不说那泰尔的人民，
Not to mention the people of Tyre,
怎样欢迎她的旧君；
How to welcome her old king;
不说那薄命的王后
Not to mention the queen of life
在尼庵中凄凉苦守；
Desperate in Nirvana;
单表小小的玛丽娜
Single table small marina
早已长成豆蔻年华，
It has grown into a cardamom,

那克里翁不负重托，
That Kryon does not bear the heavy burden,
把这公主悉心教育，
Carefully educate the princess,
亏她生得剔透玲珑，
She was born to be sloppy,
音乐文艺色色精通，
Musical literary color is proficient,
那卓越的才华仪态
That outstanding talent
赢得每个人的敬爱。
Win the respect of everyone.

可叹那嫉妒的妖精
Sighing leprechaun
又在施展它的祸心！
Also exerting its curse!
克里翁有个女公子，
Kryon has a female son.
菲萝登是她的名字，
Firden is her name,
这时已经待嫁闺中，
At this time, I am already married.

和玛丽娜形影相从：
And the image of Marina:
她们有时并肩共织，
They sometimes sew together side by side,
赌赛着玉指的纤洁；
The gambling game is the cleanliness of the jade finger;
她们有时拈针共绣，
They sometimes stitch together,
争夸着灵秀的心手；
Fighting for the heart of the show;

有时抚琴同唱新声，
Sometimes the piano sings new sounds.
羞杀了哀吟的夜莺；
Shameful of the mourning nightingale;
有时执笔同赋新诗，
Sometimes writing a new poem,
歌颂着月殿的神姬。
Singing the god of the moon temple.
这菲萝登好胜心强，
This Firden is so strong,

她总想争一日之长；
She always wants to fight for a day;
无奈她乌鸦的羽毛
Helpless her crow feathers
怎么能和白鸽比皎？
How can you compare with a white pigeon?
只有玛丽娜的敏慧
Only Marina's sensitive and intelligent

受尽了众人的赞美；
Fear of praise from all;
菲萝登在相形之下
Firden is in contrast
大大地减低了声价。
Greatly reduced the price of sound.
她的母亲因妒成憎，
Her mother became a member of the family,

陡起了杀人的心情，
Steep up the murderous mood,
她想把玛丽娜去除，
She wants to remove Marina,
便可让她女儿独步，
Let her daughter be alone,
这阴谋还正在酝酿，
This conspiracy is still brewing,

利科丽达又告身丧，
Likolida was mourned again.
可怜那孤零的公主，
Poor lonely princess,
她的生命危在朝暮。
Her life is in danger of pilgrimage.
那恶妇的毒计猖狂
The evil woman’s poison is rampant
究竟能否如愿以偿？
Can you get what you want?

这以后的事移境变，
After this, things will change,
自有伶工们的扮演。
The role of self-employed people.
俺老汉啊荒腔走韵，
The old man is ridiculous,
惭愧有渎看官清听，
I have a look at the official,

谢列位大度的包容，
Thank you for your generosity,
才把俺的漏洞弥缝。
Only the loopholes of the flaws were sewed.
这厢来了狄奥妮莎，
This room comes to Dionyssa.
里奥宁是她的爪牙。（下。）
Rionin is her minion. (under.)

第一场塔萨斯。
The first Tasas.
海滨附近旷地
Squatting near the waterfront
狄奥妮莎及里奥宁上。
Dionyssa and Rionin.
狄奥妮莎
Dionyssa
记着你已经发誓干这件事；那不过是一举手之劳，永远不会有人知道。
Remember that you have vowed to do this; it is just a handy work, and no one will ever know.

世上再没有这样便宜事儿，又简单，又干脆，一下子就可以使你得到这么多的好处。
There is no such cheap thing in the world, simple, and simply, you can get so many benefits at once.
不要让那冷冰冰的良心在你的胸头激起了怜惜的情绪；也不要让慈悲，那甚至于为妇女们所唾弃的东西，软化了你；你要像一个军人一般，坚决执行你的使命。
Don't let the cold conscience stir up pity on your chest; don't let compassion, even the things that are spurned for women, soften you; you must be like a soldier, resolutely carry out your mission .
里奥宁
Rionin
我说干就干；可是她是一个很好的姑娘哩。
I said to do it; but she is a very good girl.

狄奥妮莎
Dionyssa
那就更应该让她跟天神们作伴去。
Then let her go with the gods.
瞧她因为哀悼她的保姆，哭哭啼啼地来了。
She screamed and cried because she mourned her babysitter.
你决定了吗？
Have you decided yet?
