This had Zarathustra said to his heart when the sun stood at noon-tide.
當查拉圖斯特拉用發自肺腑的情感說完這些話的時候，太陽已經正午了。
Then he looked inquiringly aloft, for he heard above him the sharp call of a bird. And behold!
然后，他用充滿好奇的神情看向高處，因為他聽到他的頭頂有刺耳的鳥叫聲。
An eagle swept through the air in wide circles, and on it hung a serpent, not like a prey, but like a friend: for it kept itself coiled round the eagle's neck.
快看！一只老鷹在空中畫了一個大圈子，在那上面懸掛著一條蛇，他看起來不像是獵物，而更像是一位朋友：因為老鷹把這條蛇纏繞在了他的脖子上。
"They are mine animals," said Zarathustra, and rejoiced in his heart.
“他們都是我的動物，”查拉圖斯特拉說道，他的內心非常歡快。
"The proudest animal under the sun, and the wisest animal under the sun -- they have come out to reconnoitre.
“在太陽之下最值得驕傲的動物以及在太陽之下最聰明的動物--他們都跑出來一探究竟。
They want to know whether Zarathustra still liveth. Verily, do I still live?
他們想知道查拉圖斯特拉是否想繼續活著。說真的，我還有必要繼續活著嗎？
More dangerous have I found it among men than among animals; in dangerous paths goeth Zarathustra. Let mine animals lead me!
我發現人類要比動物們更加具有危險性；查拉圖斯特拉在危險的道路上行走。讓我的動物們指引我吧！”
When Zarathustra had said this, he remembered the words of the saint in the forest. Then he sighed and spake thus to his heart:
當查拉圖斯特拉說完這些話的時候，他想起了森林中的圣人所說過的話。然后他嘆了口氣，用真摯的情感說道：
"Would that I were wiser! Would that I were wise from the very heart, like my serpent!
“我希望讓自己變得更加智慧一些！我真切地希望自己可以變得更加聰明一些。就像我的毒蛇一樣！
But I am asking the impossible. Therefore do I ask my pride to go always with my wisdom!
但是，我所希望的是不可能實現的愿望。因此，我請求我的驕傲陪伴著我的智慧！
And if my wisdom should some day forsake me: alas! it loveth to fly away! May my pride then fly with my folly!"
就好像，我的智慧在某一天會拋棄我，唉！它非常渴望遠走高飛！那么，我愿我的驕傲陪伴著我的愚蠢一起遠走高飛！”
Thus began Zarathustra's down-going.
因此，查拉圖斯特拉開始下山。
