chapter 11
Edoras, Rohan. the land of the Horse Lords
"you'll find more cheer in a graveyard." Gimli said, looking at the lot of not very happy people.
"what happened here?" Serafina asked in Sindarin.
"I don't know." Legolas answered also in Sindaring, "it's bond to have something to do with the king and Saruman."
Gandalf halted Shadowfax by the staircase leading to the Hall of the King. Legolas got off Arod and told the horses to wait while the five people went to see the king.
at the gates of the hall, they were stopped by a few guards.
"I cannot allow you before Theoden the King so armend, Gandalf Greyhame." the head guard adressed Gandalf.
Gandalf opened his mouth to speak but before he could utter a sound, the guard interrupted him. " by order of Grima Wormtongue."
Gandalf thought for a second and nodded at the rest. everyone started to take off their weapons.
"your staff." the guard said to Gandalf after everyone had handed their weapons to the other guards.
"oh." Gandalf looked at him sadly, "you wouldn't part an old man from his walking stick."
Legolas could swear that he saw Aragorn drawn the corners of his mouth. he two tried hard to suppress a smile. anyone who knew the least bit about Gandalf knew that he was not "an old man who walks with a stick".
Legolas noticed the many soldiers by the door and exchanged a look with Serafina.
"the courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Theoden King." Gandalf said, his voice rid of any emotions.
Grima whispered something beside Theoden's ear and the King of Rohan started to speak: "why should I welcome you Gandalf Stormcrow?" he spoke in a slow ragged hoarse voice.
Grima whispered again by Theoden's ear and stood up. "late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear. Lathspell I named him." he walked toward the group of five and haulted infront of Gandalf. "ill mews is an ill guest."
"be silent. keep your forked tongue behind your teeth." Gandalf's tone was mad, "I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm." he raised his staff.
"his staff!" Grima gasped, "I told you to take the wizard's staff!" he shouted at the guards.
the soldiers that stood by the gates ran toward Gandalf to take his staff by force but the other four weren't on the field for nothing. Legolas and Aragorn took off the men on each side of them, and Serafina and Gimli took care of those behind them, so that Gandalf could do what he came to do without any disturbance.
Gandalf tried to release him from the spell, but Theoden started to laugh evilly.
"you have no power here," he sneered. "Gandalf the Grey."
Gandalf frowned and pulled off his grey cloak, revealing the white one inside. "I wlii draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound." he pointed his staff at Theoden.
