卷二·第九章·第三部　七曜所主的身体部位

PART III.

第三部

The particular parts and Members of the body, which the Planets generally rule.

诸行星大体上所主管的身体特定部位与器官。

HErein I must either a little be critical, or else part from my loving friend Doctor Reason: I am loth to do the latter, and therefore must make bold with the former.

在这里，我要么得稍加挑剔，要么就得和我亲爱的朋友理性医生分手：后者我不愿意，所以只好在前者上放肆一回。

1. Saturn say Authors, rules in the body of man the Spleen, and there he keeps his Court; the right Eare, the Bladder, the Bones, the Breech, the retentive faculties throughout the body; which what it is, be pleased to see my short Treatise of humane vertues, in the latter of my Ephemerides, for Anno 1651. where you shall finde not onely what it is, but also what it is good for.

一、诸作者说，土星在人体中主管脾，他在那里设朝；还有右耳、膀胱、骨骼、臀部，以及全身的保持之能；那是什么，请看我一六五一年星历书后半所附的《论人的诸能》短论，在那里你不但能找到它是什么，还能找到它有什么用。

Against all this I except but against onely one, which is the Bladder, for that is under the dominion of the Moon.

对这一切，我只反驳一条，就是膀胱，因为它归月亮管辖。

2. They say Jupiter rules the Lungs, Ribbs, Sides, Liver, Veines, Blood, the digestive faculty, the natural vertue of man which he rules, as Lawyers call it, toto & in solid.

二、他们说木星主管肺、肋、胁、肝、静脉、血、消化之能，以及他所主管的人的自然之能——照律师的说法，是全部而彻底地主管。

Besides Authors say, he rules the Arteries and Seed; but how they can bring it about I know not, nor I think themselves neither: why should Jupiter rule the Arteries, when the Sun rules the Heart?

此外诸作者还说他主管动脉与精液；可他们是怎么推出来的，我不知道，我想他们自己也不知道：太阳既然主管心，木星凭什么主管动脉？

He that can give a reason erit mihi magnus Apollo, and as little reason can be given, and that's little enough, why Jupiter should rule the Seede, which is dame Venus her fee-simple; surely the Planets will not rob one another, though men do; howsoever Jupiter seems to keep his Court in the Liver; and if you are minded to strengthen his operations in your bodyes, begin there.

谁能给出理由，“他就是我的伟大的阿波罗”；同样说不出理由——而那点理由也少得可怜——的是，为什么木星该主管精液，那可是金星夫人的世袭产业；行星总不至于互相抢劫吧，人倒是会的；不管怎样，木星似乎在肝里设朝；你若想在体内加强他的作用，就从那里着手。

3. Mars rules in the body of man, the Gall, the Reines, the Veines, the Secrets, the left Eare; thus Authors; And there is but two true words in it, which is the Gall, and the left Eare. The truth is, he rules the apprehension, and that's the reason that cholerick men are so quick-witted.

三、火星在人体中主管胆、肾、静脉、私处、左耳；这是诸作者之说；其中只有两个词是对的，就是胆与左耳。实情是，他主管领悟力，这就是易怒的人那么机敏的原因。

Yea, a man of a mean apprehension when he is angry, wil make a quicker apprehension in things satisfying his fury then a man of a quicker apprehension hath when he is pleased. Anger summons up all the powers of the body and mind to revenge wrong, though it be but imaginary. And then again, Mars rules that faculty which incites men to valour; he makes a man a Souldier every inch of him; he fortifies the smell; and that's the reason Martical creatures have so good smels as Dogs &c.

是啊，一个领悟力平平的人，一旦发怒，在能满足他怒气的事情上，领悟得会比一个领悟力敏捷的人高兴时还快。怒气会把身心的一切力量都召集起来去报复冤屈，哪怕那冤屈只是想象出来的。再者，火星主管激人勇武的那种能力；他使人从头到脚都是军人；他增强嗅觉，这就是属火星的动物如狗等等嗅觉那么好的原因。

But every little reason, or none at all; unlesse you wil make a reason of traditions, who derives his pedigree rather from Dr. Corruption, then Doctor Reason: Why, Mars should rule the Veines, seeing Jupiter rules the Liver. If Jupiter rule the fountain, shall he be deni'd the streams? and then the Reynes and Secrets are under Venus, and that's apparant without auy more dispute of the story.

但要说火星为什么该主管静脉，理由少之又少，或者根本没有——除非你把传统当作理由，而传统的家谱与其说出自理性医生，不如说出自腐败医生——既然木星主管肝，若木星主管源头，难道就不让他管溪流？再说，肾与私处属金星，这一点很明显，不必再争论。

4. Venus rules the Wombe, the Testicles, Yard, and all the instruments of Generation, the Reynes or Kidneyes, the Throat, Womens breasts, and the Milke contained within them, the Seed and Liver.

