卷四（四）　有害的度数、星座初升时所生之人、四方之风与内海

In Taurus

［金牛］

The Bull's Ninth portion, did the Sign depend / On me, should never shine upon a Friend: / Add Three to Ten, or double Ten and Three, / Take Two from Thirty, all these parts agree; / Twice Twelve, and twice Eleven count, and joyn / The Seventeenth part as noxious in this Sign, / Nor is the Thirtieth better than the Rest.

金牛的第九份，如果这个星座由我来定，就永远不该照在朋友身上：十加三，或者两个十加三，三十减二，这些部分都一样；数两个十二、两个十一，再加上第十七份，在这个星座里都是有害的，第三十份也不比其余的好。

In Gemini

［双子］

The Twins First part doth hurtful Rays dispense, / Nor doth their Childhood prove their Innocence; / They're froward, pettish, and unus'd to smile, / Their Third, and Seventh Degrees agree in Ill: / The Fifteenth equals these, and Twenty sees / Close on each side immoderate Degrees:

双子的第一份散布有害的光线，他们的孩童模样也不能证明他们无辜；他们任性、易怒、不惯于笑；他们的第三与第七度在凶恶上相合：第十五度与这些相当，第二十度又看见紧挨在两边的过度之度：

To Twenty reckon Seven, or Five, or Nine, / And all are hurtful portions of this Sign.

在二十上数七，或五，或九，都是这个星座有害的部分。

In Cancer

［巨蟹］

Should Cancer boast a kind and gentle Reign, / The First, and Third, and Sixth would plead in vain; / The Eleventh, Fifteenth, and the Eighth Degrees, / The Twentieth too could hope no more success: / The Twenty Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, severely sway, / The Seventeenth too with a malignant Ray / Rules o're the Birth, and stamps the easie Clay.

假如巨蟹夸耀他统治的仁慈温和，第一、第三与第六度却要白白申辩；第十一、第十五与第八度，还有第二十度，也不能指望更好的结果：第二十五、二十七、二十九度统治严酷，第十七度也以恶毒的光线统治出生，在柔顺的泥土上打下印记。

In Leo

［狮子］

The flaming Lion in the First we fear, / Nor doth the Fourth a milder Image bear; / The Twenty Second, the Fifteenth, Tenth presage / With th' Eight and Twentieth an unhappy Age.

火焰般的狮子，在第一度里我们害怕，第四度也不带更温和的形象；第二十二、第十五、第十度，与第二十八度一起，预示一个不幸的人生。

With hurtful Powers the Twenty Fifth is Curst, / The Thirtieth too as noxious as the First.

第二十五度被有害的力量所诅咒，第三十度也与第一度一样有害。

In Virgo

［处女］

The First, and the Eleventh of the Maid, / The Sixth, the Fourteenth, Eighteenth parts are bad: / The Twenty First, and Fourth this Sign disgrace, / Nor can the Thirtieth shew a better Face.

处女的第一与第十一度，第六、第十四、第十八度都是坏的：第二十一与第二十四度使这个星座蒙羞，第三十度也显不出更好的面容。

In Libra

［天秤］

Next view the Scales, the Seventh, and Fifth degree / Is bad, add Eight to Ten, or Ten to Three; / To Ten twice told add Seven, or Four, or Nine, / All like the Thirtieth hurtful in this Sign.

再看天秤，第七与第五度是坏的，十加八，或十加三；两个十加七，或四，或九，都与第三十度一样，是这个星座里有害的。

In Scorpio

［天蝎］

I'th' First, Third, Sixth, and Tenth black Scorpio's Claws / And in the Fifteenth make Malignant Laws; / The Twenty Second, Eighth, Fifth, and Ninth betray / His poys'nous Rage in an unhappy Ray:

黑色天蝎的螯在第一、第三、第六与第十度，在第十五度，立下恶毒的法则；第二十二、二十八、二十五与二十九度，以不幸的光线暴露他有毒的狂怒：

In Sagittarius

［射手］

Would Fate allow thee choice, forbear to choose / The Centaur's Fourth Degree, the Eighth refuse; / The Twelfth, the Sixteenth, Twentieth parts portend / A wretched Life, and an untimely End: / The Twenty Fourth, Sixth, Eighth Degrees molest, / Nor is the Thirtieth better than the Rest. / The Thirteenth of the Goats contracted Star,

假如命运容你选择，不要选射手的第四度，拒绝第八度；第十二、第十六、第二十度预示一个悲惨的人生与过早的结局：第二十四、二十六、二十八度带来烦扰，第三十度也不比其余的好。摩羯那局促的星座的第十三度，

In Capricorn

［摩羯］

Nor Seventh, nor Ninth shall be my earnest Prayer; / Nor that which Twenty doth of One deprive, / Or Three, or adding gives it Six or Five.

