摘要

本文调查了OT/希伯来文圣经中埃塞俄比亚的命名背景以及εὐμῦχις，以及使徒行传8:26-40中对“埃塞俄比亚人”的称呼。切入点是阿达莫教授自己的简短章节。比亚当的短文更进一步，这一论点试图确立埃塞俄比亚官员的王室背景，并对翻译中使用“太监”一词提出质疑，因为它往往会歪曲官员的身份。

Revisiting Translation and Interpretation Issues in the Story of the African Royal Official ("Ethiopian Eunuch") in Acts 8:26-40: The Hebrew Bible (LXX) Background

This article investigates the OT/Hebrew Bible background of both the designation Ethiopia and the translation and interpretation of εὐνοῦχος, and designation of "Ethiopian" in Acts 8:26-40. The jumping point is Prof Adamo's own brief chapter that engages the issue. Going further than Adam's brief article does, the argument seeks to establish the royal background of the Ethiopian official and challenges the use of the term 'eunuch' in translation, as it tends to misrepresent the identity of the official.
