*谚语*之通鉴 (An Almanac of *Proverbs*) 约翰·迈尔斯·弗里 (John Miles Foley) #1. Oral poetry works like language, only more so. 口头诗歌与语言的运作规则一样,且有过之而无不及。 #2. Oral poetry is a very plural noun. 口头诗歌乃是一个复数名词。 #3. Performance is the enabling event, tradition is the context for that event. 演述使事件成其为可能,但传统乃是该事件的语境。 #4. The art of oral poetry emerges through rather than in spite of its special language. 口头诗歌的艺术通过其特殊的语言而显现,但并不止于特殊语言。 #5. The best companion for reading oral poetry in an unpublished dictionary. 解读口头诗歌的最佳指南恰恰在未曾刊印的词典之中。 #6. The play"s the thing (and not the script). 演剧方为要害(而非脚本)。 #7. Repetition is the symptom, not the disease. 重复乃症侯,非病兆也。 #8. Composition and reception are two sides of the same coin. 创编和接受乃是一枚硬币的两面。 #9. Read both behind and between the signs. 解读既要深入到符码的背后,也要涵泳其间。 #10. True diversity demands diversity in frame of reference. 真正的多样性需要参照系的多样性。 (朝戈金 巴莫曲布嫫 译) (责任编辑:admin) |
