I pointed out before that this does have all a good bibliography, in the beginning a lot of basic works like the Arthurian encyclopedia which we do have,
我之前說過 首頁有個很好的目錄索引 有很多像亞瑟王百科全書一類的參考文獻
they mentioned Geoffrey of Monmouth, The History of the Kings of Britain which were mentioned in the documentaries we saw
都提及了蒙茅斯的杰弗里 我們文獻中提到的《英國帝王史》
As you gonna leave through here
跳開這里
you will see a lot of material, another work by Owen, for example, over at the end, The Evolution of the Grail Legend, which is kind of interesting
你們會看到很多材料 例如 另一部歐文的作品 在最后 《圣杯傳奇的進化》這本書還蠻有意思
I don't know too how much you figure out this book but over on page 497 and 98 in the back
不知道你們找出來多少這本書的內容 就在第497頁還有后面倒數第98頁
There's a glossary of technical and archaic terms
這兒有專有名詞詞匯表和古老術語表
So it's a good place to put a paper clip
這兒絕對是放書簽的好地方
They come across things not everything's there
這兒解釋了一些事 但不是所有的事
for example maybe you all knew what the word scourge was today
例如 你們可能都知道scourge這個詞現在的意思
But if you did not look it up somebody asked me
但有人問我如果你不查字典的話
We've used to heard or heard it used more as a noun, you know, the Scourge of the West,
我們習慣性地認為它是一個名詞 你們懂的 西方的禍害
which means kind of the evil character
意思是某種邪惡角色
But actually if you look it up, the first meaning of the scourge is a whip
但如果你查字典的話 scourge第一個意思是鞭子
and so when the dwarf was beating Erec with a scourge
所以當矮人用scourge抽打埃里克的時候
It's basically sounds like a whip that you know lots have been tied in or something which is slicing them up
聽起來就像鞭子抽打的聲音 就像很多東西捆在一起 或者像一個整體被切成薄片
So the terms there, and then there's notes in the back in each of these words starting right after that on page 499
這兒的術語 還有每個詞的書后注解 都直接從499頁開始
And whenever they have an asterisk in the text that means there's a note on that
一旦文中出現星號 就表示此處有注解
And to be quite frank that's not how I read them
坦白說 這不是我讀書的方式
What I tend to do is say okay I'm gonna read to let's see
我傾向的方式是說 嗯 我要開始讀了
so I'm supposed to read this page 30 today, that's line 2000
我看看 我今天準備讀30頁 也就是2000行
I go back to read all the notes
讀完后集中看注釋
And so I know the additional information they're giving me and then go read the text
這樣我就知道他們給我傳達的額外信息 然后再讀文章
It's easier than reading it back and forth or you can do it both ways,
這樣比來來回回地看要輕松很多 或者你們可以同時采用兩種方式
you can read them ahead of time, and then read the text, and then go back and read the notes again
先看注釋 再看文章 再回過頭看注釋
But the notes give you some insight
注釋能給你們一些啟發(fā)
And I tell you, they give me some insight
真的 同樣也給我啟發(fā)
That's a good question, you know, that's a really good comment
這是個好問題 這個評論確實不錯
And so they're definitely worth reading
所以這些注釋絕對值得一讀
