原文

昨日翻譯譯文參考：

原文

Buddha's doctrine: Man suffers because of his craving to possess and keep forever things which are essentially impermanent... this frustration of the desire to possess is the immediate cause of suffering.

- Alan Watts

原文和譯文解析：

吳杰參考譯文：

佛祖有言：塵世之苦，皆因萬(wàn)物無(wú)常，世人偏想永為己有…… 心心念念，卻難長(zhǎng)久，怎不苦楚。

——艾倫·瓦茨

譯文解析：

Buddha's doctrine: Man suffers because of his craving to possess and keep forever things which are essentially impermanent... this frustration of the desire to possess is the immediate cause of suffering.'

“Buddha's doctrine”是翻譯的開(kāi)局內(nèi)容，所以要考慮用相對(duì)正式（類(lèi)似于“佛陀教義”）還是相對(duì)通俗的表達(dá)（例如“佛祖有云”）。

“Man”當(dāng)然可以翻譯為“人”，不過(guò)少了那么點(diǎn)味道，為了與佛祖區(qū)分開(kāi)來(lái)，不妨翻譯為“世人/塵世間”。

“his craving to possess and keep forever things which are essentially impermanent”中，并應(yīng)為“keep things forever”的語(yǔ)序，為了能讓which修飾things，所以將forever提前。

“Man suffers because of his craving to possess and keep forever things which are essentially impermanent”這句話的翻譯，可以采取順譯，處理為“人世之苦，在于…”；或者倒過(guò)來(lái)翻譯，處理為“正因?yàn)椤匀松谑谰鸵芸?。”?/p>

“this frustration of the desire to possess is the immediate cause of suffering”這句話中，“the immediate cause of suffering”的翻譯同學(xué)們大多處理得比較直，不夠靈活。此處可以考慮用意譯，不用非要把“immediate”翻譯處理，處理成“自然免不了受苦”或者“免不了吃苦”之類(lèi)的。

以上解析僅為個(gè)人意見(jiàn)，難免有謬誤之處，僅供參考！
