【中英对照】戏剧Everyman

1、信使：诸位看官细听端详, 我把此事向您宣讲， 这是一出道德剧一一 名字就叫召唤人。我们人类有生有死， 人的一生转瞬即逝。 这件事情极为重要。 而其意义更加美好。现在开始言归正传一一 人生起步谨慎为先， 还要注意善始善终， 千万不要过于放纵！ 犯罪之初沾沾自喜。最终导致灵魂哭泣， 躯体入土一了百了。 这里你会看到欢闹、 友谊、力量、享乐和美， 像花一样逐渐衰萎。因为你将听到天王 要给人类结算总账： 注意听他说了什么。神：我在这里安坐大国， 看到人类满不在乎， 对我不惧享受宏福， 罪孽深重不把我拜， 一心只想致富发财。圣明、权杖皆不惧怕， 临死之前我曾立法。我曾流血已被忘记， 二人陪我无庸置疑。

2、为救他们我把命丧， 头戴荆冠为其治伤， 我已真正竭尽全力。现在人们将我遗弃， 他们犯有七项死罪，Messenger: I pray you all give your audience, And here this matter with reverence, By figure a moral play-The Summoning of Everyman called it is, That of our lives and ending shows How transitory we be all day.This matter is wonderous precious, But the

3、 intent of it is more gracious, And sweet to bear away.The story saith,-Man, in the beginning, Look well, and take good heed to the ending, Be you never so gay!Ye think sin in the beginning full sweet, Which in the end causeth thy soul to weep, When the body lieth in clay.Here shall you see how Fell

4、owship and Jollity, Both Strength, Pleasure, and Beauty, W川 fade from thee as flower in May.For ye shall here, how our heavenly king Calleth Everyman to a general reckoning: Give audience, and here what he doth say.God: I perceive here in my majesty, How that all the creatures be to me unkind, Livin

5、g without dread in worldly prosperity: Of ghostly sight the people be so blind, Drowned in sin, they know me not for their God; In worldly riches is all their mind, They fear not my right wiseness, the sharp rod; My law that I shewed, when I for them died, They forget clean, and shedding of my blood

6、 red; I hanged between two, it cannot be denied;To get them life I suffered to be dead;I healed their feet; with thorns hurt was my head: I could do no more than I did truly, And now I see the people do clean forsake me.骄傲贪婪愤怒淫秽。 既然造出美好世间， 谁与天使天堂相伴？ 人人都在寻欢作乐， 根本不知何为生活。 我对他们愈是忍让， 他们愈是让我失望。 一切生命均受伤害 所

7、以我才匆匆赶来， 和人一起算这笔账。 若把他们抛在一旁， 灾难之中含辛茹苦， 他们就会禽兽不如。 出于妒忌你夺我争， 早把仁慈忘得干净。 以前我曾衷心希望， 人人都会建造住房， 成为选民住在那里， 现在他们垂头丧气。 一不感谢我的好心， 二不感谢造人之恩。 我给人类慈悲无限， 慈悲之人难得一见。 他们追求物质财富， 需要之人我定照顾， 安心度日不必害怕， 死亡，你这信使在哪?死亡：全能之神有何吩咐? 我在这里听您调度。神：奉我之命快去找人， 以我名义向他说清： 要他务必出去朝圣， 想要躲过绝不可能；They use the seven deadly sins damnable;As pride

8、, covetise, wrath, and lechery, Now in the world be made commendable;And thus they leave of angels the heavenly company; Everyman liveth so after his own pleasure, And yet of their life they be nothing sure:I see the more that I them forbearThe worse they be from year to year;All that liveth appaire

9、th fast,Therefore I will in all the hasteHave a reckoning of Everyman s personFor and I leave the people thus aloneIn their life and wicked tempests,Verily they will become much worse than beasts;For now one would by envy another up eat;Charity they all do clean forget.I hope well that EverymanIn my

10、 glory should make his mansion, And thereto I had them all elect;But now I see, like traitors deject,They thank me not for the pleasure that I to them meant, Nor yet for their being that I them have lent;I proffered the people great multitude of mercy, And few there be that asketh it heartily;They b

11、e so cumbered with worldly riches, That needs on them I must do justice, On Everyman living without fear.Where art thou, Death, thou mighty messenger?Death: Almighty God, I am here at your will, Your commandment to fulfill.God: Go thou to Everyman, And show him in my name A pilgrimage he must on him

12、 take, Which he in no wise may escape;让他带来一份账单,即刻动身不要拖延。And that he bring with him a sure reckoning Without delay or any tarrying.死亡：我在世间主宰生灵, 仔细盘查毫不留情。野蛮愚蠢不法之徒， 定会遭到我的惩处。爱财之人会挨标枪， 打瞎眼睛逐出天堂， 投入地狱直到永远， 除非他爱施舍行善。我见人从那边走来， 浑然不觉我的存在。一心想着发财寻欢， 如果来到天王面前， 定会遭受巨大痛苦。站住！你要到哪里去？ 为何如此兴高采烈？ 难道已经忘记我主？Death: Lord,

