IN presenting this work to the American public, the publishers believe that they are rendering an important service to the religious community at large, and to theological students in particular.
在向美国公众呈献这部著作时，出版商相信他们正对广大的宗教界，特别是神学学生，提供一项重要的服务。
The first edition was published at Edinburgh in 1834, and has already obtained a very extensive circulation in Britain.
第一版于1834年在爱丁堡（Edinburgh）出版，并且在英国（Britain）已经获得了非常广泛的发行。
An estimate may be formed of the value of these Lectures, from the fact of their having received the highest praise of some of the most distinguished theological scholars in Scotland and England; and though expressing in the most decided manner the views of the particular denomination with which their author was connected, (the Presbyterian,) the catholic spirit with which these opinions are maintained, the candour with which others are stated, and the ability with which the common Christianity is illustrated and defended, may be learned from the fact of their being warmly recommended by the leading periodicals of nearly all the Protestant denominations of Britain.
这些讲稿的价值可以从以下事实来评估：它们获得了苏格兰（Scotland）和英格兰（England）一些最杰出的神学学者的高度赞扬；尽管它们以最明确的方式表达了作者所属特定宗派（即长老会，Presbyterian）的观点，但维护这些观点时所展现的大公精神（catholic spirit）、陈述其他观点时所展现的公正（candour），以及阐明和捍卫共同基督教（common Christianity）时所展现的能力，可以从英国几乎所有新教宗派（Protestant denominations）的主要期刊对它们的热情推荐中得知。
The Lectures of which this work is composed were read by their author to the students attending the Theological Seminary of the United Associate Church, in which he was Professor of Systematic Divinity.
构成这部著作的讲稿，是其作者向联合协和教会（United Associate Church）神学院（Theological Seminary）的学生们宣读的，祂在该神学院担任系统神学（Systematic Divinity）教授。
They were not prepared for the press; nor is it known that he ever entertained any design of publishing them.
它们并非为出版而准备的；也不知道祂是否曾有过出版它们的任何计划。
The following extract from one of the author’s unpublished introductory addresses to his students will give a correct idea of his aim in drawing them up.
以下摘自作者向其学生所作的未出版的其中一篇介绍性演讲，将提供一个关于祂撰写这些讲稿目的的正确概念。
“You come to this place to hear such an explanation of the doctrines of religion as will furnish you with materials of reflection, and assistance in your private inquiries.
“你们来到这个地方，是为了听取对宗教教义的解释，这些解释将为你们提供思考的材料，并为你们的私人探究提供帮助。
Of one thing it may be proper to admonish you; that you are not to expect to be entertained with things which may be properly called new.
有一件事可能需要告诫你们；那就是你们不应该期望听到那些可以被称为“新事物”的东西。
To some of you, indeed, many things may be新in this sense, that you have not heard them before; but in general, the subjects to which your attention is directed, are truths as old as the Bible, which have been topics of discussion from chairs and pulpits from the first ages of our religion.
对于你们中的一些人来说，确实有许多事物在这个意义上可能是新的，即你们以前没有听过；但总的来说，你们被引导去关注的主题，是与圣经一样古老的真理，它们自我们宗教的最初时代以来，就一直是讲台（chairs）和讲坛（pulpits）上的讨论主题。
It cannot be supposed that, in a field which has been so often and so carefully surveyed, there is any thing left to be gathered by the persons who shall walk over it again.
在一个如此频繁且仔细勘查过的领域，不能假设还有任何东西留给那些将再次走过它的人去收集。
Our purpose is gained if we are able to impart to the rising race the knowledge which was imparted to ourselves by our predecessors: and the utmost at which we could reasonably aim is to suggest some small matter which has been overlooked; to propose a new argument, or a better statement of an old argument; or, it may be, to throw some light upon a portion of the Scriptures not yet fully understood.
如果能够将我们的前辈传授给我们的知识，传授给正在崛起的后代（rising race），我们的目的就达到了：而我们能够合理期望达到的极限，是提出一些被忽略的小问题；提出一个新的论点，或对一个旧论点进行更好的陈述；或者，也可能是对尚未完全理解的圣经部分，投射一些光芒。
In human sciences, discoveries may be made by superior penetration, and more patient inquiry; and their advanced state in the present age is a proof of the success of modern philosophers in the investigation of the secrets of nature.
在人类科学中，可以通过卓越的洞察力（penetration）和更耐心的探究来做出发现；它们在当今时代的先进状态，就是现代哲学家（modern philosophers）在调查自然奥秘（secrets of nature）方面取得成功的证明。
Discoveries might have been made in religion while revelation was in progress, and its light was increasing like that of the morning; but as seventeen centuries have elapsed since it was completed, and during this long interval it has engaged the attention of the wise, the learned, and the pious, there is every probability that we have been anticipated in all our views.”
在启示（revelation）进行中，并且它的光芒像早晨的光一样不断增加时，宗教中可能已经有发现；但自从启示完成以来，十七个世纪已经过去了，并且在这个漫长的间隔中，它吸引了智者、学者和敬虔者（pious）的注意，我们很有可能在所有的观点上都被他人先提出来了（anticipated）。”
The Edinburgh edition was published under the superintendence of a son of the author, Andrew Coventry Dick, Esq.
爱丁堡版是在作者的儿子，安德鲁·考文垂·迪克（Andrew Coventry Dick）先生的监督下出版的。
The present edition is an exact reprint of the former, and in the course of publication has been under the supervision of one who was formerly a pupil of Dr. Dick, and heard a considerable portion of them read.
本版是前一版的精确重印，并在出版过程中受到一位曾是迪克博士（Dr. Dick）学生、并听过其中相当一部分内容宣读的人的监管（supervision）。
The appendix, containing observations on the atonement of Christ, belongs properly to the fifty-eighth lecture; and it was the original design of the American editor to have inserted them in their proper place in the body of the work; but as he was at a loss, upon examination, to determine the precise place in which their author would have wished them to come, he has judged it best to allow them to be published in their present shape.
附录（appendix）中包含关于基督赎罪（atonement of Christ）的观察，它们本来属于第五十八讲；美国编辑最初的打算是将它们插入到著作正文中合适的位置；但由于祂在审查时难以确定作者希望它们出现在哪个确切的位置，祂认为最好是允许它们以现在的形式出版。
In the preparation of the memoir prefixed to the first volume, the editor has made much use of the Life of Dr. Dick by his son A. C. Dick, Esq., and of a short sketch of his life and writings of his son-in-law, Rev. W. Peddie, of Edinburgh.
在编写卷一前的传记（memoir）时，编辑大量使用了祂的儿子A. C. Dick先生所著的《迪克博士生平》，以及祂的女婿，爱丁堡的W. Peddie牧师所著的祂的生平及著作的简短概要。
