卷二·第九章·第四部　十二星座所主的身体部位

PART. IV.

第四部

The particular parts of the body, under the severall signes of the zodiack, and the houses in the Heavens in a Celestial Scheme.

黄道各星座之下、以及天象图中各宫之下所属的身体特定部位。

1 UNder Aries is the head, and what ever belongs to it, as its Bones, the Face, Brain, Haire, Beard, Eyes, Eares, Nose, Tongue, Teeth &c. whatsoever in man is above the first Vertebra of the Neck.

一、白羊之下是头，以及属于头的一切，如头骨、脸、脑、头发、胡须、眼、耳、鼻、舌、牙等等；人身上凡在颈部第一节椎骨以上的都是。

2. Under Taurus is the Neck, Throat, the Vertebrae of the Neck, which are in number seven. The chanel bone, the shoulder blade, according to my opinion.

二、金牛之下是颈、喉，以及颈椎，颈椎共有七节。照我的意见，还有锁骨与肩胛骨。

Also Taurus hath again signification in the voice; for he will roar like a Bull.

金牛在声音上也另有所主；因为他会像公牛一样吼叫。

3. Under Gemini are the shoulders, shoulder bones, Armes, Hands, Fingers; together with their bag and baggage.

三、双子之下是肩、肩骨、臂、手、手指；连同它们的全部家当。

4. Under Cancer is the Breast, Ribbs, Lungs, Pleura, the Ventricle of the stomack, womens Breasts, the Liver, Spleen &c. and yet Doctor Reason told me the other night, that the Spleen was under Virgo.

四、巨蟹之下是胸、肋骨、肺、胸膜、胃腔、妇女的乳房、肝、脾等等；可是前天晚上理性博士告诉我，脾是在处女之下。

5. Under Leo is the heart, the back, and the Vertebrae of the breast, which are in number twelve; The Pericardium; some Authors say the Stomack is under Leo, but I can scarce believe it: I am perswaded the Appetite is under Leo, and that's the reason such as have that signe ascending in their Genesis, are such greedy eaters.

五、狮子之下是心、背，以及胸椎，胸椎共有十二节；还有心包；有些作者说胃在狮子之下，但我难以相信：我深信食欲在狮子之下，这就是为什么本命中狮子上升的人那么贪吃。

You that are Astrologers, and have the Nativity of such persons in your hands, you know my words are truth.

你们这些星占家，手里有这类人的本命盘，你们知道我的话是真的。

And if in a Nativity, the prevalency of other significators should happen to contradict it:

若在一个本命盘里，别的征象星的优势碰巧与此相抵：

You know the old proverb, one Swallow makes out a summer.

你们知道那句老话，一燕不成夏。

6. Under Virgo is the Belly and Bowels, the Navil and Spleen, the Omentum, and all their Appurtenances &c.

六、处女之下是腹与肠、脐与脾、网膜，以及它们的一切附属等等。

This is that she rules, and she bids you by my pen to be chast.

这就是她所主管的，她借我的笔吩咐你们要贞洁。

7. Under the Ballance say Authors are the Reynes, Loynes, and Kidneyes, between which in my judgement, is as much difference, as is between eight pence and two groats. Under Libra besides they say, are the Hams, Buttocks, Bladder, and Navel; thus Authors. And I quoted it onely to this end, that young Students may see what a monster tradition is; and may avoid being led by the Nose by it, as Beares are led to the Stake. You know well enough if the blind lead the blind, what will become of them both: Let every one that desires to be called by the name of Artist, have his wits in his head, (for that's the place ordained for them) and not in his books.

七、作者们说，天秤之下是肾、腰与腰子，照我的判断，这几样之间的差别，就像八便士与两枚四便士银币之间的差别那么大。他们又说天秤之下还有腘窝、臀部、膀胱与脐；作者们就是这么说的。我引用这些，只是为了让年轻的学生看看，传统是个多大的怪物；免得被它牵着鼻子走，就像熊被牵到木桩那里去一样。你们很清楚，若是瞎子领瞎子，两个会落到什么下场：凡想被称为技艺之士的人，都要把他的才智放在头脑里（那才是给才智安排的地方），而不是放在他的书里。

The Hams are under Capricorn, the Bladder under Scorpio, the Navel under Virgo; aske Doctor Reason, and see if he tell you not the same tale.

腘窝在摩羯之下，膀胱在天蝎之下，脐在处女之下；去问理性博士，看他说的是不是同一个说法。

8. Under Scorpio are the Secrets of both Sexes; it is not very fitting for me to name them; as also the feminall Vessels; all the vessels dedicated to the Generation of man, the bladder and fundament; and therefore though artists cry out so much against the Scorpion for a false, deceitfull, treacherous, mischievous, violent, poysonsome sign; Let them look back to the rock from whence they are hewen: It may be they shall see the reasons of some of their violent speeches against my self. A word is enough to wise men. Let them not speake evill of what they know not.

八、天蝎之下是两性的隐秘之处；由我来点它们的名不大合适；还有女性的精液管；一切专用于人类繁衍的管道，以及膀胱与肛门；所以，虽然技艺之士们大骂天蝎，说它是个虚伪、欺诈、背信、阴险、暴烈、有毒的星座；让他们回头看看他们是从哪块磐石里凿出来的吧：也许他们会看出他们对我本人说那些激烈言辞的一些缘由。一句话对聪明人就够了。让他们别再诽谤他们所不知道的事。

This is most certaine, from those parts of the body under the dominion of Scorpio have all men and women in generall the influence of their propagation;

最确定的是：所有男人和女人，大体上都是从天蝎所管辖的那些身体部位，得到他们繁衍的影响；

And in them take they their greatestpleasure; And thus have I spoken something for a Signe which every one speaks against.

