卷五（一）　卷五提要、诸天星群与随白羊同升的船、猎户、御夫

Having explain'd the general influence of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiack, and given a particular account of their interchanges with one another, and how they incline when they rise; after a short Preface, in which he magnifies his own Industry, and unweary'd diligence in this Subject: He goes on, 1. To shew what Constellations rise with the several Degrees of the Twelve Signs, and then what Tempers they bestow, and to what Studies they incline: For instance, 2.

在讲明黄道十二星座的一般影响，详细说明它们彼此的交换，以及它们升起时怎样使人倾向之后；在一段简短的序言里，他颂扬自己在这个题目上的勤奋与不倦的用功，然后接着讲：一、哪些星群随十二星座的各个度数升起，然后它们赋予怎样的性情、使人倾向哪些学业：例如，二、

The Northern Rudder of the Ship, riseth with the fourth Degree of Aries, and those that are then Born, shall be inclin'd to Sail, and prove good Pilots: 3. Orion riseth with the same Degree of Aries, and those that are Born under his Influence, shall be Men of busie, active Tempers, Solicitors, cringing Parasites and Flatterers: 4. Heniochus or the Driver, riseth with the fifteenth Degree of Aries, and makes Charioteers, Horse-Racers, and Men skill'd in all sorts of Horseman-ship: 5.

船的北舵随白羊第四度升起，那时出生的人将倾向航海，成为好领航员：三、猎户随白羊的同一度升起，在他的影响下出生的人将是忙碌活跃的性情，是讼务代理人、卑躬的食客与谄媚者：四、赫尼俄科斯，即御夫，随白羊第十五度升起，造就驾车者、赛马者，以及精通各种骑术的人：五、

With the Twentieth Degree of Aries, the Hoedi or the Kids rise, and those, being wanton Stars, produce nothing that is Vertuous or Noble: Their Births are wanton, light, and lustful, and never Couragious, but in pursuit of some shameful lewd Pleasure; some of their Births, are peculiarly delighted in feeding and keeping Goats: 7. With the Twenty-seventh Degree of Aries, rise the Hyades: And their Births are always turbulent and Seditious, prone to Factions, restless Phanaticks, or else, they give their Minds to Country Affairs, feed Cattle, or turn Waggoners: 7.

随白羊第二十度，小山羊升起，它们是轻浮的星，不产生任何有德或高贵的人：它们所生的人轻浮、浅薄、好色，从不勇敢，除非是在追求某种可耻淫荡的享乐时；它们所生的人中有些特别喜欢饲养、看管山羊：六、随白羊第二十七度，毕星团升起：它们所生的人总是骚乱、好煽动，倾向结党，是不安分的狂热者，否则就留心乡间事务，放牧牲畜，或成为赶车人：七、

With the Thirtieth Degree of Aries, the Goat riseth; and those that are Born under that influence, shall be fearful, jealous, suspicious, and inconstant, or else inclin'd to Travel: 8. He says the Pleiades rise with the sixth Degree of Taurus; and the Men that are then Born, shall be gay, and humorous, witty, but too effeminate and soft, minding nothing but Dress, Gate, and Love: 9. The Hare riseth with the seventh Degree of Gemini or the Twins; and her Births are active and nimble, fit for all sports, all feats of activity, and slight of hand: 10.

随白羊第三十度，山羊升起；在那影响下出生的人将胆怯、猜忌、多疑、善变，否则就倾向远游：八、他说昴星团随金牛第六度升起；那时出生的人将华丽、诙谐、机智，但太柔弱、太软，只留心衣饰、步态与爱情：九、天兔随双子第七度升起；她所生的人活跃敏捷，适合各种游戏、各种身手的技艺与手法的灵巧：十、

The Asses rise with the first Degree of Cancer; and those that are Born under their influence, shall be employ'd in all sorts of Hunting and Fishing: 11. With the twenty-seventh Degree of Cancer, Procyon or the little Dog rises, and that produceth such as weave Nets, make Spears, and all other Instruments of Huntsmen: 12.

