伊朗人看到一对情侣情意绵绵、如胶似漆时,喜欢称他们为“麦杰农”和“莱拉”。麦杰农和莱拉的传说,就象我国的梁山伯和祝英台一样,在伊朗家喻户晓。然而有趣的是,麦杰农和莱拉并不是伊朗人,而是阿拉伯人,是阿拉伯古代民间故事中的两个主人公。那么,为什么伊朗人对阿拉伯的这个民间故事如此熟悉呢?我们还是先从这个故事谈起吧!阿米里亚部落的酋长虽然家财无数,但却因没有儿子而烦忧。他每天敬祷上苍,祈求赐他一子。后来终于生了个儿子,取名盖斯。 Iranian people see a pair of lovers, like gluey, like to call them “McKinnon” and “Laila.” The legends of McKinnon and Laila, like our Liangshanbo and Zhu Yingtai, are well-known in Iran. Interestingly, however, McJennon and Laila are not Iranians, but Arabs, the two protagonists in ancient Arab folktales. So why are Iranians so familiar with this folktale in Arabia? Let’s start with the story. The chiefs of the Ameriian tribe, though rich in money, are worried about having no son. He prayed daily to God and prayed to give him one child. Finally gave birth to a son, named Gai Si.
