course  coherence  and  logical expression.  Xu  (2012)  applies  metacognition  theory  in  business  English  writing. Results  show  that  metacognitive  knowledge  learning  helps  students  increase  their emotional  experience of  writing  and  has positive effects on overcoming shortages like lack of genre awareness, business knowledge. Zhou and Yang (2015) combine the  teaching  of  translation  (C-E)  competence  with  the  development  of  second language  writing  ability  from  the  perspective  of  translational writing theory. They find  that  second  language  writing  is  similar  to  translation  (C-E),  and  second language writing contains implicit translation behaviors which contribute to second language writing.

2.2 Studies on Memetics 
Since the term “meme” firstly appears in Richard Dawkins’s book The Selfish Gene in 1976, memetics begins to attract more and more attention. Many scholars start to study this theory and apply it in different fields both abroad and at home. Richard Dawkins is the first scholar who puts forward the term “meme” in his book The Selfish Gene and after that people realize that the biological theory can be transplanted into the social science area. Dawkins (1976: 206) thinks that “there is something similar to genes in the human society and culture, which can replicate and transmit  culture.  Memes  transmit  themselves  by  leaping  from  brain  to  brain  by  a process  which  can  be  called  imitation”.  So  memes  are  actually  replicators.  A replicator can be anything of which copies are made. Humans are hosts who carry the replicators. That is to say, everything that is passed from person to person in this way is a meme (Dawkins, 1976).  Dawkins is the founder of memetics and many other scholars study this theory from different perspectives later. Dennett (1991) believes that the carrier of memes could be either an image or idea that exists in human’s mind or an object itself. For example, a wheel is a meme. The wheel itself can be used as a sample to be imitated. On the other hand, people can create their own wheels in according with the image of  their  own  minds.  Dennett  (1991)  studies  memetics  from  the  perspective  of information  replication.  He  argues  that  the  process  of  information  replication  is actually  the  process  of  information  acquisition.  And  there  are  close  relationships between  information replication  and  language acquisition.
