First, there is more than enough theory and insufficient evidence. Second, it emphasizes translation but neglects the way to communicate through foreign students. In view of this situation, we take masterpieces of modern Chinese literature as the research object, and adopt empirical investigation methods, such as statistical analysis of the textbooks of Chinese as a foreign language, the questionnaire survey of foreign Chinese learners in the middle and advanced Chinese level, and the interviews of domestic and foreign Chinese teachers. According to the survey results, we have put forward the following suggestions: Chinese literature textbooks and comprehensive textbooks are arranged in a step-by-step manner, with the combination of points and faces; improving the literacy and Chinese literature awareness of Chinese teachers;

  • A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Institute of Translation and Interpretation National Taiwan Normal University
    A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE OF TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION NATIONAL TAIWAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY CSI CSI Shanghai: the English and French Translation of Culture-Specific Items from Two Eileen Chang Short Stories Advisee: Margaret Katherine Hayslip Advisor: Dr. Daniel Hu July 2019 lexical units culture-specific items, CSIs meaningconnotation source languagetarget language foreignizationdomestication neutralization lexicalization semantic regularitysynonymy cultural transposition Kingsbury Patton Péchenart i Abstract To a certain extent, all language is a reflection of the culture in which it originates; yet, there are some lexical units which are inextricably culture-bound. Known as culture- specific items (CSIs), these words and/or expressions refer to abstract ideas or concrete objects which only exist in a given language-culture or deviate in meaning or connotation when rendered into another. Since each has its own particular degree of opacity and cultural specificity, some may prove transparent and accessible, while others obscure and unrecognizable. Elusive by nature, CSIs do not simply exist in and of themselves—their actualization depends on the source- and target-language pair in question, the textual function of the given item, and the context of publication. This thesis attempts to explore the interesting challenge of non-equivalence such items pose to the translator, who is tasked with conveying their referents across intercultural gaps and linguistic borders. Traditionally, approaches to their treatment have been classed as either foreignizing or domesticating, but scholars have begun to remodel this time-worn dichotomy into a fluid spectrum to highlight intermediate alternatives. Exploring a wide range of possibilities, this thesis investigates how CSIs are treated in translation from Chinese into English and French, seeking to determine if they are preserved, neutralized or replaced by target-culture equivalents.
