1. Different Kinds of Meetings

Meeting

Meeting is a general and summary term of various kinds of assembly of people Since the definition of meeting is rather extended and demarcated , it can mean any kind of gathering, pre-arranged or non-arranged, formal or informal; the time can be long or short; the scale, large or small; the participants, many or a few, and so on.To specifically clarify a meeting, therefore, the names of meeting should be further demarcated .

Conference

Conference is a kind of formal meeting , often lasting for a few days. It is organized on a particular subject to bring together people who have a Conference generally refers a specialized professional or . People often use the term international conference to mean a meeting held at the international level , with the participants coming from different countries.

1. Different Kinds of Meetings

Symposium

Symposium (pl.

symposia/symposiums ) refers exclusively to the meeting for specialized academic discussion .

At a symposium, experts, scholars, and other participants of a

particular field discuss a particular subject.

Compared with conference, a symposium is usually narrower and more specific in the range of topics . In terms of scale, a symposium may be smaller than a conference , because sometimes a conference may include several symposiums held simultaneously (as satellite symposiums).

Seminar

A class -like meeting, where participants discuss a

particular topic or subject that is presented by several major speakers.

Different from the general situation of a meeting, the

presentations are mainly given by chief speakers, while other people first listen and then join them. In this sense, a seminar can be taken as lecturing plus discussion.

第二章第一篇 To say that we live in an age of electronics is an understatement. From the omnipresent integrated circuit to the equally omnipresent digital computer, we encounter electronic devices and systems on a daily basis. In every aspect of our increasingly technological society— whether it is science, engineering, medicine, music, maintenance, or even espionage—the role of electronics is large, and it is growing. 谈论关于我们生活在一个电子学时代的论调是一种空泛的论调。从无处不在的集成电路到同样无处不在的数字计算机,我们在日常活动中总会遇到电子设备和电子系统。在我们日益发展的科技社会的方方面面——无论是在科学、工程、医药、音乐、维修方面甚至是在谍报方面——电子学的作用是巨大的,而且还将不断增强。 In general, all of the tasks with which we shall be concerned can be classified as "signal-processing“tasks. Let us explore the meaning of this term 一般说来,我们将要涉及到的工作被归结为“信号——处理”工作,让我们来探究这个术语的含义吧。 A signal is any physical variable whose magnitude or variation with time contains information. This information might involve speech and music, as in radio broadcasting, a physical quantity such as the temperature of the air in a room, or numerical data, such as the record of stock market transactions. The physical variables that can carry information in an electrical system are voltage and current. When we speak of "signals", therefore, we refer implicitly to voltages or currents. However, most of the concepts we discuss can be applied directly to systems with different information-carrying variables. Thus, the behavior of a mechanical system (in which force and velocity are the variables) or a hydraulic system (in which pressure and flow rate are the variables) can often be modeled or represented by an equivalent electrical system. An understanding of the behavior of electrical systems, therefore, provides a basis for understanding a much broader range of phenomena. 信号就是其与时间有关的量值或变化包含信息的任何物理变量。这种信息或许像无线电广播的演讲和音乐,或许是像室内温度的物理量,或许像股市交易记录的数字数据。在电气系统中能够载有信息的物理变量是电压和电流。因此当我们谈到“信号”,我们不言而喻指的是电压和电流,然而,我们要讨论的大多数概念是可以被直接应用于载有不同信息的变量的系统,因此,一个机械系统(在这个系统中力和速度是其变量)或者液压系统(在这个系统中压力和流速是其变量)的性能通常可以用一个等效的电气系统来模拟或表示。因此,我们对于电气系统性能的理解为理解更宽领域的现象打下了一个基础。 A signal can carry information in two different forms. In an analog signal the continuous variation of the voltage or current with time carries the information. An example, in Fig.2-l, is the voltage produced by a thermocouple pair when the two junctions are at different temperatures. As the temperature difference between the two junctions varies, the magnitude of the voltage across the thermocouple pair also varies. The voltage thus provides an analog representation of the temperature difference. 一个信号可以以两种形式来承载信息。在一个模拟信号中电压或电流随时间而产生的连续变化载有信息。在图2-1中,当一对热电偶的接头处于不同的温度时由热电偶所产生的电压就是一个例子。当两个接头之间的温度差改变时,一对热电偶两端的电压也将改变。于是电压就提供了温度差的模拟表现形式 The other kind of signal is a digital signal. A digital signal is one that can take on values within two discrete ranges. Such signals are used to represent ON-OFF or YES-NO information. An ordinary household thermostat delivers a digital signal tocontrol the furnace. When the

