Purpose Driven Life: Appendix 3

 Appendix 3: Why Use So Many Translations?


  This book contains nearly a thousand quotations from Scripture. I have intentionally varied the Bible translations used for two important reasons. First, no matter how wonderful a translation is, it has limitations. The Bible was originally written using 11,280 Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words, but the typical English translation uses only around 6,000 words. Obviously, nuances and shades of meaning can be missed, so it is always helpful to compare translations.

  Second, and even more important, is the fact that we often miss the full impact of familiar Bible verses, not because of poor translating, but simply because they have become so familiar! We think we know what a verse says because we have read it or heard it so many times. Then when we find it quoted in a book, we skim over it and miss the full meaning. Therefore I have deliberately used paraphrases in order to help you see God’s truth in new, fresh ways. English-speaking people should thank God that we have so many different versions to use for devotional reading.

  Also, since the verse divisions and number were not included in the Bible until 1560 A.D., I haven’t always quoted the entire verse, but rather focused on the phrase that was appropriate. My model for this is Jesus and how he and the apostles quoted the Old Testament. They often just quoted a phrase to make a point.

중국어 문법 핵심 완벽 정리

  중국어 문법 핵심 완벽 정리 중국어 문법은 한국어와 다른 점도 많지만, 명확한 규칙을 가지고 있어 핵심만 잘 파악하면 생각보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있습니다. 중국어 문법의 가장 큰 특징은 ① 어순이 매우 중요하다 는 것과 ② 동사의 형태 변화(시제, 인칭에 따른 변화)가 없다 는 점입니다. 아래에 초급부터 중급까지 가장 중요하고 필수적인 문법 사항들을 체계적으로 정리했습니다. 1. 문장의 기본 구조 (SVO) 중국어의 가장 기본적인 문장 구조는 주어(S) + 술어(V) + 목적어(O) 순서입니다. 이는 영어와 동일하여 상대적으로 이해하기 쉽습니다. 기본형: 我(wǒ) 爱(ài) 你(nǐ)。 뜻: 나는 너를 사랑해. 구조: 주어(我) + 동사(爱) + 목적어(你) 예문: 他(tā) 喝(hē) 咖啡(kāfēi)。(그는 커피를 마신다.) 我们(wǒmen) 学习(xuéxí) 汉语(hànyǔ)。(우리는 중국어를 공부한다.) 2. 주요 품사별 특징 가. 명사 특별한 형태 변화가 없으며, 복수형을 만들 때 주로 **们(men)**을 붙입니다. (단, 모든 명사에 붙이지 않고 사람을 나타내는 인칭대명사나 명사에 주로 사용합니다.) 我(wǒ) → 我们(wǒmen) (나 → 우리) 老师(lǎoshī) → 老师们(lǎoshīmen) (선생님 → 선생님들) 나. 동사 시제나 인칭에 따라 형태가 변하지 않습니다. 시간의 표현은 시간 부사 나 **조사(了, 过 등)**를 통해 나타냅니다. 昨天(zuótiān) 我 去 学校。(어제 나는 학교에 갔다.) 明天(míngtiān) 我 去 学校。(내일 나는 학교에 갈 것이다.) 다. 형용사 형용사가 단독으로 술어 역할을 할 수 있는 것이 특징입니다. 이때 보통 형용사 앞에 부사 **很(hěn)**을 붙여 문장을 자연스럽게 만듭니다. 여기서 很 은 '매우'라는 뜻보다는 문장의 균형을 맞춰주는 역할을 합니다. 她 漂亮 。(X - 어색한 표현) 她 很 漂亮(piàoliang)。(O - 그녀는 예쁘다.) 天气 很 好(hǎo)。...

  30. 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은? Surely one reason that copies have lost their sense of human connection, abundance, and intimate relation is that modern technology has made copying so easy. The methods of copying available to us have never been more powerfully (abundant). This seems true even as a sense of loss has attended our ever more powerful means to (reproduce) what we care about. Walter Benjamin has famously formulated this loss as an "aura": that which is (lost) in mechanical reproduction. The aura of a work of art, he suggests, cannot be copied by mechanical technology. By around 1900, he writes, "technical reproduction had reached a standard that not only permitted it to reproduce all transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public." The (ability) to copy mechanically "substituted a plurality of copies for a unique existence," Benjamin argued. In addition to transforming art and t...

