bet365 ohio promo code

Liang Shuming once discussed the three major relationships between humans: the relationship between humans and bet365 ohio promo code、Interpersonal relationships,As well as relationships with others。Since ancient times,The relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code is one of the three important relationships that humans have to deal with。But before the modern ecological crisis broke out,Because the conflict between the two has not intensified,Therefore it did not attract enough attention from people。From a diachronic perspective,The development of human civilization is to gradually understand bet365 ohio promo code、The process of transforming bet365 ohio promo code and constructing bet365 ohio promo code。Due to geographical location、Philosophical Tradition、Fundamental differences in economic models and other aspects,The construction of the relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code in Chinese and Western traditions is also completely different。Generally believed,What is dominant in China is "the unity of bet365 ohio promo code and man",Advocating the harmonious coexistence between man and bet365 ohio promo code,Advocates reverence for bet365 ohio promo code、Follow bet365 ohio promo code。The West is divided into two parts: heaven and man,Adhere to the binary opposition between humans and bet365 ohio promo code,Advocates the conquest of bet365 ohio promo code、Transforming bet365 ohio promo code。

  The Western bet365 ohio promo code is rooted in binary oppositional thinking

1960s,The modern ecological crisis in the West first broke out in the United States,Later gradually spread to all over the world。1967,American historian Lynn White pointedly pointed out in his classic article "The Historical Roots of the Ecological Crisis": The root of the ecological crisis lies in the anthropocentrism advocated by modern science and also following the Christian tradition,The essence is to regard bet365 ohio promo code as a resource and tool for human use。Therefore,We cannot rely solely on technology to solve the ecological crisis,We cannot continue to follow the construction model of man and bet365 ohio promo code dominated by binary opposition thinking,But need to "find a new religion,Or rethink the old religion”。White’s article caused widespread and lively discussion,The relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code is the core issue under discussion。

The idea of ​​duality is the direct cause of the Western concept of "dividing heaven and man",Already appeared in ancient Greece,Continued in the Christian tradition,At the time of Descartes,It has become the dominant concept in the construction of the relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code,"Man conquers bet365 ohio promo code" (I. G. Simmons)’s thoughts have been legalized。The mechanistic view of bet365 ohio promo code in modern science and the dichotomous thinking mode of subject and object jointly promote the establishment of anthropocentrism,And paved the way for the development of industrial civilization,It also laid the groundwork for the coming ecological crisis。

  “Unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code” attracts Western attention

"Unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code" is the core concept in traditional Chinese dealing with the relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code。Dutch Sinologist J. J. M. de Groot coined the word "universism" in 1918,Specially used to refer to the interdependence between Eastern people and bet365 ohio promo code、Complementary relationship,Believe that humans and bet365 ohio promo code form a continuum,Instead of the Western binary opposition。American Fenollosa (1853-1908) compared Chinese and Western philosophy,Believe that there is no concept of harmony between man and bet365 ohio promo code in Western tradition,“But in China,This kind of thinking has existed almost since the beginning of mankind。I Ching Philosophy,Further strengthened by Confucius,Believe that everything in the natural world is in harmony,Man and bet365 ohio promo code live together in harmony,Because both are governed by God”。

The idea of ​​"unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code" has attracted widespread attention in the West,After the rise of the modern environmental movement in the West in the 1960s。Represented by White,Many ecological researchers in the West have begun to reflect on Western culture,And trying to find inspiration to heal the modern ecological crisis from Eastern traditions。From this,As Wang Zhengping said,“There is a clear tendency to return to ‘Eastern ecological wisdom’。Among them,The traditional Chinese thought of "harmony between man and bet365 ohio promo code" is a philosophical proposition with unique and profound ideological connotations,The modern ecological ethical value it has,That is, to maintain the balance of the entire ecological system in which modern humans live,The practical moral significance of coordinating the relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code,Is receiving more and more attention from people”。Houston Smith、Alan Watts、Capra、Joseph Needham、Gary Snyder、Bill Dwyer and George Sessions both spoke highly of the Eastern organic view of bet365 ohio promo code。Initiated by the Center for the Study of World Religions at Yale University,A number of essay collections and monographs have been published one after another。Since the 1980s and 1990s,Attention to the traditional ecological wisdom of the East has gradually become a trend in the West。

  Interpreting "Unity of Man and bet365 ohio promo code" cannot misinterpret its ideological core

German sinologist Bu Songshan in his article "The Enlightenment of Traditional Chinese Culture to the Modern World - Starting from the "Unity of Man and bet365 ohio promo code"",Fully affirmed the positive significance of the idea of ​​​​the unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code embodied in "Unity of Man and bet365 ohio promo code" in solving the modern ecological crisis。The non-dual oppositional thinking embodied in "Unity of Man and bet365 ohio promo code" is the dominant model for constructing the relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code in ancient China,Human beings are an integral part of bet365 ohio promo code,And together they form a whole,This kind of non-anthropocentric thinking is in sharp contrast to the subject-object dichotomy dominated by the Western binary opposition thinking mode。How to reflect the essential difference when translating,This is something the translator needs to pay attention to。

