【摘要】：being一词是名词,由动词演变而来。在其动词用法中,最主要的乃是系词。因此,being一词字面上就有系词含义。中文"是"乃是系词,而"存在"不是系词,因此应该用"是"来翻译being及相关概念,这样做符合对西方哲学的理解。在关于being的哲学讨论中,始终有一个翻译和解释的问题。翻译being这个词与解释它的含义是两回事,其翻译原则体现在:being的中译名应该体现该词的字面意义;该译名应该在关于being的讨论中贯彻始终,并且能够贯彻始终。只有"是"一词可以满足这两条。就西方哲学汉译本身而言,确实有一个如何使中文明白易懂即符合母语语感的问题。该问题涉及翻译的自身特点,包括一些翻译的技巧。笔者认为我们中国人有足够的能力用汉语来表达和把握有关being的问题,关键在于突破尚有欠缺的知识结构,超越固有的狭隘眼界,从而最终更好地理解西方哲学。
[Abstract]:The word "being" is a noun, a verb evolved. In the verb, the most important is the copula. Therefore, the word "being" literally have meaning. "Chinese copula" is a copula, and "existence" is not a copula, and therefore should be used "as is" to translate being and related concepts to do with, on the western philosophy understanding. In the discussion of being's philosophy, there is always a translation and interpretation of the problem. The translation of the word being and explain its meaning is different, the translation principles embodied in: being translation should reflect the literal meaning of words; the translation should be in the discussion being in consistently, and can carry out. Only the word "is" to meet the two. The Chinese translation of the western philosophy itself, does have a Chinese that is consistent with how to make intelligible language sense. This problem involves the translation of its own characteristics, including a I think our Chinese have enough ability to express and grasp the problem of being in Chinese. The key is to break through the lack of knowledge structure and surpass the inherent narrow vision so as to finally better understand western philosophy.