13、 I will in the world go run over all, And cruelly outsearch both great and small; Every man will I beset that liveth beastly Out of God s laws, and dreadeth not folly; He that loveth riches I will strike with my dart, His sight to blind, and from heaven to depart, Except that alms be his good friend

14、, In hell for to dwell, world without end.Lo, yonder I see Everyman walking;Full little he thinketh on my coming;His mind is on fleshly lust and his treasure, And great pain it shall cause him to endure Before the Lord Heaven King.Everyman, stand still; whither art thou going Thus gaily?Hast thou th

15、y Maker forget?人：为何问我这一问题?你真的想知道？Everyman: Why askst thou?Wouldest thou wete?死亡：对，先生，我会告诉你, 我受天神陛下委派， 为了找你匆匆赶来。人：什么，找我？死亡：当然。虽然你已将他忘记， 他在天国仍然想你， 分手之前你就知道。人：神要我做什么？Death: Yea, sir, I will show you;In great haste I am sent to thee From God out of his great majesty.Everyman: What, sent to me?Death: Yea

16、, certainly.Though thou have forget him here, He thinketh on thee in the heavenly sphere, As, or we depart, thou shalt know.Everyman: What desireth God of me?死亡：我会告诉你，他要和你算账。一刻也不容缓。人：我想再等一等，这事令我头痛。死亡：你要长途旅行，带着你的账簿，千万不要回头，肯定能够算清：你将来到神的面前， 招出你的劣迹斑斑： 面对天堂主神， 描述你的生平。走在路上会有麻烦， 没有人会为你斡旋。人：这样算账我无准备， 你是为谁传递

17、消息？死亡：我是死亡谁也不畏, 让人长眠无论是谁， 那是神的命令， 人人都得服从。人：死亡啊，你的到来我没想过， 你有权力可以救我。我在这里向你致意， 一千英镑随你拿去， 如果你能慈悲为怀， 把这件事推到将来。死亡：人啊，这个主意根本不行，Death: That shall I show thee;A reckoning he will needs have Without any longer respite.Everyman: To give a reckoning longer leisure I crave; This blind matter troubleth my wit.Dea

18、th: On thee thou must take a long journey: Therefore thy book of count with thee thou bring;For turn again thou can not by no way, And look thou be sure of thy reckoning: For before God thou shalt answer, and show Thy many bad deeds and good but few;How thou hast spent thy life, and in what wise, Be

20、 God s commandmentThat all to me should be obedient.Everyman: O Death,Thou comest when I had thee least in mind;In thy power it lieth me to save,Yet of my good will I give thee, if ye will be kind, Yea, a thousand pound shalt thou have, And defer this matter till another day.Death: Everyman, it may

21、not be by no way;金银财富我不看重； 教皇皇帝王公贵族， 我对他们不屑一顾。如果我想得到重礼， 世界就在我的手里。但这不合我的习惯， 赶快动身不要拖延。人：唉呀！难道我再不能歇停？ 死亡不会把人提醒。 想起死亡令我烦恼。 我的账簿尚未写好。我若停留一十二年， 可使账簿一目了然。再也不必担心算账， 求你看在神的份上， 发发善心放我一马， 等我找到补救办法。死亡：哭泣请求都没有用, 还是赶快踏上征程。你可考验一下朋友， 你要知道岁月如流， 由于亚当犯有罪过， 世人必死无法逃脱。人：我若依你出去朝圣， 同时也将账目算清， 请你务必说个明白， 短期之内我不必来？死亡：一旦你到那里， 再

22、也不会来此， 相信我。I set not by gold, silver nor, riches, Ne by pope, emperor, king, duke, ne princes. For and I would receive gifts great, All the world I might get;But my custom is clean contrary.I give thee no respite: come hence, and not tarry.Everyman: Alas, shall I have no longer respite?I may say Dea

26、？人：我当然这样认为。死亡：不对，那是借给你的 但是只要你一出发，稍后你就可得到它， 即使以前犯有过错。人啊，你疯了，你有五项智能，你无法重新做人，因为我突然来到。人：可怜的人啊，我要逃到哪里才能摆脱无限痛苦！仁慈的死亡，宽限我到明天，让我好好考虑，如何重新做人。死亡：不，我不会同意，我谁也不宽限，我什么也不想，而是直捣心脏。现在我要离开你，Everyman: O gracious God, in the high seat celestial,Have mercy on me in this most need;Shall I have no company from this vale t

30、 will me hie;看你马上准备就绪， 你可以这么说： 今天谁也逃不脱。人：唉！我只好哭泣, 没有伙伴把我照料， 我的账本也没写好。 我将如何自我开脱， 但愿天神没有造我！ 对我灵魂大有好处， 因我现在万般痛苦。 愿主帮助所有生灵， 我虽悲伤毫无作用。 光阴荏苒今日将完 我仍不知要怎么办。 满腹话语向谁倾诉， 找到友谊和盘托出。 把这遭遇向他陈述， 我对于他完全信任。 我们交往已有多年， 一起运动一起游玩。 我看见他就在那里， 他会愿意做我伴侣。 向他诉说解我烦恼。 碰巧见面友谊你好！友谊：人啊，你好！为何面露愁容？ 如有难事请告诉我， 也许我能帮你解决。人：是的，好心的友谊 我在危险之
