Function and Application of Descriptive Translation Studies 1 Introduction The intention of this study is to explore possible advantages of Descriptive Translation Studies as in its application in translation practice and translation analysis. Since early 20th century, translation studies gradually broke away from the marginal status within other related disciplines and established itself as an empirical science. From then on, schools of thought have kept coming out and each claims its legitimacy for existence. Among these schools is Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS). DTS approaches translation from an empirical perspective. Translation is viewed to be a social activity having significant importance in the receiving culture and for the target community. Therefore, translation is dealt with beyond the linguistic realization and language comparison, and is incorporated in social and cultural context. My attention was first directed to DTS by its peculiar characteristic of observation, description and explanation. The subject is whatever happens in translation practice, from the determination of prospective function of translation to the process of translator’s choice of strategies, brainstorming and the revision, to the final product making appearance in the target community. The method of DTS is basically descriptive. The prescriptive tendency and the problem-solution pattern is abandoned. Translation phenomena are noted down. With accumulated data, some underlying truths about translation will come out which will prove to be instructive not only for theoretical probe but also for applied translation practice. I will apply this descriptive method in the case study of this thesis. A convenient tool has been set up to conduct DTS. “Norm” is operative at every stage of description and explanation. Function, process and product and their relationship as well are skeletal structure of what constitute descriptive studies. Translation phenomena are accounted for with the help of norm. The case taken in this thesis is the Chinese classic The Dream of Red Mansions. Two English versions translated respectively by Yang Hsien-yi and David Hawks are compared and observations are made in regard to their translation approaches. In this regard, my observations are limited to several aspects, I hope in-depth observation and explanation will done in light of DTS.
2 Outline 2.1 Development and major concepts of DTS In this part I will describe Holms’ basic map of DTS and the relationship between function, process and product. I will also discuss some important concepts such as pseudo-translation, multiple translation, translationese, norm etc. 2.2 Methodolgy I will in this part discuss the methodology of DTS before I apply the same to the case study in this thesis with emphasis to be placed on semiotic approach and the concept norm. 2.3 DTS in contrast to other theories A contrast study will be conducted here with the objective to find the difference of DTS from other theories such as equivalence theory and the Chinese Xin Da Ya criteria. Some advantage will possibly be shown in this study. 2.4 Case study In this part, translation of The Dream of Red Mansions (also translated as The Story of The Stone) will be under investigation in light of DTS. Translation samples to be quoted here will be selected at random. 2.5 Conclusion Based on the above elaboration of DTS and the case study, possible conclusion will be on the advantage of DTS in specific study of translation. Suggestions on further research efforts will be made also. (Note: While the topic will remain the same, the above arrangement of contents is subject to change in the process of writing.) 0

附錄2- 引文范例(僅供參考) “It is therefore pointless to try to make TC more scientific than is sensible in view of its complex subject-matter and available methods. Translating is a mental, multi-factorial activity which cannot exhaustively be investigated within a linguistic framework ignoring the person of the translator.”(Wilss, 1982: 217) ‘“噢，這就是恐水病吧?你們貴族圈子怎么流行起這種病來啦?真夠嗆的!費芬斯小姐，您喝點茶大概沒關系吧!”’(張南峰，1990：59-60)

論文題目：the Application and Innovation of Gothicism in Wuthering Heights
一、選題的意義和研究現狀
1.選題的目的、理論意義和現實意義
長時期以來, 人們視艾米莉•勃朗特為英國文學中的“斯芬克斯”。關于她本人和她的作品都有很多難解之謎, 許多評論家從不同的角度、采用不同的方法去研究, 得出了不同的結論, 因而往往是舊謎剛解, 新謎又出, 解謎熱潮似永無休止。
本文立足于歐美文學中的哥特傳統研究《呼嘯山莊》的創(chuàng)作源泉, 指出艾米莉•
勃朗特在主題、人物形象、環(huán)境刻畫、意象及情節(jié)構造等方面都借鑒了哥特傳統, 同時憑借其超乎尋常的想象力, 將現實與超現實融為一體, 給陳舊的形式注入了激烈情感、心理深度和新鮮活力, 達到了哥特形式與激情內容的完美統一, 使《呼嘯山莊》既超越了哥特體裁的“黑色浪漫主義”, 又超越了維多利亞時代的“現實主義”, 從而展現出獨具一格、經久不衰的藝術魅力。
2.與選題相關的國內外研究和發(fā)展概況
各民族的文學中都有許多驚險、恐怖的故事, 但似乎沒有哪一種文學像英美文學那樣不僅創(chuàng)作出數量眾多、質量優(yōu)秀的恐怖文學作品, 而且還形成了一個持續(xù)發(fā)展、影響廣泛的哥特傳統( Gothic tradition) 。哥特文學現在已經成為英美文學研究中的一個重要領域。對哥特文學的認真研究開始于20 世紀二三十年代, 到70 年代以后, 由于新的學術思潮和文學批評觀念的影響, 該研究出現了前所未有而且日趨高漲的熱潮。根據在國際互聯網上的搜索, 到2000 年9月為止, 英美等國的學者除發(fā)表了大量關于哥特文學的論文外, 還至少出版專著達184部, 其中1970 年以后為126 部, 僅90 年代就達59 部, 幾乎占總數的三分之一。當然,近年來哥特文學研究的狀況不僅在于研究成果迅速增加, 更重要的是它在深度和廣度方面都大為拓展, 并且把哥特傳統同英美乃至歐洲的歷史、社會、文化和文學的總體發(fā)展結合起來。
