这封信上说阿拉贡的 I learnin this letter that Don Pedro
唐·佩德罗今天到麦西纳 of Arragon comes this day to Messina.
离得很近了，不到9英里 He is very near by this, not three leagues off.
这次战斗中损失了多少人？ Have any gentlemen been lost in this action?
没几个，都是些无名小卒 But few of any sort, and none of name.
全军凯旋的胜利就是双倍胜利 A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers.
信中说唐·佩德罗对一个名叫 I find here that Don Pedro hath bestowed much honor
克罗迪奥的佛罗伦萨年轻人 褒奖甚丰 upon a young Florentine called Claudio.
对他来说是名至实归 Much deserved on his part
而唐·佩德罗是有功必奖 and equally remembered by Don Pedro,
他的表现超出年龄所及 he hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age,
外表像羔羊，却勇猛如狮子 doing, in the figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion. Rarh!
请问剑客先生从战场回来了吗？ I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?
我不知道这个名字，小姐 I know none of that name, lady.
她是说班尼迪克先生 My cousin means Signior Benedick of Padua.
哦，他回来了 O, he's returned
像以前一样可爱风趣 and as pleasant as ever he was.
请问他在战场 杀死多少？吃掉多少？ I pray you, how many hath he killed and eaten in these wars?
先说他杀死了多少？ But how many hath he killed?
我答应过他 把他杀死的全吃掉 For indeed I promised to eat all of his killing.
侄女，你挖苦 班尼迪克先生太狠了 Faith, niece, you tax Signior Benedick too much,
我敢说，他不会饶你的 but he'll be meet with you, I doubt it not.
他在战场上表现很好，小姐 He hath done good service, lady, in these wars.
你那堆发霉军粮，他都帮你吃掉 You had musty victual, and he hath holp to eat it.
他是个勇猛的贪吃鬼 食量大得很 He is a very valiant trencherman, he hath an excellent stomach.
也是个很好的战士，小姐 And a good soldier too, lady.
在女人面前是好战士 And a good soldier to a lady.
在贵族面前是什么呢？ But what is he to a lord?
贵族面前的贵族 男子汉面前的男子汉 A lord to a lord, a man to a man,
充满了可敬的美德 stuffed with all honorable virtue.
确实如此 It is so, indeed,
只不过是个大饭桶 he is no less than a stuffed man.
千万别误会我侄女的话 You must not, sir, mistake my niece.
班尼迪克先生和她说笑惯了 There is a kind of merry war betwixt Signior Benedick and her.
两人一见面就唇枪舌剑 They never meet but there's a skirmish of wit between them.
他现在的同伴是谁？ 听说他每月都换把兄弟 Who is his companion now? He hath every month a new sworn brother.
有这事吗？ Is't possible?
很有可能 Very easily possible.
他对友谊像对帽子的款式 常随心情而换 He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat, it ever changes with the next block.
小姐，我看出这位先生 不在你的宠爱名单中 I see, lady, the gentleman is not in your books.
是的，如果在，我就把书房烧掉 No, and he were, I would burn my study.
请问，他现在的同伴是谁？ But, I pray you, who is his companion?
难道没有轻狂的小伙子 愿跟他一起鬼混吗？ Is there no young squarer now that will make a voyage with him to the devil?
他和尊贵的克罗迪奥来往最亲密 He is most in the company of the right noble Claudio.
哦，天啊，他会像瘟疫一样缠住他 O, lord, he will hang upon him like a disease.
他比瘟疫传染得还快 He is sooner caught than the pestilence,
谁被传染，谁就会疯掉 and the taker runs presently mad.
上帝帮帮尊贵的克罗迪奥吧！ O, God help the noble Claudio!
如果染上班尼迪克 得花一千镑才能治好 If he have caught the Benedick, it will cost him a thousand pound ere he be cured.
里昂纳多先生，你是迎接麻烦来了 Good Signior Leonato, You are come to welcome your trouble.
世上流行避免麻烦，你却迎上前来 The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.
