悲劇的誕生The Birth Of Tragedy 第130 酒神精神消失

What will become of the eternAl truths of the Dionysian and Apollinian when the styles are mixed in this fashion, as I have shown to be the essence of the stilo rappresentativo?

在這樣的混合風格中，醉境的與夢境的永恆真理將有甚麼結果呢？這種風格，象我已經分析的，乃是抒情調的因素：

A style in which music is regarded as the servant, the text as the master, where music is compared with the body, the text with the soul? where at best the highest aim will be directed toward a paraphrastic tone-painting, just as formerly in the New Attic Dithyramb?

音樂被目爲奴僕，歌詞被目爲主人；音樂比諸肉體，歌詞譬如靈魂；其最高目的，正如以前阿提刻喜劇的音樂那樣，最多不過是以聲寫情而已。

where music is completely alienated from its true dignity as the Dionysian mirror of the world, so that the only thing left to it, as the slave of phenomena, is to imitate the formal character of phenomena, and to arouse a superficial pleasure in the play of lines and proportions.

音樂業已完全拋棄它作爲醉境之明鏡的真正光榮，既已成爲現象的奴婢，就唯有模仿現象的形式因素，以線條和比例來促使一種淺薄的快感活躍起來。

Closely observed, this fatal influence of the opera on music is seen to coincide exactly with the universal development of modern music;

仔細觀察，便不難看出歌劇對音樂的致命影響是與現代音樂的普通發展彼此一致的。

the optimism lurking in the genesis of the opera and in the character of the culture thereby represented, has, with alarming rapidity, succeeded in divesting music of its Dionysian-cosmic mission and impressing on it a playfully formal and pleasurable character:

潛伏在歌劇根源和它所代表的文化本質中的樂觀主義，居然以驚人的速度僭奪了音樂的醉境之世界使命，給它打上玩弄形式和娛樂性質之烙印——

a change comparable to the metamorphosis of the Aeschylean man into the cheerful Alexandrian.

這一轉變，只有埃斯庫羅斯悲劇英雄之轉變爲亞歷山德里亞樂天人物差堪比擬。

If, however, in the exemplification here indicated, we have rightly associated the disappearance of the Dionysian spirit with a most striking, but hitherto unexplained, transformation and degeneration of the Hellenic man--

然而，在上述的例證中，我們已經正確地把酒神精神之消失、同極其明確的但尚未闡明的希臘人之轉變和退化聯繫起來；

what hopes must revive in us when the most certain auspices guarantee the reverse process, the gradual awakening of the Dionysian spirit in our modern world!

那末，假如有個最可靠的朕兆，保證相反的過程，即：在今日的世界，酒神精神方在逐漸甦醒，我們心中將恢復多麼熱烈的希望呢！

It is impossible that the divine strength of Herakles should languish forever in ample bondage to Omphale.

赫拉克勒斯的神力絕不可能永遠爲翁琺梨王后效勞，在安樂窩中消磨壯志！
