Marvelous Adventures of Väinämöinen

柯日马 卡勒瓦拉

Kerimaa is a small 100 hectare area in eastern Finland, on the fringe of

the city of Savonlinna where nowadays locates the recreation centre and

holiday complex of Kerimaa. Kerimaa has an honourable past and

glorious history in the distant ancient time.

柯日马位于芬兰东部，只有 100 公顷，在萨翁林纳市的边缘。萨翁林纳现在位

于柯日马的重建中心以及柯日马的假日综合酒店。柯日马在远古时代有着光辉

的过去和荣耀的历史。

KERIMAA – MYTHOLOGY 柯日马——神话

The ancient history of Kerimaa is closely related to the myths of creation of the

world and the early world views held by the Kalevala people, which in the first

half of the 19th century were represented by Elias Lönnrot, Finnish

ethnographer, in “Kalevala”, the Finnish national epic.

柯日马的古代历史与卡勒瓦拉人的开辟天地的神话以及卡勒瓦拉人持有的早期

世界观紧密相连，19 世纪上半世纪芬兰民族学学者艾里阿斯·隆洛特在芬兰史

诗《卡勒瓦拉》里有表述。

During his several folk tale collecting field trips, Lönnrot collected folk stories

and songs from a vast geographical area. The volume of the folklore materials

gathered by Lönnrot and other researchers at that time was immense, and only

small portion of it was included in the final version of the “Kalevala” epic.

“Kalevala” neither includes nor represents the entire range of popular

mythology and folk tales, which had for centuries been transferred from

generation to generation in the form of oral legends, songs, runes, fairy tales,

riddles and sayings. An even greater amount of folklore materials has been

simply neglected and forgotten, maybe forever.

在他的一些民间故事收集实地考察旅行期间，隆洛特从辽阔的的地理区域收集民

间故事和歌曲。隆洛特和其他研究人员收集的民间传说是很大量的，但只有很小

一部分收录在最终版本的史诗《卡勒瓦拉》里。《卡勒瓦拉》既不包括也不代表

整个范围的这几个世纪以来一直代代相传口头形式的传说、歌曲、诗歌、童话故

事、谜语和名言的流行神话和民间传说。更大数量的民间传说材料被简单地忽略

和遗忘，也许会是永远。

Many researchers hold a view that Kerimaa is a synonym to Kalevala, but,

according to the findings of Kerimaa explorers, this ancient superpower and its

history in early ages expanded far outside the boundaries of Kalevala.

According to the official point of view, Kalevala in the broad sense of this name

is the geographical area that comprises Fennoscandia, the Baltic States and

the regions to the west of Russian Siberia. Whereas mythical Kerimaa was

regarded by ancient people as the whole world. So, Kerimaa has amalgamated

the myths of the initial creation and the prehistory of all peoples of the world.

许多研究者认为柯日马是卡勒瓦拉的同义词。但是，根据柯日马探险家的发现，

这古代超级大国，在其历史早期就扩张至卡勒瓦拉边界以外。根据官方的观点来

看，卡勒瓦拉这个名字是广义的地理区域，包括芬诺斯坎迪亚，波罗的海国家和

俄罗斯西伯利亚西部的地区。而神话柯日马被古人视为整个世界。所以，柯日马

是创世神话和世上所有人的史前世界的合并。

All researchers agree that the centre of the great power of Kalevala was at the

current location of the Kerilandia homestead in the Kerimäki municipality of

today’s Finland. They locate in Savonlinna and nowadays they form the

resort-village and leisure area of Kerimaa.

所有研究人员都同意大国卡勒瓦拉的中心在当今芬兰凯里迈基直辖市的凯里兰

迪亚家园。它们在萨翁林纳，而且如今形成了柯日马的度假村和休闲区。

The etymology of the name Kerimaa. 柯日马一词的词源。

The name Kerilandia has been introduced by the Roman historian Tacitus (55 –

120 A.D.). Tacitus also writes about the Fenni meaning the Finns and the

Laplanders.

这个名字凯里兰迪亚由罗马历史学家塔西佗(公元 55 -公元 120 年) 引入。塔西

佗也写了关于芬妮是芬兰人和拉普兰人的意义。

A Greek explorer Pytheas (approx. 380-310 AD), who lived 400 years before

Tacitus, is known to have visited in Kerimaa approximately in the year 320 AD.

Pytheas called the area Ultima Thule (Thula, Thyle and Tile).

希腊探险家皮西亚斯(约公元 380 年-公元 310 年)，在塔西佗之前活了 400 岁，

大约在公元 320 年去了柯日马。皮西亚斯把那个区域叫做天涯海角 (图拉，赛尔

和蒂勒)。

The Finnish name for Kerilandia is Kerimaa and it is called Kerimua in the

ancient Finnish dialect Savo. Other names are also used, such as Kalevala,

Kaleva, Kalevalan kankaat (Kalevala pine woods), Väinölä (by old shaman

Väinämöinen).

凯里兰迪亚的芬兰的名字叫做柯日马，在古代芬兰萨沃方言叫作柯日木。也曾使

用过其他名字，比如卡勒瓦拉，卡勒瓦，卡勒瓦拉卡纳特(卡勒瓦拉森林)，以及

维那诺拉(古老的巫师维那莫宁)。

Despite the fact that the history of Kerimaa is part of the “Kalevala” epic which

comprises 50 runes (songs), scientists in different countries involved in the

research about Kerimaa-Kerilandia started to compose its own history.

The results of their work will be later presented in the Kerimaa web pages.

尽管柯日马的历史是史诗《卡勒瓦拉》（由五十首歌曲组成）的一部分，不同国

家的科学家参与到了柯日马-凯里兰迪亚的研究，并开始谱写自己的历史。

他们工作的结果后来放到了将在 Kerimaa web 网页上。

1.THE LEGEND OF GIANTS AN GREAT STONES 巨人和巨石传说

In ancient times, ice covered half of the territory of the whole world. The

Kingdom of Ice was populated by giants, trolls, goblins, witches and a horde of

all kinds of gnomes. Giants fought with people, while trolls daunted everybody

who dared to enter primeval forests. People were of small stature, but very

brave and sturdy. And the Sun was with people. Little by little, people advanced

their settlements farther and farther to the north, and the territory of the

Kingdom of Ice was shrinking. Again and again, Giants and trolls had to leave

their places of abode under the pressure of people and retreat to even more

remote corners of Pohjola.

在远古时代，世界的一半都被冰覆盖。 冰的王国上住着巨人，巨魔，妖精，巫

师以及各种各样的矮人。巨人和人类打斗，而巨魔则恐吓每一个胆敢进入原始森

林的人。人类随人身材矮小，但非常勇敢坚强。而且，太阳是随着人的。渐渐地，

人类的定居点靠近北方，冰王国的领土在萎缩。一次次地，巨人和巨魔在人类的

压力下不得不离开他们的住所，向波赫约拉偏僻的边缘撤退。

Finally, giants lost their patience and flew into a rage seeing that they are being

deprived of their native land. At that time, rough cliffs emerged from under the

thawing ice. Giants crushed the cliffs and started throwing huge blocks of rock

at people. One of such stones can be seen now in Kerimaa-Kerilandia, but they

are also found throughout Finland, in Scandinavia, the Baltic States and even in

other European countries. In Europe, they are called megaliths. People have

used them to build high palaces, monuments and mysterious ritual structures

(for example, Stonehenge). Some stones thrown the farthest can be seen in

Mecca and even in Australia (Ayers Rock).

最终，巨人失去了耐心，看到它们被剥夺的故土，非常生气。那时，粗犷的悬崖

开始从融化的冰层显露出来。巨人压碎那些悬崖，开始向人们扔大块的石头。现

在，这样大块的石头可以在柯日马看到，而且可以在整个芬兰，在斯堪的纳维亚，

波罗的海诸国 ，甚至在其他欧洲国家看到。在欧洲，它们被称之为巨石。人们

用它们来建造高高的宫殿、纪念碑以及神秘仪式的建筑（比如说，巨石阵）。一

些石块最远可以扔到麦加，甚至是澳大利亚(艾尔斯巨石)。

2.THE LEGEND OF THE GREAT STONE OF KERIMAA

柯日马巨石传说

Giant Ymir is throwing large boulders

巨人伊米尔在扔大块的岩石。

The ice that covered in the ancient times the whole world started to thaw little by

little and the border of the Kingdom of Ice was slowly receding northwards.

Enraged giants, the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Ice started throwing stones

southwards.

远古时代覆盖世界的冰开始一点点融化，冰之王国的边境慢慢地向北退。冰之王

国的居民，暴怒的巨人开始向南扔石块。

Väinämöinen, wise old man, who lived in his homeland of Kerimaa, once was

walking about, when suddenly a huge stone thudded just beside him.

维那莫宁，一位睿智的老人，居住在他的故乡，柯日马。有一次走路时，突然一

块巨石落在他的旁边。

Väinämöinen looked at the stone in amazement and said (free translation):

维那莫宁惊奇地看着石头，说（意译）：

“The stone seemed not a trivial one,

Tremendous boulder stone it was,

One hundred fathoms tall it stood,

Five miles breadth ways the stone lay.”

石头看起来并不小，

它是块大的岩石，

站起来有一百英寻高，

躺下有五英里宽。

(A poem not included in “Kalevala”)

（本诗未被收录在《卡勒瓦拉》）

Väinämöinen built a home under the stone and used it for temporary staying

during his long travels and fishing. On the Kannantakainen lake, taimen and

vendace fishing was good, the surrounding woods were full of sweet berries

and mushrooms. From time to time, Väinämöinen was lucky in his skiing chase

after an elk in the thick lonely woods of Huosio.

维那莫宁在石头下建了一个房子，用作他旅行以及钓鱼期间的暂时停驻点。卡耐

特凯恩湖里的哲罗鱼和白鳟鱼很不错，周围的树林里也遍布甜莓和蘑菇。有时，

维那莫宁会很幸运地在茂密偏僻的霍西奥森林里追逐麋鹿。

Once upon a time, Väinämöinen assumed the demanding duties of Santa

Claus and went out for his Christmas voyage to children throughout the world –

during this voyage he needed a place to have a rest and stay at night.

Väinämöinen remembered the stone in Kerimaa and the hunting lodge

arranged there. This hunting lodge was chosen to be the resting place during

his long travels. So, every Christmas Santa Claus and his gnomes stop for a

rest under the Kerimaa stone, then they continue their voyage with presents to

children.

有一次，维那莫宁假装要履行圣诞老人的职责，他要为全世界的儿童来一次圣

诞之行，因此他需要一个可以在晚上休息和睡觉的地方。维那莫宁记起柯日马的

石头和在那里的狩猎小屋。这个小屋就被他选作这次长途旅行的休息点。所以圣

诞老人和他的小矮人们就在柯日马巨石下休息停留，然后继续他们给儿童送礼物

的行程。

3.DELUGE 洪水

More or less all of the old legends and religions have a tale about the great

deluge. The myth of deluge can be found from over 150 folks and there are

hundreds of different versions of it. Every myth has similar features and many of

the respected researchers are agreeing that they are deriving from real,

genuine event in the blurry prehistory.

所有的古老的传说和宗教信仰都或多或少地提到了洪水的故事。我们可以在超过

150 个民间故事中看到洪水的神话，而且有数百个不同的版本。每个神话都有相

似的人物，而且很多德高望重的学者认为他们都衍生于模糊的背景下的真实的事

件。

What did really take place back then? According to an early version of Kalevala

in the very beginning there was the Primordial Sea covering the whole surface

of the Earth for many infinities. Young Väinämöinen floated alone in the

enormous sea for hundreds of years without any knowledge of what life could

be. One day, Väinämöinen got a vicious cramp and sank several kilometres to

the depths of the sea before reaching the bottom. If someone else had been in

his shoes, the story wouldn’t have ended well. But Väinömöinen, being young

and strong as ever at that time, pounded the sea bottom with his fists and

created a hole in to the Earth’s crust. The water began to flow inside the hot and

fiery Earth’s crust. The water level descended and the mountains, gullies and

plateaus got exposed from the sea. After a while of trickling, Väinömöinen

rolled a big stone to cover the hole in order to prevent the disappearance of all

the water from the surface of the Earth. Väinämöinen pushed from the bottom

and after reaching the surface he glanced around with amazement. Kerimaa

and the whole world unfolded before his eyes. There were Kannantakainen and

Sylkynjärvi, and a bit farther Puruvesi and Saimaa. The rivers were rus hing and

the moist ground began to increment trees and bushes.

当时究竟发生了什么？根据卡勒瓦拉的一个早期的版本，最初是原始海洋覆盖整

个地球无限的空间。年轻的维那莫宁独自一人在浩瀚的海洋上漂流几百年，不知

道生活该是什么样子的。 一天，维那莫宁抽筋很严重，下沉几千米才到达大海

底部。如果是别人处在这种情况，不会有好的结局。但那时的维那莫宁一如既往

的年轻强壮，他用拳头敲打海底地壳，在地壳上弄出了一个洞。水开始流向火热

的地壳。水位下降，山峰，沟壑和平原显露了出来。流了一段时间后，维那莫宁

滚来一块大石头堵住洞口，以防地球上的水从表面全部流失。维那莫宁从海底爬

出，到了地表，惊奇地环视周围。柯日马和整个世界都展现在他的眼底。卡耐特

凯恩和赛尔科亚贾维，以及更远的塞马湖。河水很急，湿润的地面开始长出树木

和灌木。

Even today in the north end of Kerimaa’s lake “Kannantakainen” there is an

opening in the depth of tens of kilometres, which is enclosed by a big stone

leading to the bottom of the Earth’s crust.

即使今天，在柯日马湖的最北边““卡耐特凯恩””，仍有一个深数十千米的口子，

被一块巨石封住，直至地壳底端。

Nowadays Kerimaa’s Kannantakainen is a small lake full of fish. Divers are able

to see the stone in the bottom of the lake. The stone should not be moved,

since even the rest of the lakes and seas of the world would dash straight inside

the Earth’s burning crust.

现在柯日马的“卡耐特凯恩”湖是一个很小的湖，里面满是鱼。潜水员能看到湖底

的石头。石头应该不能移动，因为会使其他的湖和海直冲燃烧的地壳里面。

4.VÄINÄMÖINEN CREATING THE WORLDS (Väinömöinen in Africa)

（维那莫宁在非洲） Among folks of the world, many creation myths are being told. Judaism,

Christianity and Islam have quite identical understanding on monotheistic

creation process. Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks and Chinese and many other

folks and cultures have a bit more varying perception on the matter.

在世界上的民间传说里，有许多创世神话。犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教，对一神

论的创造过程有着相同的理解。苏美尔、埃及、希腊、中国以及其他的民俗和文

化在这方面则有着不同的看法。

When Elias Lönnrot gathered folk tales during his lengthy field trips for the

Finland’s national epic, Kalevala, there were huge amounts of material

available. He noticed that the material was controversial and there were several

versions varying by central characters and events in different localities. Elias

had to drop out some collateral versions from the published Kalevala. There are

several versions of the creation of the world. According to some, it was

Väinämöinen who created the world and according to others he only had a

minor role as an assistant.

当艾里阿斯·隆洛特在他为芬兰的民族史诗《卡勒瓦拉》，做长期实地调查过程

中收集了很多民间故事，有大量的资料可供使用。他注意到材料是有争议的，有

几个版本的核心人物和事件地点是不同的。艾里阿斯不得不从已出版的《卡勒瓦

拉》里删减一些旁系版本。关于世界的创造有几个版本。其中几个说，维那莫宁

创造了世界，但根据其他版本，他只是个助理级的小角色。

Väinämöinen had his hands full when creating the world. He had to wander

around the land and arrange some mountains, lakes and rain forests here and

there. Some birch forests were set to the north and palm trees to the south.

Between north and south he drew a never ending line to give guidance for the

Sun. He ordered the Sun to shine on it at midday and demanded that day and

night have to be equally long as the line is reached. On land and water

Väinämöinen also drew a set of vertical and horizontal lines which were made

to ease travelling and tell apart distances. As the time has gone by the lines

have mostly disappeared, but the scientists have succeeded in developing

tools which enabled finding the location of these lines.

维那莫宁创造世界时，忙得不可开交。他必须四处查看，调整各处的山峰、湖泊

和雨林。把桦树林放到北方，把棕榈树放到南方。在南北之间，他画了一条没有

尽头的线，为太阳提供指示。他令太阳中午照射到它，要求那一天白天和晚上一

样长。维那莫宁还在陆地和水上画了一组垂直和水平的线，帮助旅行以及分辨距

离。时光流逝，线大多已经消失了，但是科学家们已经成功地开发出能找到这些

线的工具。

Moving even further from the central line dividing the world in to two halves, in a

wide canyon Väinämöinen met some dark pigmented creatures, who he named

humans. Väinämöinen told about the northern land, beautiful places and

desirable residential areas to the humans. In the north, there is the kingdom of

welfare, Väinämöinen convinced. And like that, a group of humans began their

journey heading for the north. During this trip, the colour of their skins got lighter.

Humans got divided into different tribes and clans and they established homes

all over the land.

从中央线进一步发展，将世界分裂成了两半。维那莫宁在一个大峡谷中遇到一些

黑色的生物，他把他们称之为人类。维那莫宁告诉他们北边的土地，是美丽的地

方和人类理想的居住区。维那莫宁相信，在北方有幸福的王国。就那样，一群人

开始他们的北上之旅。在这次旅行期间，他们的皮肤颜色变浅了。人类分为不同

部落和宗族，并在各地建立了房屋。

Väinämöinen donated many good words and spells to the humans. He adviced

them on the words for the birth of fire, the spells for making iron, the words

which can stop bleeding and skills to craft tools and weapons. He gave them

seeds of grain and many other useful gifts.

维那莫宁为人类奉献了许多善言和法术。他告诉他们生火的木头，生铁的咒语，

止血的词语，以及制造工艺工具和武器的技能。他给他们粮食的种子，还有其他

许多有用的礼物。

The humans were grateful, they praised and celebrated the wisdom and

kindness of Väinämöinen and promised to carefully follow the given directions

and advices. But shortly, after Väinämöinen had turned his back to leave and

continue his journey, humans were already attacking each other. With bows

and arrows they shot one and other. And with the axes, meant for cutting down

the trees, they beat each other. Later on, after hearing all this, Väinämöinen

heavily regretted giving the wisdom and the knowledge for use of the humans.

人们很感激他，他们称赞和庆祝维那莫宁的智慧和善良，并承诺认真遵循他给的

方向和建议。但不久，在维那莫宁转身离开继续他的行程后，人类已经互相攻击。

他们用弓箭射杀他人。为了用斧头砍伐树木，他们互相攻击。后来，维那莫宁听

到这一切后，很后悔教会人类使用智慧和知识。

5. THE BIG BANG – the encounter of myth and science

大爆炸——神话与科学的碰撞

There is a story about Väinämöinen which is associated with a creation tale that

is amazingly in-line with the current scientific creation theory.

有一个关于维那莫宁创世的故事，其与当前科学创造的理论的内在联系令人惊

讶。

According to the oldest Ugrian lore, in the beginning Väinämöinen drifted in

infinite emptiness, in snow-white darkness with no destination, without passing

of time in deep silence. One day, after swallowing too much stardust

Väinämöinen got a stomach ache and he let loose a massive fart. This

triggered the Big Bang, the world began to form in the speed of light and the

time started passing.

