Abstract
《官話和合本》（現今通行的《國語和合本》）自從1919年發行以來，已成為中文《聖經》翻譯史上最受歡迎的權威譯本，其語體和用詞也對近代中文《聖經》譯本影響深遠。然而，隨著語言的演變，近年來《和合本》譯文修訂的需求漸增。眾多近代中文譯本當中，《恢復本》即是根據《和合本》語體翻譯的譯本，並標榜其譯文「忠於原文」、「達意精準」，修訂《和合本》不足之處。此次研究以〈歌羅西書〉為例，探討《恢復本聖經》修訂《和合本聖經》的策略。為了解釋《和合本》與《恢復本》興起的歷史背景，本論文也會介紹《聖經》中譯的歷史，並說明《和合本》與《恢復本》的特色。本研究指出，《恢復本》的譯文確實更貼近原文本意，但直譯的經文有時可能會提升理解難度。
Published in 1919, the Chinese Union Version (CUV) Bible has become the most dominant and popular version in the history of Chinese Bible translation. Its style and diction have had a profound influence on other modern Chinese translations. However, with the evolution of the Chinese language, the need for revisions to the CUV has increased in recent years. The Chinese Recovery Version (CRV) was written to address this need. It follows the style of the CUV closely, while also claiming to be more accurate and faithful to the source text.Using the Epistle to the Colossians as the basis of comparison, this thesis attempts to evaluate the strategies of the CRV on the revision of the CUV. In order to help readers better understand the historical background of the CUV and the CRV, this paper will also introduce the history of the Chinese Bible translation and discuss the characteristics of the CUV and the CRV. This thesis concludes that the translation of the CRV is indeed closer to the original meaning, but its literal translation may sometimes be difficult to understand among Chinese readers.
