Later in life you start thinking,"Well, maybe there is something to that page"
再大一點(diǎn)之后你開(kāi)始思考 可能這個(gè)故事里有一些內(nèi)涵
And so when we have the introductory page, we have this four little line ditty, right after the title page:
所以當(dāng)我們讀到開(kāi)篇介紹時(shí) 會(huì)讀到這四首小詩(shī) 翻開(kāi)封面就是
When shall I be dead and rid Of the wrong my father did
我該何時(shí)離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界 擺脫我的父親給我的污名
How long, how long, till spade and hearse put to sleep my mother's curse
還要多久 還要多久 鐵鏟和靈車才能抹去母親的詛咒
This introductory page kind of ties in with the very end of The Queen of Air and Darkness
這個(gè)開(kāi)篇看起來(lái)緊扣空氣女王和黑暗的結(jié)果
Because if we think of the first part, this is really Arthur's lot,
因?yàn)?如果我們想想開(kāi)篇 這真的是亞瑟的命運(yùn)
This is his state of, "When shall I be dead and rid of the wrong my father did, the wrong that Uther did,"
這就是他的陳述我該何時(shí)離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界 擺脫我的父親給我的污名 烏瑟給他的污名
in lusting after or more than lusting after Igraine
他貪戀或許不只是貪戀伊格賴因
And "How long, how long, till spade and hearse put to sleep my mother's curse ",
還有 還要多久 還要多久 鐵鏟和靈車 才能抹去母親的詛咒
this all just refers to Arthur's family tree
這些都只是在說(shuō)亞瑟的家事
What we're gonna see in here,
這里我們會(huì)看到的
we're gonna see our other main group We're gonna see Morgause, one of the three sisters
我們會(huì)看到我們的其他主要成員 我們會(huì)看到摩高斯 他們家三個(gè)姐妹之一
We're gonna see her four sons --Gawaine, Agravaine, Gaheris and Gareth
我們還會(huì)看到她的四個(gè)兒子 高文 阿古溫 葛漢利還有加雷思
We're gonna see how they're raised and why,
我們會(huì)講到 他們?nèi)绾伍L(zhǎng)大 為什么會(huì)這樣
in spite of themselves, they are different than Arthur
盡管如此 他們還是跟亞瑟不同
Partly what we see is a result of seeing how they're raised We theoretically get a better understanding of how Arthur was raised
他們現(xiàn)在的樣子部分是由于成長(zhǎng)環(huán)境所致 理論上 可以幫助我們更好的理解亞瑟是如何長(zhǎng)大的
In other words, what values he got out of being raised the way he did
換句話說(shuō) 他在成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中 接受了怎樣的觀點(diǎn)他的行為方式
