This page originally only contained the Chinese text. Now the English translation is added. Therefore the page gets too long and may exceed the database space for each webpage one day. In order to avoid this, the text now is split into 5 sections. You can jump directly to the sections here:
- Lingnag_EN with discussion table / list of terms
- Lingnan_EN_1
- Lingnan_EN_2
- Lingnan_EN_3
- Lingnan_EN_4
discussion table / list of terms
…for a consistent translation of: - names of places, people etc - titles of literary, historical works - technical terms - quotes - idioms, figures of speech
(Please record here recurring words with the respective translation, your name, date and comments, if there are any. You may also suggest and discuss changes.)
FAQ: What is a "List of terms"?
A: In the list of terms on top of the page, people need to mention how they translate terms of the text which occur often.
It means if a student decides, to translate the Shujing with “Book of documents” then he should write it into the list of terms so that all the other translators can use the same translation. If terms which are translated often are translated differently each time, simply because it was a different translator, then the reader gets confused.
You do not have to use the table, if it is too complicated for you. You can directly write the terms here in alphabetical order like:
- 诗经 Book of Songs
- ...
- ...
