Ancient Chinese Education最早的学校教育•据古籍文献记载,古代中国早在四千多年前的虞舜时代就已经出现学校教育。
在河南安阳出土的三千多年前的商代甲骨文中,多处出现「学」字,就是当时进行教育活动的证明。
西周时期,学校教育已形成制度。
随后历经春秋战国五百年动荡,官学瓦解,私学兴起,出现了古代最伟大的教育家孔子和百家争鸣的学术繁荣。
Development of Ancient Education•Spring and Autumn Period–Confucius’private school:•3000 disciples;•72 virtuous and talented students•Han Dynasty Education–Great Academy or “Taixue”(太学)Development of ancient education •From Sui and Tang Dynasties to Ming andQing Dynasties•The Guozijian (国子监): Imperial Academy orImperial College–Song Dynasty•Shuyuan(书院): private educationalorganizationDevelopment of Ancient Education •Shang Xiang (上庠: shàng xiáng), was a schoolfounded in the Yu Shun 虞舜era in China. Shun (舜, 2257 BCE–2208 BCE), the Emperor of theKingdom of Yu 虞, or 有虞Youyu, founded twoschools. One was Shang Xiang (shang 上,means up, high), and the other one was XiaXiang 下庠, xia 下means down, low. ShangXiang was a place to educate noble youth.Teachers at Shang Xiang were generally erudite 博学的, elder and noble persons.Development of Ancient Education •Confucius’educational ideas:–“Education should be for all, irrespective of theirsocial status.”(有教无类)–“Six arts”: ritual, music, archery, chariot-riding, writing,and arithmetic.(六艺:礼、乐、射、御、书、数)–“Confused is one who learns without pondering;endangered is one who ponder without learning.”(学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆)–Extrapolation(推论): if I hold up one corner and astudent cannot come back to me with the other three,I do not go on with the lesson. (举一隅不以三反,则不复也)Taixue (太学)•Taixue (太学) which literally means Greatest Study or Learning was the highest rank of educational establishment in Ancient China between the Han Dynasty and Sui Dynasty. It was replaced by the Guozijian(国子监). The first nationwide government school system in China was established in 3 CE under Emperor Ping of Han(汉平帝), with the Taixue located in the capital of Chang'an and local schools established in the provinces and in the main cities of the smaller counties.Taixue (太学)•Taixue taught Confucianism and Chinese literature among other things for the high level civil service, although a civil service system based upon examination rather than recommendation was not introduced until the Sui and not perfected until the Song Dynasty (960–1279).汉代学制结构Guozijian(国子监)•The Guozijian (国子监), the School of the Sons of State sometimes called the Imperial Central School, Imperial Academy or Imperial College was the national central institute of learning in Chinese dynasties after the Sui. It was the highest institute of learning in China's traditional educational system.唐代学制结构Guozijian(国子监)•Guozijian were located in the national capital of each dynasty --Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Nanjing. In Ming there were two capitals; thus there were two Guozijian, one in Nanjing and one in Beijing. The Guozijian, located in the Guozijian Street(or Chengxian street) in the Eater District, Beijing, the imperial college during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties (although most of its buildings were built during the Ming Dynasty) was the last Guozijian in China and is an important national cultural asset.北京国子监Shuyuan (书院:Academies)•The Shūyuàn (书院), usually known in English as Academies or Academies of Classical Learning, were a type of school in ancient China. Unlike national academy and district schools, shuyuan were usually private establishments built away from cities or towns, providing a quiet environment where scholars could engage in studies and contemplation without restrictions and worldly distractions.Shuyuan (书院:Academies)•Shuyuan as a modern term•In the late Qing dynasty, schools teaching Western science and technology were established. Many such schools were called Shuyuan in Chinese. Despite the common name, these shuyuan are quite modern in concept and are quite different from traditional academies of classical learning.Shuyuan (书院:Academies)•Notable Academies•In discussing the shuyuan, it is common to speak of the "Four Great Academies" (四大书院) of ancient China.Usually the "Four Great Academies" refers to the Four Great Academies of the Northern Song. However,sources give a number of different lists, sometimesexpanded to Six or Eight Great Academies. Only oneacademy, the Yuelu Academy, appears in all lists. Each school went up or down the list in different periods.White Deer Grotto Academy had long been anoutstanding academy. As for the impact on the politics of China, Donglin Academy in the Ming Dynasty isespecially notable.The Four Great Academies •Also known as the Four Great Academies of the Northern Song or the Four Northern Song Academies.–Songyang Academy–Yingtianfu Academy–Yuelu Academy–White Deer Grotto Academy•白鹿洞书院为宋代四大书院之首。

