那邊是誰? 不 你回答我 Who's there? Nay, answer me
站住 報上口號 Stand, and unfold yourself.
國王萬歲 勃那多嗎? 對 Long live the king Bernardo? He.
你來得很準時 You come most carefully upon your hour.
剛打十二點鐘 你去睡吧 弗蘭西斯科 'Tis now struck twelve - get thee to bed, Francisco.
謝謝你來替我 For this relief much thanks.
天冷得厲害 我心裡也很不舒服 'Tis bitter cold, and I am sick at heart.
你守衛的時候還安靜嗎? Have you had quiet guard?
一隻耗子也不見走動 Not a mouse stirring.
好 晚安 Well, good night.
站住 喂 你是誰? 自己人 Stand, ho Who's there? Friends to this ground.
都是丹麥王的臣民 And liegemen to the Dane.
祝你們晚安 再會 正直的軍人 Give you good night. Farewell, honest soldier.
誰替了你? Who hath relieved you?
勃那多接我的班 Bernardo has my place.
祝你們晚安 Give you good night.
喂 勃那多 Holla Bernardo
哈 什麼 霍拉旭也來了嗎? Say, what, is Horatio there?
有這麼一個他 歡迎 霍拉旭 A piece of him. Welcome, Horatio,
歡迎 馬西勒斯 welcome, good Marcellus.
這東西今晚又出現過了嗎? What, has this thing appeared again tonight?
我什麼也沒有看見 I have seen nothing.
霍拉旭說那不過是我們的幻想 Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
他總是不肯相信 and will not let belief take hold of him.
我們已經兩次看見過的那個可怕的怪像 Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us.
所以我請他今晚也來陪我們 Therefore I have entreated him along with us
一刻不懈地守一夜 to watch the minutes of this night,
要是這怪物再出來 that if again the apparition come,
他可以證明我們沒錯 還能和它說句話 he may approve our eyes and speak to it.
嗤 嗤 它不會出現的 Tush, tush, 'twill not appear.
我們還是要把我們這兩夜來 Then let us once again assail your ears,
所看見的情形 that are so fortified against our story
再向你絮叨一遍 what we have two nights seen.
好 我們聽聽勃那多怎麼說 Well, let us hear Bernardo speak of this.
就在昨晚 Last night of all,
當時 就在北極星西邊的那顆星 when yond same star that's westward from the pole
剛好轉過去照耀西天的一角 had made his course to illume that part of heaven
恰在它現在照亮的地方 where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
時鐘剛敲了一點 the bell then beating one...
住聲 不要再講了 Peace Break thee off.
瞧 它又來了 Look, where it comes again
正像先王陛下的模樣 In the same figure, like the king that's dead.
你是個讀書人 去和它說話 霍拉旭 Thou art a scholar - speak to it, Horatio.
你看它不像先王嗎? 看 霍拉旭 Looks it not like the king? Mark it, Horatio.
像極了 真奇怪 Most like, it harrows me with fear and wonder.
真讓我毛骨悚然 It would be spoke to.
你去問它 霍拉旭 Question it, Horatio.
你是何物 膽敢來竊據深宵 What art thou that usurp'st this time of night,
僭取這英武的威儀招搖無忌 together with that fair and warlike form
不顧先王陛下入土為安? in which the majesty of buried Denmark did sometimes march?
憑上天的名義 我命令你說話 By heaven I charge thee, speak
它生氣了 瞧它昂然不顧地走開了 It is offended. See, it stalks away
不要走 說呀 說呀 我命令你 快說 Stay Speak, speak I charge thee, speak
它走了 'Tis gone,
不願回答我們 and will not answer.
憑上帝起誓 倘不是我親眼看得真切 Before my God, I might not this believe
我絕對不會相信這樣的怪事 without the sensible and true avouch of mine own eyes.
前兩次它也是這樣 在這萬籟俱寂之時 Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
用軍人的步態走過我們眼前 with martial stalk hath he gone by our watch.
我不知究竟該作怎樣的想法 In what particular thought to work I know not,
可是大概推測起來 這恐怕預兆著 but in the gross and scope of my opinion,
我國將發生什麼奇災異變 this bodes some strange eruption to our state.
好吧 跟上 誰要是知道的 請告訴我 Good now, stand close, and tell me, he that knows,
為什麼如今我們要有這樣森嚴的戒備 why this same strict and most observant watch
使全國的民眾每夜不得安息 so nightly toils the subject of the land,
為什麼每天都在製造銅炮 and why such daily cast of brazen cannon
還要向國外購買軍火 and foreign mart for implements of war.
究竟為了什麼 要這樣辛苦忙碌 What might be toward, that this sweaty haste
連黑夜也同白天一樣做苦工? doth make the night joint-labourer with the day?
誰能告訴我？ Who is't that can inform me?
我可以告訴你 That can I -
至少一般人都是這樣傳說 at least, the whisper goes so.
是先王陛下 Our last king,
剛才還仿佛露了一下臉的 whose image even but now appear'd to us,
你們知道 當年挪威王福丁布拉斯 Was, as you know, by Fortinbras of Norway
一定要挑戰勇武的哈姆萊特老王 dared to the combat, in which our valiant Hamlet
一戰便被先王打敗 因此同時 did slay this Fortinbras, who thus
失去了他的性命 還有他的國土 did forfeit, with his life, all these his lands.
如今那位小福丁布拉斯 Now, sir, young Fortinbras,
血氣方剛 性如烈火 of unimproved mettle hot and full,
在挪威四境召集了 hath in the skirts of Norway here and there
一群好事的亡命之徒 shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes,
無非是要從我們手中奪回 to recover of us those foresaid lands
他父親所喪失的土地 照我所知 so by his father lost. And this, I take it,
這就是我們種種準備的主要動機 is the main motive of our preparations,
我們這樣戒備的唯一原因 the source of this our watch and the chief head
也是全國所以這樣慌忙騷亂的緣故 of this post-haste and romage in the land.
可是不要響 瞧瞧 它又來了 But soft, behold lo, where it comes again
我要擋住它 即使它會害我 不要走 幻影 I'll cross it, though it blast me. Stay, illusion
要是你能出聲 就對我說話吧 If thou hast any sound, or use of voice, speak to me.
要是你預知祖國的命運 If thou art privy to thy country's fate,
講出來便能避免災殃 就對我說話吧 which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak
不要走 說呀 Stay, and speak
攔住它 馬西勒斯 Stop it, Marcellus.
要不要我用戟刺它? 好的 要是它不肯站定 Shall I strike at it? Do, if it will not stand.
它在這兒 它在這兒 'Tis here 'Tis here
它走了 'Tis gone
它那樣尊嚴的態度 是我們錯了 We do it wrong, being so majestical,
不該對它這樣暴力 to offer it the show of violence.
因為它是像空氣一樣不可侵害的 For it is, as is the air, invulnerable,
我們亂打一陣 不過是徒勞的惡作劇 and our vain blows malicious mockery.
它正要說話的時候 雞就啼了 It was about to speak, when the cock crew.
於是它就像個罪犯聽到了 And then it started like a guilty thing
可怕的召喚似的 驚跳起來 upon a fearful summons.
它真的一聽到雞鳴便隱去了 It faded on the crowing of the cock.
有人說在我們每次 Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
歡慶聖誕之前不久 wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
這報曉的鳥兒總會徹夜長鳴 the bird of dawning singeth all night long
於是 沒有一個鬼魂可以出外行走 and then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad.
每晚都清明無事 星宿也不作怪 The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
妖仙不蠱惑人 巫婆也施不了符咒 no fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
那真是聖潔祥和的好時候 so hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
我也聽人家說過 也不免有幾分相信 So have I heard and do in part believe it
可是 瞧 清晨披著赤褐色的外衣 But, look - the morn, in russet mantle clad,
踏著東方高山上的露水走過來了 walks o'er the dew of yond high eastward hill.
我們也可以下班了 照我的意思 Break we our watch up, and by my advice,
我們應該把我們今夜看見的事情 let us impart what we have seen tonight
告訴年輕的哈姆萊特 因為 以我的生命起誓 unto young Hamlet, for, upon my life,
鬼魂雖然對我們不發一言 見了他一定有話要說 this spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him.
雖然朕至親的王兄哈姆萊特駕崩不久 Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death
記憶猶新 the memory be green...
朕固然是應當 And that it us befitted
深為愴悼 全國臣民亦宜 to bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom
各自深鎖愁眉 to be contracted in one brow of woe.
但是 理性與情感衝突 Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
朕一方面固然深深懷念王兄 that we with wisest sorrow think on him,
卻也不能不勉強節哀 珍重朕躬 together with remembrance of ourselves.
所以我昔日的長嫂 如今的新後 Therefore our sometime sister, and our queen,
承襲我邦家大業的先王德配 the imperial jointress to this warlike state,
我們仿佛抱著悲欣交集的心情 have we, as 'twere with a defeated joy,
仿佛一隻眼含笑 一隻眼垂淚 with one auspicious and one dropping eye,
仿佛殯葬的挽歌與結婚的喜歌同時並奏 with mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
朕已在難分輕重的悲哀與歡樂之下 in equal scale weighing delight and dole,
娶她為妻 taken to wife.
關於此事朕也曾廣為徵詢 Nor have we herein barr'd
諸位的高見 多承諸位屢進忠言 your better wisdoms, which have freely gone
一致擁護 為此 朕深表感謝 with this affair along. For all, our thanks.
現在你們也知道 年輕的福丁布拉斯 Now follows, that you know, young Fortinbras,
看輕了我們的實力 holding a weak supposal of our worth,
也許他以為 自從朕親愛的王兄一朝駕崩 or thinking by our late dear brother's death
我們的國家也要四分五裂 our state to be disjoint and out of frame,
於是三番兩次送來文書煩瀆 he hath not fail'd to pester us with message,
要求我們歸還失地 importing the surrender of those lands
那本是他的父親依法律 lost by his father, with all bonds of law,
割讓給朕英勇的王兄的 to our most valiant brother.
關於他 So much for him.
不必再多說 Thus much the business is.
朕有國書一封在此 We have here writ
給挪威國王 小福丁布拉斯的叔父 To Norway, uncle of young Fortinbras,
請他制止他侄兒進一步的行動 that he suppress his nephew's further march
阻止他再來騷擾我國 and threatening enterprise against our state.
現在我就派遣你 考妮莉亞 And we here dispatch you, good Cornelia,
伏提曼德 替我把這封信送給挪威老王 and Voltimand as our ambassadors to old Norway.
陛下吩咐 敢不盡忠 In that and in all things we show our duty.
我相信你們 珍重 We doubt it nothing. Heartily farewell.
現在 雷歐提斯 你有什麼話說? And now, Laertes, what's the news with you?
你說有個請求 是什麼 雷歐提斯? You told us of some suit - what is't, Laertes?
只要聽你說得有理 You cannot speak of reason to the Dane
丹麥王總會答應的 and lose your voice.
陛下 My dread lord,
我要請求您允許我回到法國去 your leave and favour to return to France,
雖然我自願由法國回到丹麥 from whence though willingly I came to Denmark,
參加陛下加冕盛典 to show my duty in your coronation,
但是如今 臣職已盡 yet now, I must confess, that duty done,
我的心願又向法國飛馳 my thoughts and wishes bend again toward France
但求陛下開恩允准 and bow them to your gracious leave and pardon.
你父親答應了嗎 波洛涅斯怎麼說? Have you your father's leave? What says Polonius?
陛下 我拗不過他幾番苦求 勉強准了 He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave.
請陛下放他去吧 I do beseech you, give him leave to go.
珍重青春 雷歐提斯 時間是你的 Take thy fair hour, Laertes - time be thine,
發揮你的美德 充分消受吧 and thy best graces spend it at thy will
可是 But now,
我的侄兒哈姆萊特 我的兒子 our cousin Hamlet, and our son.
親上加親 越親越疏 A little more than kin,and less than kind.
為什麼愁雲依舊籠罩在你身上? How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
不 陛下 我在太陽裡曬得太久了 Not so, my lord, I am too much i' the sun.
好哈姆萊特 拋開你陰鬱的神氣吧 Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off,
對丹麥王應該和顏悅色一點 and let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.
不要老是垂下了眼皮 Do not for ever with thy vail-ed lids
在泥土之中找尋你高貴的父親 seek for thy noble father in the dust.
你知道這是平常事 人終有一死 Thou know'st 'tis common, all that lives must die,
經過塵世 踏進永恆 passing through nature to eternity.
嗯 母親 很平常 Ay, madam, it is common.
那為什麼你這樣子又好像很在乎? If it be, why seems it so particular with thee?
好像 母親? 不 我不懂什麼"好像" Seems, madam Nay, it is, I know not "seems".
好媽媽 我墨黑的外套 'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
按禮從俗 漆黑的喪服 nor customary suits of solemn black,
以及種種悲哀之態 together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
都不能表達我的真心 都是"好像" that can denote me truly. These indeed seem,
這是人人會耍的把戲 for they are actions that a man might play.
但我心裡有無法宣洩的悲哀 But I have that within which passeth show
這一套不過是它的外衣罷了 these but the trappings and the suits of woe.
哈姆萊特 你這樣孝思不匱 Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
原是你天性中純篤過人之處 to give these mourning duties to your father.
可是你要知道 你父親也曾失去父親 But, you must know, your father lost a father,
那失去的父親 自己也失去過父親 that father lost, lost his, and the survivor, bound
後死者自然要哀悼一個時期 in filial obligation for some term
以克盡孝道 to do obsequious sorrow.
然而固執不變的哀傷 But to persever in obstinate condolement
卻是種逆天悖理的愚行 is a course of impious stubbornness.
不是堂堂男子應有的舉動 'Tis unmanly grief.
我請求你 拋棄這種 I pray you, throw to earth
無益的悲傷 而把朕 This unprevailing woe, and think of us
當作你的父親 因為我要告訴全世界 as of a father, for let the world take note,
你是王位的直接繼承者 you are the most immediate to our throne,
而且我對你的摯愛比起 and with no less nobility of love
最慈愛的父親之于他的親兒子 than that which dearest father bears his son,
也絲毫不差 do I impart toward you.