the king seemed to be hit by an invisible force, and leaned back in pain. just at this moment, a young lady with blond hair dressed in white entered the room. she saw Theoden and ran toward him but Aragorn grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
with a final blast, Gandalf drew Saruman out of Theoden. the King of Rohan staggered. the girl in white broke free from Aragorn and supported him. blood colors started to return to Theoden's face. he looked at the girl as of rousing from a dreadful dream.
"I know your face." he murmured, "Eowyn."
the girl called Eowyn smiled releafingly.
Theoden looked up, saw Gandalf, and gasped. "Gandalf?"
"breathe the free air again, my friend." the white wizard said.
Theoden stood up, "darkness have been my dreams of late." he looked down at his hands.
"your fingers would remember their old strength better, if they grasped your sword." Gandalf answered the question unasked.
Theoden reached out, pulled his sword from it's hilt and raised it infront of him. he glared at Grima. guards grabbed Grima's arms and threw him out of the hall.
也是另一个没什么用的华点
在精灵文化语境的高低上,虽然就Tolkien的原设而言罕有明确的表示,但是对于普遍印象来说,对会用“Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo. (一颗)星星闪耀在我们相见的时刻)”问候的精灵而言,如果要跨次元选一句喜欢的话来表示自己对某人的深情,显然“蒹葭苍苍,白露为霜,所谓伊人,在水一方”或者“Are you going to Scarborough Fair,Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme,Remember...
在精灵文化语境的高低上,虽然就Tolkien的原设而言罕有明确的表示,但是对于普遍印象来说,对会用“Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo. (一颗)星星闪耀在我们相见的时刻)”问候的精灵而言,如果要跨次元选一句喜欢的话来表示自己对某人的深情,显然“蒹葭苍苍,白露为霜,所谓伊人,在水一方”或者“Are you going to Scarborough Fair,Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme,Remember me to one who lives there,She once was a true love of mine.”比起“对面的女孩看过来”更符合精设,后者如果不是个体特例,会有种群体性OOC的感觉。
托尔金曾经谈到自己笔下的精灵“与欧洲的精灵或仙子几乎没有共同之处”,他们“代表了具有更高艺术能力、更美丽和更长寿命的人”,其实这并不难想象,当一种文化与“优雅古老神秘”挂钩时,在人们的潜意识里,她很容易被联想为一种中高语境的文化,处于这种文化的成员会被期待对于自然和世事有更加细腻丰富的感受,能通过更加“准确高明”的方式妥当体贴不失身份地表达自己的情感和意图(再加上精灵作为种族的确相对人类,与阿尔达有着更深切的联系),对于处于奇幻作品中的个人而言,这是一种社交手段,也是一种展现自身人格魅力的方式。
(但是在三次元现实人际交往中,大量言语间的玄机常常藏满了利益考量的因素,中高语境文化也无法彻底与水一般粘稠,甚至让人窒息的人际关系完全分开)
与此同时,“神秘种族”的神秘也往往需要“含蓄”作为挑动人心的面纱,“我爱你”比“I love you ”更加炽烈,就是因为前者意味着所有的面纱都已被揭开。霍比特人中,彼得杰克逊对密林父子互动的表现多少体现了“优雅古老神秘”与“中高语境文化”的关系。
这重关系的另一个变体是对精灵战力的想象,虽然大家都知道精灵勇猛善战,能以一敌百,但我可以打赌绝大多数人的脑海里,一浮现出精灵战士,就是穿衣显瘦,脱衣有肉,一浮现出精灵打戏,就联想到飞檐走壁,轻盈敏捷,远程射箭百发百中,短兵相接剑如霜雪,如果精灵突然变成了漫威英雄,多少也会让人掉San,因为某种程度上,力量与威慑力也和内在的情感一样,如同随时准备出鞘的剑和面纱下的惊世容颜,是需要含而不露的。
这种“远道而来,终将归去,且异于凡人”的特性在电影Hobbit里,体现为一种细节上的Orientality,除了不少粉丝分析出的边角料,如样式接近日本刀的佩刀,横放的拨弦乐器外,还有一个明确的官设细节:Thranduil极其喜欢兰花。
(所以彼得杰克逊嗅着温度和湿度从北大西洋暖流一路追踪到了东北亚季风区)
PS:比起精灵,在Tolkien本人的设定上,矮人群体带着更明显的Oriental characteristics,矮人操以辅音为词根的语言,这是闪含语系的特征,他们贪婪的弱点多少体现着欧洲和阿拉伯农业统治者对犹太人的印象,而他们苏醒地和居住地的气候则让人想起高海拔地带的游牧民,但这和精灵种族在影视表现时体现的Orientality,又是另外一回事了。

