Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Bible in Chinese : its history, issues, and relations to modern translation theories -- Verbal aspects in Mandarin Chinese and New Testament Greek -- Translating the Greek perfective, imperfective, and stative aspects in the indicative mood into Mandarin -- The non-indicative moods and conditional clauses -- The passion narrative of Joh n 18-19 -- 1 Corinthians 15 -- Appendices. A chronology of Chinese biblical versions ; Mandarin translation (FOLEY) of John 18-19 ; Mandarin translation (FOLEY) of 1 Corinthians 15.
This study integrates three independent subjects--translation theory, Mandarin aspect, and Greek aspect--for the purpose of formulating a working theory applicable to translating the Bible. The primary objectives are defined in terms of grammatical translation of Greek aspect into Mandarin aspect at the discourse level. A historical overview of the Chinese Bible is provided as a way of introducing major translation issues related to linguistic, conceptual, and logistical challenges. The proposed theory provides the translator with a powerful tool, which is tested in two sample passages from John 18-19 and 1 Corinthians 15. Provided, also, are critical reviews of over sixty Chinese Bible versions, Nestorian, Manichaean, Catholic documents, and a translation written according to the proposed theory.
