【ACT I 第一幕】
1、On some apparent danger seen in the Duke ... 他的确是发现了公爵的阴谋
2、And mark my greeting well; for what I speak ... 你要仔细听,我将要说的话
3、Too good to be so and too bad to live, Since the more fair and crystal is the sky, The uglier seem the clouds that in it fly. 辜负国恩,死有余辜;天色越是晴朗空明,越显得浮云的混浊。
4、Mowbray, impartial are our eyes and ears. (Were he my brother, nay, my kingdom's heir, as he is but my father's brother's son -BBC删) He is our subject, Mowbray; so art thou: Free speech and fearless I to thee allow.
毛勃雷,我的眼睛和耳朵是公正不偏的;(他不过是我的叔父的儿子,即使他是我的同胞兄弟,或者是我的王国的继承者,凭着我的御杖的威严起誓,这一种神圣的血统上的关连,也不能给他任何的特权,或者使我不可摇撼的正直的心灵对他略存偏袒。)他是我的臣民,毛勃雷,你也是臣民;我允许你自由发言,不必顾忌。
5、Wrath-kindled gentlemen, be ruled by me; Let's purge this choler without letting blood: This we prescribe, though no physician; Deep malice makes too deep incision; Forget, forgive; conclude and be agreed; Our doctors say this is no month to bleed. 两位怒火中烧的骑士,听从我的旨意;让我们用不流血的方式,消除彼此的愤怒。我非医生,但这是我的处方:仇恨太深,会造成伤痕。忘怀、宽恕、和平的解决,医生说这个月不应该流血。
6、-R II: ... lions make leopards tame. 雄狮也可以令豹子慑服。
-M: Yea, but not change his spots: My dear dear lord, The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation: Mine honour is my life; both grow in one: Take honour from me, and my life is done. 是的,但不能让他改变身上的斑纹。人生最珍粹的宝藏,我最亲爱的陛下,便是无瑕的名誉。名誉是我的生命,二者结为一体;夺去名誉,生命也就不复存在。【哲理】
7、At Coventry, upon Saint Lambert's Day: There shall your swords and lances arbitrate The swelling difference of your settled hate. 圣兰勃特日在考文垂,用你们的短剑和长枪,来决断深仇和宿怨。
8、In God's name and the king's, say who thou art And why thou comest thus knightly clad in arms. 以上帝和国王的名义,报上名来,为什么全副武装来到此地?
9、-R: Cousin of Hereford, as thy cause is right, So be thy fortune in this royal fight! 海瑞福德贤弟,你动机正直,愿你在这场御前决斗中胜利!
-H: O let no noble eye profane a tear For me, if I be gored with Mowbray's spear. 如果我被毛勃雷所伤,不要让您高贵的眼睛浪费一滴泪。
10、O, who can hold a fire in his hand By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite By bare imagination of a feast?
Or wallow naked in December snow By thinking on fantastic summer's heat? O, no! the apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
谁能靠怀想高加索山的积雪寒冰,来抵挡手握炙火的煎熬?谁又能仅凭脑中盛宴的幻想,而忘记饥肠辘辘呢?
谁又能靠回忆盛夏酷热,就能赤身在隆冬雪地中打滚呢?不,念念不忘的美好事物,只会让残酷的现状更加难以承受。【哲理】
11、Pray God we may make haste and come too late! 祈祷上帝,愿我们再快马加鞭,仍能晚到一步。
【ACT II 第二幕】
1、-YORK: Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; For all in vain comes counsel to his ear. 无需烦恼,也不要浪费你的气力,因为一切劝告於他皆为耳边轻风。
-GAUNT: O, but they say the tongues of dying men Enforce attention like deep harmony: Where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain, For they breathe truth that breathe their words in pain.
Though Richard my life's counsel would not hear, My death's sad tale may yet undeaf his ear.
