"Revered" translation english-chinese


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm wondering if somebody could help me please with a translation to mandarin of the word "revered"?

Apparently the characters below have the meaning of "revere":

敬畏 "jing wei"

But I would like to know "revered", as in the person the symbol is referring to is revered. (regarded with respect tinged with awe)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok, so far I have found this:

被敬畏

Is anyone able to confirm to me that it has the meaning of "revered", as described in the previous post?

Thanks!

尊敬: verb/noun, meaning respect or to respect.

被敬畏:

被 makes something passive. 敬畏 is to revere, 被敬畏 is to be revered (by). You can translate 'revered' as 被敬畏的(人). But maybe a native speaker can come up with something better.
