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.
正是在此时,玛丽失去了一切:失去了人身自由,她作为母亲那无价的政治资本——因为和波斯维尔的关系而被玷污以至丧失了。失去苏格兰,一着不慎满盘皆输。
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.
问题在于——如果她有着伊丽莎白一半的政治智慧这,一切原本是可以避免的。她就会远离波斯维尔,而不是嫁给他。
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.
当时她本可以严惩谋杀达恩利的那些人,表示自己对这场罪行非常震惊,从而在苏格兰人心目中成为一名再度受害的母亲。然而,这位母亲却任自己沦落成一位妓女。
