which side should win.

可是总免不了一个悲惨的结果
For either thou must, as a foreign recreant,

我们不是看见你像一个通敌的叛徒一般
be led with manacles through our streets,

戴上镣铐牵过市街
or else,

就是看见
triumphantly, tread on thy country's ruin,

你意气扬扬地践踏在祖国的废墟上
and bear the palm for having bravely shed

高举着胜利的旗帜
thy wife and children's blood.

因为你已经勇敢地溅了你妻子儿女的血
For myself... son...

至于我儿啊
...I purpose not to wait on fortune till these wars determine.

我不愿等候命运宣判战争的最后胜负
If I cannot persuade thee rather to show a noble grace

如果我不能劝服你
to both parts than seek the end to one,

使你放弃了陷一个国家于灭亡的行动
thou shalt no sooner march to assault thy country

那么我决不让你侵犯你的国家
