He went, and did it.All day I waited in my rooms, and listened. Then, at one o'clock in the morning, Darnley and I went quietly down the stairs behind the castle.Some of my friends were there, with horses for us. Quickly, we rode away into the night.
他去了，也這樣做了。一整天我等在自己的房間里聽動(dòng)靜。在清晨1點(diǎn)鐘，達(dá)恩利和我悄悄地從城堡后的樓梯下來(lái)。我的一些朋友們已牽了一些馬等在那里。很快地，我們騎馬消失在夜幕里。
That was a very bad night. It was dark and cold. I was ill，and Darnley was afraid."Come on!"he said."Ride faster，woman! You're too slow!"
那是個(gè)很糟糕的夜晚。外面又黑又冷。我生病了，達(dá)恩利很害怕。“快點(diǎn)！”他說(shuō)。“騎得快點(diǎn)，女人，你太慢了！”
But I was pregnant, and it was cold and dark. We rode for five hours in the rain."I can't, Henry!"I said."I'm ill.Think of the baby! I don't want it to die!"
可我是個(gè)孕婦，外面又冷又黑。我們?cè)谟曛序T了五個(gè)小時(shí)?！拔也荒?，亨利！”我說(shuō)。“我病了。為孩子想一想！我不想讓它死掉！”
"Why not?"he said. "We can always make another one!"
“為什么不呢？”他說(shuō)?！拔覀兛梢栽僖粋€(gè)！”
I'm sorry, but it is true. Your father said things like that，James.Then he rode away in front of me, into the dark. I rode slowly behind, with my good woman, Bess Curle.
我很抱歉，但那是真的。你父親是那樣說(shuō)的，詹姆斯。隨后，他遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地騎在了我前面，消失在夜色里。我和我的好伙伴貝斯·柯爾在后面慢慢地騎著。
In the morning we arrived at Dunbar Castle. Darnley slept，and I wrote letters to my friends. Next day Lord Bothwell came to help me. I liked him—he was a good, strong man.Soon I had an army of 8，000 men. Bothwell and I rode back to Edinburgh with the army. Lord Ruthven died, and some of his friends ran away. But the Earl of Moray stayed.
早晨我們到了唐巴爾城堡。達(dá)恩利睡著了，我給我的朋友寫信。第二天，博思韋爾勛爵來(lái)幫助我。我喜歡他——他是個(gè)善良、健壯的男人。不久，我就擁有了一支八千士兵的軍隊(duì)。博思韋爾和我率領(lǐng)著軍隊(duì)驅(qū)馬回到愛丁堡。結(jié)果魯斯溫勛爵死了，他的一些朋友逃走了。可馬里伯爵留了下來(lái)。
All that summer I ruled the country, and waited for the baby. My husband stayed outside my rooms. I did not want to see him. No one did. Perhaps he drank with his friends. I don't know.
整個(gè)夏季我治理著這個(gè)國(guó)家，并等待著孩子的降生。我的丈夫不在我房間。我不想見到他。沒(méi)有人想見到他?；蛟S他和他的朋友在一起喝酒。我不知道。
And then, on 19th June, in a small room in Edinburgh Castle, my baby was born. It took a long time, but at last you were in my arms, James, my son.
不久以后，6月19日，在愛丁堡的一間小房間里，我的孩子出生了。詹姆斯，我的兒子，生你費(fèi)了好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，但最終，你還是躺在我懷抱里了。
I asked your father to come in."My Lord Henry，"I said."This is our baby! Look at him, my Lord. Take him in your arms. He is your son—isn't he beautiful?"
我把你父親叫進(jìn)來(lái)?！昂嗬?，我的丈夫，”我說(shuō)?！斑@是我們的孩子！看著他吧，我的丈夫。抱抱他，他是你的兒子——難道他不漂亮嗎？”
But your father did not love me, James. Very often, after you were born, he slept with other women. I know that because he talked to everyone about it. I think he wanted people to know. And I am sorry, but I do not think he loved you，James. When I took you to church and gave you your name，he did not come. He wasn't interested.
可是你的父親不愛我，詹姆斯。在你出生之后，他經(jīng)常和別的女人睡覺。我知道這個(gè)是因?yàn)樗麑?duì)誰(shuí)都這么說(shuō)。我想他是想讓人們都知道。我很抱歉，可我認(rèn)為他并不愛你，詹姆斯。當(dāng)我?guī)闳ソ烫媒o你取名字時(shí)，他沒(méi)來(lái)，他沒(méi)有興趣。
But because of him, David Riccio was dead. I could never forget that.Never.
可就是因?yàn)樗?，達(dá)維·里奇奧死了。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這一點(diǎn)，永遠(yuǎn)不！