他们在这些部位得到最大的快乐；我就这样替一个人人都骂的星座说了几句话。

9. Time will not stay, therefore I must be briefe: under Sagittarius are the thighs, the bone called Os sacrum, which whether justly so called, or unjustly, I know not. It is either Jewish superstition or worse. The rump-bone, the thigh-bone, together with all the appurtenance belonging to the thigh.

九、时间不等人，所以我得简短：射手之下是大腿，还有那块叫作“圣骨”的骨头，这名字叫得对不对，我不知道。那要么是犹太人的迷信，要么更糟。还有尾骨、股骨，以及属于大腿的一切附属。

Some Authors say the hams are under Sagittarius, but then they are beside the Cushion.

有些作者说腘窝在射手之下，可那就不着边际了。

10 Under Capricorne are the knees, hams, and what belongs unto them.

十、摩羯之下是膝、腘窝，以及属于它们的一切。

11 Under Aquarius are the leggs and whatsoever belongs unto them, even from the outward skin called Cuticula, to the midst of the marrow in both bones; for these are two of them, which Chirurgions because they would keep you in ignorance, called, Focile majus, & Focile minus, or if you will, tibia & fibula. They all know what the bones are but a quarter of them are not able to give you a reason, why the bones are so called. Pray take notice of this in going about to make slaves of you, they have made fools of themselves.

十一、水瓶之下是小腿和属于小腿的一切，从叫作表皮的外层皮肤，直到两根骨头的骨髓中央；因为小腿骨有两根，外科医生为了让你们蒙在鼓里，把它们叫作“大辅骨”与“小辅骨”，或者你们愿意的话，叫“胫骨”与“腓骨”。这些骨头是什么，他们全都知道，可是能说出这些骨头为什么这样叫的，他们当中不到四分之一。请留意：他们一心想把你们变成奴隶，却把自己变成了傻瓜。

12 Lastly, Pisces claimes the feet and ancles, toes and all the bones. To write like a scholler 'tis tarsus metatarsus, and the bones of the toes. It rules also the skinne of the foot, the flesh and vessels betwixt the skin and the bones.

十二、最后，双鱼占有脚与脚踝、脚趾和全部的骨头。要像个学者那样写，就是跗骨、跖骨与趾骨。它还主管脚上的皮肤，以及皮与骨之间的肉和血管。

For though the sign be the weakest in the Zodiack, it is unwilling altogether to leave you nought but skin and bones.

因为这个星座虽然是黄道中最弱的，却不愿只给你们留下皮包骨头。

Also some Authors hold an opinion that the signes carry the same signification in order that the houses of heaven do; and that Aries should signifie life; Taurus estate; Gemini Brethren and short journeys; you know the rest. Truly, My owne opinion is, many Authors invented whimsies, and when they had done, set them downe to posterity for truth; who taking them up without tryall, cloathed Tradition in Plush, and left poor reason to goe in Rags. An Author said so; ergo tis true, right or wrong.

还有些作者持这样一种意见：星座按次序带有与天上各宫相同的含义；白羊该主生命；金牛主财产；双子主兄弟与短途旅行；其余的你们都知道。说实话，我自己的意见是：许多作者发明了些怪念头，发明完了，就当作真理传给后人；后人不加检验就接过来，给传统穿上丝绒，却让可怜的理性衣衫褴褛。某位作者这么说过；所以，对也好错也好，就是真的。

I take this to be one of that generation, and I prove it thus; By this account Cancer should rule the Fathers; but experience tels us, that an ill Planet in Cancer in the genesis threatens evill to the Mother, but in Leo to the Father. A word is enough to a wise man.

我认为这就是那一类的东西，我这样来证明：照这种算法，巨蟹该主父亲；可是经验告诉我们，本命中凶星在巨蟹，预示母亲有祸，在狮子则预示父亲有祸。一句话对聪明人就够了。

Also there is another signification of the Planets according to the respective signes therein; Every Planet making his Aries in his owne house. I forbeare it here; First of all because it conduceth not much to my present scope, for example, a Urine came to me about a yeare agoe; Mercury was the afflicting Planet, and in Aries, according to this rate Mercury rules the leggs and privities; but the man was diseased in his head, for he was madd.

另外还有一种按诸星座来定行星含义的说法；每颗行星都以自己的庙为白羊。这里我不讲它；首先因为它对我眼下的用意没有多大帮助，举个例子，大约一年前有人给我送来一份尿样；水星是为害之星，在白羊，照这种算法，水星该主小腿和私处；可那人病在头上，因为他疯了。

I gave you a table of it in my Guide for women; and I am as loath to write one thing twice, as you are to pay for one thing twice. If this will not content you, you are so hard to be pleased that I shall not undertake to please you, but to please my selfe; and in so doing I am confident to please some body else.

我在我的《妇女指南》里给过一张这样的表；我不愿把一件事写两遍，正如你们不愿为一件东西付两次钱。若这还不能叫你们满意，你们就难伺候到我不打算再讨好你们，只讨好我自己了；我这样做，相信也会讨好别的什么人。
