Network address translation

All members of the faculty, our new students, good afternoon! On behalf of the faculty and students from the School of Translation Studies, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to all new faces here. Now please allow me to share with you the expectation from the school faculty for all freshmen. My first point is about the genuine purpose of education in university. What’s the definition of uni? Our schoolmaster Mr. 戚万学 had talked about his own understanding of university in this year’s…

The mind is such a complex and convoluted part of the human body. Our memory and the way we perceive and interpret things is a concept that is truly fascinating to me. In the 1961 French film “Last year in Marienbad” the complexity of the human mentality is tested both within in the film itself with the main characters but also outside it with the viewers themselves. A majority of the film takes place in a hotel and focuses on an unnamed woman who is approached by an unnamed man who claims that…

Crescent to Palestine. Reading also included canonization of the Old Testament, the various translations that have arisen from different sources, the textual criticism that lead to these different translations, the geography of the Old Testament and the different periods of time from the ancient near east to the Roman Empire. The part of this reading that I found most interesting is how fluid the translation and canonization of the Bible is. Starting with…

Another weakness I noticed in my work is I would apply my own knowledge and logic to my interpretations, which is a skill that can be great, but it can also backfire. For example, one docent signed something that I was certain was accidental, so I decided to correct her mistake in my interpretation. This was a strategy that I have seen other interpreters use, and know it to be effective, but I found it was the wrong choice for this moment. The docent caught my correction and made me reinterpret…

The category of “women” used in a feminist context is rejected by Butler because it creates ground for over generalization, and thus, would misrepresent individuals of that category that leads to the public’s misinterpretation of them in turn. The language and wording used in which to supposedly unify a group of people with similar characteristics turn out to generate resistance and factionalization. The term “women” could hold certain meanings and be understood as something different at face…

Ever since the creation of written language, humanity has been connected on profound levels with each other impossible by other means. However, the gap in between separate languages has also hampered this connection in the lost experiences of translations. Although the nature of language itself is universal, the differences between two languages often obstruct the reader's ability to fully comprehend a piece of literature. The translator's struggle to balance between poetic purposes and the…

Imagism has played an important role in shifting the way poets write a poem as it focused more on the images rather than the theme of a poem. Some of the modernist poets began focusing on imagery by describing things in simple and few words and not focusing on the themes behind the images in poem, instead they let the image itself be the focus of the poem. It is like emerging languages with picture in order to create an image that stimulates the mind of the reader. It is considered as a way used…

Figurative language is the words or phrases that are different from the literal interpretation of the words. Cleanth Brooks argues that the paradox is the foundation of figurative language within poetry. A paradox is often contradictory language that requires further discovery to understand the meaning. Brooks examines multiple poems from his book “The Well Wrought Urn”. He examines Donne’s “The Canonization” which is a paradoxical poem that makes the act of death in love as true life. I aim to…

was a poet, anthologist, translator, and scholar who was born in La Habra, California. She earned a BA at Stanford University, and her PhD at UCLA. Ann Stanford’s resume was impressive and her passion for poetry and education made for a fantastic translation. Unfortunately, Ann Stanford passed in 1987 from cancer at the young age of 70. Her legacy is honored by the Ann Stanford Poetry Prize.…

In addition, in the evaluation of the translation produced by Google Translate, the extent of errors was considered as follows:  Whether the translation produced by Google Translate is wrong.  Whether Google Translate does not translate the word.  Whether Google Translate makes shift in translation, which may include addition, deletion, substitution, or ordering. According to Burt and Kiparsky (as cited in Brown, 2007) ″errors can be viewed as either global or local. Global errors hinder…