至於你想要 For your intent
回到...威登堡 去繼續求學的意思 In going back to school in... Wittenberg. ..Wittenberg,
那完全違反的願望 it is most retrograde to our desire.
請你聽從我的勸告 留在這裡 And I beseech you, bend you to remain here,
在朝廷上領袖群臣 in the cheer and comfort of our eye,
做我們最親的侄子 和兒子 our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.
別讓你母親枉費一番禱告 哈姆萊特 Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet.
我求你 留下伴著我們 不要去威登堡了 I pray thee, stay with us - go not to Wittenberg.
我勉力服從您吧 母親 I shall in all my best obey you, madam.
這才是體貼有孝心的回答 Why, 'tis a loving and a fair reply.
留在丹麥 和朕不分彼此吧 Be as ourself in Denmark.
禦妻 來 Madam, come.
哈姆萊特這溫順自發的遵從 This gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet
使我非常高興 為表慶祝 sits smiling to my heart in grace whereof,
今天丹麥王每一次舉杯祝飲 no jocund health that Denmark drinks today.
都要放一響高入雲霄的祝炮 But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell,
讓上天應和著地上的雷鳴 來 走吧 re-speaking earthly thunder. Come, away.
啊 但願我這太堅實的肉體能融掉 O, that this too, too solid flesh would melt...
消散 Thaw,
化成一片露水 and resolve itself into a dew
或者那永生的真神未曾制定律法 Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
禁止自殺 his canon 'gainst self-slaughter
上帝啊 O God
上帝啊 God
這些多麼可厭 How weary,
陳腐 stale,
乏味而無聊 flat and unprofitable
人世間醉生夢死的這一套 seem to me all the uses of this world
呸 呸 Fie on't Fie
這是個荒蕪不冶的花園 'Tis an unweeded garden, that grows to seed.
一天天零落 長滿了惡毒的莠草 Things rank and gross in nature possess it merely.
居然有這等事情 That it should come to this
剛死了兩個月 But two months dead -
不 兩個月還不滿 nay, not so much, not two
那樣賢明的一位國王 比起這個 So excellent a king, that was, to this,
如同用太陽神比羊怪 Hyperion to a satyr.
他那樣愛我的母親 So loving to my mother
甚至於不願讓天風 That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
吹痛了她的臉 天地呀 visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth
我必須記著嗎? Must I remember?
當初 她偎倚在他的身旁 Why, she would hang on him,
簡直像對美味的食物 as if increase of appetite had grown
越吃越津津有味 可是 才一個月 by what it fed on and yet, within a month...
我不能再想下去了 Let me not think on't.
脆弱啊 你的名字就是女人 Frailty, thy name is woman
短短一個月前 她送我那可憐的父親下葬 A little month, or 'ere those shoes were old
送葬的鞋子還沒有穿舊 with which she follow'd my poor father's body,
她哭得像淚人似的 如今卻... like Niobe, all tears why she, even she...
上帝啊 哪怕沒有理性的畜生 O, God A beast, that wants discourse of reason,
也要悲傷得長久些呢 would have mourn'd longer.
她就嫁給了我的叔父 Married with my uncle.
我父親的弟弟 可他一點不像我的父親 My father's brother, but no more like my father
正如我不像赫剌克勒斯 才一個月 than I to Hercules within a month.
不等那假仁假義的眼淚幹了 'Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
不等眼睛的紅腫消退 had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
她就嫁了人了 she married.
好奸惡的速度 O, most wicked speed, to post
這樣迫不及待地鑽進了亂倫的衾被 with such dexterity to incestuous sheets
這不是好事 也不能有好結果 It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
可是碎了吧 我的心 因為我必須沉默 But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.
祝福您 殿下 很高興看見你身體健康 Hail to your lordship I am glad to see thee well.
霍拉旭 Horatio
我太健忘了 Or I do forget myself
是 殿下 您卑微的僕人 The same, my lord, and your poor servant ever.
不 我的好朋友 我願意和你朋友相稱 Sir, my good friend, I'll change that name with you.
你怎麼不在威登堡 霍拉旭 馬西勒斯? And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio? Marcellus?
殿下 很高興看見你 你好 朋友 My good lord. I am very glad to see you. Good even, sir.
可你為何離開威登堡? But what, in faith, make you from Wittenberg?
我們倒可以為你練練酒量 We'll teach you to drink deep 'ere you depart.
殿下 我是來參加您父王的葬禮的 My lord, I came to see your father's funeral.
看在同窗份上 請別取笑我 I pray thee, do not mock me, fellow-student -
是來參加我母后的婚禮吧 I think it was to see my mother's wedding.
的確 殿下 接得太緊了 Indeed, my lord, it follow'd hard upon.
一舉兩便 霍拉旭 Thrift, thrift, Horatio
葬禮的殘羹冷炙 The funeral baked meats
正好宴請婚筵的賓客 did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
我的父親 My father
我仿佛看見我父親 Methinks I see my father.
在什麼地方 殿下? Where, my lord?
在我的心靈的眼睛裡 霍拉旭 In my mind's eye, Horatio.
我見過他一次 他真是位賢君 I saw him once. He was a goodly king.
他是個堂堂男子 整個說起來 He was a man. Take him for all in all.
我再也見不到他那樣的人了 I shall not look upon his like again.
殿下 My lord...
我想我昨夜看見他了 看見誰? I think I saw him yesternight. Saw who?
殿下 我看見了您父王 My lord, the king your father.
我父王 The king my father
不要吃驚 請靜靜聽我把這奇事告訴您 Season your admiration with an attent ear, till I may deliver,
這兩位可以替我做見證 upon the witness of these gentlemen, this marvel to you.
看在上帝的份上 講給我吧 For God's love, let me hear.
一連兩夜 這兩位朋友 Two nights together had these gentlemen,
馬西勒斯和勃那多 出去守夜 Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch,
在萬籟俱寂的午夜時分 in the dead vast and middle of the night,
都遭遇了此事 been thus encounter'd.
一個像您父親的人形 A figure like your father,
全身甲胄 向他們顯形 Armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe,
用莊嚴而緩慢的步伐 appears before them, and with solemn march
走過他們身邊 懷著惴懼的心情 goes slow and stately by them. This to me
他們把這件事悄悄告訴了我 In dreadful secrecy impart they did,
我就在第三夜陪著他們一起守望 and I with them the third night kept the watch
正像他們所說的一樣 那鬼魂又出現了 where, as they had deliver'd, the apparition comes.
我認識您父王 我這兩手也不及他們相似 I knew your father, these hands are not more like.
可這是在什麼地方? But where was this?
殿下 就在我們守望的露臺上 My lord, upon the platform where we watch'd.
你們沒和他說話嗎? Did you not speak to it?
殿下 我說了 可它沒回答 真奇怪 My lord, I did, but answer made it none. 'Tis very strange.
憑我的生命起誓 殿下 這是真的 As I do live, my honour'd lord, 'tis true.
我們認為按我們的責任 And we did think it writ down in our duty
應該讓您知道這件事 不錯 to let you know of it. Indeed.
不錯 朋友們 可這件事很使我迷惑 Indeed, sirs, but this troubles me.
你們今晚還守夜嗎? 是 殿下 Hold you the watch tonight? We do, my lord.
你們說他穿著甲胄? 是 殿下 Arm'd, say you? Arm'd, my lord.
從頭到腳? From top to toe?
從頭到腳 沒看見他的臉嗎? My lord, from head to foot. Then saw you not his face?
看見的 殿下 臉甲是掀起的 O, yes, my lord, he wore his beaver up.
他瞧上去像發怒嗎? What look'd he - frowningly?
他臉上悲哀多於憤怒 A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
臉色白還是紅? 慘白 Pale or red? Nay, very pale.
定睛望著你? 直盯著我 And fix'd his eyes upon you? Most constantly.
真可惜我不在場 否則您一定吃驚萬分 I would I had been there. It would have much amazed you.
多半會的 多半會的 Very like, very like.
他停留得久嗎? Stay'd it long?
大約勻速數100下那麼久 While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred.
不止 不止 Longer, longer.
我只看見他這麼久 Not when I saw't.
他鬍鬚是斑白的嗎? His beard was grizzled?
是的 正像我在他生前看見的那樣 It was, as I have seen it in his life,
烏黑夾著銀白 a sable silver'd.
我今晚也要守夜去 也許它還會來 I will watch tonight - perchance 'twill walk again.
我擔保它一定會來 I warrant it will.
若他真借我父王的形貌 If it assume my noble father's person,
我一定要和他說話 哪怕地獄張嘴 I'll speak to it, though Hell itself should gape
不讓我作聲 我求你們諸位 and bid me hold my peace. I pray you all,
若你們還沒告訴別人 if you have hitherto conceal'd this sight,
那麼請仍舊沉默下去 let it be tenable in your silence still,
無論今夜發生什麼事情 and whatsoever else shall hap to-night,
只可理會 不可外傳 give it an understanding, but no tongue.
我定會報答你們的忠誠 I will requite your loves.
好 再會 So, fare you well.
今晚11到12點之間 我來會你們 Upon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve, I'll visit you.
我們願為殿下盡忠 Our duty to your honour.
父王的靈魂披著甲胄 事情不妙 My father's spirit in arms All is not well.
其中必有奸人惡計 I doubt some foul play.
但願黑夜早點到來 Would the night were come
靜靜等待吧 我的靈魂 Till then sit still, my soul.
惡行總有一天要大白天下 Foul deeds will rise,
哪怕全世界的泥土掩埋著它 遮蔽人眼 though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes.
我需要的物件已經裝在船上 My necessaries are embark'd.
再會了 Farewell.
妹妹 在好風給人方便 And, sister, as the winds give benefit
船隻來往無阻的時候 不要貪睡 and as convoy is assistant, do not sleep,
給我捎來你的消息 but let me hear from you.
你還不相信我嗎? Do you doubt that?
對於哈姆萊特和他的調情獻媚 For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour,
只能當他是少年人一時衝動罷了 hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,
一朵初春的紫羅蘭早熟而易凋 a violet in the youth of primy nature.
馥鬱而不能持久 Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting.
一瞬間的芬芳和喜悅 如此而已 The perfume and suppliance of a minute - no more.
不過如此嗎? 不過如此 也許他現在愛你 No more but so? Think it no more. Perhaps he loves you now
也許他現在還沒染上齷齪的心機 and now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch
現在動機純潔 可你必須留心 the virtue of his will. But you must fear,
他有這樣高的地位 身不由己 his greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own.
他要被自己的血統所支配 For he himself is subject to his birth.
不能像一般庶民一樣 He may not, as unvalued persons do,
為自己選擇 因為他的決定 carve for himself, for on his choice depends
足以影響到整個國家的安危 the safety and the health of this whole state.
好比他是全身的首腦 And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
他的選擇必須得到各肢體的同意 unto the voice and yielding of that body whereof he is the head.
所以 要是他說愛你 Then if he says he loves you,
你不可貿然相信 it fits your wisdom so far to believe it
照他的身分地位說來 as he in his particular act and place
他要付諸實踐 絕不會超過 may give his saying deed - which is no further
丹麥國內輿論所同意的範圍 than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
衡量一下吧 你的名譽要受多大損失 Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain,
要是你輕信了他的甜言蜜語 if with too credent ear you list his songs.
一往情深 甚至開放你寶貴的童貞 Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
任由他狂妄瀆求 To his unmaster'd importunity.
留心 奧菲利婭 Fear it, Ophelia
留心 親愛的妹妹 Fear it, my dear sister,
不要放縱你的愛情 and keep you in the rear of your affection,
不要讓欲望的利箭把你射中 out of the shot and danger of desire.
要謹慎 小心翼翼才最安全 Be wary, then. Best safety lies in fear.
青春無需挑逗 自己就會叛變 Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
我會記住你這個很好的教訓 I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
讓它看守我的心 可我的好哥哥 as watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
你不要像有些壞牧師一樣 do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
指點我上天去的險峻的荊棘之途 show me the steep and thorny way to Heaven,
而自己卻像個放縱的浪子 whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
走上五光十色的薔薇之路 himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
忘記了自己的箴言 啊 別為我擔心 and recks not his own rede. O, fear me not.
我耽擱太久了 可是父親來了 I stay too long, but here my father comes.
兩度祝福是雙倍吉利 A double blessing is a double grace,
看來是要二度告別了 occasion smiles upon a second leave.
還在這兒 雷歐提斯 上船去 真好意思 Yet here, Laertes Aboard, aboard, for shame
風息在帆頂上 The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
人家都在等著你哩 and you are stay'd for.
好 我為你祝福 There, my blessing with thee
還有幾句教訓 請你務必銘刻在心 And these few precepts in thy memory
凡事必須三思才說出口 see thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
不合時宜的念頭更不可實行 nor any unproportioned thought his act.
對人要和氣 可是不要過分狎昵 Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
相知有素的朋友 考驗過交情 Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
便該用鋼圈箍上你的靈魂 grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.
卻不要濫結新交 But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
逢人握手 磨粗了你的手掌 of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade.
謹防和人爭吵 萬一爭端已起 Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
就應該讓對方知道你不可輕侮的 bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
人人說話都要傾耳去聽 卻不要多嘴 Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice,
接受每個人的批評 也保留自己的主張 take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
盡你的財力購制講究的衣服 Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
但不要炫新立異 要富麗 而不浮豔 but not express'd in fancy Rich, not gaudy,
因為服裝往往可以表現人格 for the apparel oft proclaims the man.
不向人告貸 也不借錢給人 因為借錢 Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan...
往往錢財和朋友兩空 ..oft loses both itself and friend...
而告貸 容易讓人因循懶惰 And borrowing... ..dulls the edge of husbandry.
尤其要緊的 This above all.
你必須問心無愧 To thine ownself be true,
正像有了白晝 才有黑夜 And it must follow, as the night the day,
對自己忠實 才不會對別人欺詐 thou canst not then be false to any man.