Most people can formulate a mental picture of a computer, but computers do so many things and come in such a variety of shapes and sizes that it might seem difficult to distill their common characteristics into an all-purpose definition. At its core, a computer is a device that accepts input, processes data, stores data, and produces output, all according to a series of stored instructions. Computer input is whatever is put into a computer system. Input can be supplied by a person, by the environment, or by another computer. Examples of the kinds of input that a computer can accept include the words and symbols in a document, numbers for a calculation, pictures, temperatures from a thermostat, audio signals from a microphone, and instructions from a computer program. An input device, such as a keyboard or mouse, gathers input and transforms it into a series of electronic signals for the computer. In the context of computing, data refers to the symbols that represent facts, objects, and ideas. Computers manipulate data in many ways, and we call this manipulation processing. The series of instructions that tell a computer how to carry out processing tasks is referred to as a computer program, or simply a "program." These programs form the software that sets up a computer to do a specific task. In a computer, most processing takes place in a component called the central processing unit (CPU), which is sometimes described as the"brain" of the computer. A computer stores data so that it will be available for processing. Most computers have more than one location for storing data, depending on how the data is being used. Memory is an area of a computer that temporarily holds data that is waiting to be processed, stored, or output. Storage is the area where data can be left on a permanent basis when it is not immediately needed for processing. Output is the results produced by a computer. Some examples of computer output include reports, documents, music, graphs, and pictures. An output device displays, prints, or transmits the results of processing. Computers are versatile machines, which are able to perform a truly amazing assortment of tasks, but some types of computer are better suited to certain tasks than other types of computers. Computers can be categorized as personal computer, handheld computers, workstations, mainframes, supercomputers , and servers. 大多数人可以制订一个电脑精神的图片,但电脑做很多事情,出现这样的形状和大小不同,它似乎难以提炼成一个全能的定义,它们的共同特点。在其核心,一台计算机是一种装置,它接受输入,处理数据,存储数据,并产生输出,根据对所有存储一系列指示。 什么是计算机输入到计算机系统的压力。输入可提供的一人,由环境,或由另一台计算机。对输入的各种例子,一个计算机可以接受包括文字和符号的文件,规定计算,图片,从恒温器的温度数字,音频信号从一个麦克风,从电脑程序指令。一个输入设备,如键盘或鼠标,集输和转换成一个电子信号的计算机的一系列。 在计算中,数据是指以符号代表的事实,对象和想法。计算机操作在很多方面的数据,我们称之为操作处理。一系列的指令,告诉计算机如何进行处理任务,被称为一个计算机程序,或只是一个“程序”。这些方案形成了软件,建立了计算机做特定的任务。在计算机中,大部分处理发生在一个组件的地方称为中央处理单元(CPU),有时为“大脑的计算机”来形容。 计算机存储数据,以便它会被用作处理可用。大多数计算机有多个用于存储数据的位置,这取决于数据如何被使用。内存是计算机的一个领域,数据是暂时持有等待处理,存储或输出。在数据存储,是可以在一个地区长期离开时,没有立即处理所需。 输出是由电脑产生的结果。电脑输出的一些例子包括报告,文件,音乐,图形,图片。输出设备显示,打印,或传送的处理结果。 电脑是多功能机,它能够执行各种各样的任务十分惊人,但某些类型的计算机更适合比其他类型的计算机的某些任务。计算机可以被归类为个人电脑,掌上电脑,工作站,大型机,超级计算机和服务器。

