最近在 William C. Carter Marcel Proust 傳記裡,學到了一個單字 ” Anagram”,碰巧遇到格友玉兒的改名換姓,也就引發了我一些想像及推測。

Marcel Proust
和他的一些朋友對於 ” Anagram” 這個文字遊戲都是樂此不疲,他的名字一下子變成 Lecram,一下子又變成 Stroup,而這些遊戲另外還延伸到了 “code word for homosexual”。

What is Anagram ?
依據眼睛博士 (Dr. eye) 給我的翻譯如下:
1. 回文構詞法(如將now變移位置而構成won)
2. 換音造詞法(eat變為tea)


至於維基網友提供的資訊可就更精采了

Anagrams 的歷史源起於摩西時期,開始盛行於中世紀的歐洲…...
Anagrams can be traced back to the time of Moses, as "Themuru" or changing, which was to find the hidden and mystical meaning in names. They were popular throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, for example with the poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut, They are said to go back at least to the Greek poet Lycophron, in the third century BCE; but this relies on an account of Lycophron given by John Tzetzes in the 12th century.

Anagrams
跟假名或筆名可是密不可分,Jim Morrison 就是一個例子
Anagrams are connected to pseudonyms, by the fact that they may conceal or reveal, or operate somewhere in between like a mask that can establish identity. For example, Jim Morrison used an anagram of his name in the Doors song L.A. Woman, calling himself "Mr. Mojo Risin ".

至於 source of titles 一些舉例可以說是讓我們增廣見聞,像是Hamlet
Shakespeares Hamlet is an anagram for the Danish Prince Amleth.
又或者是 "Talking Heads" 臉部特寫合唱團專輯名稱的由來,真的是讓人恍然大悟:
Brian Enos album Before and After Science includes a song entitled "Kings Lead Hat", an anagram of "Talking Heads", a band Eno has worked with.

OS
"Talking Heads" 是誰啊!我只聽過 “Radiohead” !
那就點播一首 ”The Lady Dont Mind” 送
給改名換姓的格弟菲吧!
