This paper first introduces the definitions of ambiguity and then mainly illustrates ambiguity in our daily language usage in both English and Chinese from phonetic level and syntactic level. People can learn the relationships among those levels and grasp the rule of learning language. Thus, people can realize the complexity and importance of using language and know that it is not easy to express ideas accurately.展开更多

Firstly,the translator should have a thorough understanding of the content and background,and accordingly use various techniques of translation,e.g.Literal translation,free translation,transliteration,etc;furthermore,the style of the original must be given serious consideration.Linguistic context analysis includes phonetic context analysis,syntax context analysis and syntactic context analysis.As for the syntax,as far as syntax is concerned,there are many differences between Chinese and English.Mr.Wang Li points out:"western language is rules-oriented,but Chinese is man-oriented"(Shen Xiaolong.1990:141).As for the syntax,he says:"structure of TP is close-knit and flaws less,which is inflexible,but western grammar isn't." this theses attempts to analysis how does an English version of a TP embody the style of the original poetic work by using proper syntactical form.展开更多

As a sub-register of legal language, maritime treaty English is considered to be very difficult to comprehend. This paper attempts to analyze its stylistic characteristics at the lexicalsyntactic level based on four international maritime treaties including STCW, SOLAS, MARPOL and ISM Code. It is concluded that understanding of these characteristics is both necessary and helpful in learning and teaching maritime treaty English.展开更多
