潘达洛斯及一仆人上。
Padlock and a servant
潘达洛斯
Padlock
喂，朋友！
Hello, friend!

对不起，请问一声，你是跟随帕里斯王子的吗？
Excuse me, do you follow Prince Paris?
仆人
Servant
是的，老爷，他走在我前面的时候，我就跟在他后面。
Yes, sir, I followed him when he was walking in front of me.
潘达洛斯
Padlock

我的意思是说，你是靠他吃饭的吗？
I mean, do you rely on him for dinner?
仆人
Servant
老爷，我是靠天吃饭的。
Sir, I rely on heaven.
潘达洛斯
Pandalos
你依靠着一位贵人，我必须赞美他。
You rely on a noble person, and I must praise him.

仆人
Servant
愿赞美归于上帝！
Praise be to God!
潘达洛斯
Pandalos
你认识我吗？
Do you know me?

仆人
Servant
说老实话，老爷，我不过在外表上认识您。
To be honest, sir, I only know you on the surface.
潘达洛斯
Pandalos
朋友，我们大家应当熟悉一点。
Friends, we should all be familiar with one thing.

我是潘达洛斯老爷。
I am Lord Pandalos.
仆人
Servant
我希望以后跟您老爷熟悉一点。
I hope to be familiar with your master later.
潘达洛斯
Pandalos

那很好。
That would be great.
仆人
Servant
您是一位殿下吗？
Are you a highness?
潘达洛斯
Pandalos

殿下！ 不，朋友，你只可以叫我老爷或是大人。
Your highness! No, friend, you can only call me master or adult.
（内乐声）这是什么音乐？
(inner music) what kind of music is this?
仆人
Servant
我不大知道，老爷，我想那是数部合奏的音乐。
I don't know, sir, I think it's music in several ensembles.

潘达洛斯
Pandalos
你认识那些奏乐的人吗？
Do you know those who play music?
仆人
Servant
我全都认识，老爷。
I know all of you, sir.

潘达洛斯
Pandalos
他们奏乐给谁听？
Who do they play to?
仆人
Servant
他们奏给听音乐的人听，老爷。
They played to the listeners, sir.

潘达洛斯
Pandalos
是谁想听这音乐，朋友？
Who wants to listen to this music, friend?
仆人
Servant
我想听，还有爱音乐的人也想听。
I want to hear it, and people who love music want to hear it.

呃，老爷，是我的主人帕里斯叫他们奏的，他就在里面；那位人间的维纳斯，美的心血，爱的微妙的灵魂，也陪着他在一起。
Well, sir, it was my master Paris who told them to play it, and he was there; and Venus of the world, the blood of beauty, the subtle soul of love, was with him.
潘达洛斯
Pandalos
谁，我的甥女克瑞西达吗？
Who, my niece, corecda?
仆人
Servant

不，老爷，是海伦；您听了我形容她的话还不知道吗？
No, sir, it's Helen; have you heard what I described her?
潘达洛斯
Pandalos
朋友，看来你还没有见过克瑞西达小姐。
Friend, it seems that you have not seen Miss corissida.
我是奉特洛伊罗斯王子之命来见帕里斯的；我的事情急得像热锅里的沸水，来不及等你进去通报了。
I came to Paris on the order of Prince Troilos; I was so anxious that I couldn't wait for you to come in and announce.
