悲劇的誕生The Birth Of Tragedy 第41期:不自覺的演員

It should be made clear that this phenomenon is not singular but epidemic:a whole crowd becomes rapt in this manner.

在這場合，個人確實已經捨棄了自我而進入異己的性質中。況且，這種現象顯然是帶有傳染性的；一整羣人都感到這樣的變化。

It is for this reason that the dithyramb differs essentially from any other kind of chorus.

所以，酒神頌曲本質上與各種合唱曲不同。

The virgins who, carrying laurel branches and singing a processional chant, move solemnly toward the temple of Apollo, retain their identities and their civic names.

手持桂枝，莊嚴地走向阿波羅大廟，一邊唱着進行曲的處女們，始終不變她們的常態，而且保持她們的市民姓名。

The dithyrambic chorus on the other hand is a chorus of the transformed, who have forgotten their civic past and social rank, who have become timeless servants of their god and live outside all social spheres.

但是酒神頌歌隊卻是變態人物的歌隊，他們的市民身世和社會地位都被忘得乾乾淨淨，他們已經變成了超時間的，生存在一切社會之外的神的僕役。

While all the other types of Greek choric verse are simply the highest intensification of the Apollinian musician, in the dithyramb we see a community of unconscious actors all of whom see one another as enchanted.

其餘一切希臘抒情合唱曲不過是阿波羅祭獨唱者的極度強化而已，但是在酒神祭曲中卻是一羣不自覺的演員，他們彼此之間都見到自己發生變化。
