词汇 the bug bible
词源
The Bug Bible. Numerous editions of the Bible have been named for their translators or patrons, the most famous being the King James or Authorized Version, which was prepared by a group of British scholars working at the command of King James I from 1604 to 1611. James commissioned this version mainly because other Bibles of the time had marginal notes questioning the divine right of kings. Coverdale’s Bible, Cram- mer’s Bible, Cromwell’s Bible, Matthew’s Bible, Matthew Parker’s Bible, Taverner’s Bible, Tyndale’s Bible, and Wycliffe’s Bible are all famous in history. Coverdale’s Bible is sometimes known as The Bug Bible because it reads “Thou shalt not need to be afraid for any bugs by night” in a passage from Psalms, using “bugs” in- stead of “terror” in the sentence. Other amusing instances of printer’s errors occur in The Wicked Bible (1805), where the seventh commandment reads “Thou shalt commit adultery”; the Unrighteous Bible, which says that “the unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God”; and The Sin On Bible, which in the book of John reads “sin on more” instead of “sin no more.” There is even a Vegetarian Bible and one with no references to sex.
