I am sorry, James.Forgive me.Sometimes I get very angry.It is difficult not to be angry, when you are in prison for twenty years.
我很抱歉，詹姆斯。原諒我。有時候我很憤怒。當你在監獄呆了20年之久，不生氣是很難的。
Elizabeth didn't know what to do.Sometimes she believed Moray, sometimes she didn't.She was afraid to kill me, because I was a Queen. She was afraid to let me go free, bcause I have friends in England. The English Catholics want me to be Queen of England, not her. And she is a woman with no husband and no son, so she hates me, too.
伊麗莎白不知道該怎樣做。她有時相信馬里，有時候不。她不敢殺我，因為我是個女王。她不敢讓我獲得自由是因為我在英格蘭有朋友。英格蘭天主教教徒想讓我成為英格蘭女王，而不是她。再說她是個沒有丈夫沒有兒子的女人，因此她也恨我。
Sometimes the English Catholics write to me and ask me for help, and sometimes I write to them.Sometimes Elizabeth's men find these letters. The English Protestants want to kill me because of these letters."You are a wicked woman!"they say："You killed your husband, Darnley, and now you want to kill our Queen Elizabeth.You're going to die!"
有時英格蘭的天主教教徒們給我寫信詢問我是否需要幫助，有時我也寫信給他們。有時伊麗莎白的人發現了這些書信。英格蘭的新教教徒們想殺我就是因為這些書信。“你是個不道德的女人！”他們說：“你殺死了自己的丈夫，達恩利，而現在你又想殺我們的女王伊麗莎白。你死期將至了。”
"I did not kill my husband，"I said."And when l came to England, I did not want to kill your Queen. I asked her for help—I wanted to go back to Scotand!But，my lords，she put me in prison for twenty years! Twenty years, my lords!I want to be free—don't you understand that? when men write to me and try to help me, then yes, sometimes I write back!Why not? Is that wicked, do you think?"
“我沒有殺害我丈夫，”我說，“而且當我來到英格蘭時，我并沒有想殺害你們的女王。我來請求她的幫助——我想回到蘇格蘭！但是，我的勛爵們，她把我關進了監獄整整20年！ 20年啊！我的勛爵們！我要自由——難道你們不理解嗎？人們給我寫信試圖想幫助我，的確是的，有時我也回信！為什么不呢？你們認為那很不道德嗎？”
They didn't listen. Of course not. They want to kill me.And so they wrote to Queen Elizabeth. And now I sit here, in Fotheringhay Castle，and wait for her to answer. I do not want to die, James my son, but I do not want to live all my life in an English prison. I am old, and tired of life. Think well of me, James, my son, and…
他們不聽。當然不聽了。他們想殺我。因此他們給伊麗莎白女王寫信。現在我坐在這里，在福瑟臨黑城堡里，等待她的答復。我不想死，詹姆斯我的兒子，但是我也不想一輩子呆在英格蘭監獄里。我老了，對生活也厭倦了。多想一想我吧，詹姆斯，我的兒子，并且……