论非英语专业研究生的翻译教学

龙源期刊网 https://www.360docs.net/doc/5010602927.html, 论非英语专业研究生的翻译教学 作者:倪艳笑王克强 来源:《文学教育·中旬版》2015年第08期 内容摘要:为了适应知识经济发展的需求,研究生应用能力的培养备受教育者的重视。 如何使翻译教学从应试型向实用型转化,已成为新形势下研究生翻译教学改革的重要任务。 本文结合非英语专业研究生翻译教学中存在的问题,探讨了适合我校非英语专业研究生翻译教学的专门用途英语教学方法—合作教学。 关健词:翻译教学专门用途英语非英语专业研究生合作教学 一.引言 随着国际交流的日益加强,社会对高校研究生的英语应用能力提出了更高的要求。但 是,传统的英语教学方法只重视对学生进行知识的灌输,而学生实际的应用能力并没有得到充分的重视。作为一名研究生学术翻译课的教师,经常听到学生抱怨说课上对老师的讲解非常明白,但是一旦要自己翻译论文时又感到无从下手、束手无策,最后只能求助于翻译机构或是翻译专业的学生。然而,由于专业背景知识和经验的缺乏以及翻译水平的良莠不齐,许多译文最终都变成了地地道道的汉语式英语,严重影响了学生学术论文翻译的质量。因此,如何使翻译教学从说教型向实用型转化,如何培养和提高学生实际的翻译能力,已成为全国大多数高等院校非英语专业研究生翻译教学改革的重要任务。 在这种背景下,专门用途英语(English For Specific Purposes,简称ESP)应运而生。它是在经济全球化、科技一体化、文化多元化背景下所产生的一门新兴学科。专门用途英语强调语用的交际教学理念和实践,培养学生英语实用能力。专门用途英语教学内容要与学科专业知识相关,但重点仍应放在提高学生实际应用英语的能力上。具体到翻译教学中,学习的重点应该体现在学生如何用英语来表达自己的专业学术论文内容。 目前,学者们的相关研究在借鉴专门用途英语教育对研究生的ESP教学的必要性、模式、机制等问题都做了有益的尝试。但是随着社会的发展,各种新的问题层出不穷,非英语专业研究生的ESP教学也出现了一些新问题,需要我们从事翻译教学的老师进一步研究和探 讨。为克服现有研究的不足和片面,本论文将以我校非英语专业研究生学术翻译课程为案例,探讨研究生翻译教学过程中的问题,以期为推广研究生的专门用途英语教学实践提供可资借鉴的策略和建议。 二.ESP教学方法在非英语专业研究生翻译教学中遭遇的问题 《硕士/博士学位研究生英语教学大纲》(非英语专业)明确指出:“研究生英语教学的宗旨是为了使学生掌握英语这门工具,进行本专业的学习、研究和国际交流……,在教学中要培

