Scene I.A seaport in Cyprus.An open place near the quay Enter Montano and two Gentlemen. Mont.What from the cape can you discern at sea? Ist Gentleman.Nothing at all.It is a high,wrought flood; I cannot 'twixt the heaven and the main, Descry a sail. Mont.Methinks,the wind hath spoke aloud at land; A fuller blast ne'er shook our battlements. If it hath ruffian'd so upon the sea, What ribs of oak,when mountains melt on them, Can hold the mortise?What shall we hear of this? 2nd Gentleman.A segregation of the Turkish fleet. For do but stand upon the foaming shore, The chidden billow seems to pelt the clouds; The wind-shaked surge,with high and monstrous main, Seems to cast water on the burning bear, And quench the guards of the ever-fixed pole I never did like molestations view On the enchafed flood. ·062· 第一场塞浦路斯岛海口一市镇 码头附近的广场 ①quay[ki的h.码头 蒙塔诺及二绅士上。 ②cape[keip]h.岬，（海）角 蒙塔诺 你从那海岬望出去，看见海里有什么船只没 有？ 甲绅一点望不见。波浪很高，在海天之间，我看不见 ③descry[di'skrai]望见， 看到 一片船帆。 蒙塔诺风在陆地上吹得很厉害：从来不曾有这么大的 暴风打击过我们的雉堞。要是它在海上也这么猖 1battlement ['baetlmant]n.

Enter a third Gentleman. 3rd Gentleman.News,lads!our wars are done. The desperate tempest hath so bang'd the Turks, That their designment halts.A noble ship of Venice, Hath seen a grievous wreck and sufferance On most part of their fleet. Mont.How?Is this true? 3rd Gentleman.The ship is here put in. A Veronesa,Michael Cassio, Lieutenant to the warlike Moor,Othello, Is come on shore;the Moor himself at sea. And is in full commission here for Cyprus. Mont.I am glad on't;'tis a worthy Governor. 3rd Gentleman.But this same Cassio,though he speak of comfort, Touching the Turkish loss,yet he looks sadly And prays the Moor be safe;for they were parted With foul and violent tempest. Mont.Pray heavens he be, For I have served him,and the man commands Like a full soldier.Let's to the seaside, As well to see the vessel that's come in As to throw out our eyes for brave Othello, Even till we make the main and the aerial blue, An indistinct regard. 3rd Gentleman.Come,let's do so, For every minute is expectancy Of more arrivance. ·064· 第二幕 蒙塔诺要是土耳其舰队没有避进港里，它们一定沉没 ①embay[im'bei]k把（船 了；这样的风浪是抵御不了的。 驶进港湾（以保护或避 难) 另一绅士上。 丙绅报告消息！小伙子们！咱们的战事已经结束了。 土耳其人遭受这场暴风浪的突击，不得不放弃他们 进攻的计划。一艘从威尼斯来的大船一路上看见他 2designment [di'zainmont] m.打算 们的船只或沉或破，大部分零落不堪。 蒙塔诺啊！这是真的吗？ 丙绅这一艘船已经在这儿进港，是一艘维罗纳造的 船：迈克尔·卡西奥，那勇武的摩尔人奥赛罗的副 将，已经上岸来了：那摩尔人自己还在海上，他是 奉到全权委任，到塞浦路斯这儿来的 蒙塔诺我很高兴，这是一位很有才能的总督。 丙绅可是这个卡西奥说起土耳其的损失，虽然兴高 采烈，同时却满脸愁容，祈祷着那摩尔人的安全， 因为他们是在险恶的大风浪中彼此失散的。 蒙塔诺但愿他平安无恙：因为我曾经在他手下做过 事，知道他在治军用兵这方面，的确是一个大将之 才。来，让我们到海边去！