盗火"和"原罪"中的文化信息

Information of Culture from Fire Stealing and Sin Suffering

希腊神话中,"盗火"英雄普罗米修斯因触犯天律,被罚缚困于冰冷而凄凉的岩石上"守望",却依然无怨无悔,始终执著于自己的信念,体现的是"人性的完美"。希伯莱的传说中,人类的祖先因人性的过失,遭受了"原罪"的惩罚,于是救赎的等待成为一种道德意志上的教化,人们从中感受到的是"神性的圣明"。"盗火"与"原罪"这两例典型折射出"两希"在民族文化上的多重差异。

In Greek mythology, for violation of the law, Prometheus was gaoled on a godforsaken rock, sticking to his belief without any resentment, which embodies humanity perfection; while in Hebrew legend, man's ancients suffered sin for humanity fault, thus wait for salvation became a process of moralrefining practice. From it people sense holy saintliness. The two cases of fire stealing and sinsuffering reflect cultural differences.