英语研究生专业分类

与其他不少考研热门专业一样,英语专业研究生招生的研究方向设置非常细,不同学校的方向设置类别不一,名称也各异。 比如上海外国语大学英语语言文学专业下设有语言方向、文学方向、教学法方向、翻译学方向、口译学方向、英语国家文化方向、跨文化交际方向7个方向。而同样是外语类专业院校,北京外国语大学该专业设置的研究方向明显不同,广东外语外贸大学该专业设置的8个研究方向更与前两所学校无一相同。 在这种情况下,不少备考英语专业的同学对“如何选择研究方向”这样的问题一头雾水,也就不足为怪了。 就英语专业考研而言,外国语言文学下设置的二级学科很多,包括英语语言文学、俄语语言文学、法语语言文学、德语语言文学、日语语言文学、印度语言文学、阿拉伯语语言文学、欧洲语言文学、亚非语言文学、外国语言学及应用语言学、翻译学11个学科。其中,涉及英语专业的二级学科主要有3个:英语语言文学、外国语言学及应用语言学、翻译学。 一般院校的英语专业多设置英语语言文学和外国语言学及应用语言学两个专业,所以,英语专业考研的专业设置其实比较简单,一般就是两大专业。不过,这两个专业被不同学校细化研究方向以后,就变得复杂了。如前面说到的上海外国语大学英语语言文学专业下设有7个方向,这7个方向进一步细分,小的研究方向达37个之多。 英语专业的研究方向虽名目众多,却也并非杂乱无章,其设置仍是遵循一定规律的。粗略分析,这些研究方向可分为传统研究方向和新兴研究方向两大类。 传统研究方向 传统研究方向,顾名思义,指的是设置多年的老牌研究方向,这些研究方向一般学校都有开设。 1. 文学方向 开设学校:全国绝大部分招收英语专业研究生的学校。据2007年的招生统计,仅有17所招收英语专业研究生的学校没有开设文学方向。 研究内容:主要研究英美文学研究领域中的重大问题,目的在于提高文学素养、理论水平和研究能力。 就业方向:此方向开设学校多,招生人数较多,就业范围非常广泛,一般为教师、研究人员。所学课程:西方文论、美国经典文学、美国现当代文学、英国经典文学、文学批评、英国文学选读、美国文学选读、17~19世纪英国文学研究、希腊戏剧研究、英国长篇小说选读、美国长篇小说选读、英国诗歌选读、美国诗歌选读、英美散文鉴赏、王尔德戏剧欣赏、英国短篇小说欣赏、美国短篇小说鉴赏、英美戏剧鉴赏、中国文学史、中国古典文学选读等。 2. 语言学 开设学校:全国绝大部分招收英语专业研究生的学校。据2007年的招生统计,仅有9所招收英语专业研究生的学校没有开设语言学方向。 研究内容:语言学是我国高校近年来普遍设置的一个综合性的语言研究学科。主要学习语言学理论及语言在各种学科中的应用,不同学校侧重点有所不同。 通过大量阅读有关文献、论文和最新的研究成果报告,使学生对于语言学的形成和发展有进一步的了解,并了解现代语言学的最新动向和最新发展。语言学特别强调和重视研究生的广泛阅读,包括专业的外语期刊和近几年的语言学相关论文。 就业方向:该专业理论性较强,主要面向大中专教师及研究人员。 所学课程:语言学概论、语用学与话语分析、应用语言学、现代语法学、语义学、语用学、英语语体学与文体学、语篇分析等。 3. 英美文化研究 开设学校:南京大学、上海外国语大学、天津师范大学等。

非英语专业的我如何成为一名翻译

非英语专业的我如何成为一名翻译 通常一些不太熟悉的人问起大学学什么专业的时候,我一般都会简单的说英语专业。一来我确实有个英语专业的本科文凭,虽然是自考的。并且我又做了多年的英语翻译,水平也不错。另外还有一个很大的原因是这样可以避免过多的解释。其实我大学里学的不是英语专业。作为一个高中时期物理化学成绩很出色的理科生,虽然我也非常喜欢英语和历史、文学,但是在填报大学专业的时候却想都没想就惯性地全选了理工类。不得不说,当时的自己视野非常狭窄,十几年前网络信息还没有这么发达,几本厚厚的专业填报指南在同学手中传来传去,每个专业看上去都神秘而神圣。我当时没有在外上大学的亲友给参谋,父母文化程度也不高,社会经验仅限于所在乡镇最多到县城的小世界,无法给予我额外的指导和启发。而自己在多年强化学习的过程中也从未关注过自己内心的需求,从来没有想过自己真正喜欢什么,未来想要做什么。虽然学习成绩不错,也都是一路被老师和考试推着走过来的。可以说,那个时候心智尚未开启,一切都很懵懂。进入大学以后,视野慢慢变得开阔,接触的人群里有了很多思想比较先进头脑灵活行为独树一帜的人,逐渐受到震撼和启发,自己也开始无意识地寻找自己的个性和定位。后来我强烈地意识到自己以后不想做一辈子科研类的工作,

