From now on, until soaring and the others left, this tall house is their footholds. 从现在开始,直到高飞等人离开,这间高脚屋就是他们的落脚点。 House that this uses the bushes and mangrove build, indoor area about 50 square meters, the floor is spread by the bark, the corner that sun shine grew the moss, in the season of this moist rain, the wall and floor sends out stale taste. 这间用茅草和红树搭建的房屋,室内面积约有50平方米,地板由树皮铺成,太阳照射不到的角落长了青苔,在这个湿润多雨的季节,墙壁和地板散发出一股霉味儿。 In the room has a pottery clay top, the blackened by smoke iron saucepan hangs under the eaves. 屋内有一个陶土灶台,熏黑的铁锅挂在屋檐下。 In room only ornament, is hanging under porch row of a bone that acts as the wind chimes: Pig bone, alligator spine, crane camel leg bone...... and skull of human. 屋里唯一的装饰品,就是悬挂在廊檐下的一排充当风铃的骨头:猪骨,鳄鱼脊骨,鹤驼腿骨……以及人类的颅骨。 „Asmara person had the custom of since old times preserving the family member skull, like the portrait and picture that we preserve the ancestors.” “阿斯马特人自古就有保存亲人颅骨的习惯,就像我们保存先人的肖像画和照片。” The Downing's to feeling curious companion introduced. 唐宁对感到好奇的同伴介绍道。 Soaring stands in the veranda, carefully observes these to act as the human skull of ornament, discovered that the skeleton head has two types. 高飞站在游廊中,仔细观察那些充当装饰品的人类头骨,发现骷髅头有两种类型。 Inquired to Pape and Downing, knew contour quite complete skull, after was the natural death, skull that left behind ; On another temples has the hole, or lacks the mandible, this is the master in the spoils of war that in the hunter war obtains. 向佩普和唐宁打听了一下,才晓得外形比较完整的头骨,是正常死亡后留下的头盖骨;另一种太阳穴上有窟窿,或者缺少下颌骨,这是主人在猎头战争中获得的战利品。 At this time a person walked, drew Pape to speak intimate conversation. 这时一个人走过来,拉着佩普说悄悄话。 Looks at his delighted expression, soaring to suspect that this goods is a profiteer, tries to convince Pape to help him sell the local product, regards the injustice to plant the tourist, butchers a blade ruthlessly. 看他那眉飞色舞的表情,高飞怀疑这货是个奸商,试图说服佩普帮他推销土特产,把游客当成冤种,狠狠宰上一刀。 Pape listened to that person to say silently, gave him one package of tobacco and a net bag betel nut, the opposite party accepted the gift, satisfaction smiled, beckoned to hint the tourists to follow him. 佩普默默的听那个人说完,给了他一包烟草和一网兜槟榔,对方收下礼物,满意的笑了,招手示意游客们跟他走。 „Does?” Soars to ask Pape. “去干什么？”高飞问佩普。 „Brings Bussy column that you visited just finished.” Pape aims at opposite big room, „is not interested, can.” “带你们去参观刚刚完工的比西柱。”佩普指向对面大屋,“不感兴趣,可以不去。” „Bussy column is the essence of Asmara culture, is usually rare, this is a good opportunity!” “比西柱是阿斯马特文化的精华,平时难得一见,这可是一个好机会！” Downing is interested in the folk culture very much, the enthusiasm invited everyone to visit together. 唐宁对民俗文化很感兴趣,热情邀请大家一起去参观。 Came to come in any case, soared does not mind to open mind. 反正来都来了,高飞也不介意开开眼界。 Except for the hunter and food person, Asmara Nationality the biggest contribution that makes for the world history of civilization, is its unique style woodcarving art. 除了猎头和食人,阿斯马特民族为世界文明史做出的最大贡献,就是其风格独特的木雕艺术。 Foreign visitor who arrives at the village, to visit and purchase woodcarving work most likely. 来到村落的外国游客,十有八九是为了参观和购买木雕作品。 And the most famous woodcarving artware, is „Bussy column”- totem pole that one type condensed Asmara traditional culture essence! 其中最富盛名的木雕艺术品,就是“比西柱”-一种凝聚了阿斯马特传统文化精髓的图腾柱！ The carving of Asmara person, for example the drum, shield, lance, bowl and oar and so on, are fine, but its artistic value is unable to compare favorably with Bussy column. 阿斯马特人的雕刻品,比如鼓、盾牌、矛、碗、桨之类,都非常精美,但是其艺术价值都无法与比西柱媲美。 This is one with the complex wooden pole that the mangrove forest branch carves, is not lower than 6 meters highly. 这是一根用红树林枝条雕成的复杂木柱,高度不低于六米。 On each pillar carves the ancestor head picture that one row piled up one on top of another up and down, has the qualifications to be carved, is in the tribe history very important character. 每根柱子上都雕刻了一列上下堆叠的祖先头像,有资格被雕刻上去的,都是部落历史上非常重要的人物。 On the base of pillar is carving the design of dugout canoe, snake and alligator, the bulge part that withstand/top is carving the hunter symbol. 柱子的基座上刻着独木舟、蛇和鳄鱼的图案,顶上的凸起部分刻着猎头符号。 Three dimensional detail and dynamic line on this pillar, under or linedraw manual carving without condition of rough draft. 这根柱子上的三维细节、动态线条,均是在没有草稿或画线的条件下手工雕刻。 The four limbs and face and the praying mantis, hornbill and alligator portrait/people looks like interwine, presents the ingenious fusion of strength and beautiful. 人像的四肢及面孔和螳螂、犀鸟、鳄鱼交织在一起,呈现出力量与美的巧妙融合。 Soared still saw the symbol of symbolic male and quim on Bussy column, this was the symbol of reproductive capacity. 高飞还在比西柱上看到了象征男性和女性生殖器的符号,这是繁殖力的标志。 Not only Asmara person so, in the primitive tribe art of the world, for example the totem, sculpture and mural, „reproductive worship” has manifested. 不光阿斯玛特人如此,在世界各地的原始部落艺术当中,比如图腾、雕塑和壁画,“生殖崇拜”都有所体现。 „Bussy this word, from ‚mbiu’, refers to the spirit or the soul of dead.” “‘比西’这个词,来自‘mbiu’,指的是死者的精神或灵魂。” Downing of having great learning, to soar and the others introduced significance in Bussy column in the ethnology and sociology. 学识渊博的唐宁,为高飞等人介绍比西柱在民俗学和社会学上的意义。 „In Asmara culture, the Bussy column is regarded as communication life and death two bridges.” “在阿斯马特文化中,比西柱被视为一座沟通生死两界的桥梁。” „Asmara person believes that after the person dies, will enter the second world of this mortal world, a similar hell edge- is also in the Christianity words ‚spirit thin prison Limbo’- place.” “阿斯马特人相信,人死之后,将进入尘世的第二层世界,一个类似地狱边缘-也就是基督教话语中‘灵薄狱Limbo’-的地方。” „To pass through this world to Dassas, the dead needs the help of living.” “为了穿越这层世界到达萨凡,死者需要生者的帮助。” „Asmara person advocates ‚life and death is balanced’ the dualism philosophy, death of person, was certainly caused by some enemy, direct lethal through the curse of magic.” “阿斯马特人崇尚‘生死平衡’的二元论哲学,一个人的去世,一定是由某个敌人引起的,无论是直接致死还是通过魔法的诅咒。” „Therefore, if in the middle of the tribe some people are killed, the relatives and friends must seek the revenge, to maintain the spirit to be balanced.” “因此,如果部落当中有人被害,亲友必须寻求复仇,以保持精神平衡。” „When the dead accumulates to the certain amount, the tribe leaders will summon that the clansman makes Bussy column, starts one for the purpose of resuming the world balanced hunter action.” “当死者积累到一定数量,部落首领就会号召族人建造比西柱,发动一场旨在恢复世界平衡的猎头行动。” „After Bussy column finishes, people will attack in all directions, seeks the head/number of people, and scratches the blood of victim on Bussy column, the soul on Bussy column obtains the sacrificial offering, can provide the help to the