With the guidance of Optimality Theory, this paper elaborates on the constraints that must be observed in transliteration to achieve Chinese phonological harmony from phonemic equivalents. It analyzes the ranking of constraints for structural acceptability of the loanwords.展开更多

This paper compared these similarities and discussed their application in translationpractice.展开更多

This article is based on Eugene·Nida's"the Functional Equivalence"principle with three char acteristics of sitcoms'subtitle to study the type, form and features of the Big Bang Theory, which lead to the conclusion of sitcom subtitle's characteristics. It helps us to analyze its subtitle from six aspects. As the result, the author of the paper makes the conclusion of translation tactic about Big Bang Theory, which could help the subtitle translation of similar sitcoms.展开更多
