Visuddhimagga VI-14

Kasmā?

为什么呢？

Ñ(VI,14): Why not?

Asubhaṃ hi nāmetaṃ vāḷamigādhiṭṭhitampi amanussādhiṭṭhitampi hoti.

因为不净的尸体可能有野兽光顾或非人觊觎，

Ñ: Because this foulness is beset by wild beasts and non-human beings,

Tatrassa jīvitantarāyopi siyā.

若往那里走，则有生命的危险。

Ñ: and he might risk his life there.

Gamanamaggo vā panettha gāmadvārena vā nahānatitthena vā kedārakoṭiyā vā hoti.

或者所走的路要经过村口、浴场与田边，

Ñ: Or perhaps the way to it goes by a village gate or a bathing place or an irrigated field,

Tattha visabhāgarūpaṃ āpāthamāgacchati, tadeva vā sarīraṃ visabhāgaṃ hoti.

那里可能发现异性之色，甚至那尸体便是异性 ──

Ñ: and there a visible object of the opposite sex might come into focus. Or perhaps the body is of the opposite sex;

Purisassa hi itthisarīraṃ itthiyā ca purisasarīraṃ visabhāgaṃ, tadetaṃ adhunāmataṃ subhatopi upaṭṭhāti, tenassa brahmacariyantarāyopi siyā.

即男子以女体为异性，女子以男体为异性。如果异性之体是新近才死的，可能生起净想，所以对于他的梵行也是障碍。

Ñ: for a female body is unsuitable for a man, and a male body for a woman. If only recently dead, it may even look beautiful; hence there might be danger to the life of purity.

Sace pana ‘‘nayidaṃ mādisassa bhāriya’’nti attānaṃ takkayati, evaṃ takkayamānena gantabbaṃ.

如果他能够这样的自觉：「这对于我是不足轻重的」，那么他便可去。

Ñ: But if he judges himself thus, 'This is not difficult for one like me', then he can go there.
