美國語文第六冊 第263期:安東尼站在愷撒尸體前(5)

Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold our Caesar's vesture wounded? Look you here, here is himself, marred, as you see, with traitors.

善良的人們，怎么，難道你們只看見愷撒衣服上的傷痕，就哭起來了嗎?瞧這兒，這才是他受的傷，你們看，讓叛徒們殘害到什么樣子了。

Oh, piteous spectacle! Oh, noble Caesar! We will be revenged! Revenge! About! Seek! Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay! Let not a traitor live. Stay, countrymen!

啊，多叫人傷心的情景啊!啊，尊貴的愷撒!我們一定要血債血償!血債血償!動手吧!抓住他們!燒!放火啊!殺!殺死他們!叛徒一個不留。少安毋躁，同胞們!

Peace there! hear the noble Antony. We'll hear him, we'll follow him, we'll die with him.

安靜一下!大家聽尊貴的安東尼講話。我們要聽他的，我們要跟隨他，我們要和他死在一塊兒。

Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up to such a sudden flood of mutiny.

好朋友們，親愛的朋友們，不要讓我煽動起這樣一場突如其來的流血暴動。

They that have done this deed are honorable; What private griefs they have, alas, I know not, that made them do it; they are wise and honorable,

這種事都是一些誠實的人所為;唉!我不曉得他們之間有什么私人恩怨，令他們做出此等事來;他們都是聰明而誠實的人，

And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you. I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts; I am no orator, as Brutus is;

毫無疑問，他們有理由答復你們。朋友們，我可不是來偷走你們心的;我不是一個像布魯圖那樣的演說家;

 

But, as you know me all, a plain, blunt man, that love my friend;

誠如各位所知，我是一個老老實實，愛我的朋友的人;

And that they know full well that gave me public leave to speak of him.

他們也十分清楚，這才允許我站出來為他說幾句話。

For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, to stir men's blood;

因為我既沒有智慧，又沒有口才，也沒有本領，我也不會用行動和蠱惑人心的話語來激起人們的血性;

I only speak right on; I tell you that which you yourselves do know, show you sweet Caesar's wounds, poor, poor, dumb mouths, and bid them speak for me;

我只不過說出我心里話而已;我告訴你們的都是你們確實知道的，指給你們看親愛的愷撒的刀傷，可憐的、可憐的無言之口，請求它們代我說出真相;

but were I Brutus, and Brutus Antony, there were an Antony would ruffle up your spirits, and put a tongue In every wound of Caesar,

但是，如果我是布魯圖，布魯圖是安東尼的話，那么這個安東尼一定會使你們激情澎湃，讓愷撒的每一道傷口都變成一條舌頭，

that should move the stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.

連羅馬的頑石也會受到感動，起身反抗。
