‘No ‘til we know.’ Fela ba a tseba naa? Using African languages to communicate about HIV and AIDS to young South Africans

Abstract

An experiment was conducted in order to determine the extent to which the presentation of HIV and AIDS messages in different languages would affect the appreciation and comprehension of these messages among young South Africans. Interviews were carried out with 60 learners in rural and peri-rural schools in Limpopo Province. Four messages (on posters or in radio advertisements), were presented in three languages. The interviews focused on appreciation (to what extent do the participants like the messages?), perceived comprehension (to what extent do the participants think that they understand the message?), and actual comprehension (to what extent do the participants really understand the message?). The language of presentation did not prove to have any influence on appreciation, perceived comprehension or actual comprehension. A considerable gap was found between perceived comprehension and actual comprehension; participants overestimated their level of understanding. Significant correlations were found between perceived comprehension and appreciation, indicating that the better members of this target group think they understand HIV and AIDS messages, the more they like them.     

三级考试阅读和翻译备考探索——以四川省大学英语三级考试为例

近期四川省大学英语三级考试阅读理解试题有以下几个特点:阅读资料的内容涉及面较广,含传记、社会、文化、日常生活、科普知识等多个方面;文体多是说明文和议论文;命题方式主要有确定中心思想型、辨认重要事实型和判断、推理、概括型;并且考试在向整体能力测试转变。备考策略上应有针对性。翻译题大部分来自阅读文章,且全是英翻汉的选择题。针对这一题型,解答应抓住以下关键点:注意分析英语句式的整体结构和英汉表达习惯的区别;注意识别文章文体和写作风格并结合语境并将翻译联系上下文;注意句中细节性翻译,做到翻译准确;根据严密的推理排除干扰选项,得出正确答案。而无论阅读还是翻译能力的提高,根本在于注重养成训练。     

论萨特的“介入文学”

萨特所谓"介入文学"的重要美学观点其实质可以概括为:介入就是揭露,揭露就是要改变.在萨特看来,写作就是要求自由,只要开始写作就已经介入了;阅读则是作者与读者之间的一项豪迈的协议,作家向读者的自由发出召唤以便使他的作品存在,读者的自由也反过来召唤作家的自由.萨特不仅将其狭义的"介入文学"的概念扩展为广义的"介入艺术"的概念,而且提出了"实践文学"和"整体文学"的概念,前者表现出萨特越来越强调实际行动的重要性,而后者则是指未来理想社会中将会产生的一种理想的文学.萨特整个美学观所依据的基础和高扬的主题只有一个,那就是人的最高本质或最高价值--自由.