Amplification(增词法)
Amplification(增词法)One of Translation Techniques Commonly Used---- AmplificationIt’s well known to us that as far as CET-4 & 6 are concerned, translation is an important and necessary part, but many students usually do a very poor job in this part. The shared problem that always puzzles them is that even though they have a very large vocabulary and know the Chinese meaning of each English word, but they cannot translate an English sentence or paragraph accurately. The main reason is that they lack English-Chinese translation skills and techniques. Today I’d like to introduce one of the commonly-used translation techniques, that is amplification. Then, what is amplification. Before we define it, let’s look at the following example.e.g. There are three chief effects of electric currents: the magnetic, heating and chemical.电流有三种主要效应,即磁效应,热效应和化学效应。
翻译增词法(amplification)
语义性增补(semantic amplification)
为了使语义明确,畅达通顺,符合汉语的习惯,翻译中常常根 据意义的需要增加动词、名词、形容词、副词、量词、范畴词、 概括词,以及表示名词的负数、动词时态等方面的词。
1.Mary washed for a living after her husband died of acute pneumonia.
码丽在丈夫患急性肺炎去世后,靠给人洗衣服维持生活。
2。When I came to I was in the water, swimming automatically, though I was about two thirds drowned.
当我醒来时,发觉自己在水里,虽然浸得半死,却本能地 浮着。
毫无疑问,他以为会有热烈的拥抱,满桌的食物,激动的泪水, 欢乐的笑声,一段接一段的谈话,一次又一次的拥抱,没完没 了。(增加了三个形容词,形象描绘了他想象中的欢乐场景, 使表达更加生动)
2。The sky is clear blue now the sun has flung diamonds down on meadow and bank and wood. 此时已是万里蓝天,太阳把颗颗光彩夺目的钻石洒向草原,洒 向河岸,洒向树林。(增补形容词)
英语中常用省略句,翻译时要根据汉语的表达习惯,作些适当的增 补。
Any person not putting litter in this basket will be liable to a fine of $ 5. 任何不把凌乱的东西放入这个筐内而任意乱扔的人将被处以五美圆 罚款。(增补any person后省略的leaving litter about instead of这一部分。)

2. 增补非人称的或强势句中的it it可以指天气、时间,还常用来表示强调、代替不定式等。 汉语中的许多表达方法,翻译成英语时需要增补it。如: • 三点钟了。 It is three o’clock now. • 我们这样做都是为了你好。 It was for your benefit that we did all that. 3. 增补做宾语的代词或先行宾语it • 汉语里只要从上下文能看清楚,宾语常常可以省略,但英 语中凡是及物动词都得有宾语,因此要增补宾语。如: • 我真的认为学好英语很重要。 I do think it important to learn English well. • 把这些故事看完以后,用你自己的话讲一遍。 After you have read these stories, tell them in your own words.
School of Foreign Languages
• 3. 原文中表示范畴的词: • 汉语中的名词,如任务、工作、情况、状态、问 题、制度、事业、局面等通常具有具体的含义, 应当照常翻译,但如果用来表示范畴,失去具体 含义,可以省略不翻译。如: • 在党的领导下,中国人民已经完成了解放事业。 Under the leadership of the Party, the Chinese people have succeeded in their liberation. • 前怕龙后怕虎的态度不能造就干部。 “Fearing dragons ahead and tigers behind” will not produce cadres.

英汉互译4-amplification
英汉互译4-amplificationUnit 4 AmplificationAmplification, also called addition, means supplying necessary words in our translation on the basis of accurate comprehension of the original. As a matter of principle, a translator is not supposed to add any meaning or subtract any meaning from the original. However, this does not mean that a translator should refrain from supplying necessary words to make his/her version both accurate in meaning and in keeping with the idiomatic use of the language to be translated into. In fact, it is precisely for the purpose of “faithful representation” of the author that we often resort to “amplification”.I. Amplification in English-Chinese Translation1.1. Adding Words Omitted in the Original"If so grand, why so poor? If so poor, why so grand?"“既然那么阔,干吗要叫穷?既然那么穷,干吗摆阔气?”Matter can be changed into energy, and energy into matter.物质可以转化为能,能也可以转化为物质。
