美國語文第六冊 第260期:安東尼站在愷撒尸體前(2)
在盧柏克節(jié)的那天，你們全都看到了，我三次向他獻上一頂王冠，他三次都拒絕了，有野心的人會這樣嗎?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and, sure, he is an honorable man.
然而，布魯圖卻道他野心勃勃，而布魯圖的確是一個誠實的人。
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know.
我并非要反駁布魯圖的說法，我在這里所說的只是我所知道的實情。
You all did love him once, not without cause; What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him?
你們過去都曾愛過他，那絕非無緣無故的愛;那么，是什么原因阻止你們哀悼他呢?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason.
啊，是成見啊!一旦掉進野獸的包圍，人們便喪失了辨別能力。
Bear with me, my heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me.
請原諒我，現在我的心隨愷撒一起，留在他的棺木之內了，我必須停頓片刻，待它回到我的胸膛里。
But yesterday the word of Caesar might have stood against the world; Now lies he there, and none so poor to do him reverence.
可是昨天，愷撒的一句話還可以抵御整個世界;而現在，他就躺在那兒，沒有一個卑賤的人向他致敬。
O masters! if I were disposed to stir your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong, who, you all know, are honorable men.
啊，諸位!倘若我有意要使你們內心不安，企圖引起一場叛亂和憤怒，那我就要對不起布魯圖，和凱西尤了，諸位想必曉得，他們都是誠實的人。
I will not do them wrong; I rather choose to wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you, than I will wrong such honorable men.
我不愿干有負于他們的事;我寧愿有負于死人，有負于我自己和你們，卻不愿有負于這些誠實的人。
But here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar; I found it in his closet; Is it his will?
不過這里有一張羊皮紙，上面蓋著愷撒的大印;是我在他的臥室里找到的;是他的遺囑嗎?
