道可道，非常道。名可名，非常名怎么翻译成英文

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

看了知道的很多翻译感觉译的都不好，甚至逻辑都不通，或者是虽然表达出了意思却不能让外国人很好理解,这里举几位先生的翻译来分享给大家

1.James Legge ：The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao.The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.

这里的tao被翻成路，国人可能难以理解，觉得先生翻译见字不识意，但是我却觉得十分贴切，jesus在西方文化里，也被视作道路，这样翻译非常有助于西方读者理解。

唯有一条路是永恒不变,这条路就是耶稣基督。 耶稣是道路,若不藉着他,没有人能到父那里去。

2.Arthur Waley: The way that can be told is not an unvarying way:The names that can be named are not unvarying names.

3.林语堂：The Tao that can  be can be told og is not absolute Tao.The names can be given are not absoute names.