我家从没来过你这般优雅的麻烦 Never came trouble to my house in the likeness of your grace.
因为麻烦去了，感觉如释重负 For trouble being gone, comfort should remain.
而你离开时 快乐亦离去，只留下忧伤 But when you depart from me sorrow abides and happiness takes his leave.
你太愿意自讨麻烦了 Hmm, you embrace your charge too willingly.
这是你女儿吧？ I think this is your daughter.
她母亲总对我这样说 Her mother hath many times told me so.
你是不是有疑惑才问她？ Were you in doubt, sir, that you asked her?
没有，班尼迪克先生 你那时还小 Signior Benedick, no, for then were you a child.
确实，这位小姐长得很像父亲 Truly, truly, the lady fathers herself.
你真幸福，小姐 长得很像尊贵的父亲 Be happy, lady, for you are like an honorable father.
里昂纳多先生要是她父亲 If Signior Leonato be her father,
给她整个麦西纳，她也不愿 双肩上长个像他的头 She would not have his head on her shoulders for all Messina as like him as she is.
怎么还在说，班尼迪克先生？ 没人听啦 I wonder that you would still be talking, Signior Benedick. Nobody marks you.
怎么，亲爱的傲慢小姐！ 你还活着？ What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?
有班尼迪克先生那样的 精神食粮，傲慢怎会死去？ Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
如果有你出现 谦恭也会变成傲慢 Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come in her presence.
那谦恭就是反复无常的小人 Then is courtesy a turncoat.
毫无疑问，所有女人都爱我 只有你除外 But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted,
真希望我不是那么铁石心肠 and I would I could find it in my heart that I had not a hard heart,
因为我真的一个都不爱 for, truly, I love none.
那真是女人的福气 Dear happiness to women, else would they
否则她们会被你 这讨厌的追求者烦死 have been troubled with a pernicious suitor.
感谢上帝和我的冷血 我和你想法一样 I thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humor for that.
宁愿听我的狗对乌鸦叫 也不愿听男人发誓说爱我 I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.
愿上帝保佑小姐你想法不变 God keep your ladyship still in that mind
某位男士就可以逃脱 脸被抓破的恶运 so some gentleman or other shall 'scape a predestinate scratched face.
脸抓破不会倒霉 长了你那副尊容倒是会 Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such a face as yours were.
你真是少有的驯鹦鹉好手 Well, you are a rare parrot-teacher.
学我说话的鸟比向你学的畜生强 Um, a bird of my tongue is better than a beast of yours.
希望我的马像你舌头一样快 像你一样不知疲倦 I would my horse had the speed of your tongue, and so good a continuer.
你接着说，恕不奉陪 But keep in your way, God's name, I have done.
说不过就学劣马溜号 You always end with a jade's trick.
我知道你这老一套 I know you of old.
班尼迪克先生，我的朋友 里昂纳多邀请大家住下 Signior Benedick, my dear friend Leonato hath invited you all.
我说我们至少要待一个月 I tell him we shall stay here at the least the month,
他诚心希望有什么事 能留我们住得更长 and he heartily prays some occasion may detain us longer.
小姐 Lady.
让我来欢迎你吧，大人 Let me bid you welcome, my lord.
你已与令兄和解 我该向你竭诚致敬 Being reconciled with the prince your brother, I owe you all duty.
谢谢 thank you.
我不善言词，但我感谢你 I am not of many words, but I thank you.
你在前面领路吧 Please it your grace lead on?
把手给我，里昂纳多 咱们一起走 Your hand, Leonato. We will go together.
班尼迪克，有没有注意 里昂纳多的女儿？ Benedick, didst thou note the daughter of Signior Leonato?
看见了，可我没注意 I noted her not, but I looked on her.
她不是位贤淑的少女吗？ Is she not a modest young lady?
你是作为正直的人 Do you question me, as an honest man should do,
询问我的真实判断 for my simple true judgment,
还是要我按自己习惯 以统治女性的暴君发表意见？ or would you have me speak after my custom, as being a professed tyrant to their sex?
不，请根据你冷静的判断 No, I pray thee speak in sober judgment.