也不愿意与机器打交道,而是更愿意与人打交道。同时,也认识到英语一直是我的强项,也是我的兴趣所在。但是那个时候已经大三了,换专业已不可能。除非重新参加高考,否则我只能老老实实把本专业课程学好,不然连本科毕业证都拿不到。我不想再浪费几年光阴重新高考,但是又想以后从事英语方面的工作,觉得自己必须得有个学历证明才好找工作。后来听人说有自学考试这个东西,我就很果断地去了当地的自考中心咨询。报考条件没有太多限制,看到有英语这个专业,我当场就报了名,还买回几本专业课的课本。记得那个时候自学考试每年有四次考试时间,上半年下半年各两次。我一次报两个科目,自己买课本和习题自学。不得不说,自己感兴趣的事情做起来就特别有动力。那些纯英文版的《语言学》、《词汇学》、《英语高级语法》、《英美文学》等专业课本,里面很多理论和术语都非常枯燥。但是我不仅一本本啃完了,还做了很多笔记,比老师上课时还认真。当然这些基本都是在课余时间做的,因为本专业的课还要上,有的老师会点名的。有的时候也去英语系蹭课,因为特别珍惜老师授课的机会,所以听得也超级认真。就这样在大学毕业的那年,我把英语专业的所有自考科目都考过了。最后还要写论文并做论文答辩,主题可以是文学作品分析、语言学翻译学理论分析等。我喜欢文学,但因为一些传统的经典作品都有很多人写过,很难写出新意。我就选了诺贝尔文学奖获得

中国英语专业研究生与非英语专业研究生英语批评语策略对比研究

中国英语专业研究生与非英语专业研究生英语批评语策略对比研究[Abstract]Criticism is a speech act which is indispensable in university contexts. This speech act can pose considerable difficulty to intercultural communication for foreign language (FL) learners. This study aimed to investigate the overall use of the pragmatic strategies in criticisms employed by English and non-English major postgraduates. The data were gathered from 34 English and 26 non-English majors (n=60) by means of a written discourse completion task (WDCT). The results showed that there was no significant difference in the use of direct strategies, external mitigating devices or internal mitigating devices between English majors and non-English majors. However, the non-English majors employed the indirect strategies significantly more frequently than the English majors. [Key words]criticism strategies,postgraduates,English majors,non-English majors I. Introduction In human communication, criticism is as important and indispensable as other speech acts, as it serves as bridges that engender understanding and connect individuals together.

自动化专业英语课文重点句子翻译(精)

In the case of a resistor, the voltage-current relationship is given by Ohm’s law, which states that the voltage across the resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the value of the resistance. 就电阻来说, 电压—电流的关系由欧姆定律决定。欧姆定律指出:电阻两端的 电压等于电阻上流过的电流乘以电阻值。 2]It may be that the inductor voltage rather than the current is the variable of interest in the circuit. 或许在电路中,人们感兴趣的变量是电感电压而不是电感电流。 Viewed in this light, it will be found that the analysis of three-phase circuits is little more difficult than that of single-phase circuits. 这样看来,三相电路的分析比单相电路的分析难不了多少。 At unity power factor, the power in a single-phase circuit is zero twice each cycle. 在功率因数为 1时,单相电路里的功率值每个周波有两次为零。 It should be noted that if the polarity of point Awith respect to N ( is assumed for the positive half-cycle, then when used in the same phasor diagram should be drawn opposite to, or 180? out of phase with, . 应该注意,如果把 A 点相对于 N 的极性(定为正半周,那么在用于同一相量图中时就应该画得同相反,即相位差为 180? One problem with electronic devices corresponding to the generalized amplifiers is that the gains, AU or AI, depend upon internal properties of the two-port system. 对应于像广义放大器这样的电子装置,一个问题就是增益 AU 或者 AI ,它们取决于两输入端系统的内部特性。

