The oracle answered, "Depart from the temple with head veiled and garments unbound, and cast behind you the bones of your mother." They heard the words with astonishment. 神諭指出說(shuō):“裹起頭,松開(kāi)衣帶,出廟去,一路走一路將你們母親的尸骨丟在身后?!边@話(huà)使他們驚愕不已。
The earth is the great parent of all, the stones are her bones; these we may cast behind us; this, I think, the oracle means. 大地是萬(wàn)物之母,石頭就是她的尸骨。我們可以往身后扔石頭,我想神諭說(shuō)的就是這個(gè)意思。
