? Her bedroom haunted me with its silence,its
unaccustomed tidiness,with the odd souvenirs
from a childhood that was now history.

think I was a militarist at a time when virulent
antimilitarism was de rigueur.

Key points:
analyze sentence structures
understand references
What is reference
? There are certain items in every language which have the
property of reference,i.e,instead of being interpreted
semantically in their own right,they make reference to
something else for their interpretation,In English these
items are personals,demonstratives,and comparatives.
These items are directives indicating that information is to
be retrieved from elsewhere.
? Reference
? [situational] [textual]
? Exophora(外） endophora（内）
? [to preceding text] [to following text]
? Anaphora（前） cataphora（后）
Some examples
?--(What are you talking about?)
?--We are talking about the old man,(ex)
?Lily is a student,She is twelve,(前）
?Leaving all his money,the old man left,(后 )
The function of reference (cohesion)
?If you find what they refer to in the text,you
can understand the text better,(cohesion)
?Some examples:
?Textbook,P47-49,1,2,3
?Practice:
?Textbook,P32,paragraph 7
? P32,paragraph 10
? P33,paragraph 12
How should we deal with them in translation?
?To keep it (exp,3)
?To change it into the exact name or,自己, (exp 1)
?To omit it (exp,1)
?To change its place in a sentence (to special
sentence pattern)
? Since its founding some 360 years ago,
Harvard has nurtured a great number of
outstanding statesmen,scientists,writers and
businessmen.
? In the prolonged course of its development,
China has formed its fine historical and cultural
traditions.