"Chinese Ideological and Cultural Terminology Dissemination Project" approved by the State Council in 2014,Aimed to provide authoritative translations of Chinese ideological and cultural terms,But in its published corpus,"Heaven and Man Are United as One" is still translated as Heaven and Man Are United as One。Although in the explanation of its connotation,Emphasis on "the world view and way of thinking that are connected between heaven, earth and man",But Heaven is still regarded as the equivalent of "天"。Swiss scholar Ralph Weber pointed out: “It is necessary to translate terms with Chinese characteristics such as ‘harmony between man and bet365 ohio promo code’ for non-Chinese target language readers,One of the difficulties is how to avoid distorting the original meaning,Do not transplant it arbitrarily into a completely different cultural context。The translation of ‘天’ is particularly troublesome,The usual translation of it as ‘Heaven’ has been criticized。"The famous contemporary Sinologist Anlezhe has a penetrating explanation of the essential difference between "Heaven" and "Heaven": "The God in the Bible,often used to refer to ‘heaven’,Created the world,But heaven in classical Chinese is the world... Since heaven is the world, what is it,It is also how the world was formed...Heaven is both the creator and the existence of all things。There is no clear line between the order itself and the creators of the order”。“Heaven” in Christian doctrine is considered superior to the actual physical world,A typical concept of binary opposition,“Heaven” in traditional Chinese culture is a typical non-dualistic concept。Tang Yijie thinks,The meaning of "Heaven" can be summarized into at least three types: the Lord's Heaven (with personality and divine meaning)、The natural sky (with natural meaning)、The Heaven of Righteousness (with transcendent meaning、Morality)。“Heaven” is the material world,He is also the supreme master of the material world,So it is obviously inappropriate to translate "天" in traditional Chinese thought into Heaven。“Heaven” is not the bet365 ohio promo code (material world) described by Darwin。bet365 ohio promo code purely refers to the material world,Reflects the typical idea of ​​separation of subject and object,And "Heaven" does not distinguish between the spiritual and material world。Because of this,Anlezhe when translating "The Analects",Select the transliteration Tian,Because he believed that "Heaven" evoked images derived from the Judeo-Christian tradition,The translation as “bet365 ohio promo code” is not accurate either。

  Prioritize foreignization bet365 ohio promo code

In view of the fundamental differences in the traditional construction of the relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code between China and the West,This difference is closely related to the incommensurability between Chinese and Western philosophy。Therefore,The fundamental difference between "the unity of bet365 ohio promo code and man" and "the two divisions of bet365 ohio promo code and man" should be reflected in translation,This difference is exactly the modern value and world significance of “unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code”。Therefore,You might as well learn from Anlezhe,Translate "天" into "Tian",“Heaven and man are one” is transliterated as “Tianrenheyi”,The rationale for such foreignization translation is: first,Sufficient conditions for transliteration are met。As mentioned before,The discussion and exploration of the ecological value of "harmony between man and bet365 ohio promo code" began with modern Western ecological researchers,The West has a clearer understanding of its unique ecological connotation,And with the increasing number of Chinese learners around the world driven by Confucius Institutes,Western readers’ acceptance of Chinese Pinyin is gradually increasing,It is completely feasible to use transliteration。Second,Transliteration can highlight the value of ecological terms with unique Chinese characteristics。Third,Use the unified translation name of transliteration to standardize the various translations of "Unity of Heaven and Man",More convenient for its spread。Fourth,Conforming to the principle of historical reference,Such as other traditional Chinese cultural concepts Yin、Yang、Tao etc. have become familiar terms to British and American readers。

Of course,For the average Western reader,Maybe you will feel a little uncomfortable when you start to accept this kind of foreignized translation,We might as well use annotations to explain,For specific reference, we can refer to the translation of Du Weiming, a representative figure in New Confucianism。Du Weiming believes that the idea of ​​"unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code" can be expressed in anthropocosmic terms,Considering that humans are included in the universe,With Western anthropocentricity,That is, the idea of ​​alienation between human beings and bet365 ohio promo code is completely different。His translation was fully affirmed by two professors, Tucker and Bai Shilang of Yale University,The worldview that believes that "the unity of heaven and man" (anthropocosmic) "is based on God、The seamless connection between humans and the natural world is typical”,Can provide a new perspective to solve the global environmental crisis。

The relationship between man and bet365 ohio promo code is ultimately a social construction。To solve the modern ecological crisis,We must abandon the dichotomy of subject and object based on binary oppositional thinking,Use a non-dualistic way of thinking to reconstruct the harmony between man and bet365 ohio promo code。The modern ecological value of "unity of man and bet365 ohio promo code" is reflected in its non-dualistic perspective,That is, the inseparability of the material world and the spiritual world、The inseparability of bet365 ohio promo code and humans。In traditional translation practice,In order to facilitate the target language readers to accept our culture,It is inevitable that we will be too accommodating to target language readers,Often use their familiar target language to replace the core concepts in our traditional culture,But the disadvantage of this is that it completely erases our own cultural characteristics。Our translation should highlight the advantages of traditional Chinese culture,To promote the effective "going out" of Chinese culture。