驴随巨蟹第一度升起；在它们的影响下出生的人将从事各种狩猎与捕鱼：十一、随巨蟹第二十七度，南河三即小犬升起，它产生织网、造矛以及制作猎人其他一切器具的人：十二、

The Great Dog riseth with Leo, and being himself a Constellation of excessive heat; those that are Born under his influence, shall be full of Passion, Hate, Iealousie, and ungovernable suspicion, and given to excess in Wine; their Heat shall lead them on to to dangers, and engage them to hunt wild Beasts. 13. With the last Degree of Leo, the Bowl appears, and inclines to plant and dress Vines; the Births shall be somewhat intemperate, inclin'd to Merchandise, and to trade in those Commodities, which cannot be brought to perfection without moisture: 14.

大犬随狮子升起，它本身是一个极热的星群；在他的影响下出生的人将充满激情、仇恨、猜忌与不可控制的疑心，并且嗜酒过度；他们的热将引他们走向危险，使他们去猎野兽。十三、随狮子最后一度，巨爵出现，使人倾向种植与修整葡萄；所生的人有些不节制，倾向经商，买卖那些没有湿气就不能做成的货物：十四、

With the fifteenth Degree of Virgo, the Crown of Ariadne riseth, and then the Births shall be Florists; they shall delight in making and perfuming Garlands, be Gay; Amorous, and affect neatness in their Habit. 15. The Sheaf riseth with the tenth Degree of Virgo, and inclines Men to look after Corn, to build Barns, to Grind and Bake Grain, and make it useful: 16. With the eighth Degree of Libra, the Arrow rises, and then are Born expert Darters, and good Bow-Men, such as Philoctetes, Teucer, and Alcon. 17.

随处女第十五度，阿里阿德涅之冠升起，那时所生的人是花匠；他们喜欢编制花环、给花环熏香，华丽、多情，讲究衣着整洁。十五、麦穗随处女第十度升起，使人倾向照管谷物、建造谷仓、磨面烘焙，使它有用：十六、随天秤第八度，天箭升起，那时出生的人是熟练的投枪手与好弓手，就像菲罗克忒忒斯、透克洛斯与阿尔孔。十七、

The Goat or Hoedus, riseth with some part of Libra, and produceth Tempers quick and active, fit for Business, and covetous of Employment: somewhat loose, but honest to their Country, and Enemies to Knaves. 18. The Harp rising with some part of Libra, breeds Songsters and Musicians; such as affect to Sing in Company, and are always humming to themselves. 19. The Altar rising with the eighth Degree of Scorpio, breeds Priests, Servants in Temples, and such as take care of and consult Oracles. 20.

山羊即小山羊，随天秤的某一部分升起，产生敏捷活跃的性情，适于事务，渴求职位：有些放荡，但忠于国家，是恶棍的敌人。十八、天琴随天秤的某一部分升起，养育歌手与乐师；这样的人喜欢在人群中唱歌，总是独自哼着。十九、天坛随天蝎第八度升起，养育祭司、神庙中的侍者，以及照管与求问神谕的人。二十、

The Southern Centaur rising with the twelfth Degree of Scorpio, breeds Horse-Men, Charioteers, and Farriers. 21. With the fifth Degree of Sagittarius, Arcturus appears, and breeds Collectors of Customs, Treasurers for Kings, or Stewards for private Mens Estates. 22. With the thirtieth Degree of Sagittarius, the Swan rises; and then are Born all kinds of Fowlers; such as Teach Birds to speak, to sing, or to decoy, &c. all their Employments shall be about Birds. 23.

