Survey of Vietnamese-Chinese economic and commercial translation textbooks/books system and related suggestions

The exchange of cultural and economic aspects among nations and ethnicities is an essential demand and necessity of the modern societal development process. As of now, Vietnam has established diplomatic relations with nearly 190 countries and territories. Being a neighboring country with a long-standing relationship with Vietnam, China has consistently been Vietnam’s largest trading partner and the second-largest export market. Meanwhile, Vietnam continues to be China’s largest trading partner among countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the 6th largest globally. These figures demonstrate vibrant and potentially expansive trade activities between the two nations. Throughout these exchanges and trade activities, translation between Chinese and Vietnamese plays an immensely crucial role, even determining the success or failure of an economic transaction. Despite its importance, there is a scarcity of materials related to the field of economic and commercial translation between Chinese and Vietnamese at large bookstores, university libraries, book-selling websites, digital databases, etc. in both China and Vietnam. If available, they tend to cover only a few topics with economic vocabulary, concepts, and policies yet to be updated. Through conducting a survey of the system of books/textbooks related to Vietnamese-Chinese Economic and Commercial Translation, combined with practical data published on the websites of Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, and Ministry of Planning and Investment, this paper aims to provide assessments and proposals regarding the compilation of translation textbooks that align with development trends and bilateral economic cooperation. It seeks to contribute to the development of a high-value Vietnamese – Chinese Economic and Commercial Translation textbook suitable for Vietnamese learners, with practical significance and wide applicability not only in academic institutions but also in society at large.

Children’s Literature in Russia: Publishers’ Perspectives

Children’s Literature in Russia: Publishers’ Perspectives Olga Muravieva (bio), Angela Lebedeva (bio), and Anastasia Pimkina (bio) Translated by Tatiana Lukonina and Max Tompson In light of this special IBBY Congress issue that enlightens readers about Russian children’s literature, a series of questions has been posed to national publishers with regard to the growing market for children’s literature in Russia. The following conversation features: Vitaly Zyusko – the chief editor of the publishing house KompasGid Boris Kuznetsov – the director of the publishing house ROSMEN Olga Muravieva – Head of AST children’s department Sergey Tishkov – the head of the Mainstream editorial office of young adult literature (a division of AST) Irina Balakhonova – the editorial director of Samokat Publishing house Maria Melik-Pashayeva – cofounder and chief editor of Moscow publishing house of children’s literature Melik-Pashayev Elena Izmailova – the chief editor of CLEVER children’s book publishing house In your opinion, are trends in children’s literature publishing markedly different in Russia compared to other cultures? If so, how? Irina BALAKHONOVA: They are different just as Russian society is different from the West. We face a lot of taboos in conversations with children and have far more conservatism than in Western children’s book publishing. In Russia the words in a book are, as always, the center of attention; we’re a very word-centric country. “What’s there to read here?” is the most common question of even the most brilliant picturebooks and artists’ books in the largest bookstore on the Internet, Labyrinth. And people have a similar attitude toward illustrations; readers in Russia like very detailed, realistic, vivid illustrations. And, for example, the illustrations of the Russian avant-garde, which readers all over the world cherish and love, are practically unknown in Russia. [End Page 52] Maria MELIK-PASHAYEVA: Trends in Russia are different from foreign trends. Overseas the most popular kind of book for toddlers is a picture-book. In Russia, though, when they choose books for their children, parents often don’t understand picturebooks and prefer to see a lot of words. People in Russia don’t like overly contemporary drawing, unlike, say, in France. The Russian reader takes a more traditional view of illustrations. Boris KUZNETSOV: The direction in which children’s literary publishing is developing is, on the whole, similar to the one in Europe; the differences are connected above all with the slow process of updating the body of children’s literature and with the excessive influence of time-honored classics. Inert educational programs have supported these classics in their unchanging form for many years. Vitaly ZYUSKO: Based on our interactions with colleagues from foreign publishing houses, I get the impression that, all told, the situation is more or less the same worldwide: the number of books printed is commensurable, e-books are far from overtaking paper books in children’s and young adult literature, and people’s interest in audiobooks is growing steadily from year to year. If you take note of the specifics, however, I think they lie far outside the sphere of publishing as such. In Russia, children’s and young adult literature are held to very strict standards of what they should be, what they should contain, and so it’s often unthinkable to imagine the books for twelve-year-olds that are being published overseas being released in our country. Olga MURAVIEVA: Illustrated classics of domestic and foreign literature enjoy the same popularity as ever in Russia. Over the past few years in Russia, people have started showing interest in instructional and educational literature. And that, I think, is a notable phenomenon not only in Russia, but in the whole world. More and more often, the purchase of books is connected with education, and not with entertainment. In school, children read an equal amount of fiction and nonfiction books. Fantasy is the leading genre. Publications featuring augmented reality (AR) are gaining momentum despite the fact that publishing such books is several times more expensive than ordinary publishing. Sergey TISHKOV: Among youth, whom we primarily target, young adult literature is very popular, both in Russia and in other countries. We’re actively translating contemporary young adult literary fiction...

