美國語文第五冊 第185期：威廉-泰爾（10）
Hit thee? Send the arrow through thy brain? Or, missing that, hoot out an eye?
射中？射出的箭能穿透你的腦袋；偏一點，就會射中你的眼睛；
Or, if thine eye escape, mangle the cheek I've seen thy mother's lips cover with kisses?
躲過眼睛，又會射穿你的臉，我看過你媽媽親吻多少次的那張小嘴；
Hit thee? Hit a hair of thee, and cleave thy mother's heart?
或者刺過你的頭發(fā)，那簡直就是挖你媽媽的心肝呀！
Dost thou consent?
你愿意嗎？
Give me my bow and quiver.
把我的箭和箭袋給我。
For what? To shoot my boy!
想好了？我要殺死我的兒子。
No, father, no! To save me! You'll be sure to hit the apple. Will you not save me, father?
不，爸爸，不要！救救我！你一定要射中那個蘋果。你難道不愿意救我嗎？
Lead me forth; I'll make the trial! Thank you!
我要做，我要試試。謝謝爸爸！
Thank me? Do you know for what? I will not make the trial.
謝謝我？你知道為什么？孩子，我不會淪陷為試驗品，
To take him to his mother in my arms! And lay him down a corse before her!
抱著孩子走到他母親那里，在她的眼前放下兒子的尸體！
Then he dies this moment, and you certainly do murder him whose life you have a chance to save, and will not use it.
不然的話，他現(xiàn)在就得死，你確實在謀害你的兒子，不過，你只有一次機會，試，還是不試？
Well, I'll do it; I'll make the trial. Father!
好，我來，我要試試。爸爸！
Speak not to me: Let me not hear thy voice: thou must be dumb, and so should all things be.
不要和我說話！不要讓我聽見你的聲音，你必須一聲不吭，周圍不能有哪怕丁點聲音，
Earth should be dumb; And heaven—unless its thunders muttered at the deed, and sent a bolt to stop!
所有的人都不能出聲，還有圣靈——除非上天的雷能夠目睹這一罪惡，一道電閃雷鳴就將這里徹底炸翻！
Give me my bow and quiver!
把我的箭和箭袋給我！
When all's ready.
準備好了嗎？
Ready! I must be calm with such a mark to hit!
是的！我必須沉著冷靜地射中目標！
Don't touch me, child! Don't speak to me! Lead on!
不要動，孩子！不要和我說話，堅持?。?/p>
