Keywords Comparison within Version and Original Edition of Literary Work

摘要

To translate the original edition of a literary work to second language version can be presented by the literal translation, for example the novel, or the meaning translation, for example the poem. The meaning translation may be difficult to compare translated level within the version and the original edition, but the literal translation may be easier. To translate an original edition in English to the Chinese version of a literary work is very popular in the Chinese cultural fields. In this paper, we introduce the key and keyless words finding technique to measure the translated level of the original edition in English to be translated to the Chinese version. The key words finding technique is used to ascertain that both key words are given. In this situation, the marginalia are found on both sides, the original edition in English and the Chinese version of literary work. The keyless words finding technique is used to ascertain that both key words are not given. In this situation, the key words can be found automatically through the word combination step. The conclusions are that we can compare the difference between two languages of a literary work and that we can measure the translated level of a literary work. Our technique can be extended to measure the translated level on two more languages of a literary work. To prove our technique can be used in the practical area, to measure the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" of 'Tales from Shakespeare's completed works", original edition in English and a Chinese version of literary work was selected as our case example.
