  • 41912405 Masters Thesis CHEUNG Siu
    University of Queensland School of Languages & Comparative Cultural Studies Master of Arts in Chinese Translation and Interpreting CHIN7180 - Thesis Translation of Short Texts: A case study of street names in Hong Kong Student: Shirmaine Cheung Supervisor: Professor Nanette Gottlieb June 2010 ©2010 The Author Not to be reproduced in any way except for the purposes of research or study as permitted by the Copyright Act 1968 Abstract The topic of this research paper is “Translation of Short Texts: A case study of street names in Hong Kong”. It has been observed that existing translation studies literature appears to cater mainly for long texts. This suggests that there may be a literature gap with regard to short text translation. Investigating how short texts are translated would reveal whether mainstream translation theories and strategies are also applicable to such texts. Therefore, the objectives of the paper are two-fold. Firstly, it seeks to confirm whether there is in fact a gap in the existing literature on short texts by reviewing corpuses of leading works in translation studies. Secondly, it investigates how short texts have been translated by examining the translation theories and strategies used. This is done by way of a case study on street names in Hong Kong. The case study also seeks to remedy the possible paucity of translation literature on short texts by building an objective and representative database to function as an effective platform for examining how street names have been translated. Data, including street names in English and Chinese, are collected by way of systematic sampling from the entire data population.

  • Recreation, Sport and the Arts
    367 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong is well known for its hard- working people, but it is not an all-work- no-play city. People spend time in a wide variety of recreational, sport and cultural activities, ranging from ‘tai chi’ to yoga, football to rugby, and international arts festivals to home-grown performances. Hong Kong offers many opportunities for people to unwind. Recreation, sport and the arts provide an opportunity for people in Hong Kong to improve their quality of life. The Government helps to nurture an environment in which creative freedom, a pluralist approach to the development of the arts, sporting excellence and recreation can thrive. Government policies on matters concerning sport, recreation, culture and heritage are coordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Hong Kong Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Sports Institute, the former Culture and Heritage Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited was set up as a delivery agent to help develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high- performance sports. In January 2005, the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports Committee, the Major Sports Events Committee and the Community Sports Committee which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The new advisory structure is a milestone for sports development in Hong Kong. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides leisure and cultural services to the community, preserves its cultural heritage, beautifies its physical environment, and fosters synergy among sports, cultural and community organisations.

    For information LC Paper No. CB(2)2043/04-05(01) on 28 June 2005 SUBCOMMITTEE TO FOLLOW UP THE OUTSTANDING LEISURE AND CULTURAL SERVICES PROJECTS OF THE FORMER MUNICIPAL COUNCILS Report on Leisure and Cultural Services Projects Purpose This paper reports on the outcome of the review on the implementation programme of the 25 priority projects announced in the Chief Executive’s 2005 Policy Address and the overall position of the leisure and cultural services (LCS) projects and population in each of the 18 districts. Background 2. At the meeting held on 9 May 2005, the Subcommittee requested the Administration to provide a revised implementation programme of the 25 priority projects as well as the information on the provision of LCS facilities and the population in each of the 18 districts. Revised Implementation Programme of the 25 Priority Projects 3. With the concerted efforts of the related bureaux/departments, we are able to come up with a revised tentative implementation programme of the 25 projects (Annex 1). Of the 25 projects, we are targeting to advance the completion dates of 21 projects, by speeding up the drawing up of the scopes of individual projects; compressing the planning process at the pre-construction stage; and advancing the bidding of funds where possible. The revised programme is dependent upon the successful bidding of the necessary capital funding and findings of the necessary studies, e.g. environmental impact assessment. A total of 2 700 jobs arising from the 25 projects is expected to be PS121-05(1)-(LegCo on 28.6.05)Report on LCS projects - 2 - created between 2007 and 2011 in the construction industry, with the majority of the jobs being created by end 2008(Note).

  • RED BOAT TROUPES and CANTONESE OPERA By
    RED BOAT TROUPES AND CANTONESE OPERA by LORETTA SIULING YEUNG (Under the Direction of Jean N. Kidula) ABSTRACT: The Cantonese opera, one of China’s major operas, was inscribed as a valuable world heritage to be preserved by the United Nations in 2009. Because Cantonese people have migrated to many continents, performances, practitioners, and audiences, listeners have expanded to beyond Guangzhou in China, and Hong Kong to diasporas. The Red Boat Troupes were influential in shaping contemporary Cantonese opera. They were performing troupes that used boats for transportation between towns and villages in the Pearl River Estuary from the late Qing dynasty until 1938. These boats were specially designed for opera troupes. The boats also served as sleeping quarters for performers, musicians, apprentices, stagehands, and sailors. Many Red Boats were destroyed during the Japanese invasion of China in 1938. Unfortunately, in just 70 years, no more Red boats seem to exist. This study situates the historical background of Cantonese Opera and Red Boat Troupes. Culture, function, life style, the art, performance practice, aesthetics, and music of Cantonese opera in the Red Boat society are examined. The thesis also looks into the social and economic understandings that brought about the demand for the Red Boat Troupe industry. Changes due to modernity, industrialization, metropolitan living, trade, colonialism, Westernization, and improved transportation affected the development of Cantonese opera. Feminist movement, cross-gender performance, economics, and class issues historically associated with the opera are examined and compared to recent activities in Hong Kong, and in one Cantonese diaspora, Vancouver of Canada. The findings from the research shed light on the genre with a hope of preserving the heritage and increasing the practice and consumption of Cantonese opera.
