书籍简介

马提亚尔的诗集《隽语》是为庆祝公元80年罗马斗兽场开幕而写的，讲述了新竞技场上的表演。这位伟大的拉丁文史学家在随后的12本书中生动地记录了罗马人的生活精神。财富猎手和忙人、演说家和律师、校长和杂技演员、医生和剽窃者、美丽的奴隶和慷慨的主人，都在他诙谐的诗句中出现。我们在这里看到了剧院、公共游戏、乡村生活、宴会、圆形剧场的狮子、维苏威火山的爆发。马提亚尔的附言有时是深情的，有时是有趣的，但却总是伴随一些尖锐的声音。不过，就像他的同代人斯塔提乌斯一样，马提亚尔无耻地奉承他的主顾多米蒂安，他是罗马争议大的皇帝之一。

沙克尔顿·贝利消除了过去版本中对马蒂亚尔经常难以理解的拉丁文翻译的许多误解。这个文本主要是他1990年受到高度赞扬的Teubner版（R. G. M. Nisbet在《古典评论》中写道："大大优于其前辈"）。

这几卷书取代了早期Walter C. A. Ker翻译的洛布版（1919年）。

Written to celebrate the 80 CE opening of the Roman Colosseum, Martial's first book of poems, "On the Spectacles," tells of the shows in the new arena. The great Latin epigrammist's twelve subsequent books capture the spirit of Roman life in vivid detail. Fortune hunters and busybodies, orators and lawyers, schoolmasters and acrobats, doctors and plagiarists, beautiful slaves and generous hosts populate his witty verses. We glimpse here the theater, public games, life in the countryside, banquets, lions in the amphitheater, the eruption of Vesuvius. Martial's epigrams are sometimes obscene, sometimes affectionate and amusing, and always pointed. Like his contemporary Statius, though, Martial shamelessly flatters his patron Domitian, one of Rome's worst-reputed emperors.

Shackleton Bailey's translation of Martial's often difficult Latin eliminates many misunderstandings in previous versions. The text is mainly that of his highly praised Teubner edition of 1990 ("greatly superior to its predecessors," R. G. M. Nisbet wrote in Classical Review).

These volumes replace the earlier Loeb edition with translation by Walter C. A. Ker (1919).