好，老实说，我觉得 她太矮不能给予太高的恭维 Why, i' faith, methinks she is too low for a high praise,
太黑不能给予太美的赞扬 太小不能给予太大的赞美 too brown for a fair praise, too little for a great praise.
我能给她唯一的称赞是 Only this commendation I can afford her,
如果她不是现在这样 that were she other than she is,
那她一定不漂亮 she were unhandsome,
既然她不能更漂亮 所以我不喜欢她 and being no other than as she is, I do not like her.
你以为我说着玩 请说实话，你觉得她怎样 Thou thinkest I am in sport. I pray thee tell me truly how thou likest her.
你这样打听，是想买下她吗？ Would you buy her, that you inquire after her?
全世界财富能买下这样的珍宝吗？ Can the world buy such a jewel?
可以，外加装珍宝的盒子 Yea, and a case to put it into.
你说这话时为何愁眉不展？ But speak you this with a sad brow?
在我眼中，她是我生平所见 最可爱的姑娘 In mine eye she is the sweetest lady that ever I looked on.
我看东西还不用眼镜 但我看不出这般情景 I can see yet without spectacles and I see no such matter.
那是她堂妹，若不像凶神附身 比她漂亮得多 There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty
如5月初的春潮 胜过12月底的岁末 as the first of May doth the last of December.
可我希望你不是想做丈夫了吧？ But I hope you have no intent to turn husband, have you?
虽然我曾发誓不娶 I would scarce trust myself,
但如希罗愿做我妻 我也拿不定主意 though I had sworn the contrary, if Hero would be my wife.
果真到了如此地步？ Is it come to this?
再也见不到60岁的单身汉了？ Shall I never see a bachelor of three-score again?
算啦，如你非要给自己套上枷锁 Go ty i' faith, an thou wilt needs thrust thy neck into a yoke,
那就带着勒痕，星期天在家叹气吧 wear the print of it and sigh away Sundays.
你们不随里昂纳多走 在这谈什么秘密？ What secret hath held you here, that you followed not Leonato?
我情愿等您逼我说出 I would your grace would constrain me to tell.
你要臣从，我命令你说 I charge thee on thy allegiance.
哦，臣从，你提到臣从 我必须臣从，他恋爱了 O, on my allegiance? Mark you this. On my allegiance he is in love.
和谁？这应是您的问题 请注意他的回答多么简短 With who? Now that is your grace's part. Mark you how short his answer is.
和希罗，里昂纳多矮小的女儿 With Hero, Leonato's short daughter.
阿门，如果真爱她 这位小姐值得你爱 Amen, if you love her, for the lady is very well worthy.
您这是诱我吐露真情 You speak this to fetch me in, my lord.
老实说，我是真心的 By my troth, I speak my thought.
我说的是真心话，大人 And, in faith, my lord, I spoke mine.
老实说又老实讲，大人 我说的也是真话 And, by my two faiths and troths, my lord, I spoke mine.
我真的爱她 That I love her I feel.
我知道她值得爱 And that she is worthy, I know.
我即不觉得她哪里可爱 That I neither feel how she should be loved
也不知有什么值得爱 nor know how she should be worthy
我的看法，大火也烧不掉 is the opinion that fire cannot melt out of me.
烧死我，还是带着这个观点 I will die in it at the stake.
你是排斥美貌的顽固另类 Thou wast ever an obstinate heretic in the despite of beauty.
女人生我，我致以感激 That a woman conceived me, I give her thanks,
女人育我，我同样致以 最谦恭的感谢 that she brought me up, I likewise give her most humble thanks.
但要在我额头吹响号角 But that I will have a recheat winded in my forehead,
用无形肩带给我挂上喇叭 or hang my bugle from an invisible baldrick,
那只好请全体女人原谅 all women shall pardon me.
因为我不能委屈她们 猜疑任何人 Because I will not do them the wrong to mistrust any,
我只能厚待自己，谁都不相信 I will do myself the right to trust none.
