《三国志》裴注词语例释二则

Explanations of Two Words in Pei’s Annotations to the Records of the Three Kingdoms

《三国志》作为“前四史”之一,其语言晦涩难懂,难以理解。裴松之所作注解多引用六朝史书、文献,对今人的阅读也有一定的阻碍。现选取“桀恶”“赠送”两个词语,根据上下语境,结合相关辞书、历史文献等对其进行考释。“桀恶”即“杰出人才、勇猛之人”之义;“赠送”即“赠别送行”之义,指“生者对死者的送行、送葬”。

As one of the“First Four Histories”,the language of“Records of the Three Kingdoms”is obscure and difficult to understand.Pei Songzhi’s annotations often cite historical books and documents of the Six Dynasties,which also hinders the reading for modern people.The authors now select the two words of“Jiee”and“Zengsong”,and based on the context,combine them with relevant dictionaries and historical documents to conduct an interpretation.“Jiee”means“outstanding talents and brave people”.“Zengsong”means“farewell and see sb off”,which refers to“the farewell and funeral of the living to the dead”.
