I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

　　In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

　　III. Feasibility Analysis

　　This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

　　1.I have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

　　2.I have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

　　3.I have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

　　translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

　　4.I have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

　　5.I have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

　　6.My instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

　　IV. Problems of the research and solutions

　　1. Problems

　　Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

　　2. Solutions

　　(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

　　(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

　　(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

　　V. Necessary conditions

　　1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

　　2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

　　3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.
