SCENE A great terrace in the Palace of Herod, set above the banqueting—hall. Some soldiers are leaning over the balcony. To the right there is a gigantic staircase, to the left, at the back, an old cistern surrounded by a wall of green bronze. The moon is shining very brightly.
场景：在希律王宫殿的宴会厅上边，有一个巨大的阳台。几个士兵正斜靠在阳台上。阳台的右边是一排巨大的楼梯，阳台的左后方则是青铜色墙壁围成的古老蓄水池。月光皎洁。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN How beautiful is the Princess Salome to—night!
年轻的叙利亚军官：今晚莎乐美公主多么光彩照人啊！
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS Look at the moon. How strange the moon seems! She is like a woman rising from a tomb. She is like a dead woman. One might fancy she was looking for dead things.
希罗底的侍从：看那月亮。月亮看上去多么奇怪啊！她就像一个从坟墓里缓缓而来的女人。她活像一具行尸走肉。人们可能觉得她在寻找死去的东西。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN She has a strange look. She is like a little princess who wears a yellow veil, and whose feet are of silver. She is like a princess who has little white doves for feet. One might fancy she was dancing.
年轻的叙利亚军官：她表情怪诞。她像一个头戴黄色面纱、双脚呈银白色的小公主。她像一个公主，有着如白鸽般的双脚。人们可能觉得她正在跳舞。
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS She is like a woman who is dead. She moves very slowly.
希罗底的侍从：她像是死去的人。她行动缓慢。
(Noise in the banqueting—hall. )
（宴会厅传来响声。）
FIRST SOLDIER What an uproar! Who are those wild beasts howling?
士兵一：真吵闹！那些嚎叫的野兽是谁？
SECOND SOLDIER The Jews. They are always like that. They are disputing about their religion.
士兵二：是犹太人。他们总是这样。他们总是争论他们的宗教信仰。
FIRST SOLDIER Why do they dispute about their religion?
士兵一：他们为什么争论他们的宗教信仰呢？
SECOND SOLDIER I cannot tell. They are always doing it. The Pharisees, for instance, say that there are angels, and the Sadducees declare that angels do not exist.
士兵二：我说不好。他们总是一直不停地争论。比如说，法利赛人说天使存在，而撒都该人却声称天使不存在。
FIRST SOLDIER I think it is ridiculous to dispute about such things.
士兵一：我认为为这样的事情争论是很荒唐的。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN How beautiful is the Princess Salome to—night!
年轻的叙利亚军官：今晚莎乐美公主多么光彩照人啊！
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS You are always looking at her. You look at her too much. It is dangerous to look at people in such fashion. Something terrible may happen.
希罗底的侍从：你总是看着她！你看她看得太过分了。这样看人是非常危险的。很可能会发生可怕的事情。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN She is very beautiful to—night.
年轻的叙利亚军官：她今晚光彩照人。
FIRST SOLDIER The Tetrarch has a sombre aspect.
士兵一：陛下看起来相当忧郁。
SECOND SOLDIER Yes; he has a sombre aspect.
士兵二：是的，他看起来愁容满面。
FIRST SOLDIER He is looking at something.
士兵一：他正在看着什么东西。
SECOND SOLDIER He is looking at some one.
士兵二：他是在看什么人。
FIRST SOLDIER At whom is he looking?
士兵一：他在看谁？
SECOND SOLDIER I cannot tell.
士兵二：我不知道。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN How pale the Princess is! Never have I seen her so pale. She is like the shadow of a white rose in a mirror of silver.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主脸色多么苍白啊！我从未见她脸色如此苍白。她就像是银镜里白玫瑰花的影子。
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS You must not look at her. You look too much at her.
希罗底的侍从：你千万别再看她了。你看得太过分了。
FIRST SOLDIER Herodias has filled the cup of the Tetrarch.
士兵一：希罗底王后为陛下斟满了美酒。
THE CAPPADOCIAN Is that the Queen Herodias, she who wears a black mitre sewed with pearls, and whose hair is powdered with blue dust?
卡帕多西亚人：那位头上戴着镶嵌了珍珠的黑色王冠、头发上扑着蓝粉的就是希罗底王后吗？
FIRST SOLDIER Yes; that is Herodias, the Tetrarch's wife.
士兵一：是的，那就是希罗底王后，陛下的妻子。
SECOND SOLDIER The Tetrarch is very fond of wine. He has wine of three sorts. One which is brought from the Island of Samothrace, and is purple like the cloak of Caesar.
士兵二：陛下很喜欢喝葡萄酒。他有三种葡萄酒。其中一种来自萨莫色雷斯岛，紫得就像凯撒的长袍一样。
THE CAPPADOCIAN I have never seen Caesar.
卡帕多西亚人：我从未见过凯撒。
SECOND SOLDIER Another that comes from a town called Cyprus, and is as yellow as gold.