第七度、第九度，都不会是我恳切祈求的；二十减一的那一度，或减三的那一度，或者加上六、加上五的那一度，也都不是。

In Aquarius

［水瓶］

To Ten add One, or Five, or Nine, or Three / And you are sure to find a bad Degree: / Add One, Five, Nine to Twenty, hurtful Streams / Flow from the Vrn, and spread unlucky Beams.

十加一，或五，或九，或三，你就必定找到一个坏的度数：二十加一、五、九，有害的水流从水瓮里流出，散布不祥的光线。

In Pisces

［双鱼］

The Fishes close the Signs. their parts confest / As noxious, and as guilty as the Rest; / For Three, Five, Seven, or Ten when joyn'd with Seven, / Or One, mark hurtful Portions of the Heaven.

双鱼是星座的最后一座，它们的部分也被公认与其余的一样有害、一样有罪；因为三、五、七，或者十与七合起来，或者与一合起来，标出天上有害的部分。

Five multiply'd by Five is hardly clear'd, / And Seven to Twenty added's to be fear'd: / All these are noxious Portions of the Sky, / Too Hot, or Cold, or else too Moist, or Dry.

五乘五几乎洗不清，二十加七也令人害怕：这些都是天上有害的部分，太热，或太冷，或太湿，或太干。

How the Signs Act when they rise

［星座升起时如何起作用］

This known, the Work is not compleatly done, / The Labours still increase as you go on; / The Time makes difference, as they Rise, new force / They gain, and after lose it in their Course.

知道了这些，工作还没有完全做完，越往前，劳作越多；时间造成差别：星座升起时获得新的力量，在运行中又失去它。

Aries

［白羊］

Thus when the Ram ascends, and proudly turns / His bending backward Neck before his Horns / To Mortal Eyes, the wretched Births are Curst / With Ravenous Tempers, and inflam'd with Lust: / All Modesty shall be to Gold betray'd, / Nor Parents Care secure the easie Maid:

所以当白羊上升，骄傲地把他弯向后方的颈项先于双角转向凡人的眼睛时，那时出生的不幸之人受到诅咒，性情贪婪，被情欲点燃：一切羞耻都要被出卖给黄金，父母的看护也保不住柔顺的少女：

These Tempers are his own; as Fancy leads / He roves, and wantons o're the flowry Meads: / Forward to push, and as the Grass renews / His wasted Strength, he Courts the willing Ews.

这些性情是他自己的；他随着兴致漫游，在开满花的草地上嬉戏：急于向前冲，当青草恢复了他消耗的力气，他就向顺从的母羊求爱。

To Travel he inclines through Lands unknown, / He Ploughs new Seas, and makes the World his own: / This he prefigur'd when his Back convey'd / Young Phryxus safe, and lost the falling Maid.

他倾向于穿越陌生的土地去旅行，耕耘新的海洋，把世界据为己有：这是他早已预示过的，那时他的背安全地载走年轻的佛里克索斯，却失落了坠下的少女。

Taurus

［金牛］

The Bulls bright part that first appears, creates / Vile Pathicks scandals to the other Fates.

金牛最先出现的那明亮的部分，造就卑劣的娈童，玷污其他的命运。

The Cause, if it be fit to search for one / When Nature works, may easily be shewn; / His Back-part first appears, in that he bears / The narrow Cloudy Train of Female Stars: / And thus the Posture, and the Sex combine / To shew the Influence of the rising Sign:

原因，如果在自然运作时还适合去寻找一个的话，是很容易说明的；他的后半身先出现，因为他背负着那一串狭窄而朦胧的女性之星：这样，姿势与性别结合起来，显示这个上升星座的影响：

He bends to Plow, and o're the Fruitful Plains / The Labouring Ox grows Fat upon his Pains.