再會 Farewell.
願我的祝福使這番話刻在你心上 My blessing season this in thee
父親 我告別了 Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
時候不早了 去吧 你的僕人在等著 The time invites you - go, your servant tends.
再會 奧菲利婭 Farewell, Ophelia.
記住我對你說的話 And remember well what I have said to you.
你的話已鎖在我記憶裡 Tis in my memory lock'd,
那鑰匙你替我保管著吧 and you yourself shall keep the key of it.
再會 Farewell.
奧菲利婭 他對你說些什麼話? What is't, Ophelia, he hath said to you?
回父親的話 我們剛才談起哈姆萊特殿下 So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.
嗯 該考慮一下 Marry, well bethought.
我聽說 他近來常常 'Tis told me, he hath very oft of late
跟你私下在一起 而你也 Given private time to you, and you yourself
從來不拒絕他的求見 have of your audience been most free and bounteous.
人家告訴我 無非要我注意 If it be so, as so 'tis put on me,
謹慎起見 我得提醒你 and that in way of caution, I must tell you,
你還不十分瞭解自己的身份 you do not understand yourself so clearly
該怎樣當我的女兒 做你的小姐 as it behoves my daughter and your honour.
你們究竟怎樣? 說實話 What is between you? Give me up the truth.
父親 他最近曾經屢次向我 He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders
捧出他的愛情 of his affection to me.
愛情 呸 Affection Pah
你講話完全像是個無知少女 You speak like a green girl,
全不知什麼叫風險 unsifted in such perilous circumstance.
你相信他捧出的所謂愛情嗎? Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?
父親 我不知道該怎樣想才好 I do not know, my lord, what I should think.
好 讓我來教你 你要知道你還是小孩 Marry, I'll teach you. Think yourself a baby,
竟把這些空頭表示 That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay,
當作真心 你該把自己"捧"高一點 which are not Sterling. Tender yourself more dearly,
不然打住吧 別再折磨這可憐的詞 or, not to crack the wind of the poor phrase,
你就把自己"捧"成了傻瓜 running it thus you'll tender me a fool.
父親 他向我求愛的態度 My lord, he hath importuned me with love
是很光明正大的 in honourable fashion.
對 不過是態度罷了 算了 算了 Ay, fashion you may call it - go to, go to.
父親 他為了證明心跡 And hath given countenance to his speech, my lord,
用盡了一切海誓山盟 with almost all the holy vows of Heaven.
嗯 這些都是捕捉山鷸的圈套 我知道 Ay, springes to catch woodcocks. I do know,
熱血沸騰時 人無論什麼盟誓 when the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
都說得出口 這些火焰 女兒 lends the tongue vows. These blazes, daughter,
光多熱少 剛說出口就消散了 giving more light than heat, extinct in both,
不能把它們當做真火 從現在起 you must not take for fire. From this time
還是少抛頭露面吧 be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence,
對哈姆萊特殿下 你記住 他還年輕 for Lord Hamlet, believe so much in him, that he is young
他比你在行動上 and with a larger tether may he walk
有更大的自由 than may be given you.
總之 奧菲利婭 別相信他的盟誓 In few, Ophelia, do not believe his vows.
我的言盡於此 This is for all.
簡單一句話 從現在起 I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth,
我不許你浪費一刻光陰 have you so slander any moment leisure,
跟哈姆萊特殿下聊天 as to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet.
留神 我要你記住 Look to't, I charge you.
進去吧 Come your ways.
我一定聽您的話 父親 I shall obey, my lord.
風刺得人厲害 這天氣真冷 The air bites shrewdly - it is very cold.
真是寒氣入骨 It is a nipping and an eager air.
什麼時候了? 我想還不到12點 What hour now? I think it lacks of twelve.
不 已經打過了 真的? 我沒聽見 No, it is struck. Indeed? I heard it not.
時候快到了 Then it draws near the season
那鬼魂就要現身了 wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
這是什麼意思 殿下? What does this mean, my lord?
國王今晚安排了通宵的宴飲 The king doth wake tonight and takes his rouse,
鬧酒取樂 再加上撒野跳舞 Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels.
每次他喝下了一杯萊茵美酒 And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
銅鼓和喇叭便吹打起來 The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
歡祝萬壽 這是向來的風俗嗎? The triumph of his pledge. Is it a custom?
嗯 是的 Ay, marry, is't.
可是對我 雖然從小在這裡 But to my mind, though I am native here
看慣了這風俗 卻以為破壞它 and to the manner born, it is a custom
倒比遵守它還體面些 more honour'd in the breach than the observance.
瞧 殿下 它來了 Look, my lord, it comes
仁慈的天使保佑我們 Angels and ministers of grace defend us
不管你是神靈還是妖魔 Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd?
不管你帶來了天上的和風 或地獄的罡風 Bring with thee airs from Heaven or blasts from Hell?
不管你善意還是惡意 Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
既然你以這一幅可疑的樣子到來 thou comest in such a questionable shape
我就要對你說話 that I will speak to thee.
我要叫你哈姆萊特 I'll call thee Hamlet,
君王 King,
父親 father,
尊嚴的先王 回答我 royal Dane. O, answer me
別讓我在無知蒙昧裡抱恨終天 告訴我 Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell
為什麼你已經發喪入殮的骸骨 why thy canonised bones, hearsed in death,
掙破了壽衣出來了 為什麼墳墓 have burst their cerements. Why the sepulchre,
在我們眼前安葬了你 wherein we saw thee quietly inter'd,
卻重新張開它沉重的大理石巨顎 hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws,
把你吐放出來 這究竟是什麼意思 to cast thee up again. What may this mean,
你已死的屍體這樣全身甲胄 that thou, dead corpse, again in complete steel
重回這月光朦朧之下 revisits thus the glimpses of the moon,
使夜色猙獰 使我們這些愚人 making night hideous, and we fools of nature
為難以想像的恐怖心驚膽顫 so horridly to shake our disposition
徒勞地思索我們不可知的事情? with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
說 這是為了什麼? Say, why is this?
為了什麼? Wherefore?
你要我們怎樣? What should we do?
它招手叫您跟去 It beckons you to go away with it,
好像有話要對您一個人說似的 As if it some impartment did desire to you alone.
它招呼您到僻靜地方去 別跟它去 It waves you to a more removed ground. But do not go with it.
千萬別去 它不肯說話 我要跟去 No, by no means. It will not speak,then I will follow it.
不要去 殿下 唉 怕什麼呢? Do not, my lord. Why, what should be the fear?
我的生命對我不值一枚針 I do not set my life in a pin's fee.
而我的靈魂 跟它一樣永生不滅 And for my soul, what can it do to that,
它能夠加害嗎? being a thing immortal as itself?
它又招手了 我要跟去 It waves me forth again, I'll follow it.
殿下 要是它把您誘向潮水 What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
或者下臨大海的 or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
峻峭的懸崖之巔 that beetles o'er his base into the sea,
再現出猙獰面貌 and there assume some other horrible form,
嚇得您喪失理智 which might deprive your sovereignty of reason
發了狂呢? 它還在招手 and draw you into madness? It waves me still.
走 我跟著你 別去 殿下 Go on, I'll follow thee. You shall not go, my lord.
放手 聽我們勸告 別去 Hold off your hands Be ruled - you shall not go.
我的命運在呼喊 My fate cries out,
使我每根微細的血管都變得 and makes each petty artery in this body
硬如怒獅的筋骨 as hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
它還在召我 放開我 朋友們 Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen.
蒼天在上 誰再攔我 我要叫他變鬼 By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me
走開 I say, away
去吧 我跟著你 Go on, I'll follow thee.
他神經錯亂 不顧一切了 He waxes desperate with imagination.
跟上 此時不能聽他的 跟上 Let's follow - 'tis not fit thus to obey him. Have after.
這不知要弄成什麼結局? To what issue will this come?
丹麥國裡恐怕有些烏七八糟事 Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
老天會照應的 不 我們跟上 Heaven will direct it. Nay, let's follow.
你要領我去哪? 快說 我不走了 Where wilt thou lead me? Speak, I'll go no further.
聽我說 我在聽 Mark me. I will.
我的時間快到了 My hour is almost come,
我必須再回到硫黃的烈火裡 when I to sulphurous and tormenting flames
去受煎熬之苦 must render up myself.
唉 可憐的亡魂 Alas, poor ghost
不要可憐我 Pity me not,
你只要留心聽我告訴你的話 but lend thy serious hearing to what I shall unfold.
說吧 我一定會聽 Speak, I am bound to hear.
你聽了以後 也一定要替我報仇 So art thou to revenge, when thou dost hear.
什麼? What?
我是你父親的靈魂 I am thy father's spirit,
註定有一段時間要夜遊人世 doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
白晝忍受火焰的燒灼 and for the day confined to fast in fires,
一直要到我陽間的罪孽燒淨 till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
方可以脫罪 若不是我不能違禁 are burned and purged away. But that I am forbid
洩漏我獄中的秘密 to tell the secrets of my prison-house,
我可以告訴你 輕微的幾句話 I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
就能使你魂飛魄散 熱血凝凍成冰 would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
使你雙眼如流星般跳出眼眶 make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres.
可這種永劫的神秘絕不可 But this eternal blazon must not be
向血肉凡耳宣示 to ears of flesh and blood.
聽著 聽著啊 聽著 List, list, O, list
若你曾愛過你親愛的父親 上帝啊 If thou didst ever thy dear father love... O God
你必須替他報這慘遭謀殺的冤仇 謀殺? ..Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder. Murder
慘遭謀殺 Murder most foul
無論怎樣往好裡說 As in the best it is,
也是最惡毒 卑劣 傷天害理的一樁 but this most foul,strange and unnatural.
趕快告訴我 讓我插上 Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift
思想和愛一般迅速的翅膀 as meditation or the thoughts of love,
飛去替您報仇 may sweep to my revenge.
你果然躍躍欲試 I find thee apt.
據他們宣稱 我在花園裡睡覺時 'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,
被一條蛇所蜇死 a serpent stung me.
可你要知道 But know,
高貴的青年 thou noble youth,
那毒害你父親的蛇 The serpent that did sting thy father's life
頭上正戴著王冠呢 now wears his crown.
我的預感果然不假 是我叔父 O my prophetic soul My uncle
唉 正是那亂倫的 姦淫的畜牲 Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,
他有的是過人的詭詐 with witchcraft of his wit,
天賦的奸惡 為了滿足他的無恥獸欲 with traitorous gifts, won to his shameful lust
誘惑了我那貌似貞淑的王后 the will of my most seeming-virtuous queen.
啊 哈姆萊特 這是何等的墮落啊 O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there
我的愛情是那樣純潔真誠 From me, whose love was of that dignity
始終信守著我在大婚之日 that it went hand in hand even with the vow
對她所做的盟誓 她卻會對 I made to her in marriage, and to decline
一個天賦才德遠不如我的惡人 upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor
降心相從 to those of mine
一個淫婦 哪怕與光明的天使為偶 But lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
也會有一天厭倦了天上的唱隨之樂 will sate itself in a celestial bed,
去摟抱人間的朽骨 and prey on garbage.
可是 且慢 But, soft
我仿佛嗅到了清晨的空氣 Methinks I scent the morning air.
讓我說得簡短些 Brief let me be.
那時我睡在花園裡 Sleeping within my orchard,
按我每天午後的慣例 my custom always in the afternoon,
你叔父趁我不備 悄悄溜了進來 upon my secure hour thy uncle stole,
拿著一個盛著毒草汁的小瓶 with juice of cursed hebenon in a vial
注入到我的雙耳之內 and in the porches of my ears did pour
那藥水使人麻痹 藥性發作起來 the leperous distilment, whose effect
極不利人的血液 holds such an enmity with blood of man
會像水銀一樣很快流過 that swift as quicksilver it courses through
全身的大小血管 the natural gates and alleys of the body,
像酸液滴進牛乳一般 and with a sudden vigour doth posset
把全身鮮活的清血都凝結起來 and curd the thin and wholesome blood.
它一進我的身體 So did it mine,
我渾身登時起了無數皰疹 and a most instant tetter bark'd about,
那種害了癩病似的可憎鱗片 most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust,
遍佈了我光滑的皮膚 all my smooth body.
這樣 我在睡夢之中 被親兄弟一手 Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand
奪去了我的生命 我的王冠 和我的皇后 of life, of crown, and queen, at once dispatch'd.
可怕啊 O, horrible
可怕 上帝啊 Most horrible O God
若你還有骨肉之情 切不可隱忍 If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not
不要讓丹麥的禦寢 Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
變成了藏奸養逆的臥榻 a couch for luxury and damned incest.
但是無論你怎樣進行復仇 But, howsoever thou pursuest this act,
不要胡亂猜疑 更不可加害於 taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive
你的母親 她自會受上天裁判 against thy mother aught. Leave her to Heaven
和她自己內心中荊棘刺戳 and to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,to prick and sting her
現在我必須去了 Fare thee well at once
螢火蟲的微光漸漸暗淡 The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,
清晨快要到來了 and 'gins to pale his ineffectual fire.
再會 再會 Adieu, adieu
哈姆萊特... Hamlet...
記著我 Remember me
天上的神明啊 O all you host of Heaven
地啊 還有什麼呢? O Earth What else?
我還要向地獄呼喊嗎? 呸 And shall I couple Hell? O, fie
鎮定 鎮定吧 我的心 Hold, hold, my heart.
我全身的筋骨 不要一下子就衰老了 And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,
支撐著我的身體呀 "記著你"? but bear me stiffly up. Remember thee?
對 我可憐的亡魂 只要我混亂的腦海裡 Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat
還有記憶的位置 "記著你"? in this distracted globe. Remember thee?
對 從我記憶的碑版上 Yea, from the table of my memory
拭去一切瑣碎愚蠢的記錄 I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
一切書本 一切形式 一切過去的印象 All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
我少年的全部閱歷 that youth and observation copied there.
