埃及女王克娄巴特拉是纪元前的历史人物,相当于我国汉代元帝遣嫁王昭君与匈奴结亲和好的时代,故而关于她的真实史料并不多见。可是,关于她的传说却是车载斗量。史学家对她的评价莫衷一是。不少著名文学家根据她的政海沉浮与恋爱故事,借题发挥,塑造了不同的形象,或把她写成放纵的荡妇,或把她写成擅长权术的政治家;或致力于描绘其艳姿绝色,或颂扬其拯救国家的功绩。好莱坞曾多次拍摄其生平的故事片,又各有所侧重。总之,影片给人的克娄巴特拉的印象也还是模糊不清的。本文作者为专攻历史和政治的美国学者;到1978年已写了九本书,其中一本题为《女统治者》,介绍了十五个历史名人。第一篇便是《克娄巴特拉》。他根据史料、当时的政情以及人们的习俗和思想意识,力图客观地介绍她的身世和功过,还她一个本来面目,有一定的史料价值。当然,作者对她的历史作用的评述,尤其是关于爱情可以决定历史进程的说法是不足取的。鉴于我国迄今关于这个历史人物的介绍甚少,特译载于此,供读者参考。
Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, is a historical figure before the age of emperors, which is equivalent to the era in which the Han Dynasty Emperor Yuan emigrated Wang Zhaojun and the Huns. Therefore, the real historical facts about her are rare. However, the legend about her is the amount of vehicle load. Historians do not agree with her. According to her ups and downs of love and love stories, many famous writers have taken the opportunity to create different images or portray her as an indulgent slut or write her as a politician who excels at the right and power; Or praise its merit in saving the country. Hollywood has repeatedly filmed the story of his life, have each focused. In short, the movie gives Cleopatra’s impression is still vague. The author of this article is a U.S. scholar specializing in history and politics. By 1978, he had written nine books, one of which was entitled “The Female Ruler” and introduced fifteen historical figures. The first is “Cleopatra.” Based on historical data, political conditions at that time and people’s customs and ideology, he tried hard to objectively introduce her life experience and merits and demerits. She also had a true identity and a certain historical value. Of course, the author’s comments on her historical role, especially on the argument that love can determine the course of history, are inadequate. In view of our country’s recent introduction of this historical figure is very small, special translation here, for readers reference.