南方人马随天蝎第十二度升起，养育骑手、驾车者与马医。二十一、随射手第五度，大角出现，养育关税征收者、国王的司库，或私人产业的管家。二十二、随射手第三十度，天鹅升起；那时出生的是各种捕鸟人；例如教鸟说话、唱歌或作诱鸟等等，他们的一切职业都与鸟有关。二十三、

With some part of Capricon, Ophieuchus, or the Snake-holder riseth, and produceth such as are skill'd in curing poison'd Persons, and such as cannot be poison'd themselves. 24. With the last Degrees of Capricorn, the Southern Fish rising, breeds Anglers, Divers, Fishers for Pearls, &c. or at least, Traders for Fish and Pearls. 25. With some part of Capricorn the Harp, (or rather the Strings of it, for of the Shell Manilius hath already spoken) riseth, and produceth subtle Accusers, Iustices that shall examine nicely, and determine justly; or such as shall torture, and force the Guilty to Confession. 26.

随摩羯的某一部分，蛇夫即持蛇者升起，产生善于医治中毒之人的人，以及本身不会中毒的人。二十四、随摩羯最后几度，南鱼升起，养育钓鱼者、潜水者、采珠人等等，或至少是鱼与珍珠的商人。二十五、随摩羯的某一部分，天琴（或者说它的弦，因为琴壳曼尼利乌斯已经讲过）升起，产生精明的控诉者、审查细密、判决公正的法官；或者施刑、逼罪人招供的人。二十六、

With some Degree of Capricon, the Dolphin riseth, and breeds all sorts of Swimmers, such as are nimble and active, and perform feats of activity, either in the Water, or on Land. 27. Cepheus rising with some Degree of Aquarius, breeds Men of Morose Tempers, such as are design'd for Guardians, or Tutors, Tragick Poets, and sometimes Comedians, Stage-Players, Pantomimes, and all sorts of Actors. 28.

随摩羯的某一度，海豚升起，养育各种游泳者，敏捷活跃，在水中或陆上表演身手的技艺。二十七、刻甫斯随水瓶的某一度升起，养育性情阴郁的人，这样的人注定做监护人或教师、悲剧诗人，有时是喜剧作者、舞台演员、哑剧演员与各种演员。二十八、

With the twelfth Degree of Aquarius, the Eagle riseth, and breeds Men of the most violent Tempers, head-strong, and bloody, greedy of spoyl, and destroying every thing that opposeth them; under-Officers in an Army, and Armor-bearers to a General. 29. Cassiopeia rising with the twentieth Degree of Aquarius, breeds Founders in Metals, Goldsmiths, Iewellers, &c. 30. With the twelfth Degree of Pisces, Andromeda riseth, and breeds Goalers, and all sorts of Executioners, cruel, pitiless and bloody. 31.

随水瓶第十二度，天鹰升起，养育性情最暴烈的人，刚愎、嗜血，贪图掠夺，摧毁一切与他们作对的东西；军中的下级军官，将军的持盾者。二十九、卡西俄珀亚随水瓶第二十度升起，养育金属铸工、金匠、珠宝匠等等。三十、随双鱼第十二度，安德洛墨达升起，养育狱卒与各种行刑者，残忍、无情、嗜血。三十一、

With the twenty-first Degree of Pisces, the Horse riseth, and breeds strong, vigorous, active Men, excellent Horsemen, either for the Race or War, Farriers, and Physitians. 32. With the thirtieth Degree of Pisces, the kneeling Constellation, or Hercules appears; and his Births are Lewd, Treacherous Villains, given to no useful Arts, at best Iuglers and Rope-dancers. 33. With the same Degree of Pisces, the Whale riseth, and produceth Fishers, Fishmongers, makers of Salt, &c. 34.

随双鱼第二十一度，飞马升起，养育强壮、精力旺盛、活跃的人，出色的骑手，无论是赛马还是作战，还有蹄铁匠与医者。三十二、随双鱼第三十度，跪着的星群即赫拉克勒斯出现；他所生的人是淫邪奸诈的恶徒，不从事任何有用的技艺，至多是变戏法的与走绳的。三十三、随双鱼的同一度，鲸鱼升起，产生渔夫、鱼贩、制盐的人等等。三十四、

The Bears (Manilius tells us, what he means by their rising) are joyn'd with Leo and Scorpio, and breed such as are employ'd in breeding Beasts, and particularly Bears. 35. There follows a fragment, in which the Poet Treats of the several magnitudes or sizes of the Stars, that make up the several Constellations. It is confess'd that Manilius shews no great exactness in the Astronomical part of this Book. but the Astrology is perfect and. may for the most part be apply'd to the most correct Astronomy.

