美国语文第六册 第128期:伍尔西大主教的垮台(4)
我已经跟他说过，你的为人，你如何忠实，他会提拔你的。
Some little memory of me will stir him — I know his noble nature — not to let Thy hopeful service perish, too:
只要他能够想起我一点影子来——我清楚他天性高贵，不会让——你的希望和效忠的愿望也落空的;
good Cromwell, Neglect him not; make use now, and provide For thine own future safety.
好克伦威尔，切不可忽略他;要把握现在的时机，为你自己未来的安全做好准备。
O my lord, Must I, then, leave you? Must I needs forego So good, so noble, and so true a master?
我的大人，我必须走吗?难道我非得弃您这么一位善良、高贵和真实的主人而去吗?
Bear witness, all that have not hearts of iron, With what a sorrow Cromwell leaves his lord.
一切不是铁石心肠的人，请你们作证，我克伦威尔离开我的主人，心里有多难过。
The king shall have my service; but my prayers Forever and forever shall be yours.
我一定去效忠国王;但是我会永远为您祈祷。
Cromwell, I did not think to shed a tear In all my miseries; but thou hast forced me, Out of thy honest truth, to play the woman.
克伦威尔，但我本没打算流一滴眼泪，尽管我苦难深重，但是你这番言辞切切的表白却迫使我扮演起女人的角色了。
Let's dry our eyes: and thus far hear me, Cromwell;
我们擦干眼泪吧，再听我说几句，克伦威尔;
And, when I am forgotten, as I shall be, And sleep in dull, cold marble, where no mention Of me more must be heard of, say, I taught thee;
等我被人遗忘时，等我安眠在没有感觉、冷冰冰的大理石棺材里，再也听不见人们提到我的时候，你可以对人说我曾开导你，
Say, Wolsey, that once trod the ways of glory, And sounded all the depths and shoals of honor, Found thee a way, out of his wreck, to rise in;
就说伍尔西经踩在光荣之路上，探查过荣誉的全部深渊和浅滩，从他的残骸里为你找到了一条通往上层的道路，
A sure and safe one, though thy master missed it.
一条稳妥安全的道路，尽管你的主人错过了这条道路。
Mark but my fall, and that that ruin'd me.
你只管留意我是如何垮台的，是什么导致我毁灭的。