电气工程及其自动化专业英语第一章课文翻译

第一章第一篇sectiong Two variables u(t) and i(t) are the most basic concepts in an electric circuit, they characterize the various relationships in an electric circuitu(t)和i(t)这两个变量是电路中最基本的两个变量,它们刻划了电路的各种关系。 Charge and Current The concept of electric charge is the underlying principle for explaining all electrical phenomena. Also, the most basic quantity in an electric circuit is the electric charge. Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which matter consists, measured in coulombs (C). 电荷和电流电荷的概念是用来解释所有电气现象的基本概念。也即,电路中最基本的量是电荷。电荷是构成物质的原子微粒的电气属性,它是以库仑为单位来度量的。 We know from elementary physics that all matter is made of fundamental building blocks known as atoms and that each atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons. We also know that the charge e on an electron is negative and equal in magnitude to 1.60210×10-19C, while a proton carries a positive charge of the same magnitude as the electron. The presence of equal numbers of protons and electrons leaves an atom neutrally charged. 我们从基础物理得知一切物质是由被称为原子的基本构造

英语专业及非英语专业学生选用词典的差异Word版

英语专业与非英语专业学生选用词典的差异 厦门大学外文学院08级英专四班,翁凡茸 学号:12020082203202 摘要:有效使用英语工具书是当今英语学习的趋势。本文通过比较分析市面上主流词典的收词、释义风格、例证与编排,来区分英语专业与非英语专业选用词典的差异,以期为各类人群选择合适自己的英语工具书提出建设性意见。 关键词:词典,英语专业,非英语专业 一、引言 由于英语专业学生与非英语专业学生在英语基础、学习进程与就业方向等方面有着较大的差异,故在挑选适合自己的英语工具书时,标准也有明显的不同。目前,市场上的各大词典有的专为英语专业学习者量身定做,有的则为非专业的英语爱好者打造。如何选择适合自己的英语工具书,则是一门重要的学问。以下我们将对各种工具书的功能与特点进行介绍与分析,以明确区分英语专业与非英语专业学生选用词典的差异。 二、正文

1.浅谈英语专业学生应当如何选用词典 根据调查研究,每两种语言互译之后,在整体含义上至少存在70%的差异。所以对于英语专业的学生来说,英汉词典甚至有可能成为学习途中的绊脚石。比如:breakfast在英语词典中是这样解释的:the first meal of the day,它的准确意思是“一天的第一顿饭”而不是“早餐”的意思。因此,学习英语过程中,对于每个单词的认识,应当在其语言本身中认识,而不是运用汉语来解释,这样读者才能体会到词与词之间细微的差异。由此可见,要想真正学好英语,英语专业学生应当开始跳出汉英词典的窠臼,开始接触英英词典 英英词典最大的好处就是提供了一个纯英语的环境。通过查词典可以增加英语的阅读量,而看懂英语释义的过程就是学习用英语思考、用英语理解的过程,这可以帮助你跳过中文的中间环节,直接理解单词的含义。从而提高你的英语反应速度。如果要真正学好英语,至少一定要有一本英英词典。另外,使用英英词典能够增加语感,准确理解英语单词的词义及用法,有助于培养英语学习者书面语和口语的准确表达及语言技能的恰当运用。(陈玉珍,2003:2) 以下介绍几部适合英语专业学生使用的英英词典: (1)《柯林斯高级英语学习词典》(Collins Cobuild Advanced learner's Dictionary)
