FYI Explanation: Doctor of Letters是Britain and the Commonwealth and The Republic of Ireland以及法国的文学博士学位。 Doctor of Letters (D.Litt., Litt.D., D. Lit., or Lit. D.; Latin Litterarum Doctor or Doctor Litterarum) is an academic degree, a higher doctorate which, in some countries, may be considered to be beyond the Ph.D. and equal to the Doctor of Science (Sc.D. or D.Sc.). It is awarded in many countries by universities and learned bodies in recognition of achievement in the humanities, original contribution to the creative arts or scholarship and other merits. When awarded without an application by the conferee, it is awarded as an honorary degree. Contents [hide] 1 Britain and the Commonwealth and The Republic of Ireland 2 United States 3 France 4 References Britain and the Commonwealth and The Republic of Ireland[edit] In the United Kingdom, Australia, India and the Republic of Ireland, the degree is a higher doctorate, above the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), for example, and is issued on the basis of high achievement in the respective field or a long record of research and publication. The Litt.D. degree is awarded to candidates whose record of published work and research shows conspicuous ability and originality and constitutes a distinguished and sustained achievement. University committee and board approval is required, and candidates must provide documented mastery of a particular area or field. The degree may also be awarded honoris causa to such individuals as the university or the learned body in question deems worthy of this highest academic award. 美国只有一个学校授予这个学位： United States[edit] In the United States, the degree is often an honorary degree conferred on those who have contributed to the humanities or society. There is, however, at least one earned D.Litt. programme at Drew University, where the degree requires 36 graduate credit hours post-Master's and a successfully prepared and defended nine-credit doctoral dissertation (for a total degree requirement of 45 hours) .[6] Doctor of Arts 这是主要在美国颁发的学位，它也翻译为文学博士，但这是一种误译，因为其中的Arts并非文学的意思，而是“行为科学”的意思，可以是颁发给任何学科的学生，包括数学、化学等，见颁发DA学位的学校的如下名单（部分）。 United States[edit] Ball State University Music Carnegie Mellon University Mathematics Eastern University Marriage and Family George Mason University Community College Education Harrison Middleton University Natural Sciences, Philosophy and Religion, Social Science and Imaginative Literature Idaho State University Biology Mathematics Political Science St. John's University English History University of Illinois at Chicago Mathematics University of Miami Mechanical Engineering University of Mississippi Chemistry 美国的文学博士叫作PhD in literature -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-03-20 05:12:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 针对Britain and the Commonwealth and The Republic of Ireland以及法国，应为Doctor of Letters；针对美国，应为PhD in literature 或Doctor of Arts in literature。如果用Doctor of Arts 则必须加上in literature。 比较通用的是用PhD in literature, 保险起见最好用PhD in literature，because it will be acceptable and easy to understand across the world. 我的preference： PhD in literature， then Doctor of Letters。而中国的文学博士和美国的Doctor of Arts从课程设置、培养目标的培养方式上相去甚远，几乎没有相似之处。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-03-20 05:14:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, Doctor of Arts is the last one (the least preferred one) I would use to translate 文学博士 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2017-03-20 13:43:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 根据如下网页，中国的文学博士对应的应该是 Doctor of Philosophy of Literature Doctor of Philosophy To obtain a PhD or a Doctor of Philosophy, an individual has to complete a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in a subject at an accredited university. The individual applies to study and complete the Ph.D. and usually spends about eight to 10 years at university. The Ph.D. is based on the same subject attained in the master's program. To complete the program, the academic must display astute knowledge of a particular discipline and specialize in a particular subject within that discipline. For example, a Doctor of Philosophy of English literature may specialize in American literature. 同一个网页指出：Doctor of Letters A Doctor of Letters is a rare academic title given to established and accomplished scholars and academics. Recipients of the D.Litt have all contributed to knowledge in the humanities, have published scholarly articles and journals, and their original ideas have progressed human understanding in some profound way. 也就是说，Doctor of Letters是一个远远高于中国的文学博士的称号，只颁发给有杰出贡献的学者。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2017-03-20 13:45:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 上述证据引自http://classroom.synonym.com/difference-between-phd-dlitt-77... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2017-03-20 14:58:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Doctor of Arts 人文学博士暂时勉强（非常勉强）地可以接受，但它绝对不是文科博士，因为有很多化学系、数学系的学生获得Doctor of Arts，把他们称为文科博士，于情于理都讲不通。Doctor of Arts 中的Arts实际上更贴近行为科学，但这样翻译，可能很少有人能接受，因为把arts翻译成“文”，快有半个世纪了吧。 |
