These hairs which thou dost ravish from my chin
Will quicken and accuse thee. I am your host.

Because I would not see thy cruèl nails
Pluck out his poor old eyes, nor thy fierce sister
In his anointed flesh stick boarish fangs.
因为我不想看到你那残忍的指甲拔掉他那可怜老人的眼睛，也不想看到你那凶猛的妹妹在他被圣油涂抹的肉体上咬下野猪般的尖牙。

The sea, with such a storm as his bare head
In hell-black night endured, would have buoyed up,
And quenched the stellèd fires.
就像他那裸露的头顶在黑夜中经受的暴风雨，本可以托起海水，熄灭那些星星般的火焰一样。

Yet poor old heart, he holp the heavens to rain.
If wolves had at thy gate howled that stern time,
Thou shouldst have said, “Good porter, turn the key,”
然而可怜的老人心，他帮助天空降雨。如果那些狼在你的大门外嚎叫，你本该说：“好门卫啊，把钥匙转一转。”

All cruèls else subscribed. But I shall see
The wingèd vengeance overtake such children.
所有的残忍就此画上句号。但我将看到有翅膀的复仇追上那些孩子。

Upon these eyes of thine I’ll set my foot.

Oh, I am slain!—My lord, you have one eye left
To see some mischief on him. Oh!
[dies]
哦，我被杀了！——我的主，你还有一只眼睛，可以看看他遭受的灾难。哦！ [死了]

Cornwall（康沃尔）
Lest it see more, prevent it. Out, vile jelly!
[plucks out Gloucester’s other eye]
Where is thy luster now?
以免它看到更多，阻止它。出去吧，卑鄙的果冻！ [拔掉格洛斯特的另一只眼睛] 你的光彩现在在哪里？

Gloucester（格洛斯特）
All dark and comfortless. Where’s my son Edmund?
Edmund, enkindle all the sparks of nature
To quit this horrid act.
到处都是黑暗和绝望。我的儿子爱德蒙在哪里？爱德蒙，点燃自然界所有的火花，来结束这恐怖的行为。

Regan（里根）
Out, treacherous villain!
Thou call’st on him that hates thee.
出去吧，背叛者！你呼唤的是恨你的人。

It was he
That made the overture of thy treasons to us,
Who is too good to pity thee.

Gloucester（格洛斯特）
O my follies! Then Edgar was abused.
Kind gods, forgive me that, and prosper him!
哦，我的愚蠢！那么爱德加被冤枉了。善良的神啊，请原谅我的过错，并赐福给他！

Upon the dunghill.—
把那个没有眼睛的恶棍扔出去。把这个奴隶丢到粪堆上——

If she live long,
And in the end meet the old course of death,
Women will all turn monsters.
如果她活得久，最终以普通的死亡告终，女人们都会变成怪物。

Let’s follow the old earl, and get the Bedlam
To lead him where he would. His roguish madness
Allows itself to any thing.
