of envy

1.There be none of the affections情感, which have been noted to fascinate or bewitch, but love and envy. 世人历来注意到，所有情感中最令人神魂颠倒着莫过于爱情和嫉妒。

2.They both have vehement wishes激起强烈的欲望; they frame themselves readily into 转化成imaginations and suggestions联想和幻觉; and they come easily into the eye, especially upon the present of the objects; which are the points that conduce to fascination这些便是导致蛊惑的要点, if any such thing there be.这两种感情都会激起强烈的欲望，而且均可迅速转化成联想和幻觉，容易钻进世人的眼睛，尤其容易降到被爱被妒者身上；这些便是导致蛊惑的要点，如果世间真有蛊惑的话3.the Scripture calleth envy an evil eye毒眼; and the astrologers占星术, call the evil influences of the stars不吉星力, evil aspects凶象; so that still there seemeth to be acknowledged, in the act of envy, an ejaculation突出or irradiation泛光of the eye. 嫉妒者会眼红或曰红眼4.some have been so curious, as to note, that the times when the stroke or percussion冲击of an envious eye doth most hurt, 1.are when the party envied is beheld注视in glory踌躇满志or triumph春风得意; for that sets an edge upon 增其锐气envy:2. and besides, at such times the spirits of the person envied, do come forth most into the outward parts, and so meet the blow.被嫉妒者的情绪最溢于言表，因此最容易遭受打击而且有人更为明察秋毫，竟注意到红眼最伤人之际莫过于被嫉妒者正踌躇满志或春风得意之时，因为那种得意劲儿会使炉火燃得更旺。

另外在这种时候，被嫉妒者的情绪最溢于言表，因此最容易遭受打击。

But leaving these curiosities, we will handle, what persons are apt to envy others; what persons are most subject to be envied themselves; and what is the difference between public and private envy.但暂且不谈这些蹊跷之处（虽说这些蹊跷并非不值得在适当的场合思量思量），笔者在此只想探讨一下哪些人好嫉妒他人，哪些人会遭受嫉妒，以及公众的嫉妒和私人间的嫉妒有何不同5.A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. 自身无德者常嫉妒他人之德For men’s minds人心, will either feed upon滋养their own good, or upon others evil; and who wanteth缺少the one, will prey upon陷害the other; and whoso is out of hope无望, to attain to到达another’s virtue, will seek to come at even hand求得平衡, by depressing贬低another’s fortune.自身无德者常嫉妒他人之德，因为人心的滋养要么是自身之善，要么是他人之恶，而缺乏自身之善者必然要摄取他人之恶，于是凡无望达到他人之德行境地者便会极力贬低他人以求得平衡。

6.A man that is busy好管闲事, and inquisitive好深隐私者, is commonly envious. For to know much of other men’s matters, cannot be because all that ado may concern his own estate际遇因为劳神费力地去打探别人的事情绝非是由于那些事与打探者的利害有关; therefore it must needs be, that he taketh a kind of play-leasure 视剧般的乐趣, in looking upon the fortunes of others. Neither can he, that mindeth but his own business, find much matter for envy而一心只管自家事的人无甚嫉妒的由来. For envy is a gadding游荡的passion, and walketh the streets, and doth not keep home: Non est curiosus, quin idem sit malevolus.好管闲事者必定没安好心好管闲事且好深隐私者通常都好嫉妒，因为劳神费力地去打探别人的事情绝非是由于那些事与打探者的利害有关，所以其原因必定是打探者在旁观他人祸福时能获得一种视剧般的乐趣。

而一心只管自家事的人无甚嫉妒的由来，因为嫉妒是一种爱游荡的感情，它总在街头闲逛，不肯呆在家里，所以古人说："好管闲事者必定没安好心。

"7.Men of noble birth出身贵族者, are noted to be envious towards new men, when they rise. For the distance is altered, and it is like a deceit欺骗of the eye, that when others come on, they think themselves, go back.出身贵族者在新人晋爵时常生妒意，因为两者之间的差距缩短；而且这就像是看朱成碧，明明是别人上升，他们却看成是自己下降。

8.Deformed persons残疾人, and eunuchs宦官, and old men, and bastards私生子, are envious. For he that cannot possibly mend his own case弥补自身缺陷, will do what he can, to impair破坏another’s ; except these defects light upon a very brave, and heroical nature, which thinketh to make his natural wants part of his honor除非有上述缺陷者具有勇敢无畏的英雄气概，有志把自身的固有缺陷变成其荣誉之一部分; in that it should be said, that an eunuch, or a lame man, did such great matters; affecting the honor of a miracle; as it was in Narses the eunuch, and Agesilaus and Tamberlanes, that were lame men.宦官、老人、残疾者和私生子都好嫉妒，因没法弥补自身缺陷的人总要干方百计给别人也造成缺陷，除非有上述缺陷者具有勇敢无畏的英雄气概，有志把自身的固有缺陷变成其荣誉之一部分。

这样人们就会说：某宦官或瘸子竟创下如此殊勋伟业；正如宦官纳西斯以及瘸子阿偈西劳和帖木儿曾努力求得奇迹般的荣誉一样①。

9.The same is the case of men, that rise after calamities and misfortunes. For they are as men fallen out with the times时代的落伍者; and think other men’sharms, a redemption补偿of their own sufferings.在大苦大难后升迁的人也好嫉妒，因为他们就像时代的落伍者似的，以为别人受到伤害就可补偿自己曾经历的苦难。

10.They that desire to excel in胜过too many matters, out of levity轻薄and vain glory自负, are ever envious. For they cannot want work; it being impossible, but many, in some one of those things, should surpass超过them. Which was the character of Adrian the Emperor; that mortally envied poets, and painters, and artificers技师, in works wherein he had a vein to excel.那些因其轻薄和自负而想在各方面都胜过他人者亦常嫉妒，因为他们绝不会缺少嫉妒的对象，在他们想争胜的诸多方面之某一方面，不可能没有许多人会胜过他们。

罗马皇帝哈德良就是这种嫉妒者，他善诗画和工艺，因此他非常嫉妒真正的诗人、画家和技师。

stly, near kinsfolk同族亲友s, and fellows in office, and those that have been bred together, are more apt to envy their equals, when they are raised. For it doth upbraid苛责unto them their own fortunes, and pointeth指责at them 平辈的升迁不啻是在批评自己的身份，是在对自己进行指责, and cometh oftener into their remembrance, and incurreth引起likewise more into the note of others; and envy ever redoubleth from speech and fame而旁人对这种升迁的传扬往往会令嫉妒者妒意更浓. Cain’s该隐envy was the more vile 卑鄙and malignant邪恶, towards his brother Abel亚伯, because when his sacrifice was better accepted, there was no body to look on. Thus much for those, that are apt to envy.//最后还有同族亲友、官场同僚和少时伙伴，这些人在平辈人升迁时更容易产生嫉妒。