士兵二：还有一种来自一个叫塞浦路斯的小城镇，黄澄澄的，像金子一样。
THE CAPPADOCIAN I love gold.
卡帕多西亚人：我喜爱金子。
SECOND SOLDIER And the third is a wine of Sicily. That wine is as red as blood.
士兵二：第三种是西西里葡萄酒。那种葡萄酒火红如血。
THE NUBIAN The gods of my country are very fond of blood. Twice in the year we sacrifice to them young men and maidens: fifty young men and a hundred maidens. But I am afraid that we never give them quite enough, for they are very harsh to us.
努比亚人：我们国家的神明很喜欢鲜血。一年两次，我们用五十个童男和一百个童女来祭拜他们。但我认为我们进贡得还不够多，因为他们对我们非常苛刻。
THE CAPPADOCIAN In my country there are no gods left. The Romans have driven them out. There are some who say that they have hidden themselves in the mountains, but I do not believe it. Three nights I have been on the mountains seeking them everywhere. I did not find them, and at last I called them by their names, and they did not come. I think they are dead.
卡帕多西亚人：在我的国家里已经没有神明了。罗马人把他们都赶走了。有些人说他们藏到了大山里，但我不相信。我曾经在山上找了三天三夜，找遍了山上的每个角落。但我没找到，最后我大声咒骂他们，他们也没有出现。我想他们已经死了。
FIRST SOLDIER The Jews worship a God that one cannot see.
士兵一：犹太人崇拜一种人们看不到的神。
THE CAPPADOCIAN I cannot understand that.
卡帕多西亚人：我无法理解。
FIRST SOLDIER In fact, they only believe in things that one cannot see.
士兵一：事实上，他们只相信人们看不到的事物。
THE CAPPADOCIAN That seems to me altogether ridiculous.
卡帕多西亚人：我觉得那荒唐至极。
THE VOICE OF IOKANAAN After me shall come another mightier than I. I am not worthy so much as to unloose the latchet of his shoes. When he cometh the solitary places shall be glad. They shall blossom like the rose. The eyes of the blind shall see the day, and the ears of the deaf shall be opened. The sucking child shall put his hand upon the dragon's lair, he shall lead the lions by their manes.
先知约翰的声音：在我之后会有位比我更伟大的人来到这里。我甚至没有资格替他解鞋带。当他到来的时候，冷清的地方也会热闹起来。它们将会繁荣兴旺起来，就像盛开的玫瑰花一样。盲人的眼睛将会看见光明，聋子的耳朵将会听见声音。还未断奶的婴儿将会把手放到龙的毛发上，还会牵着狮子的鬃毛领着狮子走。
SECOND SOLDIER Make him be silent. He is always saying ridiculous things.
士兵二：让他住口。他总是说些荒唐的事情。
FIRST SOLDIER No, no. He is a holy man. He is very gentle, too. Every day when I give him to eat he thanks me.
士兵一：不，不。他是圣人。他也非常温和。每天我给他送餐的时候，他总是很感谢我。
THE CAPPADOCIAN Who is he?
卡帕多西亚人：他是谁？
FIRST SOLDIER A prophet.
士兵一：一位先知。

卡帕多西亚人：他叫什么名字？
FIRST SOLDIER Iokanaan.
士兵一：约翰。
THE CAPPADOCIAN Whence comes he?
卡帕多西亚人：他从哪里来？
FIRST SOLDIER From the desert, where he fed on locusts and wild honey. He was clothed in camel's hair, and round his loins he had a leathern belt. He was very terrible to look upon. A great multitude used to follow him. He even had disciples.
士兵一：他来自沙漠，在那里他以蝗虫和野生蜂蜜为生。他穿的衣服是用骆驼的毛发做成的，他的腰上系着皮带。他面相丑陋。曾经有大批民众追随他。他甚至还有几个信徒。
THE CAPPADOCIAN What is he talking of?
卡帕多西亚人：他在谈论什么？
FIRST SOLDIER We can never tell. Sometimes he says things that affright one, but it is impossible to understand what he says.
士兵一：我们不知道。有时他说的事情很吓人，但是我们无法理解他说的话。
THE CAPPADOCIAN May one see him?
卡帕多西亚人：别人可以见他吗？
FIRST SOLDIER No. The Tetrarch has forbidden it.
士兵一：不行，陛下不让别人见他。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN The Princess has hidden her face behind her fan! Her little white hands are fluttering like doves that fly to their dove—cots. They are like white butterflies. They are just like white butterflies.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主用扇子挡住了自己的脸！她小巧白皙的双手挥动着，正如飞向巢穴的白鸽。它们像是白蝴蝶。它们就像是白蝴蝶。
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS What is that to you? Why do you look at her? You must not look at her.... Something terrible may happen.
