摘要

本文讨论了上帝的概念，重点讨论了上帝在中国和约鲁巴宗教语境中的翻译。在比较上帝的概念时，翻译“上帝”一词是至关重要的。把基督教的上帝翻译成奥洛多玛雷曲解了后者。正如非洲人建议的那样，上帝、奥洛德马雷和其他非洲神应该有合适的翻译。作为一种初步的比较尝试，本文提出了一个介绍上帝给中国人的案例。“神”一词的汉译反映了人们对基督教神与中国神之间关系的不同看法。

Comparing Concepts of God: Translating God in the Chinese and Yoruba Religious Contexts

This article discusses the concept of God with a focus on the translation of God in the Chinese and Yoruba religious contexts. Translating the word God is of the essence when comparing concepts of god(s). The translation of the Christian God as Olodumare misrepresents the latter. As suggested by Africanists, there should be appropriate translations for God, Olodumare, and other African gods. As a preliminary comparative attempt, this article presents a case on the introduction of God to the Chinese people. The translation of God into Chinese reflects different views regarding the correlation between the Christian God and the Chinese gods.
