雙語散文觀賞:佳麗魚一包養網心得的傳說

Stories of mermaids have b包養網dcardeen told for centurie be it in the form of folklore, legends or fairy tales. Images of this creature have plagued artists and writers in their efforts to bring to life the mystery,包養網車馬費 beauty, and, ye eroticism of the mermaid to their audiences. Some still claim, even today, that they exist.

佳麗魚的故事不論是在平易近間傳說、傳奇故事,仍是在童話故事裡,都曾經傳播瞭數百年。有數藝術傢和作傢都費盡心血地經由過程藝術抽像和文字向民眾復原佳麗魚之謎、佳麗魚之美,還有佳麗魚的情挑一面(確切不移!)。直至明天,依然有人宣稱世上有佳麗魚。
The mermaid and merman legends begin with the worship of god as have many mythologies. The earliest representations and descriptions of these now well-known creatures can be traced back as far as the eighth century BC, where merfolk got their beginnings as pagan water deities and supernatural female water包養妹 beings.
好像浩繁神話一樣,關於雌性和雄性佳麗魚的傳奇故事始於天神崇敬。對現在這一廣為人知的生物的Z早描寫可以追溯到公元前八世紀,在阿誰時期,人們Z開端視其為原始水神和具有超天然才能的雌性水怪。
The Babylonians were known to worship a sea-god called Oanne or Ea. Oannes was reputed to have risen from the Erythrean Sea and taught to man the arts and sciences. In the Lo甜心寶貝包養網uvre today can be seen an eighth century wall-scene depicting Oannes as a merman, with a fish-like tail and the upper-body of a man.
古巴比倫人敬奉一個名為“奧尼斯”或“伊亞”的海神。聽說,奧尼斯從厄立特裡亞古海上升起,向人類教授藝術與迷信常識。現在在盧浮宮裡,人們還可以看到一幅創作於八世紀的壁畫,畫中的奧尼斯是一條雄性人魚,下身為人形,長著一條貌似魚尾的尾巴。
The Syrians and the Philistines were also known to have worshiped a Semitic m包養網ermaid moon-goddess. The Syrians called her Atargatis while the Philistines knew her as Derceto. It is not unusual or surprising that this moon-goddess was depicted as a mermaid as the tides ebbed and flowed with the包養網 moon then as it does now, and this was incorporated into the god-like personifications that we find in their art and ancient literature. Atarg包養網atis is one of the first recorded mermaid and the legend says that her child Semiramis was a normal human and, because of thi Atargatis was ashamed and killed her lover. Abandoning the infant she became wholly a fish.
眾所周知,敘利亞人和腓力斯人敬奉一位閃米特佳麗魚月神。敘利亞人稱她為“阿塔哥提斯”,而腓力斯人則把她叫作“得塞托”。潮流跟著月亮的陰晴圓缺而漲退,古今皆這般,所以佳麗魚被阿誰時期的人稱為月神也很正常,層見迭出,而佳麗魚也因這一點在現代腓力斯藝術創作和文學作品中被詮釋為神的化身。阿塔哥提斯是Z早被記錄的佳麗魚之一。傳說稱她的第一個孩子斯米拉米斯是一個通俗人,她是以覺得慚愧不已,先包養行情殺逝世瞭戀人,後擯棄瞭仍是嬰兒的孩子,本身完完整全地釀成瞭魚形。
In Japanese and包養網 Chinese legends there were not only mermaids but also sea-dragons and dragon-wives. The Japanese mermaid known as Ningyo was depicted as a fish with only a human head. Polynesian mythology includes a creator named Vatea who was d甜心花園epicted 包養as half-human and half包養-porpoise.包養
japan(日本)和中國的傳說故事裡不只有佳麗魚,還有海龍王和龍母。japan(日本)的佳麗魚叫“人魚”,有著人頭魚身的抽像。玻利尼西亞神話裡則有一個名叫“維提”的半人半海豚形怪物。
Greek and Roman mythology is often placed together as the two are very similar, and it is in the literature from these cultures that one finds台灣包養網 the first literary descrip甜心花園tion of the mermaid and, indeed, mermen. Poseidon and Neptune were often depicted as half-man and half-fish, and Homer ment包養網車馬費ions the S包養條件irens during the voyage of Od包養ysseu although he fails to give a physic包養甜心網al description.
