我在圣经看到“佳美”的翻译是:Choice 和 Choicest(是比较级吧?)
"Choice"不是“选择”的意思么?
还有其他更好翻译吗?

Genesis
Ge. 41:5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven ears of corn, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk.
创世纪41:5 他又睡着、第二回作梦.梦见一棵麦子长了七个穗子、又肥大、又佳美 。

Ge. 41:22 In my dreams I also saw seven ears of corn, full and good, growing on a single stalk.
创世纪41:22 我又梦见一棵麦子、长了七个穗子、又饱满、又佳美 .

Deuteronomy
De. 3:25 Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan -that fine hill country and Lebanon.
申命记3:25 求你容我过去、看约但河那边的美地、就是那佳美的山地、和利巴嫩。

Ezekiel
Ez. 17:8 It had been planted in good soil by abundant water so that it would produce branches, bear fruit and become a splendid vine.
以西结书17:8 这树栽于肥田多水的旁边、好生枝子、结果子、成为佳美的葡萄树。

以上例子中,good,fine,splendid都翻译成佳美。
choice作形容词有精挑细选的,质量非常好的,上等的这类意思,当然也可翻译成佳美的,choice的比较级是choicer,最高级是choicest
