→ amorch:我猜Jorace是羅馬詩人Horace(他有幾首頌歌是獻給Bacchus的) 01/05 21:50

BACCHUS, n.
A convenient deity invented by the ancients as an excuse for getting drunk.
Is public worship, then, a sin,
That for devotions paid to Bacchus
The lictors dare to run us in,
And resolutely thump and whack us?
Jorace
酒神巴克斯 [名]
古人為了方便而發明的神祇，以作為喝醉酒的藉口。
難道說信仰是罪
奉獻予酒神之祭
斧兵竟逮捕我輩
不留情又打又踢
不知道詩能不能譯得更雅一點或更有韻律一點？
不知道 Jorace 是真有其人還是 Ambrose Bierce 虛構的人物？
