在希腊传统中,有一套特殊的考虑因素用来确定行星的状态,这些因素赋予了吉星和凶星在本命盘中的特殊作用,这些因素被称为加持(bonification)和虐待(maltreatment)。
In the Hellenistic tradition there were also a special set of considerations that were used to identify planetary condition which gave the benefics and malefics special roles in the birth chart, and these were known as the conditions of bonification and maltreatment.——Chris Brennan
加持和虐待在评估行星状态方面具有至关重要的作用。
正如Demetra George所述:
虐待和加持的情况比较少见,但却可以大幅提升或降低行星的整体评级,遏制和围攻在保护或伤害方面极具效力,这取决于是由吉星还是凶星所为。
Conditions of maltreatment and bonification are less frequent, but more important in dramatically raising or lowering a planets overall rating, containment and enclosure are extremely potent in protection or injury, depending on whether it is done by benefics or malefics. ——Demetra George
加持和虐待这套希腊技法,最好的版本当属当代研究希腊占星的两位大家Chris Brennan和Demetra George,这两位占星大家彼此有师生关系,因此两套版本也具有较好的关联性。
易简占星的课程中仍然保留maltreatment的直译,翻译成“虐待”,至于bonification,由于并无直接对应的中文词汇,因此我们翻译成“加持”,这个词翻译的灵感来自于佛教用语,一方面“加持”一词能够很好地贴合并展示其本义,另一方面又增添了一丝东方文化的韵味。
我们还是希望在翻译西方占星著作的时候,对术语的翻译能够更考究一些,这样更有利于理解本义,也更有利于传播。有些词翻译的并不准确,比如“福点”的翻译就欠妥,造成了许多误解,事实上翻译成“命运点”更合适。
adherence,我们翻译成了“附着”,“附着”一词更加形象。
engagament,我们翻译成了“联结”,忠实本义。
struck with a ray,我们翻译成了“光线投掷”,忠实本义。
overcoming,我们则继承了“星阙网站”的翻译,翻译成了“宰执”。宰执这个词非常精妙,忠实本义,却又简洁凝练,富有底蕴。
