圣经中的 Dragon 到底是什么？建议译为“大鱼”
刘庭凯 （作者2007年1月1日来稿）
《圣经》旧约中的 Dragon 大多被翻译为“大鱼”（如 Psa 91:13，Isa 27:1，Isa 51:9，Jer 51:34，Eze
29:3），Dragon well（Neh 2:13）被翻译为“野狗井”，而新约中的 Dragon 却被翻译为“龙”（Rev 12:3,4,7,9）。在《圣经》中
Dragon 是被彻彻底底的打倒了，永世不得翻身了。在新约启示录中，Dragon 被翻译为了“龙”，也就是说“龙”被彻彻底底的打倒了，永世不得翻身了。为什么同是一本书对同一个
dragon 要有两种如此不同的翻译呢？难道写旧约时 Dragon 还是一条大鱼，到写新约时就进化为了一条“龙”了？建议在《圣经》中 Dragon
统一翻译为“大鱼”。