他俯身耕犁，在肥沃的平原上，劳作的牛因他的辛劳而长得肥壮。

Gemini

［双子］

But when their Feet the rising Twins do shew, / And half appear above, half lye below, / The Births are happy, all their Parts refind, / And Arts enrich the Treasures of their Mind.

但当上升的双子露出他们的脚，一半在上，一半在下，所生的人是幸福的，他们一切禀赋都经过精炼，各种技艺使他们心智的宝藏更加丰富。

Ready their Wit, persuasive is their Tongue, / In Musick skill'd, and excellent in Song: / These are the Powers their rising Rays dispense, / They Wit bestow, and fix that Wit with Sense.

他们的才思敏捷，口舌有说服力，精于音乐，擅长歌唱：这些就是他们上升的光线所给予的力量，他们赋予才智，又以理性稳住这才智。

Cancer

［巨蟹］

When rouling Cancer riseth vaild in Clouds, / I'th' Skies as deeply hid as in the Floods, / The Moon resembling when depriv'd of Light; / The Births are Blind, and wish in vain for sight; / By Fates a Verse condemn'd to double Death, / Dead whilst Alive, and Buryed whilst they breath: / But when the Lion shews his ravenous Jaws

当滚动的巨蟹罩在云里升起，在天上藏得就像在洪水里一样深，像失去光明时的月亮；所生的人是盲人，徒然渴望视力；被不利的命运判了双重的死，活着时已死，呼吸时已葬：但当狮子露出他贪婪的大口，

Leo

［狮子］

Prepar'd for Rapine, and unsheaths his Paws, / A Spendthrift's born, who minds himself alone, / He wrongs his Father, and he cheats his Son; / His Race in vain with expectation wait, / For in himself he buries his Estate; / So vast his Gluttony, his Lust so wild / That he devours him self, yet is not fill'd:

准备掠夺，伸出他的爪子时，所生的是一个挥霍者，只顾自己，他亏待父亲，又欺骗儿子；他的子孙空自期待，因为他把家产葬送在自己身上；他的贪食这样大，他的情欲这样狂，以致他吞下了自己，却仍不满足：

And whilst his Appetite proceeds to crave / He eats his Funeral, and he spends his Grave.

当他的胃口还在不断索求时，他吃掉了自己的葬礼，花光了自己的坟墓。

Virgo

［处女］

When Virgo rises, (who whilst Right prevail'd / Rul'd here below. retreating when it fail'd) / To awful Honors all the Births must rise / Profoundly skill'd in Sacred Mysteries: / Good, Pious, Just, Devout, unus'd to Rage / And great Examples to the looser Age: / But when Autumnal Scales do first appear

当处女升起时（她在正义盛行时统治下界，正义衰败时便离去），所生的人都要升到令人敬畏的尊荣，精通神圣的奥秘：善良、虔敬、公正、虔诚，不惯于发怒，是放纵时代的伟大榜样：但当秋天的秤刚刚出现，

Libra

［天秤］

Happy the Birth, he shall be known from far, / The Glory of the Bench, and of the Bar; / He justest Laws shall make, and Life and Death / Depend upon the Issues of his Breath; / Him Towns shall fear, the Earth observe his Nod, / And after Earth the Heaven enjoy a God.

所生之人有福了，他将远近闻名，是法官席与律师席的荣耀；他将制定最公正的法律，生与死都取决于他口中的话；城镇将畏惧他，大地将留意他的点头示意，在大地之后，天将享有一位神。

Scorpio

［天蝎］

Thus Act these Signs, but Scorpio's Tayl displays / A double Influence from his Forked Rays; / For when that first appears, the Peaceful Child / Shall Cities Raise, and be inclin'd to build; / The World shall see him with his Plow surround / The place design'd, and mark the fatal Bound;

这些星座就这样起作用；但天蝎的尾巴从他分叉的光线里显出双重的影响；因为当它最先出现时，那和平的孩子将建立城市，倾向于营造；世界将看见他用他的犁环绕预定之地，标出命定的边界；

Or he shall wast what others Pains did raise, / Where Populous Cities stood, there Beasts shall graze, / Or Harvests grow; He leads to these Extreams, / And Power agreeing waits upon his Beams.