一方面看看新到的船舶， 一方面把我们的眼睛遥望到海天相接的远处，盼候 着勇敢的奥赛罗。 丙绅来，我们去吧：因为每一分钟都会有更多的人到 来。 indistinct Lindis'tinkt]a. 相连的 expectancy [ik'spektansi] n(被)期待 ·065· ACTII Enter Cassio. Cassio.Thanks,you the valiant of this warlike Isle, That so approve the Moor!O,let the heavens Give him defense against the elements, For I have lost him on a dangerous sea. Mont.Is he well shipp'd? Cassio.His bark is stoutly timber'd,and his pilot Of very expert and approved allowance; Therefore my hopes,not surfeited to death, Stand in bold cure. [Within.A sail,a sail,a sail! Enter a fourth Gentleman. Cassio.What noise? 4th Gentleman.The town is empty;on the brow o'the sea Stand ranks of people,and they cry,"A sail!" Cassio.My hopes do shape him for the governor. Guns heard. 2nd Gentleman.They do discharge their shot of courtesy, Our friends at least. Cassio.I pray you,sir,go forth, And give us truth who'tis that is arrived. 2nd Gentleman.I shall. Exit. Mont.But,good lieutenant,is your general wived? Cassio.Most fortunately:he hath achieved a maid That paragons description and wild fame, One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens, And in the essential vesture of creation, Does tire the ingener. Enter the second Gentleman. ·066· 第二幕 卡西奥上。 卡西奥谢谢，你们这座尚武的岛上的各位壮士，因为 你们这样褒奖这位摩尔人。啊！但愿上天帮助他战 胜风浪，因为我是在险恶的波涛之中和他失散的。 蒙塔诺他的船靠得住吗？ 卡西奥船身很是坚固，舵师是一个很有经验的人，所 ①bark[ba:k]n.船 以我还抱着很大的希望。（内呼声：“一条船！一条 ②pilot['pailot]n.舵手，领 航员 船！一条船！”) ③surfeit[sa:fi间g使过度沉 一使者上。 溺于 卡西奥什么声音？ 使者全城的人都出来了：海边站满了人，他们在嚷： “一条船！一条船！” 卡西奥我希望那就是我们新任的总督。（炮声） 乙绅他们在放礼炮了：即使不是总督，至少也是我们 的朋友。 卡西奥先生，请你去看一看，回来告诉我们究竟是什 么人来了。 乙绅我就去。（下） 蒙塔诺可是，副将，你们主帅有没有结过婚？ 卡西奥他的婚姻是再幸福不过的。他娶到了一位女郎， 她的美貌才德，胜过一切的形容和盛大的名誉：笔 墨的赞美不能写尽她的好处，没有一句适当的言语 可以充分表现出她的天赋的优美。 乙绅重上。 ④vesture[vest]i.覆盖物 ·067· ACTII How now?Who has put in? 2nd Gentleman.'Tis one lago,ancient to the general. Cassio.He has had most favorable and happy speed: Tempests themselves,high seas,and howling winds, The gutter'd rocks,and congregated sands, Traitors ensteep'd to clog the guiltless keel, As having sense of beauty,do omit Their mortal natures,letting go safely by The divine Desdemona. Mont.What is she? Cassio.She that I spake of,our great captain's captain, Left in the conduct of the bold lago, Whose footing here anticipates our thoughts A se'nnight's speed.Great Jove,Othello guard, And swell his sail with thine own powerful breath, That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, Make love's quick pants in Desdemona's arms, Give renew'd fire to our extincted spirits, And bring all Cyprus