EVIDENTLY the desire and aim of the writer of this Epistle is to place all to whom it comes in the same advantageous position which he himself and his fellow-apostles enjoyed, as regards the knowledge of God in Christ, and the full enjoyment of the holy and divine fellowship which that knowledge implies.
显然，这封书信作者的愿望和目标是将所有收到这封信的人放在与他自己和他的同使徒所享有的同样有利的地位上，就对在基督里认识神，以及充分享受那认识所蕴含的圣洁和神圣团契而言。

That is his great design throughout; and this is his announcement of it at the very beginning of his treatise.
这是他整个的伟大设计；这是他在论文一开始就对此的宣告。
Some think that he is here pointing to his Gospel, and that, in fact, this Epistle was meant to accompany that previously-published narrative, either as a sort of supplement and appendix, or as an introductory letter, explaining and enforcing the lessons of his great biography of his Master.
有些人认为他这里是指向他的福音书，实际上，这封书信是为了配合那个先前出版的叙述，要么作为某种补充和附录，要么作为一封介绍信，解释和强调他关于他主人的伟大传记的教训。
It may be so, although I incline, after some vacillation, to my early formed opinion as to that biography being the loved disciple’s last work.
也许是这样，尽管我在一些犹豫之后，倾向于我早期形成的观点，即那个传记是蒙爱门徒的最后作品。
And here, at any rate, I rather understand him as referring, not to that particular book at all, but to his ordinary manner of teaching, and its ordinary scope; and as including in the reference all his brethren in the apostleship.
无论如何，在这里，我更理解他指的不是那本特定的书，而是他通常的教导方式和其通常的范围；并且在这个指涉中包括了他在使徒职分中的所有弟兄。
When he says, “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,” I cannot doubt that he means to indicate generally the “apostles’ doctrine” (Acts 2:42)—the common doctrine of all of them alike.
当他说”我们所看见所听见的传给你们”时，我不能怀疑他是要一般性地指示”使徒的教训”（使徒行传2：42）——他们所有人共同的教义。
“That which we have seen and heard”—all of us alike—”declare we”—all of us alike—in order that we may have you, our disciples and scholars, our hearers and readers, to be sharers with us in our knowledge and in our fellowship.
“我们所看见所听见的”——我们所有人一样——”我们传给”——我们所有人一样——为了让你们，我们的门徒和学者，我们的听众和读者，与我们一同分享我们的知识和我们的团契。
We would have all the privileges of both attainments common between you and us.
我们愿意让这两种成就的所有特权在你们和我们之间共有。
In regard, indeed, to knowledge, we cannot make you as well off as we ourselves have been; not at least so far as knowledge comes through the direct information of the senses, and is verified by their testimony.
关于知识，我们确实不能让你们像我们自己一样富足；至少就知识通过感官的直接信息而来，并通过它们的见证得到验证而言是如此。
We have “heard and seen, and looked, and handled” (ver. 1).
我们”听见了，看见了，察看了，摸过了”（第1节）。
We have had a personal acquaintance with Jesus in the flesh, and have come into personal contact in the flesh with whatever of God was manifested in him, by him, through him.
我们与肉身中的耶稣有个人的相识，并且在肉身中与在祂里面、借着祂、通过祂所显明的神的一切有个人的接触。
We have gazed into his face; we have hung upon his lips;—I, John, have leaned on his breast.
我们凝视过祂的面容；我们专注于祂的话语——我，约翰，曾靠在祂的胸怀。
We cannot make you partakers with us in that way of “knowing Christ after the flesh” (2 Cor. 5:16); nor consequently in the sort of fellowship, so satisfying and soothing, “after the flesh,” for which it furnished the occasion and the means.
我们不能让你们以那种方式与我们一同分享”凭着肉体认基督”（哥林多后书5：16）；因此也不能分享那种令人满足和安慰的”凭着肉体”的团契，因为那为这种团契提供了机会和方式。
