Ⅰ.Of Love - by Francis Bacon
The stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For as to the stage, love
is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much
mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.
舞台上的爱情生活比生活中的爱情要美好得多。因为在舞台上,爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的素材,而在人生中,爱情却常常招来不幸。它有时像那位诱惑人的魔女(1),有时又像那位复仇的女神(2)。
You may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the
memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been
transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great
business, do keep out this weak passion. You must except, nevertheless, Marcus
Antonius, the half partner of the empire of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir
and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but
the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that

你可以看到,一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古人、今人,只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的),没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人。因为伟大的事业只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底亚是例外(3)。前者本性就好色荒淫,然而后者却是严肃多谋的人。这说明爱情不仅会占领开旷坦阔的胸怀,有时也能闯入壁垒森严的心灵假如手御不严的话。
It is a poor saying of Epicurus, Satis magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus; as if
man, made for the contemplation of heaven, and all noble objects, should do
nothing but kneel before a little idol, and make himself a subject, though not of the

mouth (as beasts are), yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes.
埃辟克拉斯(4)曾说过一句笨话:“人生不过是一座大戏台。”似乎本应努力追求高尚事业的人类,却只应象玩偶般地逢场作戏。虽然爱情的奴隶并不同于那班只顾吃喝的禽兽,但毕竟也只是眼目色相的奴隶,而上帝赐人以眼睛本来是有更高尚的用途的。
It is a strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the
nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole, is
comely in nothing but in love. Neither is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath
been well said, that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have