两熊（曼尼利乌斯告诉我们他所说的它们的升起是什么意思）与狮子和天蝎相连，养育从事饲养牲畜、尤其是饲养熊的人。三十五、接着是一段残篇，诗人在其中论述构成各星群的星的几种等级或大小。必须承认，曼尼利乌斯在本卷的天文部分并不怎么精确，但占星部分是完备的，大部分可以应用于最正确的天文学。

The design of the Fifth Book

［第五卷的构想］

HEre at the Signs, those Paths of yearly light, / Weak Minds would stop; nor dare a farther flight: / But through the Planets Orbs would take their Course / At one full stoop from Heaven, and mark their force; / What Mercury design'd, what Mars did dare, / Or Luna thought on in her Gloomy care:

到了这些星座，这些一年之光的路径，软弱的心智就会停下，不敢飞得更远：而会穿过行星的天球取道，从天上一口气俯冲下来，标出它们的力量；水星打算什么，火星敢做什么，月亮在她幽暗的忧思中想着什么：

What Sol would work, how Saturn look'd on Iove, / And Venus manag'd her Intriegue of Love: / No farther would their feeble Thoughts aspire, / And other Stars had roul'd unheeded Fire.

太阳要做成什么，土星怎样看待木星，金星怎样经营她爱情的计谋：他们软弱的思想不再向更高处追求，别的星就只好滚动着无人注意的火焰。

But since I'm once on wing, and rais'd on high, / I'll boldly soar, and compass all the Sky; / I'll visit every Star, and strive to know / Their proper Powers, and how they Rule below: / Avoid no labour, and no toyl refuse, / Whilst constant Industry can aid my Muse.

但既然我一旦展翅，升到高处，我就要大胆翱翔，环绕整个天空；我要拜访每一颗星，努力认识它们本有的力量，以及它们怎样统治下界：不躲避任何劳作，不拒绝任何辛苦，只要恒久的勤奋能帮助我的缪斯。

The Southern Constellations

［南天的星群］

Here vast Orion Heaven's great part, the Streams, / Whose Spacious Windings mix agreeing Beams; / The Hero's Ship which now midst Stars doth Sail, / The frightful Centaur, and the gaping Whale, / The Dog, whose Fires o're all the World are rould, / The watchful Keeper of the growing Gold;

这里有巨大的猎户，天的一大部分；有那河流，它宽广的曲折混合着相合的光线；有英雄们的船，如今在群星之间航行；可怕的半人马，张着大口的鲸鱼；那犬，它的火焰滚过全世界；还有那生长着的黄金的警醒看守者；

And Heaven's high Altar grac't with Gifts invite / My eager Muse to take a larger flight.

还有天上高高的祭坛，饰满祭品，都邀请我热切的缪斯作更远的飞翔。

The Northern Constellations

［北天的星群］

There where the Serpent twines betwixt the Bears, / Where rouls the Driver, and still minds his Cares: / Where slow Bootes drives his lingring Teams, / Or Ariadne's Crown spreads Heavenly Beams: / Where Perseus soars with Gorgon's Spoyls above, / And weilds his Fauchion to secure his Love:

在那里，大蛇在两熊之间盘绕；御夫在那里滚动，仍记挂着他的心事；迟缓的牧夫在那里赶着他迟迟的牛队，阿里阿德涅的冠冕在那里散布天上的光芒：珀尔修斯在那里带着戈耳工的战利品翱翔，挥舞他的弯刀保护他的爱人：

Where wretched Cepheus and his Wife beside / The fair Andromeda still Curse their Pride; / Or where oppos'd the scaly Dolphin lies / To the swift Shaft, or where the Eagle flies, / Or Starry Horse still runs, my Muse must move, / And boldly visit every Star above.

