Our cover story this month has all three of these elements and it’s an instant classic. Back at the conclusion of last year, shortly after publishing another history-related feature on the alleged lost Roman legion of ancient China, a friend contacted me with a hot tip: There had been a 16th century Spanish settlement in South China and historians believe it would likely have been located somewhere in the Pearl River Delta. This short-lived trading post, I soon learned, was called El Piñal, and my colleague Ryan Gandolfo has spent the last several months researching the site’s fascinating history. On pages 34 to 43, we share the story of El Piñal. In our City section, Jesse Pottinger and myself introduce you to the beauty of Guangdong’s abandoned Canada Village (page 10), which is located south of Guangzhou and west of Shenzhen in Kaiping. We also have a fantastic travel guide to Nanjing (page 20) in our Lifestsyle section, and some cool concert previews and album recommendations in our Arts section, courtesy of our national arts editor, Bryan Grogan. I’ll wrap this month’s note off with a heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in our 2019 That’s Hospitality Awards at the end of last month. It was a memorable evening and I cannot wait to share the official results with you in our October issue. Until then, keep your stick on the ice!

  • Analysis of Tidal Prism Evolution and Characteristics of the Lingdingyang
    MATEC Web of Conferences 25, 001 0 6 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201525001 0 6 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Analysis of Tidal Prism Evolution and Characteristics of the Lingdingyang Bay at Pearl River Estuary Shenguang Fang, Yufeng Xie & Liqin Cui Key laboratory of the Pearl River Estuarine Dynamics and Associated Process Regulation, Ministry of Water Resources, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ABSTRACT: Tidal prism is a rather sensitive factor of the estuarine ecological environment. The historical evolution of the Lingdingyang water area and its shoreline were analyzed. By using remote sensing data, the evolution of the water area of the bay was also calculated in the past 30 years. Due to reclamation, the water area was greatly decreased during that period, and the most serious decrease occurred between 1988 and 1995. Through establishing the two-dimensional mathematical model of the Pearl River estuary, the tidal prism of the Lingdingyang bay has been calculated and analyzed. The hybrid finite analytic method of fully implicit scheme was adopted in the mathematical model’s dispersion and calculation. The results were verified though the method of combining the field hydrographic data and empirical formula calculation. The results showed that the main tidal entrance of the bay is the Lingdingyang entrance, which accounts for about 87.7% of the total tidal prism, while Hong Kong’s Anshidun waterway accounts for only 12.3% or so. Combining the numerical simulations and the historical evolution analysis of the water area and tidal prism, and compared with that in 1978, it showed that the tidal prism of the bay was greatly decreased, and the reduced area was mainly the inner Lingdingyang bay, which accounted for 88.4% of the whole shrunken areas.

  • A Novel Approach for the Assessment of Morphological Evolution Based on Observed Water Levels in Tide-Dominated Estuaries

Assessing the impacts of both natural (e.g., tidal forcing from the ocean) and human- induced changes (e.g., dredging for navigation, land reclamation) on estuarine morphology is par- ticularly important for the protection and management of the estuarine environment. In this study, a novel analytical approach is proposed for the assessment of estuarine morphological evolution in 5 terms of tidally averaged depth on the basis of the observed water levels along the estuary. The key lies in deriving a relationship between wave celerity and tidal damping or amplification. For given observed water levels at two gauging stations, it is possible to have a first estimation of both wave celerity (distance divided by tidal travelling time) and tidal damping or amplification rate (tidal range difference divided by distance), which can then be used to predict the morphological changes 10 via an inverse analytical model for tidal hydrodynamics.

  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.
