由魔幻小说改编的电影《魔戒3:王者无敌》一上映就引起了巨大的轰动。这部小说的作者是堪称魔幻文学界泰斗的约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔·托尔金(JohnRonaldReuelTolkien.简称J.R.R.Tolkien或JRRT)。他是一名学术造诣深厚的语言学家,他根据自己对古代英语语言知识的掌握,在《魔戒》中,为精灵(Elf)们创造了一门完整的精灵语言——辛达语(Sindarin),从字母到文法一应俱全。整部小说中人物的名字和地名当然也不会是随随便便起的。据说,托尔金一般是先确定人物的名字,再根据人名来详细描写他们的性格及命运。这里就介绍小说中几个名字的来历和意义。
The movie “The Lord of the Rings 3: The Invincible King” adapted from the fantasy novel has caused a huge stir. The author of this novel is John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (J.R.R. Tolkien or JRRT), who is known as the magical literary world. He is an academic and accomplished linguist who, based on his mastery of the ancient English language knowledge, created a complete elf language for Elfs in the “Lord of the Rings”—the Sindar language ( Sindarin), everything from letters to grammar. The names and place names of the characters in the entire novel certainly do not follow casually. It is said that Tolkien generally determines the names of the characters, and then describes their character and destiny in detail according to their names. Here we introduce the origin and significance of several names in the novel.