只讓你的命令 And thy commandment all alone shall live
留在我腦海的書卷裡 within the book and volume of my brain,
不摻半點下賤的廢料 對 上天作證 unmix'd with baser matter. Yes, by Heaven
啊 最惡毒的婦人 O most pernicious woman
啊 奸賊 O villain,
奸賊 villain,
笑裡藏刀的 萬惡的奸賊 smiling, damned villain
這也要在碑板上記下 My tables, meet it is I set it down,
一個人可以滿臉堆著笑 that one may smile, and smile,
卻做這等奸賊 and be a villain.
至少 At least,
我相信丹麥便有這種實例 I'm sure it may be so in Denmark.
好 叔父 我把你寫下來了 So, uncle, there you are.
還有我的座右銘 Now to my word.
那是 "再會 再會 記著我" It is "Adieu, adieu Remember me."
我已經發過誓了 I have sworn 't.
殿下 殿下 上天保佑他 但願如此 My lord, my lord Heaven secure him So be it
喂 呵 呵 殿下 Hillo, ho, ho, my lord
來 來 孩子 來 小鳥兒 來 Hillo, ho, ho, boy Come, bird, come.
怎樣 殿下? How is't, my noble lord?
有什麼事 殿下? 啊 奇怪 好殿下 告訴我們 What news, my lord? O, wonderful Good my lord, tell it.
不 你們會外傳的 不會 殿下 天作證 No, you'll reveal it. Not I, my lord, by Heaven.
我也不會 殿下 那麼你們說 Nor I, my lord. How say you, then?
哪一個人會想得到有這種事? Would heart of man once think it?
可你們能保密嗎? 是 天作證 殿下 But you'll be secret? Ay, by Heaven, my lord.
全丹麥從來不曾有哪一個奸賊 There's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark
不是個大惡人 but he's an arrant knave.
這也不必九泉的幽鬼來告訴我們 There needs no ghost come from the grave to tell us this.
啊 對 說得有理 Why, right, you are i' the right,
所以 不必虛文 And so, without more circumstance at all,
我們握手告別吧 I hold it fit that we shake hands and part.
你們去做自己的事 You, as your business and desire shall point you,
因為人各有各的事 for every man has business and desires,
就是這樣 至於我呢 such as it is, and for mine own poor part,
回去禱告吧 look you, I'll go pray.
您說話好像有些瘋瘋癲癲的 殿下 These are but wild and whirling words, my lord.
我說話得罪你了 是 我對不住你 I'm sorry they offend you, heartily. Yes, 'faith heartily.
談不上得罪 殿下 There's no offence, my lord.
不 聖伯特力克在上 談得上 霍拉旭 Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio,
而且罪還不小呢 and much offence too.
談到這一個幽靈 Touching this vision here,
他是個老實的亡魂 我可以告訴你們 it is an honest ghost, that let me tell you
想知道我們談了什麼 for your desire to know what is between us,
暫請別問 現在 朋友們 O'ermaster 't as you may. And now, good friends,
你們都是朋友 學者 軍人 as you are friends, scholars and soldiers,
請准我一個小要求 give me one poor request.
什麼要求 殿下? 我們一定依從 What is't, my lord? We will.
今夜所見 永勿洩露 Never make known what you have seen tonight.
殿下 我們永不會 My lord, we will not.
不 你們必須宣誓 Nay, but swear it.
天作證 殿下 我絕不外傳 In faith, my lord, not I.
我也是 神靈在上 按著我的劍 Nor I, my lord, in faith. Upon my sword.
我們宣過了 殿下 We have sworn, my lord, already.
不行 按著我的劍 Indeed, upon my sword, indeed.
宣誓 哈 好傢伙 Swear. Ah, ha, boy
你也同意嗎 你在嗎 夥計？ Say'st thou so? Art thou there, truepenny?
來吧 你聽 地下的傢伙都發話了 Come on, you hear this fellow in the cellarage -
宣誓吧 您說怎樣宣誓 consent to swear. Propose the oath, my lord.
今夜所見 永不提起 以劍為誓 Never to speak of this that you have seen, swear by my sword.
宣誓 Swear
無處不在嗎? 那我們換個地方 Hic et ubique? Then we'll shift our ground.
過來 各位 手按在我的劍上 Come hither, gentlemen, and lay your hands again upon my sword.
宣誓永不提起這件事 Never to speak of this that you have heard.
按著我的劍宣誓 宣誓 Swear by my sword. Swear
說得好 老鼴鼠 Well said, old mole
你在地底鑽得這麼快嗎? 好個開路先鋒 Canst work i' the earth so fast? A worthy pioneer
再換個地方 朋友們 Once more remove, good friends.
哎呦 真是不可思議的怪事 O day and night, but this is wondrous strange
那用見怪不怪的態度對它吧 And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
天地之間有許多事情 霍拉旭 There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio,
是我們的哲學萬萬想不到的呢 可是 來 than are dreamt of in our philosophy. But come
再宣誓一次 上帝保佑你們 Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,
我今後有時候 how strange or odd soe', er I bear myself,
也許要故意裝出一副 As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
瘋瘋癲癲的樣子 to put an antic disposition on,
你們那時見了我 切不可 that you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
像這樣交叉手臂 或搖頭擺腦的 with arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,
或者嘴裡吞吞吐吐 or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
例如"好好 我們知道" 或者"要知道也不難" As "Well, well, we know",' or "We could, and if we would",
這類含糊其辭的話語 or such ambiguous giving out, to note
表示你們知道我的秘密 千萬不可 that you know aught of me. This not to do,
上帝的恩惠和慈悲保佑你們 宣誓吧 so grace and mercy at your most need help you - swear
宣誓 Swear
我們宣誓 我們宣誓 We swear We swear
安息吧 安息吧 被擾的陰魂 Rest, rest, perturbed spirit
好 朋友們 So, gentlemen,
讓我們一同進去 let us go in together;
你們要永遠緘口 我請求你們 and still your fingers on your lips, I pray.
這是一個顛倒混亂的時代 The time is out of joint.
倒楣的我 O cursed spite,
卻要負起重整乾坤的責任 that ever I was born to set it right
把這錢和信交給我兒子 雷奈爾多 Give my son this money and these notes, Reynaldo.
是 老爺 I will, my lord.
你如要做得精明 好雷奈爾多 You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo,
去看他以前 先探聽探聽他的行為 before you visit him, to make inquire of his behaviour.
老爺 我正要這樣 My lord, I did intend it.
很好 很好 好的很 你聽好 Marry, well said, very well said. Look you, sir,
先去給我調查 有什麼丹麥人在巴黎 inquire me first what Danskers are in Paris,
他們的營生 名字 地位 住址 and how, and who, what means, and where they keep,
和哪些人作伴 用度大不大 what company, at what expense, and finding
用這種轉彎抹角的方法 by this encompassment and drift of question
若打聽到我兒子 就可以更進一步 that they do know my son, come you more nearer.
表示你對他也有相當的認識 Take you, as 'twere, some distant knowledge of him
你可以說 "我認識他父親和他的朋友" as thus, "I know his father and his friends,
"和他也泛泛相識" 聽見沒有 雷奈爾多? "And in part him." Do you mark this, Reynaldo?
是 遵命 老爺 Ay, very well, my lord.
"和他也泛泛相識..." 你可以說 "不大熟悉" And in part him, but you may say "not well.
"不過假如真是他 他是個浪子" "But, if't be he I mean, he's very wild,
"有這麼些壞習慣" 說到這 你就可以隨便 "addicted so and so", and there put on him
捏造些壞話 當然 不能說得太不成樣 what forgeries you please. Marry, none so rank
別損害他的名譽 這一點要注意 as may dishonour him, take heed of that,
可你不妨舉出些司空見慣的 but, sir, such wanton, wild and usual slips
一般紈絝子弟向所難免的 as are companions noted and most known
放浪行為 to youth and liberty.
譬如賭錢 老爺? As gaming, my lord?
對 或是喝酒 鬥劍 賭咒 吵嘴 Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling,
嫖妓之類 你都可以說 drabbing - you may go so far.
老爺 那會損害他名譽的 My lord, that would dishonour him.
不不 你可以輕描淡寫 Faith, no, as you may season it in the charge.
可老爺... 為什麼叫你這樣? But, my good lord... Wherefore should you do this?
對 老爺 請告訴我 Ay, my lord, I would know that.
呃 我的用意是這樣的 Marry, sir, here's my drift,
我相信這是種好策略 and I believe, it is a fetch of wit.
你略微說我兒子一些壞話 You laying these slight sullies on my son,
就像捏東西難免留下指印 聽著 as 'twere a thing a little soil'd i' the working, mark you,
要是那跟你談話的 你要試探的人 your party in converse, him you would sound,
果然見過你所說起的少年 having ever seen in the prenominate crimes
犯下你剛才列舉的那些罪惡 the youth you breathe of guilty, be assured
他一定會這樣附和 he closes with you in this consequence.
"好先生" 或許他稱你"朋友" "仁兄" "Good sir," or so, or "friend", or "gentleman",'
按照各人的身份 according to the phrase or the addition
或各國的習慣 of man and country.
是 老爺 Very good, my lord.
然後他就 怎樣 And then, sir, does he this?
他就 He does...
我剛才要說什麼來的? What was I about to say?
哎呦 我正要說句什麼話 By the mass, I was about to say something.
我說到什麼地方啦? Where did I leave?
您說到 "這樣附和" At closes in the consequence.
"這樣附和"? 嗯 對了 At closes in the consequence? Ay, marry
他會這樣附和 "我認識這位元紳士" He closes thus - "I know the gentleman,
"昨天我還看見他 或是前天" "I saw him yesterday, or t' other day,
"什麼什麼時候 跟什麼人一起" "Or then, or then, with such, or such,
"正像您說的 他在什麼地方賭錢" "and, as you say, there was a' gaming,
"為打網球跟人打起了架" 或許 "there a falling out at tennis" or perchance,
"我看見他走進某某生意人家去" "I saw him enter such a house of sale" -
那就是說窯子 或是諸如此類的所在 你瞧 Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. See you now -
你用假話作餌 就可以把真相誘上釣鉤 your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth
我們有智慧 有見識的人 and thus do we of wisdom and of reach,
就是這樣轉彎抹角 旁敲側擊 by indirections find directions out.
你懂我意思沒有? 老爺 我懂得 You have me, have you not? My lord, I have.
上帝與你同在 God be wi' you
再會 那我去了 老爺 fare you well. Good my lord
你自己也得留心觀察他的舉止 Observe his inclinations in yourself.
是 老爺 叫他用心學習音樂 I shall, my lord. And let him ply his music.
是 老爺 Well, my lord.
你去吧 Farewell
啊 奧菲利婭 什麼事? How now, Ophelia What's the matter?
父親 父親 嚇死我了 O, my lord, my lord, I have been so affrighted
上帝在上 你怕什麼? With what, i' the name of God?
父親 我正在房間裡縫紉 My lord, as I was sewing in my closet,
哈姆萊特殿下跑了進來 他上衣完全沒扣扣子 Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced,
帽子也不戴 襪子也烏七八糟 no hat upon his head, his stockings foul'd,
沒有襪帶 一直垂到腳踝上 ungarter'd, and down-gyved to his ankle,
臉色象他的襯衫一樣白 膝蓋碰來碰去 pale as his shirt, his knees knocking each other,
他的神氣是那樣淒慘 and with a look so piteous in purport
好像剛從地獄逃出來 as if he had been loosed out of Hell
要講那裡的恐怖一樣 就走到我面前 to speak of horrors, he comes before me.
愛你愛到發瘋了? 父親 我不知道 Mad for thy love? My lord, I do not know,
可我想也許是的 他怎麼說? but truly, I do fear it. What said he?
他緊緊握住我的手腕不放 He took me by the wrist and held me hard.
拉直了手臂向後退立 Then goes he to the length of all his arm,
另一隻手這樣遮著眉頭 and, with his other hand thus o'er his brow,
直勾勾地盯著我的臉 he falls to such perusal of my face
好像要臨摹它似的 as he would draw it.
這樣經過了好久 Long stay'd he so.
然後他輕輕搖一下我的手臂 At last, a little shaking of mine arm
他的頭上上下下點了三次 and thrice his head thus waving up and down,
發出一聲淒慘沉痛的歎息 he raised a sigh so piteous and profound
好像他的整個胸口都要爆裂 as it did seem to shatter all his bulk
生命就此完結似的 and end his being.
然後他鬆開我 That done, he lets me go
轉過身去 還朝我回過頭來 and, with his head over his shoulder turn'd,
好像不用眼睛幫助也能找到他的路 he seem'd to find his way without his eyes.
因為直到他走出了門外 For out o' doors he went without their help,
他兩眼還是注視在我身上 and, to the last, bended their light on me.
隨我來 這正是戀愛不遂的瘋狂 Come. This is the very ecstasy of love,
一個人受到這種劇烈刺激 whose violent property fordoes itself
什麼不顧一切的事情都幹得出來 and leads the will to desperate undertakings.
我真後悔 I am sorry.
怎麼 你最近對他說過什麼難堪的話嗎? What, have you given him any hard words of late?
沒有 父親 可我已遵從您的命令 No, my good lord, but, as you did command,
拒收他的信件 也拒絕他來見我 I did repel his letters and denied his access to me.
這就是使他瘋狂的原因 That hath made him mad.
我很後悔考慮得不夠周到 I am sorry that with better heed and judgment
看錯了人 我以為他不過要玩弄你 I had not quoted him. I fear'd he did but trifle,
恐怕貽誤你的終身 可我不該這樣多疑 and meant to wreck thee, but, beshrew my jealousy
來 我們見王上去 Come, go we to the king.
這種事必須明白交代 This must be known.
