The fundamental field variables are the tetrad fields ei^μ and the gravity is attributed to the torsion. A dilatonic spherically symmetric exact solution of the gravitational field equations characterized by two parameters M and Q is derived. The energy associated with this solution is calculated using the two-dimensional gravitational energy- momentum formula.展开更多

However, because there is no method to obtain the electromagnetic parameters of a metamaterial-absorber integrated layer(composed of a medium layer and a periodic metal array), this theory is seldom used to study the absorption properties of the metamaterial absorber. We propose a symmetry model to achieve an equivalent complex permittivity and permeability model for the integrated layer, which can be combined with the transmission line theory to calculate metamaterial absorption properties. The calculation results derived from both the transmission line theory and the high-frequency structure simulator are in good agreement. This method will be beneficial in practical investigations of the absorption mechanism of a metamaterial absorber.展开更多

Functional Equivalence Theory" , including Dynamic Equivalence and Formal Equivalence two parts, was first put forward by an American translator , Nida, Eugene A. This theory makes it available for readers of translation feel the same way as those of the origi nal. This theory has become the highest standard in Business Letter Translation in consideration of features of business letters, like normaliz ing, pries word, sample pattern, tactful tone, and its different functions like providing information, communicating and so on. However, be cause of the differences between Chinese culture and foreign cultures, there are some situations need special treatments. This paper does some study in the Functional Equivalence Theory and its application in Business Letter Translation. Finally, the paper educe the conclusion as: This theory has feasibility and constructive function in Business Letter Translation. However, this theory should be abounded and im proved ceaselessly in practice, since it still have some shortages.展开更多

Since our government has taken the reform and opening up policy,they attach great importance to the development of the third industry in our country. After more than 30 years of reform and opening- up,the development of tourism industry, also be called the"Smokeless Industry", has been given priority within the booming third industry. There is no doubt that tourism has a bright development prospect. With the rapid development of economy and the deepening of the opening degree, there will be more and more foreigners coming to China for sightseeing. Under this big background, the high quality English introduction of tourist attractions is in great demand. This article is aimed at exploring the practical value of functional equivalence applying to the translation of scenic spots introduction, and provides some feasible solution for tourism translation.展开更多

According to Nida's functional equivalence theory, the target readers should receive the same reaction with the source text readers. So in order to achieve this objective, translators need to make changes of the original text by applying certain translation strategies. This essay will analyze four strategies used in the novel Tuesday with Morrie in light of functional equivalence theory. It is concluded that the strategies are really helpful for the target readers to understand the original text and acquire more knowledge about the source language culture.展开更多

Since English is the universal language, the news of these sports events is mostly reported in English. However,English sports news could bring some reading difficulties for Chinese readers. In the author's view, words are the basic elements of the English sports news language. It is of significance to study English sports news lexis. Under the guidance of Functional Equivalence Theory,this study attempts to explore the lexical features of English sports news and to analyze some useful lexical translation strategies. The results of the study show that Nida's Functional Equivalence Theory is applicable to the lexical translation of English sports news. It is recommended that translators follow Nida's equivalence theory during the translation.展开更多
