王力主编的《古代汉语》(1962年,北京,中华书局)对“近者祸”一句未加注释,不过该书上册第一分册333页说:“者字词组译成现代汉语,有时候可以简单地译作‘……的’,但是古代汉语的‘者’并非等于现代汉语的“的”。因为这两个字的性质和用法并不完全相同。例如‘勇者’固然可以译作‘勇敢的’,但是现代汉语还可以说‘勇敢的人’,而古代却不能说‘勇者人’。” Wang Li’s “Ancient Chinese” (Beijing, Zhonghua Book Company, 1962) made no comment on the phrase “near misfortune”, but the first volume of the book Volume 333 says: “The word group translated into modern Chinese has However, the ”person“ of ancient Chinese is not equal to the ”modernity“ of modern Chinese because the nature and usage of these two words are not exactly the same. For example, ’brave’ can certainly be translated as ’courageous’ ’But modern Chinese can be said to be’ brave man ’, but ancient can not say’ brave man ’. ”
