§ Translation
Below is the translation of the provided classical Chinese text into English and Korean, sentence by sentence, adhering to the guidelines specified:
¶ Text Translation
√ Chinese Text:
明必死之路者,嚴刑罰也。

¶ Annotation Translation
The 'annotation' section would provide a detailed explanation or interpretation of the original text. Let's provide a hypothetical annotation for translation:
√ Hypothetical Annotation in Chinese:
"明"字指出清楚、明白之意。此句意指由于严酷的刑罚,人们明确地意识到其可能导致的危险后果,从而避免触犯法律。
√ English Translation:
The character "明" (míng) indicates clarity and explicitness. This sentence suggests that due to the harshness of the punishment, people clearly understand the potential dangerous consequences, thus avoiding breaking the law.
√ Korean Translation:
‘明(명)’ 자는 명확하고 분명한 의미를 가리킨다. 이 문장은 가혹한 형벌로 인해 사람들이 그로 인해 발생할 수 있는 위험한 결과를 명확히 이해하고, 따라서 법을 위반하지 않도록 한다는 것을 시사한다.

§ Triple Parallel Corpus
To create a triple parallel corpus in XML format, we can structure it with parallel elements for each language version of the text. Below is how this can be formatted:
〈parallelCorpus〉
〈entry〉
〈classicalChinese〉
〈text〉明必死之路者,嚴刑罰也。〈/text〉
〈/classicalChinese〉
〈englishTranslation〉
〈text〉The path that clearly leads to death is severe punishment.〈/text〉
〈/englishTranslation〉
〈koreanTranslation〉
〈text〉명백히 죽음에 이르는 길은 엄한 형벌이다.〈/text〉
〈/koreanTranslation〉
〈/entry〉
〈/parallelCorpus〉
¶ Explanation:
- Root Element: `〈parallelCorpus〉` is the root element encompassing all entries in the corpus.
- Entry Element: Each `〈entry〉` encapsulates the three parallel versions of a passage: classical Chinese, English translation, and Korean translation.
- Language Elements:
- `〈classicalChinese〉`: Contains the original classical Chinese text.
- `〈englishTranslation〉`: Contains the English version of the text.
- `〈koreanTranslation〉`: Contains the Korean version of the text.
This structure allows for a clear presentation of each language version in parallel, facilitating comparative studies or linguistic analysis.
