  在西方国家,pied piper(花衣魔笛手)是一个常用的政治宣传标语,这个标语的政治喻意是什么呢?让我们从下面这个古老的民间传说找寻答案吧。


  传说,在德国普鲁士的哈梅林(Hamelin)曾发生鼠疫,死伤极多,居民们束手无策。后来,来了一位法力高强的魔笛手,身穿红黄相间的及地长袍,自称他能铲除老鼠。镇子里的首脑们答应给他丰厚的财宝作为答谢,魔笛手便吹起神奇的笛子,结果全村的老鼠都在笛声的指引下跑到了河里,全部被铲除。但是那些见利忘义的首脑们却没有兑现承诺,拒绝付给他酬劳。为了进行报复,花衣魔笛手就又吹起神奇的笛子,全村的小孩都跟着他走了,从此便无影无踪。


  后来,一提起pied piper,人们脑海里就会浮现出数百只没有头脑、愚笨无知的老鼠跟在魔笛手后面,走向死亡。


  现在,你们能猜到pied piper的政治含义了吧,它通常用来指代那些善开空头支票的领导者。它用幽默而有力的方法暗示如果你盲目地跟随、支持这样的政治人物,就会和传说中的老鼠一样,结果只是自寻死路。
