Abstract

Abstract This article argues that Caesar puns on the cognomen of Pompey the Great through his use of the adjective magnus at least twice in his Bellum Civile . In each instance, the wordplay contributes to (1) evoking the memory of Pompey's past triumphs and (2) exploring the gulf between past reputation and present reality. By focussing on this particular wordplay, the article contributes to a wider discussion of Caesarean language and wit as well as to studies of Caesar's art of characterization.

伟大的期望:文字游戏在凯撒的bellvm平民战争

摘要本文认为，恺撒在《公民战争》中至少两次使用形容词magnus，从而对庞培大帝的名语进行了双关语处理。在每一个例子中，这种文字游戏都有助于:(1)唤起人们对庞培过去胜利的记忆;(2)探索过去名声和现在现实之间的鸿沟。通过关注这一特殊的文字游戏，本文有助于更广泛地讨论凯撒的语言和机智，以及研究凯撒的人物塑造艺术。
