TRANSLATION RESEARCH OF COLD MOUNTAIN POEMS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TRANSLATOR BEHAVIOR CRITICISM

The spread of Cold Mountain (Han Shan) poems is a text travel. As an important phenomenon of Chinese culture as well as a world cross-cultural phenomenon, it has significant research value. From the perspective of translator behavior criticism, the translator's volitional nature, identity and the social context in which the translator's behavior takes place all influence the translator's internal and external translation behavior. Based on the "Truth-seeking-Utility-attaining" Continuum Mode of Evaluation, we find that different sinologists display different translator's behavior characteristics when translating Cold Mountain poems into English. This paper summarizes the general behavior rules of translators, which can provide some references for the "going out" of Chinese culture.

AbstractIn a provocative article published recently in Archaeological dialogues (23(2)), Olivier Gosselain proposes ‘to get rid of ethnoarchaeology once and for all, and join forces with other, more serious, disciplines’. In this reaction article, I challenge Gosselain's sweeping statements about ethnoarcaheology. In particular I argue against the notion that methodological weakness is unique to ethnoarchaeology, that the questions under study ignore the complexity of the social context, and that the search for cross-cultural regularities denies the historical dimension of technical practices. In conclusion, I suggest that rather than getting rid of ethnoarchaeology, it would be more helpful to meet the ambitious goals of ethnoarchaeology by improving and strengthening the methodology.

I argue in this article for the use of a dialogical approach to cost-benefit analysis, which is identified here as a process that rationalizes cross-cultural judging. Weighing in on the Kahan-Sunstein debate about the effect of culture on risk perception, I use economic valuations of Indigenous sacred sites to demonstrate how cost-benefit analysis can misrepresent loss. I identify the way cost-benefit analysis operationalizes preferences that have little relevance for perceptions of substitutability, property, or harm related to sacred sites held by some Indigenous peoples. In doing so, I problematize the use of cost-benefit analysis as a method for ascertaining loss and contextualize risk in the social context in which it is perceived. In order to further procedural justice, I recommend valuation of loss that allows for epistemological disparities in determining rationality. This dialogical approach expects to maximize the accuracy of cost benefit analysis so as to create greater accountability for loss valuation and destabilize formulations of culturally determined preferences as bounded but corrected by expert knowledge.

This paper examines the roles that culture and accounting education play in helping to resolve ethical dilemmas in business. Using a sample of Chinese and Canadian business students, the results show that the Chinese are more willing to sanction a variety of businesses and accounting policy choice decisions that the Canadians consider to be inappropriate and unethical. Furthermore, accounting students are better able to resolve accounting and business dilemmas regardless of their cultural background. Finally, this study finds that the social desirability bias, to present oneself as more ethical than is actually the case, is a cross-cultural phenomenon.