唉,但人常说人之将死,其言万金,如庄严的乐声迫人倾听。言辞稀少,则更容易被听进去,苦痛中说出的话,其中必含至理。
纵使我生时忠言逆耳,理查不愿理会;但我的临终哀鸣应能振聋发聩。
2、Thou diest, though I the sicker be. 虽然我比你病重,你才是将死的人。
3、-R: Now, by my seat's right royal majesty, Wert thou not fathers's father's son. This tongue that runs so roundly in thy head Should run thy head from thy unreverent shoulders. 凭着我的王座的尊严起誓,倘不是因为你是我父亲的同胞,你这条不知忌惮的舌头将要使你的头颅从你那目无君上的肩头落下。
-GAUNT: Live in thy shame! but die not shame with thee. 在耻辱中活着吧,但耻辱不会和你一同消亡!
4、-YORK: Though death be poor, it ends a mortal woe. 死虽然是苦事,却可以结束人生的惨痛。
-R: The ripest fruit first falls, and so doth he; His time is spent, our pilgrimage must be.
So much for that. Now,
We must supplant those rough rug-headed kerns, Which live like venom where no venom else But only they have privilege to live.
最成熟的果子最先落地,他正是这样;他的寿命已尽,我们在尘世的旅程还得走下去。
别的话不必多说了。现在,
让我们讨论讨论爱尔兰的战事。我们必须扫荡那些粗暴蓬发的爱尔兰步兵,他们像毒蛇猛兽一般,所到之处,除了他们自己以外,谁也没有生存的权利。
5、Shall tender duty make me suffer wrong? 我要因愚忠容忍不义的乱行?
6、In war was never lion raged more fierce, In peace was never gentle lamb more mild, Than was that young and princely gentleman. 在战场上他比雄狮还凶猛,在和平的时候他比羔羊还温柔。那位青年王子是那般模样。
7、-WILLOUGHBY: Barely in title, not in revenue. 威罗比:他所承袭的不过是一个空洞的名号,毫无实际的收益。
-NORTHUMBERLAND: Richly in both, if justice had her right. 诺森伯兰:要是世上还有公道,他应该名利兼收。
8、The commons hath he pill'd with grievous taxes, And quite lost their hearts; the nobles hath he fined For ancient quarrels, and quite lost their hearts. 平民们因为他苛征暴敛,已经全然对他失去好感;贵族们因为他睚眦必报,也已经全然对他失去好感。
9、-NORTHUMBERLAND: If then we shall shake off our slavish yoke, Imp out our drooping country's broken wing, Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, And make high majesty look like itself, Away with me in post to meet him there. ...要是我们决心摆脱奴隶的桎梏,用新的羽毛补葺我们祖国残破的肢翼,把受污的王冠从当铺里赎出,拭去那遮掩我们御杖上的金光的尘埃,使庄严的王座恢复它旧日的光荣,那么赶快跟我到雷文斯泊去吧;……
-ROSS: To horse, to horse! urge doubts to them that fear. 上马!上马!叫那些胆小怕事的人去反复考虑吧。
10、And that's the wavering commons: for their love Lies in their purses, and whoso empties them By so much fills their hearts with deadly hate. 就是这帮善变的群众:他们的爱,都在钱袋里,谁倒空了他们的钱袋,就把恶毒的仇恨注进了他们的胸膛。【哲理】
11、-GREEN: Alas, poor duke! the task he undertakes Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry: Where one on his side fights, thousands will fly. 格林:唉,可怜的公爵!他所担负的工作,简直是数沙饮海;一个人为他作战,就有一千人转身逃走。(BBC改巴各特)再会吧,我们从此永别了。
-BAGOT: Farewell at once, for once, for all, and ever.
