2 Celebration in Cyprus

Chapter 2 Celebration in Cyprus Huge waves and wild winde later the shore of Cyprus. Most of the ships from Venice had arrived safely- but Othello's was missing, delayed by the storm. Desdemona waited anxiously. When Othello finally appeared, she rushed into his arms.

第二章塞浦路斯的庆祝活动后来塞浦路斯海岸掀起巨浪，狂风大作。 大多数从威尼斯来的船都安全抵达了，但奥赛罗的船却不见了，被暴风雨耽搁了。 苔丝狄蒙娜焦急地等待着。 当奥赛罗终于出现时，她扑进了他的怀里。

Othello turned to his troops. "Good news," he announced. "All the Turkish ships sank in the storm, and I am married! Let there be dancing and feasting and bonfires tonight, to celebrate." "Time to make trouble," thought lago slyly. "Now, where's Cassio?"

奥赛罗转向他的部队。 “好消息，”他宣布。 “所有的土耳其船只都在风暴中沉没了，我结婚了！”今晚让我们跳舞、宴会和篝火庆祝吧。” “是时候制造麻烦了，”拉戈狡黠地想。 “凯西奥在哪儿？”

lago found Cassio on his way to the fort. "Have some wine with me," he said. "Not tonight," replied Cassio. "I'll a poor head for drink." "Nonsense," persisted lago. "It's a special occasion." "Just one then," agreed Cassio, allowing lago to pull him into a nearby tavern.

拉戈在去堡垒的路上遇见了凯西奥。 “跟我喝点酒吧，”他说。 “今晚不行，”凯西奥回答。 “我想喝点什么。” “胡说，”拉戈坚持说。 “这是一个特殊的场合。” “那就一个吧。”凯西奥同意了，让拉戈把他拉进了附近的一家小酒馆。

Each time Cassio tried to put down his glass, lago filled it for another toast. "To General Othello!" Eventually Cassio staggered off in the direction of the fort. "Cassio would be a great officer," lago remarked loudly to everyone around him. "If only he wasn't such a drunkard." There were shouts in the street outside. On lago's instructions, Roderigo had insulted Cassio. Then Roderigo ran into the tavern, with Cassio in hot pursuit. "Stop," laughed a soldier, catching Cassio's arm. "You're drunk." "Drunk?" roared Cassio, waving his fists. "I'll give you drunk!" lago smiled as they began to fight. "Time to fetch Othello," he thought. Othello was furious to find his soldiers brawling in public. "Stop!" he bellowed. "Iago, tell me- who started this?" Iago pretended to hesitate.

每次凯西奥想放下酒杯，拉戈就把它斟满，准备再喝一杯。 “给奥赛罗将军！”最后，凯西奥摇摇晃晃地朝堡垒的方向走去。 “凯西奥会成为一个伟大的军官的，”拉戈大声对他周围的人说。 “要是他不是这样一个酒鬼就好了。” 外面的街道上传来了喊叫声。 罗德利哥遵照拉古的吩咐，侮辱了凯西奥。 接着，罗德力戈跑进小酒馆，凯西奥在后面紧追不舍。 “站住，”一个士兵笑着抓住凯西奥的胳膊。 “你喝醉了。”“醉了？”凯西奥挥舞着拳头吼道。 “我要把你灌醉！”拉戈笑着说，他们开始打架。 “该去找奥赛罗了，”他想。 奥赛罗看到他的士兵们在公共场合争吵，大为光火。 “住手！”他吼道。“伊阿古，告诉我——是谁挑起的？”伊阿古假装犹豫。

"I won't blame Cassio... he must have been provoked." Othello nodded curtly. "Cassio, you are no longer my officer!" And with that, he left.

“我不怪凯西奥……他一定是被激怒了。” 奥赛罗简短地点了点头。“凯西奥，你不再是我的军官了！”说完，他就走了。

Cassio bowed his head in despair. lago put an arm around him. "Othello will forgive you if you ask." "I couldn't," sighed Cassio. "Then get Desdemona to ask," suggested lago. "Othello would do anything for her." "I will," nodded Cassio. "Thank you, honest lago."

凯西奥绝望地低下了头。 拉戈伸出一只胳膊搂住了他。 “如果你请求，奥赛罗会原谅你的。” “我不能，”凯西奥叹了口气。 “那就让苔丝狄蒙娜去问吧，”拉戈建议道。 “奥赛罗愿意为她做任何事。” “我会的，”凯西奥点点头。“谢谢你，诚实的拉戈。”
