精彩解說:
It was at this point that Mary lost it——lost control over her own body, lost the priceless political asset of her motherhood, soiled by her relationship with Bothwell. Lost Scotland, lost the whole damned shooting match.
正是在此時,瑪麗失去了一切:失去了人身自由,她作為母親那無價的政治資本——因為和波斯維爾的關系而被玷污以至喪失了。失去蘇格蘭,一著不慎滿盤皆輸。
The thing is, it need never have happened, had she been half the politician, Elizabeth, was. She would have distanced herself from Bothwell, not married him.
問題在于——如果她有著伊麗莎白一半的政治智慧這,一切原本是可以避免的。她就會遠離波斯維爾,而不是嫁給他。
Then she'd have come down like a ton of bricks on Darnley's murderers, professing herself to be shocked at the crime, truly shocked, then presenting herself to the people of Scotland as a doubly victimised mother.Instead, the mother let herself be turned into a whore.
當時她本可以嚴懲謀殺達恩利的那些人,表示自己對這場罪行非常震驚,從而在蘇格蘭人心目中成為一名再度受害的母親。然而,這位母親卻任自己淪落成一位妓女。