12、And yet your fair discourse hath been as sugar, 幸亏一路上饱聆您的清言妙语【诺森伯兰马屁精】
13、You Show me thy humble heart, and not thy knee, Whose duty is deceiveable and false. ... Tut, tut! You Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle: ... Why, foolish boy, the king is left behind, And in my loyal bosom lies his power. 让我看看你的谦卑的心;不必向我屈膝,那是欺人而虚伪的。……咄!咄!不要向我说什么仁慈,更不要叫我什么叔父;……哼,傻孩子!王上并没有离开他的国土,他的权力都已经交托给了我。
14、What would you have me do? I am a subject, And I challenge law: attorneys are denied me; And therefore, personally I lay my claim To my inheritance of free descent. 您说我应该怎么办?我是一个国家的臣子,要求法律的救援;可是没有一个律师替我仗义执言,所以我不得不亲自提出,我的世袭继承权的要求。
15、Base men by his endowments are made great. 卑贱的小人因为窃据他的财产而暴富。
16、Nor friends nor foes, to me welcome you are. Things past redress are now with me past care. 既非朋友又非敌人,我欢迎你们。无可挽救的事,我只好置之度外了。
17、The bay-trees in our country are all wither'd And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven; The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change;
Rich men look sad and ruffians dance and leap, The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, The other to enjoy by rage and war: These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.
我们国里的月桂树已经一起枯萎;流星震撼着天空的星座;脸色苍白的月亮用一片血光照射大地;形容瘦瘠的预言家们交头接耳地传述着惊人的变化;
富人们愁眉苦脸,无赖们鼓舞雀跃,有人害怕失去他们所享有的一切;有人享受到战争和劫掠的利益:这种种都是国王们死亡没落的预兆。【哲理】
18、Thy friends are fled to wait upon thy foes, 你的朋友都投奔你的敌人去了。
19、You have in manner with your sinful hours, Made a divorce betwixt his queen and him, Broke the possession of a royal bed, And stained the beauty of a fair queen's cheeks, With tears drawn from her eyes by your foul wrongs.你们所过的糜烂生活,隔绝了他的王后和他的恩爱,破坏皇室的床笫之欢,使王后美丽的面颊,因受你们的委屈被泪水玷污。【这么直白真的好咩,译本版:你们引诱他昼夜嬉游,流连忘返,隔绝了他的王后和他两人之间的恩爱,使一个美貌的王后孤眠独宿,因为你们的罪恶而终日以泪洗面。】
【ACT III 第三幕】
1、That power that made you king, Hath power to keep you king in spite of all. 那使您成为国王的神明的力量,将会替您扫除一切障碍,维持您的王位。
2、Not all the water in the rough rude sea Can wash the balm off from an anointed king; 汹涌的怒海中所有的水,都洗不掉涂在一个受命于天的君王顶上的圣油;
3、Nor near nor farther off, my gracious lord, Than this weak arm. 说近不近,说远不远,陛下,除却这双赤手我已别无其他。
4、Is not the king's name twenty thousand names? 国王的名字不是可以抵得上二万个名字吗?
5、Mine ear is open and my heart prepared; The worst is worldly loss thou canst unfold. Say, is my kingdom lost? why, 'twas my care And what loss is it to be rid of care? ... Cry woe, destruction, ruin and decay: The worst is death, and death will have his day.
我的耳朵是敞着的,我的心也有了准备;你所能向我宣布的最不幸的灾祸,不过是人世间的损失。说,我的王国灭亡了吗?这本是我所烦心之事;要是免除了这份烦心,倒也不算是什么损失。……灾祸、毁灭、丧亡和没落一起向我嘶吼;千古艰难唯一死,死是谁也逃不掉的。
6、-R: And tell sad stories of the death of kings; How some have been deposed; some slain in war, Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd; All murder'd. ... And mock not flesh and blood With solemn reverence: throw away respect, Tradition, form and ceremonious duty, For you have but mistook me all this while: I live with bread like you, feel want, Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus, How can you say to me, I am a king? 讲些关于国王们的死亡的悲惨的故事;有些是被废黜的,有些是在战场上阵亡的,有些是被他们所废黜的鬼魂缠绕着的,有些是被他们的妻子所毒毙的,有些是在睡梦中被杀的,全都不得善终。……不要用恭敬的样子来讥笑一个血肉之躯;丢开恭敬、惯例、仪式和礼节,你们一向都把我认错了;和你们一样,我也靠面包生活,我也有欲望、懂得悲哀、需要朋友;既然如此,你们怎么能对我说我是国王呢?
