The Expression of Female Artists in Intimate Relationships: Marina Abramović’s Expression of Female Emotions in Performance Art.
Close relationships play an important role in meeting people’s needs for emotional support, security and belonging. The theory of interdependence states that individuals unconsciously give in relationships to satisfy their partner’s needs, and that this giving is in line with their inner self-awareness, which in turn increases their satisfaction with the relationship. However, this interdependence may also lead people to unconsciously seek more attention and emotional value from their partners. This article discusses why female artists regard the intimate relationship of their partners as the core of their artistic creation, and think that the intimate relationship is an important part of their lives, reflecting their personal life experiences. Women artists explore these relationships to express their identity, emotions, and social roles. In addition, female artists tend to create through emotional and direct means, and intimate relationships provide them with rich emotional materials, such as love, pain and desire, and other emotional elements, allowing them to tap into the complexity of human emotions. Taking Roman Abramovich as an example, this performance artist, who works from a female perspective, breaks with traditional artistic perceptions by using the body as a medium and combining the experience of emotional life, the mother of performance art in the 20th century. Her work reflects the unique experience and energy of women and the profound influence of intimate relationships in the creation of art.

A study of drama translation from the perspective of feminist translation -- A case study of The Romance of the Western Bower.
The theory of female translation originated from the western feminist movement. This theory regards translation as a political activity, pays more attention to the translator’s subjectivity and creativity in the process of translation, and tries to promote the spread of feminism through translation. This paper explores the specific application and limitations of feminist translation theory in practice through the study of the English translation of The Romance of the Western Bower(a classical Chinese literature written by Wang Shifu). According to comparative studies, female translators are generally more likely than male translators to pay attention to how female roles are portrayed in the target text and to use certain translation techniques to lessen the prejudice against female roles in the source text and attempt to balance out the gender differences. From the perspective of feminist translation theory, this paper also reveals the influence of the social background centered on male discourse power on women’s lives in ancient China.
Poetic Exploration Under the Changes of the Times: Taking Li Bai and Li He as Examples.
In the nearly 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, it is evident that while the poetry from different periods embodies a rich poetic culture, each era possesses unique expressions and artistic styles. Prominent among these are the distinctive styles of Li Bai, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, and Li He, a poet from the Middle Tang Dynasty. This article will compare and analyze the imagery, artistic conception, and writing techniques of two poems by these poets, aiming to explore their divergent artistic styles and uncover the emotional expressions and philosophical thoughts they convey. It will then delve into how these poets reflect the characteristics of their times in their works and how they respond to the changes of their eras through their own creations. Additionally, the article will focus on analyzing the historical contexts of the two poets and discuss how these contexts influenced their creative ideas and modes of expression. By discussing these differences, the article reveals the diversity inherent in the development of Tang Dynasty poetry, as well as the interplay between the shifts of the times and the creative output of poets.

The Disparity in Expenditure on Compulsory Education Between Urban and Rural Areas.
As an important component of State financial expenditure, education expenditure is of great significance in upgrading national quality and promoting social equity. However, even though China has launched a series of policies to promote the balanced development of compulsory education, there is still a significant urban-rural gap in China’s compulsory education expenditure, which not only affects the development of rural education but also exacerbates the inequality between urban and rural areas. This paper analyses the current situation of the urbanrural gap in education expenditure, and concludes that the causes of the unequal situation are the difference in fiscal expenditure, the difference in education expenditure, the unequal allocation of resources, the difference in teacher strength, and the difference in the development of the economic level; it also puts forward the following countermeasures to improve the situation: improving the education infrastructure, perfecting the education policy and management system, and promoting the cooperation between home and school and the participation of the society; to provide references to the promotion of education fairness.
The Effect of First Language on Spoken English Accents.
This paper presents the effects of first language (L1) on the spoken English accents of non-native speakers. This paper analysed spoken English of native speakers from Spanish, French and Chinese through a review of past literature, focusing on phonological features, intonation patterns and overall intelligibility. The findings demonstrate that speakers’ L1 has a major impact on how they pronounce English and that they maintain unique phonological traits in their spoken language. Furthermore, the accent was further impacted by dialectal differences within the L1 group, which resulted in unique intonation patterns that impacted listeners’ assessments of intelligibility and fluency. These results highlight the intricate relationship between second language learning and the native language system, indicating that teachers should take L1 influence into account when creating lesson plans for English language learners. This study contributes to understanding accent formation and provides insights into language teaching and assessment practices.

Research on the Influencing Factors and Mobilization Strategies of Higher Education Students’ Learning Motivation from the Perspective of Teachers.
This study explored the key factors that affect student’s learning motivation and how teachers mobilize students’ motivation in higher education. Based on the dilemma of students passively accepting knowledge in the traditional indoctrination education model, this study analyzed the impact of internal and external motivation factors on students’ academic performance through a combination of literature review and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that students’ learning motivation is affected by intrinsic interest, external incentives (such as grades, and scholarships), and teachers’ teaching strategies. Teachers play an important role in mobilizing students’ motivation and can enhance students’ motivation through goal setting, timely feedback, and flexible curriculum design. However, teachers face challenges such as resource constraints and insufficient personalized teaching in practice. This study suggests that teachers adopt diversified strategies such as cooperative learning and competitive teaching to balance internal and external incentive mechanisms cultivate students’ autonomous learning abilities and provide a reference for future educational practice.

