This had Zarathustra said to his heart when the sun stood at noon-tide.
当查拉图斯特拉用发自肺腑的情感说完这些话的时候，太阳已经正午了。
Then he looked inquiringly aloft, for he heard above him the sharp call of a bird. And behold!
然后，他用充满好奇的神情看向高处，因为他听到他的头顶有刺耳的鸟叫声。
An eagle swept through the air in wide circles, and on it hung a serpent, not like a prey, but like a friend: for it kept itself coiled round the eagle's neck.
快看！一只老鹰在空中画了一个大圈子，在那上面悬挂着一条蛇，他看起来不像是猎物，而更像是一位朋友：因为老鹰把这条蛇缠绕在了他的脖子上。
"They are mine animals," said Zarathustra, and rejoiced in his heart.
“他们都是我的动物，”查拉图斯特拉说道，他的内心非常欢快。
"The proudest animal under the sun, and the wisest animal under the sun -- they have come out to reconnoitre.
“在太阳之下最值得骄傲的动物以及在太阳之下最聪明的动物--他们都跑出来一探究竟。
They want to know whether Zarathustra still liveth. Verily, do I still live?
他们想知道查拉图斯特拉是否想继续活着。说真的，我还有必要继续活着吗？
More dangerous have I found it among men than among animals; in dangerous paths goeth Zarathustra. Let mine animals lead me!
我发现人类要比动物们更加具有危险性；查拉图斯特拉在危险的道路上行走。让我的动物们指引我吧！”
When Zarathustra had said this, he remembered the words of the saint in the forest. Then he sighed and spake thus to his heart:
当查拉图斯特拉说完这些话的时候，他想起了森林中的圣人所说过的话。然后他叹了口气，用真挚的情感说道：
"Would that I were wiser! Would that I were wise from the very heart, like my serpent!
“我希望让自己变得更加智慧一些！我真切地希望自己可以变得更加聪明一些。就像我的毒蛇一样！
But I am asking the impossible. Therefore do I ask my pride to go always with my wisdom!
但是，我所希望的是不可能实现的愿望。因此，我请求我的骄傲陪伴着我的智慧！
And if my wisdom should some day forsake me: alas! it loveth to fly away! May my pride then fly with my folly!"
就好像，我的智慧在某一天会抛弃我，唉！它非常渴望远走高飞！那么，我愿我的骄傲陪伴着我的愚蠢一起远走高飞！”
Thus began Zarathustra's down-going.
因此，查拉图斯特拉开始下山。