希罗底的侍从：和你有什么关系？你为什么老是看着她？你不能再看她了……很可能会发生可怕的事情。
THE CAPPADOCIAN (Pointing to the cistern. ) What a strange prison!
卡帕多西亚人：（指着蓄水池。）多么奇特的监狱啊！
SECOND SOLDIER It is an old cistern.
士兵二：那是个旧的蓄水池。
THE CAPPADOCIAN An old cistern! That must be a poisonous place in which to dwell!
卡帕多西亚人：一座旧的蓄水池！那肯定是一个险恶的地方！
SECOND SOLDIER Oh no! For instance, the Tetrarch's brother, his elder brother, the first husband of Herodias the Queen, was imprisoned there for twelve years. It did not kill him. At the end of the twelve years he had to be strangled.
士兵二：哦，才不是！举个例子，陛下的哥哥，希罗底王后的第一任丈夫，就被囚禁在那里十二年。他并没有因此而死。十二年之后他才被绞死。
THE CAPPADOCIAN Strangled? Who dared to do that?
卡帕多西亚人：绞死？谁敢那么做？
SECOND SOLDIER (Pointing to the Executioner, a huge negro. ) That man yonder, Naaman.
士兵二：（指向一个体形健硕的黑人行刑者。）那儿的那个人，那曼。
THE CAPPADOCIAN He was not afraid?
卡帕多西亚人：他不害怕么？
SECOND SOLDIER Oh no! The Tetrarch sent him the ring.
士兵二：哦，才不呢！陛下派人送来了戒指。
THE CAPPADOCIAN What ring?
卡帕多西亚人：什么戒指？
SECOND SOLDIER The death ring. So he was not afraid.
士兵二：死亡戒指。所以他就不怕了。
THE CAPPADOCIAN Yet it is a terrible thing to strangle a king.
卡帕多西亚人：不过绞死一位国王还是很可怕的。
FIRST SOLDIER Why? Kings have but one neck, like other folk.
士兵一：为什么？国王也只有一个脖子，就像其他人一样。
THE CAPPADOCIAN I think it terrible.
卡帕多西亚人：我认为那太可怕了。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN The Princess is getting up! She is leaving the table! She looks very troubled. Ah, she is coming this way. Yes, she is coming towards us. How pale she is! Never have I seen her so pale.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主站起来了！她要离开桌子！她看起来愁容满面。啊，她正朝这边走来。是的，她正朝我们走来。她脸色多么苍白啊！我从未见她脸色如此苍白。
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS Do not look at her. I pray you not to look at her.
希罗底的侍从：不要看她。我求求你不要再看她。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN She is like a dove that has strayed.... She is like a narcissus trembling in the wind.... She is like a silver flower.
年轻的叙利亚军官：她就像迷失的鸽子……她就像风中摇曳的水仙花……她就像银白色的花朵。
(Enter Salome. )
（莎乐美走了进来。）
SALOME I will not stay. I cannot stay. Why does the Tetrarch look at me all the while with his mole's eyes under his shaking eyelids? It is strange that the husband of my mother looks at me like that I know not what it means. Of a truth I know it too well.
莎乐美：我再也不会呆在这里了。我不能再忍受下去了。为什么陛下眼皮颤动，一直用鼹鼠一样的眼睛白我？很奇怪，我母亲的丈夫用那样的眼光看我，就好像我不知道是什么意思似的。事实上，我太清楚那是什么意思了。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN You have left the feast, Princess?
年轻的叙利亚军官：您离开宴席了吗，公主殿下？
SALOME How sweet is the air here! I can breathe here! Within there are Jews from Jerusalem who are tearing each other in pieces over their foolish ceremonies, and barbarians who drink and drink and spill their wine on the pavement, and Greeks from Smyrna with painted eyes and painted cheeks, and frizzed hair curled in columns, and Egyptians silent and subtle, with long nails of jade and russet cloaks, and Romans brutal and coarse, with their uncouth jargon. Ah! how I loathe the Romans! They are rough and common, and they give themselves the airs of noble lords.
莎乐美：这里的空气多么甜美啊！在这里我才能透过气来！在那边，从耶路撒冷来的犹太人因为他们愚蠢的宗教仪式而恨不得把对方撕成碎片；还有野蛮人不停地饮酒，还把酒溅到了路面上；从士麦那来的希腊人则把眼睛和脸蛋画得花花绿绿的，头发也弄得卷曲；还有那些手带长长的玉制长爪、身穿黄褐色长袍的埃及人，他们沉默但却狡诈；最后还有一群讲不文明黑话的罗马人，他们既残忍又粗犷。啊！我多么厌恶罗马人！他们既粗鲁又平凡，但却觉得自己是高雅的贵族。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Will you be seated, Princess.
年轻的叙利亚军官：您请坐，公主殿下。
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS Why do you speak to her? Oh! something terrible will happen. Why do you look at her?
