术语“神话”的详细信息

英译术语:

myth

汉语语境:

神话在今日学科体制中归属于文学是一个大错误。因为神话概念远大于文学。神话作为初民智慧的表述，代表着文化的基因。后世出现的文、史、哲等学科划分都不足以涵盖整体性的神话。作为神圣叙事的神话与史前宗教信仰和仪式活动共生，是文史哲的共同源头。

英语语境:

It is a big mistake to classify myth as one member of literature in today's discipline system . The reason is that the concept of myth is much broader than that of literature. As an expression of ancient people's wisdom, myth marks the gene of culture. In later generations, literature, history and philosophy were divided and they failed to cover all areas of myth. The myths of sacred recount together with the pre-historical religious belief and ceremony activities serve as the common source of literature, history and philosophy.
