15.3 限定的表达方式
15.3 Expressions Of Takhsees
Takhsees(特指,即对一般性陈述的限定)可以通过在一般性陈述之内或之外指明特定的词语或短语来实现。出现在一般性陈述之内的类型有以下五种:77
Takhsees (specification of the general) is accomplished by specifying words or phrases found either within the general statements themselves or outside of them. The five types which occur within general statements are as follows:77
1. 例外(Istithnaa):
1. Istithnaa (exception):
在这种情况下,一般性的规则之后跟随一个例外介词,以及一个对其加以限定的从句或短语。下面这段经文就是一个很好的例子:
In this case the general law is followed by a preposition of exception and a clause or phrase which qualifies it. A good example can be seen in the following verse:
“诚然,那些与安拉和祂的使者作对、在大地上散布败坏的人,其惩罚是处死、钉十字架、交错断其手足,或流放出境。这是他们在今世的耻辱;而在后世,他们将遭受严厉的惩罚。唯有在他们被擒获之前悔罪的人除外。”78
“Verily, for those who (allatheena) wage war against Allaah and His Messenger and spread corruption in the land, the penalty is execution, crucifixion, severing opposite hands and legs, or banishment from the land. That is their disgrace in this life, and in the next life they will receive a severe punishment, except those who repent before they are caught.” 78
2. 修饰语(Sifah)
2. Sifah (modification):
这一类主要指由关系代词 allathee、allatee("who"、"which")及其变体引导的关系从句。关于禁止结婚的范畴,可以在下面这节经文中找到此类限定的例子:
This type refers mainly to relative clauses introduced by the relative pronouns allathee, allatee (who, which), and their derivatives. An example of this type of specification can be found in the following verse concerning the forbidden categories of marriage:
“以及你们妻子所生、并在你们监护之下的继女(ربائبكم),那些是你们与她们同房过的妻子所生的。”79
“And your stepdaughters (rabaa’ibukum) under your care, born of your wives whom (allaatee) you have entered.” 79
也就是说,一个男人与其妻子同房之后,妻子的女儿(即他的继女)对他就成为禁止结婚的对象,无论他是与妻子离婚,还是妻子去世。然而,如果他在与妻子同房之前与她离婚,或者妻子在他与她同房之前去世,那么他就可以娶她的女儿(即他的继女)。因此,“你们所过门的妻子”这一关系从句限定了“你们妻子的女儿”这一泛指短语。
That is, a man’s stepdaughter by a wife with whom he had sexual intercourse is forbidden to him if he divorces his wife or if she dies. However, if he divorced her before consummating the marriage or if she died before he did so, he would be able to marry her daughter (his stepdaughter). Thus, the relative clause, “whom you have entered” specifies the general phrase, “step-daughters of your wives.”
3. 条件(Shart):
3. Shart (condition):
条件从句起着限定语的作用,因为它们表明一种情况或一组情况对另一种情况的依赖关系。此类从句通常由“in”(如果)等从属连词引导。例如,经文:
Conditional clauses function as specifiers since they state the dependence of one circumstance or set of circumstances on another. Such clauses are usually introduced by a subordinator such as “ in” (if). For example, the verse,
{规定你们:当你们中有人临终时,如果留下了财产,应当为父母和近亲留下一份合理的遗产;这是敬畏真主者应尽的义务。} 80
“It is prescribed upon you that you bequeath a good portion (of your wealth) for your parents and close relations when death approaches any of you (ahadakum), if (in) you have left some wealth; an obligation on those who fear God.” 80
因此,临终时立遗嘱的一般义务,便转变为仅针对拥有财产者的义务。
Thus the general obligation of writing a will when death approaches is turned into an obligation only for those who possess wealth.
4. غاية(时间从句)
4. Ghaayah (clauses of time):
状语时间从句通常由连词"hattaa"(直到)引出,并且常带有否定词。这类限定的好例子,是安拉关于朝觐仪式的经文。
Adverbial clauses of time are usually introduced by the subordinator “hattaa” (until) and accompanied by a negative. Good examples of this type of specification are Allaah’s statements concerning the rites of hajj,
“在牲畜到达宰杀之处之前,不要剃头”,81
“Do not shave your heads until (hattaa) your sacrificial animal has reached its appointed place (of sacrifice),” 81
以及祂关于经期妇女的论述,
and His statement concerning menstruating women,
“在她们清洁之前,不要接近她们(行房)。”82
“Do not come near them (for sexual intercourse) until ( hattaa) they have reached a state of purity.” 82
5. 部分替代整体(Badal al-ba‘d minal-kull):
5. Badal al-ba‘d minal-kull (substitution of a part for the whole):
这是一种阿拉伯语结构,由关系从句引导词“谁”(man)引出的从句构成,用来描述一个名词的某个方面,并且该从句可以替代这个名词的位置。这种结构的一个例子可以在下面这节经文的直译中看到:
This is an Arabic construction in which a form of relative clause introduced by the subordinator “whoever” (man) des-cribes an aspect of a noun which it can take the place of. An example of this type of construction can be seen in a literal translation of the verse,
“真主对众人(al-naas)有一项权利,即朝觐天房;凡能找到前往之路的人(man)皆应如此。”83
“Allaah has a right on all people (an-naas) to make hajj to the House; whoever (man) is able to find a way there.” 83
在阿拉伯语中,从属词“凡”(man)代替了“所有人”这一短语,因此它所处的位置即是“所有人”的替代。由此,该经文可译为:“凡能够找到途径前往天房(克尔白)朝觐的人,安拉对他们有权利。”
In Arabic, the subordinator “whoever” represents a part of the phrase “all people” and is substituted in its place. Hence the verse could be translated, “Allaah has a right on whoever is able to find a way that they make hajj to the House (Ka‘bah).”
