Acknowledgements
My study at the College of International Language Studies will soon come to an end at the moment when I am finishing writing this thesis. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all those who have offered me invaluable help during the four years at Nanjing Medical University.
At the very first, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dedicated supervisor, Prof. Guo Zhongqing, whose capable guide, detailed and constructive suggestions and encouragement helped me all the time to complete this thesis. His patience and kindness are greatly appreciated. Without his help, my thesis would not have been completed.
I have furthermore to heartily thank all the other faculty members of the College of International Language Studies for their patient instructions in various courses and their precious suggestions for my study here. At the same time, my thankfulness should go to my dear classmates and my friends, who have helped me a lot in my study and life here.
At last, I also owe special thanks to my family—my parents and my brother, who take care of me all the time, for their great encouragement during these four years of my study at Nanjing Medical University.
