Employing rigorous longitudinal statistical methods, the study examines the progress achieved over the past two decades. Notably, domestic researchers have displayed considerable interest in the study of Lu You’s English translation works since 2001. The research on the English translation of Lu You’s poetry reveals a diverse range of perspectives, indicating a rich body of scholarship. However, several challenges persist, including insufficient research, limited translation coverage, and a noticeable focus on specific poems such as “Phoenix Hairpin” in the realm of English translation research. Consequently, there is ample room for improvement in the quality of research output on the English translation of Lu You’s poems, as well as its recognition within the academic community. Building on these findings, it is argued that future investigations pertaining to the English translation of Lu You’s poetry should transcend the boundaries of textual analysis and encompass broader theoretical perspectives and research methodologies. By undertaking this shift, scholars will develop a more profound comprehension of Lu You’s poetic works and make substantive contributions to the field of translation studies. Thus, this article aims to bridge the gap between past research endeavors and future possibilities, serving as a guide and inspiration for scholars to embark on a more nuanced and enriching exploration of Lu You’s poetry as well as other Chinese literature classics.展开更多

Introduction The study on earthquake nucleation is widely concerned by seismologists in the world. The experimental and theoretical studies indicate that earthquakes should be preceded by quasi-static slip within a nucleation zone (Oh-naka, 1992; Dodge, Beroza, 1995; Dodge, et al, 1996; Ohnaka, Kuwahara, 1990; Yamashita, Ohnaka, 1991). The earthquake nucleation process means a transition from quasi-static to quasi-dynamic rupture process, and it itself is a short-term precursor. Immediate foreshocks are local dynamic instabilities that occur during the transition from the quasi-static to the quasi-dynamic nucleation of the dynamic instability (Ohnaka, 1992). According to the recent theoretical study, immediate foreshocks can be regarded as the localized fractures accompanied by the quasi-static nucleation process of a large earthquake (Shibazaki, Matsu'ura, 1995). Therefore, foreshocks could occur during the nucleation process. The nucleation of earthquakes can be illuminated through analyzing foreshock activity in detail. Detection of the nucleation process by means of a foreshock study is a potential tool for earthquake predic-tion. The nucleation process of Izu peninsula earthquake with M=7.0 on January 14, 1978 is revealed by Ohnaka with foreshock activities. It was observed that the nucleation zone indicated by foreshocks grew at a rate of 1～40 cm/s before reaching a diameter of 10 km. The depths of foreshocks do not change much more, keep within 10 km. Recently, Hurukawa have studied the nucleation process of Off-Etorofu earthquake with MW=7.9 on December 3, 1995. The results show distinctly the nucleation process before the main shock. In the nucleation process, rupture started at the deepest point of the foreshock area, and then propagated to the shallow depth with the apparent ve-locity of 5～20 cm/s (Hurukawa, 1998). Rastogi and Mandal (1998) studied the rupture nucleation process of five Koyna medium-sized main shocks using the time-space patterns of foreshocks. They found that the nucleation zone grew at a rate of 0.5～10 cm/s until it finally attained a diameter of about 10 km before the occurrence of the main shock and the fracture nucleated at shallow depths and gradually deepened, the main shock occurred at the deepest point of the nucleation zone, that is, at the depth of about 8～11 km. Foreshock distribution showed a good agreement with the preslip model of earthquake nucleation (Rastogi, Mandal, 1998).……展开更多