歡迎 親愛的羅森格蘭茲和吉爾登斯吞 Welcome, dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
一方面是因為朕非常思念你們 Moreover that we much did long to see you,
這次急召你們兩位前來 the need we have to use you did provoke
更有一要事相托 你們大概已經聽到 our hasty sending. Something have you heard
哈姆雷特近來有變 儀態心智都大異從前 of Hamlet's transformation. What it should be,
除喪父之痛以外 他為何有此 more than his father's death, that thus hath put him
翻天覆地的變化 so much from the understanding of himself,
朕實在無從猜測 we cannot dream of. I beseech you
你們從小便跟他一起長大 that, being of such young days brought up with him,
所以我特請你們請二位在宮中 that you vouchsafe your rest here in our court
盤桓幾天 與他為伴 some little time so by your companies
替他解解愁悶 並當時機容許時 to lead him on to pleasures, and to gather,
乘機窺探 查明他究竟 so much as by occasion you may glean,
有什麼秘密的心事 whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus,
以求對症下藥 that, open'd, lies within our remedy.
他常講起你們兩位 Good gentlemen, he hath much talk'd of you,
我相信世上沒有人 and sure I am two men there are not living
比你們更為他所親信了 你們要是 to whom he more adheres. If it will please you
不嫌怠慢 to show us so much gentry and good will
答應在此小作勾留 as to expend your time with us awhile,
幫助我們實現我們的希望 for the supply and profit of our hope,
你們的盛情雅意 一定會使丹麥王 your visitation shall receive such thanks
終生感激不盡 as fits a king's remembrance.
二位陛下 Both your majesties
對我們為臣的都是至高無上 might, by the sovereign power you have of us,
有何懿旨 儘管吩咐 put your dread pleasures more into command
客氣不得 than to entreaty.
而臣等必將聽從旨意 But we both obey,
為兩位陛下效犬馬之勞 and here give up ourselves, in the full bent
我們定當全力以赴 to lay our service freely at your feet, to be commanded.
多謝 羅森格蘭茲和善良的吉爾登斯吞 Thanks, Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.
多謝 吉爾登斯吞和善良的羅森格蘭茲 Thanks, Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz.
請立刻去見我那大大轉性的兒子 And I beseech you instantly to visit my too much changed son.
來人 領二位到哈姆萊特那裡去 Go, some of you, and bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
願上天加佑 讓我們 Heavens make our presence and our practises
對他愉快而有益 pleasant and helpful to him
是 阿門 Ay, amen
啟稟殿下 到挪威去的兩位欽使 The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord,
喜氣洋洋地回來了 are joyfully return'd.
你總帶著好消息來報告我們 Thou still hast been the father of good news.
是嗎 殿下? Have I, my lord?
不瞞陛下說 我把對上帝和對仁德的王上的責任 I assure my good liege, I hold my duty, as I hold my soul,
看得和靈魂一樣重呢 both to my God and to my gracious king.
我相信 我已經發現了 And I do think, that I have found
哈姆萊特發瘋的原因 the very cause of Hamlet's lunacy.
真是喜訊 速速道來 O, speak of that - that do I long to hear.
不妨先接見欽使 First give admittance to the ambassadors -
我的消息留作盛筵後的果品吧 my news shall be the fruit unto the feast.
那麼有勞你去接他們進來 Thyself do grace to them, and bring them in.
親愛的喬特魯特 他說他已經發現了 He tells me, my sweet Gertrude, that he hath found
你兒心神不定的原因 the head and source of all your son's distemper.
依我看 主要原因不外乎 I doubt it is no other but the main -
他父親的死 his father's death,
和我們倉促成婚 and our o'erhasty marriage.
待我們細細問他 We will sift him.
歡迎 我的好朋友們 Welcome, good friends
挪威王兄怎麼說? Say, what from our brother Norway?
他叫我們向陛下轉達他的致意 Most fair return of greetings and desires.
他立刻傳諭他侄兒止步 He sent out to suppress his nephew's march.
他本以為那是準備對付波蘭人的 The which he thought proposed against the Poles,
一經調查 才知道 but, better look'd into, he truly found
它的物件原來是陛下 it was against Your Highness and our state.
福丁布拉斯受了申斥 So Fortinbras receives rebuke from him
最後在他叔父面前立誓 and vows before his uncle never more
絕不興兵侵犯丹麥 to give assay of arms against Denmark here.
這樣很好 It likes us well.
晚上我們一起歡宴 At night we'll feast together.
歡迎你們回來 Most welcome home
這事總算皆大歡喜 This business is well ended.
陛下 王后 要是我長篇大論地解釋 My liege, and madam, to expostulate
君上的尊嚴 臣下的名分 what majesty should be, what duty is,
白晝何以為白晝 黑夜何以為黑夜 why day is day, night night,
時間...何以為時間 and time...is time.
那不過徒然浪費了晝 夜 時間 Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.
從來簡潔是智慧的靈魂 Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
冗長是膚淺的藻飾 and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
我簡單說吧 殿下是瘋了 I will be brief. Your noble son is mad
我說他瘋了 因為要說明什麼才是真瘋 Mad call I it, for, to define true madness,
那就只有發瘋 此外還有什麼可說的呢? what is't but to be nothing else but mad?
可那也不用說了 多談實際 少弄玄虛 But let that go. More matter, with less art.
娘娘 我發誓一點不弄玄虛 Madam, I swear I use no art at all.
他瘋了 是真的 惟其是真 所以可歎 That he is mad, 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity,
它的可歎也是真的 蠢話少說 and pity 'tis 'tis true, a foolish figure.
因為我不願弄玄虛 But farewell it, for I will use no art.
好 讓我們同意他已經瘋了 Mad let us grant him, then and now remains
現在要找他發瘋的原因 that we find out the cause of this effect,
或者不如說 致瘋之缺陷 or rather say, the cause of this defect,
因為瘋是結果 而缺陷是原因 for this effect defective comes by cause.
因因果果無窮匱也 Thus it remains, and the remainder thus.
我有一女 尚未婚配 I have a daughter, have while she is mine
難得她一片孝心 who, in her duty and obedience, mark,
給了我這封信 hath given me this.
請猜一猜 這裡面說些什麼話 Now gather, and surmise.
"致下凡仙子 我的靈魂的偶像 "To the celestial and my soul's idol,
最豔麗的奧菲利婭" the most beautified Ophelia,"
這是粗俗 下流的說法 That's an ill phrase, a vile phrase.
"豔麗"這詞下流透了 可是你們聽下去吧 "Beautified" is a vile phrase, but you shall hear. Thus.
"讓這幾行詩句 留在她皎潔的胸中" "In her excellent white...bosom, these..."
等等 ..etc.
哈姆萊特寫給她的? Came this from Hamlet to her?
皇后請耐心點 待我老老實實念完 Good madam, stay awhile, I will be faithful.
"你可以疑心星星是火把 你可以懷疑日月的運行" "Doubt thou the stars are fire doubt that the sun doth move,
"你可以疑心真理是謊話 卻不要懷疑我的愛情" "doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love."
這是我女兒出於孝順給我看的 此外還有 This, in obedience, hath my daughter shown me, and more above.
可她對他的愛作何感想? But how hath she received his love?
陛下以為我是怎樣的人? What do you think of me?
一個忠心正直的朋友 As of a friend, faithful and honourable.
但願我能證明如此 可是假如說 I would fain prove so. But what might you think,
我看見這火辣辣的戀情正在進行 When I had seen this hot love on the wing
不瞞陛下說 我早看出來了 as I perceived it, I must tell you that,
不消她說 請問陛下 before my daughter told me what might you,
還有王后陛下 也請想想看 Or my dear majesty your queen here, think,
假如我故意視若無睹 假作癡聾 If I had given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
不聞不問 您會怎樣想? or look'd upon this love with idle sight?
所以我當機立斷 No, I went round to work,
警告我那位小姐說 and my young mistress thus I did bespeak.
"哈姆雷特殿下是王子 你高攀不上" "Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star -
"萬萬不可" 我把她教訓一番 "this must not be." And then I precepts gave her,
叫她深居簡出 不要和他見面 that she should lock herself from his resort,
不要接納他的來使 也不收受禮物 admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
她聽了這番話 就照此實行起來 Which done, she took the fruits of my advice.
說來話短 他遭到拒絕以後 And he, repulsed, a short tale to make
心裡就鬱鬱不快 飯也吃不下了 fell into a sadness, then into a fast,
覺也睡不著了 一天比一天憔悴 thence to a watch, thence into a weakness,
精神一天天恍惚 這樣發展下去 thence to a lightness, and, by this declension,
就變成現在這種瘋狂 Into the madness wherein now he raves,
為我們大家所悲痛 and all we mourn for.
你想是這個原因嗎? Do you think 'tis this?
這是很可能的 It may be, very likely.
我倒是很想知道 哪一次 Hath there been such a time I'd fain know that
我曾肯定地說 "是這樣的" that I have positively said 'tis so,
而結果卻並不是這樣? when it proved otherwise?
據我所知沒有 Not that I know.
要是我說錯了話 把這個拿下來吧 Take this from this, if this be otherwise.
只要有線索 我總會 If circumstances lead me, I will find
找出事實真相 即使那真相 where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed
藏在地球中心 within the centre.
下一步怎樣驗證? How may we try this further?
您知道 有時他會踱來踱去幾個鐘頭 You know, sometimes he walks four hours together
就在這走廊裡 here in the lobby.
他真的常常這樣 So he does indeed.
乘他在此的時候 我讓我女兒去見他 At such a time I'll loose my daughter to him.
你我躲在帷幕後面 Be you and I behind an arras then,
看他們相會 要是他不愛她 mark the encounter. If he love her not
他的理智不是為此喪失 And be not from his reason fallen thereon,
那麼解除我襄理國家的職務 讓我去耕田趕牲口吧 let me be no assistant for a state, but keep a farm and carters.
我們要試試 We will try it.
瞧 這可憐孩子憂愁地來了 But, look, where sadly the poor wretch comes.
喬特魯特 請暫時離開 Sweet Gertrude, leave us.
她父親和我要權充一下密探 Her father and myself, lawful espials,
觀察他們會面 從他的行為上判斷 thus may of their encounter frankly judge,
他的瘋病究竟是不是 if be the affliction of his love or no
為戀愛上的痛苦 that thus he suffers for.
遵命 I shall obey you.
至於你 奧菲利婭 And for your part, Ophelia,
但願 I do wish
你的美貌果然是 that your good beauties be the happy cause
哈姆萊特瘋狂的原因 更願你的美德 of Hamlet's wildness. So shall I hope your virtues
能夠幫助他恢復原狀 will bring him to his wonted way again,
使你們同享尊榮 to both your honours.
王后 但願如此 Madam, I wish it may.
奧菲利婭 你在這兒走走 Ophelia, walk you here.
你拿這本書去讀 Read on this book,
他看你在用功 就不會奇怪你獨自在這了 that show of such an exercise may colour your loneliness.
我聽見他來了 我們快走吧 陛下 I hear him coming. Let's withdraw, my lord.
生存還是毀滅 To be, or not to be,
這是個值得考慮的問題 that is the question.
究竟要默然忍受 Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
這命運暴虐的毒箭 the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
還是挺身和這滔天惡浪相抗 or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
掃它一個乾淨? And by opposing end them?
死了 To die,
睡著了 to sleep,
如此而已 no more,
若闔眼一睡就能了結 and by a sleep to say we end
心頭的創痛 以及血肉之軀承受的 the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
萬千驚擾 that flesh is heir to.
這種結局 'Tis a consummation...
那真是求之不得 ..devoutly to be wish'd.
死了 To die,
睡著了 to sleep.
睡著了 也許還會做夢 To sleep, perchance to dream.
這就麻煩了 Ay, there's the rub.
在死的睡眠裡 還會做些什麼夢呢 For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
當我們擺脫這具腐朽的皮囊以後 When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
這卻使我們躊躇 must give us pause.
也就是為了這個緣故 There's the respect
人們甘心久困於患難之中 that makes calamity of so long life.
誰願意忍受人世的鞭撻和譏諷 For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
倘不是因為懼怕不可知的死後 but that the dread of something after death?
懼怕那從未有旅人回來過的 The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
不可知的國土 是它迷惑了我們的意志 no traveller returns, puzzles the will
使我們寧願忍受目前的災殃 and makes us rather bear those ills we have
也不敢投向未知的痛苦? than fly to others that we know not of?
這樣 重重顧慮使我們全變成了懦夫 Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
敢作敢為的血性 and thus the native hue of resolution
也蒙上了一層慘白的思慮的病容 is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
本可轟轟烈烈 大作大為 and enterprises of great pith and moment
也會因此中途懈怠 with this regard their currents turn awry,
壯志全消了 且慢 and lose the name of action. Soft you now
美麗的奧菲利婭 The fair Ophelia
女神 你的祈禱中 不要忘記替我懺悔 Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd.
好殿下 您這些天來貴體安好嗎? Good my lord, how does your honour for this many a day?
謝謝你 很好 很好 I humbly thank you - well, well, well.
殿下 我有幾件您給的紀念品 My lord, I have remembrances of yours
我早就想還給您了 that I have long-ed long to re-deliver.
請您收回去吧 I pray you, now receive them.
不 我不要 我從沒給過你東西 Not I - I never gave you aught.
尊敬的殿下 您清楚您給過 Mine honour'd lord, you know right well you did,
還輔以許多甜言蜜語 and, with them, words of so sweet breath composed
使它們格外貴重 如今芬芳既散 as made the things more rich. Their perfume lost,
請您拿回吧 因為有骨氣的人看來 take these again, for to the noble mind
送禮的人一變心 重禮也就變輕了 rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
拿去吧 殿下 There, my lord.
你貞節嗎? Are you honest?
殿下? My lord?
你美麗嗎? 殿下是什麼意思? Are you fair? What means your lordship?
我的確曾經愛過你 I did love you, once.
真的 殿下 您曾使我相信您愛我 Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so.
你當初就不該信 我沒愛過你 You should not have believed me, I loved you not.
那麼我更受了騙了 I was the more deceived.
進尼姑庵去吧 何必生出一群罪人來呢? Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?
我還算潔身自好 I am myself indifferent honest,
但有些事我還咒駡自己 and yet I could accuse me of such things
怨我母親不該生我 it were better my mother had not borne me.
