术语“神圣王权”的详细信息

英译术语:

divine kingship

汉语语境:

日本的天皇制度是一种神圣王权，这已成为日本国内外学界对天皇制的一种共识。所谓神圣王权就是指其君主被视为神的子孙或神灵化身的王权。的确，日本天皇已超出生物学属性的人，是一种神格化的特殊存在。但是这并不意味着天皇是绝对君主，因日本天皇制的性质归根结底是宗教性王权，而不是确立在政治、经济基础上的王权。纵观日本历史，天皇确实拥有一种象征性的权力，但在实际上掌握政治、经济实权的是武士阶层。

英语语境:

System of Mikado (the emperor of Japan) is generally acknowledged by scholars in and outside Japan as a kind of divine kingship under which kings are considered as the offspring or embodiment of the God.It's a fact that Mikado in Japan is far beyond a human being in the biological sense and is actually a special Godheaded being.But it doesn't mean that Mikado is the absolute king, instead, he only has the symbolic power, the real political and economic power being in the hands of the samurai class.
