神学翻译杂谈

偶然在群里看到有熟悉的朋友打出一个广告,某事工寻找资深译者和校对。广告很详细,对应聘者是否有神的呼召,水平,工作量等等都有要求。然后给出了一个psmail的邮箱,说有意者可以发简历过去,然后经过试译通过,再商议酬金问题。 ...

坚固的服侍——第六章:回放神的呼召

我三十六岁的时候, 我的儿子们站在青春期的悬崖边上。我能看到六年之后——当我的大儿子进入大学时, 他们会以光速离家而去。到那时如何为他们提供大学的学费,成为一个困扰我的难题。依靠在圣经学校的薪水,我恐怕无法兑现帮他们出一半学费的承诺。我妻子的兼职工作可以帮助我们平衡日常收支,但要存下一大笔钱似乎不太可能。 ...

Rest with some good feedback on work

For many years we struggled with Chinese translations of our courses. We just weren’t able to make any significant progress. God’s timing is often difficult to understand, but obviously you came to us at just the right time. ...

坚固的服侍:第4章——无网的门徒

Original 2017-05-19 Dr. Terry Powell 轻轨战舰之EddyEmma何谓“无网的基督徒”? Dave从神学院毕业之后,立刻筹到足够的支持,与妻子Jeannie带着三个年幼的儿子,去了数千英里之外的宣教地。他们家再也没有爷爷奶奶可以宠爱几个孩子了。他们也再也无法给亲密的朋友短信,约好在PaneraBread喝咖啡了。如果家里缺点食物,也无法立刻去附近的Kroger采购了。他们顺服基督呼召前去福音未得之地的兴奋,被失去同伴和改变了熟悉的日常生活所大大冲淡。 ...

彼得后书的注释翻译

最近的一个项目,作者是一位已经过世的神学家。他的注释引用的其他神学家就更老了,英语难得不成人形。 例如这句话,来自120年前的 J. R. Lumby, “The Second Epistle General of Peter,” in The Speaker’s Commentary: New Testament, ed. F. C. Cook (1881), 4:247. ...

长句

When we discover an epistle which has the dignity and originality and high ethical character of 2 Peter, in which are no anachronisms that the most searching investigation can discover, and in which are found no absurd miracles or foolish legends or heretical teaching contrary to the spirit and character of Peter, but in which there are touches that remind one of the fiery apostle described in the Acts and the Gospels, and in the very body of which there are claims of Petrine authorship, and which commended itself in the course of years to the general body of Christians when tested in the crucible of experience, then it is a fair conclusion that we have here a genuine message of the Apostle-Preacher Peter, and the world of the twentieth century can profit greatly by heeding his threefold message. ...
