第九十八招

 

98. It happens sometimes, that when one has been the guest of Honest people, and is going home, and especially at the Universities, when one has joined together in a group, that one comes to some misfortune, there it is often conducive, when one of the others is not good, and seeks to envy, so that several honest fellows, thus at night, must leave their hair, or probably even give up their life, as I have experienced this same in my time. But should such occur, then keep yourself safe with a good rappier, together with a sack full of stones, when one therefore will go, it is sometimes better for the protection, than three or four bare rappiers. Will your grace however, be required to fist the rappier, then whip your Cloak over your left arm, so that your body and head will be well protected, and see that when you go out with the Company, that none are defenseless.

 

大意:这种事时有发生,特别是在大学里面。

当一个人加入社团,总会遇到一些不太正直的人,容易嫉妒的人。因此,在晚上,一些正派人必须 leave their hair,甚至放弃他们的夜生活。

我自己就经历过这种事。如果一旦发生,首先你需要一把良好的迅捷剑保证自己的安全。然后随身携带满满一袋石头。如果你非得夜晚出行,带上这些比只带迅捷剑更安全。

无论如何,大人,注意紧握剑柄,然后把斗篷甩到自己的左手上,这样你的身体和头部就会有良好的保护。如此当你与伙伴聚会时,就不会毫无自卫能力。

第九十四招

 

94. it happens from time to time, that one in the night will be attacked by several, it is wherever it will be, often from four or five or more people, and some therefore will be robbed, that it costs him his life and limb, and usually, when one in the night will resort to coupling, because often the other waits for his turn, as well this can sometimes happen, then do this thing, and keep safe a good rappier for yourself. However, if your grace will be assaulted on the way home, by a whole group of enemies, then take your rappier with both fists and shoot it at the whole group, and see hereafter where your grace can gain further protection, because need sometimes breaks iron, ere you live, there you give.

 

大意:这常常发生,一个人在晚上被数人袭击,无论身处何地,通常会遇到至少4 5个人。一些人因此被抢劫,被砍断肢体或丢掉性命。

一般情况下,在晚上最好结伴而行,因为总会遇到人想找你的麻烦。如果这种事发生,用迅捷剑保护自己。无论如何,如果大人在回家的路上被一大帮子人袭击,双手拿起迅捷剑,朝着他们全体投射过去,然后赶紧细软跑到能给大人更好保护的地方。

第九十七招

 

?If Your Grace has a rappier with you, and one comes at you with a Saber and will briskly strike at you, then Your Grace must not allow him to properly approach, nor to hit your blade, likewise, when he also will undertake all forms of antics (tricks), thus should Your Grace not trust him, but rather pay diligent attention to his strikes or thrusts, and Your Grace can catch him with a long thrust, thus it is good that you see when you can thrust him to the fist or arm, so that he cannot get away with many great thoughts when his fist is injured, and is said rightly by the saying: "Arrogance rarely does well, because if the hand or fist is gone, so it is with one who can knock well, where he otherwise remains at the court."

 

大意:如果大人拿着一把迅捷剑,而另一个人拿着大刀来砍你,首先不要让他过于靠近,也不要让他打击你的剑刃。同样,如果他耍出各种各样的花法伎俩时,不要立即刺他,而是警惕地观察他可能做出的砍刺动作,而你可以抓住这些时机发动一个长距离刺击,刺击他的手臂或拳头,如果他手受伤,也就玩不出什么花样了。老话说得好:傲慢无善果,失手则丢命,法庭亦如是。

第八十八招

 

If your grace sees that one comes at you with a Flail, at night, and will strike at you, (how it then is occasionally in use at the Universities, when one goes from the table, and from the guards will be attacked, if often one has previously done something to the guards, and another comes, because of the need to pay for what the other has wrought) then whip your cloak over your left arm, and run under his Flail with great power, so that one then will strike in over you, be mindful of his power your grace, then wrench the flail from his hands, for the protection of your life and limb.