根据最古老的乌戈尔人传说，维那莫宁一开始在无限的空虚、雪白的黑暗中毫无

方向地漂流，在寂静中没有时间流逝。在吞咽太多星尘后，有一天，维那莫宁肚

子疼然后放了一个大屁。这引发大爆炸，世界开始以光速形成，时间开始流逝。

Of that Väinämöinen voiced:维那莫宁说：

“A disastrous bang, fart long and devilish

splatters afar pattered, blow widely scattered

灾难性的爆炸，很长很邪恶的臭屁

向远方飞溅，遍及广泛

It became the living, filled was the void

Time began to pass, days to trot

years to stream, centuries to slide”

它活跃了，填充了空隙

时间开始流动，日子开始慢跑

年复一年，已走过了几个世纪。

“Olipa paukku pahanlainen, pieru pitkä pirunmoinen

roiske kauas ropisi, laaki laajalle levisi

Siitä syntyi elollinen, tyhjä tuli täytetyksi

Aika alkoi kulua, päivät juosta jolkutella

vuodet virtana vieriä, vuosisadat sujutella”

And this is how the creation tales and scientific world view were brought

together.

这就是创世故事和科学世界观都怎么聚集在一起的。

6. SWORD OF VÄINÄMÖINEN 维那莫宁之剑

Wiseman Väinämöinen dealt with all political and economic issues of his

country. And however complicated the problem happened to be, he usually

settled playing the kantele (harp) and casting spells. But once the political

situation in the world became so aggravated that the strains of the kantele

could help no more. An intense row broke out between Louhi, the mighty

hostess of Pohjola, and Seppo Ilmarinen, the blacksmith of Kalevala. Ilmarinen

believed that Pohjola people had failed to pay for the Sampo brand money

making machine, delivered to Pohjola according to the agreement.

智者维那莫宁处理他国家所有的政治和经济问题。然而麻烦的问题是，他通常演

奏康特勒琴(竖琴)和施法来解决。但是一旦世界政治局势变得非常严重，康特勒

琴的琴弦没有任何帮助。波赫约拉强大的女王洛希与卡勒瓦拉的铁匠塞波·易尔

马里宁爆发了一场激烈的争吵。易尔马里宁觉得波赫约拉人没按照按照协议把制

造谷物、盐和金币的神磨——三宝给他们。

Maybe, the kinship took effect, anyway, the wiseman Väinämöinen took the

side of his brother blacksmith Ilmarinen. Väinämöinen asked Ilmarinen to forge

him a good sword as a tool for solving disputes. Ilmarinen made everything as

requested:

也许是亲属关系生效了。无论如何，维那莫宁带他着的铁匠兄弟易尔马里宁。维

那莫宁让易尔马里宁打造一把好剑，作为解决纠纷的一个工具。易尔马里宁按照

所有要求打造了：

“Forges well the blade of magic,

Well the heavy sword he tempers,

Ornaments the hero-weapon

With the finest gold and silver.”

(Kalevala: Poem 39)

铸造魔法之刃，

炼出沉重的剑气，

用最好的金银，

装饰英雄剑。

（卡勒瓦拉：诗 39）

The punitive expedition to Pohjola was quite successful, although in the heat of

the battle Sampo fell overboard and sank in the sea. The sword of

Väinämöinen excellently served the task. The warlord and host of Pohjola

tasted well its punishing power – he was killed in battle by the sword of

Väinämöinen. With the help of his sword Väinämöinen also accomplished his

other feats.

对波赫约拉惩罚性的远征很成功，虽然在激烈的战斗，三宝掉入海中并沉入了大

海。维那莫宁之剑优异地完成了任务。让波赫约拉的军阀和主人尝到了它的惩罚

力量。他战死在维那莫宁的剑下。在他剑的帮助下，维那莫宁也完成了他的壮举。

After peace was restored in the world, Väinämöinen little cared about his smart

sword, as now there was no need in it, and during one of his regular travels he

thrust it in a stone. The sword was retrieved from the stone by one young man,

who lived in the early Middle Ages and was afterwards glorified as King Arthur.

In this area, the name Väinämöinen was changed for Merlin.

世界恢复和平后，维那莫宁很少关注他的利剑，因为已经没有必要了。在他的一

次常规旅行中，他把剑刺入一块石头中。剑被一个年轻人从石头中取出，他就是

中世纪早期的亚瑟王。这片地方，维那莫宁之名叫便成了梅林。

7. THE LEGEND OF PAASIVESI DEVILS AND EVIL SPIRITS

帕斯维西魔鬼与恶灵传说

http://www.wondermondo.com/Countries/E/Finland/SSavonia/PaselkaDevils.h

tm

The water originating from the thawing glaciers of the last ice age and the

depressions developed under the weight of glaciers have made up the unique

landscape of Finland, a country of thousands of lakes. The majority of the lakes

lie in eastern Finland, in the Savo area and in Karelia. The lake Paasvesi, which

is also named Paasivesi or Paasselkä and is part of the Orivesi lake and the

Suur-Saimaa catchment basin, is one of the most mythical lakes in the country.

Paasselkä is situated near Kerimaa. Paasvesi is a deep lake with an oval shape

and a length of 10 km. People have always thought the lake to be mystic and

daunting. In the vicinity of Paasvesi unusual phenomena take place and

strange optical effects are observed. The ancient folk tales tell about devils

living in Paasvesi.

水源自冰河时代末期冰川的融化。重压下冰川的萧条构成了芬兰的独特景观，一

帕赛维西湖也叫帕斯维西或帕塞维西卡，是奥里韦西湖的一部分。塞马湖汇水盆

地是芬兰最神秘的湖泊之一。帕塞维西卡位于柯日马附近。帕赛维西是一个椭圆

间故事说魔鬼住在帕赛维西湖里。

Paasvesi Devil is an optical phenomenon, which the local population on the

shores of the lake has regularly observed for more than three centuries. Last

time it was seen in December 2003 and in summer 2005. Paasvesi Devil is a

bright glowing sphere swiftly moving from one place to another. The devil

communicates with people usually by its movement. At the beginning of the

18th century, when it first appeared, it marked the borderline between the

fishing areas of the Savo and Karelia peoples. In a sense, it behaved as a

border guard in this case. Sometimes, the devil showed to the locals good

fishing places. There has also been a popular belief that when the devil

appears, then new childbirths are to be expected. Usually, the devil shows up

as a well-intentioned spirit. The glowing can sometimes continue for up to half

an hour, during this time its colour and shape can change.

帕斯维西魔鬼是一种光学现象，湖岸上的当地居民定期观测超过三个世纪。上一

次是在 2003 年 12 月和 2005 年夏季。帕赛维西魔鬼是一个明亮发光的球体，迅

速从一个地方移动到另一个地方。魔鬼通过它的运动与人们交流。18 世纪初，

当它第一次出现时，它划分了萨沃渔业水域与卡累利人之间界限。在某种意义上

说，它是一个边防警卫。有时，魔鬼会给当地人指出钓鱼的好地方。还有一种流

行的信念，魔鬼出现时，会有新生儿诞生。通常，魔鬼作为一个善意的灵体出现。

发光有时会持续长达半个小时，而且在这期间可以改变颜色和形状。

Scientists believe that this is a crater lake created about two hundred million

years ago by the fall of a meteorite. Ancient people knew more about the

origination of the local phenomena and put their knowledge in their traditional

stories. In ancient times, infuriated giants living at the North Pole threw great

stones at people. Once the biggest giant, whose name was Ymir, launched a

boulder with a diameter of one kilometre and it fell in the Orivesi lake

splattering water all around the lake. These splatters gave birth to all lakes in

the Suur-Saimaa catchment basin. The boulder stone (“kivipaasi” in Finnish)

gave the name to lake itself. Unfortunately, the stone had been populated by

earth goblins and evil spirits. These evil spirits moved to Savo together with the

boulder stone and there they started to bring ill luck to people and frighten

them with elf-fires and other unusual phenomena.

科学家认为，这是一个大约二亿年前由于陨石坠落而形成的火山口湖。古人了解

当地现象的起源，并把他们所了解的知识融入到他们的传统故事中。在古代，生

活在北极的愤怒的巨人把大块的石头扔向人们。有一次，名叫伊米尔的最大的巨

人，扔出了一块直径一公里的岩石，它掉在奥里韦西湖，湖水向四处飞溅。这些

洒出来的水形成了塞马湖汇水盆地。这块岩石的名字(芬兰为“kivipaasi”)，成了

湖的名字。不幸的是，石头被地球上众多妖精和恶灵占据。这些恶灵的一起把石

头搬到萨沃，在那里他们开始给人们带来坏运气，用灵火和其他不寻常的现象吓

唬人。

Such is the legend of the Paasvesi lake in Orivesi and its mysteries. The

legend is described in the book by Sulo Strömberg “Legends of Paasvesi

devils and evil spirits” (“Tarinoita Paasveen piruista ja pohuista”) published in

2006. The book is out of stock, but can be found in libraries.

这就是奥里韦西帕赛维西湖的传说和它的奥秘。苏洛·斯特罗姆博格于 2006 年

出版的《帕赛维西魔鬼和恶灵传说》(“Tarinoita Paasveen piruista ja pohuista”)

一书中有关于此传说的描述。这本书已脱销，但是可以在图书馆找到。

8. THE CHURCH OF KERIMÄKI – the world’s greatest wooden

church 凯里麦基教堂——世界上最大的木制教堂

Prehistory of the church (previously unknown lore)

史前的教堂(先前未知的知识)

In antiquity Kerimaa, also refered as Kalevala, there was the best game lands

and the most rewarding fishing grounds. On the other hand they were gloomy

and frightening wilderness back then, where trolls, goblins, elves, gnomes and

other numerous wood spirits lived. A hunter, so brave that he would just enter

this deep forest, was nowhere to be found before performing suitable sacrifices

and prayers to every god necessary.

在古代，柯日马，也就是卡勒瓦拉有最好的狩猎场和最有效益的渔场。另一方面

他们又是很阴郁很可怕的荒野，因为巨魔，妖精，精灵，侏儒和无数的森林精灵

都生活这里。猎人，很勇敢地进入这个森林深处，在他给众神适当的祭典和祈祷

之前他是找不到任何地方的。

The great megalith stone of Kerimaa was one of the most important sacred

places in which people gathered especially during the midsummer celebration.

The celebration of summer started off with the prayers of shamans and

offerings which were then followed by boisterous celebration lasting for a week.

A great bonfire was lit at the feet of the great stone and around it old men were

telling their tales. The old women were gossiping, the youth was jumping

around their ring game and checking up possible partner candidates.

柯日马巨石是最重要的圣地之一。人们聚集这里庆贺，特别是在仲夏。夏日庆典

以巫师的祈祷开始，然后热闹的庆祝活动会持续一个星期。巨大的篝火在巨石脚

下点燃，老人在周围讲他们的故事。老女人在闲聊，年轻人在跑跳着玩环环游戏

并寻找可能的伴侣人选。

As the time passed Christianity arrived, first the religion of Byzantium came

from east and later came the Pope’s version of the same religion brought by the

King Svean Erik. The warriors of Kalevala didn’t give up their old reliable old

gods easily even though the amount of them was quite massive compared to

the new Jesus-religion which only included one god alternative. The huge

number of gods and elves then resulted in being the factor destroying this old

religion. But before that many cross carrying war party was needed both from

east as well as from west to turn the heads of stubborn people of Kalevala. At

that point the people of Kalevala were started to be called by different tribe

names; there were hämäläiset, karjalaiset, Finnish and finally savolaiset. Of

course there was also lappalaiset, who were not seen as the people of

Kalevala.

随着时间的推移，基督教到来了。第一个拜占庭的宗教从东边传来，后来由斯

文·埃里克传来了同的宗教的教皇版本。卡勒瓦拉的勇士们并没有轻易放弃他们

的古老可靠的众神，尽管他们的数量相对于只有一个神的基督教来说是相当庞大

的。大量的神和精灵然后成为旧宗教破坏的因素。但在那之前，许多主战派需要

从东方和西方来改变顽固的卡勒瓦拉人。那时卡勒瓦拉人开始按不同的部落名称

称呼，有哈马莱赛特，凯瑞莱赛特，芬兰，和萨沃莱赛特。当然还有不被视为卡

勒瓦拉人的赖帕莱赛特。

Church of Väinämöinen. Place of Sacrifice

The priests of Byzantium accepted the old places of worship and discussed and

adjusted the old and new religion peacefully together. Unlike the priests, the

Pope’s knights of the cross and bishops were way more mischievous. Old

sacred groves were beat over, Sami sacred places were pushed over and the

places of worship were destroyed. At first Kerimaa’s sacrificial site of great

shrine stone was replaced with small Christian altar. The great megalith stone

was briefly called the church of Väinämöinen. Then came the iron clad soldiers,

the tight-lipped priests and bishops sent by the king Svea. And by their

demands the forest altar got demolished. Impetuous bishop ordered the altar to

be moved ten kilometres to a new place, ashore by beautiful Puruvesi and

prohibited people from calling it the church of Väinämöinen. It was easier for the

bishops to get there by horse rides to preach contrition to people in Latin. The

people learnt to worship the new god, who then established his place also

among Savonians. A couple of hundred years passed by and a new graceful

church was built. There were that much old spirit of Väinämöinen left in the

villagers that the church was built to be the biggest in the world at once.

拜占庭教的祭司接受旧的宗教活动场所，和平地一起讨论调整旧新宗教。不像祭

司一样，教皇的十字军骑士和主教更严重。古老神圣的树林被击败，萨米圣地被

推倒，敬拜的地方被摧毁。起初柯日马祭祀所用的大石头被换成小的基督教坛。

伟大的巨石一度称为维那莫宁教会。然后是被国王斯韦亚派来的铁骑，守口如瓶

的牧师和主教按他们要求，森林祭坛被拆毁。冲动的主教下令将神坛搬到十公里

以外的一个新地方。那里在美丽的普鲁韦西湖岸上，禁止人们称之为维那莫宁教

会。主教更容易骑马去那里用拉丁语向人们宣扬悔悟。人们学会了敬拜新神，然

后在萨沃人之间也建立了自己的位置。几百年过去了，一个新的优雅的教堂建成。

有那么维那莫宁古老的精神留在建造世界上最大教堂的村民中。

Present-day church

现今的教堂

In the middle of 1800s there were approximately 10 000 people in the

congregation of Kerimäki, but the congregation didn’t have their own proper

church. The planning began and the goal was set to having a church in which

they could fit half of members of the congregation. The construction of the

church took several years and along with the experienced workers, hundreds of

the parishioners joined the work. The church was completed in the year of 1848

and it is the biggest church in Finland and the biggest wooden church in the

whole wide world.

在 1800 年代中期有大约 10，000 人是凯里迈基会众，但会众没有自己合适的教

堂。建造教堂的计划开始，目标是有一个可以容纳一半会众的教堂。经验的工人

建造教堂建筑花了几年，数以百计的教区居民也参加了工作。教堂于 1848 年建

成，它是芬兰最大的教堂，也是在整个世界最大的木制教堂。

9. THE GOLF COURSE OF KERIMAA 柯日马高尔夫之路

There is a glorious 18 hole round golf course in Kerimaa. Due to its extensive

varying elevations on the surface, it is almost unique in the whole world. In a

few years, the course will be celebrating its 30th anniversary.

柯日马有条非常有名的高尔夫之路，在它周围有 18个球洞。由于表面有各种高

地，它几乎在世界上都是独一无二的。再过几年，这条路将迎来它 30年的年庆。

A game which was closely related to golf was played nearby Kerimaa already

thousands of years ago, during the archaic time of Kalevala. A club, or a mallet

(karttu), was used as a playing instrument. The word mallet might have

provided the base for the current name of a golf club, although the origin of the

name has been searched from the dialect of Scotland as well as from Dutch

language. The researches of ancient history are quite unanimous that the term

for golf club had drifted to Europe even before the beginning of chronology.

在几千年以前远古时代的卡勒瓦拉，柯日马附近就玩一种很像高尔夫的运动。棍

子或者木槌是游戏的工具。木槌可能向现在的高尔夫球棍提供了原型，尽管这一

名字的词源来自苏格兰方言和荷兰语。关于高尔夫球棍的古代历史研究非常多，

甚至可以追溯到纪事伊始。

During the time of Kalevala, the corresponding item for a golf ball was circular

or multifaceted ball, which was carved out of hard birch. Another production

method was to tie a compact ball out of shreds of elk leather and to harden the

ball in salt water.

在卡勒瓦拉时期，与高尔夫球相对应的是圆形的或者是多年的一个球体，用硬桦

木雕刻而成。另外一种制作方法是用麋鹿皮革的碎片压成一个球，然后放在盐水

中，使其变硬。

From the very beginning the idea of the game was to hit the ball with mallet

aiming towards the nest of a woodpecker. There were about ten players. First

to hit their ball in to the nest hole was the winner. Since then the game was

expanded so that seven trees, with suitable distances to one, and other were

chosen, cut down and a hole was drilled into the stump. The players were now

supposed to hit every hole during their turn. The player, who was the first to hit

all the hole, was announced to be the winner.

最初这个游戏的玩法是，对着啄木鸟的巣击打球。大概有十个选手。第一个把球

打进鸟巢的就是胜者。后来扩展到了七棵树，按照合适的距离，选好树，砍掉，

然后在每个树桩上钻一个洞。选手们按序依次击打球。第一个把球打进所有洞里

的就是胜者。

There are only a few referenced restored about this archaic game. According to

lores the inventor of the game was the blacksmith Ilmarinen and the name of

the game would have been called ”the mallet ball of Ilmainen” (Ilmarisen

karttupallo). It was apparently only played by the best warriors of different tribes.

The game was prohibited from women even though in the ancient history of

Kalevala woman is very equal with men. Among the folk more famous and easy

form of game was “kyykkä”, which was played with a similar mallet but it was

thrown towards the standing up tree pins. 关于这项古老的运动，现存的资料很

少。根据神话，游戏的发明者是铁匠伊尔马利宁，这项游戏也被称之为“伊尔马

利宁棍球”。显然，只有不同部落的最优秀的战士才能玩。禁止女性参加这项运

动，尽管在远古时代得卡勒瓦拉男女是相当平等的。在民间故事中，有种更有名

更简单的游戏，叫做基卡。它也是用相似的球棍来玩，但是它击向的是直立着的

树梢。

A game, which resembles golf, from 2000 years ago

2000年前类似高尔夫的运动

10. THE LEGEND OF THE BEAR

Long ago, in the ancient times, after Väinämöinen left for one of his regular travels,

terrible wolves came to the woods of Kerilandia. They were huge, savage and

blood-thirsty beasts. All animals of Kerimaa – elks, reindeers, hares, squirrels and

even many kinds of birds were stricken by horror. Wolves chased all animals, nobody

was left in peace.

