大学英语翻译辨证,大学原为礼记中的一篇，相传为曾参（前505前436）所撰，为唐人韩愈、李翱所极力推崇。宋代程颐程颢兄弟对其进行了系统地整理和深入研究，使其初具独立成经的地位。二程说：“大学，孔氏之遗书，而初学入德之门也。于今可见古人为学次第者，独赖此篇之存，而论、孟次之。学者由是而学焉，则庶乎其不差矣。”,朱熹又祖述二程之说，将大学从礼记中分离出来，重加编排补正，撰写提要，详加注解，定名大学章句，使其最终独立成书。不但成书，而且位居“经”列，与中庸、论语、孟子并称为四书，成为儒家经典体系的一个重要组成部分。,自宋代程、朱确立大学经学地位以来，其文句思想广为流传。孙中山赞之曰：“中国政治哲学，谓其为最有系统之学，无论国外任何政治哲学都未见到，都未说出，为中国独有之宝贝。”其所论述之三纲、八目，对于人生之目的以及为达此目的所必须采取的步骤与方法，深入浅出，至精至微，发乎于远古，推及于素行，诚为珍贵。,大学虽尊为四书之首，内容却极为简洁，通篇之有250个子。虽不足于现代诸家明师煌煌大论之一段，然其所阐述之至理大法，穷天地之常道、极六合之明晦，从天子以至庶民，无不以其为本。,大学之道，在明明德，在新民，在止于至善。知止而后有定。定而后能静。静而后能安。安而后能虑，虑而后能得。物有本末，事有终始，知所先后，则近道矣。古之欲明明德于天下者，先治其国。欲治其国者，先齐其家。欲齐其家者，先修其身。欲修其身者，先正其心。欲正其心者，先诚其意。欲诚其意者，先致其知。致知，在格物。物格，而后知至，知至而后意城，意诚而后心正，心正而后身修，身修而后家齐，家齐而后国治，国治而后天下平。自天子以至于庶人，壹是皆以修身为本。其本乱，而未治者，否矣。其所厚者薄，而其所薄者厚，未之有也。,“明明德”、“新民”、“止于至善”为大学之“三纲”。大学认为，人生来就具有高尚的德操，即“明德”，亦即“人之初，性本善”也。入世以后，“明德”逐步为尘欲所泯，故需接受“大学之道”的教育，使之重新发见其“明德”，力行“仁者爱人”之思想，达到尽善尽美的精神境界。“格物”、“致知”、“诚意”、“正心”、“修身”、“齐家”、“治国”、“平天下”为大学之“八目”。在这“八目”中，“格物”、“致知”为探索求知，“诚意”、“正心”、“修身”是精修身心，“齐家”、“治国”、“平天下”为人生之目的。,一下是某出版社出版的大学英译文本，试比较分析其正误。,大学之道，在明明德，在新民，在止于至善。 The Way of the great learning is to rid oneself of self desires and develop further ones inherent virtues.
