Did Jesus Christ marry Mary Magdalene and have children with her? Surely, you’re thinking, that’s the kind of sensationalist mumbo-jumbo you find only in the pages of fiction. 耶稣是否跟抹大拉的玛利亚结婚并生子了呢？也许你会想那是肯定的了，这可能只是一种你从小说里得到感觉。 In fact, The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown’s 2003 best-selling thriller, was hinged on that very premise: a secret bloodline had sprung from the union between Jesus and Mary. 实际上，丹·布朗2003年的畅销书《达芬奇密码》就是以此为前提的：耶稣和玛利亚之间存在某种隐秘关系。 But now the authors of a new book, The Lost Gospel, claim to have unearthed evidence of a manuscript which tells the story of Jesus’s two sons and his marriage to Mary. 但是最近，新书《失落的福音》的作者声称在一份手稿中找到了证据，该手稿讲述的故事中涉及到耶稣的两个儿子以及耶稣同玛利亚的婚姻。 Of course, there have been various discoveries of ‘new’ gospels over the years and allegations about a romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene have persisted for centuries. 当然，近年来有很多“新福音”的发现，称耶稣和玛利亚之间保持着长时间的恋爱关系。 Indeed, they have frequently been explored in popular culture. However, this new book focuses on a story to be found in a manuscript dating back to 570 AD and written in Syriac — a Middle Eastern literary language used between the 4th and 8th centuries and related to Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus. |