我這種傢伙 匍匐於天地間 What should such fellows as I do,
有什麼用呢? crawling between Earth and Heaven?
我們都是惡人 一個也別信 We are arrant knaves, all believe none of us.
進尼姑庵去吧 Go thy ways to a nunnery.
你的父親呢? Where's your father?
在家裡 殿下 At home, my lord.
把他關起來 Let the door be shut upon him,
讓他只好在家裡發發傻勁 that he may play the fool nowhere but in his own house.
再會 Farewell.
哎喲 天哪 救救他 O, help him, you sweet Heavens
若你終要嫁人 我送你這詛咒做嫁妝 If thou dost marry, I'll give you this plague for thy dowry
任憑你冰清玉潔 be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow,
也逃不過讒人的誹謗 thou shalt not escape calumny.
進尼姑庵吧 再會 Get thee to a nunnery, go, farewell.
要是你必須嫁人 嫁個傻瓜吧 Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool,
聰明人知道你會使他變成什麼怪物 for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them.
進尼姑庵吧 去 越快越好 再會 To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.
天上神明啊 挽救他吧 O Heavenly powers, restore him
你們煙視媚行 嬌聲嬌氣 You jig, you amble, and you lisp,
替上帝造的生物亂取名字 and nick-name God's creatures,
賣弄些無知的風騷 and make your wantonness your ignorance.
算了吧 我再不敢領教 我已經被逼瘋了 Go to, I'll no more on't, it hath made me mad.
我說 再不要結什麼婚了 I say, we will have no more marriages.
已經結婚的 只有那一個人不能活 Those that are married already, all but one, shall live,
沒有結婚的不准再結 the rest shall keep as they are.
進尼姑庵去吧 去 To a nunnery, go.
啊 一世的英才就這樣坍倒了 O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown
朝臣的眼睛 The courtier's,
學者的辯舌 soldier's
軍人的利劍 scholar's eye, tongue, sword.
國家所矚望的一朵嬌花 The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
時流的明鏡 the glass of fashion
人倫的雅範 and the mould of form,
舉世矚目的中心 the observed of all observers,
全然 quite,
全然殞落了 quite down
而我 And I,
是一切女子中最傷心而不幸的 of ladies most deject and wretched,
我曾從他音樂般的盟誓中 吮吸芬芳的甘蜜 that suck'd the honey of his music vows,
現在卻眼看著他高貴無上的理智 now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
像清幽悅耳的銀鈴失了調子 粗糙乾澀 like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh.
無比的青春美貌 That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
在瘋狂中凋謝 blasted with ecstasy.
啊 我好苦 O, woe is me,
誰料過去的繁華 to have seen what I have seen,
變作今朝的泥土 see what I see
戀愛 他的精神錯亂不是為戀愛 Love His affections do not that way tend.
他有些什麼心事 There's something in his soul,
盤踞在他的靈魂裡 o'er which his melancholy sits on brood,
我怕它也許會產生 and I do think the hatch and the disclose
危險的結果 will be some danger.
啊 奧菲利婭 How now, Ophelia
你不必複述哈姆萊特殿下的話 我們都聽見了 You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said, we heard it all.
請避一避 他來了 Away, I do beseech you, here he comes.
我去招呼他 I'll bore him presently.
您好 哈姆萊特殿下? How does my good Lord Hamlet?
好... Well...
上帝憐憫世人 God a mercy.
您認識我嗎 殿下? Do you know me, my lord?
認識認識 你是個賣魚的販子 Excellent well - you are a fishmonger.
我不是 殿下 那但願你是那樣的老實人 Not I, my lord. Then I would you were so honest a man.
老實 殿下 嗯 先生 老實人 在這世上 Honest, my lord Ay, sir, to be honest, as this world goes,
一萬人中間只不過有一個 is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.
此話不假 殿下 That's very true, my lord.
要是太陽能令死狗生蛆 For if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog,
因為它是一塊可吻的臭肉... 你有女兒嗎? being a god kissing carrion... Have you a daughter?
我有 殿下 I have, my lord.
別讓她在太陽下行走 Let her not walk in the sun.
肚裡有貨是福氣 可是別讓你女兒肚裡有東西 Conception is a blessing, but not as your daughter may conceive.
朋友 留心哪 Friend, look to 't.
你們瞧 他念念不忘我的女兒 How say you by that? Still harping on my daughter,
可最初他不認識我 說我是個賣魚的販子 yet he knew me not at first - he said I was a fishmonger.
他的瘋病已經很深了 很深了 He is far gone, far gone,
老實說 我年輕時 為了戀愛也大發其瘋 and truly in my youth I suffered much extremity for love -
正和他差不多哩 我再跟他談談 very near this. I'll speak to him again.
您在讀些什麼 殿下? What do you read, my lord?
空話 Words
空話 空話 Words, words?
是什麼事 殿下? What is the matter, my lord?
誰同誰的什麼事? Between who?
我問此書關於何事 殿下 I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
一派誹謗 先生 有個無賴諷刺說 Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here
老年人長著灰白的鬍鬚... that old men have grey beards...
他們臉上滿是皺紋... That their faces are wrinkled...
他們的眼裡沾滿了眼屎... Their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum...
他們頭腦十足是糊裡糊塗 and that they have a most plentiful lack of wit...well...
他們雙腿永遠是搖搖擺擺 together with most weak hams.
這些話 先生 雖然我十分相信 All which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe,
可照這樣寫在書上 總有些有傷厚道 yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down.
您也該跟我一樣年輕的 先生 For you yourself, sir, should be as old as I am,
如果您像螃蟹一樣會倒退的話 if like a crab you could go backward.
這些雖然是瘋話 卻有深意在內 Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.
您要進去避避風嗎 殿下? 進我的墳墓裡去? Will you walk out of the air, my lord? Into my grave?
那倒真是避風了 Indeed, that is out o' the air.
他的回答有時候多麼深刻 How pregnant sometimes his replies are
尊敬的殿下 請恕我失陪了 My honourable lord, I will most humbly take my leave of you.
先生 你從我這找不到一件 You cannot, sir, take from me anything
我更樂意"失陪"的東西 that I would more willingly part withal
除了我的生命 except my life,
除了我的生命 except my life.
再會 殿下 Fare you well, my lord.
這些討厭的老傻瓜 These tedious old fools
你們找哈姆萊特殿下 那兒就是 You go to seek the Lord Hamlet - there he is.
上帝保佑您 大人 God save you, sir
我尊貴的殿下 My honoured lord
我最親愛的殿下 My most dear lord
我的好朋友們 你好嗎 吉爾登斯吞? My excellent good friends How dost thou, Guildenstern?
啊 羅森格蘭茲 好夥計們 你們可好? Ah, Rosencrantz Good lads, how do ye both?
在世上虛度時光而已 As the indifferent children of the earth.
無榮無辱便是我們的幸福 Happy, in that we are not over-happy.
沒被命運女神頂在頭上 On fortune's cap we are not the very button.
也沒踩在腳下? 沒有 殿下 Nor the soles of her shoe? Neither, my lord.
那你們是在她腰間 或她懷抱之中嗎? Then you live about her waist, or in the middle of her favours?
相信她與我有私 Faith, her privates we.
在命運女神的私處? In the secret parts of fortune?
那就對啦 她是個娼妓 Most true, she is a strumpet.
還有什麼消息? 沒有 殿下 What's the news? None, my lord,
除了世界越來越善良了 but that the world's grown honest.
那麼世界末日近了 Then is doomsday near
可你們消息並不靈通 讓我細細問來 But your news is not true. Let me question more in particular.
朋友們 你們如何招惹了命運 What have you, my good friends, deserved at the hands of fortune
使她押你們來這間牢獄? that she sends you to prison hither?
牢獄 殿下? 丹麥是座大牢 Prison, my lord? Denmark's a prison.
那整個世界也是 Then is the world one.
很大的牢獄 裡面有許多監房 囚室 地牢 A goodly one,in which there are many confines,wards and dungeons
丹麥是其中最壞的一間 Denmark being one o' the worst.
我們倒不這樣想 殿下 We think not so, my lord.
那它對你們不是 Why, then, 'tis none to you,
其實世事本沒有善惡 全看怎樣去想 for there is nothing either good or bad,but thinking makes it so.
對我它是個牢獄 To me it's a prison.
那是您雄心過大 Why then, your ambition makes it one -
顯得丹麥太狹小了 'tis too narrow for your mind.
上帝啊 O God,
我可閉於果殼內 I could be bounded in a nut shell
而仍自認為無限之君主 and count myself a king of infinite space,
如果不做那些惡夢的話 were it not that I have bad dreams.
我們進宮裡去吧? 我等奉陪殿下 Shall we to the court? We'll wait upon you.
沒有的事 No such matter.
我不會把你們算進僕人之列 I will not sort you with the rest of my servants.
可朋友不忌直問 你們來艾爾西諾有何貴幹? But, in the beaten way of friendship, what make you at Elsinore?
來拜訪您 殿下 別無他事 To visit you, my lord, no other occasion.
不是傳你們來的嗎? Were you not sent for?
你們拜訪純粹出於自願? Is it your own inclining?
沒有條件? A free visitation?
來 不要騙我 Come, deal justly with me.
來 來 快說呀 要怎麼說呢 殿下? Come, nay, speak What should we say, my lord?
隨便 只要不說廢話 Why, anything, but to the purpose.
你們是被傳來的 你們慚愧的臉色已經招了 You were sent for,and there is a kind of confession in your looks
你們的良心遮掩不住 which your modesties have not craft enough to colour.
我知道你們是兩位好陛下請來的 I know the good king and queen have sent for you.
為了何事 殿下? To what end, my lord?
那要請你們指教我了 That you must teach me.
可是讓我請求你們 憑朋友間的道義 But let me conjure you, by the rights of our fellowship,
坦白直說 你們到底是不是被傳來的? be even and direct with me, whether you were sent for, or no?
你怎麼說? 得了 我看透了 What say you? Nay, then, I have an eye of you.
若愛我就別抵賴了吧 If you love me, hold not off.
殿下 我們的確是被傳來的 My lord, we were sent for.
我來道破原因 I will tell you why.
讓我代你們說明來意 So shall my anticipation prevent your discovery,
免得你們洩漏了秘密 有負于國王王后 and your secrecy to the king and queen moult no feather.
我近來 I have of late,
不知為什麼緣故 but wherefore I know not,
絲毫提不起興致 lost all my mirth,
遊樂也懶得過問 forgone all custom of exercise.
真的 這種抑鬱的心境使我覺得 And indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition
仿佛負載萬物的大地 只是不毛的荒岬 that this goodly frame,the Earth,seems to me a sterile promontory
這覆蓋眾生的蒼穹 this most excellent canopy, the air,
你瞧 這頂壯麗的帳幕 look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament,
這金黃火球點綴著的莊嚴屋宇 this majestical roof fretted with golden fire,
怎麼 這對於我不過是 why, it appears no other thing to me
一團汙煙瘴氣而已 than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
人類是多了不起的傑作 What a piece of work is a man
多高貴的理性 How noble in reason
多偉大的力量 How infinite in faculty
多優美的儀錶 多文雅的舉動 In form and moving, how express and admirable
行為如同天使 In action, how like an angel
靈性可媲神明 In apprehension, how like a god
宇宙的精華 The beauty of the world
萬物的靈長 The paragon of animals
可對我 這些不就是 And yet, to me, what is this...
一掊塵土? ...quintessence of dust?
人已無法令我歡欣 Man delights not me.
不 女人也是 雖然你在笑 好像不以為然 No, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.
殿下 我全無此意 My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts.
那我說"人已無法令我歡欣"時 你笑什麼? Why did you laugh then, when I said man delights not me?
您想 陛下 如果人無法令您歡欣 To think, my lord, if you delight not in man,
那班戲子不是要自討沒趣了 what Lenten entertainment the players shall receive from you.
我們趕過了他們 We coted them on the way,
他們正要來向您獻技呢 and hither are they coming, to offer you service.
什麼戲子? What players are they?
就是您向來喜歡的那個班子 Even those you were wont to take delight in,
城裡的悲劇團 the tragedians of the city.
飾演國王的人我歡迎 He that plays the king shall be welcome.
我要在他的御座前敬禮 His Majesty shall have tribute of me.
那也沒什麼希奇 我叔父是丹麥國王 It is not very strange, for mine uncle is king of Denmark,
那些在我父親生前 and there are those that would make mows at him
唾棄他的人 while my father lived,
現在都願拿出20 40 50 100金洋 who'd give twenty, forty, fifty, an hundred ducats a-piece
買他一幅小照 for his picture in little.
天呀 若用哲學方法探究 'Sblood, there is something in this more than natural,
這裡面一定大有奧妙呢 if philosophy could find it out.
戲子們來了 There are the players.
二位 歡迎你們來艾爾西諾 Gentlemen, you are welcome to Elsinore.
伸出手來 Come then, your hands.
我的叔父父親和嬸母母親搞錯了 My uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived.
搞錯什麼 我的殿下? In what, my dear lord?
天刮西北風 我才發瘋 I am but mad north-north-west.
南風時節 我還能分清鷹和鷺鷥 When the wind is southerly, I know an 'awk from an 'andsaw.
祝福你們 先生們 Well, be with you, gentlemen
你聽 吉爾登斯吞 你也聽 一邊一隻耳朵聽 Hark you, Guildenstern, and you too. At each ear a hearer -
那邊那個大嬰兒 That great baby you see there
還在繈褓之中呢 is not yet out of his swaddling-clouts.
他敢情是第二次裹進繈褓 Happily he's the second time come to them,
俗話說"人老還童" for they say an old man is twice a child.
我料他是來通報我戲子到了的 看著 I will prophesy he comes to tell me of the players - mark it.
你說得不錯 就星期一早上 正是正是 You say right, sir - Monday morning, 'twas so indeed.
殿下 我有消息通報 My lord, I have news to tell you.
