基于读者反应的红色旅游英译文本可读性研究

随着我国红色旅游业的快速发展,以翻译为主要途径的外宣工作的重要性日益彰显,如何评价外宣文本的可读性逐渐成为学界关注的热点问题。文中以井冈山景区的英译文本为例,通过问卷调查和访谈的方式收集了十五位目标语读者关于外宣文本的反馈意见。结果显示:译文的可读性受文本质量、文本长度和读者背景等诸多因素的影响。由于译者对英译文本的目标语读者和文本功能认识不足,译文在词汇、语句和语篇等层面均存在不同程度的问题。     

连南八排瑶语名量词研究

连南八排瑶语的名量词是通过语义对名词进行分类的,但是语义分类的界线逐渐模糊,这是八排瑶语名量词的一个方面。其次是八排瑶语名量词的句法分布及句法功能逐渐萎缩,有较广泛的句法分布和丰富的句法功能的名量词只有tsa44、dui24、tu53/na44。以tsa44、dui24、tu53/na44为切入点,对八排瑶语名量词的句法进行描写。     

A guide to prenatal counseling regarding neurodevelopment in congenital heart disease

Advances in cardiac surgical techniques taking place over the past 50 years have resulted in the vast majority of children born with congenital cardiac malformations now surviving into adulthood. As the focus shifts from survival to the functional outcomes of our patients, it is increasingly being recognized that a significant proportion of patients undergoing infant cardiac repair experience adverse neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes. The etiology of abnormal brain development in the setting of congenital heart disease is poorly understood, complex, and likely multifactorial. Furthermore, the efficacy of therapies available for the learning disabilities, attention deficit, and hyperactivity disorders and other ND deficits complicating congenital heart disease is currently uncertain. This situation presents a challenge for prenatal counseling as current antenatal testing does not usually provide prognostic information regarding the likely ND trajectories of individual patients. However, we believe it is important for parents to be informed about potential issues with child development when a new diagnosis of congenital heart disease is disclosed. Parents deserve a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to this subject, which conveys the uncertainties involved in predicting the severity of any developmental disorders encountered, while emphasizing the improvements in outcomes that have already been achieved in infants with congenital heart disease. A balanced approach to counseling should also discuss what local arrangements are in place for ND follow-up. This review presents an up-to-date overview of ND outcomes in patients with congenital heart disease, providing possible approaches to communicating this information to parents during prenatal counseling in a sensitive and accurate manner.
