Do not reject a source because it makes an argument against your thesis.,3. Choose sources written by acknowledg

Choose the most current sources: If your topic involves a current issue or social problem or developments in a scientific field, it is essential to find the latest possible information. If all the books on these topics are rather old, you probably need to look for information in period
19、icals.,5. When you write literature review, the two major principles to follow are: 1) Review the sources that are most relevant to your thesis; 2) Describe or write your review as clear and objective as you can. In doing so you may approach or structure your review from chronological perspective; o
20、r from the theoretical to the empirical; or from the general to the specific.,什么是文献综述,文献综述是在对文献进行阅读、选择、比较、分类、分析和综合的基础上,研究者用自己的语言对某一问题的研究状况进行综合叙述的情况研究成果。文献的搜集、整理、分析都为文献综述的撰写奠定了基础。,文献综述的写作要求,1. 文献综述的格式 文献综述的格式与一般研究性论文的格式有所不同。这是因为研究性的论文注重研究的方法和结果,而文献综述介绍与主题有关的详细资料、动态、进展、展望以及对以上方面的评述。因此文献综述的格式相对多样,但总的来说
21、,一般都包含以下四部分:即前言、主体、总结和参考文献。,1). 前言: 要用简明扼要的文字说明写作的目的、必要性、有关概念的定义,综述的范围,阐述有关问题的现状和动态,以及目前对主要问题争论的焦点等。对于本科论文写作,前言一般200字左右为宜。 2). 正文: 是综述的重点,写法上没有固定的格式,只要能较好地表达综述的内容。正文主要包括论据和论证两个部分,通过提出问题、分析问题和解决问题,比较不同学者对同一问题的看法及其理论依据,进一步阐明问题的来龙去脉和作者自己的见解。当然,作者也可从问题发生的历史背景、目前现状、发展方向等提出文献的不同观点。,3). 总结:作者应对各种观点进行综合评价,提
22、出自己的看法,指出存在的问题及今后发展的方向和展望。 4). 参考文献,是综述的重要组成部分。一般参考文献的多少可体现作者阅读文献的广度和深度。以最近3-5年内的最新文献为主。,2.注意事项 1). 搜集文献应尽量全面。掌握全面、大量的文献资料是写好综述的前提,否则,随便搜集一点资料就动手撰写是不可能写出好的综述。 2). 注意引用文献的代表性、可靠性和科学性。在搜集到的文献中可能出现观点雷同,有的文献在可靠性及科学性方面存在着差异,因此在引用文献时应注意选用代表性、可靠性和科学性较好的文献。,3). 文献综述不应是对已有文献的重复、罗列和一般性介绍,而应是对以往研究的优点、不足和贡献的批判性
23、分析与评论。因此,文献综述应包括综合提炼和分析评论双重含义。 4). 文献综述要文字简洁,尽量避免大量引用原文,要用自己的语言把作者的观点说清楚,从原始文献中得出一般性结论。,5). 文献综述不是资料库,要紧紧围绕课题研究的“问题”,确保所述的已有研究成果与本课题研究直接相关,其内容是围绕课题紧密组织在一起,既能系统全面地反映研究对象的历史、现状和趋势,又能反映研究内容的各个方面。 6). 文献综述的综述要全面、准确、客观,用于评论的观点、论据最好来自一次文献,尽量避免使用别人对原始文献的解释或综述。,3. 学术论文参考文献的著录格式 1).专著:作者.书名M.版本(第1版不著录).出版地:出
24、版者,出版年.起止页码. 2.期刊: 作者.题名J.刊名,年,卷(期):起止页码. 3.会议论文集(或汇编): 作者.题名A.编者.论文集名C.出版地:出版者,出版年.起止页码. 4.学位论文: 作者. 题名D. 学位授予地址:学位授予单位,年份. 5.专利: 专利申请者. 专利题名P.专利国别(或地区):专利号, 出版日期.,6.科技报告: 著者. 报告题名R.编号,出版地:出版者,出版年.起止页码. 8.报纸文章 : 作者. 题名N. 报纸名,年-月-日(版次). 9.电子文献: 主要责任者.电子文献题名电子文献及载体类型标识.电子文献的出处或可获得地址,发表或更新日期/引用日期(任选).

