Traditions of the Tinguian: a Study in Philippine Folk-Lore — Page 3
Under the circumstances it has seemed best to defer the attempt and to call attention in the footnotes to striking similarities with other fields.
Dans ces circonstances, il a semblé préférable de différer cette tentative et d'attirer l'attention dans les notes de bas de page sur les similitudes frappantes avec d'autres domaines.
In the main these tales are so closely associated with the religious beliefs of the present day that it is unlikely they will be found, in anything approaching their present form, outside the districts dominated by this tribe.
Dans l'ensemble, ces récits sont si étroitement associés aux croyances religieuses d'aujourd'hui qu'il est peu probable qu'on les trouve, sous une forme approchant leur forme actuelle, en dehors des districts dominés par cette tribu.
Nevertheless, isolated incidents corresponding to those of neighboring peoples or even of distant lands occur several times.
Néanmoins, des incidents isolés correspondant à ceux des peuples voisins ou même de terres lointaines se produisent à plusieurs reprises.
Observation has led me to the belief that the religious organization and ceremonies of the Tinguian have reached a higher development than is found among the neighboring tribes, and that this complexity decreases as we penetrate toward the interior or to the south.
L'observation m'a amené à croire que l'organisation religieuse et les cérémonies des Tinguian ont atteint un développement plus élevé que celui que l'on trouve parmi les tribus voisines, et que cette complexité diminue à mesure que l'on pénètre vers l'intérieur ou vers le sud.
If this be true, it seems evident that the tales based on or associated with them must likewise grow weaker as we go from Abra.
Si cela est vrai, il semble évident que les récits basés sur eux ou associés à eux doivent également s'affaiblir à mesure que l'on s'éloigne d'Abra.
I wish here to acknowledge my indebtedness to Dr. Franz Boas and Dr. Berthold Laufer, whose interest and suggestions have been of greatest value in the preparation of the material for publication;
Je souhaite ici reconnaître ma dette envers le Dr Franz Boas et le Dr Berthold Laufer, dont l'intérêt et les suggestions ont été d'une très grande valeur dans la préparation du matériel pour la publication ;
also to express my gratitude to the late Robert F. Cummings, under whose liberal endowment the field work was carried on.
ainsi qu'à exprimer ma gratitude au regretté Robert F. Cummings, grâce à la généreuse dotation duquel le travail de terrain a été mené.
His constant interest made possible the gathering of the extensive Philippine collections now in the Museum, and it is a matter of deep regret that he did not live to see all the results of his generosity made available to the reading public.
Son intérêt constant a rendu possible la constitution des vastes collections philippines aujourd'hui au Musée, et c'est avec un profond regret qu'il n'a pas vécu pour voir tous les résultats de sa générosité mis à la disposition du public lecteur.
