Act I, Scene 2 Another street. 第二場 另一街道 [Enter OTHELLO, IAGO, and Attendants with torches] Iago. Though in the trade of war I have slain men, Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience To do no contrived murder: I lack iniquity Sometimes to do me service: nine or ten times I had thought to have yerk'd him here under the ribs. 奧瑟羅、伊阿古及侍從等持火炬上。 伊阿古 雖然我在戰場上殺過不少的人，可是總覺得有意殺人是違反良心的；缺少作惡的本能，往往使我不能做我所要做的事。好多次我想要把我的劍從他的肋骨下面刺進去。 Othello. 'Tis better as it is. 奧瑟羅 還是隨他說去吧。 Iago. Nay, but he prated, And spoke such scurvy and provoking terms Against your honour That, with the little godliness I have, I did full hard forbear him. But, I pray you, sir, Are you fast married? Be assured of this, That the magnifico is much beloved, And hath in his effect a voice potential As double as the duke's: he will divorce you; Or put upon you what restraint and grievance The law, with all his might to enforce it on, 伊阿古 可是他嘮哩嘮叨地說了許多難聽的話破壞您的名譽，連像我這樣一個荒唐的傢伙也實在壓不住心頭的怒火。可是請問主帥，你們有沒有完成婚禮？您要注意，這位元老是很得人心的，他的潛勢力比公爵還要大上一倍；他會拆散你們的姻緣，盡量運用法律的力量來給您種種壓制和迫害。 Othello. Let him do his spite: My services which I have done the signiory Shall out-tongue his complaints. 'Tis yet to know,— Which, when I know that boasting is an honour, I shall promulgate—I fetch my life and being From men of royal siege, and my demerits May speak unbonneted to as proud a fortune As this that I have reach'd: for know, Iago, But that I love the gentle Desdemona, I would not my unhoused free condition Put into circumscription and confine For the sea's worth. But, look! what lights come yond? 奧瑟羅 隨他怎樣發洩他的憤恨吧；我對貴族們所立的功勞，就可以駁倒他的控訴。世人還沒有知道——要是誇口是一件榮耀的事，我就要到處宣佈——我是高貴的祖先的後裔，我有充分的資格，享受我目前所得到的值得驕傲的幸運。告訴你吧，伊阿古，倘不是我真心戀愛溫柔的苔絲狄蒙娜，即使給我大海中所有的珍寶，我也不願意放棄我的無拘無束的自由生活，來俯就家室的羈縛的。可是瞧！那邊舉著火把走來的是些什麼人？ Iago. Those are the raised father and his friends: You were best go in. 伊阿古 她的父親帶著他的親友來找您了；您還是進去躲一躲吧。 Othello. Not I. I must be found: My parts, my title and my perfect soul Shall manifest me rightly. Is it they? 奧瑟羅 不，我要讓他們看見我；我的人品、我的地位和我的清白的人格可以替我表明一切。是不是他們？ Iago. By Janus, I think no. 伊阿古 憑二臉神起誓，我想不是。 Othello. The servants of the duke, and my lieutenant. The goodness of the night upon you, friends! What is the news? 奧瑟羅 原來是公爵手下的人，還有我的副將。晚安，各位朋友！有什麼消息？ Cassio. The duke does greet you, general, And he requires your haste-post-haste appearance, Even on the instant. 凱西奧 主帥，公爵向您致意，請您立刻就過去。 Othello. What is the matter, think you? 奧瑟羅 你知道是為了什麼事？ Cassio. Something from Cyprus as I may divine: It is a business of some heat: the galleys Have sent a dozen sequent messengers This very night at one another's heels, And many of the consuls, raised and met, Are at the duke's already: you have been hotly call'd for; When, being not at your lodging to be found, The senate hath sent about three several guests To search you out. 凱西奧 照我猜想起來，大概是塞浦路斯方面的事情，看樣子很是緊急。就在這一個晚上，戰船上已經連續不斷派了十二個使者趕來告急；許多元老都從睡夢中被人叫醒，在公爵府裡集合了。他們正在到處找您；因為您不在家裡，所以元老院派了三隊人出來分頭尋訪。 Othello. 'Tis well I am found by you. I will but spend a word here in the house, And go with you. 奧瑟羅 幸而我給你找到了。讓我到這兒屋子裡去說一句話，就來跟你同去。（下。） Cassio. Ancient, what makes he here? 凱西奧 他到這兒來有什麼事？ Iago. 'Faith, he to-night hath boarded a land carack: If it prove lawful prize, he's made for ever. 