可怜的刻甫斯与他的妻子在那里，身旁是美丽的安德洛墨达，仍在诅咒他们的骄傲；或者在那里，有鳞的海豚与迅疾的箭相对，或者在那里鹰在飞翔，或者星的马仍在奔跑，我的缪斯都必须前去，大胆地拜访上面的每一颗星。

These I must Sing, their proper Powers explain, / How when they rise, how when they set they Reign: / And what Degrees they claim from every Sign, / And what extend their force, and what confine: / For when the World was Fram'd, the Mighty Cause / These Powers bestow'd, and did Enact these Laws;

这些我必须歌唱，说明它们本有的力量，它们升起时怎样统治，落下时又怎样统治：它们从每个星座要求哪些度数，哪些伸展它们的力量，哪些限制它：因为当世界被构造时，那伟大的原因赐予这些力量，制定这些法则；

How Signs should singly work, how Stars agree, / And settled all things by a firm Decree. / First Golden Aries Shines, (who whilst he swam

规定星座怎样单独起作用，群星怎样相合，以坚定的法令安排一切。首先金色的白羊发光（他游泳时

What Constellations rise with Aries

［哪些星群随白羊升起］

Lost part of's Freight, and gave the Sea a Name: / Whose Skin destroy'd himself, whose Golden Spoyl / Forc't fierce Medea, from her Native Soyl; / Then Magick Arts to Cholchis Shores confin'd / First Sail'd abroad, and Poyson swell'd the Wind:) / And now as Victor o're the Conquer'd Deep

失落了一部分货物，给那海起了名字：他的皮毁了他自己，他的金色战利品迫使凶猛的美狄亚离开故土；于是原本限于科尔基斯海岸的魔法技艺第一次航行出海，毒药使风也鼓胀起来：）如今作为征服深海的胜利者，

The Ship

［船］

He keeps his Power, and still Commands the Ship: / For when the Northern Rudder rears its Flame, / And in the fourth Degree, first joyns the Ram: / Who ever's born, shall be to Sail inclin'd, / He'll Plow the Ocean, and he'll tempt the Wind;

他保持他的力量，仍然统领那船：因为当北边的船舵升起它的火焰，在第四度第一次与白羊相会时；凡是那时出生的人，都将倾向航海，他将耕耘大洋，试探风浪；

He o're the Seas shall Love, or Fame pursue; / And other Months, another Phasis view: / Fixt to the Rudder, he shall boldly Steer, / And pass those Rocks which Tiphys us'd to fear.

他将在海上追求爱情或名声；在别的月份，看见另一条法西斯河：他将固守在舵边，大胆地掌舵，驶过提费斯曾经害怕的岩石。

Had no such Births been born Troy's Walls had stood, / No Wind-bound Navy, bought a Gale with Blood; / No Xerxes Persia o're the Ocean roul'd, / Dug a new Sea, nor yet confin'd an old.

如果不曾生出这样的人，特洛伊的城墙就会屹立，不会有被风困住的舰队用鲜血买得一阵风；不会有薛西斯的波斯滚过大洋，挖出一片新海，又束缚住一片旧海。

No Athens sunk by Syracusian Shores, / Nor Lybia's Seas been choakt with Punick Oars, / Nor had the World in doubt at Actium stood, / Nor Heaven's great: Fortune floated on the Flood: / Such Births as these their hopes to Seas resign, / Ships spread their Sails, and distant Nations joyn, / The World divided, mutual Wants invite / To close again; and Friendly Ships unite. / But when Orion on the left doth rise,

不会有雅典沉没在叙拉古的海岸边，利比亚的海也不会被布匿人的桨塞满，世界也不会在亚克兴犹疑不定，天的伟大命运也不会漂浮在洪流上：这样的人把希望交给大海，船只张开帆，把遥远的民族连在一起；被分开的世界，因相互的需要而重新结合，友好的船只把它们联合起来。但当猎户在左边升起，

