論愛情中英互譯演講稿
舞台上的愛情生活比生活中的愛情要美好得多。因為在舞台上,愛情只是喜劇和悲劇的素材,而在人生中,愛情卻常常招來不幸。它有時象那位誘惑人的魔女(1),有時又象那位復仇的女神(2)。
you may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion. you must except, nevertheless, marcus antonius, the half partner of the empire of rome, and appius claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.
你可以看到,一切真正偉大的人物(無論是古人、今人,只要是其英名永銘於人類記憶中的),沒有一個是因愛情而發狂的人。因為偉大的事業只有羅馬的安東尼和克勞底亞是例外(3)。前者本性就好色荒淫,然而後者卻是嚴肅多謀的人。這説明愛情不僅會佔領開曠坦闊的胸懷,有時也能闖入壁壘森嚴的心靈----假如手御不嚴的話。
it is a poor saying of epicurus, satis magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus; as if man, made for the contemplation of heaven, and all noble objects, should do nothing but kneel before a little idol, and make himself a subject, though not of the mouth (as beasts are), yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes.
埃闢克拉斯(4)曾説過一句笨話:“人生不過是一座大戲台。”似乎本應努力追求高尚事業的人類,卻只應象玩偶般地逢場作戲。雖然愛情的奴隸並不同於那班只顧吃喝的禽獸,但畢竟也只是眼目色相的奴隸,而上帝賜人以眼睛本來是有更高尚的用途的。
it is a strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole, is comely in nothing but in love. neither is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath been well said, that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man’s self; certainly the lover is more. for there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of himself, as the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said, that it is impossible to love, and to be wise. neither doth this weakness appear to others only, and not to the party loved; but to the loved most of all, except the love be reciproque. for it is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque, or with an inward and secret contempt.
過度的愛情追求,必然會降低人本身的價值。例如,只有在愛情中,才總是需要那種浮誇陷媚的詞令。而在其他場合,同樣的'詞令只能招人恥笑。古人有一句名言:“最大的奉承,人總是留給自己的。”----只有對情人的奉承要算例外。因為甚至最驕傲的人,也甘願在情人面前自輕自賤。所以古人説得好:“就是神在愛情中也難保持聰明。”情人的這種弱點不僅在外人眼中是明顯的,就是在被追求者的眼中也會很明顯----除非她(他)也在追求他(她)。所以,愛情的代價就是如此,不能得到回愛,就會得到一種深藏於心的輕蔑,這是一條永真的定律。
by how much the more, men ought to beware of this passion, which loseth not only other things, but itself! as for the other losses, the poet’s relation doth well figure them: that he that preferred helena, quitted the gifts of juno and pallas. for whosoever esteemeth too much of amorous affection, quitteth both riches and wisdom.
由此可見,人們應當十分警惕這種感情。因為它不但會使人喪失其他,而且可以使人喪失自己本身。甚至其他方面的損失,古詩人早告訴我們,那追求海倫的人,是放棄了財富和智慧的(5)。
this passion hath his floods, in very times of weakness; which are great prosperity, and great adversity; though this latter hath been less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent, and therefore show it to be the child of folly. they do best, who if they cannot but admit love, yet make it keep quarters; and sever it wholly from their serious affairs, and actions, of life; for if it check once with business, it troubleth men’s fortunes, and maketh men, that they can no ways be true to their own ends.
由此可見,人們應當十分警惕這種感情。因為它不但會使人喪失其他,而且可以使人喪失自己本身。甚至其他方面的損失,古詩人早告訴我們,那追求海倫的人,是放棄了財富和智慧的(5)。
