“讹略”一语产生于隋唐之际,在唐宋时期大量使用。该术语主要见于中土佛教撰述,用来评价早期佛经译文音译词、意译词、用字、文本等方面的缺失;它也出现在佛经译文中,指密咒念诵发音不当。该术语的实际用例表明,现有工具书对它的解释存在较多缺陷。 The term “erroneous” originated from the Sui and Tang Dynasties and was widely used in the Tang and Song dynasties. This term is mainly found in the writings of the Indo-China Buddhism, which is used to evaluate the lack of transliteration, free translation, usage of words and texts in the early Buddhist scriptures. It is also found in the translations of the Buddhist scriptures and refers to improper pronunciation of the secret mantras. The actual use case of the term shows that existing tools have more flaws in its interpretation.
