很经典英语文库第十一辑十日谈(下卷) 本书特色
为什么要给自己的作品起名为看上去希腊语味道十足的“十日谈”—— Decameron呢？从书名上就可以看得出来，薄伽丘对希腊语超级热爱。这个词由两个希腊语单词元素组成：δ?κα= déka ("十"的意思)；?μ?ρα= hēméra ("天"之意思)。合二为一，就是“十天（里发生的故事）”的意思。至于“谈”，是中文翻译时另加上去，将“发生的故事”用“谈”来诠释。1348年，意大利的佛罗伦萨爆发了大瘟疫——黑死病。第天都有无数人死在家里、街头。大批尸体被运到城外。但运送者也会因此染病而死。短短数月，死亡人数达10万以上，昔日繁华的佛罗伦萨变成了一片又一片的大坟场。后来这场瘟疫席卷了整个欧洲，欧洲人口锐减一半以上。薄伽丘深刻地感受到了这场瘟疫带来的巨大影响。他也是以这场瘟疫为背景写下相关作品的*人。小说故事发生在一远离瘟疫的乡间别墅里，一共来了十个青年男女躲避瘟疫。大家约定好以讲故事打发日子。每人每天讲一则故事，一天就产生出十个故事。《十日谈》里的故事大都是发生过的真人真事。有歌颂现世生活的，有赞美爱情的，有歌颂自由可贵的。同时，也有故事旨在揭露做官的凶残与暴虐，教会教士修女们的虚伪等。当然，其中还有故事讲诉了命运之力量对人的精神世界的操控，人的意志之力量对人的精神世界的操控。有故事还揭示人与人之间的欺诈与哄骗。其实，不难看出，薄伽丘的《十日谈》里除真人真事故事以外，还有一些故事是来自于历史事件、传说，甚至还参考了东方的某些民间故事，有些故事则感觉明显受《天方夜谭》的影响。作者将故事情节移植过来，然后冠以人文主义思想，再讲述给欧洲读者听。值得指出的是，该作品从头到尾被商业推销行为所能容忍的规范笼罩着。商业常见的小机灵，小把戏等小聪明被抬高到一个新的高度。恶意使坏、勾心斗角等行为被作者进行了某种鞭笞。在中世纪的人们来看，将忠诚、孝心这些美德与商场上的恶意使坏和勾心斗角相比，后者是不可被接受的。
