Traditions of the Tinguian: a Study in Philippine Folk-Lore — Page 3
在这种情况下,最好是暂缓尝试,并在脚注中提醒读者注意与其他领域的显著相似之处。
Under the circumstances it has seemed best to defer the attempt and to call attention in the footnotes to striking similarities with other fields.
总体而言,这些故事与当今的宗教信仰联系如此紧密,以至于它们不太可能以任何接近其现有形式的面貌,出现在这个部落所统治地区之外。
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.
然而,与邻近民族甚至遥远地区相对应的孤立情节却出现了数次。
Nevertheless, isolated incidents corresponding to those of neighboring peoples or even of distant lands occur several times.
通过观察,我得出结论:廷吉安人的宗教组织和仪式已达到比邻近部落更高的发展水平,而这种复杂性随着我们深入内陆或向南推进而逐渐降低。
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.
若此说成立,则以这些信仰为基础或与之相关的故事,随着我们离阿布拉越来越远,也必然会愈发薄弱,这似乎是显而易见的。
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.
我在此谨向弗朗兹·博厄斯博士和贝托尔德·劳费尔博士表示谢忱,他们的关心与建议对这份材料的出版准备工作具有极大的价值;同时也向已故的罗伯特·F·卡明斯先生致以诚挚的感谢,正是在他慷慨的资助下,田野调查工作得以顺利开展。
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; also to express my gratitude to the late Robert F. Cummings, under whose liberal endowment the field work was carried on.
他始终如一的关注使得现藏于博物馆的大量菲律宾藏品得以汇聚成集,令人深感遗憾的是,他未能亲眼看到自己慷慨之举的所有成果最终得以向广大读者公开。
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.
