美國語文第六冊 第261期:安東尼站在愷撒尸體前(3)
只要讓民眾一聽到這張遺囑上的話，原諒我，我現(xiàn)在還不想宣讀遺囑，
and they would go and kiss dead Caesar's wounds, and dip their napkins in his sacred blood; Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,
他們就會去吻愷撒尸體上的傷口，用手巾去蘸他神圣的血;還要請求留下他的一根頭發(fā)作紀(jì)念，
and, dying, mention it within their wills, bequeathing it as a rich legacy Unto their issue.
在他們壽終正寢時，會在他們的遺囑上指明，作為傳給他們后代的一項寶貴遺產(chǎn)。
Citizen says we'll hear the will: read it, Mark Antony.
公民說我們要聽遺囑;讀吧，馬克·安東尼。
All say the will, the will; we will hear Caesar's will.
眾公民說遺囑，遺囑!我們要聽愷撒的遺囑。
Antony says have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it;
安東尼說耐心點，善良的朋友們;我不能讀給你們聽;
It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you.
你們也許不曉得愷撒有多么愛你們。
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men;
你們不是木頭，你們不是石塊，你們是人;
And, being men, hearing the will of Caesar, it will inflame you, it will make you mad;
只要是人，聽到愷撒的遺囑，就會點燃你們心中的火焰，就會使你們發(fā)瘋;
it is good you know not that you are his heirs; For, if you should, Oh what would come of it!
你們還是不要知道你們是繼承人為好;因為，要是你們知道了的話，啊，就會引起一場大亂!
Read the will; we'll hear it, Antony; You shall read the will, Caesar's will.
讀遺囑!我們要聽，安東尼;你務(wù)必讀給我們聽，那是愷撒的遺囑。
Will you be patient? Will you stay awhile? I have o'ershot myself to tell you of it:
你們能再忍耐一點嗎?你們能再等一會兒嗎?我一時失口才告訴了你們這件事;
I fear I wrong the honorable men whose daggers have stabbed Caesar.
我怕對不起那些用匕首刺死愷撒的誠實的人。
I do fear it. They were traitors: honorable men! The will! the testament!
我怕我對不起他們。他們是叛徒;什么誠實的人!遺囑!遺囑!
You will compel me, then, to read the will? Then make a ring about the corpse of Caesar, and let me show you him that made the will.
你們一定要逼我讀那份遺囑嗎?這樣的話，你們就圍著愷撒的尸體站個圈兒，我來指給你們看看寫這份遺囑的人吧。