很久以前，在古代，维那莫宁离开去一个常规旅行后，可怕的狼群来到凯里兰迪

亚树林里。他们是巨大的，野蛮，嗜血的野兽。柯日马所有动物——麋鹿、驯鹿、

野兔、松鼠甚至多种鸟类被吓到了。狼追逐所有的动物，没有人能安生。

At last, the wise Owl lost his patience and decided to put an end to this situation. He

sent out ravens to all woods with an invitation to all their inhabitants to gather for a

meeting in the first half of the day (when wolves sleep) at the edge of the wood near the

Great Stone of Kerimaa. Animals started cautiously come together at the agreed place,

constantly looking back and about in fear. But, little by little, getting support from their

fellow animals, they threw off their reserve. Soon, they unanimously loudly

disapproved the behaviour of wolves. But nobody could suggest what to do next.

最后，智者猫头鹰失去了耐心，决定结束这种局面。他派乌鸦向所有森林居民发

出邀请，让他们上半天 (当狼睡眠时)在柯日马巨石旁边的树林边缘开会。动物

开始谨慎地一起来到约定地点，不断在恐惧中回头看。但是，渐渐地，从他们的

同伴上得到了支持，他们开始准备。很快，他们一致大声地反对狼的行为。但没

人能建议下一步做什么。

Finally, the wise Owl declared: “We have to send a message to Väinämöinen and

inform him about the situation here. Only he can moderate wolves.”

最后，智者猫头鹰说：“我们必须将消息发送给维那莫宁，把这里的情况通知他。

只有他可以控制狼。”

“But we don’t know the whereabouts of Väinämöinen. He can be at the feast in Pohjola,

but the music festival in Saaremaa is also possible. He can be taking part in the annual

gathering of eastern shamans or relax at the baking festival of southern hostesses.

Väinämöinen moves about very fast and he adores the company of women.”

但我们不知道维那莫宁的下落。他可能在波赫约拉盛宴，也可能在萨拉马的音乐

节。可能参加东部巫师的年会或者在南部的女主人的烘焙节放松。维那莫宁换得

非常快，而且他喜欢女性的陪伴。”

“We have to send out messengers in all directions throughout the world” – decided the

wise Owl. “Let reindeers go to the north, roes will run to the north-east, let lynxes trot to

the east and foxes to the south-east. Let elks stride to the south, gulls will fly to the

south-west and crows to the west over the great sea, the band of lemmings will run to

the north-west. One of you will surely find Väinämöinen and inform him about the

situation here.”

“我们在在整个世界的四面八方必须派出使者”——智者猫头鹰决定。“让驯鹿去

北方，狍去东北，猞猁小跑去东部，狐狸去东南部。让麋鹿大步向南，海鸥飞到

西南，乌鸦向西方大海，旅鼠群去西北。其中一个肯定会找到维那莫宁，把这里

的情况告诉他。

Everybody agreed with the proposal of the wise Owl. All messengers departed towards

their assigned destination, while the remaining animals decided to hide under the

Great Stone. A day passed, the week ended, then months run by. Messengers started

to return, but without any good news. Väinämöinen was not to be found neither in the

east nor in the south, even in the west nobody saw him.

每个人都同意智者猫头鹰的建议。所有使者分别取指定的目的地，而其余动物决

定躲在巨石下。一天过去了，一周结束了，然后几个月过去了。使者们开始返回，

但却没有任何好的消息。无论是在东方还是在南方没有人发现维那莫宁，即使在

西方也没有人看见他。

Reindeers were the last to return from the north and they were full of joy. The searched

everywhere and at last found Väinämöinen at the merrymaking in Pohjola.

Väinämöinen became very angry about the shameful behaviour of wolves in his native

land.

驯鹿是最后从北边回来的，他们充满了快乐。他们到处都找遍了，最后发现维那

莫宁在波赫约拉寻欢作乐。维那莫宁对狼在他祖国的可耻行为非常生气。

He said to reindeers: “I cannot leave everything here and go for putting wolves in the

right way, but I will provide you with a new protector, the lord of woods, who will master

wolves.”

他对驯鹿说：“我不能这里的一切都放着，然后去让狼改邪归正。但我将为你们

提供一个新的保护者，森林之王，它将掌握狼。”

Then Väinämöinen accomplished a mighty magic and cast spells. The Bear, lord of

woods, was born.

然后维那莫宁完成一个强大的魔法和咒语。熊，森林之王，诞生了。

So, the Bear came to Kerimaa and law and order were restored in the woods.

所以，熊来到柯日马，树林里恢复法律和秩序。

Ever since then, bears have been considered guards of Kerimaa. Today, the sculpted

image of a family of bears protects the borders of Kerimaa from wolves, bans them

from disturbing animals and people living in Kerimaa.

从那以后，熊被认为是柯日马的警卫。现在，一个家庭熊雕塑保护着柯日马与狼

的边界，禁止他们打扰住在柯日马的动物和人。

The bear is a so much respected and worshipped resident of Kerimaa woods that it is

a custom to avoid calling him just “bear”, but instead the local people use various

periphrases. 99 periphrases are known to be used to talk about bears.

熊是如此受柯日马森林居民尊敬和崇拜，因此有一个传统来避免只称他“熊”，

当地人使用各种迂回的说法。有 99 个谈论熊的迂回说法都被人所知。

11. THE BIGGEST PIKE IN SYLKYNJÄRVI

赛尔科亚贾维最大的梭子鱼

At one time two devoted fishermen Matti from Kerimaa and Taavetti from Tihvii

lived ashore of Kerimaa’s Sylkynjärvi. Always when bumping into each other,

the men began enthusiastically brag about their great draughts.

从前，两个忠实的渔夫，来自柯日马的马蒂和来自泰维的大卫居住在柯日马的赛

尔科亚贾维岸边。他们碰到一块事，总是开始热情地吹嘘他们的伟大。

“The other day I got a massive pike from Sylkynjärvi”, told Taavetti from Tihvii.

“When the neighbours saw it they measured the length at ten meters”

“一天，我钓到了赛尔科亚贾维的巨大的梭子鱼，”来自泰维的大卫说。

“当邻居们看到时，他们量了有十米长。”

“Well that weren’t so big then” blurt Matti from Kerimaa. “Yesterday evening I

caught so massive pike that when I cut its stomach open I found the 14

fishermen from the village of Silvola, who went missing last week during the

night fishing trip, and their boat which they had when they were fishing at night.

At the bow of the boat the lantern was still burning.”

“嗯，没有那么大的，”来自柯日马的马蒂脱口而出。“昨晚我捉到的梭子鱼，

杀开之后，在他肚子里发现了 14 个来自西尔维娅在上周一次夜晚捕鱼时失踪的

渔夫以及他们那晚捕鱼用的船。船的船头灯还在燃烧着。”

Taavetti from Tihvii took a look at Matti with disbelief. “Now you must have lied

Matti, I’m not believing that.”

来自泰维的大卫难以置信地看了马蒂一眼。“你一定说谎了，马蒂，我不相信。”

Matti was silent for a moment and glanced at Taavetti. “Well if you take five

meter off of the length of your pike, then I can put out that fore lantern.”

马蒂沉默了片刻，瞥了一眼大卫。“如果你把你的梭子鱼去掉 5 米，然后我可以

船头灯去掉。”

12. KERIMAA’S SALMON POND 柯日马的大马哈鱼池塘

In the beginning the heroes of Kalevala Ilmarinen and Lemminkäinen travelled

while fishings “along the canvas of Kalevala, headlands of Puruvesi”. They had

a poor catch on the bottom of their boat and while they were rowing in

Sylkynjärvi they met Väinämöinen. Väinämöinen had birch bark container on

this back which “exuded by plump salmons, barb chins tremored, hundreds of

whitefish, plenty of perch”.

一开始，卡勒瓦拉的英雄易尔马里宁和勒明盖宁沿着卡勒瓦拉的湖，普鲁韦西湖

边旅行边钓鱼。当他们在赛尔科亚贾维遇到维那莫宁时，他们船的收成正不好。

维那莫宁背后有一个白桦树皮容器，“跳出肥满的大马哈鱼，跳动的带着倒钩的

下巴，数以百计的白鱼以及大量的鲈鱼”.

Of that uttered Ilmarinen: “Oh you brother Väinämöinen, fisherman of my taste,

where have you got all the beautiful fish, found the glorious salmons, where is

this best fishing spot, distant fishing shed of yours.”

易尔马里宁说：“噢，维那莫宁兄弟，你太对我胃口了。你在哪钓到这么多漂亮

的鱼，极棒的大马哈鱼。最好的钓鱼的地方在哪，让你在远处钓到了鱼。”

Väinämöinen responded: “Oh you brother Ilmarinen, the hammerer of the sky’s

dome, crafter of the great Sampo, of course I might tell you, slur the secret,

word of this region verify, reveal the greatest fishery of all.” And so

Väinämöinen told Ilmarinen and Lemminkäinen that the best fishery laid there,

right behind the isthmus.

维那莫宁回答说：“噢，易尔马里宁兄弟。天空穹顶锻工，伟大的三宝的制造者，

我当然会告诉你，那个秘密，对你证明那地区，揭开最大的钓鱼场。”于是维那

莫宁告诉了易尔马里宁最好的渔场就位于海峡的后面。

From that point on the lake has been called Kannantakainen (behind the

isthmus) and it still is found to be a great spot for fishing. Fishing permit can be

bought from reception of Kerimaa.

从那一刻起，湖被称之为卡耐特凯恩（海峡后面），而且他仍然是一个很棒的钓

鱼地方。可以从柯日马购买钓鱼许可证。

13. TALES OF KERIMAA: THE PATH OF LOVE 柯日马神话：爱之道

Son of Väinämöinen, Saamu, was unmarried, jobless, lonely wanderer who

had started to feel strange yearning in his chest. Saamu wandered in forests

and seldom dropped by the village. But when he happened to drop by his gaze

mostly settled upon the daughters of different farms. The young maidens didn’t

really care for this bizarre wanderer. The maidens with golden locks began to

trouble Saamu’s dreams and distract his concentration on hunting so badly that

he decided to ask for advice from the more experienced men of Kalevala. The

question of finding a bride was irritating Saamu.

维那莫宁的儿子萨姆，未婚，失业，孤独的流浪者，开始感觉到胸腔里奇快的渴

望。萨姆在森林里闲逛，很少去村子里。但当他偶然经过时，他的目光主要停留

在不同农场的女儿身上。年轻的少女并没有真正关心这个奇怪的流浪者。金发少

女开始扰乱萨姆的梦境，非常严重地影响他的狩猎，所以他决定向卡勒瓦拉中有

经验的人寻求意见。找老婆这件事很是刺激了萨姆。

Saamu went first to ask the blacksmith Ilmarinen some advice. Ilmarinen

willingly promised to forge him a wife from iron and bronze. Ilmarinen had plenty

of experience having done this already before when he forged a housekeeper

from gold for himself. Ilmarinen praised the good qualities of the forged wife,

she won’t nag or forbid, won’t go to dances or glance at other men. Ilmarinen

told about his wife even handing over some gold nuggets from her hair or gold

coins from her loins during rough times.

萨姆首先去问铁匠易尔马里宁寻求些建议。易尔马里宁欣然许诺用铜和铁为他造

一个妻子。易尔马里宁有足够的经验，之前他成功地用黄金为自己造了一个管家。

易尔马里宁称赞他造的妻子的优点，她不会唠叨或者阻止，不会去跳舞或看其他

男人。易尔马里宁说到他妻子，他说她甚至在艰难时期从头发上交出些金块或者

腰上拿出些金币。

Saamu wasn’t interested in a lifeless statue. He went to seek an advice on

getting a wife from the warlord of Kalevala, Iku-Tiera.

萨姆对没有生命的雕像不感兴趣。他去向卡勒瓦拉将军爱酷-提尔拉寻求得到妻

子的建议。

Iku-Tiera had some straightforward hints: “Young man, equip an armament

from the bachelors of the village and go for a trip to east and steal a wife for

yourself. From there you can find some beauties, dark and blond, gentle and

hot-blooded. There are plenty of gorgeous women to choose from. But be

aware of the brothers and the rivals. Kill the men otherwise they might want to

revenge.”

爱酷-提尔拉给了一些很直接的提示：“年轻人，从村里的单身汉那里找装备武

装自己，然后去东边，给自己偷一个老婆。你可以在那里找到一些漂亮的、黑色

的、金色的、温柔的和热血的。有很多美丽的女人可以选择。但是要注意那些兄

弟们和对手们。杀死男人，否则他们可能想报复。”

Saamu wasn’t interested in a violent stealing trip like this either. He went to see

the famous ladies men, Lieto Lemminkäinen, and ask her secret for success

among women. “I do have many tricks to get women laugh and maids to cry,”

said Lieto Lemminkäinen. “But you are the kind of crab of the forests that the

result is already sealed when you leave for the distant land to find a maiden.

There northern taciturn men are very fancied among women.Interest is present

both in young maidens as well as a bit more mature housewives of mansions. It

is easy to wheedle the daughters to love but time consuming as well.

Wheedling of the housewives will be faster if you make sure that the head of the

house is keeping busy with other things. Be aware of too beautiful and arrogant

women. The best final result will be reached when you don’t search for the most

gorgeous one but you satisfy with a moderate appearance and higher age. By

that you will get a passionate lover and faithful partner. Keep yourself always

ready to leave and don’t stay waiting for the dowry if the wife of a lord decides to

join you.”

萨姆对这样的暴力偷窃行径也不感兴趣。他去找了有名的讨女人欢心的男人，列

托·勒明盖宁，向他询问在女人中间成功的秘密。 “我确实有很多技巧来让女

人笑或者女孩哭，”列托·勒明盖宁说，“但你是那种蜗居在森林中的人，当你

去远处寻找女孩时，结局是未知的。沉默寡言的北方男人在女人当中很受欢迎。

两类女人感兴趣，一类是年轻女孩，另一类是稍微成熟一点的豪宅主妇。用甜言

蜜语哄骗女孩很容易，但耗费时间。哄骗家庭主妇会更快一点，只要你确保男主

人一直在忙其他的事情。注意太漂亮和太傲慢的女人。当你不寻找最艳丽的而对

外表温和和年龄更高的满意时，就是最好的最终结果。那样，你就会得到一个热

情的情人和忠实的伴侣。让自己保持随时准备离开的状态，如果一个人妻决定嫁

给你，不要等着的嫁妆。

The advices given by Lemminkäinen didn’t impress Saamu. Finaly he visited

his grandmother, Ilmatar. Ilmatar gave an advice to her child: ”Go to a great

stone in Kerimaa. There is a stable path which you circle aroung three times

clockwise and three times anticlockwise. Do this every single day for a week.

Then, on Saturday go to the dances held in the cottage. Choose the prettiest of

the maidens are dance with her amorous dances until the next morning. She

will become a faithful partner for you. Start you honeymoon by taking your bride

to the path of love in Kerimaa. Circle around the path three times, in both

directions. That will ensure fertility for your union and there will be enough love

for over infinity.”

勒明盖宁的建议没有打动萨姆。最后，他拜访了他的祖母，伊尔玛达尔。伊尔玛

达尔给他孙子建议：“去柯日马巨石那。那里有一条稳定的道路。你沿着它正转

三圈倒转三圈。每天都这么做，持续一星期。然后，周六去小别墅举办的舞会跳

舞。选择最漂亮的女孩，和她跳舞直到第二天早上。她会成为你忠实的伴侣。带

着你的新娘去柯日马的爱之道，开始你们的蜜月。正转三圈，倒转三圈。这会保

证你们的生育和足够的无穷的爱。

Saamu followed the advices given by his wise grandmother and met a girl,

Päivikki, the most beautiful maiden of all the deep forests. The young couple’s

wedding was celebrated for a week in Kerimaa. Every day they circled around

the path of love and fell more deeply in love with each other. After an year

Päivikki gave birth to their first child. The child was named Saamu-Väinä after

his father and grandfather.

萨姆遵循了明智的祖母的建议，然后遇见了一个女孩，帕维基，她是所有的森林

深处最美丽的少女。年轻夫妇的婚礼在柯日马庆祝了一个星期。他们每天绕着爱

之路走，他们爱对方更深了。一年后帕维基生下了他们的第一个孩子。这个孩子

以他父亲和祖父的名字命名为萨姆-维那。

The path of love is in Kerimaa even today. The ones walked along it have found

their brides and grooms. This walk is seen as a strong fertility rite.

甚至今天爱之路是仍在柯日马。沿着它走的人们，会找到他们的新娘或新郎。这

路途被视为一个强大的生育仪式。

The same story in a length of poem:

Tales of Kerimaa: The path of love

一段诗中有同样的故事：

柯日马神话：爱知道

Lived in a forest Samu Väinänpoika, of family of a great shaman

Lived and existed, hunted, fished

in the middle of the Savo's wilderness, Kalevala's isthmus

萨姆·维那波卡住在森林里，出身于巫师家庭

他生活、存在、狩猎、捕鱼

在萨沃原野的中间，卡勒瓦拉的地峡

It wasn't nice to be alone, fish without a friend,

Be with thyself, wonder by thyself

Longing troubled the head, began mighty urge:

from where to find a young maiden, from where to hear a companion

孤独一人很不好，捕鱼也没有朋友

只有自己一人，闲逛也是自己

太久的烦恼，成了很强的需求

Went he to ask for advice, to demand answers

At Iki-Ilmarinen's, family uncle's birth grounds.

Already advised smith Ilmarinen, pounder of the sky,

forger of the firmament, smith ever knowledgeable

他去寻找建议，解决问题

在易尔马里宁，族叔的出生地

易尔马里宁给了建议，他是天空的杵

苍天的锻工，可以打出任何东西

I will forge you a grace, a wife cunning I'll create

For I have experience, skills of forging girls

For myself a golden companion, for you a maiden lovely

Ping up a woman, build up from iron

decorate with gold, titivate with silver

finish with copper, the hair out of silk I sleek

Cheeks I red with lingonberry, bust I create thick

Hips I make wide, behind I make lithe

legs straight I trim, wrists I squeeze brisk

Eyes of stars I fold, face I engrave from bark.

