“A city upon a hill", 山巅之城:举世瞩目之下,言为人师,行为世范。这是美国政治家心中的美国。

"A city upon a hill": 源自圣经马太福音五章十四节,耶稣说:“你们是世上的光。城造在山上,是不能隐藏的。”“A city upon a hill", 山巅之城:举世瞩目之下,言为人师,行为世范。这是美国政治家心中的美国。1630年,英国律师,清教徒 John Winthrop,率领1000多在英国受迫害的清教徒乘船前往新大陆,期望并坚信在大西洋的另一边找到自己的“应许之地”。他们到达波士顿,还没下船,他就告诫大家:“We must always consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill—the eyes of all people are upon us.”。早期移民美国的清教徒整体受教育程度很高,不少牛津,剑桥(大多数)毕业的。六年后,1636年就创立了哈佛大学。美国精神跟清教徒精神一脉相承,包括开拓,进取,创新,勤奋,节俭,诚实守信,回馈社会的意识,和维护正义的勇气等等。此后的美国政治家经常援引John Winthrop上面那句话,愿意相信美国是 God's country, "a city upon a hill"。 比如肯尼迪总统1961年说:“Today the eyes of all people are truly upon us—and our governments, in every branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a city upon a hill — constructed and inhabited by men aware of their great trust and their great responsibilities.”

Great Awakening

1720年至1740年代期间在英国殖民时期的北美洲兴起的宗教奋兴运动。

原为欧洲大陆虔敬主义或寂静主义以及英格兰福音派运动的一部分,17世纪末至18世纪初在卫斯理(J. Wesley)等牧师的领导之下席卷西欧。北美洲的大觉醒运动是新教徒对抗宗教上形式主义和理性主义的福音运动,带有强烈的加尔文派。奋兴布道家强调罪人恐惧惩罚和希望从神处得到未获得的恩典的需要。怀特菲尔德(G. Whitefield, 1714~1770)是最受欢迎的牧师,1739~1740年在整个殖民地向广大群众布道。爱德华兹(J. Edwards)协助启发了大觉醒运动,也是最重要的神学家。对印第安人传教及学院的设立(包括普林斯顿大学),都是大觉醒运动带来的结果。1790年代在新英格兰和肯塔基兴起另一个奋兴运动,称为第二次大觉醒。

所谓“布道”是宗教的专用名词,指在正式的宗教仪式上宣传教义的行为。但在宗教传播的过程中,有时也指宗教徒向非宗教信仰的人宣传教义的过程。


Day2  Logical  lines & 神句神词组

笃学奖--Topic7--B19207--甘比精读

【神句翻译】结合笃师讲解

1.In a society without universal rules, many yearn for a new or reconstituted moral order.

在一个缺乏普遍规则的社会中,许多人渴望着一个新的或是新建的道德秩序。

在缺乏普遍规章的社会,许多人渴望道德秩序焕然一新或得以重建。

形容词变动词~

2.A state without virtue can not flourish; a person without virtue can not succeed.

国无德不兴,人无德不立。

国无德不兴,人无德不立

习大大提出,琅琅上口,不妨记下来,万一口译时候能用上呢?!~

注意当中的分号,用于连接两个关系紧密的句子。这是唯一一个可以衔接两个句子成为松散句的标点符号。

3.Aware of the political implications of a society lacking virtue, Mr Xi has launched a campaign of national renewal based on revitalising China’s traditional values and melding them to the Communist Party.

习总书记意识到社会缺乏美德将在政治上带来的影响,在全国范围内发起了一场运动,目的是复兴中国传统文化价值观,并将它们融入共产党。

习主席深知社会道德缺失所带来的政治影响,于是发起了一场弘扬中国传统价值观的全国复兴运动,并将此精神融入中国共产党内。

Launch a campaign已经至少第三次粗现了,表和我缩不眼熟哦~

Implication: a possible effect or result of an action or a decision,可能的影响,作用,结果。

也是至少第二次出现~~可替换influence,用词多样化!~

implication更多用于描述某事件或决策带来的后续影响:

例如The development of the site will have implications for the surrounding countryside.

They fail to consider the wider implications of their actions.

4.The party wants believers’morality without their activism but is finding that the two are inseparable, especially for Christians.

政党希望建立其信众的道德观,摒弃激进主义,但却发现这二者是不可分割的,尤其是对于基督徒而言。

执政党希望信徒遵守道德的同时,却不希望他们表现出激进的一面。然而现在发现二者难以割离,基督教徒尤为如此。

5.The sermons of Wang Yi, a house church pastor in the city of Chengdu, epitomise the changes taking place across the country, perhaps because he presents a clear vision of the future that is neither the party narrative nor just a reversion to the past.

