无字天书,解开宇宙人生密码的奥妙

勇气

中国人最缺乏的不是智慧,而是勇气、正直的品性。
(Beowulf),是基特人的英雄,
Wægmunding部族的战士Ecgþeow之子,
母亲是基特国王Hreðel的女儿。
古英语叙事长诗《贝奥武夫》,
其名字一般被解读为“战狼(Battle-Wolf)”。

贝奥武夫

贝奥武夫开始寻找巨龙的踪迹,
在洞穴中与巨龙展开殊死决战。
战斗中贝奥武夫呼唤着手下,寻求帮助。
因为恐惧,士兵无人敢于上前,
除了一名叫维格拉夫(Wiglaf)的年轻人。
维格拉夫与贝奥武夫并肩作战,
誓死追随着心中的英雄偶像。
贝奥武夫用利剑刺向巨龙,
巨龙开始反击,贝奥武夫受了伤。
最终,贝奥武夫伺机闯到巨龙身下,
将利剑深深插入巨龙腹部杀死了巨龙。
最后的英勇付出了终极的代价
--巨龙的尖牙刺穿了他的颈部。
临死前, 贝奥武夫将头盔、铠甲与利剑赠给了维格拉夫。
维格拉夫,成为了新的一代的英雄。


Beowulf is the oldest epic in English.
Drawing from Danish history and folk tales,
it was by a Northumbrian poet.
PRELUDE OF THE FOUNDER OF THE DANISH HOUSE
LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!
To him an heir was afterward born,

死期未卜,唯荣耀不移
