George Rolfe Humphries (born November 20, 1894 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - April 22, 1969 Redwood City, California) was a poet, translator, and teacher.
"The Metamorphoses of Ovid offers to the modern world such a key to the literary and religious culture of the ancients that it becomes an important event when at last a good poet comes up with a translation into English verse." -- John Crowe Ransom"... a charming and expert English version, which is right in tone for the Metamorphoses." -- Francis Fergusson"This new Ovid, fresh and faithful, is right for our time and should help to restore a great reputation." -- Mark Van DorenThe first and still the best modern verse translation of the Metamorphoses, Humphries' version of Ovid's masterpiece captures its wit, merriment, and sophistication.Everyone will enjoy this first modern translation by an American poet of Ovid's great work, the major treasury of classical mythology, which has perennially stimulated the minds of men. In this lively rendering there are no stock props of the pastoral and no literary landscaping, but real food on the table and sometimes real blood on the ground.Not only is Ovid's Metamorphoses a collection of all the myths of the time of the Roman poet as he knew them, but the book presents at the same time a series of love poems -- about the loves of men, women, and the gods. There are also poems of hate, to give the proper shading to the narrative. And pervading all is the writer's love for this earth, its people, its phenomena.Using ten-beat, unrhymed lines in his translation, Rolfe Humphries shows a definite kinship for Ovid's swift and colloquial language and Humphries' whole poetic manner is in tune with the wit and sophistication of the Roman poet.
我的作品完成了。任凭朱庇特的怒气,任凭刀、火,任凭时光的蚕蚀,都不能毁灭我的作品。时光只能销毁我的肉身,死期愿意来就请它来吧,来终结我这飘摇的寿命。但是我的精萃部分却是不朽的,它将与日月同寿;我的声名也将永不磨灭。罗马的势力征服到哪里,那里我的作品就会被人...
评分贺拉斯的《诗艺》没有延续柏拉图的迷狂说与德谟克利特相信艺术的天才的传统,他提出的是“判断力是开端和源泉。”(这里判断力可做智慧、正确的思考等解,即“适度”、“合理”之意。)他更相信艺术除天才外也需要适度的训练与反复的修改,他更多将艺术创作拉回到理性的地位。...
评分行至幽暗的地府边缘,人界的微光已于眼前可触,但他的身后是那样悄寂,俄耳甫斯忍不住回头,看看妻子是否跟在身后。于是——誓言被打破,欧律狄刻发出小鸟一样的悲鸣,坠入黑暗的渊底。 这一回头成就了一出永恒的爱情悲剧,本不该遭受的命运降临了,人们哀叹并自警。文字于此...

评分《变形记》这个名字以它的神秘、纯净吸引着我们,原来早在卡夫卡之前它已经众人皆知、大放光彩了。“我心里想要说的是形象如何变成新物体的事。天神啊,请让我把这支歌儿绵绵不断从开天辟地一直唱到今天。”古罗马诗人奥维德便是要凭借他奇妙而又细腻的想象力给我们讲述一个又...
翻译得太美了 尤其是最后一章 “It will endure, I trust, beyond Jove's anger, fire and sword, beyond time's hunger...part of me, the better part, immortal
评分下载了Audible听。每天睡前洗漱的时候重温这些老故事,语音比读书更多了一点听故事的感觉。诸神什么的,真是暴躁的一群家伙哎
评分翻译得太美了 尤其是最后一章 “It will endure, I trust, beyond Jove's anger, fire and sword, beyond time's hunger...part of me, the better part, immortal
评分但是读起来还是不乏有一点痛苦的。。Apollo和Daphne故事的写得太棒了。整体打造出了宏大并且富于神性的史诗感。和小学时候看的古希腊神话故大体情节类似,但是具体人物名字似乎不一样,细节也有不同之处。
评分翻译得太美了 尤其是最后一章 “It will endure, I trust, beyond Jove's anger, fire and sword, beyond time's hunger...part of me, the better part, immortal