或者他将毁坏别人辛苦建起的东西，人口众多的城市矗立过的地方，野兽将在那里吃草，或者长出庄稼；他引人走向这两个极端，相称的权力伴随着他的光线。

Sagittarius

［射手］

Bold Sagittarius, when he first appears, / Heats the gay Birth, and makes him fam'd for Wars; / In Triumphs great, the Wonder of the Crowd, / By Captives carry'd, he almost a God / Shall climb the Capitol, bright Fame pursue, / Old Cities raze, or grace the Earth with New:

勇敢的射手，当他最先出现时，使那华美的出生之人发热，以战功闻名；在凯旋中伟大，是众人的奇观，由俘虏抬着，他几乎是一位神，将登上卡匹托尔，追求灿烂的名声，夷平旧城，或以新城装点大地：

But ill success, (his Forehead's wreath'd with Frowns) / Shall wast his Fame, and blast his gather'd Crowns.

但厄运（他的额上缠着怒容）将耗尽他的名声，摧毁他积攒的桂冠。

Thus Conquering Hannibal, by this Sign betray'd / Before his flight perceiv'd his Wreaths to fade, / He paid for Trebia's and for Cannae's fame, / And recompenc'd our Losses by his shame. / But when the narrow Goat erects his Tail

就这样，征服者汉尼拔被这个星座出卖，在他逃亡之前就察觉自己的桂冠在凋谢；他为特雷比亚与坎尼的名声付出了代价，用自己的耻辱补偿了我们的损失。但当局促的摩羯竖起他的尾巴，

Capricornus

［摩羯］

He drives to Sea, and much inclines to Sail, / Ignoble Trade then Ploughs the dangerous Main, / And precious Life is meanly stak'd for Gain. / The Good, the Pious, and the Iust are born

他驱人出海，非常倾向航行，那时卑贱的贸易耕耘危险的大海，宝贵的生命被卑劣地押上去求利。善良的、虔敬的、公正的人出生，

Aquarius

［水瓶］

When first Aquarius pours out his Vrn. / But could I rule, could I the Fates design,

当水瓶刚开始倾倒他的水瓮。但假如我能统治，假如我能安排命运，

Pisces

［双鱼］

The rising Fishes ne're should govern mine; / They give a Hateful, Pratling, Railing Tongue, / Still full of Venom, always in the wrong; / That blows up Jealousies. and heightens Fears, / By mutterring Poys'nous Whispers in Mens Ears.

上升的双鱼绝不该主宰我的命运；它们给人一条可憎、饶舌、谩骂的舌头，总是满含毒液，总是错的；它煽起猜忌、加重恐惧，在人们耳边喃喃低语恶毒的话。

Faithless the Births, and full of wild desire; / Their Faith is Treachery, and their Love is Fire.

所生的人不守信，充满狂野的欲望；他们的忠诚是背叛，他们的爱是火。

For when the Skies grew weak, when Giants strove, / And snaky Typhon shook the Throne of Iove; / Fair Venus fled, and in a Fish's shape / (This Syria knows) secur'd her mean escape; / Then did she through the Scaly Kind inspire / New Heats, and with the Ocean mixt her Fire.

因为当诸天衰弱、巨人们反抗，蛇形的堤丰撼动朱庇特的王座时；美丽的维纳斯逃走了，以一条鱼的形状（这是叙利亚知道的）卑微地保全了自己：从那时起，她把新的热情注入鳞类，把她的火与海洋混合在一起。

No single Births, for when this Sign begins, / Twins shall be Born, or those that shall have Twins.

这个星座开始升起时，没有单胎的出生：所生的要么是双胞胎，要么是将来会生双胞胎的人。

Now learn what Signs o're different Lands controle, / But first take this short figure of the whole:

现在来学习哪些星座管辖不同的地域，但先看一看这整体的简短图形：

The winds call'd Cardinal

［称为基本方位的风］

East, West, and North, and South, on either side, / These Quarters lie oppos'd, the World divide: / As many Winds from these four Quarters file, / And fight and rattle, thro' the empty sky.

东、西、北、南，彼此相对，分处两边，这四方划分了世界：从这四方吹出同样多的风，在空旷的天上交战、呼啸。

Rough Boreas from the North, bears Frost and Snows, / And from the East, the gentle Eurus blows.

粗暴的玻瑞阿斯从北方带来霜雪，温和的欧罗斯从东方吹来。

Wet Auster from the torrid South is thrown, / And pleasing Zephyrus cools the setting Sun.

潮湿的奥斯特从炎热的南方吹来，宜人的仄费洛斯使落日清凉。

The Collateral winds

［两侧的风］

'Twixt these two other Winds their Seats do claim, / Alike in Nature, different but in Name.

