Vol. 7, No. 2, 2019, pp. 49-53. doi: 10.11648/j.ijla.20190702.13 Received : March 7, 2019; Accepted : May 21, 2019; Published : June 15, 2019 Abstract: Wang Shifu and his Romance of the West Chamber have been highly valued and concerned since ancient times, but Wang Shifu had not been included in the "Four Great Scholars of Yuan Drama". There have been many controversies among the drama writers in Ming and Qing dynasties, and the reasons deserve further exploration. Nevertheless, Wang Shifu's position in the history of drama would not be questioned, nor would it prevent the Romance of the West Chamber from becoming classic. In this paper, by means of comparative study, the author combs the process of Wang Shifu becoming a classic in the context of the history of opera development, and the causes of the classicization of The Romance of the Western Chamber.

  • Functional Perspective in Drama Translation: a Case Study of Translating Courting Passages in a Canonical Chinese Play
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, March 2019, Vol. 9, No. 3, 329-337 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.03.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING Functional Perspective in Drama Translation: A Case Study of Translating Courting Passages in a Canonical Chinese Play Ann-Marie Hsiung I-Shou University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan This study explores some complex issues of drama translation—whether it should be treated as literary translation or not—by investigating two English translations of the same canonic Chinese drama, Xixiang ji. One translation claims to be literature piece while the other, stage-script. In comparing the two of different function and discussing their specific divergent expressions, this paper intends to shed some light on drama translation. It examines the translators’ purpose that closely links to their translation strategy and the function of their translation, followed by sample translations of courting passages. It illuminates the relative strength and weakness of drama translation as literature and as stage-script. Keywords: functional theories, text type, skopos, intercultural communication, gender reversal It has been long debated whether drama translation should be differentiated from other forms of literary translation. Susan Bassnett, for instance, has argued for the necessity of differentiation; after exploring the complexity of drama translation in general and the uncertainty of its performability in particular, however, she then proposes to translate drama as literature (1980/2002, p. 119; 1998, p. 107). This study explores further issues of drama translation by examining two English translations of the same canonic Chinese drama Xixiang ji—one for page while the other for stage—from functional perspective.

They selected hundreds of never- before-seen artworks from over four million objects at the museum (“Spitzmaus Mummy in a Coffin and Other Treasures”). As first-time curators, the creative duo adopted unconventional strategies, including picking objects based on colour themes and providing limited text panels. The exhibition aimed to encourage the audience to draw connections between objects.

  • Application of Frame Theory in Translation of Connotation in Chinese Ancient Poems
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 2, No. 6, pp. 1141-1146, June 2012 © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.2.6.1141-1146 Application of Frame Theory in Translation of Connotation in Chinese Ancient Poems Mingjun Yao Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China Email: [email protected] Abstract—Chinese ancient poems give prominence to the property of Chinese language that lay focus on the connotation beyond linguistic expressions. There has been long debate on which strategy should be chosen among literal or liberal translation and domestication or foreignization in translation community especially concerning cultural factors like translation of Chinese ancient poems. Frame theory provides a new perspective on the long debate of translation strategies, it illuminates on the translators that proper linguistic expressions should be found in target language to activate the identical or similar frames to those of in the source language. Index Terms—frame, Chinese ancient poems, cultural frames, connotation, translation I. INTRODUCTION Translation studies have evolved greatly, increasingly taking on the interdisciplinary features. Anthropology, comparative linguistics, psycho-linguistics, socio-linguistics have been applied to illustrate translation studies by many scholars. The complication of translation process implies such a trend. Also the high frequency of intercultural communication has intensified this trend with the result that communicative perspective has become an important component in translation studies. The frame theory that would be applied in this paper on translation is compatible with the trend in translation studies. And it is also an effective communicative perspective in probing into translation, because translation is a cross-cultural activity essentially, and frame theory takes great consideration into cultural differences, which will be expounded on the following.
