假定外国人被赶走 而你们的喧嚣
Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
也骂倒了英格兰的整个权威
hath chid down all the majesty of England;
《托马斯·莫尔爵士》
伊恩·麦克莱恩
假定你们见到了悲惨的外国人
imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
背上背着婴儿 带着少得可怜的行李
their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
沉重缓慢地走向港口和海岸 准备离境
plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation,
就算你们如愿以偿 坐上了皇家宝座
and that you sit as kings in your desires,
权威的声音也为你们的吵闹所压倒
authority quite silent by your brawl,
哪怕你们华衮加身 志得意满
and you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
你们又能得到什么
What had you got?
告诉你们 你们只会证明
I’ll tell you: you had taught
暴戾和高压如何取得了胜利
how insolence and strong hand should prevail,
秩序如何遭到了破坏而已 而照此下去
how order should be quelled; and by this pattern
你们就没有一个人能活到晚年
not one of you should live an aged man,
因为别的暴徒也会按他们的幻想
for other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
用同样的手段 同样的理由和权利
with self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
把你们吃掉 而人们也将如贪吃的鱼群
would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
互相吞噬…
feed on one another…
你们会迫♥害♥外国人 杀害他们
You’ll put down strangers, kill them,
割断他们的喉咙 强占他们的住房♥
cut their throats, possess their houses,
你们用皮带牵着法律的权威
and lead the majesty of law in lyam
把他像猎狗一样嗾了出去
to slip him like a hound.
啊 简直是肆无忌惮
O, desperate as you are,
用泪水清洗你们肮脏的心
wash your foul minds with tears,
举起你们那企图像叛逆一样
and those same hands, that you like rebels
破坏和平的手 去保卫和平吧
lift against the peace, lift up for peace,
把你们那大不敬的膝盖 当作脚跪下来吧
and your unreverent knees, make them your feet to kneel
跪下来请求宽恕
to be forgiven!
如果国王此时出于仁德
Say now the King! As he is clement,
矜悯犯罪的人们
if th’ offender mourn,
对你们的巨大过失只给轻微的惩处
should so much come too short of your great trespass.
把你们流放出境 你们又能到哪儿去
As but to banish you, whether would you go?
按你们错误的性质 哪一个国家愿意
What country, by the nature of your error
收留你们 无论是到法兰西 佛兰德斯
should give you harbor? Go you to France or Flanders,
德国的任何一省 西班牙或是葡萄牙
to any German province, to Spain or Portugal.
是的 无论你们到哪个国家 只要它与
Nay, any where that not adheres to England.
英国风习不同 你们都难免变成外国人
Why, you must needs be strangers:
那时你们能快乐吗 若是那里的人也有
would you be pleased to find a nation of such barbarous temper,
这野蛮的脾气 也爆发出可憎的暴行
that, breaking out in hideous violence,
不让你们在人世有栖身之地
would not afford you an abode on earth,
也磨利了他们罪恶的刀刃对准你们的咽喉
whet their detested knives against your throats,
像狗一样踢开你们 仿佛上帝
spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God
并不承认也不曾创造了你们
owed not nor made not you, nor that the claimants
而人世的一切只能是他们的特权
were not all appropriate to your comforts,
你们完全没有资格享用 若是你们如此
but chartered unto them, what would you think
你们将作何感想
to be thus used?
今天的外国佬正是这样
This is the strangers case;
你们毫不近人情也是这样
and this your mountainish inhumanity.
