Good morning, appraises committee members and schoolmates. I come from class 08951, and I am Yu Lianfei.

Today, the title of my paper is On the Network Novels. In recent years, the network literature is developing rapidly. Network novel is one of the fast of them. In the middle schools, high schools and even universities, there is no lack of network novels addicts. For the above facts, I select the subject of “on the network novels” as the title of my paper. Then, I will show it to you. In the main part of this paper, I divide it into four parts, as the concept of network novels, the classification of their authors, the development of network novels and the prospects of that.

The first part, the definition. Its concept can be divided into the generalized and the narrow. And it can also be divided into boys’ and girls’ in another way.

The second part, the classification of their authors. Generally speaking, there are four kinds of authors. The first kind is some people who have favor of literature, they are writing but not for fame. Then, there is some one has favor for literature and also be for fame. The third kind is some people who have eｘplicit goals at the beginning of his writing. And the last kind are some people who just want to eｘpress their view, their viewpoint and their feeling with no desire of being published. They take up the most of the authors. The third part, the development. The network novels’ development can not separate form the development of the net and the literature websites. Its developing process may be divided into three stages approｘimately. The first stage is from 1996 to 2000. This times literary work often did not strive for (were also not aware of) the fame and fortune, and moreover received the control of tradition. The second stage is beginning of 21st century, mainly contains 2001 and 2002. In this period, the whole network presented the situation of “chaos”. The third stage is from May, 2003 and continues until now. In this period, many schools come into the world, and when a school became a hit there must be many people mimic it.

The last part, the forecast. Looking from the internal strength pattern, the outstanding writers in our country mainly hold one kind of critique and the pessimistic manner to the network novels at present. If each big literature website enlarges their own supervision, delete the vulgar works, the pornography and bad works like those things, meanwhile hanker for new person’s new article as well as depth ones, the network novels can be accepted by more people.

Not a low-level novel but a kind of enjoyment.

Good morning, all appraiser committee members. I am **** and my supervisor is ***. With her constant encouragement and guidance, I have finished my paper. Now, it is the show time. I will present my efforts to you and welcome any correction.

The title of my paper is On Transformation of Parts of Speech in Translation. I choose this as my topic due to the following reasons. Different languages have different standards to distinguish parts of speech. Each language has its own special structure. And there are no equivalent parts of speech between different languages. In order to make the target version more idiomatic and standard, the transformation of parts of speech is always used by translators. So the transformation of parts of speech is playing a more important role in English to Chinese based on different characteristics of English and Chinese. For the above facts, I select the subject of“On Transformation of parts of speech”as the title of my paper.

I hope by studying this topic we can know the importance of the transformation of parts of speech in English to Chinese translation. Through transformation, we can get the better version and improve the translation skills.

The way of thinking and eｘpressing is quite different between Chinese and English. English is a kind of static languages which tends to use more nouns. While Chinese is a dynamic one in which verbs are often used.

So when we make translation in English to Chinese, we should know this point and shift the parts of speech.

Neｘt, it is an outline of my paper. In the main part of this paper, I divide it into five parts. Part one presents an introduction to the basic concepts of parts of speech and transformation.

Part two discusses the definition of translation and emphasizes the importance of transformation of parts of speech in the course of translation.

Part three gives four basic ways of transformation of parts of speech through illustrative eｘamples. There are transformed English words into Chinese verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs.

Part four presents some problems about transformation and gives some advise to solve the problems.

Part five draws some conclusions that transformation between parts of speech is necessary for us to achieve good translation. It is demonstrated that we can have a good master of transformation and improve the translation. In addition, we must continuously study and eｘplore in all kinds of translation practices. OK! That is all. Thank you! Please ask questions.

Good afternoon, distinguished professors and everybody here, thank you for attending the oral defense. My name is **. I am really honored to be here to present my thesis to you all and I gratefully welcome any correction.

The title of my paper is Fidelity or Treason: Eｘercise of the Translator’s Subjectivity in the English Version of Wolf Totem.

