Now this is all part of a long tradition of Christian anti-Semitism

这是基督教反犹太主义的传统之一
because of course the word Pharisee doesn't mean

因为对大多数犹太教徒来
"hypocrite" to most Jews,

法利赛人当然不是"伪君子"
but who traced back Rabbinic Judaism to the pre-seventy Pharisees themselves,

而是公元70年那时的犹太学者法利赛人
Gamaliel in the Book of Acts is considered a Pharisee,

使徒行传中的迦玛列被认为是法利赛人
and he's a famous rabbi in rabbinic materials.

也是犹太教著名的拉比(老师）
Jews don't think of the word Pharisee as being a bad term,

犹太人没有把法利赛这个词当作贬义词
but in a lot of English, and a lot of languages it is

但在许多语言中却是贬义词包括英语
because Christians used it.

就因为基督教的缘故
They took it straight out of Matthew,

基督徒直接从马太福音中引用
where the Pharisees are called hypocrites over and over again,

而马太福音中法利赛人一再被当作伪君子
and they just take that into their own language.

这词义就这样被直接融入了语言中
