迷信的

The causes of superstition are: pleasing and sensual rites and ceremonies; excess of outward and pharisaical holiness; over-great reverence of traditions, which cannot but load the Church; the stratagems of prelates for their own ambition and lucre; favouring too much of good intentions, which opens the gate to conceits and novelties; taking an aim at divine matters by human, which cannot but breed mixture of imaginations; and lastly, barbarous times, especially joined with calamities and disasters.

迷信的根源是：娱乐感官、愉悦耳目的宗教仪式；伪装的外在神圣；对教会传统习俗的敬畏感；主教们贪图名利的心计；人心的过分好善，使人因猎取新奇而上当受骗；对神圣目标的追求，也只能导致异想天开；最后，野蛮的时代，特别是与天灾人祸俱来的野蛮时代。

Compared with Tang Dynasty, it was more popular due to three major reasons. First of all, the competition in the imperial examinations of Song Dynasty was so intense that examinees felt their destinies could not be determined solely by their own efforts. The pressure drove them to an urgent need of harbingering examination results and being blessed by divinities. Secondly, the uncertainty involved in the examinations caused the prevalence of the belief of leaving things to chance. Thirdly, superstition of the imperial examinations was utilized by some to advocate karma and teach people at large to accumulate moral integrity and show mercy, adding fuel to the flames of the trend.

与唐代相比，宋代的科举迷信尤为盛行，主要原因有三：一是宋代科场竞争空前激烈，无法把握自己在科场上的命运，从而给士人带来了巨大的精神压力，他们迫切希望预知吉凶，并求得神灵的保佑；二是科举考试中的许多不确定因素亦即&幸与不幸&的存在，助长了命运说的流行；三是有人借助科举迷信宣扬因果报应，以劝世人积德行善，对科举迷信也起到了推波助澜的作用。

It was gravely said, by some of the prelates, in the Council of Trent, where the doctrine of the schoolmen bare great sway; that the schoolmen were like astronomers, which did feigh eccentrics and epicycles, and such engines of orbs, to save the phenomena; though they knew, there were no such things; and, in like manner, that the schoolmen had framed a number of subtle and intricate axioms, and theroems, to save the practice of the Church.