希罗底的侍从：你为什么和她说话？哦！可能会发生可怕的事情。你为什么要看她？
SALOME How good to see the moon! She is like a little piece of money, a little silver flower.
莎乐美：看月亮是多么美好的一件事啊！她就像是一小枚钱币、一小朵银花。
She is cold and chaste. I am sure she is a virgin. She has the beauty of a virgin. Yes, she is a virgin. She has never defiled herself. She has never abandoned herself to men, like the other goddesses.
她冰清玉洁。我确信她是个处女。她身上有处女的美丽。是的，她是一个处女。她从未被玷污过。她不像其他的女神一样，曾委身于男人。
THE VOICE OF IOKANAAN Behold! the Lord hath come. The Son of Man is at hand. The centaurs have hidden themselves in the rivers, and the nymphs have left the rivers, and are lying beneath the leaves in the forests.
先知约翰的声音：看啊！主来了。人之子来了。半人马已经躲到了河里，仙女们则离开了河流，躲藏到了树林的树叶底下。
SALOME Who was that who cried out?
莎乐美：谁在那里叫喊？
SECOND SOLDIER The prophet, Princess.
士兵二：是先知，公主殿下。
SALOME Ah, the prophet! He of whom the Tetrarch is afraid?
莎乐美：啊，是那个先知！就是陛下害怕的那个？
SECOND SOLDIER We know nothing of that, Princess. It was the prophet Iokanaan who cried out.
士兵二：我们一点也不知情，公主殿下。叫喊的是先知约翰。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Is it your pleasure that I bid them bring your litter, Princess? The night is fair in the garden.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下，您是否愿意我让他们把您的轿子抬来？花园里，夜空美丽。
SALOME He says terrible things about my mother, does he not?
莎乐美：他说了些关于我母亲的可怕事情，是不是？
SECOND SOLDIER We never understand what he says, Princess.
士兵二：我们一向都听不懂他说的话，公主殿下。
SALOME Yes; he says terrible things about her.
莎乐美：是的，他讲了一些关于我母亲的可怕的事情。
(Enter a Slave. )
（进来了一个奴仆。）
THE SLAVE Princess, the Tetrarch prays you to return to the feast.
奴仆：公主殿下，陛下请您回宴会。
SALOME I will not return.
莎乐美：我不会回去的。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Pardon me, Princess, but if you return not some misfortune may happen.
年轻的叙利亚军官：请您原谅，公主殿下，但是如果您不回去的话，可能就会发生不幸的事情了。
SALOME Is he an old man, this prophet?
莎乐美：这个先知是一位老人吗？
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Princess, it were better to return. Suffer me to lead you in.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下，您最好回去。请允许我带您进宴会厅。
SALOME This prophet... is he an old man?
莎乐美：这个先知……他是一位老人吗？
FIRST SOLDIER No, Princess, he is quite young.
士兵一：不，公主殿下，他非常年轻。
SECOND SOLDIER One cannot be sure. There are those who say that he is Elias.
士兵二：大家也不清楚。有人说他是伊莱亚斯。
SALOME Who is Elias?
莎乐美：谁是伊莱亚斯？
SECOND SOLDIER A prophet of this country in bygone days, Princess.
士兵二：是这个国家过去的一位先知，公主殿下。
THE SLAVE What answer may I give the Tetrarch from the Princess?
奴仆：关于公主，我该怎么回答陛下？
THE VOICE OF IOKANAAN Rejoice not, O land of Palestine, because the rod of him who smote thee is broken. For from the seed of the serpent shall come a basilisk, and that which is born of it shall devour the birds.
先知约翰的声音：莫要深感欣喜，巴勒斯坦的土地啊，因为鞭打你的棍棒折了。因为从毒蛇的种子中将孵化出蛇怪，并且它一出世就会吞食掉所有的飞鸟。
SALOME What a strange voice! I would speak with him.
莎乐美：多么奇怪的声音啊！我要和他说话。
FIRST SOLDIER I fear it may not be, Princess. The Tetrarch does not suffer any one to speak with him. He has even forbidden the high priest to speak with him.
士兵一：那恐怕不行，公主殿下。陛下不让任何人和他说话。他甚至禁止大祭司和他说话。
SALOME I desire to speak with him.
莎乐美：我想和他说话。
FIRST SOLDIER It is impossible, Princess.
士兵一：这是不可能的，公主殿下。
SALOME I will speak with him.
莎乐美：我就要和他说话。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Would it not be better to return to the banquet?
年轻的叙利亚军官：您是不是回到宴会比较好？
SALOME Bring forth this prophet.
莎乐美：把先知带过来。
(Exit the Slave. )
（奴仆出去了。）
FIRST SOLDIER We dare not, Princess.