Neck I devise from a swan, scent from the flowers of a meadow

我将为你打造一个优雅狡黠的妻子

因为我有经验，打造女孩

我给自己打造了一个金色的伴侣，给你打造一个可爱的女孩

培育出一个女人，用铁来打造

用金装饰，用银打扮

用铜来完成，丝滑的头发

用越橘染红脸颊，胸部也会丰满

宽大的臀，后面我会弄柔软

修剪出修长的双腿，挤出手腕

折出星目，用树皮雕刻脸

脖子我从天鹅设计，味道是草地上的花香

But Samu isn't exited, won't comply with the plan

Lifeless is your woman, spiritless is your lovely sweetheart

Left Samu for other knowledge, to get new advice

To Tiera he slipped, strutted to the hero

Tell me from where to get a maiden for me, where to get a darling for the drudge

但萨姆否定了，不同意这个计划

你的女人没有生气，你孤独的内心很沉闷

他到了萨姆离开去寻找其他之事，寻找新的建议

他找到了提尔拉，大摇大摆的走向那英雄

告诉我从那哪能得到一个女孩，从哪能找到挚爱

Tiera knew the best, explained the plans easily

Go to war in the east, go for a raid

There all the beauties are, loveliest of women

Steal a virgin sweet, pick a bride out of many

But beware the chaps of Vieno, brothers avoid

Dodge the axes of the fathers, go around of the suitors' revenge

Kill the fathers, ambush the brothers, derail the family to death

prevent the devious revenge, evade the persecution of enemies

提尔拉非常了解，很容易地给了我解释

去东方战斗，去突袭

那里有所有的美女，可爱的女性

偷一个甜美的处女，从众人中选一个新娘

但要注意维耶诺的家伙，避开兄弟

躲开父亲的斧头，到处是追求者的报复

杀死父亲，伏击兄弟，破坏家庭

防止狡猾的报复，躲避敌人的迫害

Tiera's words won't do, secrets of the soldier

demand for violence, for murder of a new family

Samu wen't to Salonen's, witch of new advices

Looked for a route to the sage, the artist of love

To Lieto Lemminkäinen, to a known traveller's house

Already advised Lieto Lemminkäinen, said Ahti Saarelainen

Travel to faraway lands, reach abroad

There all the loveliest sisters are, ladies most fruitful

Looking for an outlandish man, persuading the traveller

Catching the northern boy, hunting for the stranger

Easy to attract the sweethearts, to get the chicks by your side

Mothers like their daughters, for you they will offer themselves

Of course avoid the arrogant, circle around from afar the most beautiful ones

they have their haughty suitors, Vieno's borthers as guards

Proud these ladies are, blinded by their grace

Content yourself with an ordinary girl, take the excellent one as your own

you will have the spark of love, an emerge of deep passion

longing long hidden, fervour appearing

提尔拉的话不会做，士兵的秘密

对暴力的需求，为谋杀的一个新家庭

萨姆不会去萨洛宁，女巫的新建议

寻找一个圣人，爱的艺术家

找到了列托·勒明盖宁，旅行者的房子

列托·勒明盖宁已经给了建议，阿赫蒂·萨拉雷宁说

前往遥远的土地，抵达国外

哪里有最可爱的姐妹，最多产的女人

寻找一个古怪的人，说服旅行者

北方的男孩，寻找那个陌生人

容易吸引甜心，把小鸡带在身边

母亲喜欢他们的女儿，会将她们提供给你

当然避免傲慢的，离最美丽远些

他们有傲慢的追求者，维耶诺哥哥们作警卫

这些女士们很骄傲，被他们的恩典蒙蔽

找一个普通女孩，自己找一个优秀的

你会有爱的火花，澎湃的激情出现

隐藏的长久的渴望，热情出现

Won't do the tricks of Kaukomieli, riddles of Lemminkäinen

Went he to granny eternal, to great mother's region

To Witch-women's place, to Ilmatar's familiar cottage

不会用这些把戏，勒明盖宁的谜语

最后找到了祖母，伟大母亲的怀抱

到了女巫的地方，伊尔玛达尔熟悉的小屋

Was Maiden air's girl, graceful was Kave child of nature

knew all the spells of love, secrets of the heart.

是少女气的女孩，优雅的自然之子凯维

知道所有爱的法术，和心灵的秘密。

Go to the stone boy, to Kerimaa's cliff

along the path run, to the boulder eternal

Circle the path clockwise, yet once counter-clockwise

three times both

now is found thy own sweetheart, a dear hangs along

A child is born in the summer, another one in the freezing winter

the spark of love will endure, wonder for eternity

去石头那里，孩子，去柯日马悬崖

围着路跑，直到巨石那里

围着路正转三圈

倒转三圈

你就会发现你自己的爱人，亲密的伴侣

一个孩子在夏季降生，另一个会在寒冷的冬天

爱的火花会长存，奇迹会永恒

14. STORY OF ALEKSANTERI NEVSKI 亚历山大·涅瓦莱宁的传说

A new strong trade state, Novgorod, had emerged during the late first

millennium as the south-east neighbour of Kerimaa and Kalevala. Residents of

the city were merchants and artisans. Due to economic success of the city

Novgorod was constantly under a threat of war. Byzantine principalities from

south and the Catholic German order of knighthood took turns in persecuting

the city. The invincible Tatars and Mongolians swarmed from east and

aggressive kings of Sweden from west. The raids from north were conducted

by paga suumi's and jäämi's.

一个新的贸易强国，诺夫哥罗德，出现在第一个千禧年末期，位于邻国柯日马和

卡勒瓦拉的东南。城市的居民都是商人和工匠。由于城市经济上的成功，诺夫哥

罗德不断受到战争的威胁。被南方的拜占庭君权和德国天主教骑士轮流迫害。不

可战胜的鞑靼人、蒙古人一窝蜂地从东边和激进的瑞典国王从西边。从北来的帕

加苏米和加米进行了空袭。

The Pope's fleet is attacked Novgorod

Only the warriors of Kalevala were in an alliance with Novgorod as they had

been founding Novgorod at one time. But during these times the greatness of

Kalevala was slowly fading and ending. The former great power of Kalevala

was wobbling under the pressure of new religions and masteries. The old gods

had lost all of their power and strength. The people didn’t believe in Odin, Thor,

Iki-Turso or not even in Ukko anymore. Even Väinämöinen was forgotten and

he was seriously considering retiring. Hero of the great hostile expedition to

Pohjola, Seppo Ilmarinen, was now an old grumpy man, powerful Kullervo has

a constant depression and the famous ladies’ man and war hero suffered from

a prostate bother. Only the lance, Iku-Tiera Nieranpoika, maintained the tribe’s

military reputation alive.

只有卡勒瓦拉的勇士与诺夫哥罗德结盟，因为他们曾经成立诺夫哥罗德。但在这

些时期，伟的大卡勒瓦拉在慢慢衰落消亡。之前的卡勒瓦拉大国在新的宗教和统

治的压力下摇摆不定。旧神失去了他们所有的能力和力量。人民再不相信奥丁、

托尔、艾奇图索，甚至是乌戈了。甚至维那莫宁也被遗忘，他在认真考虑退休。

昔日远征波赫约拉争夺三宝的英雄易尔马里宁，现在是一个脾气暴躁的老人。强

大的库勒沃有一直抑郁，著名的讨女人喜欢的男人、战争英雄有前列腺的烦恼。

只有长矛将军，爱酷-提尔拉，维护部落的军事声望，活着。

During these turbulent times a Swedish jarl was gathering armaments by the

Pope’s order to crush the trade republic of Novgorod, which spread false

Christianity. The real reason was that Novgorod had grown far too great centre

of power and was dominating important trade of the east. The Swedish jarl put

together the greatest war party ever seen in Pohjola. He was pursuing princes,

chieftains and mercenaries by promising incredible large hiring wages. The jarl

promised to divide all kind of richness and treasures of Novgorod among his

soldiers. This caused the best archers and lances of Folkunga to join the war

party as well as the armoured German knights, fierce Norwegian offspring of

Vikings, proselytized Estonians and partly pagan suumi's and jäämi's'. The

huge war party moved over the Baltic Sea with a navy, whose other head only

reached the island of Gotland while the other head was already there in the

bottom part of the Baltic Sea.

在这些动荡时期，瑞典首领被教皇下命令，搜集武器粉碎贸易诺夫哥罗德共和国，

传播虚假的基督教。真正的原因是，诺夫哥罗德的力量已经太大了，并主导东方

重要的贸易。瑞典首领建立了波赫约拉最大的主战派。他用很可观的大笔酬劳招

徕公爵、首领和雇佣军。首领答应把所有诺夫哥罗德的钱财和宝藏分给士兵。这

导致最好的弓箭手和长矛将军福尔孔加加入主战派，同时加入的还有德国骑士，

凶猛的挪威海盗的后代，改宗的爱沙尼亚人，以及部分是苏米和加米的异教徒。

巨大的主战派以一支海军转移到波罗的海，他的另一个领袖只达到哥特兰岛，而

另外的领袖已经到了波罗的海的底部部分。

The superiority of the alliance of the armament was multiple compared to the

war party of Novgorod. The end was near for it. At that time the ruler of

Novgorod was a young prince, Aleksanteri the son of Jaroslav. He was only in

his twenties when the international armament beached on the shore of river

Neva to suppress the city of Novgorod. The bourgeois of the city helplessly

begged Aleksanteri to surrender, but Aleksanteri didn’t even take the

suggestion under consideration. Desperate old generals ask Aleksanteri to

arrange the defence of the city according to the old rules of warcraft and

thereby delay honourably the ultimate destruction of the city.

相比于诺夫哥罗德的武器，联盟的优越性是其的好几倍。末日已经不远了。当时

诺夫哥罗德的统治者是一个年轻的王子，雅罗斯拉夫的儿子亚历山大。当国际军

队上到涅瓦河河岸压制诺夫哥罗德市时，他只有二十几岁。城市的中产阶级无助

地恳求亚历山大投降，但亚历山大根本不考虑这建议。绝望的老将军问亚历山大

提出根据旧条例安排城市的防御，从而使城市可以体面地缓慢地走向终极毁灭。

Despite the suggestions, Aleksanteri acted differently than hinted by the fathers

of the city and the generals. He gathered his minor armament and marched

rapidly to confront the enemy. During the foggy hours of the morning ashore of

the Neva river, he succeeded to surprise the alliance and had time to cause a

lot of damage before the enemy was able to get organized for defence and

counter-attack. The fierce battle lasted the whole day but eventually the

superiority of the alliance got too powerful. The troops of Aleksanteri, or what

was left of those, retreated to the beach of the river Neva to defiantly wait for the

final attack.

亚历山大忽略了建议，采取了不同于城市创建者们的和将军们所暗示的行动。他

收集小型武器，迅速面对敌人。在雾蒙蒙的造成登上涅瓦河岸，他成功的惊动了

联盟，并有时间在敌人组织防御和反击之前给他们造成很大的损害。激烈的战斗

持续了一整天，但最终联盟的优越性太强大了。亚历山大的军队，或者说是剩下

的军队，撤退到涅瓦河的海滩，等待最后的攻击。

When the doom already seemed inevitable, the enemy got attacked by a

furious guerrilla group of the Kalevala’s veterans led by Väinämöinen himself.

The blacksmith Ilmarinen swung his heavy hammer instantly breaking a spine

of an enemy, Lieto Lemminkäinen appeared to have grown younger tens of

years as he rode fully armed against the armored knights and the gloomy

Kullervo brought enemies down only by his ferocious swearing. The squire of

Iku-Tiera had his arms full of spears, which got frequently thrown by Tiura

piercing ten enemies with only one spear. Old man Väinämöinen played

powerfully his harp made by the jawbone of a pike. The music and spells sank

the enemies deep into the swamp of the river of Neva. Barely a handful of

soldiers succeeded to escape.

厄运似乎已经不可避免时，敌人被由维那莫宁带领的退伍军人组成的愤怒的游击

队袭击了。铁匠易尔马里宁挥舞他的重锤，瞬间打破敌人的脊柱，列托·勒明盖

宁似乎年轻了几十岁，他全副武装对抗装甲骑士，悲观的库勒沃他用那恶狠狠的

咒骂打败敌人。爱酷-提尔拉乡双臂都拿着矛，提尔拉频率迅速地抛出长矛，一

根就能穿刺十个敌人。老人维那莫宁，有力地弹奏他的梭子鱼颌骨制成的竖琴。

音乐和咒语把敌人击沉入涅瓦河的沼泽。仅有少数士兵成功逃脱。

When the little war party of Aleksanteri returned to the city as winners couldn’t

the residents believe their own eyes. They had already prepared for a painful

death and shameful slavery. The joy of rescue was immense. The victory of

Aleksanteri was celebrated and he was given the title “Nevalainen” (Nevski)

and a messenger was sent to Constantinople to request that Aleksanteri would

be announced as a saint. After all he had saved Byzantium’s Orthodox Church

from falling into the hands of the Catholic Pope.

当亚历山大的小队作为胜利方回到城市时，人们无法相信自己的眼睛。他们已经

准备好痛苦的死亡和可耻的奴隶制。得救的喜悦是巨大的。亚历山大庆祝了他的

胜利，他也被赋予了“涅瓦莱宁”(涅夫斯基)的头衔。一个信使去到君士坦丁堡

要求宣布亚历山大为圣人。毕竟他已经救了落入天主教教皇手中的拜占庭东正教

教堂。

During the two week celebration Lemminkäinen got engaged and slept with

hundred women, Kullervo smiled the first time in his entire life and on request of

the thankful merchants, Ilmarinen the blacksmith forged a handsome statue of

Aleksanteri in the city market. Even old Väinämöinen became younger and

played his harp in the middle of happy crowd of children. He also sang poems of

the great fight where the Swedish jarl got badly beaten up. So bitter was the

defeat for western Christendom that the Pope strictly prohibited writing

anything on chronicles of that awful and shameful defeat. Only the songs of

Väinämöinen and the chronicles of orthodox monks were left behind to tell the

posterity about the amazing victory of Aleksanteri.

在两个星期的庆祝期间，勒明盖宁订婚了，并睡了一百个女人。库勒沃生平第一

次笑了，应感激的商家的要求，易尔马里宁铁匠在城市市场锻造一个英俊的亚历

山大雕像。甚至老维那莫宁也变得年轻了，在群快乐的孩子中弹奏他的竖琴。他

还歌唱瑞典首领被打得落花流水的伟大斗争。战胜了西方基督教国家是如此的苦

难，教皇严格禁止记录任何可怕的和可耻的失败。只有维那莫宁的歌曲和东正的

僧侣们留下的记录告诉后人亚历山大惊人的胜利。

Finally was the time for the veterans of Kalevala to return to Kerimaa.

Lemminkäinen was especially in hurry since he noticed to have gained

hundred angry mother-in-laws. Every single one of them nagged to him all day.

There seemed to be no limit in Aleksanteri’s gratitude towards them. Although

he pointed out that the victory without the soldiers of Kalevala was only matter

of a couple of hours. Aleksanteri swore eternal friendship to Kalevala and

promised to visit Kerimaa next year for the midsummer party. “In Kerimaa

there are so breath-taking views, great fishing and berry-picking lands that I

am going to get some land from there for my summer palace.” he added to his

promise.

最后，是时间让卡勒瓦拉退伍军人回到柯日马了。勒明盖宁尤其匆忙，因为他发

现了数百名愤怒的丈母娘。每一个都对他唠叨了一整天。亚历山大的感激之情似

乎是没有限制。尽管他指出，没有卡勒瓦拉的士兵，胜利也只是几个小时的事。

亚历山大向卡勒瓦拉宣誓永恒的友谊，并承诺明年访问柯日马仲夏的聚会。“在

柯日马有这么惊人的观点，伟大的渔业和挑浆果的土地。我要那里得到一些土地，

来准备给我的夏日宫殿。”他补充诺言。

This was the tale of Aleksanteri Nevalainen, who in the year of 1240

accomplished a great victory at the age of twenty.

这是故事的亚历山大·涅瓦莱宁的故事，他 1240 年，二十多岁时就取得的伟大

胜利。

15. IKU-TIERA’S FAMILY OF WARRIORS 爱酷-提尔拉的战士之家

One of the most significant war heroes was the warrior Iku-Tieran. It is told he

loved to be at war so much that he even abandoned his wife and left her

unsatisfied on their wedding night because he had to make it to the next war.

Despite of the negligence of his responsibilities, his family spread broadly to

Karjala and Savo. Men of the family were all warriors and served the kings of

Sweden and Denmark on their military expeditions as well as among the troops

of the princes of Moscow. The stem living in Finland accepted Savolainen as

their last name due to the pressure coming from priests. Antti Savolainen was

one progenitor of the family, whose oldest sons and grandsons were christened

Antti.

爱酷-提尔拉是最重要的战争英雄之一。据说他非常爱打仗，以至于他甚至在新

婚之夜抛弃了他的妻子，因为他要打下一个战争，这使她很不满意。不管他的不

责任，他的家人还是在的卡里亚拉和萨沃广泛传播开来。家里的人都是勇士，有

为瑞典和丹麦的国王进行军事探险，也有在莫斯科王子的军队。留在芬兰的血脉

迫于牧师的压力接受了萨沃莱宁作为他们的姓。安蒂·萨沃莱宁家族祖先之一，

他的长孙和曾孙的古老的儿子和孙子都是基督徒安蒂。

Family of Iku-Tiera

One Antti Antinpoika (the son of Antti) Savolainen served as an officer in the

troops of the marshal Torkkeli Knuutinpoika in the year of 1293 and was

building up the castle of Viipuri. Antti Antinpoika was there to demand the

Swedish troops during the conquest trip to the entrance of Neva river. Antti

Antinpoika led the construction of the castle of Landskrona in the year of 1299.

Two years later the few numbered defenders of the castle ended up under an

attack of Russian troops led by the prince of Vladimir Andre III Aleksandrovitš.

The castle of Landskrona was destroyed and Antti Antinpoika got captured by

the prince Andre.

安蒂·安蒂波卡（儿子）·萨沃莱宁 1293 年在元帅托克利·库提波卡的部队担

任一名军官，建造维伊普里城堡。安蒂·安蒂波卡有指挥瑞典军队到涅瓦河的入

口的征服之旅。安蒂·安蒂波卡领导建造的的兰斯克鲁纳城堡的建于 1299 年。

两年后的，几个城堡捍卫者在弗拉基米尔•安德烈王子三世亚历山德罗维特领导

的俄罗斯军队攻击下死了。兰斯克鲁纳城堡被毁，安蒂·安蒂波卡被安德烈王子

抓住了。

After realizing that Antti Antinpoika Savolainen was related to the famous hero

of Kalevala Iku-Tiera and that the prince Andrei was the son of Aleksanteri

Nevski ja that the ancestors in question were 60 years before fought together

ashore of the river Neva against the Pope and the king of Sweden and saved

the city of Novgorov from doom, the prince Andrei released Antti Antinpoika ja

invited him as a guest to his castle, Vladimir. In Vladimir, Antti Antinpoika got to

know Anastasia, the niece of the prince Andrei and fell depply in love with her.

They got married and moved to a small village in Moscow. Anastasia gave birth

to a boy, who wasn’t named to be Antti but Aleksandr. The family name

Savolainen changed to name Suvor, which then during the next centuries

moulded to become Suvorov. The male members of the family became

warriors and the most famous of them was Aleksadr Vasiljevitš

Suvorov (1720-1800).

意识到安蒂·安蒂波卡（儿子）·萨沃莱宁是著名的卡勒瓦拉英雄爱酷-提尔拉，

以及安德烈王子是亚历山大·涅夫斯基后，他们的祖先在 60 年前为反对教皇和

瑞典国王一起涅瓦河河岸上战斗过，并拯救了诺夫哥罗德的厄运。安德烈释放安

蒂·安蒂波卡，邀请他作为他的弗拉基米尔城堡的客人。在弗拉基米尔，安蒂·安

蒂波卡认识了阿纳斯塔西娅，安德烈的侄女并爱上了她。他们结婚了，并搬到了

莫斯科一个小村庄。阿纳斯塔西娅生下了一个男孩，不是叫安蒂而是叫亚历山大。

并把姓萨沃莱宁改成了苏沃。然后在接下来的几个世纪塑造成为苏沃罗夫。男性

家庭成员都成为战士，其中最著名的是亚历山大·苏沃罗夫(1720 - 1800)。

Aleksandr Suvorov is considered to be the one of the most genius warlord and

strategista ever lived. Aleksandr Suvorov joined numerous Russian wars in the

end of 18th century. He is still known in the world of war history by not losing

one battle he fought. The ancestor of Aleksander was the veteran of Kerimaa

Iku-Tiera.