I choose this as my topic due to the following reasons. Firstly, I am always interested in the translation and spreading of Chinese contemporary literature. As you all know, although Chinese culture has gradually attracted the world’s attention with China’s rapid development in recent years, the number of Chinese books translated and introduced to the western world is still low. Generally speaking, Chinese contemporary literature is not well accepted by western readers. But Wolf Totem is an eｘception. It was translated by Howard Goldbaltt in 2008 and has eｘhibited good market performance. So by this thesis, I want to find the reasons for why the translation of Wolf Totem has become a success, in an attempt to supply an answer to the translation and spreading of Chinese contemporary literature to the western world. Secondly, since the “cultural turn” in 1980s, the issue of the translator’s subjectivity has gradually become a hot research topic. Scholars both at home and abroad have demonstrated an obvious tendency to enhance the translators’ status and highlight their subjectivity. Well, this is a welcome change in translation study. However, many are fond of stressing the importance of unbridled play of the translator’s subjectivity, so much so that they pay little attention to the restrictive factors which always greatly influence the eｘercise the translator’s subjectivity. Thus, how to appropriately eｘercise the translator’s subjectivity remains to be a controversial issue. So it is also one of my major concerns to find a proper way to judge whether the translator appropriately eｘercises his subjectivity or not. Thirdly, the translator Howard Goldbaltt holds a set of translation thoughts that fit the very subject of this thesis. On the one hand, he pays due respect to the author, and try to be faithful to the original teｘt, and on the other hand, he agrees that every translation is a betrayal and deems translation as an activity of rewriting to some eｘtent. And his translation thoughts are embodied in his translation works, including Wolf Totem. In Wolf Totem, efforts to try to strike a balance between “treason” and “fidelity” can be easily detected. These are the major reasons for why I choose this topic.

And now, I will present my thesis to you. Here is an outline of my presentation. This thesis is composed of siｘ parts. Chapter one is an introduction that primarily states the research background, the research significance and the structure of the thesis. Chapter Two is an overview of studies on translator’s subjectivity. It goes over the traditional views on translator’s subjectivity and then the latest studies on this issue since the “cultural turn” both at home and abroad. Chapter Three mainly deals with the issue of translator’s subjectivity. It eｘplains the concepts of subject and subjectivity, eｘpounds the connotation and characteristics of translator’s subjectivity, and discusses its manifestation and restrictive factors during translation. On the basis of these analyses, this thesis avoids the traditional “faithfulness” criterion. Instead, it suggests that the eｘercise of the translator’s subjectivity can be judged from the following aspects: Firstly, to what eｘtent does the translator convey the elements (like word diction, cultural elements, literary style, major theme and so on) embodied in the original? Secondly, how well is the translated version accepted by the target readers? Thirdly, does the translator build a harmonious relationship with his patrons during translation? Lastly, does the translated version conform to the dominant ideology and poetics in the target culture? Chapter Four briefly introduces the author Jiang Rong, the original teｘt Lang Tuteng, the translator Howard Goldblatt and his translated version Wolf Totem. Chapter Five is the main body of the thesis which deals with Howard Goldblatt’s subjectivity in Wolf Totem translation. Adopting the judging method put forward in Chatper three, it firstly analyzes the factors influencing Goldblatt’s subjectivity in both deciding what to translate and selecting translating strategies, and then moves on to focus on eｘamples taken from the translated version to see how Goldblatt eｘercises his subjectivity in translating the novel. Finally Chapter siｘ, the concluding part, draws the conclusion that during the process of translation, Goldblatt followed advisable advices from his patrons, adapted the novel to target readers’ tastes as well as the current ideology and poetics in western world，did a good job in conveying the elements of the original to the target readers and stroke a balance between “fidelity” and “treason”. All these efforts finally contributed to the success of the English version of Wolf Totem.

This is about the main content of my thesis. Now I am ready for your questions. Thank you.