English Translation Studies: Chinese Literary Works.
This paper examines the two most prevalent strategies employed in the English translation of Chinese literary works. First, the effectiveness of literal translation is examined, with a focus on how well it renders legal documents, historical accounts, textbooks, and religious texts. Since accuracy and faithfulness to the source text are crucial in these kinds of works, the use of literal translation in these situations is justified. Second, it is examined that when the cultural content and context of the source text need to be successfully communicated, free or idiomatic translation may be an essential tactic. When translating literary works, where imagination is crucial, this method is invaluable.Furthermore, this study explores the cross-cultural difficulties that arise when translating between Chinese and English, paying particular attention to idioms, which frequently present serious translation challenges. The study also investigates the translation of seminal works such as Water Margin, Journey to the West, and others, alongside Botev’s Translation, to illustrate how adept translation can reconcile the linguistic and cultural differences between the source and target texts. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into translation processes is examined, along with the associated possibilities and challenges. By examining these translation strategies and their applications, this study aims to contribute to the field of translation studies and enhance the appreciation and understanding of Chinese literary works in English-speaking contexts.

Additionally, educators encounter difficulties developing educational materials and teaching strategies appropriate for students with ASD. Furthermore, the review highlights effective interventions such as the use of visual teaching tools, vocabulary acquisition techniques, reading comprehension strategies, and parent collaboration. Consequently, Students with ASD can benefit significantly from ESL learning when educators recognize and address their unique needs, allowing them to develop language skills while balancing their cognitive and sensory needs.
Comparison Between Vocational Education in China and Germany.
The issue of VET (technical and vocational education and training) in China has recently become the subject of considerable attention, yet there remain shortcomings in the manner of its development. This paper examines the distinctions between technical training in China and Germany about the legal framework, social and cultural context, and the structure of the vocational education system. It finds that both countries emphasise the equal status of vocational and general education. Regarding social background, the lack of attention to vocational workers in China’s Confucian culture affects the enrolment in vocational education and the job status of graduates. The German cultural background and the cultural advantages of German industrial culture provide a more favourable social environment for vocational education. In terms of the education system, the Chinese vocational education system is mainly dominated by vocational schools, with enterprises contributing less to vocational education. In Germany, however, vocational education is shared by government departments and enterprises, with schoolenterprise cooperation being relatively close. In light of the aforementioned analysis, this paper proposes the suggestions as follows: at the legal level, the vocational education law in China should be further amended to provide more robust protection for the interests of VET apprentices; at the social and cultural level, China should place greater emphasis on the social status of Vocational education. In the matter of the education system, China’s vocational education group should facilitate greater involvement of industry associations and local enterprises in vocational education.

A Comparison of Educational Equality and Equity in Gaokao and Admission System between China and the United States.
This article focuses on the issues of educational equality and equity as reflected in the Chinese Gaoako and the American college admissions system. China and the United States use completely different strategies in selecting students for higher education. Gaokao, a unified national standardized test, is the name of the college entrance exam in China. A student’s eligibility to enroll in college is determined by their test result. The admissions process in the United States is more comprehensive, taking into account a student’s extracurricular activities, personal statements, and scores on standardized tests. To guarantee fair entrance, the Gaokao gives pupils a single set of test questions and answers; the admissions process takes into account the socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds of various students in order to address the issue of equality. However, both countries face the challenge of whether they can truly achieve educational equity due to socioeconomic inequality and unequal access to educational resources. By comparing the two systems, this article explores some similarities and differences in the challenges faced by the two countries.

Translator’s Centrality and Ideology in Chinese-English Bilingual News: A Case Study of Texts from the China Daily Website.
Since the outbreak of pandemic, news has been gaining increasing interest in translation studies due to its wide reach and clear ideology implications. According to the Multi-dimensional Integration Principle of Eco-translatology, in order to ultimately accomplish the goals of “svival” and “longevity,” translators must take into account the adaptation choices of the translation within language, cultural, and communicative ecosystems in addition to being true to the original text and accommodating the reader. The translator becomes the focal point of the procedure as a result. This study examined the centrality of translators and their ideological reflections in news translation from three aspects of the integration principle using bilingual news texts from People’s Daily, China’s official media outlet, over the previous three years. This study will deepen the understanding of Translation Ecology applications, systematically grasp China’s image, stance and direction in international opinion, and enhance translators’ skills and international competence in external communications.

The Irony of Exaggerated Language in Zhang Tianyi’s Novels from Mr Warwick.
In the process of the development of modern Chinese literature, satire has gradually become an important literary form in the modern literary world under Lu Xun’s physical force and active advocacy. After Lu Xun, a large number of writers with strong satirical style emerged successively, of which Zhang Tianyi is a typical representative. Zhang Tianyi successively created a number of satirical literary works and formed his unique creative style. Different from Lu Xun’s traditional dark satirical writing style, as well as the satirical techniques of writers such as Lao She, Qian Zhongshu and Shading, Zhang Tianyi’s satirical style is more sharp and spicy, and he mostly uses a kind of exaggerated irony. This kind of irony is not only shown in the characters and plots he portrayed, but also in the language and words. Mr Warwick, as a representative work of Zhang Tianyi, uses irony to portray a typical image of a reactionary bureaucratic party clerk of the Kuomintang, exposing all the ugliness of the Kuomintang’s reactionary bureaucrats and dignitaries in their passive resistance to the war. Mr Hua Wei has become a typical image of satirical works in the history of modern Chinese literature. This paper takes Zhang Tianyi’s Mr Huawei as a sample, and studies and analyses the language style of Zhang Tianyi’s works, especially the satirical language style, in depth and specifically.
