【中英对照】墨香铜臭《天官赐福》中的古典文化意象探源 （上）(5)
[The pinyin of the monastery, meaning water chestnut in Chinese, is the same as Puji, meaning helping and saving people, which implies Xie Lian’s wish to save all lives.]
（补充：当时墨香和长阳一起旅游采风，路过太子殿时看到“本观危房，诚求捐款”的牌子，一边笑个半死一边往功德箱里捐了钱，书中菩荠观门口危房求捐款牌子的灵感便来自于此。
(Addition: During that travel, Mo Xiang and Chang Yang, the painter who paints many pictures for Mo Xiang’s books, are together. When two girls passed by Crown Prince Monastery, they saw a board written “This monastery is a dilapidated building, and we sincerely seek donation.” So they laughed and donated finally. This is the inspiration of the board, written “Monastery is about to collapse. Beloved Benefactors. Please donate for the repair, as well as for your blessing”, at the door of Pu Ji Monastery in TGCF.)
3. 不幽林 Bu You Forest
“大片大片的树林，唤作不幽林”“森凉凉的不幽林里”……
“A huge forest names Bu You.” “In cool Bu You Forest”…
【不幽林在仙乐皇城之外，是人面疫的发源之地。幽在古汉语中有昏暗、潜藏之意，按照文中描述，不幽林本应是幽静森凉的树林，作者却反其道而行之，以“不幽”取公开、显现之意，是在暗喻人面疫的猛烈传播、难以遏制吗？】
[Bu You Forest is outside imperial city of Xian Le Nation, and also the cradle of human face plague. You in the name in ancient Chinese means dim and hiding. According to TGCF, Bu You Forest should be a quiet and cool forest, but the author does the opposite and uses Bu You, meaning not dim and hiding, to convey the meaning of open and revealing. Does it imply human face plague violently spreads and is difficult to contain?]