由於古希臘和古羅馬神話很是類似,是以人們經常把兩者放在一路會商。關於雌性佳麗魚與雄性佳麗魚的文字描寫Z早便呈現在這兩種文明的文學包養網作品裡。古希臘海神波塞冬和古羅馬海神尼普頓經常被描寫成半人半魚的抽像。荷馬在講述奧德修斯的海上征程時提到瞭塞壬,隻惋惜他並沒有對其外形作詳細描寫。
The British Isles too had their fair share of merfolk mythology. The Cornish knew mermaids as Merrymaids; the Irish knew them as Merrows or Muirruhgach and some sources write that they lived on dry land below the sea and had enchanted caps that allowed them to pass through the water without drowning. While the women were very beautiful, the men had r包養網ed nose piggy eye green hair and teeth, and a penchant for brandy.
不列顛群島也不缺佳麗魚的傳說。康沃爾人把佳麗魚稱為“梅麗少女”,而愛爾蘭人則稱之為“梅爾蘿”或許“梅如加”。有材料稱,這些佳麗魚住在海底幹燥的海洋上,由於頭戴魔帽而不會在水中溺斃。雌性佳麗魚都異常冷艷,而雄性佳麗魚則是紅鼻小眼,綠發青牙,還熱愛喝白蘭地。
Germanic mythology has the Meerfrau, the Nix and the Nixe who were male and female fresh-water inhabitant and it was believed that they were treacherous to men. The Nixe lured men to drown while the Nix could be in the form of an old dwarfish character or as a golden-haired boy and, in Iceland and Sweden, could take the form of a centaur. The Nix also loved music and could lure people to him with his harp; if he was in包養網 the form of a horse he would tempt people to mount him and then dash into the sea to drown them. While he sometimes desired a human soul包養網 he would often demand annu包養網心得al human sacrifices. There was also the more elven-like Nixies that would sometimes appear in the market; she could be identified by the corner of her apron being wet. If s包養網比較he pai包養d a good price it would be an expensive year, but if she paid a low price the prices for that year would remain cheap. In the Rhine were to be found the Lorelei from which the town took its name. The Germans also knew the Melusine as a double-tailed mermaid as did包養軟體 the British heraldry as well.
梅爾弗、尼克斯和尼斯則是日爾曼平易近族神話中的佳麗魚,他們是生涯在海水中的雄性和雌性佳麗魚,聽說對人類奸滑兇險。雌性佳麗魚會把漢子勾引到水中使其溺斃,而雄性佳麗魚則會釀成年老的侏儒或許金發男孩勾引人類;在冰島和瑞典,他還會以人首馬身的樣子呈現。雄性佳麗魚愛好音樂,會彈奏豎琴以引誘人類。假如他以馬的抽像呈現,他就會誘人騎到馬背上,再沖到海裡,把人淹逝世。有時辰,他想要取得人的魂靈,於是就請求人類每年以活人作為供品。雌性佳麗魚有時會以相似小精靈的抽像在集市上呈現,圍裙一角濕答答的就是她。假如她付出瞭年夜價格,那這一年集市的商品價錢就會走高;而假如她出瞭低價,那這一年的價錢就低。在萊茵河道域,此中一個小鎮的名字就是源自佳麗魚羅日雷。日爾曼人還了解“梅爾露辛”是條雙尾佳麗魚,而英國的紋章上也有雙尾佳麗魚。
With the growth of science, the fantastic became childish amongst the writers of包養感情 the growing educated, especially during the eighteenth century, but began to fl包養網ourish again with the Romantic Movement at the turn of the century. It was also the time, however, for the scientifically-minded to do their utmost to dispel the myth of the mermaid, claiming that all the recorded sightings were simply men who’d been at sea too long and wanting to believe, and so, when a seal, porpoise, dugong or manatee was spotted from the ship, they’d swear they’d seen a mermaid.
跟著迷信的日益成長,關於學問日漸豐盛的作傢來說,那些八怪七喇的說法顯得老練好笑,這一點在十八世紀尤為凸起,但這些關於佳麗魚的說法在十八世紀末的浪漫主義活包養情婦動中卻又從頭昂首瞭。但也恰是在阿包養網誰時辰,有迷信腦筋的人力圖盡Z年夜盡力往解開佳麗魚之謎。他們稱,一切記載在案的佳麗魚目睹事務,隻不外是由於人在海上漂流的時光過長,沒有精力依靠,於是,當他們在船上看到一隻海豹、海豚、儒艮或海牛時,他們就信誓旦旦地傳播鼓吹本身看到瞭佳麗魚。
