20 Romeo and Juliet

20 罗密欧与朱丽叶

Romeo:He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
           (Juliet appears above at a window.)
           But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
           It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
           Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
           Who is already sick and pale with grief,
           That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
           Be not her maid, since she is envious,
           Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
           And none but fools do wear it, cast it off.
           It is my lady; O, it is my love. O, that she knew she were!
           She speaks, yet she says nothing: what of that?
           Her eye discourses，I will answer it.
           I am too bold,'tis not to me she speaks.
           Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
           Having some business, do entreat her eyes
           To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
           What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
           The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
           As daylight doth a lamps her eyes in heaven
           Would through the airy region stream so bright
           That birds would sing and think it were not night.
           See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that
           I were a glove upon that hand,
           That I might touch that cheek!

罗密欧:没有受过伤的人才会嘲笑别人身上的伤痕。
          (朱丽叶的身影出现在窗口)
          轻声!那边窗子里亮起来的是什么光?
          那就是东方，朱丽叶便是那朝阳!
          起来吧，美丽的太阳!赶走那嫉妒的月亮。
          它的侍女比它美丽，它因此气得面色惨白。
          既然它这样对你，你何苦还要忠于它?
          脱下它赏给你的那些惨绿色的道服吧。
          那是做给愚人的衣服。
          那是我的意中人，啊!那是我的爱!
          啊，但愿她知道我在爱着她!
          她欲言又止，她要说什么?
          她的眼睛透露了她的心事。让我来回答她吧。
          不，我太鲁莽了，她并不是在跟我说话。
          天空中有两颗最灿烂的星星。
          因为有事离开了，
          恳求让她的眼睛代替它们在天空中闪耀，直到归来之时。
          如果她的双眼真挂在天上，而把星星变成了她的眼睛，
          那会是怎样呢?
          她脸庞的光辉，将使那些星星黯然失色，
          如同白昼掩盖了灯光一般。
          在天庭中，她的眼睛将大放光芒，
          让鸟儿误认为黑夜已经过去，而开始歌唱。
          看，她用纤手托起自己的脸，真是太美了!
          啊，我真愿是那纤手上的一只手套，
          好一亲芳泽。

Juliet:Ah me!

朱丽叶:唉。

Romeo:She speaks!
           O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
           As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
           As is a winged messenger of heaven. Unto the white-
           upturned wondering eyes
           Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him. When he
           bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
           And sails upon the bosom of the air.

罗密欧:她说话了!
          啊，说下去吧，光明的天使!
          我在黑夜中仰望你，像尘世的凡人一样，惊呆了，瞻
          仰着长着翅膀的天使，驾着白云缓缓地滑行，划破了天际。

Juliet:O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
         Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
         Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
         And I'II no longer be a Capulet.

朱丽叶:噢，罗密欧，罗密欧!你为什么偏偏叫罗密欧呢?
          否认你的父亲，抛弃你的名字吧，
          如果你不愿意，只要你发誓爱我，
          我就不再是凯普莱特了。

Romeo:(Aside.)Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

罗密欧:(自语)我是继续听下去，还是现在就和她说话?

Juliet:Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
         Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
         What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
         Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
         Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
         What's in a name? That which we call a rose
         By any other name would smell as sweet,
         So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
         Retain that dear perfection which he owes
         Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
         And for that name, which is no part of thee
         Take all myself.

朱丽叶:只有你的名字是我的仇敌。
           你即使不姓蒙太古，你仍然还是你。
           名字是什么?它不是手臂不是脚，
           不是胳膊也不是脸，更不是身体的其他任何部分。
           啊，换个名字吧!
           名字算什么?人们叫做玫瑰的那种花，
           换个名字也同样芬芳!
          罗密欧也一样，如果换个名字，
          他那种可爱的完美，也不会有丝毫的改变。
          罗密欧啊，改掉你的名字吧，
          请接受我的一切来补偿你那空名。

Romeo:I take thee at thy word.
           Call me but love, and I'II be new baptiz'd;
           Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

罗密欧:那么我便听你的话。
          只要你肯做我的情人，我便立刻去重新受洗，
          从此以后不再叫罗密欧了。

Juliet:What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
         So stumblest on my counsel?

朱丽叶:你是谁，竟敢在黑夜里躲躲闪闪偷听人家讲话?

Romeo:By a name
           I know not how to tell thee who I am:
           My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
           Because it is an enemy to thee.
           Had I it written，I would tear the word.

罗密欧:无法告诉你，我的名字。亲爱的圣女，我自己都痛恨
           我的名字，因为它是你的仇敌。如果我把它写在纸上，
           一定把它撕个粉碎。

Juliet:  My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words
          Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound,
          Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?

朱丽叶:虽然你没有多说话，可是我已分辨出了你的声音，你
           不是罗密欧吗，一个蒙太古家的人?

Romeo: Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.

罗密欧:不是，美人，如果你不喜欢。

Juliet:  How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
          The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
          And the place death, considering who thou art,
          If any of my kinsmen find thee here.

朱丽叶:你是怎么进来的，告诉我，从哪里来的?
           这花园的墙又高又难爬，如果被我的家人发现你在这
           儿，他们决不会让你活命的。

Romeo: With love’s light wings did I o' erperch these walls,
            For stony limits cannot hold love out. And what love
            can do, that dares love attempt;
           Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.

罗密欧:我乘着爱的轻翼飞过高墙，因为土石的界限决不能禁
           阻爱情。凡是爱情的力量所能做到的，它都可以做到，
           所以你的家人绝不是我的阻碍。

Juliet:   If they do see thee, they will murder thee.

朱丽叶:如果他们看见你，会杀了你的。

Romeo: Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
            Than twenty of their swords! look thou but sweet,
            And I am proof against their enmity.

罗密欧:哦，你的眼神比他们的20把利剑还要厉害!只要你满
           怀柔情地望着我，他们就不能伤害到我。

Juliet:   I would not for the world they saw thee here.

朱丽叶:我不愿意让他们看见你在这里。

Romeo: I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
            And, but thou love me, let them find me here.
            My life were better ended by their hate,
            an death prorogued, wanting of thy love.

罗密欧:浓浓的夜色把我包围在这里，只要你爱我，就让他们
           发现我在这儿吧。与其在爱你的痛苦中活命，还不如
           死在他们仇恨的刀剑下。
