英文版论文答辩稿[精选五篇]第一篇：英文版论文答辩稿1.What is the main function of color words? Generally speaking, colour terms have all the functions which words have.In source language, the author always uses the colour terms to express the image of the text.This is the first function of colour terms, that is, informative function.For example, the colour terms used in the follow text form the landscape of an autumn evening.“The ground was a carpet of deep reddish brown in the glow of an autumn evening sun, tempered by the trees.Yong birches sprang up, caught light on one side, and were sparkling green there;the shadowy sides of the stems were warm, deep black-green.Behind the saplings, behind the brownish red soil was a very delicate sky, bluish grey, warm, hardly blue, all a glow.Against it were a hazy border of green and a net work of little stems and yellowish leaves.A few figures of wood gathers were wandering around like dark masses of mysterious shadow.”[6]The second function of colour terms is emotive function.It is accepted that different colours give people different feelings.Experiences show that colour terms are the best way to describe one’s emotion.An example is quoted below.“Then the morning clouds in the east turned deep red and sky above showed blue, the red clouds were pierced by golden rays, interweaving to spin a majestic, glittering web in the southeastern sky with the clouds as weft, the rays as warp.Fields, trees and wild grass changed their colors from dark green to bright emerald” [7].Could you talk about the influential factors of color words connotation? Historical culture refers to theculture that is formed by the developing process of certainty history and social heritage which varied between nations at often times.As we all know, the weather of England is always warm and the wool, spinning industry has developed rapidly in England from early time．Thereby，English people often use sheep or wool as analogue．Colors have been used to stand for political groups or social status from ancient times.The national psychology is like a dark underground drifting，surging in a national awareness of the rock，in the nation to flow through the veins.Chinese and western People’s psychologieal factor s also have kinds of differences[17].Western people say black tea,Chinese say”tea”.Why the same tea is described a different color?British people focus on the color of tea,calling it“black”, while Chinese people are not focusing on the color of tea In western，color is given different religious connotation and meaning．In the middle ages，the painting in churches also use some designated colors．In Christianity, color symbolism is primarily used in liturgical decorations(banners，vestments，etc．)and to a lesser degree in Christian art[18]．Black is symbolic of death，and is therefore the liturgical color for Good Friday．Black can also represent sin，which results in death．Blue，the color of the sky,is symbolic of heaven．It may also be used to symbolize truth．Green is considered to be the finest color in Muslim culture.Yellow symbolizes the wisdom of Buddhism in China，and so many monks wear yellow Sengy2.Take an example for the same color word with different connotations There are various non-correspondences in color words between Chinese and Western cultures.This phonomenon which has a totally reversal difference appears mainly in theentirely different use of color words in each language.For example, As for referential meaning, “black” and “红” are totally different.Ho wever, the term “black tea” in English and term “红茶” in Chinese stand for the same thing.Moreover, “black coffee” does not mean that the coffee is black, but means “the coffee without milk”.Therefore, “black tea” is translated into “不加牛奶的咖啡” in Chinese.sim ilar examples are “brown suger” and “红糖”,”white money” and “银币”,”black bamboo” and “紫竹”,”green eye” and “眼红”,”red copper” and “紫铜”.In Chinese culture, the color of red is popular for special events, holidays and ceremonials.In ancient times, when people got married, the bride always dressed in red, and wore “Hongtouga(红头盖)”.The bridegroom always tied a red ribbon and wore a red flower in the front.And almost everything in the wedding had something to do with red color.Neolithic hunter considered red to be the most important color endowed with life—giving powers and placed red ochre into graves of their deceased.Neolithic cave painters ascribed magic power to the red color.It can be stipulated that they painted animals in red ochre or iron oxide to conjure their fertility.It is usually believed in China that red can against evil influence.Nevertheless, to Westerners, “red” is usually related to danger, war, blood, terror and sensuality;Red also has the commendatory connotation in Western culture besides the da ngerous sign and meaning.For example, “red-blooded”, it means a brave person who has the big courage;“a red letter day”, firstly, it is just a habit in the church to use the red letter to circle the festivals.But now, it is used in any festival which is wo rthy of remembering and any joyous festival;“red ribbon Bath”, it is the French glory bandage which is in red;“red-cross”, it is the national bandage of Britain.Red is often used to describe people’s favoritepeople or things by Westerners.poetry of fine works.3.Can you talk about the influential factors of color words?Historical culture refers to the culture that is formed by the developing process of certainty history and social heritage which varied between nations at often times.As we all know, the weather of England is always warm and the wool, spinning industry has developed rapidly in England from early time．Colors have been used to stand for political groups or social status from ancient times.The national psychology is like a dark underground drifting，surging in a national awareness of the rock，in the nation to flow through the veins.Chinese and western People’s psychological factors also have kinds of differences.In western，color is given different religious connotation and meaning．In the middle ages，the painting in churches also use some designated colors．1.What is the main function of color words?2.Take an example for the same color word with different connotations3.Can you talk about the influential factors of color words?答辩稿Language is the carrier and reflection of culture.By the contrastive study of cultural connotations of color words between English and Chinese, we can know more about what is going on in people’s mind, in their language and culture.In addition, it is expected that this thesis may throw light on the use of color terms in intercultural communication, English language teaching and learning, and translation.Color terms are closely linked with culture.As a part of language, they are endowed withabundant cultural connotations.In addition, color terms’ lexical meaning and symbolic meaning reflect various cultures and cultural backgrounds.Therefore, a full understanding of color terms and their functions in the cultural transfer is essential in language education, translation and even cross-cultural communication.Color is a part of our life.Color words help us to understand the world around, like our sense of taste and smell.Words and phrases of different colors are abundant in both Chinese and English languages.Through long-term development of languages, the meanings of color words in each language have far surpass their original ones, as a result, originating a connotation in cultures.Due to the factors vary between Chinese and Western countries, such as national and historical bac kground, traditional and habits peoples’ experience and aesthetic psychology of culture, the connotation of culture that reflected by the color words vary in a large extent.The connotation of color words is not only an essential means to cross-cultural communication, but also an important bridge, through which different cultures have the ability to carry forward their achievements and learn from each other.The previous scholars have studied the connotation of color words from different sides.Most of them concentrated on the symbolic meaning of the colors.For example, American anthropologist Verne F.Ray proposed that every color system aimed at putting the color word into order so as to simplify human’s perception of color, and further to make the action feedback, especially the speech feedback and communication more effective[1].This these pays attention to deeper connotation of different colors, which take the cultural backgrounds, traditions and habits, life experience etc.into consideration.Now let’s move on to themain part of the thesis ,as to chapter 1 ,I introduce the simple information of color words, Color words don’t necessarily mean the same thing as colorful words, color terms are words which simply show different colors.Color words have their functions such as informative function and emotive function.Color words reflect the different cultural connotations in different languages ,the symbolic meanings of color words have different features in different cultural Chapter 2 is the most important part of the thesis ,It is talk about the comparative study of Chinese and English color words.Different nations have different cultures and take the different colors as special.As a part of vocabulary ,color words have different connotation in different lauguages,It is certain that color is related to history.Next are the influential factors of color words connotation, Historical culture refers to the culture that is formed by the developing process of certainty history and social heritage which varied between nations at often times.Otherwise ,the factors of polit, psychology and religion also have an effect on the development of color words connotation.The thesis, aiming at improving color terms understanding and promoting cross-cultural communication, tries to explore the culture connotation of color terms at different cultural backgrounds through the methods of making a careful analysis of the lexical meaning and symbolic meaning of color terms.All in all, from the analysis and comparasion above, it can be concluded that there are abundant cultural connotations in the color words between Chinese and English languages,w hich show both similarities and differences as a result of cultural differences, in this way will we make less mistakes in the process of using them, and improve our accuracy , flexibility in the use of language.第二篇：英文论文答辩开场白英文论文答辩开场白Opening Speech（一）Good morning，Distinguished professors and teachers, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the oral defense.(或Welcome to attend the oral

