咦,我讲得没错呀,chalice 一直是一种现实生活中有的杯子,而grail 是传说中的东西,可能是杯子可能是盘子,grail 偶尔跟chalice 混用,电影里表现成杯子当然合理
至于电影里杯子有毒,那是情节需要。在原始出处《麦克白》里头,人不是真的被杯子/酒毒死的,人是捅死的,但poisoned chalice仍然说的是酒:
MACBETH
If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly. If the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We’d jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here, that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague th' inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice
To our own lips. He’s here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself.
朱生豪译:
麦克白
要是干了以后就完了,那么还是快一点干;要是凭着暗杀的手段,可以攫取美满的结果,又可以排除了一切后患;要是这一刀砍下去,就可以完成一切、终结一切、解决一切——在这人世上,仅仅在这人世上,在时间这大海的浅滩上;那么来生我也就顾不到了。可是在这种事情上,我们往往逃不过现世的裁判;我们树立下血的榜样,教会别人杀人,结果反而自己被人所杀;把毒药投入酒杯里的人,结果也会自己饮鸠而死,这就是一丝不爽的报应。他到这儿来本有两重的信任:第一,我是他的亲戚,又是他的臣子,按照名分绝对不能干这样的事;第二,我是他的主人,应当保障他身体的安全,怎么可以自己持刀行刺?