在这两两之间，另有两种风占据座位，性质相似，只是名字不同。

Around the Earth the liquid Ocean plays, / The Ball enclosing with a soft Embrace; / But yet on many parts, Earth's bending sides, / Or open Bays receive the flowing Tides.

大洋在大地四周嬉戏，以柔和的拥抱环绕这个球体；但在许多地方，大地弯曲的边缘或敞开的海湾接纳了流进来的潮水。

The Mediterranean Sea and the several parts of it

［地中海及其各部分］

The Sea admitted from the Western Shores, / Doth on the Right Hand wash the swarthy Moors; / And Lybia's Sands, where once great Carthage stood, / Then o're the Syrtes whirls the rapid Flood; / And thence to Egypt it directly flows, / Where what dry Heaven denies, the Nile bestows.

从西边的海岸放进来的海，在右手边冲刷黝黑的摩尔人，和利比亚的沙地，伟大的迦太基曾矗立在那里，然后湍急的水流在锡尔特浅滩上旋转；从那里直流到埃及，在那里，干燥的天所拒绝的，尼罗河给予了。

The Left Hand Sea by Spain and France extends, / And follows Conquering Italy as it bends; / Till into Streights the barking Sylla draws, / And whirls it round Charybdis greedy Jaws; / Loos'd from these Streights, the Flouds spread wide again, / And freely flow in the Ionian Main:

左手边的海沿着西班牙与法兰西伸展，随着征服者意大利的弯曲而弯曲；直到吠叫的斯库拉把它吸进海峡，在卡律布狄斯贪婪的大口周围旋转；从这海峡中解脱出来，洪流又宽阔地展开，自由地流进伊奥尼亚海：

Then on the left they turn, and winding flow, / Fair Italy surround, and drink the Po.

然后它们向左转，蜿蜒流动，环绕美丽的意大利，饮下波河。

Then make rough Adria's Gulph; the other side / Illyrium washes with a gentle Tide, / Sees Epire's Cliffs, and Corinth's lofty Towers, / Then winds round plain Morea's open Shores.

然后形成波涛汹涌的亚得里亚湾；另一边以柔和的潮水冲刷伊利里亚，看见伊庇鲁斯的悬崖与科林斯高耸的塔楼，然后环绕平坦的摩里亚开阔的海岸。

Thence Northward into vast recesses tost / The Sea confines the Learn'd Achaia's Coast: / Thence North and Eastward the unwilling Flood / Confin'd by Streights, and stain'd with Helle's Blood / To fam'd Byzantium cuts its winding way, / And joyns Propontis to the Euxine Sea;

从那里海水被抛向北方巨大的深处，界限出有学问的阿开亚的海岸：从那里向北、向东，不情愿的洪流被海峡约束，染着赫勒的血，向著名的拜占庭切开它蜿蜒的路，把普罗庞提斯与黑海连在一起；

Behind whose back the Lake Meotis lies / Receives full Tanais, and the Sea supplies.

在黑海背后，是迈俄提斯湖，接纳满盈的塔奈斯河，又供水给海。

Hence when the Circling Waves return again / The weary Sailer to the Open Main, / He cuts th' Icarian, and th' Aegaean Tide / By Asia's Coasts, and wonders at their Pride: / And whilst the left hand Course he still pursues / As many Trophies, as he places views;

从这里，当回环的波浪把疲倦的水手送回开阔的大海，他划过伊卡里亚海与爱琴海，沿着亚细亚的海岸，惊叹它们的壮丽：当他仍沿着左手的航线前进，他看见多少地方，就看见多少胜利纪念：

A thousand Nations, Taurus mount, that threats / The Floods, the Bay that from the Sea retreats / Parcht Syria's Plains, and the Cilician Seats, / Till he at last to Egypt turns his Oars / And sees the Waves dye on the swarthy Shores.

上千个民族，威胁着洪流的陶鲁斯山，从海中退缩的海湾，焦干的叙利亚平原，西里西亚的居地，直到最后他把桨转向埃及，看见波浪消逝在黝黑的海岸上。

Thus ruling Nature draws her bounding Lines, / Checks midland Seas, and all their Rage confines.

统治万物的自然就这样画下界线，约束内陆的海，把它们的狂怒全都限制住。
