Santa Claus from Greenland(圣诞老人生活的格陵兰“绿地”岛)


发表时间:+-

2023-08-22 National Folklore Day

【2 of 2 Greenland Natl Anthems: The Land of Great Length (1979)】

            There is a lovely country

            it stands with broad beech-trees,

            near the salty eastern shore 

            It bends itself in hill, valley,

            its name is old Denmark

            and it is Freya's hall. 

            ……

            Our ancient Denmark shall remain,

            As long as beech tops mirror

            In waves of blue their chain! 

—— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? ——

【绿地岛国歌第二首:《有一处好地方》(1916)】

                有一处好地方

                茂密的山毛榉林丛生,

                靠近咸滋滋的东部海岸,

                高低起伏的山峦,

                它是古老的丹麦

                贵妇殿堂。

                ……

                古老的丹麦必将永存,

                如同蓝色波涛映照出

                高高的山毛榉林树冠。

【注】我很早就认识绿地岛,因为圣诞老人来自那里!只是我们的首次出游并非冲着这位飘然若仙的白叟,假如今生有幸故地重游,想必会直捣北极圈心形镇(Uummannaq)去拜访他的神奇夏宫。

绿地岛是丹麦王国三个自治国家之一,其政体设有自治议会和自治政府,财政税收、地下资源、文化教育和社会福利等事务均由自治政府负责;军事防务、国际外交、刑事司法(包括警察)和本国货币等由丹麦政府掌管;总督由丹麦君主任命,在丹麦议会中只占2个席位,拥有自己的两首国歌、旗帜甚至邮票。

像其他渴望独立的民族一样,绿地岛也想以此来谋求更大权力,毕竟1)一个地处欧洲,另一个位于北美洲,在地理上与丹麦本土相去甚远;2)原住民(Inuit)逐步形成了绿地岛民族,大约占全岛总人口的80%左右,在文化上和丹麦传统迥然有异;3)绿地岛幅员辽阔,自然资源丰富,在经济上比丹麦内地更有开发价值。但现实中,虽然绿地岛的面积是丹麦本土的50倍,但前者的人口却是后者的1/75,少数族裔自然势单力薄;何况丹麦大陆物质水平极高,是远在天边的海外疆域任何情怀抱负都无法企及的天花板,财大气粗者绝对掌握话语权。都说经济基础决定上层建筑,独立的大厦如果缺乏殷实的支柱,那么只能算作空中楼阁。
