| 一、選題的意義及相關研究文獻綜述（選題背景） Significance of this Study The Analects is a master work of quotation in ancient China, containing a rich philosophical idea of Chinese tradition. Therefore, a great number of C-E translations of The Analects sprang up over the past three hundred years since 1691. However, the quality of the translations were various and not desirable for the diversification of translation method. It is necessary to explore a common standard in C-E translation of The Analects. At the meanwhile, a new research perspective in C-E translation about Chinese classics is brought by this study. Research Status The C-E translation research on The Analects has a long history. In the past time, various theories have been adopted into the studies on the translation of The Analects from different perspective. However, the translation research on The Analects adopting linguistic theories just came forth in the past several years, among which the systemic functional linguistics theory is mainly involved. Additionally, the application of EPL to translation studies, including translation studies on news, laws and academic paper, was appeared in the past few years. Although the EPL has been developed for a long time, the Study on C-E Translations of The Analects--From the Perspective of the Language Economy Principle of (LEP) is yet a new topic. | ||||||||
