Korean to English: Prajna Paramita Detailed field: Religion
Source text - Korean 작금의 시점에서 제게 반야심경의 색즉시공(色卽是空)이란 경문이 떠오르는 연유가 뭘까요? 색(色), 그건 형태가 있는 것, 대상을 형성하는 물질적인 것, 넓게는 대상 전반을 가리키는 것으로, 그 대상이란 것을 어느 특정한 대상으로 생각하고 있으나 실은 그것은 광범한 연계 위에서 그때그때 대상으로 나타날 뿐인 것이며, 그 테두리를 벗어나면 이미 다른 것으로 변하는 것이므로 그 대상에 집착하는 것은 어리석은 일이라고 생각합니다.	Translation - English What could be the reason that I'm reminded of the words, "void are the color seen," from the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra? Color refers to anything with a form, something of a matter as an object, or broadly speaking, the concept of object as a whole. And we normally think of an object as a particular, but they only seem that way when they surface time to time above the vast spiritual realm, and once it gets out of its boundaries it changes into something else, therefore I think it is foolish to be fond of that object.
Japanese to English: On controversial history textbook Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - Japanese 現在、中学校歴史教科書の検定と採択をめぐって、議論がなされています。なかでも、日朝関係にかかわる事項はこの議論の焦点の一つとなっています。　教科書の内容をめぐっては、すでに歴史教育、あるいは歴史研究の立場から多くの検討がなされています。朝鮮史研究会幹事会でも、いわゆる「教科書問題」にいかに対応すべきかについて、継続して議論を行なってきました。　その結果、私たちは、朝鮮史研究の立場から歴史教科書の記述について検討し、これを公表することが必要であると判断しました。具体的には、教科書の記述に見られる歴史的事実が正しいかどうかという問題と、その評価が妥当であるかどうかについて、近年の研究成果に照らして検討するということです。	Translation - English Right now, there's a debate going on over the process of selecting the standard for junior high school history textbook. The things related to the relationship between Japan and Korea is one of those points being debated. There has already been a lot of examinations surrounding the contents of the textbook from historical education perspective. And even within the Research Center for Korean History, there has been a continous discussion about how much of this textbook issue we should be dealing with and for how long. As a result, we have examined the history textbook from the perspective of researchers of Korean history and we have decided that it is necessary for us to publicize our findings. We've examined whether the contents of the textbook is right or not, or whether such evaluation of the history is warranted according to the results of recent research.