is On Transformation of Parts of Speech in Translation.I choose this as my topic due to the followingreasons.Different languages have different standards to distinguish parts of speech.Each language has its own special structure.And there are no equivalent parts of speech between different languages.In order to make the target version more idiomatic and standard, the transformation of parts of speech is always used by translators.So the transformation of parts of speech is playing a more important role in English to Chinese based on different characteristics of English and Chinese.For the above facts, I select the subject of“On Transfo rmation of parts of speech”as the title of my paper.I hope by studying this topic we can know the importance of the transformation of parts of speech in English to Chinese translation.Through transformation, we can get the better version and improve the translation skills.The way of thinking and expressing is quite different between Chinese and English.English is a kind of static languages which tends to use more nouns.While Chinese is a dynamic one in which verbs are often used.So when we make translation in English to Chinese, we should know this point and shift the parts of speech.Next, it is an outline of my paper.In the main part of this paper, I divide it into five parts.Part one presents an introduction to the basic concepts of parts of speech and transformation.Part two discusses the definition of translation and emphasizes the importance of transformation of parts of speech in the course of translation.Part three gives four basic ways of transformation of parts of speech through illustrative examples.There are transformed English words into Chinese verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs.Part four presents some problems about transformation and gives some advise to solve the problems.Part five draws some conclusions that transformation between parts of speech is necessary for us toachieve good translation.It is demonstrated that we can have a good master of transformation and improve the translation.In addition, we must continuously study and explore in all kinds of translation practices.OK!That is all.Thank you!Please ask questions.（三）Good evening, all the appraiser committee members.I come from HUST, majoring in foreign linguistics and applied linguistics.I am *** and my supervisor is

of them.In the middle schools, high schools and even universities, there is no lack of network novels' addicts.For the above facts, I select the subject of “on the network novels” as the title of my paper.Then, I will show it to you.In the main part of this paper, I divide it into four parts, as the concept of network novels, the classification of their authors, the development of network novels and the prospects of that.The first part, the definition.Its concept can be divided into the generalized and the narrow.And it can also be divided into boys’ and girls’ in another way.The second part, the classification of their authors.Generally speaking, there are four kinds of authors.Thefirst kind is some people who have favor of literature, they are writing but not for fame.Then, there is some one has favor for literature and also be for fame.The third kind is some people who have explicit goals at the beginning of his writing.And the last kind are some people who just want to express their

strive for(were also not aware of)the fame and fortune, and moreover received the control of tradition.The second stage is beginning of 21st century, mainly contains 2001 and 2002.In this period, the whole network presented the situation of “chaos”.The third stage is from May, 2003 and continues until now.In this period, many schools come into the world, and when a school became a hit there must be many people mimic it.The last part, the forecast.Looking from the internal strength pattern, the outstanding writers in our country mainly hold one kind of critique and the pessimistic manner to the network novels at present.If each big literature website enlarges their own supervision, delete the vulgar works, the pornography and bad works like those things, meanwhile hanker for new person’s new article as well as depth ones, the network novels can be accepted by more people.Not a low-level novel but a kind of enjoyment.第三篇：论文答辩相关问题英文1.Presentation: twice as long as your abstract2.Why did
