Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.11,0:00:06.36,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}把属性归于神，谈论神的本质，这意味着什么？\N{\an2\fs10\i1}What does it mean to attribute properties to God and to speak about God's divine essence?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.19,0:00:21.63,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}这有一个传统，我们在圣经中就能找到。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}There's a tradition of doing so; we find it in the Bible.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.63,0:00:26.01,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如，圣经说神是良善的、智慧的、慈爱的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}The Scriptures speak, for example, about God as good, wise, or loving.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.52,0:00:33.91,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}而且在古代哲学中，甚至在前基督教时期的希腊人中，就有一个试图谈论神的本性的传统。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}But also, in ancient philosophy, there was a tradition—even with the pre-Christian Greeks—of trying to speak about the very nature of God.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.91,0:00:43.41,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}你能在亚里士多德或普罗提诺的著作中找到这点，而在早期\N教父的著作中，也有很多关于神的名号和神的属性的深思。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}You find this in Aristotle or Plotinus, and in the early Fathers of the Church, there's a lot of rumination about the divine names or the attributes of God.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.41,0:00:50.30,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}这传统延续到盛期中世纪，当时的伟大作者们写了许多关于神的属性的论著。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}This carried over into the High Middle Ages where great authors wrote treatises on the divine attributes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.67,0:01:03.53,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如神的单纯性、完美性、良善性、无限性、无所不在、不变性、永恒性和统一性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Examples include things like God's divine simplicity, perfection, goodness, infinity, omnipresence, immutability, eternity, and unity.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.09,0:01:12.92,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}在这里，我想只关注圣托马斯阿奎那在《神学大全\N》中谈到的头两个神的属性：单纯性和完美性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Here, I'd like to focus simply on the first two of the divine attributes that St. Thomas speaks about in the Summa Theologiae: simplicity and perfection.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.50,0:01:18.46,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}当我们谈论神的单纯性时，一开始可能会觉得这很违反直觉。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}When we talk about divine simplicity, we could think at the beginning that that's something very counterintuitive.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.46,0:01:21.78,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}人是复杂的，他们的思维和意志都是复杂的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Human beings are complex; their thinking and willing is complex.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.78,0:01:27.65,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}如果神理解我们，为了理解世界上发生的一切，他必须比我们更复杂才对。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}If God understands us, He must be even more complex than we are in order to understand everything that's going on in the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.64,0:01:33.74,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}实际上，在阿奎那的思想中，单纯性指的是类似于非复合性的东西。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Actually, simplicity in Aquinas is denoting something like non-composition.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.08,0:01:41.29,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}神是单纯的，不是复合的，在本体论上不像受造物那样复杂。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}God, who is simple, is not composite, not complex ontologically in some of the ways that creatures are.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.17,0:01:44.39,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}让我简要谈谈其中的四个方面。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Let me talk about four of those ways briefly.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.71,0:01:56.64,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}首先，我们每个人都有身体和灵魂，所以我们是复合的受\N造物，因为我们有灵性理性的灵魂和有机体的动物身体。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}First of all, each of us has a body and a soul, so we are composite creatures because we have a spiritual rational soul and an animal body with organic parts.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.98,0:02:03.100,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}但神没有身体，他不是身体和灵魂的复合体，他不是动物或物质对象。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}But God has no body; He's not a composite of body and soul; He’s not an animal or physical object.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.50,0:02:08.60,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}所以神比我们更单纯，神完全是非物质的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}So God is simpler than we are; God is wholly immaterial.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.18,0:02:14.93,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}第二，我们每个人都是与许多其他人共享本性的一类存在。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Second, each of us is a kind of thing that shares our nature with many others.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.23,0:02:19.51,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如，我们每个人都是人，在这方面，我们都是平等的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}So, for example, each of us is a human being; in that respect, we're all equal.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.51,0:02:27.26,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}我们拥有相同的人性，我们没有人能说，我就是人，我就是人性本身。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}We have the identical and same human nature; none of us could say, I am man; I am what it is to be human.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.73,0:02:33.87,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}我们是人性的具体实现——共享同一物种和类别的个体。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}We are realizations of human nature—individuals who share a common species and kind.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.87,0:02:46.40,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}这对我们在宇宙中看到的一切都是如此：许多土豚、许多树木\N、许多星星、许多种类的事物，每种类都体现在许多个体中。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}This is true of everything we see around us in the universe: many aardvarks, many trees, many stars, many kinds of things, each kind instantiated in many individuals.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.34,0:02:53.31,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}但神不是这样的，在他里面没有本质和个体的复合。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}This is not the case with God; there's no composition of essence and individual.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.34,0:02:56.46,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}神是唯一的神。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}God is the only one who is God.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.46,0:03:06.12,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}并不是有许多创造者之神，而我们的神只是其中之一\N，相反，这位创造主是万物的创造者，只有他是神。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}There are not many gods who are creators, of which our God is only one; rather, the Creator is the Creator of all things, and only He is God.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.46,0:03:10.99,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}你可以这样说：只有神具有神性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}You might say it this way: only God has deity or divine nature.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.49,0:03:19.11,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}只有那位创造万物的主才是那位独特的、赐予万物存在的主。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Only He who has made all things is He who is entirely unique as the giver of being to all things.