|

|
||||
## C. Word Choice
|
||||
|
||||
### C1. Line 31 — "Cherish life or face death"
|
||||
|
||||
CN: 重生还是重死 = "focus on/value life or focus on/value death". "Face death" implies confronting death, not weighing it heavily. Consider: "Focus on life or on death."
|
||||
|
||||
### C2. Line 742 — Spelling
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Chan adobe
|
||||
+ Chan abode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### C3. Line 820 — "cynicism" for 厌世
|
||||
|
||||
CN: 厌世 = world-weariness / pessimism toward life. "Cynicism" (犬儒主义) has different connotations in English.
|
||||
|
||||
### C4. "ordination" vs "renunciation" for 出家
|
||||
|
||||
Mixed usage throughout. Lines 226, 229, 235, 814, 817 use "ordination" (correct). Other sections use "renunciation." Standardize to "ordination."
|
||||
|
||||
### C5. Line 988 — Terminology inconsistency
|
||||
|
||||
"Twelvefold Dependent Arising" here vs "Twelve Links of Dependent Origination" elsewhere (line 886 etc.). Standardize.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## D. Chapter Numbering
|
||||
|
||||
### D1. Line 844 — Wrong Roman numeral
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- VI. To Love or Not to Love?
|
||||
+ VII. To Love or Not to Love?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### D2. Line 994 — Chapter mismatch
|
||||
|
||||
CN: 九、结束语. EN: VIII. Conclusion. Should be IX.

## E. PDF Typeset vs DOCX Manuscript — Substantive Differences
|
||||
|
||||
The typeset PDF (二排) contains editorial changes not in the DOCX manuscript.
|
||||
These are documented for reference; which version is authoritative must be decided.
|
||||
|
||||
### E1. "ordination" → "renunciation" (×3)
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "ordination" / "Ordination" / "True ordination"
|
||||
PDF: "renunciation" / "Renunciation" / "True renunciation"
|
||||
CN: 出家. Standard translation is "ordination."
|
||||
|
||||
### E2. "arising, abiding, emptying" → "forming, existing, vanishing"
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "arising, abiding, decaying, and emptying"
|
||||
PDF: "forming, existing, decaying, and vanishing"
|
||||
CN: 成住坏空. Both are non-standard; standard is "formation, existence, decay, emptiness."
|
||||
|
||||
### E3. "Arising," → "Origination,"
|
||||
|
||||
Context: "Arising, abiding, changing, and ceasing" → "Origination, abiding, changing, and ceasing"
|
||||
|
||||
### E4. "Attitude" → "Attitudes" (×3 in title)
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "The Life Attitude of Buddhists" in some places
|
||||
PDF: "The Life Attitudes of Buddhists" throughout
|
||||
|
||||
### E5. "renouncing the world" → "pessimistic toward life"
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "view Buddhism as renouncing the world"
|
||||
PDF: "view it as pessimistic toward life"
|
||||
CN: 厌世
|
||||
|
||||
### E6. "cynicism" → "pessimism toward life"
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "while cynicism is passive and negative"
|
||||
PDF: "while pessimism toward life is passive and negative"
|
||||
CN: 厌世
|
||||
|
||||
### E7. "being aimless" → "who feel"
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "young people being aimless, hopeless"
|
||||
PDF: "young people who feel aimless and hopeless"
|
||||
CN: 没有目标
|
||||
|
||||
### E8. "suffice. Its" → "be enough. That relief loses its"
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "no amount of temporary relief will suffice. Its effectiveness diminishes"
|
||||
PDF: "no amount of temporary relief will be enough. That relief loses its effectiveness"
|
||||
Full sentence rewritten.
|
||||
|
||||
### E9. "it—our" → "suffering—our"
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX: "the root causes of it—our inner delusion"
|
||||

|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### E12. Chapter numbering shifts
|
||||
|
||||
DOCX uses "1.", "2.", etc. PDF uses "I", "II", etc. The DOCX uses "VIII" for chapter 8 while PDF shifts numbering (chapter 9 = "VIII" in PDF).
|
||||
|
||||
### E13. Quote borders shifted
|
||||
|
||||
PDF adds quotation marks around several words that DOCX leaves unquoted (e.g. "now", "this", "moment", "pure", "wealth").
|
||||
PDF adds a comma: "sutra" → "sutra," and "moment" → "moment,".
