Application of Narrative Theory in News Transediting: A Case Study of the International Political News in Reference News
Get PDFReference News is the only newspaper on the Chinese mainland that has the legal authority to publish foreign news directly, giving a transediting version of the latest news and comments around the world. Transediting, as a distinct type of translation, must not only faithfully convey the original content but also adapt the original structure in light of the international situation, to fulfill the needs of multiple parties. According to narrative theory, translation is re-narrative, and the original text’s frame of time and space must be reconstructed, which coincides with the method required for transediting. In this paper, the author takes advantage of the narrative theory to analyze the transediting news of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in Reference News, conducting the transediting practice effectively.

Examining the Personality of Arthur Fleck in Joker 2019: The Shift From an Innocent Man Into a Supervillain
Get PDFTodd Phillips’ film Joker, a 2019 psychological thriller, has displayed the main character, Arthur Fleck, as a perplexing, eccentric character. Arthur appears to be a poor, marginalized man at first glance. But as the plot progresses and we witness life from Arthur’s perspective, we’re left questioning whether he’s a good man, a bad man, or just schizophrenic. In this research, Arthur’s perplexing personality will be examined using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis. The study aims to uncover Arthur’s true personality and his shift from an innocent man into a supervillain by analyzing his Id, ego, and superego. The method used to study Arthur’s character dimensions is the descriptive qualitative method, by watching the movie and reading the script thoroughly. The study revealed that Arthur suffers from mental illnesses that affected how he was treated and that the tough circumstances Arthur has been through have shaped him into becoming the Joker.
The Relationship Between DouYin Use Intensity and Parenting Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Online Upward Social Comparison
Get PDFBased on the current situation of parenting anxiety, this paper constructs a parenting anxiety evaluation model based on structural equation model (SEM), and uses partial least squares (PLS) to estimate the parameters, and makes a comprehensive evaluation of parenting anxiety. The results show that the intensity of parents’ Douyin use (ID) is positively correlated with the Network upward social comparison (NUSC). There is a positive correlation between Network upward social comparison (NUSC)and parenting anxiety(PA), that is, the upward social comparison on the Internet generated during the use of Douyin by parents is likely to cause parenting anxiety; The intensity of Douyin use is positively correlated with parenting anxiety, that is, the greater the intensity of Douyin use is, the more likely it is to produce anxiety in the process of parenting. Online upward social comparison plays a mediating role in the relationship between Douyin use intensity and parenting anxiety

MIND-AS-BODY Metaphor in Igbo
Get PDFPolysemy and metaphor have been discussed by many linguists. It is generally agreed that polysemy arises from a general cognitive ability humans possess. Metaphor is seen as general and basic to humans in both thought and language. Uwalaka (1988) mentions the verbs of perception in Igbo with a focus on the argument structure and semantic roles associated with this class of verbs. However, no mention is made about the polysemous nature of this special class of verbs, as well as the cognitive basis for this phenomenon. Following the ways of semantic extension in English perception verbs in Sweetser (1990) and Ibarretxe-Antuñano (1999, 2002, 2008), this paper treats perception verbs in Igbo with a focus on two things. First, to find out the range of metaphorical extensions associated with these verbs in Igbo, and to establish the extent to which the language data supports the claim that these metaphorical mappings are cross-linguistic. Finally, it is observed that the MIND-AS-BODY metaphor is not only productive in Igbo, it also follows the pattern attested in the literature