  41~42 다음을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오 Translating a literary text is challenging, and it's often said there will be an inevitable loss in translation. But that challenge frequently inspires creative re-renderings that offer the prospect of a (a) gain in translation as well. A washing machine manual doesn't present the same challenges, nor therefore does it inspire the (b) same creativity either. But where, in terms of the opposition between literary and nonliterary language, might we position philosophy's language? Might philosophy want to avoid a translatory economy that aims for a gain in translation but risks a loss? Philosophy wishes to convey its truths intact, without loss and without gain either, or at least it might (c) hesitate to offer its truths to translation without further clarification of what a gain, and indeed a gain in depth, actually means. It cannot be a matter of offsetting "stylistic losses." The loss philosophy fears is a loss of meaning, the compromisin...

34. 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은? In both the arts and the sciences, an aesthetics of simplicity facilitates the precise communication of messages. Both are also fairly systematic. Although many people believe that art is by definition wild and intuitive, while only science is methodologically disciplined, there is a great deal of evidence including from artists talking about their own practices to suggest that art is often created methodically and systematically, and that frameworks and forms permit creativity to flow. Instead of being liberating, freedom without limits is almost paralysing, because without frameworks we end up in a vacuum in which our actions generate no response. As the Danish poet and filmmaker Jørgen Leth has put it many times, 'the rules of the game are a prerequisite for artistic freedom. They provide a solid form or structure that enables the artist to make use of 'the gifts of chance' (to use Leth's expression), and in which a part of the world can ...

Day1: It All Starts with God

 WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR? A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump;  a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. Proverbs 11:28 (Msg) Blessed are those who trust in the Lord....  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with  roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees  are not bothered by the heat or worried by long  months of drought. Their leaves stay green,  and they go right on producing delicious fruit. Jeremiah 17:7–8 (NLT) It All Starts with God For everything, absolutely everything,  above and below, visible and invisible,... everything got started in him and  finds its purpose in him. Colossians 1:16 (Msg) Unless you assume a God, the question  of life’s purpose is meaningless. Bertrand Russell, atheist   It’s not about you.      The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal  fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far  greater than your fa...

32. One of the factors determining the use of technologies of communication will be the kinds of investments made in equipment and personnel; who makes them, and what they expect in return. There is no guarantee that the investment will necessarily be in forms of communication that _______________________. Because the ownership of investment funds tends to be in the hands of commercial organisations, the modernisation of communications infrastructure only takes place on the basis of potential profitability. Take, for example, the installation of fibre-optic communications cable across the African continent. A number of African nations are involved in the development but its operational structures will be oriented to those who can pay for access. Many states that might wish to use it for education and information may not only find it too expensive but also simply unavailable to them. There can be no doubt that the development has been led by investment opportunity rather than community ...

Day38: Becoming a World-Class Christian

 Becoming a World-Class Christian Jesus said to his followers,  “Go everywhere in the world,  and tell the Good News to everyone.” Mark 16:15 (NCV)  Send us around the world with  the news of your saving power  and your eternal plan for all mankind. Psalm 67:2 (LB)   The Great Commission is your commission.   You have a choice to make. You will be either a world-class Christian or a worldly Christian. Worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal fulfillment. They are saved, but self-centered. They love to attend concerts and enrichment seminars, but you would never find them at a missions conference because they aren’t interested. Their prayers focus on their own needs, blessings, and happiness. It’s a “me-first” faith: How can God make my life more comfortable? They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for his purposes.   In contrast, world-class Christians know they were saved to serve and made for a mission. Th...

  38. 글의 흐름으로 보아, 주어진 문장이 들어가기에 가장 적절한 곳을 고르시오. An alternative view is that we make sense of the sensations we feel and the facial expressions we see only when we attach words to them we develop rather than inherit our emotional concepts. We experience emotions as different bodily sensations, such as a beating heart and sweaty palms; we recognize emotions in others by their facial expressions and behaviour. (1) One prominent idea is that we are born with a fixed set of basic emotions that are universal within our species, notably happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust and anger. (2) Just as we attach the word gravity to our intuitive understanding about how objects move through space, we simply attach words to each of these innate and universal emotions once those words become available, (3) Key evidence is that children are unable to categorise facial expressions as representing different emotions until they have acquired a lexicon of words for emotions, (4) Before having suc...