 

大意:如果大人晚上遇见一个人拿着连枷走过来,八成是要敲爆你的狗头。这种事情在大学偶尔会发生(后面看不懂,是指大学警卫被袭击了装备被抢了?)把斗篷甩上你的左手,然后从他的连枷下面猛冲过去,这样敌人的攻击会越过你,注意他的力道,然后扭住他的连枷杆,这样就能保护你的肢体性命。

第八十九招

 

 If one comes at your grace with a partisan, be it on land or wherever it is, and he will strike or thrust at your grace, and you have nothing more than your rappier with you, then see and give diligent attention to the strike, if he will heave his arm high in the strike, then run in under his spear, and his great power will kill him, where not, then put your rappier to his body, for the preservation of your life and limb, or what do to with such an enemy, must be taken with good attention

 

大意:如果有人拿着Partisan(一种两边带凸出刀刃的短矛)袭击你。他可能会敲或者刺你,而你身上除了一把迅捷剑别无他物,那么就特别注意他的敲击,如果他在敲击时一旦抬高手臂,赶紧从他矛杆下冲刺过去,他很可能因为太用力而撞上你的剑尖,如果没有,就刺进他的躯干。为了保护你的肢体性命,对付此种敌人时必须注意力高度集中。

第九十式

 

 If your grace has a partisan in your hand, and you want to go for a walk, and one comes at your grace with a rappier, and will thrust or cut at you with great power, then you see they have their opportunity, and he will go under your spear with a thrust or running in, then position yourself not too high with the spear, but rather with the strong right at his breast, and if he will not thrust, and he will resort to the cut, then once he will cut at your head or to your body, then when he cuts, thrust him under his blade with the spear in to his neck, or in to the breast, thus he cannot do his affairs.

 

大意:如果大人拿着一把partisan,想出去散个步,而有人拿着迅捷剑过来,八成是想猛力干你一发。你知道他会找机会,从你的矛杆下面冲刺过来,因此partisan的位置一定不能太高,而是稳固地对准他的胸部,如果他没办法刺击,就只能劈砍啦,一旦他劈向你的头或者躯干,立刻刺击他的喉咙或者胸部,这样他就没法完成他的动作了。

第九十五式

 

 If your grace wants to do a dirty trick, it is in fencing or in brawling, in dagger and rappier alike, then use nothing more than these words, "I won't fight with the two of you, rather only with one" and when he wants to look around, he comes up short, and you can thrust him through and through, also hurt him in cutting, when he is not quite at the door, and is said rightly: "Offer your enemy the face, do not trust him too much," that is to say, a correct deception, in fencing or in brawling, you can also do it as a past time, when your grace has the pleasure in a challenge, however in dire need and in great misfortune these techniques are also good to use.

大意:如果大人想耍点小手段,在防身或者吵架的时候,而且用的是匕首,迅捷剑之类的东西,那么没什么比说这些话更管用的。“我不会和你们两个打,我只和一个人打。”如果他想看看周围,哪怕只有短短一瞬,立刻刺向他,当然砍伤他也行,when he is not quite at the door,就像老话说的:“给敌人点面子吧,不要相信他。”就是说正确的欺骗,无论是防身还是吵架,还是像过去一样管用。

第一百式:最终奥义

It sometimes helps wonderfully, when brisk people come together, whether Noble or non Noble, and are there to fight with hatred, how also today the weapons in the brawling are not equal, and may soon reduce one to the other in thrusting and in cutting, how it is now the custom in several Lands, which is also heard, where one has a dagger and rappier and the other has a short barreled weapon and rappier, and rather, when one is forced to use rappier and dagger, and he has learned nothing of it: So your grace, instead of the Dagger, take a short barreled weapon, and there it will be well revealed, what is the best thing to do, or not, Where dissimilar weapons before the opponent will be used, then in the case of emergency must one use, what one can think of, because it is all come to the utmost, now in these dangerous times in the World. So your grace, take good heed of these Stücke of mine, so they include together with the Steps and Circles, wellbeing, that each one is good against his enemy, and thereby, Your Grace can, with Honor and goodness, protect your Life and Limb.

大意:当活跃的人们聚集在一起的时候,无论贵族还是非贵族,总是会因为敌意而陷入打斗,而打斗时的武器是不公平的,总有人很快被干倒。

大人,听我一句劝,当你使用迅捷剑格斗时,副手别再用匕首了,用短管枪比较好。这会揭示什么是最好的行为,什么是不好的行为。

在紧急情况下,应该使用人们所能想到的一切武器,因为事情总是会走向极端,这是个危险的时代。

所以大人啊,好好消化我这一番心血,则每个人都可以妥善地对付他的敌人,从而,带着荣誉和善意,保护他自身的性命与肢体。