结论就是，说得更漂亮些 And the fine is, for the which I may go the finer,
我愿意终生独身 I will live a bachelor.
我死前，会看到你为爱憔悴 I shall see thee, ere I die, look pale with love.
我可能因愤怒，因疾病 With anger, with sickness,
因饥饿而憔悴，大人 但不会因为爱情 or with hunger, my lord, not with love.
好，就让时间来考验吧 Well, as time shall try.
有一天，野牛也会俯首就轭 "In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke."
野牛也许会，但如果 理性的班尼迪克也会上套 The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it,
就拔下牛角插在我头上 pluck off the bull's horns and plant them in my forehead
在我身上乱涂乱画 and let me be vilely painted,
像他们那样写上大字 “此处有好马出租” and in such great letters as they write, "Here is good horse to hire,"
牌子下面写上 “请看已婚男班尼迪克” let them signify under my sign, "Here may you see Benedick the married man."
不，如果丘比特的箭 没在威尼斯射完 Nay, if Cupid have not spent all his quiver in Venice,
他很快就会使你颤抖 thou wilt quake for this shortly.
地震才能使我颤抖 I look for an earthquake too, then.
里昂纳多有儿子吗，大人？ Hath Leonato any son, my lord?
没有，希罗是他唯一后嗣 No child but Hero, she's his only heir.
你真的爱她吗，克罗迪奥？ Dost thou affect her, Claudio?
哦，大人，当我们奔赴 刚结束的这场战事时 O, my lord, when you went onward on this ended action,
我以军人的眼光看她 虽然倾慕 I look'd upon her with a soldier's eye, that liked,
但严酷任务当前 无法顾及儿女情长 but had a rougher task in hand than to drive liking to the name of love.
现在我回来了 Now. I'am back
战争的念头已经退去 and that war-thoughts have left their places vacant,
代之而来的是缕缕柔情 in their rooms come thronging soft and delicate desires,
这柔情不断提醒我 年轻的希罗多么美丽 all prompting me how fair young Hero is,
还说：出征前我就喜欢她 saying, "I liked her ere I went to wars."
你很快就会像恋爱中人 Thou wilt be like a lover presently
用长篇絮语让听者厌烦 and tire the hearer with a book of words.
如果你真爱美丽的希罗 那就珍惜吧 If thou dost love fair Hero, cherish it,
我去向她和她父亲说明 and I will break with her and with her father,
让你如愿以偿 and thou shalt have her.
我知道我们今晚有化妆舞会 I know we shall have reveling to-night. Hmm.
我可以化妆冒充是你 I will assume thy part in some disguise
告诉美丽的希罗，我是克罗迪奥 and tell fair Hero I am Claudio,
向她内心倾诉我的心曲 and in her bosom I'll unclasp my heart
用我炽热的情话 and take her hearing prisoner with the force
俘获她的芳心 and strong encounter of my amorous tale.
然后去向她父亲挑明 Then after to her father will I break,
最终她定将属于你 and the conclusion is she shall be thine.
多好的时光啊，大人 What the good-year, my lord.
你为何还这样闷闷不乐？ Why are you thus out of measure sad?
没有办法阻止烦恼产生 There is no measure in the occasion that breeds,
因此我的烦恼没有止境 therefore the sadness is without limit.
你应该听从理性 You should hear reason.
听从理性又能得到什么慰藉？ And when I have heard it, what blessing brings it?
即使不能立刻解决 至少能有忍受的耐心 If not a present remedy, at least a patient sufferance.
我无法掩饰自己本性 I cannot hide what I am.
有烦恼我就忧愁 别人说笑也笑不出来 I must be sad when I have cause and smile at no man's jests,
饿了我就吃 不会等待别人空闲 eat when I have stomach and wait for no man's leisure,
困了我就睡 不管别人是否有事 sleep when I am drowsy and tend on no man's business,
高兴我就笑 决不迎合别人的心情 laugh when I am merry and claw no man in his humor.
但你如今在别人管束之下 Yea, but you must not make the full show of
不能完全随心所欲 this till you may do it without controlment.