殿下 我有消息通報 My lord, I have news to tell you
想當年羅歇斯在羅馬演戲... When Roscius was an actor in Rome...
戲子們到了 殿下 The actors are come hither, my lord.
嗤 嗤 憑我的名譽起誓 Buzz, buzz Upon mine honour...
"那時每個伶人都騎著驢子來" Then came each actor on his arse.
他們是全世界最好的伶人 無論悲劇 喜劇 歷史劇 The best actors in the world, either for tragedy, comedy, history
田園劇 田園喜劇 田園史劇 pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral,
歷史悲劇 歷史田園悲喜劇 tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral,
一景到底的傳統劇 或天馬行空的新派劇 scene individable, or poem unlimited.
塞內加的悲劇不嫌沉重 普魯圖斯的喜劇不嫌輕浮 Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor Plautus too light.
以色列的士師耶弗他啊 你倒有件寶貝 O Jephthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou
他有什麼寶貝 殿下? What a treasure had he, my lord?
嗨 "他有一個獨生嬌女 Why, "One fair daughter and no more,
愛她勝過掌上明珠" The which he loved passing well."
還在提我的女兒 我念得可對 耶弗他老頭? Still on my daughter. Am I not i' the right, old Jephthah?
要是您叫我耶弗他 殿下 If you call me Jephthah, my lord,
我倒有個心愛的嬌女 I have a daughter that I love passing well.
不 下句不是這樣的 Nay, that follows not.
那應當是怎樣的呢 殿下? What follows, then, my lord
歡迎 各位朋友 歡迎歡迎 You are welcome, masters, welcome, all.
我很高興看見你們健康 歡迎 列位 I am glad to see thee well. Welcome, good friends.
啊 我的老朋友 O, my old friend
啊 小姐和夫人 What, my young lady and mistress By'r lady,
小姐比上次見時更要頂著天啦 your ladyship is nearer to Heaven than when I last saw you.
上帝保佑您不要一副破鑼嗓 Pray God, your voice be not cracked within the ring.
我們先念一段劇詞吧 We'll have a speech straight.
來 試試你們的本領 來段激昂慷慨的詞 Come, give us a taste of your quality - come,a passionate speech.
殿下要聽哪一段? What speech, my lord?
我曾聽過一段臺詞 可它從沒上演過 I heard thee speak me a speech once, but it was never acted,
或者只演過一次 or, if it was, not above once, for the play, I remember,
我記得它不受大眾歡迎 pleased not the million.
對一般人不過是鹹魚吧 'Twas caviare to the general.
其中我最喜愛的 是埃涅阿斯對狄多講的故事 One speech in it I chiefly loved 'twas Aeneas' tale to Dido,
尤其是講到 and thereabout of it especially,
普裡阿摩斯被殺的一節 where he speaks of Priam's slaughter.
要是你們沒有忘記 請從這一行念起 If it live in your memory, begin at this line.
讓我想想 讓我想想 Let me see, let me see.
"野蠻的皮洛斯像猛虎一樣" 不對 "The rugged Pyrrhus, like the Hyrcanian beast," - it is not so.
但開頭是皮洛斯 "野蠻的皮洛斯" It begins with Pyrrhus, "The rugged Pyrrhus..."
"漆黑的盔甲"... "漆黑的盔甲" He whose sable arms... "..whose sable arms"
嗯 "黑得像他的殺心 賽過黑夜" Er, "black as his purpose did the night resemble.
"他潛伏在不祥的木馬之中" "When he lay couch-ed in the ominous horse,
"如今這猙獰的肌膚之上" "hath now this dread and black complexion smear'd
"更染上令人驚怖的紋章" "With heraldry more dismal, head to foot.
"現在他..." 一片 "Now is he..." Total...
"一片殷紅 如怒火熏炙" "total gules, roasted in wrath,
"全身膠黏著凝結的血塊" "And thus o'er-sized with coagulate gore,
"雙眼如紅玉 凶煞般的皮勒斯" "with eyes like carbuncles, the hellish Pyrrhus..."
皮勒斯... Pyrrhus...
"尋找普裡阿摩斯老王的蹤跡" "Old grandsire Priam seeks."
你接下去吧 So, proceed you.
上帝 殿下 念得好啊 Fore God, my lord, well spoken,
真是抑揚頓挫 曲盡其妙 with good accent and good discretion.
那老王正在苦戰 Anon he finds him,
卻不敵希臘人 他那古劍 striking too short at Greeks, his antique sword,
一點不聽他手臂的指揮 rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls,
鏘然落地 就如餓虎撲羊 repugnant to command. Unequal match'd,
皮洛斯直取普裡阿摩斯 Pyrrhus at Priam drives, in rage strikes wide,
盛怒下未能砍中 卻劍落風起 but with the whiff and wind of his fell sword
將他虛弱的老父搧倒 his unnerv-ed father falls.
那無生命的的伊霖堡 Then senseless Ilium,
似乎懂其苦難 冒著火焰的城樓 Seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top
霎時轟然坍塌 一聲巨響 stoops to his base, and with a hideous crash
震聾了皮洛斯的雙耳 看 那柄利劍 takes prisoner Pyrrhus' ear for, lo his sword,
正劈向普裡阿摩斯白首 which was declining on the milky head
卻忽然停在半空 of Reverend Priam, seem'd in the air to stick.
儼然畫中的暴君 皮洛斯矗立著 So, as a painted tyrant, Pyrrhus stood,
似乎對自己的行為漠不關心 And like a neutral to his will and matter,
一動不動 did nothing.
但我們時常見到 暴風雨前 But, as we often see, against some storm,
天上往往有片刻寧靜 a silence in the Heavens, the rack stand still,
狂風悄悄收起聲息 整個大地 the bold winds speechless and the orb below
籠罩著一片死寂 as hush as death.
片刻間 如雷鳴轟響 Anon the dreadful thunder
震裂了天空 皮洛斯再次驚起 doth rend the region, so, after Pyrrhus' pause,
喚醒了深仇大恨 arous-ed vengeance sets him new a-work.
哪怕獨眼巨人之錘 And never did the Cyclops' hammers fall
擊打戰神甲胄 那巨力的錘擊 on Mars, his armours forged for proof eterne
還不及皮洛斯流血的劍 with less remorse than Pyrrhus' bleeding sword
向普裡阿摩斯劈下 now falls on Priam.
這一段太長啦 This is too long.
像你的鬍鬚 該叫理髮師剪一剪 請繼續念吧 It shall to the barber's, with your beard. Prithee, say on.
他只聽鬧劇或穢劇 不然就打瞌睡 He's for a jig or a tale of bawdry, or he sleeps.
念吧 西古芭那段 Say on, come to Hecuba.
可是誰 But who,
誰見到了那蒙面皇后 who had seen the mobled queen?
"蒙面皇后"? 好啊 "蒙面皇后"好 The mobled queen? That's good, "mobled queen" is good.
赤腳奔走 澆在火焰上的 Run barefoot up and down, threatening the flames
是滿眼熱淚 一塊布覆在 with bisson rheum, a clout about that head
失去寶冕的頭上 where late the diadem stood.
瘦削而多產的腰身 也沒有蔽體的衣服 And for a robe, about her lank and all o'er-teemed loins,
只有在驚惶中抓到的一幅氈巾 A blanket, in the alarm of fear caught up.
誰見了這樣傷心慘目的景象 Who this had seen, with tongue in venom steep'd,
不向殘酷的命運申申毒詈 'gainst Fortune's state would treason have pronounced.
假使那時諸神曾在場目擊 But if the gods themselves did see her then
當她看見皮洛斯以殺人為戲 when she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport
正在把她丈夫的肢體臠割 in mincing with his sword her husband's limbs,
忍不住大放哀聲 那淒涼的號叫 the instant burst of clamour that she made,
除非人情一點也動不了天心 unless things mortal move them not at all,
火一樣燃燒的天眼也要為之垂淚 would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven...
神祗也要為之悲愴 ..and passion in the gods.
瞧 他已經變了臉色 眼中含著眼淚 Look, where he has not turned his colour and has tears in's eyes.
求你 別再念了吧 Pray you, no more.
那也好 'Tis well.
我們一會兒再把它念完吧 I'll have thee speak out the rest soon.
好先生 能否安頓好這班戲子? Good my lord, will you see the players well bestowed?
聽著 不可怠慢他們 Do you hear, let them be well used,
他們是這個時代的縮影 for they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time.
殿下 我會按應得的名分對他們 My lord, I will use them according to their desert.
天啊 朋友 那可不夠客氣 God's bodykins, man, much better
都照應得名分 誰逃得了一頓鞭子? Use every man after his desert, and who should 'scape whipping?
來 各位 跟他去 朋友們 Come, sirs. Follow him, friends.
明天我們聽另一齣戲 We'll hear a play tomorrow.
聽我說 老朋友 Dost thou hear me, old friend?
你們會演"貢紮古遇刺"嗎? Can you play the Murder of Gonzago?
會的 殿下 我們明晚就聽這出 Ay, my lord. We'll ha't tomorrow night.
若有必要 You could, for a need,
我會寫一段十幾行詞 study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines,
你們能排好插進去嗎? which I would set down and insert in't, could you not?
能的 殿下 那就好 Ay, my lord. Very well.
你們隨那位去吧 可千萬別取笑他 Follow that lord, and pray you, mock him not.
呃 好吧 Er...no.
兩位朋友 我們晚上再見 My good friends, I'll leave you till night.
歡迎你們來到艾爾西諾 You are welcome to Elsinore.
再會 殿下 Good my lord
好 上帝與你們同在 Ay, so, God be wi' ye.
這才只剩我一個人了 Now I am alone.
哦 我是個多麼不中用的蠢才 O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I
真是不可思議啊 看這個戲子 Is it not monstrous that this player here,
無非演一場虛構的故事 but in a fiction,
做一場激昂的幻夢 in a dream of passion,
卻能迫使靈魂都融入了想像之中 could force his soul so to his own conceit
只因為西古芭 他臉色變成慘白 that from her workings all his visage wann'd,
眼中洋溢著熱淚 神情流露著倉皇 tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect,
聲音嗚咽淒涼 他全部的動作 a broken voice, and his whole function suiting
都和人物意向吻合? with forms to his conceit?
而且完全不為什麼 And all for nothing
為了西古芭 For Hecuba
西古芭對他有何相干 他對西古芭又有何相干 What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba,
他卻要為她流淚? that he should weep for her?
假如他心裡 What would he do,
蘊著我所感覺的一腔悲憤 had he the motive and the cue for passion
他又會怎樣呢? 他會讓眼淚淹沒了舞臺 that I have? He would drown the stage in tears
用可怖的字句震裂了聽眾的耳朵 and cleave the general ear with horrid speech,
使一切有罪者發狂 無罪者驚愕 make mad the guilty and appal the free,
使愚昧無知的人驚惶失措 confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed
迷亂了所有人耳目的功能 可我呢 the very faculties of eyes and ears. Yet I,
一個糊塗蛋 可憐蟲 萎靡憔悴 a dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak,
整日醉生夢死 like John a'dreams,
對我的責任漠不關心 一言不發 unpregnant of my cause, and can say nothing.
全不管有一位國王 No, not for a king,
所有的一切 就連身家性命 upon whose property and most dear life
也被人無恥地奪了去 a damn'd defeat was made.
我是個懦夫吧? Am I a coward?
是誰叫我奸賊 Who calls me villain?
誰剖開我的腦袋 Breaks my pate across?
拔掉我的鬍鬚 噴在我臉上 Plucks off my beard, and blows it in my face?
擰我的鼻子 Tweaks me by the nose?
指著我 罵我滿嘴謊言? Gives me the lie i' the throat, as deep as to the lungs?
是誰? 哈 Who does me this? Ha
活該 我活該忍受 因為無論如何 'Swounds, I should take it, for it cannot be
我總是膽小如鼠 缺乏血性 but I am pigeon-liver'd and lack gall
不以受虐為苦 不然 to make oppression bitter, or ere this
我早該讓滿天鷲鷹來飽餐 I should have fatted all the region kites
惡人的屍肉了 with this slave's offal.
那兇惡 淫穢的奸賊 Bloody, bawdy villain
殘忍 陰險 悖理 亂倫的奸賊 Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain
復仇啊 O, vengeance
唉 我真是頭蠢驢 Why, what an ass am I
好一位勇士 This is most brave,
自己生身的慈父 that I, the son of a dear father,
被人殺害 murder'd,
天堂地獄都在呼喚我去報仇 prompted to my revenge by Heaven and Hell,
卻要學下流女人 空言洩憤 must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words,
像潑婦般罵起街來 and fall a-cursing, like a very drab,
好狗才 呸 呸 a scullion Fie upon't Foh
快興起啊 我的頭腦 About, my brain
我曾聽說 I have heard
罪人看戲時 that guilty creatures sitting at a play
受巧妙的劇情的感觸 have by the very cunning of the scene
竟能良心發現 been struck so to the soul that presently
立刻把罪狀招供 they have proclaim'd their malefactions.
因為謀殺雖然沒有口舌 也自會 For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak
顯出說話的神通 with most miraculous organ.
我要叫這班伶人 I'll have these players
上演一齣謀殺的好戲 play something like the murder of my father
給我叔父看 before mine uncle.
留心查看他的臉色 探到他的痛處 I'll observe his looks, I'll tent him to the quick.
只消他稍稍一驚 If he but blench,
我就有門路了 I know my course.
我所見的鬼魂 The spirit that I have seen
也許是惡魔 神通廣大 may be a devil and the devil hath power
可以隨意變形 對 也許 to assume a pleasing shape. Yea, and perhaps
就因為我太柔弱鬱結 out of my weakness and my melancholy,
最易被鬼迷住 他才來誘我遭劫難 as he is very potent with such spirits, abuses me to damn me.
我要比這更確切的證據 I'll have grounds More relative than this.
這台戲是機關 The play's the thing
要抓來國王的良心看一看 wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king.
你們不能婉轉探問 And can you, by no drift of conference,
查出他為何神魂顛倒嗎? get from him why he puts on this confusion?