-CARLISLE: My lord, wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, But presently prevent the ways to wail. 陛下,聪明人决不袖手闲坐,嗟叹他们的不幸;他们总是立刻起来,防御当前的祸患。
7、Proud Bolingbroke, I come! To change blows with thee for our day of doom. An easy task it is to win our own.
骄傲的波林勃洛克,我来了!来和你交锋,一决生死存亡,争回自己的权利并不难。
8、Go to Flint Castle: there I'll pine away; A king, woe's slave, shall kingly woe obey. ... Discharge my followers: let them hence away, From Richard's night to Bolingbroke's fair day.到弗林特堡去,我要在那里忧思而死。一个国王,将成为悲哀的奴隶,服从他的号令。……解散我的随从人众,让他们赶快离开这儿,从理查的黑夜,踏进波林勃洛克的光明的白昼。
9、King Richard lies within the limits of yon lime and stone. 理查王就在那边灰石的围墙之内。
10、For well we know, no hand of blood and bone Can gripe the sacred handle of our sceptre, Unless he do profane, steal, or usurp! 因为我知道,除了用亵渎、偷窃和篡夺的手段以外,没有一只凡人的血肉之手,可以攫夺我的神圣的御杖。
11、I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My subjects for a pair of carved saints And my large kingdom for a little grave, ... And, therein laid, "There lies two kinsmen, igged their graves with weeping eyes." 我愿用珠宝换一串祈祷的念珠,用我豪华的宫殿换一所隐居的茅庵,用我雕刻的酒杯换一只粗劣的木盏,用我的人民换一对圣徒的雕像,用我广大的王国换一座小小的坟墓,……上面刻着:“此处长眠着两个亲人,他们用泪眼掘成了坟墓。”
12、For night-owls shriek where mounting larks should sing.
因为冲天的云雀的歌鸣,已经被夜枭的叫声所代替了。
13、Me rather had my heart might feel your love Than my unpleased eye see your courtesy. 我愿由内心感到你的友爱,不愿用不愉快的眼睛看你礼貌周全。
15、-R to H: Your own is yours, and I am yours, and all. 你应得的归你了,我也归你了,一切都是。【这词太歧义了!!!】
16、-Servant: Why should we (in the compass of a pale-BBC版删) Keep law and form and due proportion, (Showing, as in a model, our firm estate, -BBC删) When our sea-walled garden, the whole land, Is full of weeds, her fairest flowers choked up, Her fruit-trees all upturned, her hedges ruin'd, Her knots disorder'd and her wholesome herbs Swarming with caterpillars? 我们何必在这里保持法纪、秩序和有条不紊的布置,你看我们以海为墙的花园,我们的国土,不是莠草蔓生,她最美的鲜花全都窒息而死,她的果树无人修剪,她的篱笆东倒西歪,她的花池凌乱无序,她的奇花异草,被虫蛀得枝叶凋残吗?
-Gardener: Hold thy peace! He that hath suffer'd this disorder'd spring Hath now himself met with the fall of leaf: The weeds which his broad-spreading leaves did shelter, That seem'd in eating him to hold him up, Are pluck'd up root and all by Bolingbroke, ... 不要胡说。纵容春天荒芜凌乱的那个人,自己已经遭到落叶飘零的命运;那些托庇于他的广布的枝叶之下,名为拥护他,实则在吞噬他的莠草,全都被波林勃洛克连根拔起了。
17、-Servant: What, think you then the king shall be deposed? 什么?你觉得国王会被他们废黜吗?
