J. W. Alexander was son of Archibald Alexander and this book is a great thought provoker – the only thing that I think would keep it from being very popular is that the first part is a great deal of random thoughts on various topics.
J. W. Alexander是Archibald Alexander的儿子，这本书很能引发思考 – 我认为唯一可能影响它广受欢迎的原因是，第一部分包含了大量关于各种主题的零散想法。

It might be difficult to methodically plod through it so on the section called HOMILETICAL PARAGRAPHS I have created an index of subjects to, hopefully, make it more useful.
要系统地读完这本书可能很困难，因此在名为”讲道段落”（HOMILETICAL PARAGRAPHS）的部分，我创建了一个主题索引，希望能使它更有用。
IT had long been the cherished wish of Dr Alexander to prepare a volume on Homiletics, for the use of young ministers and students; and with this object in view, he was in the habit of jotting down, in his private journals, in the form of paragraphs, such thoughts as occurred to him on the subject.
Alexander博士长期以来一直珍存着一个愿望，就是要为年轻牧师和学生编写一本关于讲道学的著作；为了这个目标，他习惯在私人日记中以段落形式记录下他在这个主题上的想法。
In one of his later journals I find the following entry: “If the Lord should spare me below, it will be well for me some day to look over all my dailies, and collect what I have written from time to time on Ministerial Work. It is already enough for a volume. It might do good when I am gone.” But death defeated his plans.
在他后期的一本日记中，我发现了以下记载：”如果主让我继续在世上活着，某一天我最好能翻阅我所有的日记，收集我不时写下的关于牧会工作的内容。已经足够成册了。在我离世后可能会有所帮助。”但死亡打断了他的计划。
To carry out his purpose as far as it is now possible, I have collected these paragraphs, and print them just as they occur in his journals, without any attempt to arrange them in the order of subjects.
为了尽可能实现他的目标，我收集了这些段落，并按照它们在他日志中出现的原样加以印刷，没有试图按主题顺序重新排列。
I have also added to them several articles on the same subject, contributed by him to the Princeton Review, and a series of letters to young ministers, published in the Presbyterian, thus giving to the public, in a permanent form, all that he has written upon these important topics.
我还添加了他在《普林斯顿评论》(Princeton Review)上发表的几篇相关文章，以及在《长老会报》(Presbyterian)上发表的一系列给年轻牧师的信件，从而以永久的形式向公众呈现了他就这些重要话题所写的全部内容。
In addition to these I have introduced some paragraphs on miscellaneous subjects from the same journals, most of them bearing upon ministerial life and experience.
除此之外，我还从这些日志中引入了一些关于各种主题的段落，其中大多数与牧师生活和经历有关。
Although deeply sensible of the inadequacy of this work to convey fully the matured experience of the author, I am not prepared to withhold its publication; believing that incomplete as it is, it may yet be of advantage to all who are looking forward to the sacred office.
尽管深知本作品在完整传达作者成熟经验方面存在不足，我仍不愿意拒绝出版；因为我相信，即使是不完整的内容，对所有期待从事神圣职务的人来说也可能有所裨益。
Although deeply sensible of the inadequacy of this work to convey fully the matured experience of the author, I am not prepared to withhold its publication; believing that incomplete as it is, it may yet be of advantage to all who are looking forward to the sacred office.
尽管深知这部作品无法完全传达作者成熟的经验，我仍决定不应扣留其出版；我相信，虽然它并不完整，但对所有期待从事神圣职务的人来说仍可能有所裨益。
In such a collection there must necessarily be some repetition of thoughts, and some opinions which were afterwards modified by the author; but I have concluded to give the whole as it stands, rather than attempt an elimination which might weaken rather than give strength to the subject.
在这样的文集中，难免会有一些思想的重复，以及一些作者后来修改过的观点；但我决定按原样呈现全部内容，而不是试图删减，因为删减可能会削弱而不是增强主题的力量。
