Man in India marries a dog as stonement

印度男娶狗贖罪



(New Deli)
A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death - an act he believes cursed him - a newspaper reported Tuesday.

(新德裏)
印度南部的一名男子在一個傳統的印度教儀式上迎娶一條母狗,旨在為用石頭砸死另外兩條狗一事贖罪,他認為這一行動已經使他災難臨頭,一家報紙周二做出這樣的報道。


P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

P. 賽爾瓦庫瑪迎娶這條披著莎麗服的昔日流浪狗。狗新娘芳名塞爾維,是由他的家人百裏挑一,沐浴穿裝,而後前往該國南部泰米爾納德邦一座印度教寺廟舉行成婚大典。

注釋:
Sari,印度婦女的莎麗服,就是用整塊布或綢包頭裹身,或披肩裹身的服裝。chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, 這句話實在太長,硬譯是:由家人選中,而後為周二在該國南部泰米爾納德邦一座印度教寺廟裏舉行的成婚大典沐浴穿裝。不如拆開來譯。


Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.

33歲的賽爾瓦庫瑪告訴該報,自從15年前他把兩條狗用石頭砸死,而後把屍體吊在一棵樹上以來,他一直備受折磨。


"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report. "

“從那之後,我的腿和手癱瘓,一隻耳朵變聾 ,”他在新聞報道中說。


The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.

該報稱,一名占星家告訴賽爾瓦庫瑪結婚是治好病的唯一途徑。報紙沒有透露他的情況是否已有所改善。


Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

在印度農村地區,深度迷信的人有時操辦與狗和其他動物結為伉儷的婚禮,人們認為這樣就可以抵禦一定的災禍。


The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to the dog, which was wearing an orange sari and a flower garland.

該報還登載了一張賽爾瓦庫瑪坐在狗娘子旁邊的照片,狗媳婦身穿橙色莎麗服,還佩戴一隻花環。


The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

該報稱,新郎及其家人隨後還大開盛宴,不過狗佳人隻獲得一隻小麵包。