living.” “比西柱完工后,人们就会四处出击,猎取人头,并将受害者的鲜血擦在比西柱上,比西柱上的灵魂得到祭祀,就可以给生者提供帮助。” „To Asmara person, Bussy column is not only the symbol that the ancestor has, is reminding the responsibility that the living promising dead takes revenge.” “对阿斯马特人来说,比西柱既是祖先存在的标志,也是在提醒生者有为死者复仇的责任。” Finally, Downing added: 最后,唐宁补充道: „In the traditional ideas of Asmara person, if not hold Bussy ceremonial celebration, cannot arouse recalling of people, cannot gain the new head/number of people, the life and happy cannot from ancestor's world-- backflows the balanced chain of society life and death circulation, once were broken, the world will also welcome the destruction.” “在阿斯马特人的传统观念里,如果不举行比西庆祝仪式,就不能唤起人们的追忆,不能获取新的人头,生命与幸福也就不能从祖先的世界-萨凡-回流到人世间生死循环的平衡链条一旦被打破,世界也将迎来毁灭。” Soars audits her narration silently, very natural the environment great change in the world outlook and reality of Asmara person relates. 高飞默默旁听她的讲述,很自然地把阿斯马特人的世界观与现实中的环境巨变联系起来。 The Asmara area, is the current world receives the silver flashes the eruption in a big way most-affected, area „charm enrichment region”. 阿斯马特地区,是当今全球受到银闪爆发影响最严重、面积最大的“魔力富集区”。 Special police officer squad this walks, several times was under the attack of variation monster, the strength is strong enough, perhaps has died an untimely death in the journey. 特警小队这一路走来,数次遭遇变异怪物的袭击,要不是实力够强,恐怕早就横死在旅途中了。 It can be imagined, the life Asmat people indigenous people here, can realize personal compared with the external traveller the drastic deterioration of living environment, sees with one's own eyes the variation monster of open country to be getting more and more, day by day attacks the village wildly. 可想而知,生活在这里的阿斯马特族原住民,比起外来旅行者更能切身体会到生存环境的急剧恶化,亲眼看到野外的变异怪物越来越多,日益猖狂地袭击村落。 Especially in rain forest and swamp deep place that the government power cannot touch, facing the growing security threat, sees and hears monster offending somebody, the inner world of Asmara person is under the tremendous blow inevitably, how can also explain this getting stronger and stronger disaster? 特别是在政府力量触及不到的雨林和沼泽深处,面对日益增长的安全威胁,耳闻目睹怪物伤人事件,阿斯玛特人的精神世界必然受到巨大冲击,又要如何解释这场愈演愈烈的灾祸呢？ Soaring conceives is in itself a conservative Asmara person, does not understand what nonsense „silver to flash” eruption, does not understand that the periodic rise of Blue Star charm is the natural law, will definitely put the blame on the bad condition for the ghosts and gods gets angry, puts the blame on is broken for the life and death binary operation unified state of equilibrium, will therefore have so many strange demon to run from Hades, crazy killing human. 高飞设想自己是一个思想保守的阿斯玛特人,不懂什么狗屁“银闪”爆发,也不明白蓝星魔力的周期性上涨属于自然规律,肯定会把糟糕的境况归咎为鬼神发怒,归咎为生死二元对立统一的平衡状态被打破,所以才会有那么多稀奇古怪的魔物从冥府萨凡跑出来,疯狂的杀害人类。 If oneself is a Asmara person, facing such difficult position, is unable to resist the demon disaster beast tide that government gives up facing individual, what also means can have? 如果自己是一个阿斯马特人,面对这样的困境,面对个人无法抵御、政府又撒手不管的魔灾兽潮,又能有什么办法呢？ Also is not only can seek the comfort from the traditional religion, can only wanting to pin on Bussy column, expected that through holding grand Bussy ceremonial celebration comforts the wild with rage ghosts and gods a time. 还不是只能从传统宗教当中寻求安慰,只能把希望寄托在比西柱上,期望通过举行一次盛大的比西庆祝仪式来安抚狂怒的鬼神。