最近你与令兄对着干 You have of late stood out against your brother,
他给你恩宠与你和解 and he hath ta'en you newly into his grace,
你不可能在他恩宠中生根 where it is impossible you should take true root
只能自己制造良好气氛 but by the fair weather that you make yourself.
我宁愿做篱笆上的烂洞 I had rather be a canker in a hedge
也不愿做受他恩宠的玫瑰 than a rose in his grace,
那更符合我的秉性 and it better fits my blood to be disdained
宁愿受大家鄙夷 of all than to fashion a carriage
也不愿谄媚偷取他人欢心 to rob love from any.
虽不能说我是 善于阿谀的正人君子 In this, though I cannot be said to be a flattering honest man,
但不能否认 我是光明正大的小人 it must not be denied but I am a plain-dealing villain.
口罩捂嘴表示对我信任 木桩拴脚表示给我自由 I am trusted with a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog.
如果我长了自己的嘴 If I had my mouth,
那我就要咬人 I would bite.
你不能用这不满情绪做些事吗？ Can you make no use of your discontent?
我对此充分利用 这是我仅有的武器 I make all use of it, for I use it only.
有什么消息，波拉奇奥？ What news, Borachio?
我刚从盛大晚宴上出来 I came yonder from a great supper.
你哥哥亲王殿下 受到里昂纳多的盛情款待 The prince your brother, is royally entertained by Leonato,
我向你透露一桩计划中的婚事 and I can give you intelligence of an intended marriage.
我们能在这上面捣捣乱吗？ Will it serve for any model to build mischief on?
那个自找麻烦的傻瓜是谁？ What is he for a fool that betroths himself to unquietness?
就是你哥的左右手 Marry, it is your brother's right hand.
谁？ Who?
最优秀的克罗迪奥？ The most exquisite Claudio?
正是他 Even he.
一位高雅的绅士 A proper squire.
谁？是谁？他看中了谁？ And who, and who? Which way looks he?
希罗小姐 里昂纳多的女儿和继承人 Marry, on Hero, the daughter and heir of Leonato.
一只早熟的小母鸡 A very forward March-chick.
我听到他们商定 由亲王向希罗求婚 I heard it agreed upon that the prince should woo Hero for himself,
到手后，再把她让给 克罗迪奥伯爵 and having obtained her, give her to Count Claudio.
来，过来，我们到那边去 Come, come, let us thither.
也许我可以借此出口怨气 This may prove food to my displeasure.
那个年轻新贵夺走了我所有荣誉 That young start-up hath all the glory of my overthrow.
如能让他受些挫折 也好让我拍手称快 If I can cross him in any way, I bless myself every way.
你们俩都很忠诚，愿意帮我吧？ You are both sure, and will assist me?
誓死效忠，大人 To the death, my lord.
约翰伯爵没来赴晚宴？ Was not Count John here at supper?
我没看见他 I saw him not.
那位先生多么阴沉 How tartly that gentleman looks.
每次看见他 我的胃都要难受一个时辰 I never can see him but I am heart-burned for an hour after.
他的性格非常忧郁 He is of a very melancholy disposition.
如能把他和班尼迪克折衷一下 He were an excellent man that were made just in the midway
那将是个极优秀的人 between him and Benedick.
一个像泥塑木雕，一言不发 The one is too like an image and says nothing,
一个像骄纵的少爷 夸夸其谈，喋喋不休 the other too like my lady's eldest son, evermore tattling.
说实话，侄女，如果你总这么刻薄 这辈子也嫁不出去 My troth, niece, thou wilt never get thee a husband, if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue.
为了这份福气，我日夜跪求上帝 O, for the which blessing I am on my knees every morning and evening.
大人，我无法容忍满脸胡须的男人 那还不如裹在毛毯里 Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face. I had rather lie in the woolen.
也许你会遇到没胡子的丈夫 You may light upon a husband that hath no beard.
那我拿他做什么？ What would I do with him?
给他穿上我的衣服，做我的仆妇？ Dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman?
