bet365 sign up offer
Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer began at the end of the 18th century,Among them, "The Peony Pavilion" "has the most complete variety among all Kunqu opera translations、The most abundant bet365 sign up offer version”,The English bet365 sign up offer includes 3 full translations、8 selected translations and 5 compiled versions。For bet365 sign up offer purposes,On-site bet365 sign up offer and desk bet365 sign up offer are available;In bet365 sign up offer mode,There is a Chinese translator、Chinese Sinologist、Solo bet365 sign up offer by foreign sinologists,There are also cooperative translations by Chinese and foreign translators。Judging from the acceptance and spread of its English bet365 sign up offer in the English-speaking world,"The Peony Pavilion" has experienced a transformation from a "classic" in the original culture to a "classic" in the target culture: Zhang Xincang's bet365 sign up offer has been included in the textbooks of universities in English-speaking countries;Yuwen Suo'an's bet365 sign up offer is included in the "Norton Anthology of Chinese Literature" published in 1996;The overseas performance adaptation of "The Peony Pavilion" has been moved to Germany、United States、Austria、Australia and other places stage,The youth version of "The Peony Pavilion" has been performed 230 times in many countries,Nearly 580,000 viewers”。In this process,The bet365 sign up offer method of Kun Opera and the quality of the bet365 sign up offer play an undoubted important role。
pointed out in the book,Kun Opera is a fusion of languages、A comprehensive art form of music and dance,both literary、Ideology and artistry,The essential attribute appeals to synaesthesia,Interacting with the audience through multiple sensory channels,Drama of hair growth。The bet365 sign up offer is different from the bet365 sign up offer of literary texts that are only used for "reading",Or stage drama subtitle bet365 sign up offer only for "watching"。The Kunqiang which is easily confused in this book、Kun Opera、Make a clear distinction between the three concepts of Kun Opera,And pointed out that the English bet365 sign up offer of Kun Opera includes Kunshan accent、qu、English bet365 sign up offer of the play。Nida once said,“bet365 sign up offer is bet365 sign up offer of meaning”。as readable、Audio、The meaning of performable Kun Opera is not only in the text,While still dancing、The difference between voices。In other words,The meaning of Kun Opera comes from the combination of various symbolic meanings,Multimodality is its natural attribute。The traditional bet365 sign up offer research perspective can no longer satisfy the expression of multiple meanings of Kun Opera。The author of the book keenly captures the multi-modality of Kun Opera,The multimodal discourse analysis theory that will emerge in the Western linguistics community in the 1990s,Used to analyze the original and translated works of Kun Opera,Find a new exploration path to solve the above-mentioned Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer problems。Multimodal discourse analysis theory comes from natural science,Rooted in Systemic Functional Linguistics,Refers to "the combination of meanings from different symbol systems"。The book mainly sorts out the vision proposed by Gunther Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen、Aural Grammar Framework。The basis of these two grammatical frameworks is that "the meta-function of language is what any human communication system should have"。Based on the picture、Music、Summary and analysis of various types of texts such as sculpture,These two grammatical frameworks have strong explanatory power for multimodal texts。The introduction of multimodal discourse analysis theory,Resolved the unsatisfactory dichotomy in Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer - desk drama bet365 sign up offer and on-stage drama bet365 sign up offer,Reappearance and performance、bet365 sign up offer techniques of rhyme and prose,At the same time, it also pave the way for proposing critical standards for drama bet365 sign up offer that are different from literary text bet365 sign up offer。
Multimodal Kunqu Opera bet365 sign up offer Framework
As a comprehensive art, there is an essential connection between Kun Opera and multimodal discourse analysis theory,In the specific bet365 sign up offer practice and research process,This theory still needs to be adapted for applicability。By converting subject terms,Constructing the vision of Kun Opera、Aural Grammar Framework,The book proposes a Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer framework from a multimodal perspective。The bet365 sign up offer framework consists of two parts: multimodal mark recognition and recontextualization,It can be said to be a "two-step process" to guide translators in Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer: translators should first base their work on Kun Opera's vision、Audiogrammatical frame recognition、Uncover the multimodal symbols contained in the original work,Such as character actions、Visual symbols such as color and imagery, marks and rhythm、Tune、Pronunciation and other auditory symbols。
