Romeo and Juliet — Page 4
三场因一句轻率之言引起的市民斗殴,
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,
由你们,老卡普莱特,和蒙太古,
By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
已三度扰乱了我们街道的安宁,
Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,
使维罗纳的老市民们
And made Verona's ancient citizens
抛下他们那庄重得体的装束,
Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments,
挥舞着老旧的长矛,那拿矛的手同样苍老,
To wield old partisans, in hands as old,
在太平岁月中早已生锈,却要来平息你们那腐蚀人心的仇恨。
Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate.
若你们再次扰乱我们的街道,
If ever you disturb our streets again,
你们将以性命偿还破坏和平之罪。
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
此刻,其余所有人一律离去:
For this time all the rest depart away:
你,卡普莱特,随我同行,
You, Capulet, shall go along with me,
蒙太古,你今日下午前来,
And Montague, come you this afternoon,
听取我们对此案的进一步裁决,
To know our farther pleasure in this case,
前往旧自由镇,我们公共的裁判之所。
To old Free-town, our common judgement-place.
再次警告,违者处死,所有人退下。
Once more, on pain of death, all men depart.
〔王子与侍从、卡普莱特、卡普莱特夫人、提伯尔特、市民及仆人等退场。〕
[Exeunt Prince and Attendants; Capulet, Lady Capulet, Tybalt, Citizens and Servants.]
蒙太古:
MONTAGUE.
是谁重新挑起了这旧日的仇怨?
Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?
说吧,侄儿,事情发生时你在场吗?
Speak, nephew, were you by when it began?
班伏里奥:
BENVOLIO.
你的对头家的仆人和你家的仆人,在我赶到之前就已打在一处了。
Here were the servants of your adversary and yours, close fighting ere I did approach.
我拔剑上前欲将他们分开,就在此时,
I drew to part them, in the instant came
那暴烈的提伯尔特持剑而至,
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepar'd,
他一边向我耳中喷吐挑衅之言,
Which, as he breath'd defiance to my ears,
一边将剑在头顶挥舞,劈风而过,
He swung about his head, and cut the winds,
那风毫发无伤,却嘘声嘲笑他。
Who nothing hurt withal, hiss'd him in scorn.
当我们你来我往地交锋厮杀之际,
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows
越来越多的人加入,双方各自混战,
Came more and more, and fought on part and part,
直到王子驾到,才将两方分开。
Till the Prince came, who parted either part.
蒙太古夫人:
LADY MONTAGUE.
哦,罗密欧在哪里,你今天见到他了吗?
O where is Romeo, saw you him today?
我实在庆幸他不在这场斗殴之中。
Right glad I am he was not at this fray.
班伏里奥:
