基加美修

基加美修(Gilgamesh)是苏美尔史诗中的一个英雄,传说他为了长生不老,不辞辛苦、长途跋涉,途中躲开了千兽百怪,终于遇一个女神,女神却对他说了这番话:

Where are you going,Gilgamesh?
The immortality you seek you will not find.
When the gods created man, the allotted death,
Keeping immortality for themselves.
Eat and drink, Gilgamesh; dance, be merry,
Bathe in clear wather and put on fresh clothes;
Cherish the little child that holds your hand;
And let your wife find love in your bosom;
For these are the joys of mankind.

你往哪里去,基加美修?
你要找的长生术永远不会找到。
众神造人之时已经安排了死亡,
只把永生留给他们自己。
吃吧,喝吧,基加美修,跳吧,快乐吧,
沐浴清水中,换上新衣裳;
疼爱你的孩子,牵着他的小手,
让妻子靠在你爱情的胸膛上。
因为,只有这些
才是属于你们人类的幸福。
