Elisa_F Posted March 8, 2017 at 09:32 AM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 at 09:32 AM @mouse Thanks for your help, I went through similar doubts while translating. Anyway, I have to thank you because reading your post, when you say: 16 hours ago, mouse said: "rituals and justice" is fine in context, but justice does rather imply a legal context, when 儀 essentially just means "what is right". I would probably gloss 禮儀 as "etiquette and rightness", which also nicely gets across the prissiness of this ideal! I thought you were right that "justice" is not suitable for 儀, but then I checked my copy and it has 知禮義. This is something I'll have to research. 17 hours ago, mouse said: 大倫 is a moral system, so you can include or leave out the word moral for clarity's sake, but it isn't in the original. I think I'll keep the word "moral". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
