A Brief Analysis of the Chinese Translation of Tess of the D 'Urbervilles from the Perspective of Functional Equivalence Theory

This paper applies Nida's dynamic equivalence theory to the appreciation of Hardy's masterpiece Tess of the D 'Urbervilles, discusses the translation of the meaning and spirit of the source text in terms of dialects, idioms and annotations from the perspective of functional equivalence theory, and further explores whether the spirit and value felt by the readers of the target text is dynamically equivalent to that felt by the readers of the source text. Finally, this paper shows the clever application of this theory and the determination to promote cultural exchange through Tess of the D 'Urbervilles.

The Exploration of Translating Terms with Chinese Characteristics — A Case Study of Report on the Work of the Government 2020

China’s annual government work report (GWR) contains terms with Chinese characteristics (TCC), reflecting unique policy frameworks. Translating these terms into English poses significant challenges due to cultural disparities between China and the West. This paper examines the English translation methods used for such terms, using the 2020 GWR as a case study, aiming to provide valuable insights for future translation practices.

Adaptive smart biomaterials to overcome metastatic tumor microenvironment heterogeneity: Theranostic strategies and clinical translation roadmaps

Over 90% of cancer-related mortality worldwide is due to metastatic disease since the dynamic tumor microenvironment poses huge challenges in preventing the spread of metastatic cancer. Introducing the advent of advanced biomaterials and their swift evolution, this review highlights the great potential of innovative biomaterials to tackle the metastatic tumor environment. Focusing on four distinct categories of biomaterial systems, the action mechanism of biomaterials utilized in anti-tumor therapy is explained in detail: 1. Nanoplatforms sensitive to biochemical cues, including pH, redox, and enzymes, are known as stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms that react according to their environment, 2. Smart nanoplatforms changing their morphology to penetrate impermeable physical barriers at the tumor site, 3. Ingenious biomaterial participating in tumor normalization, and 4. Nanoplatforms with real-time theranostic capabilities due to an innate feedback-loop mechanism. Ingeniously structured biomaterials with extensive evidence in preclinical efficacy encourage their inclusion in metastatic tumor therapy. However, their utilization in medical settings is prevented due to various challenges. Impractical manufacturing costs, regulatory and safety issues, as well as large-scale production, are major challenges restraining their widespread use. A concrete framework is proposed in this review to accelerate the biomaterial structure standardization process, following GMP and other regulatory guidelines, to implement biomaterial-based tumor diagnostics and therapies. Since incorporating advancing technologies in tumor therapy, such as AI-driven, autonomous biomaterial structures or patient-specific tumor models, would enable confronting the proliferating metastatic tumor cases.

Subtitle Translation of Coco from the Perspective of Communicative Translation Theory

In the context of globalization, the film industries of various countries have rapidly developed. China, while actively exporting its own films, has also imported a large number of excellent foreign films. As a result, film subtitle translation has become an important means of communication between different cultures. Considering the unique nature of film subtitles, it is crucial to ensure that the translation is clear, natural, and faithful to the original, so as to allow the target language audience to experience the same viewing effect as the source language audience. This aligns with communicative translation theory proposed by Peter Newmark. Therefore, this paper primarily adopts Newmark’s perspective of communicative translation theory to analyze the English-Chinese subtitles of the film Coco. The aim is to summarize the methods, strategies, and techniques of subtitle translation, providing assistance and reference for future subtitle translation work. Conclusion has been drawn that the theory of communicative translation can guide subtitle translation to some extent.

Disaggregated effects of artificial intelligence, online and mobile banking on customer satisfaction in banks: An analysis using structural equation modelling

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) era, the rapid digitalisation of services poses both opportunities and challenges for the banking sector. This study addresses how adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and online and mobile banking advancements can influence customer satisfaction, particularly in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Despite significant investments in AI and digital banking technologies, banks often struggle to align these innovations with customer expectations and satisfaction. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), this research investigates the impact of customer satisfaction with online banking (C_O) on AI integration (I_A) and mobile banking convenience (C_M). The SEM model reveals that customer satisfaction with online banking significantly influences AI integration (path coefficient of 0.40) and mobile banking convenience (path coefficient of 0.68). These results highlight a crucial problem: while technological advancements in banking are growing, their effectiveness is highly dependent on customer satisfaction with existing digital services. The study underscores the need for banks to prioritise enhancing online banking experiences as a strategic lever to improve AI integration and mobile banking convenience. Consequently, the research recommends that Nigerian banks develop comprehensive frameworks to evaluate and optimise their technology integration strategies, ensuring that technological innovations align with customer needs and expectations in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

An Analysis on the C-E Translation of the Museum of the Yao Nationality from Cultural Translation Theory

The museum of the Yao nationality, opened to the tourists in 1992, is located in the Jinxiu county of Guangxi province, China. The museum has been equipped with both Chinese and English publicity materials to people, which is convenient to the world to know more of Yao nationality. Under the guidance of Cultural Translation Theory, this paper aims at studying the English translation of the publicity ma_x005fterials in the museum, analyzes and improves some English publicity material so as to make the text more readable and understandable to the foreign tourists. Based on the case analysis, the paper summarizes some useful translation techniques and methods under the guidance of Cultural Translation Theory.
