悲劇的誕生The Birth Of Tragedy 第52期:命數

Man, raised to titanic proportions, conquers his own civilization and compels the gods to join forces with him,

人類達到了鐵旦似的高度，便自己去爭取文明，強迫神靈同他們結盟，

since by his autonoMous wisdom he commands both their existence and the limitations of their sway.

因爲人類有足以自負的智慧，在手中掌握着神靈的生存與界限。

What appears most wonderful, however, in the Prometheus poem--ostensibly a hymn in praise of impiety--is its profound Aeschylean longing for justice.

然而，在普羅密修斯的頌歌 （就其基本思想來說，它是歌頌瀆神行爲之作），最可驚歎的一點，是埃斯庫羅斯的深厚的正義感：

The immense suffering of the bold individual,

一方面是果敢的“個人”受盡無限痛苦，

on the one hand, and on the other the extreme jeopardy of the gods,

一方面是神靈的末日定必到來況且已有徵兆，

prefiguring a "twilight of the gods"--the two together pointing to a reconciliation, a merger of their universes of suffering，

另這兩個痛苦境界的力量促使雙方和解而產生辯證的統一；

all this reminds one vividly of the central tenet of Aeschylean speculation in which Moira,

這一切有力地暗示了埃斯庫羅斯世界觀的中心要點，

as eternal justice, is seen enthroned above men and gods alike.

他認爲“命數”（Moira）乃是統治着神與人的永恆正義。
