§subject_3The result is of course a happy explanation on all sides.
结果自然是各方皆大欢喜的圆满结局。
Thais is taken under Laches’ protection, and continues her intimacy with Phaedria.
泰丝得到了拉刻斯的庇护,并继续与菲德里亚保持亲密关系。
Chaerea and Pamphila marry.
凯雷亚和潘菲拉结为夫妻。
Parmeno is forgiven by his grateful young master: and the only person who suffers is the unfortunate Thraso, who is beaten clean off the field, and is only too glad to submit to be the perpetual butt of these young sparks, on condition that he shall be allowed to be one in their parties, and thus still enjoy the society of Thais.
帕尔梅诺得到了感激他的年轻主人的原谅;而唯一受苦的是不幸的色拉索,他被彻底打败,只要被允许加入他们的聚会,从而继续与泰丝交往,他就乐于屈从,成为这些年轻小伙子们永久的笑柄。
This is the outline of the play, which gives a very lively and amusing action.
这就是本剧的梗概,它展现了非常生动有趣的情节。
But the most admirable feature is the manner in which some of the subordinate parts are worked out.
但最令人赞赏的特征是,一些次要角色和情节的处理方式。
The bye-play between Pythias and Parmeno is admirable.
皮提亚斯与帕尔梅诺之间的对手戏极其精彩。
The character of the Parasite as drawn in Act II. scene ii. is admirable, and striking from its novelty after the hackneyed ideal which is presented to us in all the plays of Plautus.
第二幕第二场中所刻画的寄生虫角色令人赞叹,在普劳图斯所有剧作中呈现给我们的陈词滥调式典型形象之后,其新颖性令人瞩目。
No less admirable is the Braggadocio of Act III. scene i. , the features of the character being the same as those of the Miles Gloriosus of Plautus, except that Terence with greater humour makes Thraso prouder of his wit than of his military exploits.
同样令人赞赏的是第三幕第一场中的大言不惭者,其性格特征与普劳图斯的《吹牛军人》相同,不同之处在于泰伦提乌斯以更大的幽默感,使色拉索为自己的机智而非军事功绩感到自豪。
The scene in which Thraso is represented as attacking Thais in her house (Act IV. scene vii. ) is highly ridiculous, and reminds one more strongly than any passage of Terence of the free humour of Aristophanes.
色拉索被描绘为在她家中袭击泰丝的场景(第四幕第七场)极其荒诞可笑,比泰伦提乌斯的任何其他段落都更能让人强烈地联想到阿里斯托芬那自由放浪的幽默。
We cannot wonder that the Eunuchus should have been the most popular of all Terence’s plays: for here there is the nearest approach to the "Plautini sales," which were the true Roman comedy.
我们不难理解《宦官》为何是泰伦提乌斯所有剧作中最受欢迎的一部:因为在这里最接近作为真正罗马喜剧的“普劳图斯式的俏皮话”。
It is said to have been purchased by the Aediles for the sum of 8000 sesterces (above 64 £ 10 s. sterling), the largest sum which had been given for any play.
据说该剧被市政官以8000塞斯特斯(合64英镑10先令以上)的价格购买,这是为任何戏剧所支付的最大一笔款项。
The leading incident of the plot makes it unfit for the modern stage: but when we say this we say all that can be said against the play.
剧情的主要事件使其不适合现代舞台:但当我们说这一点时,也就说尽了对该剧所能提出的所有批评。
The execution is highly delicate, even in the famous scene which describes the successful issue of Chaerea’s scheme.
艺术处理极其细腻,即使是在描写凯雷亚计谋成功的那个著名场景中也是如此。
The play is said by the author of the Life of Terence to have been acted twice in one day: and no doubt it was acted on more than one occasion.
《泰伦提乌斯传》的作者称该剧曾于一天内上演两次:毫无疑问,它不止在一次场合上演过。
