Description
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in Cantonese: Omar Khayyam's The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated into Cantonese from the original.
Original author: Omar Khayyam. Original title: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Translated into Cantonese from the English text (the work was first written in Persian).
一千年前,波斯有個做天文同數學嘅人,喺紙邊寫低一啲四行詩:酒、玫瑰、塵土、命。佢生前冇出過詩集。八百年後,一個英國人費茲傑羅執起佢啲詩,譯成英文,就成咗英語世界最多人背得出嘅詩。
《魯拜集》講嘅嘢好簡單,亦都好狼:天堂同地獄,你邊個見過?聖人同智者拗咗一世,最後張嘴都畀塵土塞實。既然係噉,斟滿杯啦:趁玫瑰未謝,趁時間嗰隻雀仔仲未飛走。
「一卷詩書,攤開喺樹枝下嘅石頭,/一壺酒、一嚿麵包,仲有你坐喺我左右……/噉嘅荒野,就已經係樂園喇,真係夠!」
《魯拜集》全本用廣東話寫:費茲傑羅第五版一百零一首、第一版七十五首,一百七十六首全收,一首都冇刪,AABA 押韻照押粵音。
呢本書譯成中文已經超過一百年,郭沫若、黃克孫、孟祥森一路譯落嚟,用嘅都係書面語。呢個譯本就用粵文寫。
