中华思想文化术语翻译选读:上帝
上帝(shnɡd)
主要含义有二:其一,上古传说中指主宰宇宙万事万物的最高天神。也叫天帝。商周时期,巫是联通人与上帝的媒介,巫通过卜筮向上帝请示,传达上帝的旨意。其二,指帝国或王朝的最高统治者,即帝王、君主,包括远古或死去的帝王、君主,犹言天子。基督教传入中国后,基督教教士又借用上帝一词作为对其所崇奉之神God 的译称。
Supreme Ruler / Ruler of Heaven
The term has two meanings. One is the supreme ruler of the universe, also known as the Ruler of Heaven. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, wizards were the intermediaries between humans and the supreme ruler. They asked for his orders by means of divination and conveyed them to humans. The other meaning is the supreme ruler of an empire or dynasty, that is, the emperor or monarch, including those of remote antiquity and those who had died; each was referred to as Son of Heaven. After Christianity was introduced to China, missionaries used this term as a translation of the word God.