Sequential Science: A Guide to Communication Through Comics

In both large bookstore chains and local comic book stores, it is relatively easy to find comics that focus on politics, history, and autobiographies. These comics are often incorporated into the curriculum in social studies classes at the primary, secondary, and college level, but there are far fewer science comics and even less research about their implementation. In this article, a brief rationale for the use of science comics is given based on five qualities—that they are motivating, visual, permanent, intermediary, and popular. Research projects that have studied the effectiveness of comics are summarized, but in many cases these studies have a small sample size or lack control groups. Following an introduction to science comics and their implementation, guidelines and resources are provided to help science communicators produce their own comics and to encourage educational studies into their use. As case studies, comics that I have worked on are described along with the results of how they were used, including page views and research projects.

이용자 체험에 따른 서점 공간의 표현특성 연구

In recent years, as selling books on the internet becomes popular, the number of off-line bookstores are rapidly dwindling away. This change on the book market requires, the function and space of the bookstores should be defined again. Now bookstores are the places of experiences on cultures, world-views, and lifestyles around books. The study examines six large bookstores and finds three strategies of space expression as follow. First, Dominicanen bookstore in Maastricht which was built as a church has an expression which contrasts the old and the new as well as the sacred and the profane. Fangsuo bookstore in Chengdu creates a modern underground Sutra Depository. Here, people experience history and religion. Second, Cook & Book in Brussels has nine theme areas, each with a different selection of books, different interior decoration and special food and beverage like a theme park. Zhongshu bookshop in Shanghai has a lattice of nine reading rooms in which each unique design theme is characterized based on each book subject. Third, Cultura Bookstore in Sao Paulo is created to support social interchange. It leads people to the enormous plaza of books where people read books freely and participate in workshops, movies and all kinds of events. Daikanyama Tsutaya Books in Tokyo is composed of three white box-form pavilions which are connected by a 55-meter long aisle, called a magazine street. People walk along the street and choose concierge services as they browse magazines and books. The study finds out three strategies of design in current large bookstores to promote place-experience, which are the story-telling of history and culture, the design of theme parks, and openness for public mingling like plazas and streets. Thus, the study suggests a new paradigm in the design of bookstores in this internet age.

Kolkata

WORLDLITERATURETODAY.ORG 7 KOLKATA HAS MUCH TO OFFER any traveler, whether history buff, literary aficionado , culture seeker, or wandering flâneur. In several places around the city, all these converge within the spaces of colonial buildings , festivals, and even the streets. Two buildings reminiscent of Kolkata’s colonial past are the Victoria Museum and the National Library. The Victoria Museum , named after England’s Queen Victoria , was constructed after her death and officially opened in 1921. The museum has a large collection of books from science to literature, including several rare books dating back to the 1870s such as Shakespeare ’s Twelfth Night and The Arabian Nights. More rare books from the 1860s are housed in the National Library, which dates back to 1836 and is the first public library opened in the region. The library contains books in several different languages from the region and holds important historical periodicals and journals. During renovations in 2010, a 250-year-old enclosure was found with no entrance points. To this day, archaeologists speculate that the enclosure may be either a torture chamber or a blind chamber filled with treasure. Along with the old colonial buildings is the Oxford Bookstore (not affiliated with Oxford University Press), which has been selling books since 1920. The bookstore also created the Apeejay Literary Festival, now an annual event in January. It is arguably the oldest and largest literary festival in India, holding events at historical sites such as the Victoria Memorial, the Indian Museum, and the bookstore itself. The Kolkata Literary Festival, also known as Boi Mela, likewise occurs in January. Running for twelve days, it brings in over one million readers, writers, and vendors from around the world. The festival is an initiative of the Kolkata Book Fair, the second largest book fair after the Frankfurt Book Fair. A final place for the literary minded to explore is College Street, where the University of Calcutta and Presidency University are located. The street contains small and large bookstores that features rare books. It is the largest second-hand book market in India and the second largest in the world and contains such places as the famous Indian Coffee House, frequented by influential writers and artists as well as college students.

