  • Many of you will recognise the resounding opening music of the film 2001:
  • 你们很多人都对电影《2001太空漫游》中被使用的这段开场音乐非常熟悉,
  • A Space Odyssey-Richard Strauss's symphonic poem,Thus Spake Zarathustra,
  • 这是出自理查德施特劳斯的交响诗《查拉图斯特拉如是说》,
  • but these days most of us are pretty unsure about what Zarathustra actually did speak, or even who he was.
  • 但极少有人知道查拉图斯特拉究竟说过什么,甚至不知道他到底是谁。
  • Which is perhaps surprising, because Zarathustra, or, as he is more widely known, Zoroaster, was the founder of one of the great religions of the world.
  • 这恐怕有点让人吃惊,因为他曾创立了世界上最伟大的宗教之一,并有一个更为人熟知的名字—琐罗亚斯特。
  • For centuries, along with Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it was one of the four dominant faiths of the Middle East.
  • 数百年来,琐罗亚斯特教与天主教、基督教、伊斯兰教并列中东四大宗教,
  • It was the oldest of the four, the first of all the text-based religions, and it profoundly influenced the other three.
  • 而且是其中最古老的,是第一个将教义用文字记录下来的宗教,对其余三大宗教有着极为深远的影响。
  • There are still significant Zoroastrian communities all over the world, especially in the religion's homeland, Iran.
  • 如今全世界仍有许多琐罗亚斯特教徒的社群,尤其是在它的发源地伊朗。
  • Indeed, the Islamic Republic today guarantees reserved seats in its parliament for Jews, Christians-and Zoroastrians.
  • 事实上,今天的伊朗伊斯兰共和国仍保证在国会中为犹太教徒、基督徒与琐罗亚斯特教徒保留特别席位。
  • In the Iran of two thousand years ago, Zoroastrianism was the state religion of what was then the Middle Eastern superpower.
  • 而在2000年前,伊朗是中东地区的强国,祆教是其国教。
  • My object today is a dramatic visualisation of power and faith in that Iranian empire.It's a silver dish from the fourth century,
  • 我今天将要介绍的是一个来自公元4世纪的银盘,
  • and it shows the king apparently out hunting-but in fact, he's keeping the world safe from chaos.
  • 它略显夸张地表现出伊朗帝国的势力与信仰,盘上的国王狩猎图蕴含着国王维护世界稳定之意。
