There's no man in the world more bound to his mother,

这世上没有比同母亲再亲密的关系
yet here he lets me prate like one in the stocks!

现在他却让我像一个囚犯一样喋喋不休
Thou hast never, in thy life, shown thy dear mother any courtesy,

你从未尽过一点儿孝
when she, poor hen, has clucked thee to the wars

她却像一头痴心爱着它头胎雏儿的母鸡似的
and safely home loaded with honor.

把你教养成人送你上战场迎接你凯旋
Say my request's unjust and spurn me back, but if it be not so...

若是我的请求不合理你可以挥斥我回去
...thou art not honest and the gods will plague thee,

否则你就是不忠不孝天神将要降祸于你
that thou restrains from

因为你不曾向你的母亲
me the duty which to a mother's part belongs.

尽一个人子的义务
Down, ladies. Let us shame him with our knees!

跪下吧让我们的下跪羞辱他
Down!

跪下
This is the last.

这是最后的请求
