我的耳朵能够辨别一根琴弦上的错乱的节奏
And here have I the daintiness of ear to hear time broke
却听不出我的地位和时间
in a disordered string But in the concord of my state
已经整个失去了谐和
and time I had not an ear to hear my true time broke
我曾经消耗时间,现在时间却在消耗着我
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me
这音乐使我发疯,不要再奏下去吧
This music mads me. Let it sound no more
可是祝福那为我奏乐的人!因为这总是好意的表示
Yet blessing on his heart that gives it me, for ’tis a sign of love
在这充满着敌意的世上,好意对于理查是一件珍奇的宝物
And love to Richard is a strange brooch in this all-hating world
祝福,庄严的君王!
Hail, royal prince
谢谢,尊贵的卿士,我们中间最微贱的人,也会高抬他自己的身价
Thanks, noble peer. The cheapest of us is ten groats too dear
你是什么人?
What art thou?
这儿除了给我送食物来、延长我的不幸的生命的那个可恶的家伙以外
And how comest thou hither where no man ever comes but
从来不曾有人来过,你是怎么来的,汉子?
that sad dog that brings me food to make misfortune live?

啊!那天波林勃洛克加冕的日子
O, how it yearned my heart when I beheld in London streets,
我在伦敦街道上看见他骑着那匹斑色的巴巴里马
that coronation-day when Bolingbroke rode on roan Barbary
我想起您从前常常骑着它,我替它梳刷的时候,也总是特别用心
That horse that thou so often had bestrid,
现在马儿已经换了主人,看着它我的心就痛了
that horse that I so carefully have dressed
他骑着巴巴里马吗?告诉我,好朋友,它载着波林勃洛克怎么走?
Rode he on Barbary? Tell me, gentle friend, how went he under him?
高视阔步,就像它瞧不起脚下的土地一般
So proudly as if he had disdained the ground
它是因为波林勃洛克在它的背上而这样骄傲的!
So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back?
那畜生曾经从我的尊贵的手里吃过面包
That jade hath eat bread from my royal hand,
它曾经享受过御手抚拍的光荣
that hand hath made him proud with clapping him
它不会颠踬吗?
Would he not stumble?
骄傲必然会遭到倾覆,它不会失足倒地
Would he not fall down, since pride must have a fall and
跌断那霸占着它的身体的骄傲的家伙的头颈吗?
break the neck of that proud man that did usurp his back?
恕我,马儿!你是造下来受制于人
Forgiveness, horse. Why do I rail on thee,
天生供人坐骑的东西,为什么我要把你责骂呢?
since thou, created to be awed by man, wast born to bear?
我并不是一匹马,却像驴子一般背负着重担
I was not made a horse, and yet I bear a burden like an ass
被波林勃洛克鞭策得遍体鳞伤
Spur-galled and tired by jauncing Bolingbroke
汉子,走开,你不能再留在这儿了
Fellow, give place. Here is no longer stay
要是你爱我,现在你可以去了
If thou love me, ’tis time thou wert away
我的舌头所不敢说的话,我的心将要代替它诉说
What my tongue dares not, that my heart shall say
王爷,请用餐吧
My lord, will it please you to fall to?
按照平日的规矩,你应该先尝一口再给我
Taste of it first, as thou wert wont to do
王爷,我不敢
My lord, I dare not.

There lately came one from the king, commands the contrary
魔鬼把亨利·兰开斯特和你一起抓了去!
The devil take Henry Bolingbroke and thee!
我再也忍♥耐不住了
Patience is stale, and I am weary of it
呀!这一场杀气腾腾的进攻是什么意思?
How now? What means death in this rude assault?
恶人,让你自己手里的武器结果你自己的生命
Villain, thine own hand yields thy death’s instrument.
你也到地狱去吧!
Go thou, and fill another room in hell
啊!!!
Aaahhh!!!

That hand shall burn in never-quenching fire that
将要在永远不熄的烈火中焚烧
staggers thus my person

Mount, mount, my soul, thy seat is up on high,
我的污浊的肉体却在这儿死去,它将要向地下沉埋
whilst my gross flesh sinks downward, here to die
他满身都是勇气,正像他满身都是高贵的血液一样
As full of valour as of royal blood.
我已经溅洒他的血液,毁灭他的勇气
Both have I spilled.
啊!但愿这是一件好事,因为那夸奖我♥干♥得不错的魔鬼

现在却对我说这件行为已经记载在地狱的黑册之中
me I did well says that this deed is chronicled in hell

and sentence of his pride
卡莱尔,这是我给你的判决
Carlisle, this is your doom

Choose out some secret place, some reverend room,
在那儿度你的逍遥自在的生涯
more than thou hast, and with it joy thy life
平平安安地活着,无牵无挂地死去
So as thou livest in peace, die free from strife

你把一颗负罪的良心拿去作为你的辛劳的报酬吧
The guilt of conscience take thou for thy labour,
可是你不能得到我的嘉许和眷宠
but neither my good word nor princely favour
