2017年12月英語四級翻譯題庫:倫理學
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
雖然人們總把倫理學看作是哲學的一個分支,但倫理學包羅萬象的實踐的本質(zhì)使它與其他許多學科領域聯(lián)系起來,這些學科包括人類學、生物學、經(jīng)濟學、歷史學、政治學、社會學和神學。然而,倫理學又與這些學科不同,因為它不像科學和其他學問那樣涉及實在的知識,而是涉及確定規(guī)范理論的本質(zhì)以及將這些原則應用于實際的道德問題。
參考翻譯:
Although ethics has always been viewed as a branch of philosophy, its all-embracing practical nature links it with many other areas of study, including anthropology, biology, economics, history, politics, sociology, and theology. Yet, ethics remains distinct from such disciplines because it is not a matter of factual knowledge in the way that the sciences and other branches of inquiry are. Rather, it has to do with determining the nature of normative theories and applying these sets of principles to practical moral problems.
