#蕭叔叔講莎士比亞【煽動顛覆分裂國家的文字】
[明報專訊]話說四月二十三號是英國大文豪莎士比亞的四百週年忌辰,不少英美作家都在不同的傳媒寫文拍片悼念這位argubly是英國語文最偉大的作家。蕭叔叔也湊湊熱鬧,在自己的Facebook專頁做講故佬,拍幾段短片分享自己最喜歡的莎劇對白。今天蕭叔叔選了其中一段同大家分享,這段來自莎士比亞的歷史悲劇Julius Caesar凱薩大帝。這段文字不太出名,但是很有「火」,很具煽動性。
話說古羅馬時代的凱撒大帝打了幾場勝仗,在左右手Mark Anthony協助下準備稱帝,打算獨攬國家的權力。當地的仕紳豪族當然不願,於是密謀刺殺凱撒。蕭叔叔選的這段對白,說話的是仕紳Cassius,對象是同樣是當地貴族的Casca。
Cassius:
And why should Caesar be a tyrant then?
Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf,
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep:
He were no lion, were not Romans hinds.
Those that with haste will make a mighty fire
Begin it with weak straws: what trash is Rome,
What rubbish and what offal, when it serves
For the base matter to illuminate
So vile a thing as Caesar!
頭三句的大意是:為什麼凱撒能成為獨裁者?為什麼他會成為嗜血,嗜權的豺狼?歸根究底,是因為羅馬人都是乖巧聽話服從的綿羊。留意第三句的but字,不是「但是」的意思,而是「只是」。所以Romans are but sheep意思是:羅馬人只是綿羊。
第四句是差不多意思,假如羅馬人不是容易捕獲的羚羊,獵物,凱撒又怎能成為這頭猛獅?留意後半句用了倒裝的詞序,以表達condition的語氣。用比較常見的詞序寫,這後半句是:if Romans were not hinds.
中文有句說話:星星之火,可以燎原,是說熊熊的山火,也是由零星火頭開始的,指做大事不怕開始時力量微薄。想不到莎士比亞的文字也有相似的一句:Those that with haste will make a mighty fire begin it with weak straws. 大意:熊熊烈火,也是由小小的稻草開始的。Cassius說這句話的意思很明顯:凱撒好像力強勢大,但拯救羅馬的大業,就是由我們這些小勢力開始的。
最後一句很長,句式複雜,但意思深遠,用字狠辣,大家可以學學。蕭叔叔試翻譯為現代英文:Rome is only trash and rubbish and offal, if all it does is to serve as the fuel for the fire that brightens up so horrible a thing as Caesar. 中文大意:假如我們把羅馬用作照耀凱撒這個壞人的燃料,那它羅馬就只是個垃圾山。
在Cassius銳利的詞鋒下,Casca毫無抵抗之力,最後加入了刺殺凱撒陣營。

只剩六個月壽命的大學教授Randy Pausch,會留給我們什麼精采的人生對話呢?
🏈If you can dream it, you can do it.
🏈We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
🏈Open the encyclopedia. Open the dictionary. Open your mind.
🏈You've got to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work.
🏈Self-esteem is not something you can give; it's something children have to build.
🏈Tenacity is a virtue.
🏈The brick walls are there for a reason. They're not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
🏈Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you, but if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.
🏈Live in the moment.
🏈Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.
🏈Do not focus on little issues while ignoring the major ones.
🏈The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.
🏈Hard work is like compound interest in the bank. The rewards build faster.
🏈A good apology is like an antibiotic; a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.
🏈If you want something bad enough, never give up.
🏈Kids, don't try to figure out what I wanted you to become. I want you to become what you want to become.
🏈If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
🏆 重點句型:
🎾Left at the bottom of the box was "hope." 此為主詞與主詞補語對調的倒裝句,原句為:"Hope" was left at the bottom of the box.
🎾I insisted that she be given another ultrasound. 動詞insist表"堅持",為意志動詞之一,因此後面的that子句應為S + (should) + V,故原句為...that she should be given another...,而should省略之後留下that she be given...的形式。
🎾If I were able to live, we'd be making those mistakes together.表「與現在事實相反」的假設語氣應用過去式,而此時be動詞固定使用were。本句亦可倒裝為:Were I able to live, ...

人生總是五味紛陳,甜酸苦辣交替現身,要留住甜、體會酸、捱得苦、嚐過辣,經歷才算完整。「Son姐」張慧敏今次帶來的酸菜魚,同樣用上各種配料衝擊味蕾,混合起來卻是一道美味佳餚。Son姐希望憑魚寄意,讓心肝寶貝明白母親的一番心意。
炮製酸菜魚難度有限,反而如何在香港尋覓「酸菜」而非鹹酸菜才是難事。買不到酸菜怎麼辦?買到又要怎樣保存?魚肉怎樣醃製才又白又滑?芫荽怕不怕放得過多?毋須擔心,有Son姐教路,包你獨立自煮冇失手!
Son姐說,做這道菜同樣有段古。家中兩個孩子日漸長大,作為要求高又心急的媽媽,和孩子相處難免起爭執,期望愛女吃到喜歡的這道酸菜魚,能理解媽媽着緊全因為愛,並不是偏心:「明知細佬唔係好食得辣,我都會煮,就係希望佢知道,無論我講嘅道理佢今時今日未必明白,始終希望可以透過我為佢煮嘅食物,無論幾嬲媽咪都好,都會記得張氏家訓:不可含怒到食飯。」
常說食物不只用作填肚果腹,為家人親自下廚的料理出品,小小杯盆盛載着的,更多是溫馨和關愛。對你來說,哪一道菜才是家的味道?
