Chinese text in addition to English ones.Zhu Yongsheng(1995;1996;1997) brought forward his own opinions about thedevelopment and perfection of Discourse Cohesion theory and put forth theconditions of discourse coherence.Zhang Delu (1992; 1993; 1994) had a study on the conditions of textualcoherence from the perspectives of context, information, cognitive model andcohesion. Later, he (1999; 2000) discussed the scope of the cohesion and itsrelationship with textual coherence. In Zhang’s studies, he advanced his own opinionsincluding the following aspects:1. Cross-type cohesive devices;2. Exophora;3. Implicit;4. Plural.Based on the Cohesion Theory of Holliday and Hasan, in 2001, Zhu Yongxing,Zheng Lixin and Miao Xingwei published a book named A Constrictive Study ofCohesion in English and Chinese. It contains ten chapters: Introduction, Reference,Substitution, Ellipsis, Conjunction, Reiteration, Synonymy, Hyponymy andCollocation, etc. The authors mainly lay their attention on the grammatical and lexicaldevices. In order to point out the differences of cohesive devices between the Chineseand English texts, they analyzed a vast amount of data and tried to find the reasonsthat cause the differences from the perspective of linguistic and the cultural systems.This book is valuable to the English teaching and translation activities as well ascontrastive study.

 

1.3 Choice of Texts
According to many Chinese scholars’ studies on the Cohesive Theory, the authorfound that they prefer to choose a Chinese text and an English version, for example, aDream in Red Mansions (Zhang Yun, 2010). Then it is meaningful to study an Englishwork simultaneously with its Chinese translation, which is what the author did in thispaper.The author chooses Hemingway’s most popular work, The Old and the Sea,which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953, and in 1954 Hemingway won theNobel Prize in Literature “for his powerful, style-forming mastery of the art ofnarration.” Hemingway, One of the most important influences on the development ofthe short story and novel in American fiction, has seized the imagination of theAmerican public like no other twentieth-century author.In China, there are many people who have translated The Old Man and the Sea,for instance, Zhang Ailing, Yu Guanzhong, Hai Guan, etc. In this paper, the authorchooses Hai Guan’s translation. Hai Guan, born in 1908, is a literary translatorwho translated a lot of works in his life, such as Crime and Punishment written byFyodor Dostoev Sky, The Winds of War by Herman Wouk, and so on. In 1979, HaiGuan translated Ernest Miller Hemingway’s famous work The Old Man and the Sea.Besides, The Old Man and the Sea has long been studied by many scholars, whoemployed different perspectives, such as that of translator style (Xiang Rong, 2011),and of heroism (Song Jing, 2006), but it is rarely studied from the perspective oftextual cohesion. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the study of The Old Man andthe Sea from this new perspective.

 

1.4 Research Purposes
In this paper, the author takes Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea and HaiGuan’s Chinese translation as an analysis data to explain the following aspects:1. Find out the differences and relationship between the five cohesive devices.2. Count the quantity of the five cohesive devices in The Old Man and the Seaand its Chinese translation. On the basis of the result, the author will try本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
