《能言马与男孩》第83期:可笑的拉巴达什(2)  

Rabadash was brought before them in chains. To look at him anyone would have supposed that he had passed the night in a noisome dungeon without food or water; but in reality he had been shut up in quite a fortable room and provided with an excellent supper. But as he was sulking far too furiously to touch the supper and had spent the whole night stamping and roaring and cursing
he naturally did not now look his best.
"Your royal Highness needs not to be told
" said King Lune
"that by the law of nations as well as by all reasons of prudent policy
we have as good right to your head as ever one mortal man had against another. Nevertheless
in consideration of your youth and the ill nurture
devoid of all gentilesse and courtesy
which you have doubtless had in the land of slaves and tyrants
we are disposed to set you free
unharmed
on these conditions: first
that-"
"Curse you for a barbarian dog!" spluttered Rabadash. "Do you think I will even hear your conditions? Faugh! You talk very largely of nurture and I know not what. It's easy
to a man in chains
ha! Take off these vile bonds
give me a sword
and let any of you who dares then debate with me."
“我咒骂你这野蛮的狗东西！“拉巴达什唾沫四溅地嚷嚷道，”你以为我会听你的条件吗?呸！你大谈天性和其他不知所云的话。对一个用链条束缚着的人说这种话是容易的，哼！解开这些该死的链条，给我一把剑，那时，你们哪一个敢来和我辩论！”
Nearly all the lords sprang to their feet
and Corin shouted:
"Father! Can I box him? Please."
"Peace! Your Majesties! My Lords!" said King Lune. "Have we no more gravity among us than to be so chafed by the taunt of a pajock? Sit down
Corin
or shaft leave the table. I ask your Highness again
to hear our conditions."
"I hear no conditions from barbarians and sorcerers
" said Rabadash. "Not one of you dare touch a hair of my head. Every insult you have heaped on me shall be paid with oceans of Narnian and Archenlandish blood. Terrible shall the vengeance of the Tisroc be: even now. But kill me
and the burnings and torturings in these northern lands shall bee a tale to frighten the world a thousand years hence. Beware! Beware! Beware! The bolt of Tash falls from above!"
"Does it ever get caught on a hook half-way?" asked Corin.
"Shame
Corin
" said the King. "Never taunt a man save when he is stronger than you: then
as you please."
"Oh you foolish Rabadash
" sighed Lucy.
Next moment Cor wondered why everyone at the table had risen and was standing perfectly still. Of course he did the same himself. And then he saw the reason. Aslan was among them though no one had seen him ing. Rabadash started as the immense shape of the Lion paced softly in beeen him and his accusers.
"Rabadash
" said Aslan. "Take heed. Your doom is very near
but you may still avoid it. Fet your pride (what have you to be proud of?) and your anger (who has done you wrong?) and accept the mercy of these good kings."
Then Rabadash rolled his eyes and spread out his mouth into a horrible
long mirthless grin like a shark
and wagged his ears up and down (anyone can Learn how to do this if they take the trouble). He had always found this very effective in Calormen. The bravest had trembled when he made these faces
and ordinary people had fallen to the floor
and sensitive people had often fainted. But what Rabadash hadn't realized is that it is very easy to frighten people who know you can have them boiled alive the moment you give the word. The grimaces didn't look at all alarming in Archenland; indeed Lucy only thought Rabadash was going to be sick.
"Demon! Demon! Demon!" shrieked the Prince. "I know you. You are the foul fiend of Narnia. You are the enemy of the gods. Learn who I am
horrible phantasm. I am descended from Tash
the inexorable
the irresistible. the curse of Tash is upon you. Lightning in the shape of scorpions shall be rained on you. The mountains of Narnia shall be ground into dust. The-"
"Have a care
Rabadash
" said Aslan quietly. "The doom is nearer now: it is at the door: it has lifted the latch."
"Let the skies fall
" shrieked Rabadash. "Let the earth gape! Let blood and fire obliterate the world! But be sure I will never desist till I have dragged to my palace by her hair the barbarian queen
the daughter of dogs
the -"
"The hour has struck
" said Aslan: and Rabadash saw
to his supreme horror
that everyone had begun to laugh.