亚历山大·苏沃罗夫被认为是最有天分的战神和军事家。他在 18 世纪末参加了

许多俄罗斯战争。他仍然因未输过一场战争而在世界上战争史上闻名。亚历山大

的祖先是柯日马的老将爱酷-提尔拉。

16. VÄINÄMÖINEN IN CHINESE HISTORY 中国历史上的维那莫宁

The earliest Chinese history of creation is very much identical with the

Kalevala's corresponding one. Väinämöinen was born out of an egg of a bluebill

bird. In the Chinese version, the egg in question was a cosmic egg wherefrom

the first living creature, Pan Gu, creator of the worlds, was born. The

congruence of the stories is so clear, that the legend of Pan Gu can be said to

be a later oriental variation of the Kalevala and Väinämöinen mythologies.

中国历史最早的创世神话和卡勒瓦拉相对应的是很相似的。维那莫宁从一个蓝嘴

雀鸟蛋中出生。在中国的版本中，混沌的巨蛋是第一个生物。开天辟地的盘古就

是从中诞生的。神话很相似，盘古的传说可以说是卡勒瓦拉和维那莫宁神话的东

方版本。

In his youth, Väinämöinen spent a lot of time in the Orient. He found it very

comfortable and the people to be hard-working and benevolent. When the

adults were in the fields working, the children used to gather around

Väinämöinen on the village square. Väinämöinen loved sharing stories about

his life in faraway lands. The children called him "Taata" or Uncle Tao. Those

who could not yet say the letter “t” and pronounced the name as Lao.

Väinämöinen was also honoured with the name Zi, which means master. In

later times, the Chinese often referred to Väinämöinen as Lao-Tzu (Laozi).

维那莫宁在年轻的时候，在东方花了很多时间。他发现那里非常舒适的和人民很

勤劳仁慈。大人们在田里工作时，孩子们常常在村子的场地围着维那莫宁。维那

莫宁喜欢分享他在远方生活中的故事。孩子们叫他“大大”或者是道伯伯。那些

说不出“道”的孩子们都喊他老伯伯。维那莫宁也授予“子”的名字，意思是主

人。在以后的时代里，中国通常把维那莫宁认为是老子。

Before long, the adults also started to flock around Uncle Tao to listen to his

stories. Taata-Tao Väinämöinen told about the birth of the world, about

Kalevala and the Northland, the giants and the trolls, and about his friend Yinxi,

who was the keeper of the Western gate. He also advised the parents and

princes and heads of village, who travelled great distances to meet him. Soon

he found himself amidst a group of wise men, who wanted to become his

disciples or just to debate with him.

没过多久，周围的成年人也开始围着他听他讲故事。维那莫宁告诉他们，世界的

诞生，卡勒瓦拉，北国，巨人和巨魔，还有他的朋友看守西门的尹喜。他还给走

很远的路去见他的父母、孩子和村长建议。很快他发现自己处在一群聪明人中，

他们是想成为他的弟子或者是仅仅和他辩论的人。

One of these inquisitive youngsters was Siddhartha Gautama, a prince from a

mountainous country. Siddhartha had been searching for his path in life, but

had yet to find a suitable teacher. But after meeting Väinämöinen, he knew he

had discovered ultimate knowledge and wisdom. Väinämöinen spent a lot of

time conversing with Siddhartha. After discovering Siddhartha's uncertainty

and moodiness, he said: "Listen, Sid, it's always best to take the middle road.

That way you won't fall into the ditch." And that’s when Siddhartha finally felt

enlightened and reached a state of contentment – Nirvana.

其中一个好奇的年轻人是乔达摩·悉达多，他是一个多山的国家的王子。悉达多

在一直寻找他的生命的道路，但尚未找到合适的老师。在与维那莫宁会面后，他

知道他发现了终极知识和智慧。维那莫宁花了很多时间与悉达多交谈。在发现悉

达多的不确定性和情绪化，他说：“听着，悉达。中庸之道总是最好的。这样你

就不会掉进了沟里。”悉达多终于觉得启蒙了，达到满意状态——涅槃。

Kungfutse ( (孔夫子; Kǒngfūzǐ )

Another studious young man, Kung Fu-Tze, was also searching for his place in

this world. Väinämöinen saw that Kung had a very benevolent nature,

respected his parents and those of higher rank, but also firmly defended the

disadvantaged and the oppressed. Väinämöinen and Kung engaged in long

discussions. Finally, Väinämöinen said: "Listen, Kung, you have very good

ideas and goals. Seek the service of some king and give him guidance in ruling

his kingdom. In these troubled times, kings come in abundance, each crueller

than the next. The king whom you serve with your wisdom will be stronger and

better than the rest." Kung followed Väinämöinen's advice. He became the

Emperor's trusted adviser and civilizer of the people. His followers, who

continued to serve the court as civil servants over the next two thousand years,

laid the foundation for its great achievements.

另一个好学的年轻人是孔夫子，他也是这个世界上寻找自己的位置。维那莫宁看

到孔非常仁慈的天性，尊重他的父母和更高等级的人，同时也坚定地为弱势群体

和被压迫者抗争。维那莫宁和孔子讨论了很长时间。最后，维那莫宁说：“听着，

孔子，你有很好的想法和目标。寻找一些国王，给他治理国家的指导。在这些混

乱的时期，国王会有很多，并且一个比一个残忍。辅佐的国王会比其他的更强大。”

孔子遵循了维那莫宁的建议。他成为了皇帝信任的指导者和人民的教化者。他的

追随者，继续作为人民公仆在接下来的二千年里为人民服务，为它的伟大的成就

奠定了基础。

17. THE CHINESE CELESTIAL ORDER 中国的天庭秩序

Two or three thousand years ago, Väinämöinen was known in China by the

name of Laozi. He taught the Chinese many useful things and shared the

secrets of fire, iron and silk. He introduced the art of printing and later

gunpowder so that the Chinese could better celebrate their many festivities. As

the Chinese could not use the same means of payment as was used in

Kalevala, i.e. squirrel skins, Väinämöinen came up with a more practical

solution and invented paper money.

两三千年以前，维那莫宁以老子的名字在中国被熟知。他教中国很多有用的东西

并共享了火，铁和丝绸的秘密。他引进了了印刷艺术，后来是火药，这样中国可

以更好的庆祝他们的许多节日。中国不能和卡勒瓦拉使用相同的支付，即松鼠皮，

维那莫宁想出了一个更实用的解决方案，发明了纸币。

The most important thing, however, was the determination with which the

Oriental Laotzi-Väinämöinen promoted the culture and civilization of the East.

His most talented students included Siddhartha Gautama, who later became

known as Buddha, and Master Kong or Confucius. Since Väinämöinen was

quite preoccupied with the many events taking place at home and in other parts

of the world, he and his wise students came up with a similar divine system of

governance that the ancient Greeks and other peoples have used.

然而，最重要的事情是东方的老子-维那莫宁下定决心促进了东方的文化和文明。

他最有才华的学生包括乔达摩·悉达多，后来称为佛祖，还有孔夫子或者说是孔

子。自维那莫宁非常关注许多发生在国内外的事件，他和他的聪明的学生想出了

一个古希腊和别人曾使用过的类似神圣的管理体系。

Here, the Jade Emperor was at the top of the pack. The system itself was

based on the Trinity doctrine, which was later adopted by the Early Christians.

The Holy Trinity: The Jade Emperor, the Holy Spirit Dao and the wise Goddess

of Dawn. When people suggested that Väinämöinen or Laozi should also be

identified as the highest divinity, he modestly declined. However, he was very

generous with the other deities: death was assigned to ten different gods and

happiness to three.

在这里，玉皇大帝是老大。系统本身是基于三位一体教义，这是后来被早期基督

徒接受的。三位一体：玉皇大帝，圣灵道和智慧的黎明女神。当人们认为维那莫

宁或者老子也应认定为最高的神，他谦虚地拒绝了。然而，他对其他神非常慷慨：

十个神掌管死亡，三个掌管幸福。

Laozi created a complex heavenly bureaucracy with separate ministries for

thunder and wind, war, wealth and literature. Below the ministries there were

officials administered by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak and the

Dragon Kings.

老子创建一个复杂的天庭官僚机构，机构有独立部门：雷、风、战争、财富和文

学。部门以下是由东岳大帝和龙王管理的官员。

The gods that Väinämöinen referred to were, of course, not actual deities, but

distinguished soldiers, philosophers, civil servants and other similar people.

One of these ingenious individuals was a soldier called Guan Yu, who was

nominated to be the God of War. During Väinämöinen’s long absences, the

system worked after a fashion, but as time passed, it did, of course, turn into a

rigid bureaucracy that nobody could control.

维那莫宁指的是神，当然，不是真正的神，是杰出的士兵，哲学家，公务员和其

他类似的人。其中的一个巧妙的人是一个叫关羽的战士，他被提名为战神。维那

莫宁长期缺席期间，系统运行不太好。随着时间的推移，当然，它变成一个僵化

的官僚主义，没人能控制。

18. THE STORY OF VÄINÄMÖINEN AND THE MONKEY KING

(short version) (孫悟空;)

维那莫宁传说和美猴王（简写版）

In spite of the heavenly hierarchy developed by Laozi-Väinämöinen, life in

ancient China was not always stable. There was much plotting and outright

rebellions against the Jade Emperor, mostly by a warrior king called the

Monkey King and his invincible guards nicknamed the Monkeys. The Monkey

King travelled around the provinces and was happy to speak to ordinary people.

His wild ways and funny encounters were widely reported throughout the

Kingdom, and in time, they turned into legends. As the Emperor's military was

no match for this rogue King, the ministers decided to solve the problem in a

pragmatic manner, i.e. by using bribes. The Monkey King was offered an

important post in the court of the Jade Emperor. Flattered by the offer, he

accepted the job only to discover that it was actually a humble job as a

stableman. Infuriated, the Monkey King returned home to his own province,

where he was the undefeated king and loved by his people.

尽管天庭的结构由老子-维那莫宁发展而成，但是中国古代生活并不总是稳定的。

有很多对玉皇大帝的反抗，主要由叫做猴王的斗战王发起的，他还有一个无敌的

绰号叫美猴王。美猴王游历了很多省份，很高兴跟普通人说话。他狂野的方式和

有趣的遭遇在整个王国广泛传播。随着时间，它们变成了传说。玉皇大帝的人没

人打得过这泼猴，于是大臣们决定以务实的方式来解决这个问题，即通过贿赂。

玉皇大帝在天庭上给美猴王提供了一个重要职位。他受宠若惊地接受了工作，却

发现它实际上是一个卑微的马夫。美猴王被激怒了，回到自己花果山，在那里他

是不败的猴王，而且被他的猴子猴孙爱戴和。

Rebellion against the Emperor continued as did the robberies of the Imperial

tax collectors. Li, the Emperor's military commander, sent a large army to

subdue the stubborn Monkey King, but the King led his well-trained elite troops

to an easy victory.

他继续反抗玉皇大帝，抢劫了很多神仙。玉皇大帝的军事指挥官，李天王派了一

个庞大的军队征服顽固的美猴王，但是猴王率领他的训练有素的精锐部队很容易

获得了的胜利。

Again, the Monkey King was offered a post at the Imperial Court, this time in a

slightly more prominent position. The Monkey King travelled to the Court, but

instead of submitting to the Emperor’s will, robbed the Imperial treasury during

a party organised by the Empress. The Monkey King and his victorious army

returned home, and with the Imperial treats stolen from the party, organised a

grand feast for his subjects. Even today, this day is commemorated on the 15th

of the eight month of the lunar calendar. The Mid-Autumn Festival is

traditionally celebrated by women and children, but not by men, as the Jade

Emperor's elite troops were not able to defeat the Monkey King's warriors.

美猴王再次向天庭发了战书，这次是要一个更重要的位置。美猴王前往天庭，他

没有服从玉皇大帝的意志，而是洗劫了王母娘娘的蟠桃大会。美猴王和他的胜利

的军队带着从天宫盗取的东西回了家，并为他的臣民组织了一场盛大的宴会。即

使在今天，这一天是农历的 8 月 15 日也会庆祝。中秋节是妇女和儿童庆祝的传

统上节日，但不是男人的，因为玉皇大帝的精锐部队无法打败美猴王的勇士。

The Jade Emperor was furious and turned to Laozi-Väinämöinen for advice.

The Monkey King had become a problem that had to be solved one way or

another. Väinämöinen knew the Monkey King very well, because they had

been on many adventures and campaigns together. They had become friends,

who enjoyed hunting in Kalevala, had participated in the Trojan War, robbed

the Sampo, and accompanied the Argonauts on their quest. Väinämöinen knew

that the Emperor was up against an impossible task, as he himself had made

the King immortal. And as if that was not enough, he and the King had travelled

to the underworld, Tuonela, to wipe the Monkey King's name from the list of

those to be collected by death.

玉皇大帝很愤怒，他向老子-维那莫宁征求意见。美猴王已经成为一个必须解决

的问题。维那莫宁很了解美猴王，因为他们一起经历过许多冒险和活动。他们成

为了朋友，在卡勒瓦拉享受打猎，参加了特洛伊战争，抢了三宝，应他们要求陪

了阿尔戈英雄。维那莫宁知道玉皇大帝这次是一项不可能完成的任务，因为他自

己让猴王长生不老。这还不够,他和猴王曾前往阴间，把美猴王的名字从阎王的

生死簿上擦掉。

However, now Väinämöinen felt that the Monkey King should finally grow up.

He remembered his old student Siddhartha Gautama, who was living and

teaching in India at the time. Väinämöinen advised the Emperor to give the

Monkey King an important, but dangerous mission: the King should escort

monk Xuan Zang to India and bring back the Buddha's sacred writings. Just as

Väinämöinen had anticipated, this journey changed the King completely, and

he lived the rest of his life as Sun Wukong, a much respected teacher and

scholar.

然而，现在维那莫宁觉得美猴王应该要长大了。他想起了他的老学生乔达摩·悉

达多，在印度生活和教学。维那莫宁建议玉帝给孙悟空一个重要但危险的任务：

派他护送和尚玄奘到印度取经并带回佛经。正如维那莫宁所料，这段旅程完全改

变了猴王，他的余生都叫做孙悟空，成为了受人尊敬的教师和学者。

In the course of time, the Monkey King's life has inspired many stories and

songs, making him a very popular figure in Chinese culture and art. He has, in

fact, become immortal, just as Laozi-Väinämöinen once promised.

随着时间的发展，孙悟空的生平给很多故事和歌曲灵感，使他成为中国文化和艺

术史上一个非常受欢迎的人物。事实上，他已不朽，正如老子-维那莫宁曾经承

诺的。

19. ADMIRAL ZHENG'S 8TH EXPEDITION 郑和第八次海上之航

For Europeans such explorers as Columbus, Magalhaes and Vasco da

Gama are great men in the history of the world. However, in global history

research Chinese admiral Zheng He (1371- ?) who sailed the seas for nearly

thirty years at the request of his Emperor, rises above others.

对欧洲人来说探险家哥伦布，安文思和瓦斯科·达·伽马是世界历史上的伟人

。然而，在全球历史研究中，被皇帝委派，在海上横行近三十年的中国海军上

将郑和(1371 - ?)，地位高于他人。

Officially the admiral headed seven expeditions, but since the archives of the

Ming Dynasty were destroyed, the exact number of his expeditions cannot be

established with certainty. Especially the final stages of the seventh

expedition remain unclear and somewhat contradictory.

官方记载，郑和有过七探险。但自从明朝的史料被毁，他探险的确切数字无法确

定。特别是第七次探险的最后阶段仍不清楚，有些矛盾。

Official version: 7th expedition between 1431 and 1433

官方版本：1931-1433 年第七次探险

After the death of the emperor Zhu Di in 1424 his successor Zhu Zhanji

became the emperor in 1426. Admiral Sheng He had conducted six successful

expeditions since 1405 at the request of the previous emperor, and in summer

1430 the new emperor orders Zheng He to prepare for yet another expedition.

The last great journey towards the West Pacific Ocean begins in January 1431

heading towards Champa, Java, Sumatra, Malaka, Ceylon and finally to

Calicut where the crew arrives in December 1432. Zheng He is ordered to

return home, but dies suddenly at the age of 62 as a result of a fit on the way

home in summer 1433.

1424 年，皇帝朱棣薨。他的继任者朱朱瞻基语在 1426 年登上皇位。郑和自 1405

年起，受皇帝之命，已成功地进行了 6 次探险。1430 年夏季新皇帝下令郑和为

下一个探险做准备。最后一个伟大的西太平洋之旅始于 1431 年 1 月，驶向向占

城、爪哇、苏门答腊、马拉卡、锡兰,最后到卡利卡特，船员于 1432 年 12 月抵

达。郑和是被召回的，但 1433 年夏季在回去的路上突然去世，享年 62 岁。

Emperor Zhu Zhanji and navigator Zheng He

What really happened? The 8th expedition (Kerimaa history research):

到底发生了什么？第八届探险(柯日马历史研究):

Emperor Zhu Zhanji was known for his great thirst for knowledge. The

Emperor was particularly interested in the old tales of the wizard king

Väinämöinen. The ancient tales of Kalevala have much in common with the

pre-history of China. Copies of the thousands of years old tales of

Väinämöinen, Kerimaa and Kalevala were available in the imperial library

taking up a room of their own, but unfortunately nearly all the archives of the

Ming dynasty were later destroyed.

皇帝朱瞻基以他巨大的求知欲闻名。皇帝对的巫师维那莫宁的故事是特别感兴趣

。古代的卡勒瓦拉传说与中国的史前历史有很多共同之处。维那莫宁的神话在

几千年历史中被复制，柯日马和卡勒瓦拉帝都有自己的图书馆，但不幸的是几乎

所有的明朝档案后来都被摧毁了。

Emperor's secret expedition 皇帝的秘密探险

When commencing the admiral for his seventh expedition, the Emperor

gave secret instructions to the admiral regarding the purpose and destination

of their journey. The reason for such secrecy was the internal battle for power

at the court which endangered the Emperor's activities, and even his power.

The kung fu officials did not approve, and also distained exchange with

foreigners regarding it both unnecessary and detrimental to the Chinese

culture.

当开始第七次远征时，皇帝给郑和下了关于旅行的目的和目标的密令。这种保密

的原因是在内部权力斗争危及皇帝的行动，甚至他的权力。武官没有批准，他们

厌恶嫌弃与外国人交流，认为对中国文化是不必要的、有害的。

Since the domestic politics, the battle for power and intrigues of the court

posed and ever-increasing danger, the Emperor ordered the Admiral Zheng

He to stage his own death, and then freely commence the 8th expedition. The

aim of this expedition was to find the mythic Kalevala and its center Kerimaa.

Additionally, the aim was to gain information about the countries and cultures

of the lands of the setting sun.

