Travel for Fleeting Hope: An Analysis of Qian Zhongshu's Travel Writing in Fortress Besieged

Famous for its masterful diction, satire, and metaphor, Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged is a sharp, humorous, and sarcastic criticism of Chinese intellectuals at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War. Until recently, scant attention was paid to Qian's travel writing in this novel. Travel is traditionally considered a process of cultural influence, the discovery of the other and the self or, radically, the beginning of conquest. This essay argues that Qian adopts the plot of travel to display a bleak picture of humanity, filled with pretentiousness, hypocrisy, greed, and manipulation, the existence of which is not impacted by race, gender, class, education, or region. For the novel's protagonist Fang Hongjian, his habitual low-esteem and pessimism become more explicit after his several trips from Europe to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Hunan, and from Hunan back to Shanghai. His life consists of besieged fortresses one after another. The journey from here to there gives him temporary space and time for breathing, as well as a false and fleeting hope that he will have better chances in the next stop.

＂He Can't Handle Bodies＂: Subversive Corporeality in Tony Kushner's Angels in America

Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning Angels in America, A Gay Fantasia on National Themes (1992) brings ponderous issues such as homosexuality, religion, politics, homophobia, and identity together in a fascinating and profound clash of warring beliefs, ideologies, fears, and anxiety. However, the plethora of scholarship which the play has inspired on the wars of ideology, be they political, religious, or cultural, has betrayed an unwitting negligence or avoidance in one regard-corporeality, which not only abounds in the play but also insistently makes poignant impressions on the audience. The pervasiveness of corporeality in Angels in America, specifically the AIDS-infected male homosexual body, attests to the centrality of visceral language, imagery, and action in the play. This study delves into the ideological and strategic implications of corporeality in Angels in America and postulates that Kushner politicizes corporeality to strive for equity for homosexual males and AIDS patients and to inspire sympathy and understanding humanity through the AIDS-infected male homosexual grotesquery, illness narratives, and sexual explicitness.

Overall-English-Learning Self-Efficacy, Reading Anxiety, and Reading Proficiency: Take Non-English Major EFL Students as an Example

EFL learners' reading performances can be greatly influenced by affective factors, such as anxiety and self-efficacy. This study investigates the effects of non-English major EFL learners' reading anxiety and overall-English-learning self-efficacy on their reading proficiency. 209 non-English majors participated in the study. Two questionnaires, the Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale and the Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy, and a TOEIC reading subtest were utilized to examine the relationship between the three variables. Open-ended questions at the end of two questionnaires were added to obtain learners' perceptions of overall-English-learning self-efficacy and reading anxiety. Results showed that the relationship between overall-English-learning self-efficacy, reading self-efficacy, and reading proficiency was positive respectively whereas that between overall- English-learning self-efficacy and anxiety was negative, particularly for the students in the middle group. Reading anxiety, however, was not correlated with reading proficiency at different levels. Students had the highest level of reading self-efficacy when comparing to the self-efficacy of other language skills. They mostly experienced reading anxiety when reading unfamiliar vocabulary and sentence structures. To conclude, this study can be of importance in understanding the relationship between the three factors and provide language teachers with non-English major students' sources of reading anxiety. Pedagogical implications are provided for language teachers' future references.

「忙」的語意特徵及認知概念─以語料庫語言學及語意側重為架構之研究

本文基於《COCT書面語語料庫2017》對「忙」的語意特徵及認知概念進行分析。先以單字詞「忙」為單位，分析其語意特徵；再分析「忙得」後方的補語結構，研究「忙」的認知概念。本研究結果顯示「忙」的語意特徵有三類：投注大量心力和時間做某事、在有限的時間抓緊時間做事、表密集繁多，而各類能以不同的語意側重（profile）呈現。「忙」的認知概念類別為：事件狀態、生理表現、情緒。綜合上述兩個類別系統，能發現「忙」的意義具有三個特性：急迫性、消耗性、密集性。