A Real Short Introduction to Classical Reception Theory

A Real Short Introduction to Classical Reception Theory JAMES TATUM There used to be a large bookstore in New York specializing in books and journals for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered readerships. There I once happened upon a publication that at first glance promised to be a Nostradamus prophecy for future studies in the history of human sexuality. It could also have had important connections with today’s thinking about the literature and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. To understand how all this came about I will need to begin with some bibliography. I make no apology for doing this. Everything has its specialized literature, not least bookstores, and for bookstores properly considered the dominant literary form is not so much the books being sold as the bibliographies that guide booksellers in their selections. Sometimes disdained for being of interest only to narrow specialists or retiring scholars, bibliography can in fact be as exciting and engaging as any poem or novel if the right questions are asked of it. the tale of the floating signifier I never met a language I didn’t like. —Will Rogers how-to-do-it manuals are a popular subject for such emporiums , and this book store in Manhattan dedicated to its LGBT clientele was more ecumenical than most. The full range of human sexuality was well represented, its parade of titles starting with copies of the latest edition of Alex Comfort’s The Joy of Sex. The many recipes about what it is possible to do with female and male bodies had made Joy a arion 22.2 fall 2014 best seller for years. (“Since 1972, more than 8 million people have come to this wise, witty, and uninhibited bestselling guide to lovemaking and found all they wanted to know about achieving greater sexual satisfaction.”) And these were recipes in no figurative sense, but candid how-to-do-it scenarios , each one focusing on every human orifice and useful body part, with detailed advice about the combinations possible for imaginative love-making. The Joy of Sex with its batterie de cuisine was a direct imitation of Irma Rombauer’s 1931 book The Joy of Cooking, probably the most influential and widelyread cookbook in America from the time it was published to the present, its only possible rival being the two volumes of Julia Child and her French colleagues’ Mastering the Art of French Cooking. As in Rombauer’s Joy there was also consoling advice about what to do in emergencies, as when a fallen soufflé is the unforeseen outcome of much preparation. There was also the revised edition of Doctor David Reuben’s 1969 bestseller Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask). It was an important predecessor for Comfort’s Joy, but it was not really a cookbook. Everything You Always Wanted to Know was aimed at readers who might be inhibited, inexperienced, or outraged by every aspect of human sexuality. Reuben’s book is still in print but is now best remembered as the inspiration of Woody Allen’s 1972 film with the same title. Allen concocted a series of mini-dramas inspired by the questions the good doctor had used to organize his book. Reuben imagined his patients and readers seeking answers to such inquiries as “Do Aphrodisiacs Work?” and “What Are Sex Perverts?” An appropriately climactic finale finds Woody and the male members of his cast dressed as cavorting sperm cells, to answer the question “What Happens During Ejaculation?” The most moving episode is the answer to the question, “What is sodomy?” Gene Wilder plays a successful Upper East Side MD who is visited one day by an Armenian shepherd in love with a sheep named “Daisy.” It happened because of all those lonely nights in the mouna real short introduction 76 tains, the shepherd explains. He would like to be cured of this love affair and a cousin in America had told him about the good doctor. Wilder at first resists, but finally sees her and unexpectedly falls for Daisy himself. In an increasingly reckless cycle of clandestine assignations and intimate dinners in elegant New York hotels he finally loses everything for the...

A Study on Intelligent System Design of U-Business Service by Using Ubiquitous Component Technologies

The u-Business service is prevailed trend due to rapid development of telecommunication technology and the growth of ubiquitous computing environments. However, since the majority of u-Business service cases such as home network service, location-based service have not been focused on user requirements, and deduced business services and built systems considering only technical issues, there may be a possibility to be an obstacle for spreading advanced future u-Business services. Therefore, this study investigated user requirements to model the u-Bookstore business service as a killer service of u-Businesses and designed a system for a large bookstore. By exploiting various ways to deduce u-Service's requirements needed in the future-enabled ubiquitous computing business environments and proposing directions to implement them. This study result is anticipated to suggest validity for developing ubiquitous computing technologies, and it is expected to utilize as fundamental data for spreading u-Business.

Direct-Response Bookselling: How it Died, Why it is Alive Again, and Why it will Become Even More Important in the Future

Direct mail, once the engine behind such successful bookselling businesses as Book-of-the-Month Club, Reader’s Digest Condensed Books and Time Life Books, was a major channel for marketing books as recently as 20 years ago. A victim of the growth of large bookstore chains and later of the Internet, direct response bookselling is no longer is regarded as viable. But many of the skill sets developed by direct marketers decades ago are highly relevant for modern book marketing—especially when one considers that the Internet itself is the best direct-marketing channel ever invented. And as eBooks continue to change the structure of publishing, publishers will find themselves under increasing pressure to embrace direct-marketing methodologies and connect directly with their readers, rather than reaching them through book retailers and other intermediaries as they have traditionally done.

Bibliotecas versus librerías de grandes superficies comerciales : usuarios y clientes

This paper deals with the debate that took place in the United States in 1998 regarding the type of libraries that best suited the times. Different critics argued for and against the role of traditional libraries as compared with that of large bookstores. Special attention is paid to the commercial transaction that book loaners effect in some libraries nowadays when they order books and have to pay for the services which they are offered. This new function of libraries whose services are no longer free of charge, is compared in this article to the kind of relationship that is maintained between booksellers and potential buyers of books. Modern libraries tend to offer increasing number of products, often related to new technologies, and the librarian now acts as mediator between these new commodities and their purchasers.