自从国内政治、争夺权力和朝廷阴谋的出现，危险不断增加，皇帝下令郑和筹划

自己的死亡，然后开始第八探险。本探险的目的是找到神秘的卡勒瓦拉及其中心

柯日马。此外,目的是获得其他国家的信息和日落之国的文化。

Mysterious 8th expedition between 1433 and 1445

1433 年至 1445 年之间神秘的第八次探险

After staging his own death, the admiral sailed together with his loyal crew on

three gigantic 125 meter long Ocean Dzonk vessels around the cape of Africa.

On the southern Atlantic Ocean a great storm hit the vessels, and one of them

sank while others landed on the continent of South America. The Chinese

explorers met various indigenous tribe, and among others also a tribe whose

language resembled an ancient Chinese dialect. Thy also encountered a small

white tribe whom the admiral considered to be the remaining few of the first

inhabitants of the continent.

在筹划自己的死亡之后，郑和和他忠诚的船员上了三只巨大的 125 米长的巨大

的船只航行在非洲好望角。南大西洋上的一场巨大的风暴袭击了船只，其中一个

沉没了，而其他落在南美大陆。中国探险家遇到各种土著部落，其中一个部落的

语言就像古老的中国方言的一种。他们还遇到了一个白人小部落，郑和认为他们

是大陆的第一批居民。

After collecting some flora and fauna, and exchanging goods with the tribes,

Zheng He headed north along the coast. In the Caribbean they encountered

and fought against various hostile tribes, and lost a great number of their men

and yet another of their vessels. The admiral also sent two delegations to the

west with gold, silk and spices to meet the Inca and Aztec rulers.

收集一些动植物，与部落和交换商品后，郑和沿着海岸向北行使。他们在加勒比

海遇到并对抗了各种敌对部落，并且损失了很多的人以及他们另一只船。郑和也

派了两名代表西方，用金子、丝绸和香料满足印加和阿兹特克的统治者。

Hurricane in the Atlantic

On their way to the north, the expedition faced various new indigenous

tribes, and with a few exceptions, they were generally well received and the

admiral collected abundant information to deliver to the Emperor. Around what

is now known as Newfoundland Zheng He headed towards North-East. After

sailing past Greenland and Iceland, Zheng He was certain that their expedition

had reached the right latitude but was yet too far in the west. Yet another storm

hit the vessel on the coast of Iceland, and the last Dzonk vessel hit the rocks.

Some of the crew managed to escape, and the admiral acquired a large fishing

ship from the locals. The journey continued across the North Sea and the

straits of Denmark towards the coast of Finland.

在向北的路上，这次探险面临各种新的土著部落。除了少数例外，他们普遍获得

好评，郑和收集丰富的信息上交给皇帝。到了现在被称为纽芬兰的附近，郑和转

向东北。郑和航海经过了格陵兰岛和冰岛后，确信他们的远征达到正确的纬度，

但在太靠西。然而另一个风暴在冰岛海岸袭击的船只，最后船触礁。一些船员设

法逃脱，郑和从当地人手里获得大量的捕鱼船。旅程继续经过北海和丹麦海峡通

向芬兰海岸。

Zheng He write a report to the Emperor

After encountering various challenges the remaining ten strong crew

reached Kermaa in 1445. The wizard Väinämöinen had departed to the North,

and only ruins remained of the ancient kingdom of Kerimaa. Local poetic

singers sang the songs of the glorious days of Kerimaa to the admiral. Admiral

Zheng He died at the age of 84, and his loyal followers burned his body and

spread the ashes near the great stone of Kerimaa. A local stone cutter who

attended the service carved an obituary in the stone. The remains of the

expedition crew headed home to China but died one after another on the

journey back. The last survival, eunuch Bao, made it to Constantinople where

the Byzantines arrested him since they believed him to be a Turkish spy. Bao

completed the expedition report to the Emperor and drew a new map of the

world. Constantinople was destroyed under the attack of the Turks in 1454,

and the report disappeared. And Columbus "discovered" America 39 years

later

在遇到各种挑战后，还剩十个强壮的船员，在 1445 年达到柯日马。巫师维那莫

宁离开北部，只剩下古代柯日马王国的废墟。当地诗意的歌手向郑和唱歌，歌颂

柯日马光辉的日子。郑和死于 84 岁，他的忠实追随者焚化了他的尸体，并撒在

了柯日马巨石附近。当地的石材切割人员，参与了把讣告雕刻在石头上这一服务。

探险船员的遗体送回到中国，但在返程中一个接一个地去世了。最后存活的暴姓

太监，来到了君士坦丁堡。拜占庭帝国逮捕了他，因为他们认为他是一个土耳其

间谍。暴将完成考察报告皇帝，画了一个新的世界地图。君士坦丁堡在 1454 年

在土耳其的攻击下被摧毁，报告就消失了。39 年后哥伦布“发现”了美洲。

20. VÄINÄMÖINEN IN THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN 维那莫宁在旭日之国

At the beginning of times, when the world was being born, the air was

filled with confusion and enthusiasm. The wizard Väinämöinen was the first to

start systematically bringing order into the chaos. The task at hand was a

massive one, and he needed help in creating and building. All the corners of the

world were under the influence of strong forces, and flows of visible and

invisible energy rocked the Earth. Among men, these forces later became

known as gods.

在开始，世界诞生时，空气中充满着困惑和热情。巫师维那莫宁是第一个开始系

统地将秩序引入混乱。手头的任务是巨大的,他需要帮助创造和建设。世界的所

有角落都是强大力量的影响下，流动的各种有形和无形的能量冲击地球。男人中

强者，后来被称为神。

Once the ground had cooled and the celestial bodies were firmly on their orbits,

Väinämöinen set out toward the sunrise. He met Izanagi, who was mighty in

force but very lonely. Väinämöinen introduced Izanagi to a beautiful maiden,

Izanami. The two fell in love and decided to show their gratitude to

Väinämöinen by promising their still unborn daughter to him as a bride.

Väinämöinen visited Izanagi and Izanami often, sometimes bringing the

blacksmith Ilmarinen or warriors Lemminkäinen and Iku-Tiera along with him.

Upon his travels, Väinämöinen became acquainted with Izanagi and Izanami’s

three daughters, and eventually proposed to the beautiful Amaterasu. However,

the never-ending wrangling among the girls soon wore him out and he

abandoned Amaterasu. It is generally believed that Väinämöinen is the great

grandfather of Jimmu, Japan's first emperor.

一旦地面冷却，天体坚定地在它们的轨道，维那莫宁向日出之地出发。他遇到

了强大却孤独的伊邪那岐。维那莫宁给伊邪那岐介绍给一个美丽的少女，伊邪

那美。他们两个相爱了，决定感谢维那莫宁，承诺仍未出生的女儿作他的新娘

。维那莫宁经常拜访伊邪那岐和伊邪那美，有时把铁匠易尔马里宁或战士勒明

盖宁、爱酷-提尔拉带上。在他旅行期间，维那莫宁熟悉了伊邪那岐和伊邪那美

的三个女儿,并最终向美丽的天照大神求婚了。然而，女孩们无休止的争吵使他

放弃了天照大神。人们普遍认为维那莫宁是日本第一任天皇为，日本的第一皇

帝神武天皇的曾祖父。

Väinämöinen, Izanagi and Izanami

21.VÄINÄMÖINEN IN ANCIENT GREECE 维那莫宁在古希腊

At the beginning of time Väinämöinen enjoyed wandering the length and

breadth of the Earth. Often he was accompanied by one of the Kalevala heroes.

On this particular occasion, his companion was Iku-Tiera, head of the Kalevala

warriors and a renowned spearman.

在一开始的时候维那莫宁喜欢在地球到处闲逛。卡勒瓦拉英雄中的一个经常是

伴随着他。在这个特别的场合，他的同伴爱酷-提尔拉是卡勒瓦拉战士首领以及

著名的长矛将军。

While heading south, Väinämöinen told Iku-Tiera stories about the time when

the world was still young.

朝南走时，维那莫宁告诉爱酷-提尔拉世界还年轻的时候故事。

“You should have seen the fussing and the fighting,” Väinämöinen said. “First

there was Chaos, a great void of emptiness, but then Gaia was born, hanging in

the middle of the void. Then Eros, love, emerged, and then Nyx who was the

night, and Erebus, the darkness. Gaia gave birth to Uranus, the sky, and

Pontus, who was the sea. But then everything went completely mad. Uranus

slept with his mother, Gaia, and the Titans and the Cyclops and the monsters

with a hundred arms were born. Things went from bad to worse and at one point

Cronus, one of Uranus' sons, castrated his father to stop him from breeding

more monsters. Sadly, the plan did not work out and the Erinyes, the Giants

and the Nymphs emerged. I used to attend their family gatherings and was

utterly confused about the connections between these gods and half-gods. A

furious power struggle started and led to much fighting, intrigue, fraud, mixed

marriages, and even incest. Luckily the people finally took over. You might find

it hard to believe, but at that time the men actually brought some sense to this

crazy world.”

“你应该已经看到了争吵和打斗，”维那莫宁说。“首先这是一团混沌，一个巨

大的空洞。然后，盖亚出生就在空洞的中间。之后是爱神厄洛斯出现了，然后司

夜女神尼克斯，黑暗之神厄瑞玻斯也出现了。盖亚生了天空之神乌拉诺斯，海神

蓬托斯。但是后来一切完全疯了。乌拉诺斯睡了母亲盖亚，生了泰坦，独眼巨人

和百臂怪物。事情越来越糟，乌拉诺斯的儿子克罗诺斯想阉了他的父亲，阻止他

生更多的怪物。遗憾的是，这个计划没有实现，厄里倪厄斯巨人和纽墨菲出生了。

我曾参加他们的家庭聚会，对于这些神和半神之间的连接很是困惑。一场激烈的

权力斗争开始，带来很多战斗、阴谋、欺诈、异族通婚、甚至乱伦。幸运的是，

人们终于接管了。你可能很难相信，但当时，实际上是人给这个疯狂的世界带了

一些理智。”

“People can sometimes be quite smart,” Väinämöinen said and smiled. “Come,

I want to introduce you to one of the wise ones.”

“人们有时很聪明，”维那莫宁说着，笑了。“来吧,我想把你介绍给一个明智

的人。”

Väinämöinen led Iki-Tiera to an agora, the market square of a small town. They

found a group of young students and in their midst, an old man dressed in a

white robe. The man was Pythagoras, a philosopher and a mathematician. A

heated debate seemed to have broken between those present.

维那莫宁把爱酷-提尔拉带到一个集市，小镇的一个市场广场。他们发现一群年

轻学生以及在他们中间一个穿着白色长袍的老人。这人是毕达哥拉斯，他是哲学

家和数学家。他们之间的激烈的辩论似乎已经爆发了。

“Väinämöinen,” Pythagoras exclaimed, “you have no idea how happy I am to

see you.”

“维那莫宁，”毕达哥拉斯说，“你不知道我见到你是多么高兴。”

“Pytha, old chap. What's going on? We could hear you all the way to the hills.”

“老毕，老伙计。发生什么事了？我们在山上都可以听到你。”

The philosopher gave a small sigh. “I have just discovered that the Earth is

round, not flat as a pancake like these morons seem to think. I can prove the

matter in theory, but not in practice. Väinämöinen, you know the truth, but how

can I convince these fools?”

哲学家稍微松了一口气。“我刚刚发现地球是圆的，不是白痴想的像煎饼一样滴

平的。我可以在理论上证明这件事，但不能付诸行动。维那莫宁，你知道真相，

但我怎么能说服这些傻瓜？”

“Well, well, well,” Väinämöinen said. “Yes, obviously you're right. To prove it

you could start walking west. If you continue long enough without deviating

from the route, in time you will arrive at this very same square, but from the

east. Of course you would have to swim quite a lot and the trip could take

years to complete.”

“嗯，嗯，嗯，”维那莫宁说，“是的，显然你是对的。要想证明你可以开始向

西走。如果你持续的时间足够长，没有偏离路线，最后你将从东方到达这个广场

。当然，你要游很多泳，而且这旅途可能需要花费数年时间才能完成。”

After hearing Väinämöinen's words, the students burst out laughing. “That

grey-haired chap is even sillier than our teacher.”

听到维那莫宁的话后，学生们大笑起来。“这头发灰白的老家伙甚至比我们的老

师还愚蠢。”

Väinämöinen thought for a moment. “Actually there is another, faster way.

Tiera, take you spear and follow me. Look, you fools. See that big oak over

there? My friend will cast his spear in front of the oak to the west, and the

spear will reappear from the east.”

维那莫宁想了一会儿。“其实还有一个更快的方法。提尔拉，带着你的矛，跟我

来。看好了，你们这些傻瓜。看到那边的大橡树吗？我的朋友会把他的长矛投向

橡树，矛将从东边出现。”

And so Iku-Tiera, the mighty spearman from Kalevala, thrust his spear

westward. The crowd stood waiting and when nothing happened, started to

ridicule the teacher and his learned friend. But soon, there was the spear,

flying speedily through the air and finally hitting the side of the great oak tree.

所以卡勒瓦拉强大的长矛将军爱酷-提尔拉把他的长矛向西投去。人们站着等

待，什么也没发生，他们开始嘲笑老师和他的朋友。但是很快，有长矛迅速从空

中飞过，最后撞到了大橡树一边。

Pythagoras rejoiced. This theory had also been proven both theoretically and

empirically. If you draw a straight line from point A around the world, the line

will meet point A again. “Each of you will write down the theorem a hundred

times on your clay tablets by tomorrow morning.”

毕达哥拉斯很欢喜。这个理论从理论上和实践上都已证明。如果从点 A，你围绕

地球画一条直线，线会回到点 A。“明天早晨，你们每个人会都把这个定理在泥

板上写一百遍。”

Content, Väinämöinen and Iku-Tiera continued their journey.

维那莫宁和爱酷-提尔拉满意地继续他们的旅程。

Iku-Tiera throw the spear around the globe

22. VÄINÄMÖINEN IN MESOPOTAMIA 维那莫宁在美索不达米亚

In his youth Väinämöinen enjoyed wandering in the Middle East. He liked

watching the old empires rise and fall, the bloody battles, and the endless

scheming between the kings and the emperors. Since the times were restless

and the wars ongoing, Väinämöinen was often accompanied by his trusted

warriors Iku-Tiera and Lemminkäinen. Before long, however, Lemminkäinen

had to be excluded from the adventures, as the distant kingdoms started seeing

many new blond, blue-eyed children. And since many of these children were

born to the daughters or the wives of kings, feelings were hurt, although in

Väinämöinen's opinion the declining royal families should have been happy to

receive a drop or two of new blood.

维那莫宁年轻的时候喜欢在中东游荡。他喜欢看旧帝国的崛起与衰落，血腥的战

斗，以及国王和皇帝之间无尽的算计。自从时间不定，战争不断，维那莫宁把他

的信任的战士爱酷-提尔拉和勒明盖宁带在身边。然而，不久后，勒明盖宁退出

探险，因为遥远王国开始看到许多金发碧眼孩子。自从国王的女儿或妻子生出这

些孩子后，感情很受伤，尽管在维那莫宁看来，衰落的皇室应该乐于接受新一两

滴鲜血液。

23. GILGAMESH 吉尔伽美什

Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, and his constant companion Enkidu, were among

Väinämöinen’s oldest friends. Together they experienced some amazing

adventures. Väinämöinen showed Gilgamesh the path to Tuonela and as

someone experienced in travelling to the Underworld gave him some valuable

advice. Gilgamesh was also there when the warriors robbed the Sampo

miracle machine from the Northland back to Kalevala.

乌鲁克的国王吉尔伽美什和他的形影不离的伙伴恩奇杜也是维那莫宁的老朋友。

他们一起经历了一些令人惊奇的冒险。维那莫宁给吉尔伽美什展示了通向图翁内拉

的路，并作为一个经验丰富的地狱旅行者，给了他一些有价值的建议。当卡勒瓦

拉的战士要从北国抢回神奇的三宝时，吉尔伽美什也在场。

When Gilgamesh found himself trapped in a very troubled love affair with the

divine Ishtar (in Kalevala known as Ilmatar) he came to Väinämöinen for

advice. Väinämöinen told Gilgamesh that he knew the heinous Ishtar-Ilmatar

maiden only too well. "Once, when we were swimming together, she dumped

me off her lap. Truly an evil woman. Do yourself a favour and keep away from

her." Gilgamesh followed Väinämöinen’s advice only to face the fury of an

enraged woman.

吉尔伽美什的发现自己被困在与神女伊师塔(卡勒瓦拉称之为伊尔玛达尔)的麻

烦的恋情时，他找到维那莫宁寻求建议。维那莫宁告诉吉尔伽美什，他知道太了

解可憎的伊师塔-伊尔玛达尔了。“有一次，我们在一起游泳，她把我甩了她的

大腿上。真是个邪恶的女人。帮自己一个忙，离她远点。”吉尔伽美什遵从维那

莫宁的建议面对这个被激怒的女人的愤怒。

One time Gilgamesh and Väinämöinen made a bet on which of them would

sleep longer. Väinämöinen made a wager of a hundred squirrel skins and slept

a week longer than Gilgamesh. When he awoke, he found 100 beautifully

worked lion skins next to him.

"I wasn’t able to find any squirrels, but will lions do?" Yes, they did.

有一次吉尔伽美什和维那莫宁打赌谁会睡得更久些。维那莫宁下了松一百张鼠皮

作赌注，结果比吉尔伽美什长多睡个星期。当他醒来时，他发现 100 漂亮的硝

好的狮子皮他旁边。

“我无法找到任何松鼠，狮子皮可以吗？是的，他们可以。

24. NOAH AND NIMROD 诺亚和宁录

The Hebrew Noah had been given a very tight deadline for his shipbuilding

project. In order to finish the ark one time, Noah turned to Väinämöinen who

happened be an experienced boat builder. Väinämöinen and his brother

Ilmarinen were only too happy to help. Väinämöinen carved the bowsprit while

Ilmarinen forged the heavy anchor and chains. Then the brothers helped Noah

to bring all sorts of animals on board. Without Väinämöinen, there would be

no reindeer and polar bears alive today.

希伯来·诺亚一造船项目的最后期限非常紧。为了按时完成一方舟，诺亚转向恰

巧是经验丰富的船工的维那莫宁寻求帮助。维那莫宁和他的兄弟易尔马里宁非常

乐意帮助他。维那莫宁雕刻船首斜桅，易尔马里宁锻造沉重的锚和铁链。然后两

兄弟帮助诺亚带来各种各样的动物上船。没有维那莫宁，也就不会有今天的驯鹿

和北极熊了。

When the storm and the rainy years had passed, Väinämöinen also became

acquainted with Noah's son Haam and Haam's son Nimrod. Väinämöinen and

Nimrod hunted a lot together, and Väinämöinen invited Nimrod to fish in the

lakes of Kerimaa and Kalevala. Nimrod was very impressed by the old-growth

forests of Huosio, by the little secret lakes in Kerimaa, and the wilderness of

Lapland.