Wang Yi,成都的一位教会牧师,也许正是因为他提出了一个对未来的清晰设想,体现全国各地所发生的变化;这个设想既不是党单方面的愿景也不仅仅是对过去的回归。

Wang yi是成都的一位家庭教会牧师,也许因为他清晰的描绘了中国宗教未来的景象,他的布道可以说是集中体现了中国在这一方面正在经历的变化:未来的宗教格局既不会遵照中国共产党的舆论发展,也不会纯粹恢复过去的模式。

“A city upon a hill", 山巅之城:举世瞩目之下,言为人师,行为世范。这是美国政治家心中的美国。

1630年,英国律师,清教徒 John Winthrop,率领1000多在英国受迫害的清教徒乘船前往新大陆,期望并坚信在大西洋的另一边找到自己的“应许之地”。他们到达波士顿,还没下船,他就告诫大家:“We must always consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill—the eyes of all people are upon us.”。早期移民美国的清教徒整体受教育程度很高,不少牛津,剑桥(大多数)毕业的。六年后,1636年就创立了哈佛大学。美国精神跟清教徒精神一脉相承,包括开拓,进取,创新,勤奋,节俭,诚实守信,回馈社会的意识,和维护正义的勇气等等。

此后的美国政治家经常援引John Winthrop上面那句话,愿意相信美国是 God's country, "a city upon a hill"。 比如肯尼迪总统1961年说:“Today the eyes of all people are truly upon us—and our governments, in every branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a city upon a hill — constructed and inhabited by men aware of their great trust and their great responsibilities.”


Day3  Feelings about  it

「个人理解」面对当今社会价值观的缺失,道德沦丧,习主席意识到问题的严重并着手想要复兴中华民族传统美德,开展自上而下的道德运动,增强社会价值观。可是这个过程中势必也会存在一些阻碍,如外来宗教信仰的冲击,道德的缺失一定程度上可能会影响政治层面。作者最后指出,信仰也要与时俱进,只有找到最适合本国的才能更好发展

「笃师」本文遵循“过去-现在-将来”进行叙述,并辅以例证。中国历来政教合一,传统信仰于无形中支撑整个社会体系。Communist Party执政以后,一度视传统宗教为社会进步的绊脚石,并予以摒弃,导致社会道德缺失,腐败横生。当前中国表现出来的繁荣景象背后,是大量迷失的灵魂寻求救赎,于是各种宗教信仰再次兴起。在这一背景下,为了避免道德缺失可能带来的政治影响,我们的习大大逐渐意识到传统文化和信仰的作用,并开启了一场自上而下的道德宣传运动。而作者则认为自下而上的宗教信仰热潮更能实现道德重塑的目的。最后,借一位家庭牧师之口,作者描绘了未来可能的景象:传统信仰也会进化调整以适应现代社会的需求,各种宗教各得其所,好似耶路撒冷圣城。

就我个人而言对于本篇文章一些看法还是不太同意的,中华传统文化博大精深,外来人或者文化固然是无法理解它的全部内涵,人要有信仰是对的,可是不能一概而论,我个人认为中国传统意义上的信仰更多的是根深蒂固中国文化,主体包括儒道等思想。比如中国“和”,“仁”思想,也因为你骨子里有“和”“中庸”等思想影响,便不会像其他信徒一样过于刻意的回避异教的膜拜方式,这方面中国潜意识信仰反而更有包容性。至于宗教与道德约束两者是肯定有关系的,只是程度的差别。       有人说过“宗教之间没有融合只有竞争”,不由得既庆幸又担忧,庆幸儒道没有被“宗教”二字固化,这样才更有包容性自由性强。担忧则是,若它与其他宗教必然是竞争关系,那么它的文化地位和影响力也摇摇可危,竞争力还是比较弱的,毕竟文化间竞争也是残酷的战争。        儒家道家等不上是真正的宗教,但没有宗教不代表没有信仰,如今中国人性格行为里依然是被儒道等所影响。        其实科学和宗教并不完全对立,有时反而是两个独立的事物,一个是追求真理,一个是精神寄托。我们不信教,但是我们有信仰,而且这信仰更具包容性,更自由,更温和。


Difficulties solved

①进行理解过程中,这句话不是很理解,He believes the West, by focusing on the politics and economics of China, is missing the massive cultural shift of hundreds of millions of Chinese people turning to religious faith for answers.

为什么说西方失去中国人转向宗教信仰的文化转型,这两者之间存在各种联系。经过笃师耐心讲解此句"其实就是指出西方国家只重视中国的政治经济,却忽略了文化上的巨大转变~~",瞬间恍然大悟~

②同样困住我的middle  kingdom"中原之国"

感谢群里各位的分享
