The History of Prince Giglio and Prince Bulbo

He came in just as she had done; and as soon as he saw her, ‘O! O! O! O! O! What a beyou—oo—ootiful creature you are! You angel—you peri—you rosebud, let me be thy bulbul—thy Bulbo, too! Fly to the desert, fly with me! I never saw a young gazelle to glad me with its dark blue eye that had eyes like thine. Thou nymph of beauty, take, take this young heart. A truer never did itself sustain within a soldier’s waistcoat. Be mine! Be mine! Be Princess of Crim Tartary! My royal father will approve our union: and, as for that little carrotty-haired Angelica, I do not care a fig for her any more.’
玫瑰一朵,指环一枚——溜溜王子和波波王子的故事
威廉·梅克皮斯·萨克雷
第九章(节选)
波波王子走进房间时,女仆贝贝刚把活儿干完。他一看见她,就喊起来:“噢!噢!噢!噢!噢!好一个漂——噢——亮的姑娘!你这小天使——小仙子——含苞的玫瑰,我要做那夜莺把你歌唱——我就是你的波波!我们双双出逃吧,奔向无边的大漠!瞪羚深蓝的眼睛再纯真,也不如你的那么动我的心。啊,美丽的少女,我这颗年轻的心属于你,战士胸膛里跳动的心啊,再没有一颗比它更赤诚。答应我!答应我!做我克里米亚鞑靼的王妃!咱们的婚事我父王一定不会反对:那个小红毛儿安琪公主,让她歇吧,我再也不要看她一眼。”
(溜溜王子听到动静,也来看个究竟,他也被贝贝迷住,于是两位王子展开对骂)
‘You dare to kneel down at Princess Giglio’s knees and kiss her hand!’
‘She’s not Princess Giglio! ’ roars out Bulbo. ‘She shall be Princess Bulbo, no other shall be Princess Bulbo.’
‘You are engaged to my cousin!’ bellows out Giglio.
‘I hate your cousin,’ says Bulbo.
‘You shall give me satisfaction for insulting her!’ cries Giglio in a fury.
‘I‘ll have your life.’
‘I’ll run you through.’
‘I’ll cut your throat.’
‘I’ll blow your brains out.’
‘I’ll knock your head off.’
‘I’ll send a friend to you in the morning.’
‘I’ll send a bullet into you in the afternoon.’
“你胆敢向我的贝贝献媚,她可是未来的溜溜王妃!”
“溜溜王妃!”波波王子咆哮道,“贝贝是未来的波波王妃,除了她,谁也别想当我的新娘!”
“哼,你未来的新娘是我表妹安琪公主,你俩已经订婚了!”溜溜喊。
“安琪个鬼,”波波说。
“敢骂我表妹,有你的好看!”溜溜大怒。
波波:“我要了你的命。”
溜溜:“我一剑把你刺穿。”
波波:“我砍断你喉咙。”
溜溜:“我敲出你脑浆。”
波波:“我把你脑袋打飞。”
溜溜:“你等着,明天天亮我就跟你挑战。”
波波:“你等着,明天下午就让你吃枪子。”
