1 The Buddha

[复制链接]
发表于 2018-10-25 23:25:13 | 显示全部楼层 |阅读模式

The image of Buddhism’s founder, who lived around 500 B.C.E., and all the ideas associated with that image continue to attract people. The Buddha left no writings of his own, but there is little reason to doubt his historicity—the number of stories and legends surrounding him points overwhelmingly to the presence of a powerful historical figure. There are, in addition, many written references to him; the famous edicts of Asoka were often carved in stone. These references are dated from well after his life, granted, but they nevertheless give strong material support to his influence.

The term Buddhism did not exist in any language until the early 19th century, when scholars coined it in European languages to refer to the newly discovered complex of religious practices centered on the image or memory of the figure called Buddha, the Enlightened One. The word Boudhism was introduced in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1801 and emerged as Buddhism in 1816.(159字)

    佛教概念的发现者是生活在公元前500的人,并且所有有关佛教的观念仍吸引着人们。佛陀并没有留下自己的著作,但是没有什么理由是可以怀疑他的历史性,因为他周围的故事和小说的数量压倒了一个强大的历史性的人物的存在。此外,很多文字中也提到了他;无忧王的著名的法令常常是铁定的。就算这些文字是出现在他过世之后,但他们不过是为了支撑他的影响力给予的素材罢了。

    佛教这个概念在19世纪之前是没有在任何语言中出现过的,而是学者们将它放入欧洲语言用来指纪念开明的佛陀的一种新的复杂的宗教活动。佛教这个词在1801年在牛津词典中被介绍并在1816正式出现。

The image of Buddhism’s founder, who lived around 500 B.C.E., and all the ideas associated with that image continue to attract people.
佛教概念的发现者是生活在公元前500的人,并且所有有关佛教的观念仍吸引着人们。
Founder不是发现者,而是创始人
改为:佛教创始人生活在公元前500年左右,他的形象,以及所有与他相关的理念,都仍然吸引着人们。

The Buddha left no writings of his own, but there is little reason to doubt his historicity—the number of stories and legends surrounding him points overwhelmingly to the presence of a powerful historical figure.
佛陀并没有留下自己的著作,但是没有什么理由是可以怀疑他的历史性,因为他周围的故事和小说的数量压倒了一个强大的历史性的人物的存在。
建议:“是可以怀疑他的历史性”建议删除“是”字,此外historicity不应译为“历史性”,而应为“历史上真正存在过”;此外Points overwhelmingly to也理解错误。
改为:佛陀并没有留下任何著作,但是很难怀疑他的历史真实性,因为数量众多的故事与传说都围绕他而流传,从而极具说服力地指出了这一伟大的历史性人物曾经真的存在过。

There are, in addition, many written references to him; the famous edicts of Asoka were often carved in stone.
此外,很多文字中也提到了他;无忧王的著名的法令常常是铁定的。
建议:carved in stone不是“铁定的”,而是真的刻入了石头。
改为:此外,还有很多与他相关的文字可考;著名的阿育王法敕就常常刻于石上。

These references are dated from well after his life, granted, but they nevertheless give strong material support to his influence.
就算这些文字是出现在他过世之后,但他们不过是为了支撑他的影响力给予的素材罢了。
改为:……但是它们无疑为他的影响力提供了强大的佐证。
The term Buddhism did not exist in any language until the early 19th century, when scholars coined it in European languages to refer to the newly discovered complex of religious practices centered on the image or memory of the figure called Buddha, the Enlightened One.
佛教这个概念在19世纪之前是没有在任何语言中出现过的,而是学者们将它放入欧洲语言用来指纪念开明的佛陀的一种新的复杂的宗教活动。(理解错误)
改为:……在19世纪早期之前……
Coin没有译出,新造词语
Complex不是“复杂的”,而是“错综复杂的组合”
改为:“Buddhism”这个术语在19世纪早期之前并未在任何语言中存在过,是学者们新造的欧洲语言中的一个词,用来指这种新被发现的复杂的宗教活动体系,这一体系的核心是与佛陀,“大彻大悟者”,相关的一切形象或回忆。

The word Boudhism was introduced in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1801 and emerged as Buddhism in 1816.
佛教这个词在1801年在牛津词典中被介绍并在1816正式出现。
改为:1801年,牛津词典中出现了拼写为“Boudhism”以指“佛教”的词汇;1816年,牛津词典改其拼写为“Buddhism”。
