English-Chinese/Revelation

Revelation is when something is made clear or obvious that was hidden before. Most of the time, the term is used to speak about religious revelations. That means that the revelation is done by communication with the divine. Revelation can be through a deity who may send a messenger. Messengers that are supernatural are often called angels (Angel literally means messenger). Human messengers tend to be called prophets.

启示是指之前隐藏的某事物被弄清楚或使明显。大多数时候，这个词用于谈论宗教的启示。这意味着启示是通过与神的沟通来完成的。启示可以通过一个可以发送使者的神。超自然的使者通常被称为天使（天使字面意思是使者）。人类使者往往被称为先知。
