摘要
通过对《黄帝内经》中的"神"进行穷尽性分类辨析,归纳出"神"的四大要义:一是哲学层面上自然界的阴阳变化规律(与之对立的是宗教意义上超自然的"鬼神");二是人体生命现象的总概括,即广义神;三是与形、精、气相应的精神层面之神;四是思维层面上的"五藏神",即狭义神。另外,引申出医术出神入化之神和圣人通应神明之神以及"神门"等概念,因此"神"的翻译应视具体含义而定,在遵循统一性和差异性的原则下寻求对等译语,避免译语一概译为"spirit"或交叉混淆等问题。
In Huang Di Nei Jing,a Chinese classic of medicine,the word shen,which originates from the law of Yin and Yang in The Book of Changes,not only refers philosophically to the subtle interaction between Yin and Yang and religiously to the supernatural beyond Yin and Yang,but also medically generalizes human vitality,which is manifested in spirit and mind.In addition to these major meanings,it is used to describe a doctor's miraculous treating level and a sage' s ability to communicate with the law of Yin and Yang,and form some proper names like Shennong and Shenmen.When we translate shen,we need to differentiate between its varieties of meanings,and seek for its English equivalent on the principle of unity and variation,so as to avoid excessive consistency,e.g."spirit",and inconsistency in disregard of the contexts it lies in.
