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 t

he 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 thi

s as my topic due to the following reasons. Different languages have different standard

s to distinguish parts of speech. Each language has its own special structure. And there a

re no equivalent parts of speech between different languages. In order to make the targ

et version more idiomatic and standard, the transformation of parts of speech is always u

sed by translators. So the transformation of parts of speech is playing a more important r

ole in English to Chinese based on different characteristics of English and Chinese. For th

e above facts, I select the subject

of“On

Transformation of parts of

speech”as

the title o

f my paper.

I hope by studying this topic we can know the importance of the transformation of part

s of speech in English to Chinese translation. Through transformation, we can get the bet

ter version and improve the translation skills.

The way of thinking and expressing is quite different between Chinese and English. Engli

sh is a kind of static languages which tends to use more nouns. While Chinese is a dyna

mic one in which verbs are often used.

So when we make translation in English to Chinese, we should know this point and shift t

he parts of speech.

Next, it is an outline of my paper. In the main part of this paper, I divide it into five part

s.

Part one presents an introduction to the basic concepts of parts of speech and transform

ation.

Part two discusses the definition of translation and emphasizes the importance of transfo

rmation of parts of speech in the course of translation.

Part three gives four basic ways of transformation of parts of speech through illustrativ

e examples. There are transformed English words into Chinese verbs, nouns, adjectives a

nd adverbs.

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

he problems.

Part five draws some conclusions that transformation between parts of speech is necessa

ry for us to achieve good translation. It is demonstrated that we can have a good maste

r of transformation and improve the translation. In addition, we must continuously stud

y and explore in all kinds of translation practices.

OK! That is all. Thank you! Please ask questions.

Good evening, all the appraiser committee members. I come from HUST, majoring in for

eign linguistics and applied linguistics. I am *** and my supervisor is prof.***. With he

r sincere and intellectual guidance, for nearly one whole year's hard work, I have finishe

d my paper. Finally, it is the show time. This evening I will present my efforts to you all a

nd I gratefully welcome any correction.

The title of my paper is A Study of the Causes of the Gothic Style

in A Rose for Emily from a Feminist Perspective. I choose this as my topic due to the follo

wing reasons. Firstly, I am fond of literature works , especially gothic literature works. Se

condly, I am quite familiar with this short story as this is one of the texts in our intensiv

e teaching course and I have taught this text for more than 3 times . Last but not the le

ast ,as a female , I am keen on the study of feminism. For the above facts, I select the s

ubject of A Study of the Causes of the Gothic Style in A Rose for Emily from a Feminist P

erspective as the title of my paper.

I hope by studying this short story we can know more about American southern women i

n certain history and culture and more importantly help women in modern society get a d

eeper understanding about ourselves ,help us raise our independence and confidence an

d show more concern for our mental health.

Next , I will present it to you. Here is an outline of my presentation. They are literature r

eview, gothic tradition , the gothic style in the story and the causes of the gothic style .

This paper consists of six parts. Part one presents an introduction to the author William F

aulkner and A Rose for Emily by pointing out the purpose and significance of this stud

y. Part two is literature review which introduces the relevant research about this novel a

t home and abroad and then points out the theoretical basis and methods. Part three giv

es a timeline of the gothic tradition in literature and explains the main characteristics of g

othic works. Part four explains the three aspects of the gothic style in the novel

，

that is, t

he death theme, grotesque characters and mystic atmosphere. Part five then explains i

n detail the causes of the gothic style in this novel: patriarchal oppression, the myth of s

outhern ladyhood and

Emily’s

attitude towards love. Finally, in the conclusion, the autho

r summarizes the previous parts and emphasizes the significance of the argument of th

e thesis again.

Ok, that's all. Now you may raise your questions ! I am ready! Thank you !!!
