苦难与真相:修昔底德“雅典瘟疫叙事”的修辞技艺
Suffering and Truth:the Rhetorical Skills in Thucydides’ Narrative of the Athenian Plague
【摘要】 修昔底德借鉴了古希腊的医学与诗歌而在其"雅典瘟疫叙事"中充分描绘了令人痛苦与恐惧的疾病。然而,他对雅典瘟疫的叙述既非为了医学上的治疗,也未像诗人那样将瘟疫的产生归因于神祇,相反,他用一种精确写实的修辞手法向他的读者揭示出带有悲剧性的人类处境。修昔底德写作的文本是供私人阅读与传播的,而非面向公众的作品,这决定了他的叙事方式不属于当时面向公众的修辞风格。
【Abstract】 In his narrative of the Athenian plague,Thucydides uses ancient Greek medicine and poetry to give a full description of this painful and frightening disease.However,he does not describe the plague for the purpose of medical treatment,nor does he attribute it to the gods as the poets did;on the contrary,he uses precise rhetorical techniques to present the tragic conditions of humankind to his readers.The fact that the text was to be read and passed on privately rather than publicly determined that his narrative style was not that of public rhetoric.