Orion

［猎户］

Orion the large Portion of the Skies; / At whose appearance Day the Night invades, / And frighted Darkness folds her Gloomy Shades: / One fit for Business, quick of Mind is wrought, / Of Body nimble, and of Active Thought: / As if he were the People, all the Town / He shall inhabit, every House his own:

猎户，天的一大部分；他一出现，白昼就侵入黑夜，受惊的黑暗收起她幽暗的阴影：生出的人适于事务，心思敏捷，身体灵活，思想活跃：仿佛他就是全体人民，整座城他都要住遍，每户人家都是他自己的家：

And one Salute, when Morning peeps, extend / Through every Street, to All a Common Friend. / But when the Ram first shews thrice five Degrees,

他在清晨刚露曙光时，就把一声问候延伸到每一条街，是所有人共同的朋友。但当白羊初次显出三个五度时，

Heniochus, or the Driver

［赫尼俄科斯，即御夫］

The Driver rears his Chariot from the Seas; / And climbs that Steep, whence blustering Boreas brings / His North-East Blasts, and shakes their freezing Wings.

御夫从海中扬起他的战车；攀上那陡峭之处，从那里，呼啸的北风带来东北的狂风，抖动它们冰冷的翅膀。

He keeps his old Concern, and thence bestows / Those various Arts which here on Earth he chose.

他保持着旧日的关切，从那里赐予他在人间所选择的种种技艺。

To drive the Chariot, to direct the Course, / And hang with forward Lashes on the Horse; / Now press directly, now wheel nimbly round, / Out-strip the Wind, nor raise the dusty Ground; / Or cross athwart, and force the rest to yield, / Disperse the Crowd, and clear the gapeing Field:

驾驭战车，指挥赛程，挥着向前的鞭子俯身在马上；时而直冲，时而灵巧地转弯，超过风，却不扬起尘土；或者横穿过去，迫使别人让路，冲散人群，清出张着口的场地：

And tho' outstript, yet scorn to stoop to Fear, / But, drive on Hope, and leave behind Despair.

即使被超过，也不屑于屈从恐惧，而是驾着希望前进，把绝望抛在后面。

Or midst the Race from Horse to Horse to leap, / Sport o're their Backs, and fix the dangerous step: / Or Singly mounted break the Foaming Jaws, / Throw well the Dart, and force a just applause.

或者在赛程中从一匹马跳到另一匹马，在它们背上嬉戏，踏稳危险的一步：或者单骑驯服吐沫的马嘴，投好标枪，赢得应得的喝彩。

Hence influenc't at his Birth Salmoneus strove / To vye with Lightning, and to Rival Iove; / His Brazen Bridge, and Chariots fiercely hurl'd / Must roar like Thunder, and must shake the World.

由此，萨尔摩纽斯出生时受了他的影响，竟要与闪电比高，与朱庇特争胜；他的铜桥与猛烈奔驰的战车，必须像雷霆一样轰鸣，必须震动世界。

Vain the attempt: But yet his Pride was high, / And now he thought he had brought down the Sky: / Proudly he rode, but winged Bolts pursue, / And his feign'd Thunder's noise provok'd the True; / He fell, and by his sad Example shew'd / 'Twas Fate son Man, to be esteem'd a God.

徒劳的尝试：但他的骄傲很高，他以为自己已把天拉了下来：他骄傲地驾车，但带翅膀的霹雳追来，他假装的雷声激怒了真的雷霆；他倒下了，以他悲惨的榜样显示，一个凡人要被尊为神，就是招来厄运。

The fam'd Bellerophon first view'd the Light / When this appear'd, and took his Aery Flight: / O're Seas and Land he fled, and first began / Through pathless Skies, a way unknown to Man.

著名的柏勒洛丰在这个星群出现时初见光明，展开他空中的飞行：他飞越海洋与陆地，第一个开辟了穿过无路之天的路，一条人所不知的路。
