Chapter 6 Kirk O'Field
第6章 柯克·欧菲尔德
I had a new man to help me now.The Earl of Bothwell—a strong，clever man. He was older than me；he was not a boy like Darnley. He worked hard and he could think. He was a good fighter and he was not afraid of other men. Per－haps you are like him, James, my son?
现在，我又有一个人来帮我了。博思韦尔勋爵——一个健壮聪明的男人。他比我大；他不像达恩利那样像个小男孩。他工作努力且会思考。他是个勇士，他不怕别人。或许你像他，詹姆斯，我的儿子？
In January your father，Darnley，was ill in Glasgow.I went to see him, and took him back to Edinburgh. He was unhappy, and afraid of people. He saw enemies behind every door. Poor stupid boy! He said he loved me again. I was angry, but I felt sorry for him, too. He was very ill.
一月份，你的父亲，达恩利在格拉斯加生病了。我去看他，并把他带回爱丁堡。他很不愉快且害怕周围的人。每一扇门后面都有他的仇敌。可怜、愚蠢的男孩！他说他又爱我了。我很生气，但我也觉得对不住他。他病得很重。
"It's not far now, Henry，"I said."You can sleep in the castle."
“现在不远了，亨利，”我说。“你可以睡在城堡里。”
"No, not there, please, Mary!"he said."I don't want to go into the castle. I'm afraid of it!"
“不，我不睡那儿，求求你，玛丽！”他说。“我不想走进城堡。我怕！”
"But where do you want to go?"I asked.
“但是你要去哪儿呢？”我问道。
"Find me a little house outside the town, and stay with me there，"he said."We can be happy there."
“给我在镇外找一间小房子，我们一起呆在那儿，”他说。“我们在那里可以很幸福。”
So I found him a small house called Kirk o'Field，outside Edinburgh. He stayed there, in a room upstairs, and sometimes I slept in a room downstairs. Darnley was often afraid，and I visited him every day. Slowly, he got better.
于是，我在爱丁堡外给他找了一间叫柯克·欧菲尔德的小屋。他住在那边楼上的一间小房间里，而我有时候睡在楼下的房间里。达恩利经常感到恐惧。我每天都去看望他。渐渐地，他好转起来了。
On Sunday，9th February, there was a big wedding in Ed－inburgh. After the wedding, Bothwell and I walked out to Kirk o'Field to see Darnley and talk to him. Everyone sang，and laughed, and was very happy.
2月9日，星期日，在爱丁堡有一个大型的婚礼。婚礼结束后，我和博思韦尔一起出来去柯克·欧菲尔德看望达恩利，陪他聊天。人们欢歌笑语，非常快乐。
At ten o'clock I was tired."Good night, my lords，"I said."I'm going downstairs to bed."
十点钟了，我感到很累。“晚安，我的丈夫，我的勋爵，”我说道。“我下楼去睡了。”
Lord Bothwell put his hand on my arm."Your Majesty，"he said."You can't sleep here now.Don't you remember?People are dancing and singing in town tonight—everyone wants you to go."
博思韦尔勋爵抓住我的胳膊。“陛下，”他说。“现在你不能睡这儿。你难道忘了？今晚人们在镇上载歌载舞——每个人都想你去。”
"Oh, yes. I forgot，"I said."Of course, people want to see me there. So, good night, Henry. Sleep well."
“噢，对，我忘了，”我说。“当然，人们想在那儿见到我。好吧，晚安，亨利，睡个好觉。”
Darnley was very unhappy."Please, Mary my love, don't go!"he said."Don't leave me here!"
达恩利很不高兴。“玛丽，我亲爱的，请不要走！”他说。“不要留下我一人在这里！”
But I did not love him now. I remembered the night when Riccio died.So I smiled and said，"Good night，Henry.Be a man now.don't be afraid of the dark."
可是我现在不爱他了。我想起里奇奥被杀的那一晚。于是我笑着说，“晚安，亨利。现在要像个男子汉。不要害怕黑暗。”
Then I went downstairs with Lord Bothwell. Outside the house, we met one of Bothwell's men. He looked afraid, and there was something black on his face and hands.
于是我和博思韦尔勋爵下了楼。在房子外面，我们碰到了一个博思韦尔的人。他看起来很惊慌，脸上和手上沾了些黑乎乎的东西。
"Jesus, man, how dirty you are!"I said."Don't come near me with those hands."
“上帝，你这个人多脏啊！”我说。“手这么脏，不要走近我。”
"No, my lady, of course not，"he said. He looked at Both－well for a minute, and then ran away quickly. I laughed, got on my horse, and forgot about it.
“是，夫人，当然不，”他说。他朝博思韦尔看了一眼，很快就跑开了。我笑了，我骑上我的马，就把这事给忘了。
I tell you before God, James, I did not kill your father.It was not me. I knew nothing about it—nothing!
在上帝面前，詹姆斯，我告诉你，我没有杀死你的父亲。不是我杀的。我对此一无所知——一点儿也不知道！
I sang and danced in town, and then went to bed in Edin－burgh Castle. Then, at two o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden noise—a very big BANG! Everybody heard it all through the town.
我在镇上又唱又跳，然后就睡在了爱丁堡城里。早晨两点钟，突然传来了呼的一声巨响！整个镇上的人都听见了。
