| 释义 |
Macdonald served at Port Havannah on the island of Efate from 1872 to 1905.[2] He was the "most notable linguist in the history of the New Hebrides Mission", and was the "organising translator-editor" of the Nguna–Efate Old Testament published in 1908.[3] He, John W. Mackenzie, and Peter Milne each contributed approximately one third of the translation. Macdonald espoused the idea that Oceanic languages were of Semitic origin,[1] and promoted a hybrid Efatese language.[2] He and Milne were involved in a feud that lasted for more than fifteen years, which started with a disagreement over how to translate the word "God" in the local language.[4][5] Macdonald was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree from McGill University, and served as moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria in 1896.[1] He married Elizabeth Keir Geddie, daughter of missionary Rev. John Geddie.[6][7] References1. ^1 2 J.
