《上古之歌》附錄詞表整理

《上古之歌(Voices from Early China)》 是英國語言學家散復生(Geoffrey Sampson)所著的一部《詩經》通俗讀本。
這部書的最大特色,就是用極其通俗的語言來翻譯《詩經》。書中逐行列出了《詩經》的上古漢語擬音轉寫(許思萊 OCM 體系),行文中的所有漢語專名也全都用擬音轉寫表示,讀之若有恍惚置身三代之感。

今年年初幫助自稱「老眼昏瞶(almost 80-year-old eyes)」的散復生教授重新校對了一遍此書的附錄詞表,揪出了幾個錯誤。這個表格是當初校對的結果,但不保證我的版本與書中的相契無郤。

散氏的這部著作中所用的擬音系統是許思萊(Axel Schuessler)的「OCM (Minimal Old Chinese)」擬音,但具體細節與許氏著作卻稍有不同,不知道是散氏的修改還是許氏的後續更新。

本書附錄詞表的擬音,我已收入 RIME 上古漢語輸入方案集錄,可用「上古漢語(許思萊)OC_schuesslerOC」進行輸入,散氏著作特有的擬音用「」標記。

總之,表格就在下面。表格中的 OCM 是我自己推算的。

網友「bili67100711242」對我提及散復生的擬音,所以把這個檔案找出來發在這裏,也不是什麼值得藏着掖著的。

擬音轉寫歸納

這裏的轉寫是散氏自己做的一套系統,還是比較容易見字求聲的。