他承認他心神恍惚 He does confess he feels himself distracted,
可絕口不提緣故 but from what cause he will by no means speak.
他也不願讓人摸底 Nor do we find him forward to be sounded,
只管巧妙地耍他的瘋把戲 but, with a crafty madness, keeps aloof,
每當我們要引他吐露一點 他就如此 when we would bring him on to some confession of his true state.
他待你們客氣嗎? Did he receive you well?
很有禮貌 可是不大自然 Most like a gentleman. But with much forcing of his disposition.
自己不說 可我們提問 他答得毫無拘束 Niggard of question, but, of our demands, most free in his reply.
有沒有勸他找些消遣? Did you assay him? To any pastime?
夫人 碰巧我們來時 Madam, it so fell out, that certain players
趕過了一班伶人 我們告訴他時 we o'er-raught on the way, of these we told him,
他聽了好像很高興 and there did seem in him a kind of joy to hear of it.
此話不假 'Tis most true.
他還托我請二位陛下 And he beseech'd me to entreat your majesties
一同去觀劇 to hear and see the matter.
太好了 我真高興聽到 With all my heart, and it doth much content me
他有這種興致 to hear him thus inclined.
先生們 Good gentlemen,
請多把他的心思轉移到這種娛樂上來 give him a further edge,and drive his purpose on to these delights
是 陛下 We shall, my lord.
我已經當機立斷 下了決心 I have in quick determination thus set it down.
立刻打發他去英國 He shall with speed to England.
漂洋過海 多跑些國度 Haply the seas and countries different
看看新鮮的事物 with variable objects will expel
也許能排解掉他的心事 This something-settled matter in his heart,
叫他的腦筋不要老是盤算它 whereon his brains still beating puts him thus
害他瘋瘋癲癲 你以為如何? from fashion of himself. What think you on't?
那當然很好 可我還是相信 It shall do well, but yet do I believe
他這種苦惱的根源 The origin and commencement of his grief
到底還是失戀 sprung from neglected love.
陛下 就依您意思吧 My lord, do as you please,
但如果您覺得適當 看戲以後 but, if you hold it fit, after the play
不妨讓他母后單獨叫他去 let his queen mother all alone entreat him
傾吐心事 請她乾脆問問他 to show his grief. Let her be round with him,
我願得陛下許可 躲在一邊 and I'll be placed, so please you, in the ear
聽他們密談 若她也探不出真情 Of all their conference. If she find him not,
就派他去英國 或把他禁閉起來 to England send him, or confine him where
全憑陛下安排 your wisdom best shall think.
就這麼辦 It shall be so.
大人物發瘋 不能不把他們看牢 Madness in great ones must not unwatch'd go.
請你們像我剛才那樣 Speak the speech, I pray you,
念這段臺詞 從舌端輕吐 as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue,
若像一般演員似的 高吟朗誦 but if you mouth it, as many of your players do,
我倒寧願請街上讀告示的來念了 I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
手也別像這樣 老在空中劈來劈去 Nor do not saw the air too much with your hands, thus,
而要雍容 越是在情感的激流 暴雨 but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest,
或是颶風之中 and, as I may say, the whirlwind of passion,
你們越要爭取節制平和 you must acquire and beget a temperance
好做到珠圓玉潤 that may give it smoothness.
我最痛心疾首的 O, it offends me to the soul
莫過於看一個戴假髮的傢伙 to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow
把深情扯得爛碎 tear a passion to tatters,
撕成碎片 震聾了站場觀眾的耳朵 to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings,
那幫人什麼也不懂 who for the most part are capable of nothing
只能賞識些喧嘩跳浪 but inexplicable dumbshows and noise.
這種傢伙我抽頓鞭子才痛快 I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant.
比暴君希律還要暴虐 求你們 別這樣 It out-Herods Herod. Pray you, avoid it.
殿下放心 I warrant your honour.
也不要太平板了 Be not too tame neither,
自己揣摩輕重 做自己的導師 but let your own discretion be your tutor.
用動作配合語言 用語言配合動作 Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.
特別要注意一點 With this special observance,
切不可超出自然的分寸 that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature.
因為無論超出哪一點 For any thing so overdone is
都背離了戲劇的初衷 from the purpose of playing, whose end,
自古至今 both at the first and last, was and is,
那都是要給人性照一面鏡子 to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature,
使美德顯示她的本相 to show virtue her own feature,
醜態露出她的原型 scorn her own image,
時代的形形色色也一同 and the very age and body of the time
呈現在我們眼前 is form and pressure.
若演得過火或不足 Now this overdone, or come tardy off,
雖可以令門外漢發笑 though it make the unskilful laugh,
卻要使明眼人唏噓了 cannot but make the judicious grieve,
一個行家的意見 the censure of the which one
要看得重于一院觀眾的信口雌黃 must in your allowance o'erweigh a whole theatre of others.
我相信我們早已改良了 殿下 I hope we have reformed that indifferently with us, sir.
哦 要徹底改掉 O, reform it altogether.
還有你們演丑角的 And let those that play your clowns
只許念劇本上寫好的道白 speak no more than is set down for them,
因為他們有些只顧自尋開心 for there be of them that will themselves laugh,
逗引少數愚蠢觀眾也哄笑一番 to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too,
全不管劇中有緊要問題 though, in the mean time, some necessary question of the play be
讓人思考 then to be considered.
這真可惡 That's villanous,
表現了那丑角可憐的愚妄 and shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it.
去準備吧 怎麼樣 大人 Go, make you ready. How now, my lord
王上也要來聽這齣戲嗎? Will the king hear this piece of work?
王后也要來 馬上就到了 And the queen too, and that presently.
叫戲子們趕快吧 Bid the players make haste.
你們也去催催好嗎? Will you two help to hasten them?
是 殿下 We will, my lord.
喂 霍拉旭 親愛的殿下 敬請吩咐 What ho Horatio Here, sweet lord, at your service.
霍拉旭 你是我結交的 Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man
最公正的人 as e'er my conversation coped withal.
親愛的殿下 O, my dear lord.
我不是恭維你 Nay, do not think I flatter. Dost thou hear?
自從我的靈魂會自己選擇 Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice
懂得識人之後 and could of men distinguish, her election
它就挑中了你 只要我看見誰 hath seal'd thee for herself. Give me that man
不是感情的奴隸 我便要把他 that is not passion's slave, and I will wear him
珍藏在心坎裡 對 心坎的心坎裡 in my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,
我對你就是 不多說了 as I do thee. Something too much of this.
今夜要在國王面前演一齣戲 There is a play tonight before the king.
其中一場就像我給你講的 One scene of it comes near the circumstance
我父親的死狀一樣 which I have told thee of my father's death.
我請求你 看到那一場時 I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,
集中你全副精神 even with the very comment of thy soul,
觀察我叔父 假如他隱藏的罪惡 observe mine uncle. If his occulted guilt
那時並無流露 do not itself unkennel in one speech,
那我們見到的准是惡鬼 it is a damned ghost that we have seen,
我的想像太污穢 像火神的打鐵鋪了 and my imaginations are as foul as Vulcan's smithy.
好 殿下 假如他看戲時有一刻逃離我視線 Well, my lord, if he steal aught the whilst this play is playing
我甘願受罰 and 'scape detecting, I will pay the theft.
他們看戲來了 They are coming to the play.
我得裝瘋 你請自便 I must be idle. Get you a place.
哈姆萊特賢侄可好? How fares our cousin Hamlet?
很好 Excellent, i' faith,
吃的是蜥蜴的糖食 吃著空氣 裡面塞滿空話 of the chameleon's dish I eat the air, promise-crammed.
你是答非所問 哈姆萊特 這與我無關 I have nothing with this answer,Hamlet,these words are not mine.
也與我無關了 No, nor mine now.
大人 您說您在大學演過戲? My lord, you played once i' the university, you say?
不錯 殿下 我還是個好演員呢 That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor.
你演過什麼? What did you enact?
我演的凱撒 I did enact Julius Caesar.
我被殺在大廟裡 I was killed i' the Capitol.
布魯圖斯殺的 Brutus killed me.
他真"魯"莽 殺了這麼大一頭牛犢 It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there.
伶人好了嗎? Be the players ready?
是 殿下 聽您吩咐 Ay, my lord, they stay upon your patience.
過來 親愛的哈姆萊特 坐我旁邊 Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me.
不 好母親 No, good mother,
這有吸力更大的磁石 here's metal more attractive.
啊哈 你聽見沒有? O, ho Do you mark that?
小姐 我能躺在您腿間嗎? Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
不 殿下 我是說 枕著您的腿? No, my lord. I mean, my head upon your lap?
好 殿下 你以為我撒野嗎? Ay, my lord. Do you think I meant country matters?
我不以為什麼 殿下 I think nothing, my lord.
躺在姑娘腿間 這想法倒挺美 That's a fair thought. To lie between maids' legs.
什麼 殿下? What is, my lord?
沒什麼 您真愛開玩笑 Nothing. You are merry, my lord.
誰 我? 是 殿下 Who, I? Ay, my lord.
天呀 我是最會作樂的 否則還能做什麼呢? O God, your only jig-maker. What should a man do but be merry?
你看 我母親的樣子多麼開心 For, look, how cheerfully my mother looks,
我父親才死了兩個鐘頭呢 and my father died these two hours.
不 已經兩月又兩月了 殿下 Nay, 'tis twice two months, my lord.
這麼久? So long?
那讓魔鬼穿孝去吧 Nay then, let the devil wear black,
我要穿起貂皮了 for I'll have a suit of sables.
我的天 O heavens
死了兩個月 還沒被遺忘嗎? Die two months ago, and not forgotten yet?
死嘍 Dead
這怎麼講 殿下? What means this, my lord?
喲 這是鬼鬼祟祟 沒有好事 Marry, this is miching mallecho. It means mischief.
這幕默劇就是宣告正劇情節的吧 Belike this show imports the argument of the play.
他會告訴我們 We shall know by this fellow -
演員不能瞞人 得全說出來 the players cannot keep counsel. They'll tell all.
今夜來獻醜 上演悲劇 For us, and for our tragedy,
先向各位來把躬一鞠 請寬宏大量 看到結局 Here stooping to your clemency, we beg your hearing patiently.
這算開場白 還是戒指上的銘文? Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring?
太短了 殿下 Tis brief, my lord.
就像女人的愛情 As woman's love.
日輪已經盤繞三十春秋 Full 30 years hath passed in sacred banns
自從愛把我們締結良姻 月老證下鴛盟 since love our hearts and Hymen joined our hands.
願日月繼續他們的周遊 So many journeys may the sun and moon
讓我們再廝守三十春秋 make us again count o'er ere love be done

你該在花花世界裡安享天年 And thou shalt live in this fair world behind,

我斷不是那樣薄情人 Such love must needs be treason in my breast.
若再嫁丈夫 活該我受盡詛咒 In second husband let me be accurst
再嫁的就是謀殺親夫的兇手 None wed the second but who kill'd the first.
那何異於把已故的丈夫再砍一刀 A second time I kill my husband dead,
若我讓第二個丈夫在床上吻抱 when second husband kisses me in bed.
我相信你的話發自心田 I do believe you think what now you speak
可是我們往往自食前言 but what we do determine oft we break.
你以為你自己不會再嫁 So think thou wilt no second husband wed,
只怕我一死你就要變卦 but die thy thoughts when thy first lord is dead.
地不要養我 天不要亮我 Nor Earth to me give food, nor heaven light
晝不得遊樂 夜不得安臥 Sport and repose lock from me day and night
讓我生前死後永陷沉淪 Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife,
倘若我死了丈夫再嫁新人 if, once a widow, ever I be wife
現在可別背誓啊 If she should break it now
難為你發這樣重誓 'Tis deeply sworn.
愛人 你且去 Sweet, leave me here awhile.
我神思昏倦 My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile
想要小睡片刻 the tedious day with sleep.
願你安睡 Sleep rock thy brain,
上天保佑我倆永無災禍 and never come mischance between us twain
母后 您覺得這戲如何? Madam, how like you this play?
我覺得那女人申辯得太多了些 The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
啊 可她會守約的 這戲是什麼情節? O, but she'll keep her word. Have you heard the argument?
裡面沒什麼罪行吧? Is there no offence in't?
沒有 開玩笑毒死人罷了 No, no, they do but jest, poison in jest.
絕沒有什麼罪行 No offence i' the world.

看看就明白 出色的惡作劇 You shall see anon.'Tis a knavish piece of work,
可那又怎樣? but what o' that?
陛下和我們都沒做過虧心事 傷不到我們 Your majesty and we that have free souls, it touches us not.
帶傷的拐腿馬才戰慄 我們肩上並沒有傷 Let the gall-ed jade wince, our withers are unwrung.
這人叫硫西安納斯 是國王的侄子 Ah, this is one Lucianus, nephew to the king.
您是個好旁白 殿下 You are as good as a chorus, my lord.
若是搬演你和你情人的故事 I could interpret between you and your love,
我也能解說 if I could see the puppets dallying.
您真尖刻 殿下 您真尖刻 You are keen, my lord, you are keen.
動手吧 兇手 Begin, murderer.
混帳東西 別扮鬼臉了 動手吧 Pox, leave thy damnable faces, and begin.
來 烏鴉哇哇發出復仇的啼聲 Come, the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.
黑心 Thoughts black,
快手 妙藥 良機 hands apt, drugs fit, and time agreeing.

讓他的生命速歸於幻滅 on wholesome life usurp immediately.
他在花園毒死他 謀朝篡位 He poisons him in the garden for his estate.
他叫貢紮古 His name's Gonzago.
這戲原是優美的義大利文 The play is extant, and writ in choice Italian.

得到貢紮古夫人的愛了 gets the love of Gonzago's wife.
王上站起來了 怎麼 給空槍嚇怕了嗎? The king rises. What, frighted with false fire?

點火把來 Give me some light.
去 火把 火把 火把 Away Lights, lights, lights