Based on the tenth chapter of "The Peony Pavilion" "Dream" cited in the book, "The words of the swallows are as clear as scissors,The sound of the oriole’s singing is round” as an example,Think in the book,The visual symbols of these two sentences are mainly reflected in the framing of the composition to strengthen the connection,Associating the individual calls of warblers and swallows with the shapes and circles of the scissors。On the auditory symbol mark,The continuous pronunciation in the tune imitates the melodious and melodious calls of orioles,The use of overlapping words also simulates the sound of birds。The author thinks,Kun Opera changes from stage performance to text,In the process of moving from source language text to target language text, there will inevitably be a second attenuation of meaning。In order to reduce the distortion of information interpretation,The translator should use the method of "re-contextualization" to reproduce the meaning constructed by the original work。In this process,Involving the translator’s choice of these modal information、Sort、Foregrounding and audience consideration。After analyzing the five English translations of the above two sentences,Proposed by the author,Most translations can pay attention to and use part-of-speech conversion (translating the original noun "cut" into the verb "sheer") and secondary conversion of modality (converting the visual modality of "the slipping circle" in the original text to "as "sleek as silk" tactile modality) foregrounds the multi-modal information of the original text。Two of the stage subtitle translations are due to audience considerations and time、Number of words、The limitations of the situation order and choose the images of the original text。However,There are also translators who have lost sight of the multimodal information in the original text and have lost meaning due to rhyme。The author thinks,Under the guidance of the multi-modal Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer framework,Elements for bet365 sign up offer criticism of general literary texts,As in the form、rhyming、Rhythm is no longer suitable as a criterion for judging Kun Opera translations,Visualization of Kun Opera’s multimodality、Interpretation of auditory symbols,It is the yardstick to measure the bet365 sign up offer。
Guard the roots and protect the roots
At the end of the book, a difficult problem that the bet365 sign up offer industry still cannot solve is the bet365 sign up offer of Kun Opera lyrics,The bet365 sign up offer for Kunqu opera actors to perform on stage。The author thinks,Music and lyrics bet365 sign up offer is a type of lyrics bet365 sign up offer,Restrictions in its bet365 sign up offer include musical notes、syllable、structure、Sentence pattern、Accent、Rhythm、Tone、Breathing, etc.。If you want to present it perfectly,It is an “unattainable thing”。At the same time,In principle of bet365 sign up offer,The bet365 sign up offer of music and lyrics is also different from other translations in following the "trust-based" principle,The musicality and singing quality of the lyrics themselves are the most important thing。But the author also pointed out,If the meaning of the original text is diminished in the process of transmitting auditory symbols such as sounds and music,The translator should also "protect the roots",Be faithful first,Then comes the formal “icing on the cake”。
This book is written by a Kun Opera lover、Kun Opera translator,The crystallization of ideas integrating practice and theory。From identifying problems to solving them is like peeling off layers of bamboo shoots,Introducing the theory in an analytical manner、Verify theory、Innovation Theory。In method,The author draws on recent Western research results,Creative transformation and absorption,For my use,Sort out the visual and auditory grammatical framework of Kun Opera。Under review of the bet365 sign up offer,From a multimodal perspective,No more combining form and content、bet365 sign up offer evaluation of dichotomies such as rhyme and prose as a criterion,Proposed new standards for Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer criticism。In research methods,Fusion Linguistics、The disciplinary perspective of bet365 sign up offer studies and art,Strive for interdisciplinary research。On theoretical construction,Starting from the "comprehensiveness" of Kun Opera itself,Proposed a Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer framework from a multimodal perspective。Whether it is in terms of methodology or epistemology of Kun Opera bet365 sign up offer research,This book is like a pathfinder,While working hard to develop a research perspective on Chinese opera bet365 sign up offer,It also extends the dimension of English bet365 sign up offer of Chinese classics。
