Dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty;
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare;(我爱你胜过自己的眼睛 整个的空间 和广大的自由)
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour;
As much as child e'er loved, or father found;(不曾有过一个女儿这样爱过他的父亲,也不曾有一个父亲这样被他女儿爱)
A love that makes breath poor, and speech unable;(这一种爱可以是唇舌无能为力,辩才失去效用)
Beyond all manner of so much I love you.(我爱您是不可以数量计算的)
LEAR
Of all these bounds, even from this line to this,
With shadowy forests and with champains rich'd,
With plenteous rivers and wide-skirted meads,
We make you lady: to thine and Albany's issue(在这些疆界以内 从这一条界线起都要奉你为它们的女主人,这一块土地永远为你和奥本尼的子孙所有)(写在地图上,就不用背了)
Our dearest Regan, Speak.
REGAN
Sir, I am made Of the self-same metal that my sister is,(我和姐姐具有同样的品质) And prize me at her worth. (您凭着她就可以判断我)In my true heart I find she names my very deed of love;(在我的真心 我觉得她刚才所说的话 正是我爱你的实际的情形) Only she comes too short:that I profess Myself an enemy to all other joys, Which the most precious square of sense possesses; (可是她还不能充分说明我的心理,我延期一切凡是敏锐的直觉所能感受到的快乐)
And find I am alone felicitate In your dear highness' love.(只有爱您才是我的无上的幸福)
KING LEAR
To you and thine hereditary ever
Remain this ample third of our fair kingdom;(就是这一块从我们这美好的王国中划分出来的三分之一的沃壤)
No less in space, validity, and pleasure,