士兵一：我们可不敢，公主殿下。
SALOME (Approaching the cistern and looking down into it. ) How black it is, down there! It must be terrible to be in so black a hole! It is like a tomb....
莎乐美：（靠近蓄水池，向下看。）那下面是多么昏暗啊！在如此黑暗的洞穴里肯定很糟糕！它就像坟墓一样……
(To the soldiers. ) Did you not hear me? Bring out the prophet. I would look on him.
（冲着士兵说。）你没听见我说的话吗？把先知带来。我会看好他的。
SECOND SOLDIER Princess, I beg you, do not require this of us.
士兵二：公主殿下，求您了，不要命令我们这么做。
SALOME You are making me wait upon your pleasure.
莎乐美：你让我等着你就高兴了吗？
FIRST SOLDIER Princess, our lives belong to you, but we cannot do what you have asked of us. And indeed, it is not of us that you should ask this thing.
士兵一：公主殿下，我们的生命在您手中，但我们不能照您吩咐的去做。事实上，这件事情您不应该来问我们。
SALOME (Looking at the young Syrian. ) Ah!
莎乐美：（看着那位年轻的叙利亚军官。）啊！
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS Oh! what is going to happen? I am sure that something terrible will happen.
希罗底的侍从：噢！将会发生什么？我确定将要发生一些可怕的事情。
SALOME (Going up to the young Syrian. ) Thou wilt do this thing for me, wilt. Thou not, Narraboth? Thou wilt do this thing for me. I have ever been kind towards thee. Thou wilt do it for me. I would but look at him, this strange prophet. Men have talked so much of him. Often I have heard the Tetrarch talk of him. I think he is afraid of him, the Tetrarch. Art thou, even thou, also afraid of him, Narraboth?
莎乐美：（朝年轻的叙利亚军官走去。）你会为我做这件事的，对吗？你不会这样做吗，奈拉伯斯？你会为我这么做的。我以前对你一直很好。你会为我这么做的。我就是看看他，看看这位奇怪的先知。人们谈论他谈论得太多了。我经常听到陛下谈论他。我认为陛下怕他。你怕他吗？难道连你也怕他吗，奈拉伯斯？
THE YOUNG SYRIAN I fear him not, Princess; there is no man I fear. But the Tetrarch has formally forbidden that any man should raise the cover of this well.
年轻的叙利亚军官：我并不怕他，公主殿下；我不怕任何人。但是陛下正式禁止过，说任何人不得打开这座蓄水池的封盖。
SALOME Thou wilt do this thing for me, Narraboth, and to—morrow when I pass in my litter beneath the gateway of the idol—sellers I will let fall for thee a little flower, a little green flower.
莎乐美：你会为我做这件事情的，奈拉伯斯，明天当我乘坐轿子从大门下经过的时候，我会抛给你一朵小花，一朵绿色的小花。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Princess, I cannot, I cannot.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下，我不能这么做，我不能。
SALOME (Smiling. ) Thou wilt do this thing for me, Narraboth. Thou knowest that thou wilt do this thing for me.
莎乐美：（微笑着。）你会为我做这件事情的，奈拉伯斯。你知道你会为我做这件事情的。
And on the morrow when I shall pass in my litter by the bridge of the idol—buyers, I will look at thee through the muslin veils, I will look at thee, Narraboth, it may be I will smile at thee. Look at me, Narraboth, look at me. Ah! thou knowest that thou wilt do what I ask of thee. Thou knowest it.... I know that thou wilt do this thing.
明天当我乘坐轿子从桥上经过的时候，我会隔着薄纱看着你，我会看着你，奈拉伯斯，也许我还会对着你微笑。看着我，奈拉伯斯，看着我。啊！你知道你会照我说的去做。你知道你会……我知道你会做这件事。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN (Signing to the third soldier. ) Let the prophet come forth.... The Princess Salome desires to see him.
年轻的叙利亚军官：（朝士兵三打了个手势。）把先知带过来……莎乐美公主想要见他。
SALOME Ah!
莎乐美：啊！
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS Oh! How strange the moon looks! Like the hand of a dead woman who is seeking to cover herself with a shroud.
希罗底的侍从：哦！月亮看上去真奇怪啊！就像是死了的女人的手正在寻找遮盖她尸体的裹尸布。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN She has a strange aspect! She is like a little princess, whose eyes are eyes of amber.
年轻的叙利亚军官：她面貌怪异。她就像是一位有着琥珀色眼睛的小公主。
Through the clouds of muslin she is smiling like a little princess. (The prophet comes out of the cistern. Salome looks at him and steps slowly back. )
透过层层薄纱般的云彩，她笑得就像一位小公主。（先知从蓄水池里出来了。莎乐美看到了他，缓缓后退了几步。）
IOKANAAN Where is he whose cup of abominations is now full? Where is he, who in a robe of silver shall one day die in the face of all the people?