St. Jerome (347-420A.D) and john Dryden (1631-1700A.D) both believe that naturalness should be the most significant factor in the target text, and that an excellent translat

Also, the translator has to own the capacity of recognizing the styl

A French theorist Paul Valery (Mao Ronggui, 2005:14) proposes that a translation ought to have the spirit of the original,and the adoption of the translatio

36、ich one character is repeated. 【define the key term specifically】 They have not only beautiful word forms, but also musical rhyme (Cai Hua, 2006). In classical Chinese poems, the employment of reduplicated words was quite popular since the appearance of Book of Poetry 【italics】 (诗经)(Xu Yuanchong, 19
37、93). Afterwards, this practice was accepted by exponents of various schools of thoughts in the period of pre-Qin.,From that time on, this writing skill was carried on. Now, reduplicated words are still enjoying their popularity, not only in in written Chinese, but also in spoken Chinese. 【in bothand
38、】The reason for their popularity is that they have their unique advantages. 【for their unique advantages】,对概念的界定应放在开头段,主体部分的写作应围绕提出问题-分析问题-解决问题思路进行。,In china, nearly all translation theories are bound up with philosophy and aesthetics. Fu Lei refers to the terminology of Chinese painting 【?】and pers
39、ists that a wonderful translation should have the “similarity in spirit”. Qian Zhongshu is in favor of his “theory of sublimation(化境)” after examining the target texts translated by Lin Shu.,As Lin Yutang proposes, Chinese characters are endowed with the beauty of their phonetic sounds (Xu Yuanchong
40、, 1983). Language is a carrier of thoughts, and it has to rely on the phonetic sounds to make the thoughts understood by the message receivers. For centuries, languages have been studied for the sake of combining their phatic function and their aesthetic value.,这部分应紧紧围绕研究的话题去写,即语言学家对叠词英译的评述。,During
41、this process, one of the most important finds 【?】is the musicality of language (Xin Hongjuan, 2003). In particular, the musicality of reduplicated words, which are a special lexical phenomenon with beautiful phonetic sounds, should be well transferred into the target text so as to fully maintain the
42、 appeal 【?】of the words. The emphasis should be on conveying the message of the original in a form which conforms to the linguistic, cultural and pragmatic conventions of target language rather than mirroring,the actual words of source language as closely as possible without infringing the target la
43、nguage norms. The translator is permitted greater freedom to interpret source language and will consequently smooth over irregularities of style (Peter Newmark). However, Nida and Taber pointed out, “to preserve the content of the message, the form must be changed”. In the previous studies at home,
44、Li Yiyin(1988:76), Zhou Dubao (1999:62), and Cai Hua (2006:60) insist that Chinese reduplicated words can be translated through adding some words,like “every, each” and “like” into the equivalent nouns of the target text, because this method retain the special forms of the Chinese reduplicated words
45、. Consequently, 【?】the beauty of reduplicated words cannot be completely shown to the receivers of the target texts. 【Chinese reduplicated words cannot be completely appreciated by target language readers】 However, 【?】 the reproduction of the musicality of reduplicated words in the target language i
46、s seriously neglected in the former studies. 【lack of coherence and cohesion】,Our central focus is examining and evaluating the literature that makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the topic and establishing the relevance of this information to your own research.

49、主要问题是什么?”;没有详细分析问题,即“汉语叠词英译过程中出现问题的因素是什么?”; 没有提出解决问题的方法,即“如何运用目的论的角度来解决问题”,This paper aims to analyse the translation strategies of reproducing the musicality and functions of the Chinese reduplicated words, and its final goal is in fact to recreate the charms of the code of Chinese expression.,Note: Conclusion should sum up the main finding of the literature review and give suggestions as to what future reseach should focus on. 你这里所写的不是你论文的总结,而是文献综述的小结。 在这里作者应对各种观点进行综合评价,提出自己的看法,指出存在的问题及今后发展的方向和展望。,Note: Wed better provide topic sentences at