today something unexpected happened. the patrols of the elves found me. I didn't know how they did that. they tracked me down through at least a qualter of the forest. finally I got rid of their tracking. I should be more careful.

“兽人血。”吉姆利注意到一丛灌木的叶子上沾染了一些黑褐色的液体。四人已经在这片树林里转了十多分钟,但是他们得到的唯一一个信息就是两个霍比特人可能还活着。阿拉贡和金厉在泥泞的地面上跑着,但是洁癖是精灵和龙族的通病,所以莱戈拉斯和塞拉芬娜选择从一块石头或树根跳向另一块。
“这些是奇怪的足迹。”阿拉贡再次弯下腰研究地面。
“这里的空气太压抑了。”
“这片森林很古老。”莱戈拉斯环顾四周。高大的树木和宽阔的枝条形成了森林,“非常老。”
“我上次来的时候,这些树还没有斩风龙高。”塞拉芬娜捡起一根从不知道是哪棵树上折断的小树枝。

“兽人血。”吉姆利注意到一丛灌木的叶子上沾染了一些黑褐色的液体。四人已经在这片树林里转了十多分钟,但是他们得到的唯一一个信息就是两个霍比特人可能还活着。阿拉贡和金厉在泥泞的地面上跑着,但是洁癖是精灵和龙族的通病,所以莱戈拉斯和塞拉芬娜选择从一块石头或树根跳向另一块。
“这些是奇怪的足迹。”阿拉贡再次弯下腰研究地面。
“这里的空气太压抑了。”
“这片森林很古老。”莱戈拉斯环顾四周。高大的树木和宽阔的枝条形成了森林,“非常老。”
“我上次来的时候,这些树还没有斩风龙高。”塞拉芬娜捡起一根从不知道是哪棵树上折断的小树枝。
“你上次来是什么时候?”莱戈拉斯猜测是在她被封印在冰川里之前。
“我记不太清了,但当时距离我的‘点名’只有几年了。”
“这些森林最早出现在第二纪元的早期。”阿拉贡眯起眼睛看着西尔瓦娜,“你多大了,塞拉?”
“2919岁,比莱戈拉斯小十二岁。”
“这些树一定和你出生时一样高。”吉姆利暴躁的说道,“别胡说八道了。”
希尔瓦娜把树枝扔到远处,“这是事实。我在这些树还很年轻的时候就见过它们。”
“那是不可能的。”吉姆利笑道。
“不。这是可能的。”莱戈拉斯突然开口了,“她被封冻在冰川里差不多三千年。”
“这片树林充满了回忆和愤怒。”树林里回荡着细小的声音,“树木在互相说话。”
莱戈拉斯突然转头,看着吉姆利。矮人正紧紧拿着他的斧头。
“放下你的斧头。”阿拉贡轻声说道。
吉姆利犹豫了。
“他们有感情,我的朋友。”莱戈拉斯告诉他。吉姆利放下了斧头。
“精灵们开始的,不是吗?”塞拉芬娜问道。“唤醒树木,教他们说话。”莱戈拉斯默认了。
“会说话的树。”吉姆利喃喃自语。“树木有什么好谈的?除了松鼠粪便的稀稠以外。”
“附近有什么东西。”莱戈拉斯突然用辛达林语说道。
“你看到了什么?”阿拉贡问道。
“白袍巫师正在靠近。”莱戈拉斯低声回道。他用眼神示意其他人警戒。
“不要让他说话。他会给我们施咒。”阿拉贡低声说道。他抓住剑柄,把剑拔出一半。
莱戈拉斯向弓上搭好一支箭。吉姆利紧紧握住斧头,准备进攻。塞拉芬娜慢慢地从后口袋里掏出飞刃,轻轻地向莱戈拉斯走尽了一步,将他稍微挡在身后。
“我们必须够快。”阿拉贡说。
一瞬间,四人同时出手了。塞拉芬娜向白光环绕的巫师扔了起码四把飞刃,莱戈拉斯也放出箭,但巫师用他的法杖将它们全部扫走了。阿拉贡的剑燃烧了起来,他只得被迫松开手。吉姆利扔出斧头,却被巫师用法杖挡住了。塞拉芬娜四周突然出现了淡紫色的光晕,下一刻,众人眼前就出现了一条八米多长的白龙。它浑身覆盖着闪光的白色鳞片,向巫师扑来。他用巫师的法杖一扫,将白龙从空中击落。它背朝下摔在了地上,顺势滚了一圈,站起来,张开了嘴。紫色的光芒与蓝色的光芒混合在一起,开始在它的喉咙里形成,但随后开始变暗。 它又试了一次,然后放弃了。
“你在追踪两个年轻霍比特人。” 巫师说道。
“他们在哪里?”阿拉贡问道。
“他们前天就从这里经过了,”巫师回答。“他们遇到了一个他们意想不到的人。这能安慰你吗?”
“你是谁?”阿拉贡又问道。很难从声音中分辨出他到底是朋友还是敌人。“现身!”
灯光变暗,露出一张最意想不到的脸。是甘道夫!
“这不可能。”阿拉贡低声说。
“原谅我。”莱戈拉斯单膝跪地,“我把你误认为是萨鲁曼。
“我是萨鲁曼,或者说是,萨鲁曼应该成为的人。”甘道夫回答道。
“你跌了下去……”
阿拉贡和吉姆利转过身来,惊讶地看到龙在说话。莱戈拉斯似乎没有被吓到,甘道夫也没有,他接过了它的话。
“穿过烈火和洪水。”甘道夫随后告诉了他们他与炎魔战斗并最终幸存下来的经历。
“甘道夫。”阿拉贡说。
“甘道夫,”甘道夫重复了一遍自己的名字,“他们以前就是这样称呼我的,灰袍甘道夫。那是我的名字。 ”
“甘道夫。”吉姆利也叫了巫师的名字。
“我现在是白袍甘道夫。”甘道夫对着四人微微点了点头,“我现在回到你们身边,在局势扭转之时。”他顿了顿,看向白龙。“我还以为你凭借你的嗅觉能够认出我。“
淡紫色的光芒开始在龙的周围形成,随着一阵光芒,塞拉芬娜再次出现在那条龙的位置。
“你知道,当你转变成白袍巫师的时候,气息上的变化非常大。”塞拉芬娜轻声说。