约翰：那个杯中充满了憎恨酒水的人在哪里？那个身穿银袍、即将当众死亡的人在哪里？
Bid him come forth, that he may hear the voice of him who hath cried in the waste places and in the houses of kings.
让他过来，他也许会听到人们在荒野里以及在皇宫里呼喊的声音。
SALOME Of whom is he speaking?
莎乐美：他在说谁？
THE YOUNG SYRIAN No one can tell, Princess.
年轻的叙利亚军官：没有人能知道，公主殿下。
IOKANAAN Where is she who saw the images of men painted on the walls, even the images of the Chaldaeans painted with colours, and gave herself up unto the lust of her eyes, and sent ambassadors into the land of Chaldaean?
约翰：那个看见墙上的男人画像的女人在哪儿？她看见了彩色的迦勒底人画像，并且屈服于眼睛所带来的欲望，向迦勒底派出了使者。
SALOME It is of my mother that he is speaking.
莎乐美：他是在说我的母亲。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Oh no, Princess.
年轻的叙利亚军官：哦，不是的，公主殿下。
SALOME Yes: it is of my mother that he is speaking.
莎乐美：是的，他是在说我的母亲。
IOKANAAN Where is she who gave herself unto the Captains of Assyria, who have baldricks on their loins, and crowns of many colours on their heads?
约翰：那个委身于腰系饰带、头戴五彩王冠的亚述人首领的女人在哪里？
Where is she who hath given herself to the young men of the Egyptians, who are clothed in fine linen and hyacinth, whose shields are of gold, whose helmets are of silver, whose bodies are mighty? Go, bid her rise up from the bed of her abominations, from the bed of her incestuousness, that she may hear the words of him who prepareth the way of the Lord, that she may repent her of her iniquities.
那个委身于身穿精致紫色麻衣、手持金色盾牌、头戴银色头盔、身体强壮的年轻埃及人的女人在哪里？让她从罪恶之床中起来，从乱伦之床中起来，这样她也许会听到为上帝铺路的人的声音，也许会从自己的罪恶中醒悟过来。
Though she will not repent, but will stick fast in her abominations, go bid her come, for the fan of the Lord is in His hand.
尽管她不会醒悟，只会更加深陷在自己的罪恶里。让她过来，因为上帝的扇子掌握在他的手里。
SALOME Ah, but he is terrible, he is terrible!
莎乐美：啊，但是他很恐怖，他很吓人！
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Do not stay here, Princess, I beseech you.
年轻的叙利亚军官：不要呆在这儿，公主殿下，我恳求您。
SALOME It is his eyes above all that are terrible.
莎乐美：他的眼睛最可怕。
They are like black holes burned by torches in a tapestry of Tyre. They are like the black caverns where the dragons live, the black caverns of Egypt in which the dragons make their lairs.
它们就像是蒂尔城幕布上被火把烧出来的黑窟窿。它们就像是龙居住的黑暗的洞穴，就像是埃及龙繁衍生息的深洞。
They are like black lakes troubled by fantastic moons.... Do you think he will speak again?
它们就像是被奇幻的月亮搅动了的黑色湖水。你认为他会再说一次吗？
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Do not stay here, Princess. I pray you do not stay here.
年轻的叙利亚军官：不要呆在这里，公主殿下。我请求您不要呆在这里。
SALOME How wasted he is! He is like a thin ivory statue. He is like an image of silver. I am sure he is chaste, as the moon is. He is like a moonbeam, like a shaft of silver. His flesh must be very cold, cold as ivory.... I would look closer at him.
莎乐美：他是多么颓废啊！他就像是一尊瘦削的乳白色雕塑。他就像是一幅银色的画像。我确信他像月亮一般贞洁。他就像是月光，像是银色的箭杆。他的血肉一定很冰冷，像象牙一样冰冷……我要再近一些看看他。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN No, no, Princess!
年轻的叙利亚军官：不，不行，公主殿下。
SALOME I must look at him closer.
莎乐美：我一定要更近距离地看看他。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Princess! Princess!
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下！公主殿下！
IOKANAAN Who is this woman who is looking at me? I will not have her look at me. Wherefore doth she look at me, with her golden eyes, under her gilded eyelids? I know not who she is. I do not desire to know who she is. Bid her begone, it is not to her that I would speak.
约翰：这个正看着我的女人是谁？我是不会让她看着我的。为什么在那金色的眼睑下，她用那双金色的眼睛看着我？我不知道她是谁。我也不想知道她是谁。让她走，我不会跟她说什么。
SALOME I am Salome, daughter of Herodias, Princess of Judaea.
莎乐美：我是希罗底王后的女儿莎乐美，朱迪亚的公主。
IOKANAAN Back! daughter of Babylon! Come not near the chosen of the Lord. Thy mother hath filled the earth with the wine of her iniquities, and the cry of her sinning hath come up even to the ears of God.
