几十年来，学者们一直认为，在公元最初几个世纪传播到中国的印度文字，即使不是几乎全部，也大部分都是用西北中印度语（广为人知的犍陀罗语）写成的。这一假设的大部分数据来源于早期中国佛教翻译中包含的印度专有名称和佛教技术术语的中文转录的重建发音。本文受到辛岛诚史近期精彩著作的启发，试图从另一个角度重新审视这一假设。仔细观察翻译过程本身的问题就会发现，早期翻译团队的中国成员的合作可能有助于形成这些效果图的最终形状。这种认识将要求我们重新评估我们对这些文献在印度佛教语言和文本历史中的使用。
Scholars have for several decades now assumed that most if not virtually all of the Indic texts transmitted to China in the first few centuries of the Common Era were written in a Northwest Middle Indic language widely known as Gāndhārī. Much of the data for this hypothesis has derived from the reconstructed pronunciation of Chinese transcriptions of Indian proper names and Buddhist technical terms contained in the early Chinese Buddhist translations. This paper, inspired by the recent brilliant work of Seishi Karashima, attempts to reexamine this assumption from another angle. A closer look at problems in the translation process itself reveals that the collaboration of the Chinese members of the early translation teams may have been instrumental in formulating the final shape these renderings assumed. Such a realization will require us to reassess our use of these documents for the history of Indian Buddhist languages and texts.