-Gardener: Depress'd he is already, and deposed ('Tis doubt) he will be. 他已经被人压倒,恐怕就会被废黜了。
18、Come, ladies, go, To meet at London London's king in woe. ... Gardener, for telling me these news of woe, Pray God the plants thou graft'st may never grow.来,姑娘们,走吧,我们到伦敦去,会一会不幸的君王吧。园丁,你告诉我这些不幸的消息,我愿上帝使你种下的草木永不生长。
【ACT IV 第四幕】
1、Marry. God forbid! Would God that any in this noble presence Were enough noble to be upright judge Of noble Richard! ... O, if you raise this house against this house, It will the woefullest division prove That ever fell upon this cursed earth! 嗳哟,上帝不允许这样的事!但愿在座的高贵人士之中,有人真的足够高贵,来公正的审判尊贵的理查。……要是你们帮助一个王族倾覆他同族的君王,将会造成这被诅咒的世界上,最不幸的分裂。
2、But he, in twelve, Found truth in all but one; I in twelve thousand, none.
God save the king! Will no man say amen? Am I both priest and clerk? well then, amen.
God save the king! although I be not he; And yet, amen, if heaven do think him me.
可基督十二门徒中,只有一人不忠于他;我一万二千臣子中,一个忠心的都没有。
上帝保佑吾王!没有一个人说“阿门”吗?我必须又当祭司又当执事吗?那么好,阿门。
上帝保佑吾王!虽然我不是他,可是我还是要说阿门,也许上天还认为他是我呢。
3、-R: My crown I am; but still my griefs are mine. 王冠我愿意放弃,可我的悲哀仍属于我。
-H: Part of your cares you give me with your crown. 随同王冠,你也给了我部分的忧虑。
-R: Your cares set up do not pluck my cares down. My care is loss of care, by old care done; Your care is gain of care, by new care won: The cares I give I have, though given away; They tend the crown, yet still with me they stay.
你的忧虑增加,并不使我的减少。我的忧虑丧失了旧日的责任;你的忧虑是分外的责任加身。虽然我把忧虑给了你,我仍然占有它;它们追随着王冠,可仍在我心头萦绕。
-H: Are you contented to resign the crown? 你愿意放弃你的王冠吗?
-R:Ay, no; no, ay; for I must nothing be; Therefore no no, for I resign to thee. Now mark me, how I will undo myself;
I give this heavy weight from off my head (And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,-BBC删) The pride of kingly sway from out my heart;
With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
With mine own hands I give away my crown,
With mine own tongue deny my sacred state,
With mine own breath release all duty's rites:
All pomp and majesty I do forswear;
(My manors, rents, revenues I forego; My acts, decrees, and statutes I deny: God pardon all oaths that are broke to me! God keep all vows unbroke that swear to thee!)
Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, And thou with all pleased, that hast all achieved!
Long mayst thou live in Richard's seat to sit, And soon lie Richard in an earthly pit!
God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, And send him many years of sunshine days!
是,不;不,是;我是一个没用的废人,一切听从你的尊意。现在瞧我怎样毁灭我自己:
我从头上卸下这千斤的重压,(从我的手里放下这粗笨的御杖,)从心头丢弃了君主的威权;
我用自己的泪洗去我的圣油,用自己的手缴出我的王冠,用自己的舌头,废弃我的王位,用自己的语言免除一切臣下的敬礼;
一切的排场仪仗我都免除,(放弃我的采地、租税和收入,撤销我的诏谕、命令和法律;愿上帝宽宥一切对我毁弃的誓言!愿上帝使一切对你所作的盟约永无更改!)
让我这一无所有的人,无可悲哀,让你这享有一切的人,一切如愿!
愿你千秋万岁安坐在理查的宝位之上,愿理查早早长眠在黄土的垅中!
上帝保佑亨利王!失去王冠的理查这样说;愿他享受无数阳光灿烂的岁月!
4、And must I ravel out My weaved-up folly? 我必须一丝一缕地剖析我的错综交织的谬误吗?