约翰：别过来！巴比伦的女儿！不要靠近上帝挑选出来的人。你母亲已经将不义之酒填满了大地，她的罪过已经传到了上帝的耳朵里。
SALOME Speak again, Iokanaan. Thy voice is as music to mine ear.
莎乐美：你再说一遍，约翰。你的声音对我来说就像音乐一般。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Princess! Princess! Princess!
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下！公主殿下！公主殿下！
SALOME Speak again! Speak again, Iokanaan, and tell me what I must do.
莎乐美：再说一遍！再说一遍，约翰，告诉我我该做些什么。
IOKANAAN Daughter of Sodom, come not near me! But cover thy face with a veil, and scatter ashes upon thine head, and get thee to the desert, and seek out the Son of Man.
约翰：所多玛的女儿，不要靠近我！把你的脸用面纱遮住，把灰烬撒到头上，你到达沙漠之后去寻找人之子。
SALOME Who is he, the Son of Man? Is he as beautiful as thou art, Iokanaan?
莎乐美：人之子是谁？他和你一样美丽吗，约翰？
IOKANAAN Get thee behind me! I hear in the palace the beating of the wings of the angel of death.
约翰：到我后边来！我听到宫殿里死亡天使拍打翅膀的声音了。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Princess, I beseech thee to go within.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下，我请求您回去。
IOKANAAN Angel of the Lord God, what dost thou here with thy sword? Whom seekest thou in this palace? The day of him who shall die in a robe of silver has not yet come.
约翰：上帝的天使，你拿着剑来这里干什么？你到这个宫殿里来找谁？那位穿着银色长袍的人的死期还没有到来。
SALOME Iokanaan!
莎乐美：约翰！
IOKANAAN Who speaketh?
约翰：谁在说话？
SALOME
莎乐美：
I am amorous of thy body, Iokanaan! Thy body is white, like the lilies of a field that the mower hath never mowed. Thy body is white like the snows that lie on the mountains of Judaea, and come down into the valleys. The roses in the garden of the Queen of Arabia are not so white as thy body. Neither the roses of the garden of the Queen of Arabia, the garden of spices of the Queen of Arabia, nor the feet of the dawn when they light on the leaves, nor the breast of the moon when she lies on the breast of the sea.... There is nothing in the world so white as thy body. Suffer me to touch thy body.
我很爱慕你的身体，约翰！你身体雪白，就像是田野里从未被人铲割过的百合。你的身体白得就像是从朱迪亚山上坠落到山谷的白雪一样。即使是阿拉伯女王花园里的玫瑰也不及你的身体雪白。不论是阿拉伯女王花园里的玫瑰，阿拉伯女王的香料花园，还是黎明时照耀在树叶上的晨辉，或是海上升起的皎洁的明月……世界上没有什么东西能和你的身体一样白。请让我触摸一下你的身体。
IOKANAAN Back! daughter of Babylon! By woman came evil into the world. Speak not to me. I will not listen to thee. I listen but to the voice of the Lord God.
约翰：别过来！巴比伦的女儿！女人会为这世界带来邪恶。不要和我说话。我不会听你讲。我只听上帝的话。
SALOME Thy body is hideous. It is like the body of a leper. It is like a plastered wall, where vipers have crawled; like a plastered wall where the scorpions have made their nest. It is like a whited sepulchre, full of loathsome things. It is horrible, thy body is horrible. It is of thy hair that I am enamoured, Iokanaan. Thy hair is like clusters of grapes, like the clusters of black grapes that hang from the vine—trees of Edom in the land of the Edomites.
莎乐美：你的身体是多么丑陋。就像是麻风病人的身体。它就像是一堵爬满毒蛇的灰泥墙；像是一堵蝎子筑巢的灰泥墙。它就像是一座充满脏污的白色坟墓。太可怕了，你的身体太可怕了。我迷恋的是你的头发，约翰。你的头发就像是一串串葡萄，就像是一串串挂在以东葡萄藤上的黑葡萄。
Thy hair is like the cedars of Lebanon, like the great cedars of Lebanon that give their shade to the lions and to the robbers who would hide them by day. The long black nights, when the moon hides her face, when the stars are afraid, are not so black as thy hair. The silence that dwells in the forest is not so black. There is nothing in the world that is so black as thy hair....
你的头发就像是黎巴嫩的雪松，可以让狮子在树影下栖息，让强盗在白天隐藏他们的行踪。即使是没有月亮出没、没有星星闪耀的漫长的黑夜，也不及你的头发黑。身林里的寂静也没有这么黑。世界上再没有比你的头发更黑的东西了……
Suffer me to touch thy hair.
请让我触摸你的头发。
IOKANAAN Back, daughter of Sodom! Touch me not. Profane not the temple of the Lord God.
