Tips for writing your final exam paper: How to indicate your references

• You can use the existing book chapters here as an example.
• Please write the text and indicate ALL SOURCES with bibliographical references. That means: At least for every paragraph, sometimes for single sentences, you have to indicate at the end, where you have found this information. E.g. (Liu Miqing 2010, 17). This means you have found it in the book or paper written by Ms Liu on page 17. And then, you need to add a section at the end called "References". There you write the full version of the reference: Liu Miqing 刘宓庆. (2010). 翻译基础 [Translation Basis]. Shanghai: East China Normal University 华东师范大学. Similarly, you do it for papers: Jin Wenlu 靳文璐. (2019). 机器翻译可以取代人工翻译吗? [Can machine translation replace human translation?]. 智库时代 Think Tank Times (40) 282-284.
• Do not write any references like in one of the sample chapters:

[1] dsalkfkdsa

[2] adsfadsfag

But only the following way:

(Liu Miqing 2010, 17) in the text

and then

References

• Jin Wenlu 靳文璐. (2019). 机器翻译可以取代人工翻译吗? [Can machine translation replace human translation?]. 智库时代 Think Tank Times (40) 282-284.
• Liu Miqing 刘宓庆. (2010). 翻译基础 [Translation Basis]. Shanghai: East China Normal University 华东师范大学.

Also, please avoid using the three apostrophes like ' ' ' (without spaces). Use the equal signs to mark headers and subheaders instead. If your paper topic has two equal signs at the beginning and end of your topic, then use three equal signs for your sub headers. Example (without spaces):

= = Topic = =
< c e n t e r > Student Name, Student no. < / c e n t e r >
= = = Abstract = = =
This chapter is on ....
= = = Key Words = = =
Egg, Hen
= = = 题目 = = =
= = = 摘要 = = =
= = = 关键词 = = =
= = = Introduction = = =
Here starts the normal text of the chapter. Please remember to indicate the source of EACH PARAGRAPH, sometimes even of single sentences. You can indicate it like this. (Woesler 2020, 345) And don't forget to mention the full bibliographical entry beneath under References.
= = = The Egg = = =
Bla, bla, bla
= = = The Hen = = =
Bla, bla, bla
= = = Conclusion = = =
Bla, bla, bla
= = = References = = =

Step by step explanation how you add your final exam paper topic here

For most of the students I have created individual final exam paper webpages. Here is a step-by-step explanation how a student, who wants to add his final exam paper webpage or who wants to change a topic or a group can edit everything by himself or herself:

1. In the browser, open the website http://bou.de/u/.

2. Login to the wiki. A successful login means that you can now see your name on top of the website and on every website of this platform you find an "Edit" index tab.

3. Go to the website you want to edit (https://bou.de/u/wiki/20220112_final_exam).

4. Click on "edit".

5. In the editor, scroll down to the place where you want to add your Name and topic. Add it.

6. Click on "save".

7. Input the password "wikicaptcha" and click on "save" again. Now your name is there on the website.

8. Do the same on the group website where all the contributors to the same topic contribute: e.g. for "The Cultural Turn" click on that link and you get to the group website. There, click on "edit" and add your name as the last chapter on that page. Please do it in the same format (with =Name=) as the name above you. Do not forget to also copy the respective chapter link beneath your name entry (e.g. [ [ Cult_Turn_EN_7 ] ] - of course you do not type the spaces). Now you have your own webpage for writing your final exam paper.

Final exam papers

Final_Exam_Paper_Front_Page.docx

Here my tips after I looked through your drafts:

Most of the papers still miss

1. the names in Pinyin, Hanzi, "Hunan Normal University, China" beneath the title.

2. You also need to add the references including page numbers behind each paragraph.

3. And you need to add the English for the Chinese sources in the "References".

4. At the very end, add something like “Written by - - ~ ~ ~ ~” (without spaces) and the signature then automatically is turned into the real name when you save it.

5. The same is valid for the corrector: the fellow student should write “corrected by - - ~ ~ ~ ~” (without spaces). Of course, the original authors constantly checks the corrections suggested and is responsible for the final form of the chapter/final exam paper. For the original author to check the changes/corrections, please click on the "history" tab on top. You can accept or undo changes there.

我在文章中所举出来的例子会涉及一些人们约定俗成的道德规范，所以我认为您的这个理论是不是表达的是不仅仅只是考虑源文本和目标文本的内容传达，更多的还会去考虑两个文本背后所需要遵循的伦理道德的意思。 可以检查译文可能会不遵循两个entities或者communities之间的伦理道德的关系，最后违背了appropriate theory。 当然我相信人工智能长期来说也会学习道德。 我觉得为了解释appropriateness theory最容易的是用一些已经存在的理论，选择一些例子让读者理解为什么这些理论都有限。 有可能skopos达到了十分，但是翻译还是不对或者不理想。但是用appropriateness theory可以指路怎么提高这个翻译例子的质量。 如果你能找到一些例子，用传统的翻译理论打不到最理想的结果，那我们可以发展自己的Appropriateness Theory想出来一个办法，怎么把这种例子也能翻译的好。 意思就是我们去寻找一些如今还存在着问题亟待解决的译本，然后尝试着用appropriateness theory去解决，而不仅仅只是局限于伦理道德这一个方面。 发展出我们自己的appropriateness theory去提高译文的质量？ 当然appropriateness theory大家都可以做贡献，最后只有一种appropriateness theory，包括你们所提到的解决方法。 所以这个appropriateness theory是一个规模比较大的，它能够修理现在存在翻译理论的一些缺点。 为了找合适的具体的使用例子当然也需要完全懂传统的理论，也要理解它们的限制和缺点。 翻译者一般不按照理论翻译。只是咱们学者用理论。我们只要找一个例子我们觉得翻译的不太好。然后我们看一下按照哪一种传统的理论这个翻译应该还是好的，也没有办法提高质量。比如按照skopos是好的，因为在墓地读者达到跟在原来读者相同的作用。（比如一个假的新闻关于俄国女孩子anna在德国被难民抢劫的在俄国引起反德国的感情，翻译成德文以后在德国也引起从俄国移民到德国的俄国人少数民族的感情。按照appropriateness theory，假的新闻更笨不要翻译成其他语言，引起感情的后果是已经融入德国文化的俄国人开始意识到自己是俄国人，然后他们说他们在德国被压迫并请俄国跟德国打战争。这种例子在美国选举方面也有，在新馆疫情媒体报道方面也有）。然后我们想一想怎么还是可以提高质量（当然这个例子比较敏感，可以加两个词“假的”就提高了质量，但是也会有一些不那么敏感的例子，可以用另外一种方式提高质量）。找到了以后我们就按照这个发展Appropriateness Theory。