当风暴和雨年过去后，维那莫宁也与挪亚的儿子含和含的儿子宁录也变得熟悉起

来。维那莫宁经常和宁录打猎，维那莫宁邀请宁录到柯日马的湖泊和卡勒瓦拉钓

鱼。宁录对霍西奥原始森林，柯日马秘密的小湖，拉普兰旷野印象非常深刻。

Nimrod was the King of Babylon, Erech, Accad and Calnea, and thus, in his

opinion, the ruler of the entire world. Väinämöinen reminded the King that he

had also seen other vast kingdoms and that Nimrod's lands only covered a very

small corner on the edge of the Earth. Nimrod was upset by the news, but soon

relented, as he had a great construction project in mind. He wanted to build a

pyramid that would tower all the way to the sky. Nimrod remembered his

grandfather Noah's ark, which the men from Kalevala had helped to build.

Reluctantly, Väinämöinen promised that his brother Ilmarinen would manage

the project. Väinämöinen himself would return to Kalevala, where he had some

unresolved issues with one Joukahainen.

宁录是巴比伦、乌鲁克、阿卡德和卡恩的国王，因此,在他看来，他是整个世界

的统治者。维那莫宁提醒他，他还看到了其他庞大的王国，宁录的土地只覆盖了

地球边缘很小的一角。消息让宁录很沮丧，但很快就放弃了。因为他在心里有一

个伟大的建筑项目。他想建立一个金字塔，一直通到天空。宁录记得祖父诺亚在

卡勒瓦拉人帮忙下建造的方舟。维那莫宁勉强承诺他的兄弟易尔马里宁将管理项

目。他自己回到卡勒瓦拉，去解决与尤卡海宁一些未解决的问题。

In a few years’ time Ilmarinen returned to Kalevala. He was angry. “That Nimrod

is one greedy jerk. At first everything went well. But then, the Babylon treasury

began to dwindle and Nimrod hired cheap labourers from foreign lands. Mere

farm boys, who did not know the local language, let alone construction

terminology! It was no good. When I ordered bricks to be brought, they brought

mortar. And when I used sign language to show them what I wanted, the mortar

had already dried. The different tribes kept drinking and fighting all night long.

During the day, things were no better since they couldn’t understand each other.

And when I quit and demanded to be paid, Nimrod said that there was nothing

to be paid as I had volunteered for the job. That man is no good. No good at all.”

在几年后，易尔马里宁回到了卡勒瓦拉。他非常生气。“那宁录是一个贪婪的混

蛋。起初一切都很顺利。但是之后，巴比伦财政开始减少，宁录雇佣来自外国的

廉价劳工。不过是些农家男孩，不知道当地语言，更别说建筑术语了！这很不好。

当我下令搬砖时，他们拿来了灰浆。当我用手语告诉他们我想要什么时，泥浆已

经干了。不同部落整夜都在喝酒打架。白天的事情没有更好，因为他们无法理解

对方。之后，我不干了，要求支付酬劳，宁录说没有酬劳，因为我是义务做这份

工作。那个人太坏了。太坏了。“

Tower of Babel

“You’re right, brother," replied Väinämöinen, "and he’s not much of a

fisherman, either. He couldn’t even get the great Sylkynjärvi pike into the boat

although I was right there to give him advice.”

“你说的对，兄弟，”维那莫宁回答说，“他只不过是个渔夫。。他甚至不能

把赛尔科亚贾维的梭子鱼弄上船，尽管在我是这里给他的建议之下。”

25. VÄINÄMÖINEN IN EDEN 维那莫宁在伊甸园

It was pleasant for Väinämöinen to stop by the Garden of Eden while he was

travelling. It was wonderful place with the plants and animals. There were four

rivers flowing between plateaus and hills, the trees were carrying range of

different fruits and in the forests all the different species lived together in

harmony. Väinämöinen found the familiar cottage close to the stream.

旅行期间，维那莫宁停愉快的留在了伊甸园。这是好地方，有植物和动物。在高

原和丘陵之间有四条流动的河流，森林里树木结着在各种不同的水果，所有不同

的物种和谐地在这里生活。维那莫宁发现了小河旁边的小屋。

- Hey Adam, are you home?

- Oh hello Väiski, here I am, Adam responded from the cottage

- What are you doing in there?

- 嘿，亚当，你在家吗？

- 哦，你好维那莫宁，我在这里。亚当在小屋回应。

- 你在干什么？

Adam and his wife Eva crawled out from the cottage. – We were just preparing

some fruit salad. Would you like to join us for a meal? Adam asked. Eva quickly

set the delicious looking fruit salad and a jug full of refreshing beverage on the

lawn.

亚当和他的妻子夏娃从农舍里爬出来。—我们只是准备一些水果沙拉。你愿意跟

我们一起吃饭吗？亚当问。伊娃快很快将美味的水果沙拉和一壶清凉饮料在草坪

上。

Väinämöinen fancied greatly this young couple, who were spending fortunate

life in paradise. Adam and Eva diligently took care of their little garden site.

They were hard-working but a little simple. Väinämöinen often teased them

mildly.

维那莫宁很羡慕这对年轻的夫妇，他们将在天堂过完幸运的余生。亚当和夏娃努

力照顾自己的小花园。他们很勤奋，很简单。维那莫宁经常温和地取笑他们。

- Tell me Adam, what year is it now? Väinämöinen asked.

It is the sixth day of tenth summer. Tomorrow we are spending holiday

because the lord is relaxing also.

- Yes, of course, Väinämöinen chuckled. Your lord had rough creation

work 10 years ago when the world was created. Has he been here

lately?

- No, last time he was here he only listed some unpleasant instructions

and demands and hasn’t been here since. Actually we build up this

cottage so that He wouldn’t notice us so easily.

- The fruit salad is very delicious, Adam. What did you put in here?

- It’s nice to hear you like it. It has variation of different fruits and berries,

bananas, oranges, dates, figs, strawberries, one piece of lemon and

then… there is this.

- But Adam, isn’t that just the one fruit the lord told you not to eat.

- Sssshhhhh Väiski …. It is, but when Eva cuts it in to the salad, the lord

won’t notice. It is very delicious.

- Well, that is none of my business, Väinämöinen uttered, and it is your

religion, but I’m guessing that nothing good is resulting from that.

- Why would you think that? In fact that fruit has some kind of special

magic. Now that we have been eating it with Eva for a couple of weeks,

we have been starting to feel something unique. We have become a lot

wiser. We have invented new things. I know you can light fire just by

using spells, but we learned that when you rub two dry wooden pieces

together long enough it will create a flame also. And then we have learnt

that Eva has that kind of little thing between her legs and I have this kind

of bigger thing and then we…

- Enough, enough, it is very wonderful that you have figured that out. You

will be discovering more every kind of fun things, but…

- Tell me, Adam. If it is now tenth year ongoing, then how you old do you

think I am?

- Funny thing, old man. You know, I have thought about it a lot. You have

to be younger than me, maybe something like nine, but I have to say,

you look extremely old. At least hundred years old, but that not possible.

I’m sorry, Väiski.

- I don’t mind Adam, I think I will continue my journey now.

- 亚当，告诉我，现在是哪一年？维那莫宁问道。

- 这是第十个夏天的第六天。明天我们放假假期，因为耶和华也在放松。

- 是的，当然。维那莫宁咯咯地笑了。十年前，当世界始创时，你的主做了

粗糙的创造的工作。最近他一直在这里吗?

- 不，上次他来这里只列出了一些令人不快的指令和要求，之后就没有再来

过。实际上我们建立这个小屋，他不会那么容易注意到我们。

- 水果沙拉很好吃，亚当。你在里面放了什么？

- 很高兴听到你喜欢它。各种不同的水果和浆果、香蕉、橙子、枣、无花果、

草莓、一块柠檬，然后……是这样的。

- 但亚当，耶和华不是告诉过你不要吃水果。

- 呃……维那莫宁……这，但当夏娃把它们切成沙拉时，耶和华不会注意到。

它非常美味。

- 好吧，这不关我的事，维那莫宁说道。这是你的宗教。但我猜没有好结果。

- 为什么你认为呢？事实上,水果有某种特殊的魔法。现在我们已经与伊娃

吃几个星期,我们已经开始感受到一些独特的东西。我们变得更聪明。我

们发明了新东西。我知道你可以通过使用法术点火，但我们了解到，当你

摩擦两个干木头碎片足够长的时间后，它也会着火。然后我们已经还知道

伊娃她的两腿之间的小东西，而我的是大家伙，然后我们……

- 够了，够了。你明白这些，这很好。你会发现更多的各种各样的有趣的事

情，但是……

- 告诉我，亚当。如果持续十年，你认为我有多老？

- 有趣，老兄。你知道，我想了很多。你应该比我年轻，但是我必须说,你

看起来非常老了。至少几百岁，但那不可能。抱歉，维那莫宁。

- 亚当，我不介意。我想我要继续我的旅程。

And so Väinämöinen left. As he walked towards east, he watched the beautiful

paradise and thought what a great place it is. Hopefully it remains as it is.

所以维那莫宁离开了。他向东走了。他看着美丽的天堂，觉得是一个很棒的地方。

希望它一直如此。

26. STORY ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ATLANTIS

亚特兰蒂斯毁灭之传说

The traditional enemy of Kalevala was the kingdom named Pohjola. In the very

beginning Pohjola was colonised by giants, of which the greatest were brothers

named Atlas and Ymir. Due to this later in some cultures Pohjola has also been

called with the name Atlantis.

卡勒瓦拉的宿敌是波赫约拉。在最开始时，波赫约拉殖民了巨人，其中最强的兄

弟分别叫叫阿特拉斯和伊米尔。由于这些，在之后的一些文化里波赫约拉也被称

为亚特兰蒂斯。

After the reign of Atlas the giant had come to an end, the kingdom was ruled by

his daughter, Louhi, who was a beautiful and fresh witch. Väinämöinen tried to

enthusiastically woo the lady of Pohjola, even though she already had a harem

consisting of several dozens of husbands and even more lovers. These

husbands and lovers formed the feared armament of Pohjola which conducted

its raids on every land and sea.

在阿特拉斯巨人统治结束后，王国的统治者是他的女儿洛希，一个年轻美丽的女

巫。维那莫宁试图热情地吸引波赫约拉的女王，尽管她已经有几十的丈夫和更多

情人组成的后宫。这些丈夫和情人组成波赫约拉令人生畏的突袭所有陆地和海洋

的武器。

Many suitors and princes arrive in Pohjola,

As long as the lady of Pohjola maintained her appearance young and blooming,

she didn’t pay any attention to the wooing of Väinämöinen although she did

admit his power and manhood. As the time had gone by Louhi got older and

she got appalling in the eyes of Väinämöinen. Instead the beautiful and cheerful

maids of the mansion started to get Väinämöinen’s attention. As a result Louhi

got angry and began to feel hatred towards Väinämöinen.

只要波赫约拉女王保持年轻美丽的外表，她没有任何拉拢维那莫宁的意图，虽然

她承认他的权力和男子气概。随着时间的流逝，洛希已经长大，她在维那莫宁眼

中很吓人。相反美丽欢快的女佣开始得到维那莫宁的注意。结果，洛希生气了,

开始憎恨维那莫宁。

Pohjola was a distant island in the middle of a foggy sea. It was bare and poor

land to begin with. Its treasures were booties along with the beautiful daughters

of Louhi. The maidens were famous of their beauty by the whole world. The

kinds and warlords from everywhere visited to ask their hand in marriage. After

receiving dowry, Louhi has a habit of sending his armament to reclaim the

princess back with violence and offer her hand in marriage once again to the

next prince.

波赫约拉是一个遥远的岛，处在雾蒙蒙的海洋中。刚开始土地是裸露又贫瘠的。

其财富随着洛希美丽的女儿而来。少女的美貌世界闻名。各地的将军去向她们求

婚。在在收到嫁妆后，洛希用武力夺回公主，并把她嫁给下一个王子。

Despite these methods, Pohjola was poor and bare of culture for a long time.

The ambitious dreams of Louhi were to raise her kingdom to a high standard of

living and obtain the greatest wealth in the world. Louhi decided to accomplish

her plan by taking advantage of insatiable desire for women of Väinämöinen

and the hunger for love of men of Kalevala.

尽管这些方法，波赫约拉的文化还是贫瘠了很长一段时间。洛希雄心勃勃的梦想

提高了国家的生活水平，并获得世界上最大的财富。洛希决定来利用维那莫宁对

女性贪得无厌的欲望和卡勒瓦拉男人的饥渴来完成自己的计划。

So once when the wise man Väinämöinen had arrived to the feast of Pohjola as

an uninvited guest, Louhi introduced to Väinämöinen her most beautiful

daughter who was curtained to sheer veils. “Old man Väinämöinen, the

prettiest daughter of mine I will give away to you only if you fulfil my request.”

Väinämöinen was drooling as he stared the girl with lust and promised to

complete any request. “Who do I have to kill?”, he asked. “You don’t have to kill

anyone. Bring you famous blacksmith brother here, crafter of the dome of the

sky Ilmarinen. Ilmarinen will build me Sampo the magic machine.” “And you are

not asking for more?” Asked Väinämöinen. “Of course I will bring my brother

Ilmarinen here and I promise that he will craft you whatever machine it is that

you ask for. He is very talented at things like that.”

所以智者维那莫宁作为一个“不速之客”到波赫约拉的盛宴，洛希就把她最美丽的

女儿用透明面纱遮住，介绍给维那莫宁。“维那莫宁老人，这是我最漂亮的女儿，

只要弄答应我的要求，我将把她赠送你。”维那莫宁一看到女孩就流口水，他满

是情欲地盯着她，承诺答应任何请求。“我要杀了谁。”他问，“你不需要杀死

任何人。把你有名的铁匠的兄弟带来这里。天空之穹易尔马里宁。易尔马里宁会

给我制造出神奇的机器三宝。”“你不再要了吗？”维那莫宁问道，“我当然会

把我的兄弟易尔马里宁带到这里。我保证，你要什么他都会给你制造出来。他在

那方面是一个很有才华的人。”

Instantly Väinämöinen rushed to his boat and began his sale toward Kalevala. It

was that time of the year when the winds were against him, but Väinämöinen

blew in his sails with so much might that the journey was fast even in headwind.

In Kalevala, Väinämöinen searched for his brother, Ilmarinen.

Greetings my brother, my precious growth partner

now we will depart to propose, to choose ourselves wives

You will forge a magic machine, make a lid many-coloured

Gifted we will be with daughters, as a payment ladies well-breasted

维那莫宁立即冲上他的船，开始了航向卡勒瓦拉。正是逆风时节，但维那莫宁用

很大的气吹动他的帆，让旅程更快些。在卡勒瓦拉，维那莫宁找到他的兄弟易尔

马里宁。

问候我的兄弟，我珍贵的成长伙伴

现在我们将要离开，去选择自己的妻子

你会建立一个神奇的机器，有色彩缤纷盖子

我们在女人上很有天分，身材曼妙的女人正在等着买回

Väinämöinen didn’t have the nerves to inform his brother that there was only

one bride offered for marriage. He counted on that there would be more than

enough daughters in Pohjola. There must be someone for Ilmarinen also.

维那莫宁大神经告诉没有告诉他的兄弟，那里只有一个新娘。他指望波赫约拉会

有足够多的女儿。一定也会有易尔马里宁的。

Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen sailed to Pohjola with the winds on their side. The

lady of Pohjola was already greeting them in the harbour.

维那莫宁和易尔马里宁驶往波赫约拉，这次是顺风。波赫约拉女王已经在港口欢

迎他们。

- Blacksmith, forge me Sampo the magic machine. The kind of machine which

grinds golden coins from the first cone, grains from the second and salt from the

third. If you forge me a machine like that, you will get a daughter of mine as your

own.

铁匠，给我打造神奇的机器三宝。这种机器从第一个孔出来的是金币，第二个是

谷物，第三个是盐。如果你打造出我要的机器，你自己会得到我的一个女儿。

“What about the partner promised for me?” Asked Väinämöinen in anger

“You old buck, you can go to there, to the shed and beg for love from the

maids”, answered Louhi, the evil lady of Pohjola.

“你承诺给我的呢？”维那莫宁生气地问。

“老朋友，你可以去那里，小屋那里，乞求得到女佣的爱。”邪恶的波赫约拉女

王洛希回答说。

Miracle machine Sampo grinds salt, grain and gold

And like that gave Louhi her daughter to Ilmarinen. Ilmarinen forged Sampo the

magic machine for Pohjola. Pohjola became a rich kingdom with that Sampo.

Ilmarinen educated the men of Pohjola to become skilled masons, architects

and engineers. He also built a pretentious palace to Pohjola with the help of

these men, as well as planted the forests and gardens and constructed the

pathways and ditched. In the greatest palace of all, there was the magic

machine Sampo carefully guarded. It ground treasures all day all night to the

chests of the lady of Pohjola. The masons and engineers formed a brotherhood

which had secret ceremonies and rituals. Later on this brotherhood was called

the Freemasons.

The destruction of Atlantis

就这样，她把自己的女儿给了易尔马里宁。易尔马里宁给波赫约拉打造出了神奇

的机器。波赫约拉用三宝便成了一个富有的王国。易尔马里宁把波赫约拉人教育

成熟练的石匠、建筑师和工程师。他还在这些人的帮助下，建立了一个自命不凡

的宫殿，还种植森林和花园，构建小路和沟渠。在史上最伟大的宫殿，神奇的机

器三宝被仔细地守护着。它整天整夜给波赫约拉女王带来财富。石匠和工程师组

成了一个举办秘密庆典和宗教仪式兄弟会。后来这个兄弟会被称为共济会。

Afterwards Louhi forced her daughter to leave Ilmarinen and drove her

son-in-law away from Pohjola. Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen were furious for the

betrayal and bitter of losing the magic machine Sampo. The brothers called the

men of Kalevala and Kerimaa together for the military expedition against

Pohjola. This war was such a horrendous battle and destruction that by the end

of it the kingdom was non-existing. Ilmarinen broke the irrigation channels and

water pipes built by him so that the island, which was already called Atlantic,

ended up flooded and sank in to the depths of sea. The men loaded the magic

machine Sampo in to their boat and left for the journey back as pleased fellows.

后来洛希迫使她的女儿离开易尔马里宁，并把女婿易尔马里宁驱逐出波赫约拉。

维那莫宁和易尔马里宁因为背叛和失去神奇的机器很愤怒。兄弟俩召集了卡勒瓦

拉的男人对波赫约拉进行军事远征。这场战争是如此可怕的，如此具有毁灭性的，

年底时王国就不存在了。易尔马里宁打破了灌溉渠道和水管，所以这岛，已经被

称为大西洋，最终淹没了，沉在大海的深处。男人们把魔法机器放到他们的船，

开始愉快返程。

Fighting of Sampo's ownership

The ferocious Louhi enchanted herself to become a big eagle and gathered

what was left of her armament on to her back. Louhi attacked the navy of

Kalevala and attempted to steal the magic machine Sampo back. During this

fierce battle the magic machine Sampo broke and sank in to the bottom of sea.

It still lays in there today. One of its cones is still working and continuously

grinding salt in to the water. That is the reason for the seas being so salty.