Conveyers are you all, That rise thus nimbly by a true king's fall. 你们都是送往迎来的人,靠着一个真命君王的没落捷足高升。
【ACT V 第五幕】
1、Thou kill'st me in his life; giving him breath, The traitor lives, the true man's put to death. 你让他活命,等于把我杀死;赦免了叛徒,却把忠臣处了死刑。
2、【DUCHESS OF YORK 约克夫人的台词真是字字珠玑】
A beggar begs that never begg'd before. 一个从未乞求过的乞丐在向您求情。
3、O king, believe not this hard-hearted man! Love loving not itself none other can. 啊,国王!不要相信这个狠心人;连亲儿子都不爱的人,怎会爱别人呢?
4、Not yet, I thee beseech: For ever will I walk upon my knees, (And never see day that the happy sees, Till thou give joy;-BBC删) until thou bid me joy, By pardoning (Rutland, -BBC删) my transgressing boy. 原谅我,我不能。我要永远跪在地上匍匐膝行,(永远不看见幸福的人们所见的白昼,)直到您把快乐给了我,宽恕(鲁特兰,)我一时失足的孩子。
5、Nay, do not say, "stand up;" Say, 'pardon' first, and afterwards "stand up."
(And if I were thy nurse, thy tongue to teach, "Pardon" should be the first word of thy speech.-BBC删)
I never long'd to hear a word till now; Say "pardon," king; let pity teach thee how: The word is short, but not so short as sweet; No word like "pardon" for kings' mouths so meet.
不,别说“起来”;先说“宽恕”,才能再说“起来”。
(假如我是你的保姆,我在教你说话的时候,一定先教你说“宽恕”两字。)
我从来不曾像这样渴望听见这两个字;说“宽恕”吧,国王,让慈悲心教导您。字眼虽短,但意味深长;没有字像“宽恕”那样适合君王。
6、A god on earth thou art! 您真是世间的天神!
【DUCHESS OF YORK 约克夫人的台词真是字字珠玑】
7、I wasted time, and now doth time waste me; 我曾糟蹋时间,现在时间来糟蹋我了。
8、For though mine enemy thou hast ever been, High sparks of honour in thee have I seen. 因为虽然你一向是我的敌人,我却从你身上看到了荣誉的光辉。
9、They love not poison that do poison need, Nor do I thee: though I did wish him dead, I hate the murderer, love him murdered. 需要毒药的人,并不喜爱毒药,我对你也是这样;虽然我希望他死,却痛恨杀他的凶手,而爱着被杀的人。【相爱相杀】
【RSC补充:】
1、Myself I throw, dread sovereign, at thy foot. My life thou shalt command, but not my shame: ... Then, dear my liege, mine honour let me try; In that I live and for that will I die. 尊严的陛下,我愿意把自己投身在您的足前。您可以支配我的生命,可是不能强迫我容忍耻辱。……所以,我的好陛下,让我为我的荣誉而战吧;我借着荣誉而生,也愿为荣誉而死。
2、Ere my tongue Shall wound my honour with such feeble wrong, Or sound so base a parle, my teeth shall tear The slavish motive of recanting fear, And spit it bleeding in his high disgrace, Where shame doth harbour, even in Mowbray's face. 在我的舌头用这种卑怯的侮辱伤害我的荣誉、发出这样可耻的求和的声请以前,我的牙齿将要把这种自食前言的懦怯的畏惧嚼为粉碎,把它带血唾在那无耻的毛勃雷脸上。
3、-GAUNT: Convey me to my bed, then to my grave: Love they to live that love and honour have. 把我搬到床上去,然后再把我送下坟墓;享受着爱和荣誉的人,才会感到生存的乐趣。
-R: And let them die that age and sullens have; For both hast thou, and both become the grave. 让那些年老而满腹牢骚的人去死吧;你正是这样的人,这样的人是只配在坟墓里的。
4、thy fierce hand Hath with the king's blood stain'd the king's own land. Mount, mount, my soul! thy seat is up on high; Whilst my gross flesh sinks downward, here to die. 你这残忍的手已经用国王的血玷污了他自己的国土,升上去,升上去,我的灵魂,你的位置是在高天之上;而我污浊的肉体则向地下沉埋,就在这里死亡。
