問個翻譯 - 翻譯

※ 引述《solarjeff (吉祥如意)》之銘言：
: 因此 status 在這邊我會建議翻為 " 狀態 / 境界 / 層次 "
: A status seeker 我會覺得翻為 " 欲提升層次的人 "
: 這邊 seeker我會看成 a person who seeks for sth. to ...
: 加上 meditate 的目的是提升自我精神領域的層次
: 因此 status 當作地位(有世俗名利之意味存在)來解釋感覺上有點突兀
: : was meditating well－being a model monk!
: 此外 model 一般來說用模範是不錯的
: 不過這邊就文意來看
: a model monk 翻成 典型的和尚/修行者

: 在泰國的佛教寺院中，身為一個典型的和尚，
: 作為一個追求自我精神層次提升的人，必須清楚的知道自身的禪修體驗。
solarjeff, I know the goodwill of yours makes you interpret it this way.
But please take a closer look at "status" and the supposedly summerizing
phrase "being a model monk" after a dash.

"Status" doesn't carry the meaning you refer to.
"Level" or "state of mind" will do.

Not all monks truly follow Buddha's teaching of maintaining a mindset of
non-achieving. So obviously their seemingly "meditating well" could only
fool the less enlighted.