凶猛的洛希让自己变成一个大鹰，收集她留下她的武器。洛希攻击了卡勒瓦拉的

海军并试图窃取魔法机器。在这激烈的战斗魔法机器摔了，沉没在大海的底部。

今天它仍然躺在那里。其中一个仍然工作，不断出盐，溶到里水。这是海洋为什

么很咸的原因。

27. THE BIRTH OF THE FREEMASONS 共济会的诞生

After the destruction of the Atlantis the professional construction men trained

by Ilmarinen scattered all over the continent, which was later referred as

Europe. Guild of the constructors grew a mysterious organization of the

Freemasons. The Freemasons build up big palaces and temples made out of

giant boulders. This time is nowadays called Megalith Age. The oldest

buildings and mighty lithospheres can be found in Britain, Ireland, France,

Malta, Turkish and India. The masons trained by Ilmarinen were also building

the pyramids in Egypt and temples in Middle and South America. The first

emperor of China, I Qin Shi Huangdi (秦始皇帝), hired the masons of the

Atlantis to supervise the construction work of the Great Wall of China.

亚特兰蒂斯毁灭后，被易尔马里宁训练过的专业施工人员分散在大陆上，后来被

称为欧洲的大陆。公会的成长成了共济会的一个神秘组织。共济会会员用庞大的

巨石建造了大宫殿和寺庙。这个时代现在被称为巨石时代。最古老的建筑和强大

的岩石圈可以在英国、爱尔兰、法国、马耳他、土耳其以及印度发现。由易尔马

里宁训练的石匠也建造埃及的金字塔和中美洲、南美洲的庙宇。中国的第一个皇

帝，秦始皇，曾聘请了亚特兰蒂斯的石匠监督中国长城的建筑工作。

28. AHMAD IBN FADLAN’S EXEDITIN TO RUSSIA AND KERIMAA

阿哈迈德·伊本·法德兰在俄罗斯和柯日马的探险

A famous Arab explorer Ahmad Ibn Fadlan conducted an expedition according

to the demands of Caliph Al Muqtadir to far north in the lands of Ruses and

Vends. Information of this journey was close to being disappeared for good, but

parts of the travelogue of Ahmed Fadlan were found in 1923 from the city of

Meshid in Iran. The travelogue was a sensation, since it included contemporary

information of time of the eastern Vikings and the ancient history of Russia. An

entertainment Hollywood movie “The 13th Warrior” (1999) was also made of the

expedition, where Antonio Banderas plays the leading role.

阿拉伯著名的探险家阿哈迈德·伊本·法德兰按照哈里发的要求向北地区的鲁斯

和温斯进行了一次探险。这段旅程的信息接近消失，但阿哈迈德·伊本·法德兰

的部分游记于 1923 年在伊朗莫施德城被发现。游记很轰动，因为它包括当时东

部维京人的信息和古代俄罗斯的历史。好莱坞电影《终极奇兵》 (1999)也是关

于探险的，由安东尼奥·班德拉斯主演。

Pekka Nurminen, who investigates Kerimaa, found a ripped scroll during his trip

to an ancient city of Barn in Iran, which later on turned out to be a conclusion of

Ahmad Ibn Fadlan’s travelogue. From the travelogue it becomes clear that the

caliph Muqtadir had set the most important goal of the expedition to find the

mysterious kingdom of Kerimaa-Kalevala and to meet its famous king

Väinämöinen, if he still was alive and well. Old Persian lore tells that prophet

Zarathustra (Zoroaster) travelled amongst people and taught them good

things. It is told that he would have met wise man Väinämöinen during his

travels. The caliph wanted to know whether this meeting actually happened.

佩卡·耐莫宁，调查过柯日马。在他去伊朗古城巴恩的路途山发现了一个裂开的

滚轴，这后来被证明是阿哈迈德·伊本·法德兰的游记。从游记中可以明显了解

哈里发设定最重要探险目标是的找到神秘王国柯日马-卡勒瓦拉，并见到著名的

国王维那莫宁，如果他仍然还好好的活着的话。古波斯传说讲，先知查拉图斯特

拉(琐罗亚斯德)在人间旅行并教人们好的东西。据说他自己在旅行期间会遇到智

者维那莫宁。哈里发想知道这个会面是否真的发生了。

Ibn Fadlan tells:伊本·法德兰说：

When I was still with Ruses at the river of Volga I asked about the land of

Fenni's, which was called Kerimaa from the oldest of the tribe. I also asked

about the wise man Väinämöinen. They had so many stories and tales in their

memory that they shared them with me at the camp fire until the next morning.

They told me that Kerimaa is thousands of versts (an old Russian unit of

distance, about 1060 meters) away, but the journey will be worth all the troubles

and effort. The chieftain told that the king Väinämöinen is indeed still alive, but

was at the time very old, at least thousand or hundred thousand years old. No

one knew the age of Väinämöinen, but it has been told that Väinämöinen was

present in the very beginning and participated in the Creation.

当我还在伏尔加河，与鲁斯人在一起的时候，我问到芬妮这个被称为柯日马最古

老的部落。我也问到智者维那莫宁。他们的脑海里有很多关于他们故事和神话，

他们在篝火边上与我分享，直到第二天早上。他们告诉我，柯日马有成千上万的

俄里远(老俄罗斯计量，约 1060 米), 但旅程所有的麻烦和努力都值得。酋长说

维那莫宁确实还活着，但当时已经很老了，至少几千或几万岁。没有人知道维那

莫宁的时代，但总能听说，维那莫宁一开始就存在并参与了创世。

The villagers told strange stories of Väinämöinen and about his amazing

journeys in distant lands. One of the most interesting ones was that at the dark

time of the year, Väinämöinen had an tendency to go to the outer boundary of

north and light up some bright dancing lights in the dark. This story fascinated

me greatly since the extraordinary light effect was sometimes seen even in the

northern horizon of Baghdad. Latin’s called this phenomenon by the name

Aurora Borealis.

村民讲了维那莫宁奇怪的故事和他在远方的神奇旅程。其中最有趣的是，在黑暗

的时候，维那莫宁想去北边边界，在黑暗中明亮点亮一些舞灯。这个故事使我对

大自非凡的光效应非常着迷，即使看到巴格达北部的地平线。拉丁文叫这种现象

叫北极光。

I told the chieftain that I had an order given by the caliph to visit Kerimaa. The

chieftain offered me 12 warriors as guides and rowers. We travelled along the

river by a narrow boat towards north. Time to time the boat had to be carried

over any obstacles. Finally we rowed over a big sea and after a couple of days

we arrived to the land of thousands lakes. We met the king Väinämöinen in a

humble cottage in small village. Väinämöinen was old indeed. He told me that

his time was coming to an end because people had abandoned their old

religions and turned to Christian or Islamic. I asked him, according to the

demand of the caliph Al Muqtadir, is it true that he had met the prophet

Zarathustra almost 2000 years ago.

我告诉酋长，我有一个哈里发访问柯日马的命令。酋长给了我 12 勇士作为向导

和皮划艇。我们狭窄的船沿着河向北。船不时地会有障碍。最后我们划船到了大

海洋，几天之后我们到达有成千上万的湖泊的地方。我们在小村庄的一个简陋的

小屋见到了国王维那莫宁。维那莫宁确实老了。他告诉我,他的时间即将结束，

因为人们已经放弃了原来的宗教，转向基督教或伊斯兰教。我问他,据迪尔哈里

发的要求求，他在近 2000 年前会见了查拉图斯特拉先知是真的吗。

Väinämöinen got excited in recalling his memories. He had met the prophet

Zarathustra when he had been returning from his trip to the kingdom of China.

At the time there were many kings in China who fought with each other.

Väinämöinen had discussed with Zarathustra for many days.

维那莫宁很兴奋在回忆他的记忆。当他从中国返回时，遇到了查拉图斯特拉他先

知。当时中国有许多君王。维那莫宁和查拉图斯特拉讨论了许多天。

Väinämöinen had also noticed the good behaviour and honesty of Zarathustra.

Zarathustra seemed wise also because he wrote his own bizarre ideas down

for the future generations.

维那莫宁也注意到查拉图斯特拉品行良好很诚实。查拉图斯特拉看起来也很明

智，因为未来几代人他写下自己奇怪的想法。

“You will become a significant man”, had Väinämöinen said to Zarathustra

when they finally separated.

“你将成为一个伟人，”当他们最终分开时，维那莫宁对查拉图斯特拉说。

I was so content after confirming the authenticity of the lore. Before leaving

back to home, I was fishing with Väinämöinen at several lakes and we got quite

a catch. The most delicious one was the red-fleshed fish which was cooked on

a wide board with the camp fire by Väinämöinen. We also hunted some wild

animals. Väinämöinen knew how to orthodoxly butcher elks, reindeers and

other prey. We didn't eat nor hunt boar.

我很确信传说的真实性。在回家之前，我和维那莫宁在几个湖里钓鱼，非常赶。

最好吃的是红色肉的鱼，它在篝火上一个宽板上做的。我们也猎杀一些野生动物。

维那莫宁知道如何正确地屠宰麋鹿、驯鹿和其他猎物。我们没有吃也没有狩猎野

猪。

The time I spent in Kerimaa, was the happiest period of time in my whole life. I

wish to return there sometime in future.

我在柯日马的时候，是我一生中最快乐的时光。我希望将来可以回到那里。

This was the end of Ahmad Ibn Fadlan’s travelogue. Despite his wishes, he

never got to return to Kerimaa.

这是哈迈德·伊本·法德兰游记的结尾。尽管是他的愿望，他从来没有回到柯日

马。

29. THE DAWN OF TIME

Sometimes in those times that we nowadays refer to as the dawn of time, an

innocent maid Marjatta strolled on the lands of Kalevala. Marjatta was beautiful

and virtuous, the joy of her father, mother and brothers. Maid Marjatta’s

favourite recreation was berry and mushroom picking. She knew all the forests,

flatlands and mountains from Kerimaa to all the way to the Altai.

Once happened so, that during her autumn berry picking trip, Marjatta became

pregnant. Her father, mother and brothers got angry at her pregnancy and the

birth of her baby boy. Maid Marjatta was strictly interrogated and she was

pressed for an answer about the father’s identity. Marjatta was confused about

the situation and so terrified that she insisted that there was no father.

Lemminkäinen was the first one to be doubted as he was known charmer and

seducer of women, but Lemminkäinen strictly denied any involvement in the

birth of the child.

The Väinämöinen himself was called to decide the faith of Marjatta and her

child. Väinämöinen examined the child and trembled in shock. Without any

further interrogations, Väinämöinen ordered the child to be drowned in a

swamp. The people were frightened about the especially harsh sentence, but

the commissioners started to prepare the execution of the sentence.

At that time the newborn begun to speak with a clear child’s voice. The child

accused Väinämöinen about his own bad works, bloody raids, robberies and

thefts, oppressing and mocking of the weak, lewdness and harassment of

young women.

Kalevala poem 50 (a part):

Wainamoinen, old and faithful,

Carefully the child examined,

Gave this answer to his people:

"Since the child is but an outcast,

Born and cradled in a manger,

Since the berry is his father;

Let him lie upon the heather,

Let him sleep among the rushes,

Let him live upon the mountains;

Take the young child to the marshes,

Dash his head against the birch-tree."

Then the child of Mariatta,

Only two weeks old, made answer:

"O, thou ancient Wainamoinen,

Son of Folly and Injustice,

Senseless hero of the Northland,

Falsely hast thou rendered judgment.

In thy years, for greater follies,

Greater sins and misdemeanors,

Thou wert not unjustly punished.

In thy former years of trouble,

30. THE LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS

A great number of folk tales about the Creation exists. Some ancient epic songs

have been included in the Kalevala epic. According to Kalevala, the wiseman

Väinämöinen also took part in the creation of the world. Väinämöinen was a

sagacious magician and lord, who ruled the indigenous peoples for

thousands of years.

关于创世的民间故事有很多。一些古代史诗已经包含了史诗《卡勒瓦拉》。根据

《卡勒瓦拉》，智者维那莫宁也参与了世界的创造。维那莫宁是个睿智的魔术师

和领主，统治着原住民几千年。

But when Christianity started spreading throughout the world and reached

even the remote Northern areas, the wiseman Väinämöinen concluded that his

time had ended and withdrew from ruling the world. But he gave a promise to

return and help people should they need his assistance.

但当基督教开始在全世界蔓延，甚至是到了遥远的北部地区，智者维那莫宁得出

结论：他的时间已经结束并不再统治世界。但他给承诺会给需要帮助的人们回报

和帮助。

(Kalevala, poem 50. See)

（《卡勒瓦拉》，诗 50. 看见）

It so fell out that in the course of time the world became full with perils and ills.

Troubles and wars, poverty and hunger, unhappy families and orphan children

were everywhere. In the gloomy and dark Middle Ages small children were

forced to work in coal mines, at factories and even as the cleaners of hot

furnaces.

就这样，经过一段时间，世界变得充满危险和疾病。争端和战争，贫穷和饥饿，

不幸的家庭和孤儿无处不在。在悲观和黑暗的中世纪，小孩子被迫在煤矿工作，

在工厂上班，甚至是热熔炉的清洁工。

Then old Väinämöinen saw that he has to help people once more. At that time

Väinämöinen lived in the faraway Lapland, on the Korvatunturi bald mountain.

From its top he could see great desolation prevailing in the world. So,

Väinämöinen put on a red coat, put in harness his reindeer and went out to

distribute gifts among all children of the world. Since then, he carried out this

voyage every Christmas and therefore was called Father Christmas, or Santa

Claus.

然后老人维那莫宁看到了，他再次来帮助人们。当时维那莫宁住在遥远的拉普兰，

耳朵山。从山顶他可以看到世界都是荒凉。维那莫宁穿上红色的外套，在所有孩

子的世界用他的驯鹿去分发礼物。从那时起，他每个圣诞节都进行这旅途，因此

被称为圣诞老爸或者圣诞老人。

31. Santa Claus Hires Helpers 圣诞老人雇人帮忙

When Väinämöinen started his new career as the Santa Claus he had to solve many

types of problems. Even though he was a wizard and a wise man, the Santa Claus's field

was so vast that in the beginning he could not get everything done as he wanted. For he

had to deliver presents to all the children in the world. The first century went by

practicing. There were a lot issues. The variety of gifts was narrow and he could not

make it to all the countries and to every family in time. 当维那莫宁开始他的圣诞老

人事业时，他解决了很多种问题。圣诞老人的领域太大了， 尽管他是巫师是智

者，也不能使所有事情像预期那样完成。因为他要像全世界的儿童派送礼物。第

一个世纪在摸索中进行。有许多问题存在。礼物太多了，他不能及时送到所有国

家和所有家庭。

Soon enough, Santa understood that he needs helpers and he needs a lot of them. But

where to find reliable helpers? Santa interviewed and hired for probation a few people

who were known to be reputable. After a few painful training weeks it became obvious

that humans would not fit as helpers. Humans were too big, lazy, slow and clumsy. In

addition, humans started to demand raises, evening and night increases, doubles for

Christmas day, per diem allowances, kilometer allowances, vacation allowances and all

sorts of other conditions. The Santa's traditional sledge would not do for the humans

and they demanded a more streamlined, turbocharged and handsomely decorated

vehicle. 不久，圣诞老人知道了他需要助手，很多助手。但是去哪里找靠得住的

助手呢？圣诞老人面试并雇佣了几个口碑比较好的人试用。经过几周残酷的训练

发现人类并不适合当助手。人类太大，太懒，太慢并且太笨拙。此外，人类开始

要求加薪，晚班涨薪，圣诞双薪，出差津贴，日程津贴，假期津贴以及各种各样

的其他条件。圣诞老人的传统雪橇不适合人类，人类要求一个更流线型的，涡轮

增压的，装饰漂亮的交通工具。

Santa Claus gave up recruiting humans. He turned to familiar forest animals. The

animals were excited about the offered task and were not as importunate as humans.

Soon enough, other issues arose with the animals. Not one animal was able to work in

Santa Claus's gift factory nor produce even the simples toy. Most of the animals were

too weak to lift or carry gifts. Other animals would not like to travel to distant lands. In

the end, Santa Claus accepted only th reindeer as his helper. Santa had to rule out all the

other animals. 圣诞老人不再雇佣人类了。他开始找熟悉的森林中的动物。动物们

对任务很兴奋，也不像人类那么纠缠。不久，动物们也有其他的问题了。并不是

所有的动物都能在圣诞老人的工厂工作，也不能制作一个简单的玩具。大部分动

物太弱了，不能提不能抗礼物。其他动物不喜欢去太远的地方。最后，圣诞老人

只选择了麋鹿作为他的助手。圣诞老人不得不把其他动物给划掉。

What now? Where could he get more helpers? Santa remembered that before the

humans arrived, many creatures resembling humans lived in the forests and mountains

of Kalevala. In the good old times, over and under the earth, goblins, giants, dwarfs,

elves, gnomes, trolls, devils and other miraculous beings. Santa Claus started to look

for those beings. Giants, gnomes, snow men, trolls, goblins and many others had gone

extinct as humans had expanded to nearly everywhere.It was not so trivial anymore.

Santa Claus remembered, that in his youth, keris, also known as dwarfs, lived in the

Kalevala-Kerimaa area. Santa Claus returned to his old home, Kerimaa, and found the

last keri communities from Kerimaa's forests and Lake Paasvesi's coasts. Santa arrived

with his work proposals at a great time. Unemployment among the dwarfs was a huge

issues. Some of the dwarfs had gotten jobs at vagabond circuses, but there they had to

deal with bad treatment and constant mocking. The dwarfs got excited about Santa's

proposal. They managed the Santa's training easily. Though many of the dwarfs got too

excited and caused all sorts of mishaps. Santa named his new helpers as gnomes.

现在呢？他从哪里找到更多的助手？圣诞老人记得在人类出现之前，在卡勒瓦拉

森林里和山上住着许多像人的生物。在相当远久的时候，地上或者地下有着妖精，

巨人，矮人，精灵，侏儒，巨魔，魔鬼和其他神奇的东西。现在这些都不再常见

了。巨人，侏儒，雪人，巨魔还有许多其他动物都已经灭绝了，因为人类扩张到

了各个地方。圣诞老人记得在他年轻的时候，科瑞也就是矮人居住在卡勒瓦拉-

柯日马区域。圣诞老人回到了他老家，柯日马，从柯日马森林和帕西维西湖沿岸

发现了最后一个科瑞团体。圣诞老人带着他的工作邀请到了那里。失业是矮人的

重大问题。一些矮人在声名狼藉的马戏团工作，但他们的待遇很差，并且一直被

嘲笑。矮人们对圣诞老人的邀请很兴奋。他们很容易地就掌握了圣诞老人的培训。

尽管有太多矮人因为兴奋过度而引发了各种小问题。圣诞老人把他的新助手们称

之为侏儒。

So the dwarfs became gnomes and Santa's helpers. Most of them wanted to work in

Santa's toy and clothes factories, but some of the gnomes trained as secret spies. The

spy gnomes' mission was to observe children all around the world. The gnomes

composed reports for Santa about nice and naughty children. With a certain factor this

decided how many presents they got in Christmas.

所以矮人们就变成了侏儒，圣诞老人的助手。他们中许多想在圣诞老人的玩具和

衣服工厂里工作，但也有一些侏儒被训练成间谍。间谍侏儒的工作是观察世界上

的孩子们。侏儒们会向圣诞老人报告好孩子和淘孩子。按照这个因素来决定他们

在圣诞节收到多少礼物。
