一、选题的意义及相关研究文献综述（选题背景）
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.

二、研究的主要内容（研究问题）、预期目标（工作假设）以及可能遇到的困难
Content (Research Questions)
1.      Origin and Development of LEP
2.      Viability of Application of LEP to the Translation of The Analects
3.      The General Principles in Translating The Analects from the Perspective of the LEP
Expected Aims
1.      To Prove the Viability of Application of LEP to the Translation of The Analects by Analyzing the Language Characteristics of The Analects with the Development of LEP
2.      To Demonstrate the Five Principles of LEP reflect the General Principles in Translating The Analects by Case Study
Difficulty Anticipation
1.      The examples in Case Study is limited which may leads to a failure of accuracy of the results

三、拟采用的.理论框架及/或研究方法、步骤
Based on LEP, this study proposes to prove the viability of application of LEP to the translation of The Analects by combining language characteristic analysis of The Analects with the development of LEP introduction, and then goes further to demonstrate that the Five Principles of LEP (Principle of General Equilibrium; Principle of Common Context; Principle of Familiar Topics; Principle of Utmost Utility; Principle of Popularity) reflect the General Principles in Translating The Analects which will be applied to evaluate different translations of The Analects.
