摘要
亚里士多德《诗学》第9章论述简单情节与行动时,认为epeisodidês是最次的情节类型。大陆通行的罗念生、陈中梅译本将其译作"穿插式(的)",这与亚氏原意不合,易导致"穿插"进旁枝而破坏"一个行动"的误解。从亚氏描述epeisodidês这类情节的特征,并结合对古希腊悲剧的考量,epeisodidês可译作"拼凑式",较接近亚氏以epeisodidês指"古希腊悲剧中场与场之间没有可然或必然联系的情节类型"之意。对epeisodidês的误译已给汉学界的《诗学》研究造成了一系列的连带问题,不仅严重歪曲了亚氏的情节整一说等理论,更让汉学界众多学者误读了亚氏关于一般的悲剧编剧法、史诗与悲剧的异同等关键问题的论述。
When discussing simple plots and actions in Chapter 9 of Poetics,Aristotle regards ＂epeisodidês＂ as the worst type in plots.In two popular Chinese versions of Poetics translated each by Luo Niansheng and Chen Zhongmei,the word ＂epeisodidês＂ is translated into interlude.Actually,it is not in according with Aristotle＇s primary meaning certainly.Because in Chinese,the word would mislead us to regard it as an issue inserting some other irrelative plots to break one action.Combining the Greek tragedy with the features of epeisodidês plot described by Aristotle,epeisodidês should be translated into piece in order to adapt Aristotle＇s primary meaning.It is a style of plot that there is not necessity among scenes.The wrong translation of epeisodidê has led to a series of problems.It not only misrepresents Aristotle＇s theory of one plot,but also makes the readers misunderstand Aristotle＇s theory on critical problems of drama such as how to make a tragedy and the comparison between the tragedy and epic.
