《清華六．鄭武夫人規孺子》札記

Abstract

文主要圍繞《清華六．鄭武夫人規孺子》進行討論，除了針對部分字詞、句義嘗試提出新說外，也就若干句段進行譯解，茲以三面向概要如下：一、個別字詞釋讀，如考釋簡1、12「規」字為規畫義，將簡3「姚聞」釋讀為「弔問」，另外也對於「卑耳」、「共」、「爯」等字詞進行考釋；二、語言結構，如推論「規」與賓語間為「為動」結構，方能有規畫義，賓語本身是受益者。文中亦就「今是臣臣」等結構進行分析、解釋；三、句段語意，即針對簡5「今是臣臣，其可不寶」、簡15「幾既臣之獲罪，或辱吾先君」、簡17「幾孤其足為勉，抑無如吾先君之憂何」等句分析字詞與譯解。

The main topics of this paper revolve around the Tsinghua Bamboo Slips VI, Madam Wu-Jiang Plans for Her Son. The paper provides alternative interpretations of terms and sentences and new translations of some paragraphs. The discussions proceed in three directions: (1) interpretive reading of individual characters, for example, the character ＂Guei＂ in Slips 1 and 12 should be interpreted as ＂planning,＂ the term ＂Yao-Wen＂ in Slip 3 as ＂offering one`s condolence,＂ and textual research on ＂Bei-er,＂ ＂Gong＂ and ＂Zai＂; (2) linguistic structure, for instance, the character ＂Guei＂ means ＂planning＂ only if it and the term right behind form a verb-object structure, and the object per se is a beneficiary, other structures such as ＂having able and virtuous courtiers＂ are also analyzed; and (3) semanteme and paragraph explanations, including Slip 5 ＂how can you not value these able and virtuous courtiers,＂ Slip 15 ＂how can I wait until the courtiers are incriminated and insults are inflicted on my deceased father,＂ and Slip 17 ＂how can I reluctantly try when the worries of my deceased father are not yet alleviated.＂