comfort. Enter Desdemona,Emilia,lago,Roderigo and Attendants. O,behold. The riches of the ship is come on shore: Ye men of Cyprus,let her have your knees. Hall to thee,lady?And the grace of heaven, Before,behind thee,and on every hand, Enwheel thee round! Desde.I thank you,valiant Cassio. What tidings can you tell me of my lord? Cassio.He is not yet arrived,nor know I aught But that he's well and will be shortly here. ·068· 第二幕 卡西奥啊！谁到来了？ 乙绅是元帅麾下的一个旗官，名叫伊阿古。 卡西奥他倒一帆风顺地到了。汹涌的怒涛，咆哮的狂 ①howling ['haulig]a.嗥叫 风，埋伏在海底的礁石沙碛，似乎也懂得爱惜美 2 congregate ['kongri.geit]v. 人，收敛了它们凶恶的本性，让神圣的苔丝狄蒙娜 使聚集 安然通过。 ③keel[kiln,(船、艇等的) 龙骨 蒙塔诺她是谁？ 卡西奥就是我刚才说起的，我们大帅的主帅。勇敢的 伊阿古护送她到这儿来，想不到他们路上走得这么 快，比我们的预期还早七天。伟大的乔武啊，保 佑奥赛罗，吹一口你的大力的气息在他的船帆上， 让他高大的桅樯在这儿海港里显现它的雄姿，让他 跳动着一颗恋人的心投进了苔丝狄蒙娜的怀里，重 新燃起我们奄奄欲绝的精神，使整个塞浦路斯充满 了兴奋吧！ 苔丝狄蒙娜、埃米莉亚、伊阿古、罗德利哥 及侍从等上 卡西奥啊！瞧，船上的珍宝到岸上来了，塞浦路斯人 啊，向她下跪吧。祝福你，夫人！愿神灵在你的周 遭呵护你！ 苔丝狄蒙娜谢谢您，英勇的卡西奥。你知道我的丈夫 有什么消息吗？ 卡西奥他还没有到来：我只知道他是平安的，大概不 久就会到来。 ④tidings['taidin☑n.消息， 音讯 L乔武(Jove)是罗马神话中主神朱庇特(Jupiter)的别称 ·069· ACTII Desde.O,but I fear:How lost you company?

Gun heard. 2nd Gentleman.They give their greeting to the citadel; This likewise is a friend. Cassio.See for the news. Exit Gentleman. Good ancient,you are welcome. [To Emilia.] Welcome,mistress. Let it not gall your patience,good lago, That I extend my manners;'tis my breeding That gives me this bold show of courtesy. Kisses her. lago.Sir,would she give you so much of her lips, As of her tongue she oft bestows on me, You'ld have enough. Desde.Alas,she has no speech. lago.In faith,too much; I find it still when I have list to sleep. Marry,before your ladyship I grant, She puts her tongue a little in her heart And chides with thinking. Emilia.You have little cause to say so. lago.Come on,come on.You are pictures out of doors, Bells in your parlors,wild-cats in your kitchens, Saints in your injuries,devils being offended, Players in your housewifery,and housewives in your beds. ·070· 第二幕【 苔丝狄蒙娜啊！可是我怕一你们怎么会分散的？ 卡西奥天风和海水的猛烈的激战，使我们彼此失散。 可是听！有船来了。（内呼声：“一条船！一条船！” 炮声)》 ①citadel['sitodol]n.城堡， 要塞 乙绅他们向我们城上放礼炮了：到来的也是我们的朋 友。 卡西奥你去探看探看。（乙绅下，向伊阿古）老总， 欢迎！（向埃米莉亚）欢迎！嫂子！请你不要恼怒， 好伊阿古，我总得有个礼貌，按我的教养，就得来 这么一个放肆的见面礼。（吻埃米莉亚） 伊阿古老兄，要是她向你掀动她的嘴唇，也像她向我 掀动她的舌头一样，那你就要叫苦不迭了。 苔丝狄蒙娜唉！她又不会多嘴。 伊阿古真的，她太会多嘴了：每次我想睡觉的时候， 总是被她吵得不得安宁。不过，在您夫人的面前， 我还要说一句，她有些话是放在心里说的，人家瞧 她不开口，她却在心里骂人。 ②chide [tfaid]v.责骂 埃米莉亚你没有理由这样冤枉我。 伊阿古得啦，得啦，你们跑出门来像图画，走进房去 像响铃：到了灶下像野猫：设计害人的时候，面子 ③parlor[pa:lbln.客斤 上装得像一个圣徒：人家冒犯了你们，你们便活像 housewifery ['hauswifori; 夜叉：叫你们管家，你们只会一味胡闹，一上床却 hAzifr问n.家务：家政 又十足像个忙碌的主妇。 ·071·