四、金星主管子宫、睾丸、阳具与一切生殖器官，肾或腰子、喉咙、妇女的乳房及其中的乳汁、精液与肝。

But by my Authors favour, I can give no other reason why Venus should rule the Liver, unlesse I should give this for a reason; because Jupiter stole the seed from her before, she to quit scores with him, steales away the Liver from him.

但恕我对我的作者不敬，我说不出金星为什么该主管肝的别的理由，除非拿这个当理由：因为木星先前偷了她的精液，她为了跟他扯平，就把他的肝偷走了。

5. Under the dominion of Mercury is the Braine, especially the rational part of it; the imagination, the tongue, hands and feet, the motionall part of man.

五、归水星管辖的，是脑，尤其是脑的理性部分；想象力、舌、手与足，即人的运动部分。

And that's the reason Mercuriarists (if Mercury be strong) are so swift in motions, so fluent of speech.

这就是为什么水星型的人（若水星强旺）动作那么敏捷、言语那么流利。

He gives a quick apprehension, a strong imagination and conceited; he makes a good Pen-man, and stirs up that faculty in man which causeth a thirst after knowledge; he is very fickly in his disposition, and that's that that makes men so fickleheaded.

他给人敏捷的领悟、强而多奇想的想象力；他使人写得一手好文章，并激起人心中渴求知识的那种能力；他的性情非常善变，正是这一点使人那么见异思迁。

If Saturn vouchsafe him a friendly look, he is very constant; otherwise, if you look upon a Weather-cock, you may safely draw his Picture, and no disparagement to his person neither.

若土星赏他一个友善的照面，他就非常坚定；否则，你只要看看风向标，就可以放心地画出他的肖像，这也一点不辱没他。

6. The Sun governs, if you wil believe Authors, the Brain and Nerves, the Heart and Arteries, the sight, the eyes; and in the eyes, the right eye of 2 man, the left eye of a woman. Against these I except, against the Brain and Nerves, the bulk of which is under the Moon.

六、太阳主管——如果你信诸作者的话——脑与神经、心与动脉、视力、眼睛；在眼睛中，男人的右眼、女人的左眼。对这些我要反驳：反驳脑与神经，它们的实体大部分属月亮。

Their operation is under Mercury; now then if Mercury afflict the Brain, the failing is in the operation.

它们的运作属水星；那么，若水星侵害脑，毛病就出在运作上。

If the Moon is in the Bulke or body of the Brain, or Nerves he that is a Physitian, knows what the operations of nature are: and then he knows what I say is truth, and the foundation of it built upon a Rock. He will esteem it as a Jewel.

若是月亮，毛病就在脑或神经的实体或本体上；行医的人知道自然的运作是怎么回事：于是他就知道我说的是真话，其根基建在磐石上。他会把它当作珍宝看待。

It is the property of a Fool to carpe at what he cannot imitate.

对自己学不来的东西吹毛求疵，是傻子的本性。

7. Under the Moon is the Bulk of the brain, the stomack, the bowels, the bladder, the taste, the left eye of a man, the right eye of a woman: a teem of Horses cannot draw one to believe that the moon rules the tast.

七、属月亮的，是脑的实体、胃、肠、膀胱、味觉、男人的左眼、女人的右眼：一队马也拉不动我去相信月亮主管味觉。

If you please to peruse my Treatise of humane vertues, at the latter end of my Ephemerides for Anne 1651. I think you shall find there that Jupiter rules it: and my reason for it may there be found. Besides I have something from Doctor Experience for it, my own tast being exceeding good, and yet the moon exceeding weak in my Genesis.

若你肯细读我一六五一年星历书末尾所附的《论人的诸能》，我想你会在那里看到是木星主管味觉，我的理由也可在那里找到。此外，我在这件事上还有经验医生的佐证：我自己的味觉极好，而我本命中的月亮却极弱。

Being in a Cadent House, and in Genesis, a signe which in my opinion more afflicts the moon then Capricorn.

她在果宫，而且在本命中所在的星座，依我看比摩羯更伤月亮。

I confesse Mr. Lilly affirms Gemini to be a most noble signe, but I dare scarce believe him. Aries is the most principal of all the signes; Gemini is cadent from Aries Ergo, &c. But not now to enter into a Contest with that famous man, to whom this Nation is so much beholding;

我承认莉莉先生断言双子是最高贵的星座，但我简直不敢信他。白羊是一切星座中最首要的；双子从白羊落下而为果；所以，等等。不过此刻我不想同那位名人争论，这个国家受他的恩惠太多了；

Be pleased to take notice, that the twelfth House is more inimical to the ascendent, then the seventh; which if so, then is the moon more afflicted in Gemini, then in Capricorn.

只请注意：第十二宫比第七宫对上升点更不友善；若是如此，那么月亮在双子就比在摩羯受害更重。
