忠信與操縱 : 當代基督教《聖經》中文譯本研究, Cho Yuen Lam Oct 2003

忠信與操縱 : 當代基督教《聖經》中文譯本研究, Cho Yuen Lam

Theses & Dissertations

在基督教群體中,《聖經》向來被視為上帝的話,享有絕對的權威。 翻譯《聖經》的工作皆以忠於原文為首要目標。不同語言的《聖經》譯 本的數量早已成為古今中外譯本之冠。近一百多年來,基督教中文《聖經》的翻譯工作持續不斷,新的譯本相繼問世。這些譯本都宣稱以忠於原文為翻譯目的、比舊的譯本更忠實可信。然而《聖經》的原文早已遺失,不同譯本依據的源文又各有不同,譯本宣稱忠於原文的各種說法,不免有名不符實之嫌;而所謂忠信,亦是一個非常複雜的變動而相對的概念。本文擬採用描述性翻譯研究的方法,借用安德烈•勒菲弗爾 (André Lefevere) 的理論,嘗試從意識形態、詩學、贊助人三方面,探討聲稱以忠信為翻譯目標的當代《聖經》中文譯本在翻譯過程中對原文的操縱情況,揭示《聖經》中文譯本名為忠信、實為操縱的翻譯現象。


Images Of Older Persons In Hong Kong Popular Films, Nga Man Wong Oct 2003

Images Of Older Persons In Hong Kong Popular Films, Nga Man Wong

Theses & Dissertations

Film watching is a popular leisure activity in modern society. Films, as a medium, provide powerful tools to deliver social messages and to create images of particular social groups. The cinematic images portrayed by films toward a particular social group may consequently shape our social perceptions and expectations of that social group. The ways that cinematic images portray older persons are, therefore, a potentially major source for detecting social values and views about them.

As some cinematic images tend to reflect social attitudes and behaviours, the present research aimed at investigating how popular films portray the images of older persons. …


Explaining Volunteering In Old Age : A Social Reinforcement Perspective, Tsz Wai Lau Sep 2003

Explaining Volunteering In Old Age : A Social Reinforcement Perspective, Tsz Wai Lau

Theses & Dissertations

Volunteering has been widely accepted as potentially a very good means to engage older persons and to maximize their contribution to society. There is a need to understand the entire process of volunteering, the reasons that motivate older persons to participate in volunteer services and activities and to appreciate why committed elderly volunteers continue to involve themselves in volunteering. The present study attempts to explore the possible motivational and sustainable aspects in the process of volunteering guided by a social reinforcement perspective. It further aims to propose an explanatory model for the initiation and sustainability of volunteering involving older persons …


意识形态、诗学与文学翻译选择规范 : 20世纪50-80年代中国的(后)现代主义文学翻译研究, Mingjian Zha Sep 2003

意识形态、诗学与文学翻译选择规范 : 20世纪50-80年代中国的(后)现代主义文学翻译研究, Mingjian Zha

Theses & Dissertations

20世纪80年代之前,西方(后)现代主义文学在中国一直受到排斥,在中国翻译文学多元系统中处于边缘的位置,在50-70年代更被视为"颓废文学"、 "反动文学"。70年代末,中国开始译介(后)现代主义文学,但引起了激烈的论争。译介者运用种种阐释和翻译策略,终于使(后)现代主义文学"合法地"进入中国文学系统,并从文学系统的边缘走向比较中心的位置。(后)现代主义文学的翻译影响了八九十年代中国文学的发展面貌。(后)现代主义文学在当代中国的文化际遇,非常生动地说明,文学翻译并不是简单的语言转换行为,而是译语文化多元系统对外国文学的文化操纵和利用。

本文采取史论结合的方式,以埃文─佐哈尔(Itamar Even-Zohar)的多元系统论作为基本理论框架,以勒菲弗尔(André Lefevere)等人的理论作为探讨具体翻译现象的理论视点,在当代中国文化多元系统动态演进的时空中,分析意识形态、诗学、文学体制与文学翻译选择规范的形成和嬗变的关系,由此阐释(后)现代主义文学在中国50-70年代被边缘化,在80年代被中心化的意识形态和诗学原因。本文还从翻译文学经典形成的角度,考察(后)现代主义翻译文学经典对80年代中国文学创作以及意识形态和诗学的影响。最后,作者根据本文研究,对系统理论进行了反思,并对如何拓展翻译文学史研究空间,提出了个人的观点。

论文通过对“消费意识形态”所遮蔽的当代中国社会问题的揭示,对“消费意识形态”在当代中国社会发生影响的深度和广度的阐释,回应了九十年代以来在中国思想界有较大影响的“后六·四”文化论争中的一些重要问题,展现了文化研究在中国大陆介入现实社会思考和批判的可能空间。

Price Convergence Between Hong Kong And The Chinese Mainland, Na Li

Theses & Dissertations

Over the past decade, goods and capital flows between Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland have increased substantially, however, there have been few rigorous empirical study on whether and to what extent the two economies integrated.

Using a panel of 17 commodity prices from Hong Kong and four major cities of Chinese Mainland (Beijing, hanghai, shenzhen, Guangzhou), I find statistical evidence of price convergence between Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. …