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.33,0:03:23.88,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}没有谁像神，除了神以外没有谁有神性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}No one is like God; no one has the divine nature but God.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.14,0:03:31.33,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}第三，神不从他者那里获得存在，所以在他里面没有本质和存在的复合。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Third, God doesn't receive His existence from others, and so there's no composition in Him of essence and existence.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.43,0:03:37.55,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}我们是依赖性的存在，但神是单方面赐予万物存在的主。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}We’re dependent beings, but God is the unilateral giver of being to all things.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.87,0:03:44.07,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}他不从任何人那里获得存在，所以他本质上不是依赖的或被造的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}He receives His being from no one, so He is not essentially dependent or created.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.40,0:03:48.94,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}相反，存在对神来说是本质的，存在是他本性的一部分。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Rather, it is essential to God; it is of His very nature to exist.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.94,0:03:52.30,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}在某种意义上，我们甚至可以说他就是纯粹的存在。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Even in a certain way, we could say that He is pure existence.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.88,0:04:01.74,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如，在出埃及记三章十四、十五节中，神在燃\N烧的荆棘中对摩西说：「我是自有永有的」。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}So, for example, when God speaks to Moses in the burning bush in the story in Exodus 3:14 and 15, He says, I am He who is.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.62,0:04:06.24,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}只有神能这样说自己：我确实是自有永有的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Only God can say that of Himself: truly, I am He who is.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.04,0:04:12.09,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}因为对神来说，存在是他的本性，他的存在是完美和纯粹的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Because in God, it is of His very nature to exist, and His existence is perfect and pure.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.94,0:04:18.17,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}最后，神没有任何完善他的实体或本性的知识属性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Lastly, God does not have any properties of knowledge that perfect His substance or nature.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.25,0:04:26.25,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如，你我可以随着时间变得精通数学，可以完善我们的数学知识。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}So, for example, in you and I, we could become mathematical over time, and we could perfect our knowledge of mathematics.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.29,0:04:28.51,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}或者我们可以变得有道德美德。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Or we could become morally virtuous.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.85,0:04:35.59,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}我们的心智和意志可以进化或退化，但神没有这种属性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}We can evolve or devolve in the mind and in the will, but God doesn't have properties of this kind.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.91,0:04:41.15,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}事实上，我们必须说，在某种意义上，神就是他的知识和他的爱。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}In fact, we have to say that, in some sense, God simply is His knowledge and His love.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.81,0:04:53.28,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如，我们没有人能说，我就是爱或我就是智慧，但约翰在他的\N第一封书信中说，神就是爱，本质上在他的一切所是中都是爱。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}For example, none of us could say, I am love or I am wisdom, but John in his first letter says, God is love, essentially love in all He is.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.10,0:04:58.78,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}圣经中也说神就是智慧——自存的、实质的智慧。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}And it's also said in the Bible that God is wisdom—subsistence and substantial wisdom.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.44,0:05:03.96,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}最终，神里面的这智慧和知识与他的爱和良善是合一的。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Ultimately, this wisdom and knowledge in God is one with His love and His goodness.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.06,0:05:10.97,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}现在，当我们谈论神的完美性时，我们说的是因着他的纯粹实现而属于他的事物。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Now, when we speak about God's divine perfection, we're speaking about something that pertains to Him in virtue of His pure actuality.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.31,0:05:18.54,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}神不会因着他与世界的互动而有可能变得更大或更小。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}God is not in potentiality to become something greater or something lesser based on how He interacts with the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.02,0:05:23.86,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}神创造世界不是为了提升自己的道德，他帮助我们或拯救我们也不是为了提升自己。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}God didn't create the world to improve Himself morally; He doesn't help us or save us to improve Himself.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.33,0:05:28.89,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}他不可能行事失败，他不可能不高尚。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}He can't fail to do well; He can't fail to be noble.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.89,0:05:35.31,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}神超越那些有限的完美属性的实现。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}God is above those kinds of finite realizations of properties of perfection.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.91,0:05:45.42,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}所以关于神的完美性的用语表示一个奥秘——神\N拥有无限的生命、存在、知识、智慧和良善。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}So the perfection terms of God signify a mystery—that God has life, being, knowledge, wisdom, and goodness without limitation.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.42,0:05:55.88,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}现在，从这两个神的名号出发，我们可以开始思考许\N多其他逻辑上源于神的单纯性和完美性的神的属性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Now, from these two divine names, we can begin to think about a whole host of other divine attributes that follow, as it were, logically from considering the simplicity and perfection of God.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.88,0:06:01.60,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}例如，从他的单纯性，我们可以开始思考神的不变性和永恒性。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}For example, from His simplicity, we can begin to think about God's immutability and eternity.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.58,0:06:12.19,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}从他的完美性，我们可以思考他的良善性和无限性，然\N后我们可以继续思考他的无所不在和统一性等话题。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}From His perfection, we can think about His goodness and infinity, and we can then go on to topics like His omnipresence and His unity.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.49,0:06:27.10,Default,,0,0,0,,{\an2\b1}阿奎那在《神学大全》第一部分向我们展示了这种知识秩序是如何展开的，这是一种\N灵修操练——这是理智上升到神那里，深入思考神是谁，并通过知识和爱更接近神。\N{\an2\fs10\i1}Aquinas shows us how this order of knowledge unfolds in the first part of the Summa Theologiae, and it's a kind of spiritual exercise—it's an ascent of the intellect up to God to think deeply about who God is and to grow closer to God by knowledge and by love.
