Training for the New Millennium

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginating at an international forum held at the University of Vic (Spain), the twelve essays collected here attest to important changes in translation practice and the assumptions which underpin them. Leading theorists respond to the state of Translation Studies today, particularly the epistemological dilemma between theories that are empirically oriented and those that are inspired by developments in Cultural Studies. But the volume is also practical. Experienced instructors survey existing pedagogies at translator/interpreter training programs and explore new techniques that address the technological and global challenges of the new millennium. Among the topics considered are: how to use translation technology in the classroom, how to construct a syllabus for a course in audiovisual translating or in translation theory, and how to develop guidelines for a program for community interpreters or conference interpreters. The contributors all assume that translation, whether written or oral, does not occupy a neutral space. It is a cross-cultural exchange that produces far-reaching social effects. Their essays significantly advance the theoretical and practical understanding of translation along these lines.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe inexorable advent of globalization has transformed the public policymaking process into a multi-faceted challenge that transcends traditional policymaking boundaries and forces scholars, experts, and practitioners to redefine their field in terms of both theory and practice. While every policy dilemma has a specific location in time and space, most significant policy issues— climate change, food and water, economic development, global pandemics, terrorism and violence, and migration, to name just a few—now require a collective framing of the problem and a collaborative effort to take effective action. The essays in Public Policymaking in a Globalized World offer valuable insights into how policymaking is evolving from a circumscribed field of inquiry into a truly global dialogue that can help stakeholders to focus on key issues that threaten the survival of our planet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK本书以杭州城市居民为主要研究对象，通过“定性和定量分析法”来了解城市居民是如何感知和评定会展产业的发展对城市的各方面及居民日常生活的影响。调查结果显示了许多不同领域的观点，其中一个较为普遍的观点是“利益感知的权衡取舍”或者可以解释成“两利相较取其重”。以此可以发现城市居民即便了解会展所能带来的负面影响，比如游客的大量增加、环境的破坏、城市拥堵的恶化等，但城市居民对正面效应例如经济效应、城市知名度提升的关注依然超过了对负面影响的关注。
