不好意思，本肥剛好路過這篇，看到中間這段手癢回一下
※ 引述《windcanblow (戲謔人生)》之銘言：
: 大家都知道托爾金著作魔戒，有著許多關於聖經的隱喻，裡面有一段是這樣寫的，
: 羅斯洛立安是中土世界裡最接近西方世界，主神們所居住的地方，美得讓人讚嘆。
: 然而在精靈眼裡，羅斯洛立安不過是倒影，因為他們之中有人看過真正的仙境，
: 那就不只是羅斯洛立安所能顯現的。但僅僅是倒影，也足以使人心碎。
: 倒影的確不是真的，然而倒影讓你隱約看出實體的美善。
Tolkien 在第二版魔戒的序是這樣寫的:
As for any inner meaning or 'message', it has in the intention of the author
none. It is neither allegorical nor topical. As the story grew it put down
roots (into the past) and threw out unexpected branches: but its main theme
was settled from the outset by the inevitable choice of the Ring as the link
between it and The Hobbit.
Other arrangements could be devised according to the tastes or views of those
who like allegory or topical reference. But I cordially dislike allegory in
all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary
enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with
its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers.
人家作者在序就是霸氣又大辣辣的說，不要腦補? OK? 偶沒有想要寫啥隱喻啥鬼的。
同樣的，聖經的作者若是上帝，而寫作的目的是要顯現自己，那應該聖經所論述的
「善」，就是無法脫離上帝的。人家就是很霸氣的說，除祂以外別無拯救，不跪
你給我去火湖游泳啦。
當然偶這樣也是腦補啦，不過偶覺得偶的腦補好像還比較接近聖經作者的原意。