伊阿古 不瞞你說，他今天夜裡登上了一艘陸地上的大船；要是能夠證明那是一件合法的戰利品，他可以從此成家立業了。 Cassio. I do not understand. 凱西奧 我不懂你的話。 Iago. He's married. 伊阿古 他結了婚啦。 Cassio. To who? 凱西奧 跟誰結婚？ Iago. Marry, to—Come, captain, will you go? 伊阿古 呃，跟——來，主帥，我們走吧。 Othello. Have with you. 奧瑟羅 好，我跟你走。 Cassio. Here comes another troop to seek for you. 凱西奧 又有一隊人來找您了。 Iago. It is Brabantio. General, be advised; He comes to bad intent. 伊阿古 那是勃拉班修。主帥，請您留心點兒；他來是不懷好意的。 Othello. Holla! stand there! 奧瑟羅 喂！站住！ Roderigo. Signior, it is the Moor. 羅德利哥 先生，這就是那摩爾人。 Brabantio. Down with him, thief! 勃拉班修 殺死他，這賊！（雙方拔劍。） Iago. You, Roderigo! come, sir, I am for you. 伊阿古 你，羅德利哥！來，我們來比個高下。 Othello. Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them. Good signior, you shall more command with years Than with your weapons. 奧瑟羅 收起你們明晃晃的劍，它們沾了露水會生銹的。老先生，像您這麼年高德劭的人，有什麼話不可以命令我們，何必動起武來呢？ Brabantio. O thou foul thief, where hast thou stow'd my daughter? Damn'd as thou art, thou hast enchanted her; For I'll refer me to all things of sense, If she in chains of magic were not bound, Whether a maid so tender, fair and happy, So opposite to marriage that she shunned The wealthy curled darlings of our nation, Would ever have, to incur a general mock, Run from her guardage to the sooty bosom Of such a thing as thou, to fear, not to delight. Judge me the world, if 'tis not gross in sense That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, Abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals That weaken motion: I'll have't disputed on; 'Tis probable and palpable to thinking. I therefore apprehend and do attach thee For an abuser of the world, a practiser Of arts inhibited and out of warrant. Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Subdue him at his peril. 勃拉班修 啊，你這惡賊！你把我的女兒藏到什麼地方去了？你不想想你自己是個什麼東西，膽敢用妖法蠱惑她；我們只要憑著情理判斷，像她這樣一個年輕貌美、嬌生慣養的姑娘，多少我們國裡有財有勢的俊秀子弟她都看不上眼，倘不是中了魔，怎麼會不怕人家的笑話，背著尊親投奔到你這個醜惡的黑鬼的懷裡？——那還不早把她嚇壞了，豈有什麼樂趣可言！世人可以替我評一評，是不是顯而易見你用邪惡的符咒欺誘她的嬌弱的心靈，用藥餌丹方迷惑她的知覺；我要在法庭上叫大家評一評理，這種事情是不是很可能的。所以我現在逮捕你；妨害風化、行使邪術，便是你的罪名。抓住他；要是他敢反抗，你們就用武力制伏他。 Othello. Hold your hands, Both you of my inclining, and the rest: Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it Without a prompter. Where will you that I go To answer this your charge? 奧瑟羅 幫助我的，反對我的，大家放下你們的手！我要是想打架，我自己會知道應該在什麼時候動手。您要我到什麼地方去答覆您的控訴？ Brabantio. To prison, till fit time Of law and course of direct session Call thee to answer. 勃拉班修 到監牢裡去，等法庭上傳喚你的時候你再開口。 Othello. What if I do obey? How may the duke be therewith satisfied, Whose messengers are here about my side, Upon some present business of the state To bring me to him? 奧瑟羅 要是我聽從您的話去了，那麼怎麼答覆公爵呢？他的使者就在我的身邊，因為有緊急的公事，等候著帶我去見他。 First Officer. 'Tis true, most worthy signior; The duke's in council and your noble self, I am sure, is sent for. 吏役 真的，大人；公爵正在舉行會議，我相信他已經派人請您去了。 Brabantio. How! the duke in council! In this time of the night! Bring him away: Mine's not an idle cause: the duke himself, Or any of my brothers of the state, Cannot but feel this wrong as 'twere their own; For if such actions may have passage free, Bond-slaves and pagans shall our
statesmen be. 勃拉班修 怎麼！公爵在舉行會議！在這樣夜深的時候！把他帶去。我的事情也不是一件等閒小事；公爵和我的同僚們聽見了這個消息，一定會感到這種侮辱簡直就像加在他們自己身上一般。要是這樣的行為可以置之不問，奴隸和異教徒都要來主持我們的國政了。（同下。） |
