卷二·第六十一章　逃走的仆人往哪里去了，何时回来

A Fugitive Servant, which way gone, when returne?

逃走的仆人往哪里去了，何时回来？

Judgment upon the Figure beforegoing.

对前面这张盘的判断。

The ascendant, and ☿ in ♒, together with ♂ posited in the ascendant, did signifie the Master of the Servant, who was short of stature, corpulent, of a good complexion, and ruddy, fresh countenance; his fatnesse I conceive from the north latitude of ☿, which was about one degree; as also, that the degrees ascending were in the Termes of ♂, in an ayery Signe, and in the Face or Decanate of ☉, now posited in a watry Signe, and in partill △ to ☽, both in moyst Signes, which argued a flegmatick, full body, &c.

上升与在水瓶的水星，加上位于上升的火星，代表仆人的主人，他身材矮，肥胖，气色好，面色红润鲜亮；他的胖，我认为是由于水星的北纬，约有一度；又因为上升的度数在火星的界里，在一个风象星座，又在太阳的面（即旬）里，而太阳此时位于水象星座，与月亮成精确三分，两者都在湿性星座，这表示一个黏液质的、丰满的身体，等等。

The Significator of the Servant was ♂ peculiarly in this Figure, although many times ☿ shall signifie a fugitive Servant: The Servant was a young Fellow of about nineteen, a well set Fellow, short, big joynted, broad and full faced, dark browne haire, his teeth growing ilfavouredly, a Sun-burnt, obscure complexion, yet the skin of his body cleer.

在这张盘里，仆人的征象星特别是火星，虽然许多时候逃走的仆人由水星代表：这仆人是个十九岁上下的小伙子，体格结实，矮，骨节粗大，脸宽而丰满，深褐色头发，牙齿长得难看，晒黑的、暗沉的气色，但身上的皮肤洁净。

I observed that he went away from his Master the Sunday preceding, at what time the ☽ was in ♊, a Westerne Signe, and that now ♂, the Significator of the Fellow was in the same Signe; as also, that ☿ the common Significator of Servants, was in ♒, a Westerne Signe, but South quarter of Heaven; it is true that ♊ hath some relation to the South quater, and ♒ to the North.

我注意到，他在之前那个星期日离开主人，那时月亮在双子，一个西方星座，而现在小伙子的征象星火星也在同一星座；还有，仆人的通用征象星水星在水瓶，一个西方星座，但在天空的南方象限；诚然，双子与南方象限有些关系，水瓶则与北方有关。

I judged from hence that the Servant went westward at his first departing, and that at the time of the Question, he was West from the querent's house; and this I judged because ♂ was angular, and every way as strong as the ☽, otherwayes I should have judged by the ☽: Forasmuch as ♂ the Significator of the Servant, and ☿ Lord of the ascendant, were suddenly hastening to a △ out of angles, I judged, that within a day or two he should have his Servant againe:

我由此断定，仆人刚出走时是往西去的，问卜时他在问卜者家的西边；我这样断，是因为火星在角宫，各方面都与月亮一样强，否则我就会依月亮来判断：由于仆人的征象星火星与上升主星水星都正从角宫急速趋近成三分，我断主人在一两天内就会把仆人找回来：

I found the ☽ in the second, in her owne house; the Servant being a part of his Master's Estate, I judged from hence also, that the Master should not lose, but recover forthwith his lost Goods; and the rather, for that the ☽ was in the second, and in perfect △ of the ☉ in the eleventh, both of them in the Mediety ascending; the neernesse of ♂ to the degree ascending, made me judge the Servant was not above three or four houses Westward from his Masters house.

我发现月亮在第二宫，在她自己的庙里；仆人是主人家产的一部分，由此我也断主人不会损失，而会立即找回他失去的财物；尤其因为月亮在第二宫，与第十一宫的太阳成精确三分，两者都在上升的那一半天空里；火星离上升的度数很近，使我断仆人在主人家西边不超过三四户人家的地方。

The truth is, that upon Friday following betimes in the morning, he came home, and said he had been at Kingston upon Thames: which if true, then he was full West, or a little to the South, and neer a great Water, viz. the Thames, as ☽ in ♋ did or might signifie.

实际情况是，在随后的星期五一大早，他回家来了，说他去过泰晤士河畔的金斯顿：此话若真，那么他是在正西，或稍偏南，又靠近一片大水，即泰晤士河，正如月亮在巨蟹所表示的，或可能表示的。
