下为分句对译

"Now, great   ministers," they continued furiously among themselves, "think well   on it, while you still have the breath in your mouths!

「现在，杰出的大臣们， 」他们愤怒地继续彼此说着， 「在你们还有一口气时，好好想想！

Even if the   king's heart has been torn from his breast, there is still a way to put it   back, so the saying goes, provided that the ministers' sack of power has not   been ripped as under. Therefore let us ponder well!"

As under: in two

如同俗话所说，即使国王的心已从胸膛里被挖出，只要大臣们的力量之袋没被扯散，仍有办法将它放回。因此，让我们好好想想！」

But before the   king or any of the ministers could speak, Goe the Elder raised his voice:

但在国王或任何大臣来得及开口之前，苟长老发话了：

"Sire,   alas! The counseling of ministers knows no end, and it is said that in the   presence of the king, advice should be briefly spoken.

「陛下， 唉！大臣们的咨议没完没了，都说了在国王面前，建言应该简短。

Therefore, let   the ministers meet together elsewhere." Everyone agreed to this, and the   ministers went off to hold their council.

因此，让大臣们到别处面议吧。」众人对此皆表同意，于是大臣们就离开去举行他们的讨论会议。

To be continued