ada还是不允许我加入守卫,但我已经67岁了!我偷偷溜了出去,想要证明我足够坚强。到了中午,我发现有什么在跟踪我。那是是一个女孩。她棕色的卷发使她看起来非常可爱。她问我能不能和我一起玩,我同意了。她看起来像个人类,但她的身手过于灵巧以至于她不可能是个人类。于是我问她她是什么,她给了我一个非常奇怪的回答。她说她不是一如之子。她的同族是天空的精灵,繁星的追随者,是阿尔达有史以来最奇妙的存在之一。她说她的名字叫佩卡拉,我告诉她我叫绿叶。我们一直玩到日落。我希望她和我一起回林地王国,ada一定会欢迎她。但她说她必须走了,所以我告诉她我明天会在这里等她。她告诉我如果可以的话她会来的。
我回去的时候把佩卡拉的事告诉了ada。我告诉他她告诉我关于她的种族的事情。ada看起来既担心又生气。他告诉我永远不要再回到那里去见她了。我怕他吩咐守卫去追杀她。他告诉我,如果我再不会去找她,他就不让卫队去把她杀死。所以我答应不再找她。我很难过,因为她明天在那里找不到我了。

ada didn't allow me to join the guard again! but I'm already 67. I went into the woods alone to prove I'm tough enough. by noon, I was aware of another presence besides me. it was a girl following me. she had brown curls that made her look very cute. she asked me whether she could play with me or not and I agreed. she looked like mankind but she was so skilled in traveling in trees that she couldn't be. when I asked her, she gave me a very confusing answer. she said she was no children of Ilúvatar, that her kind are the elves of the sky, the followers of the stars and one of the most magnificent being ever created in arda. she said her name is Pekkala and I told her that my name is Greenleaf. we stayed together until sunset. I told her that ada will welcome her if she go back to the hall of the Woodland Realm with me for the night. but she said she had to go, so I told her I would meet her again here tomorrow. she told me that she would if she can.
I told ada about Pekkala when I went back. I told him what she had told me about her kind. ada looked worried and angry. he told me never to go back there to see her ever again. I was afraid that he would told the guard to hunt her down. he told me he won't if I would never go find her again. so I promised not to seek her again. I feel bad because she would go there tomorrow and find no sign of me.

I saw an elf today. he's very lovely, and very cute, too, although he is older than me. I found him in the woods alone. he said his name was Greenleaf, and he ran away from home because his ada (he told me that's how elves call their father) didn't let him join the guard. we played together until nightfall. for the first time since I was brought back to life, I felt carefree and happy. when I told Airilla about him, she was terrified. she worried that he would expose our presence. but somehow, I felt that he wouldn't, and I could trust him. Airilla told Joss, who decided that we should leave Mirkwood for a while.

我们到了幽暗密林。林子里四处都是巨大的蜘蛛网和一些恐怖的白痴深林蜘蛛。这片林子里的树木都非常高大。在它还没有被黑暗侵蚀的时候一定和银纱森林一样美丽。我觉得我们三个住在这里是最好的选择,因为这比住在人类城镇里更加安全。在人类城镇里,早晚会有人发现我们在无翼人形下手腕上的鳞片,在密林里起码不会。我告诉我的中尉们保持人形,以免引起任何不该引起的注意力。我还告诉他们尽可能保持无翼状态。
