标题有关「性」的英文

『婚前性行为』的英文怎麽说?
一般来说,有两种讲法,一种是口语常用的premarital sex or illicit sex,另
一种比较正式,就是fornication (婚前行淫或称「淫乱」)。淫乱(fornication )是指一
个未婚的人与异性发生关系,而“奸淫”(adultery)则是指一个已婚的人,与非配偶发生
性关系。二者都是神所憎恶的罪,根据圣经,都是性方面的罪。
Fornication的动词就是 fornicate,都是从希腊文 Porneia 来的。
pornography (色情影片、刊物等) 也是来於此字根。
你可能会觉得很奇怪,为什麽 fornicate的开头是 F 却源自於 porneia (P开头)。因为
p 和 f 音常可以通转,如 telephone的ph的 h不发音,而 p 是发成 [f] 的音。
根据『The American heritage Dictionary of the English Language, fourth Edtion
』的定义,这字的英文解释为 『Sexual intercourse between partners who are not
married to each other.』Webster 则解释为「 consensual sexual intercourse
between two persons not married to each other」。
Fornication 的字词搭配则是 commit fornication 就像 adultery 的动词搭配是
commit adultery。Commit 後面常接「负面的事情」,一般可译为「犯…」,
如 commit a crime, commit suicide 等等。
The term fornication comes from the Greek: “porneia”. We get our English
word “pornography” from it. Literally, it means to sell oneself and is thus
associated with prostitution. The technical difference between fornication
and adultery is that adultery involves at least one married person while
fornication is a more general term for sexual immorality that may involve
married or unmarried persons.
另外,Fornication 也常被用在KJV 圣经, 是从porneia译过来的。
Porneia, from which we get our common word pornography. The word refers to
all forms of sexual activity outside of marriage, especially sex between
unmarried persons. Illicit sex is associated with moral uncleanness and
impurity of the heart and the affections. Illicit sexual intercourse,
adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals
etc.; sexual intercourse with close relatives; Lev. 18; sexual intercourse
with a divorced man or woman; Mk. 10:11,12; metaphorically, the worship of
idols, and of the defilement of idolatry, as incurred by eating the
sacrifices offered to idols.
简言之,Aultery 和 fornication 都是婚姻外的性行为。
一个是婚後的行淫,一个是婚前的淫乱。
只是现代社会性放纵,婚前性行为(淫乱)不再被视为罪,
而通奸在美国的一些州也被「除罪化」,最近台湾
也在考虑通奸除罪化。
再补充几点,亲人之间的感情常用 affection而
「迷恋」的英文一般说 infatuation 或 have a crush on 某人。
「柏拉图市恋爱」也就是「精神上的恋爱」可翻成 Platonic love。
「之前的情人」(前男友或前女友」可说是 old flame 或 former flame,
或说成ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend。
而「好色的」英文可说 incontinent, lascivious, lecherous, libertine,
libidinous, lustful, salacious, satyric , concupiscent, goatish 等等。
但口语上常用「horny」来表示「好色的」之意,像我常看「六人行」
就常听到这个字。

"Fornication" is the word translated from the Greek word porneia. According
to the New Unger's Bible Dictionary, the word is used of illicit sexual
intercourse in general. The NIV reflects this fact when it translates the
word "fornication" with the word "immorality." It can more specifically
indicate sexual relations between unmarried persons. Relations between
married persons who are not married to each other are termed "adultery." Some
Bible passages, such as Matthew 5:32 and 19:9, seem to include both
premarital and extramarital relations in the general term "fornication,"
while identifying "adultery," as the specific sin of one who divorces his
wife and remarries another.
The Greek word "porneia" is used in a general way in 1 Corinthians 5:1 of the
man who lived with his father's wife. It is used in 1 Corinthians 6:13, 18,
Galatians 5:19, and Ephesians 5:3 of any improper sexual activity. It is used
in 2 Corinthians 12:21 of general sexual sin.
Porneia is the word from which we derive "pornography," which involves
fornication portrayed in writing or in pictures. The New Testament does not
deal with the immoral act only, but also the immoral thoughts leading up to
the act. Jesus spoke against sexual immorality of any sort when He taught
that even a lustful look is wrong (Matthew 5:27-30).
Immorality of all kinds--fornication, homosexuality, bestiality-were part of
the pagan religious practices of Tan ancient societies (most notably Ephesus
and Corinth Paul's epistles again and again confront the sexual immorality
prevalent in these cultures, and call for Christians to avoid it (1
Corinthians 6:18), and to come clean from it by repenting of it (1
Corinthians 6:911).
In the book of Revelation, worshipping idols is also called "fornication."
The term in Revelation is a metaphor for intimate companionship with
something other than the true God. This also calls to mind the immorality
often associated with idol worship among the Canaanites and other neighbors
of Israel, as well as the immorality associated with modern society in its
pursuit of "gods" other than the true and living God.
The prohibition against fornication rests on the ground that it discourages
marriage, tends to make the education and care of children to be more
insecure, depraves and defiles the mind more than any other vice, and thus
makes one unfit for the kingdom of God (adapted from New Unger's Bible
Dictionary, page 441).