约翰：别过来，所多玛的女儿！不要碰我。不要亵渎上帝的神殿。
SALOME Thy hair is horrible. It is covered with mire and dust. It is like a crown of thorns placed on thy head. It is like a knot of serpents coiled round thy neck. I love not thy hair....
莎乐美：你的头发真可怕。你的头发上满是泥土。就好像有很多刺长在你的头上。就好像有很多毒蛇盘踞在你的脖子上。我不喜欢你的头发……
It is thy mouth that I desire, Iokanaan. Thy mouth is like a band of scarlet on a tower of ivory. It is like a pomegranate cut in twain with a knife of ivory. The pomegranate flowers that blossom in the gardens of Tyre, and are redder than roses, are not so red. The red blasts of trumpets that herald the approach of kings, and make afraid the enemy, are not so red. Thy mouth is redder than the feet of those who tread the wine in the wine—press. It is redder than the feet of the doves who inhabit the temples and are fed by the priests. It is redder than the feet of him who cometh from a forest where he hath slain a lion, and seen gilded tigers. Thy Mouth is like a branch of coral that fishers have found in the twilight of the sea, the coral that they keep for the kings!... It is like the vermilion that the Moahites find in the mines of Moab, the vermilion that the kings take from them. It is like the bow of the King of the Persians, that is painted with vermilion, and is tipped with coral. There is nothing in the world so red as thy mouth....
我渴望的是你的嘴，约翰。你的嘴巴就像是乳白色毛巾上的一片猩红。它就像是用象牙刀切成两半的石榴。即便是开在蒂尔花园里、比玫瑰还红的石榴花，也不及它红。为国王开道的红色号角声纵然令敌人胆寒，也不及它红。你的嘴唇比那些在酿酒桶里踩过葡萄酒的脚还要红。你的嘴唇比那些栖息在庙宇里被牧师喂养的鸽子的脚还要红。你的嘴唇比从森林里走出来的，看过金虎、杀过狮子的猎人的脚还要红。你的嘴唇就像是渔夫在黎明的海上找到的那串珊瑚，进贡给国王的珊瑚！……你的嘴唇就像是摩押人从他们的矿井里发现的朱砂，那些被国王掠夺的朱砂。它就像是波斯国王涂有朱砂、尖端镶有珊瑚的弓。世界上再没有比你的嘴唇更红的东西了。
Suffer me to kiss thy mouth.
请让我亲吻你的嘴唇吧。
IOKANAAN Never! daughter of Babylon! Daughter of Sodom! Never!
约翰：想都别想！巴比伦的女儿！所多玛的女儿！想都别想！
SALOME I will kiss thy mouth, Iokanaan. I will kiss thy mouth.
莎乐美：我会亲吻你的嘴唇，约翰。我会亲吻你的嘴唇。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Princess, Princess, thou who art like a garden of myrrh, thou who art the dove of all doves, look not at this man, look not at him! Do not speak such words to him. I cannot endure it... Princess, do not speak these things.
年轻的叙利亚军官：公主殿下，公主殿下，您就像是花园之香，您就像是万鸽之王，别再看这个人，别再看他！不要这么说他。我不能容忍你那么说他……公主殿下，不要说这些。
SAL0ME I will kiss thy mouth, Iokanaan.
莎乐美：我会亲吻你的嘴唇，约翰。
THE YOUNG SYRIAN Ah! (He kills himself, and falls between Salome and lokanaan. )
年轻的叙利亚军官：啊！（他自杀了，倒在莎乐美和约翰中间。）
THE PAGE OF HERODIAS The young Syrian has slain himself! The young captain has slain himself! He has slain himself who was my friend! I gave him a little box of perfumes and ear—rings wrought in silver, and now he has killed himself! Ah, did he not say that some misfortune would happen? I, too, said it, and it has come to pass. Well I knew that the moon was seeking a dead thing, but I knew not that it was he whom she sought. Ah! why did I not hide him from the moon? If I had hidden him in a cavern she would not have seen him.
希罗底的侍从：这个叙利亚青年自杀了！这个年轻的叙利亚军官自杀了！我的朋友亲手杀死了他自己！我给了他一小箱香水和加工的银耳环，现在他自杀了！啊，难道他没说将会发生不幸的事情吗？我也那么说过，现在不幸的事情就发生了。哦，我知道了，月亮正在寻找死亡的生命，但我不知道他就是她要寻找的对象。啊！我为什么不把他藏起来让他免受月光照射呢？如果我把他藏到洞穴里，她就看不到他了。
FIRST SOLDIER Princess, the young captain has just slain himself.
士兵一：公主殿下，年轻的叙利亚军官刚刚自杀了。
SALOME Suffer me to kiss thy mouth, Iokanaan.
莎乐美：请让我亲吻你的嘴唇吧，约翰。
