6、 shall his wrath or might Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace With suppliant knee, and deifie his power Who from the terrour of this Arm so late Doubted his Empire, that were low indeed;,Satans Speech-I,That were an ignominy and shame beneath This downfall; since by fate the strength of gods An

7、d this empyreal substance cannot fail, Since through experience of this great event, In arms not worse, in foresight much advanced, We may with more successful hope resolve To wage by force or guile eternal war, Irreconcilable to our grand Foe, Who now triumphs, and in the excess of joy Sole reignin

8、g holds the tyranny of Heaven.,我们损失了什么？ 并不是一无所剩： 坚定的意志、热切的复仇心、不灭的憎恨， 以及永不屈服、永不退让的勇气， 难道还有比这些更难战胜的吗？ 我这份光荣绝不能被夺走， 不管是他的暴怒，还是威力。 经过这一次惨烈的战争， 好容易才使他的政权动摇； 若是这时还要卑躬屈膝， 向他乞求哀怜，拜倒在他的权力之下， 那才真正是卑鄙、可耻， 比这次的沉沦还要卑贱。,因为我们具有与生俱来的神力， 赋有轻清的灵质，不能朽坏， 还因这次事件的教训， 我们要准备更优良的武器， 更高明的远见，更有成功的希望， 以暴力或智力向我们的大敌 挑起不可调解的持久战争。

9、 他现在正沉湎于成功，得意忘形， 独揽大权，在天上掌握虐政呢。,courageous,powerful,leadership,There is in his speech the heroic spirit of a fighter who is destroyed but never defeated.,capable,eloquent,Fallen Cherub, to be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering: but of this be sure- To do aught good never will be our task, But eve

10、r to do ill our sole delight, As being the contrary to high will Whom we resist. If then his Providence Out of our evil seek to bring forth good, Our labor must be to pervert that end, And out of good still to find means of evil; Which of times may succeed, so as perhaps Shall grieve him, if I fail

11、not, and disturb His inmost counsels from their destined aim,Satans Speech-II,But see! the angry Victor hath recalled His ministers of vengeance and pursuit Back to the gates of Heaven; the sulphurous hail, Shot after us in storm, oerblown hath laid The fiery surge that from the precipice Of Heaven

12、received us falling;,There rest, if any rest can harbour there; And, reassembling our afflicted powers, Consult how we may henceforth most offend Our Enemy, our own loss how repair, How overcome this dire calamity, What reinforcement we may gain from hope, If not, what resolution from despair.,坠落的基路

13、伯呀，示弱是可悲的。 无论做事或受苦。 行善决不是我们的任务， 做恶才是我们惟一的乐事， 这一条是确切的。 反抗我们敌对者的高强意志。 如果他想要从我们的恶中寻找善的话， 我们的事业的目标就得颠倒， 就要探寻由善到恶的途径。 这定会屡次奏效， 使他烦恼，搅乱他周密的计划， 使它们对不准所预定的目标， 如果我不失算的话。你看， 那愤怒的胜利者已经把复仇和袭击的使者召回天界； 暴风雨般追击我们的硫磺火霰渐渐平静了，,迎接我们从天界的悬崖上坠落下来的火焰的洪波也平息些了， 赭红的闪电和狂暴的愤怒，也日渐消逝了， 带翅膀的轰雷，大概因为已经用完了弹头， 现在已经不在这广阔无边的深渊中吼响了。 不管这是

14、由于敌人的轻蔑， 或者是由于他气头已过的机会， 我们都不要放过这个机会。 你没有看见那一片寂寞、荒凉、人迹罕至的原野吗？ 这里不见亮光，只有这么一些黯淡的火星， 闪着青灰色的，可怕的幽光。 我们往那儿去，一避火浪的冲击，,能休息就休息，重新集合我们疲惫不堪的队伍， 大家讨论，如何给敌人更大的破坏， 如何挽回我们的损失， 如何战胜这个恐怖的灾难， 从希望中可以获取些帮助， 或从失望中得到决策。,To do aught good never will be our task, But ever to do ill our sole delight 行善决不是我们的任务， 做恶才是我们惟一的乐事,e
