英译术语:

study of natural phenomenon to acquire knowledge

汉语语境:

朱熹以其理学思想为旧本《大学》补“格物致知”传，延展与活化了自孔子开创、荀子接续但却又为后世儒家所忽视了的知识论传统，使得宋代理学作为“新儒学”，在内容和形式（方法）上都区别于传统儒学，从而成为中国哲学发展史上的一座里程碑。

英语语境:

In the interpretations of Ge Wu Zhi Zhi, namely, studies of natural phenomenon to acquire knowledge, Zhu Xi turns to Da Xue (the Great Learning) as a complementary literature material. In this way, he activates the epistemological tradition that has been started from Confucius, continued by Xun Zi, but ignored by later Confucian scholars. Zhu’s contribution renews that tradition and is hence called the Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty with renewed content and form. It is a milestone in the history of Chinese Philosophy.

英译术语:

from object-observing to knowledge

汉语语境:

“格物致知”是理学的一个重要命题，在对这一命题的理解上，二程和朱熹同样表现出其哲学个性。程朱的“格物致知”论是儒家哲学体系中最为发达的认识论成果，其最主要特征就是客观外求的认知主义思维路线，但这一思维路线与中国古典哲学主观内省的大传统相左。

英语语境:

Both the Brothers Cheng and Zhu Xi advocate the principle of “From Object-observing to Knowledge”. It is one of the remarkable achievements of epistemology in Confucianism. Its main characteristic is to study the phenomena of nature in order to acquire knowledge with an objective and external perspective, which is reverse to the tradition of internal examination.
