SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Crossing Rivers\, Crossing Minds: How Yu Became “Metaphor/Analogy” in Early China" by Prof. Zhou Boqun\, The University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nAlthough sinologists have long debated the existence of metaphor in ancient China\, the word often regarded as the classical Chinese equivalent of “metaphor/analogy\,” yu 喻\, has received relatively little scholarly attention. This lecture offers a new account of the semantic development of yu\, drawing on recent paleographic studies of the etymology of yu 俞. In oracle bone inscriptions\, yu originally denoted “traveling along a river in a boat” or “crossing a river.” This core meaning later differentiated into words within the same phonetic series expressing physical and abstract forms of “carrying over”: in the physical domain\, yu 逾/踰 “to cross over” and shu 輸\, “to transport”; in the abstract domain\, yu 喻/諭 “to convey\, to communicate.” In Warring States texts\, yu 喻/諭 is almost always glossed as “to tell” (gao 告) or “to understand” (xiao 曉) and only rarely as “analogy\, comparison” (bi 比)\, reflecting the communicative process at both sender and receiver ends. It gradually acquired the sense of “analogy” or “metaphor” because Warring States thinkers relied heavily on these devices or vehicles to convey their ideas. Building on this historical-semantic analysis\, the lecture further compares yu with the Aristotelian notion of “metaphor\,” noting that both involve a form of “transfer\,” though of different kinds: in yu\, an idea moves from one mind to another\, whereas in metaphor\, a word shifts from its ordinary to an extraordinary context. \n  \nBio \nZhou Boqun is an Assistant Professor in the School of Chinese at The University of Hong Kong. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. Before joining the School of Chinese\, he taught at the Institute for World Literatures and Cultures at Tsinghua University as a member of the Tsinghua-Michigan Society of Fellows. His research focuses on the intellectual history of early China\, the history of science and technology\, and excavated texts. In recent years\, he has examined mechanical and optical metaphors and analogies in philosophical writings. His work has appeared in Early China\, Ziran Kexueshi Yanjiu (Studies in the History of Natural Science)\, Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy\, Philosophy East and West\, and Monumenta Serica. He has also published English translations and studies of several of the Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts.

SUMMARY:FAH - DENG Guest Lecture: "Exploring AI-Enhanced Translation in Book Translation"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn book translation\, particularly the translation of popular science works\, AI large language models serve as powerful tools for translators\, systematically elevating translation quality. Traditional translation often faces numerous challenges: from ensuring cultural and scientific accuracy\, to handling the simplification of the original author’s logical chains\, to navigating cross-cultural contextual shifts\, all of which can lead to information distortion. Inexperienced translators often struggle to address these issues. AI large language models\, however\, are not merely pre-translation tools; they also function as versatile research assistants\, scientific editors\, and cultural consultants. They can rapidly provide background knowledge\, correct factual errors in source texts\, analyze the trade-offs of cross-cultural translation\, optimize linguistic expression\, eliminate translationese\, and help translators reconstruct logic and bridge information gaps. Skillful use of AI will profoundly transform translation work\, enhance efficiency\, and elevate translated texts to new heights of accuracy\, fluency\, and cultural adaptability. \nBiography: \nXu Bin is a Professor at the School of Foreign Languages\, Shandong Normal University. He holds several prominent leadership roles within the academic community\, serving as a Member of the Standing Council of the World Interpreter and Translator Training Association (WITTA) and the Director of the Translation Technology Committee of the Shandong Translators Association. \nWith a career deeply rooted in translation practice\, pedagogy\, and research\, Professor Xu has made significant contributions to the field. He has published over 70 translated works\, totaling more than 15 million words. In addition to his extensive translation portfolio\, he has authored several influential academic monographs\, including A Guide to Computer-Aided Research Paper Writing and New Horizons in Translation. His research findings have been featured in more than 30 papers published in prestigious academic journals both in China and abroad. \nProfessor Xu has led and completed one National Social Science Fund Project: Construction of a Parallel Corpus of Sinology Literature and History Works and its Role in the External Translation of Chinese Culture (15BYY093). He also participated in and completed the 2016 National Social Science Fund Project: Research on the Evolution of Guo Moruo’s Translated Works and Corpus Construction (16BWW018); and the major project of the Guo Moruo Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences: Compilation and Editing of the Complete Works of Guo Moruo (Translation Volumes). Most recently\, he was awarded a grant to lead a 2025 Chinese Academic Translation Project.
