Purpose of the course to help the students to be fully aware of the major differences between English and Chinese so that they can do a good job in EC or C-E translation practice. That is to say, after a thorough and comprehensive study of the major differences between these two languages and cultures, the students’ crosslingual and cross-cultural awareness will be greatly enhanced, which will in turn ensure/guarantee a successful transference of the thoughts conveyed in the original text into proper ones in the target text.

The arrangement/layout of the course book

The book is divided into two major parts. The first part is concerned with Language & Culture, which consists of ten pairs of differences between English and Chinese, while the second part focuses on Modes of Thinking, which also covers ten pairs of differences between Chinese and Western nations.

These pairs of differences presented in the book are clearly illustrated by numerous examples chosen from books, newspapers and magazines published at home and abroad so that the readers can thoroughly understand them and perform well in E-C translation practice or vice versa.
