【中英对照】墨香铜臭《天官赐福》中的古典文化意象探源 (下)(3)
黑马骑士→饥荒→贺玄,
Black Horseman → famine → He Xuan
绿马骑士→死亡→戚容。
Pale Horseman → death → Qi Rong
就像白马骑士代表神圣的逆反,反人类反神圣;
White Horseman represents sacred rebellion, anti-human and anti-sacred;
红马骑士是拿大刀的一方领主,代表战争和毁灭;
Red Horseman, a feudal lord with a broadsword, represents war and ruin;
黑马骑士代表饥饿和不公正的交易(艹,我想到了黑水欠债);
Black Horseman represents famine and unfair trade (which reminds me of He Xuan’s debt);
绿马代表死亡和苦难(别问我为啥是绿马而不是灰马,原版圣经里这个词有绿色的词根,就是那种死人绿,但英文里的绿色没有这个代表意,所以在英文里就用了死人灰,叫灰马骑士,但其实就是绿色)。
Pale Horseman represents death and misery. (In the Holy Bible, the original word has a root of green, which reminds people of corpse. But green in English doesn’t has this meaning, so English uses pale. Actually it should be green.)
(补充:中文中有成语“青红皂白”,比喻事情的是非曲直、来龙去脉。字面义即青、红、黑、白四种颜色,正好对应四大害的颜色。
(Addition: There is a Chinese idiom Qing Hong Zao Bai, meaning the hows and whys of a matter, directly implying the four colors, green, red, black, and white respectively, which are also the color of the Four Great Calamities.
