美国语文第六册 第259期:安东尼站在恺撒尸体前(1)

LESSON 77 ANTONY OVER CAESAR'S DEAD BODY

第七十七课 安东尼站在恺撒尸体前

Antony says, Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears,

安东尼说各位朋友，各位罗马人，同胞们，请你们且听我说，

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

我是来埋葬恺撒，不是来赞美他的。

The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred¹ with their bones; So let it be with Caesar.

那些作恶多端的人，身后定遭人唾弃；而他们做的善事，却往往随着尸骨一齐长埋地下了；让恺撒也这样吧。

The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious; If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it.

尊贵的布鲁图已经告诉过你们，恺撒野心勃勃；若果真如此，确实是他一个严重过失，恺撒也为此付出了惨重代价。

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honorable man;

在这里，我征得布鲁图和他手下的同意--因为布鲁图是一个诚实的人；

So are they all, all honorable men— Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.

当然他们也一样，都是诚实的人--所以我到这儿来为恺撒的葬礼致辞。

He was my friend, faithful and just to me; But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man.

他是我忠实的朋友，公正无私；但是布鲁图却道他野心勃勃；而布鲁图是一个正人君子。

He hath brought many captives home to Rome, whose ransoms² did the general coffers fill; Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

他曾经带许多俘虏回到罗马，他们的赎金充实了府库；恺撒的野心就是这样吗？

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept; Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man.

穷人哀号的时候，恺撒也为他们流泪；一个野心家只会无动于衷。然而，布鲁图却道他野心勃勃；而布鲁图是一个诚实的人。
