Buddhism
Buddhism is the only important foreign religiousinfluence that has become part and parcel2 ofChinese life. The influence is so deep that we nowspeak of children’s dolls, and sometimes the childrenthemselves, as“ little Buddha ”, and the EmpressDowager3 herself was addressed as“Old Buddha”.The Goddess of Mercy and the laughing Buddha 4have become Chinese household words. Buddhism has affected our language , our food, ourarts, our sculpture and directly inspired the characteristic pagoda5 . It has stimulated ourliterature and our whole world of imagination. The little monkish figure, with his bald head andhis gray robes, forms an intimate part of any panorama of society, and Buddhist temples,rather than those of Confucius, are the center of the town and village life, where the eldersgather to decide on6 village matters and annual celebrations. Its monks and nuns penetratethe privacies of Chinese households, on all occasions of births, deaths and weddings, as noother persons are allowed to do, and hardly a widow or virgin can be seduced , according to theChinese novels, without the help of these religious figures.
Buddhism has conquered China as a philosophy and as a religion, as a philosophy for thescholars and as a religion for the common people. Whereas Confucianism has only a philosophyof moral conduct, Buddhism possesses a logical method, a metaphysics7 , and a theory ofknowledge . Besides, it is fortunate in having a high tradition of scholarship in the translationsof Buddhist classics, and the language of these translations, so succinct and often sodistinguished by a beautiful lucidity of language and reasoning, cannot but attract scholarswith a philosophical bias. Hence Buddhism has always enjoyed a prestige among the Chinesescholars, which so far Christianity has failed to achieve.

參考譯文
佛教
佛教是唯一一個(gè)成為中國(guó)人生活重要組成部分的重要外國(guó)教派。佛教對(duì)中國(guó)影響巨大, 現(xiàn)在我們常常將一些孩子的玩具娃娃稱(chēng)為“ 小菩薩”, 有時(shí)甚至將孩子也稱(chēng)為“ 小菩 薩”, 我們還將慈禧太后稱(chēng)為“ 老菩薩( 老佛爺) ”。觀音菩薩和彌勒佛已經(jīng)成為中國(guó)家喻戶 曉的名字。佛教影響了我們的語(yǔ)言、飲食、藝術(shù)、雕塑, 還直接給我們靈感, 建造起佛教特有 的寶塔。佛教促進(jìn)了我國(guó)文學(xué)的發(fā)展, 刺激了我們整個(gè)想象空間。留著光頭、穿著灰色長(zhǎng) 袍的小和尚形象已成為中國(guó)社會(huì)全景圖中不可缺少的畫(huà)面。佛教寺廟成為中國(guó)鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)人民 生活的中心, 在寺廟里村中老人聚集在一起對(duì)村里事務(wù)和每年舉行的慶;顒(dòng)做出決定, 而儒教的寺廟則不能發(fā)揮如此大的作用。佛教里的和尚和尼姑已經(jīng)滲透到中國(guó)家庭的日 常生活中, 他們出現(xiàn)在孩子出生、葬禮和婚禮等所有重要場(chǎng)合里, 而和尚和尼姑在這些場(chǎng)合 的作用是他人所無(wú)法替代的。在中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)小說(shuō)里, 如果沒(méi)有這些宗教人物的幫助, 幾乎沒(méi) 有一個(gè)寡婦或處女不會(huì)被人引誘而誤入歧途。
佛教作為哲學(xué)和宗教征服了中國(guó)。作為哲學(xué), 佛教贏得了中國(guó)學(xué)者的心; 作為宗教, 佛 教則獲得了平民百姓的支持。儒教只具有道德行為的哲學(xué), 而佛教則擁有邏輯方法、形而 上學(xué)理論和一整套認(rèn)識(shí)學(xué)說(shuō)。另外, 幸運(yùn)的是, 在翻譯佛家經(jīng)典著作時(shí), 中國(guó)具有優(yōu)良的學(xué) 術(shù)傳統(tǒng), 翻譯過(guò)來(lái)的語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔明快, 經(jīng)文中的語(yǔ)言和推理因美妙易懂而卓爾不群, 即使對(duì)哲 學(xué)抱有偏見(jiàn)的學(xué)者也會(huì)被其吸引。因此, 佛教在中國(guó)學(xué)者中一直享有較高的威望, 這一點(diǎn) 基督教至今還未能達(dá)到。