有胡子的不再青春年少 He that hath a beard is more than a youth,
没胡子的算不得堂堂须眉 and he that hath no beard is less than a man,
不复青春的人我不要 and he that is more than a youth is not for me,
没有男子气概的我也不要 and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.
我相信你父亲会管教你 I trust you will be ruled by your father.
是的，我堂妹会遵守规矩 曲膝行礼说： Yes. Faith, it is my cousin's duty to make curtsy and say,
"父亲，听凭您作主" "Father, as it please you."
话虽如此，堂妹 他一定得要仪表堂堂 And yet for all that, cousin, let him be a handsome fellow,
否则就再曲膝行礼说： or else make another curtsy
"父亲，让我自己作主吧" and say, "Father, as it please me."
好，侄女，希望能看到你 找到如意郎君 Well, niece, I hope to see you one day fitted with a husband.
那要等上帝不用泥 而用金属重造男人 Not till God make men of some other metal than earth.
小姐，愿和朋友散散步吗？ Lady, will you walk about with your friend?
希望你喜欢我 Well, I would you did like me.
为你好，还是不要吧 因为我缺点很多 So would not I, for your own sake, for I have many ill-qualities.
什么缺点？ Hmm. Which is one?
我说祈祷词声音很大 I say my prayers aloud.
我更爱你了 听者可以高呼："阿门" I love you the better, the hearers may cry, "Amen."
上帝，给我个好舞伴吧 God, match me with a good dancer.
不愿说是谁告诉你的吗？ Will you not tell me who told you so?
不行，请你原谅 No, you shall pardon me.
也不愿说你是谁？ Nor will you tell me who you are?
现在还不行 Not now.
说我目中无人 That I was disdainful,
说我的俏皮话 都是从《笑话百篇》中学来的… and that I had my good wit out of the Hundred Merry Tales..
这话肯定是班尼迪克先生说的 Well, this was Signior Benedick that said so.
他是谁？ What's he?
你肯定和他非常熟 I'm sure you know him well enough.
请相信，我不认识他 Not I, believe me.
他没有把你逗笑过？ Did he never make you laugh?
请告诉我，他是谁？ I pray you, what is he?
他是亲王手下逗笑的小丑 Why, he is the prince's jester.
极无聊的傻瓜 A very dull fool,
唯一本领就是捏造无稽谣言 only his gift is in devising impossible slanders.
除了浪荡子外没人喜欢他 None but libertines delight in him,
他们欣赏的不是他的机智 而是他的邪恶 and his commendation is not in his wit, but in his villainy,
即逗他们笑，又惹他们生气 for he both pleases men and angers them,
所以他们即笑他又打他 and then they laugh at him and beat him.
他肯定在人群中 I'm sure he's in the fleet.
希望他会碰到我 I would he had boarded me.
等认识这位先生 我会把你的话告诉他 When I know the gentleman, I'll tell him what you say.
好，请务必转告 Do, do.
他只会用不伦不类的比喻取笑我 He'll but break a comparison or two on me, which, peradventure not marked
如果没人注意 没人发笑，他会郁闷的 and not laughed at, sends him into melancholy,
一只松鸡翅膀可以省下 因为那傻瓜会一晚吃不下饭 and then there's a partridge wing saved, for the fool will eat no supper that night.
咱们得跟着领舞的人 We must follow the leaders.
所有好事都应如此 In every good thing.
不，如果他们领错了 下个转身我就离开 Nay, if they lead to any ill, I will leave them at the next turning.
你不是班尼迪克先生吗？ Are not you Signior Benedick?
你和我很熟，我就是 You know me well, I am he.
先生，你和我 坠入爱河的兄弟关系很近 Signior, you are very near my brother in his love.
他深深迷恋上了希罗 He is enamored on Hero.
请你劝他离开吧 I pray you, dissuade him from her.
她配不上他的门第 She is no equal for his birth.
你这样做是尽朋友本分 You may do the part of an honest man in it.
你怎么知道他爱她？ How know you he loves her?
我听见他明确表示爱慕之情 I heard him swear his affection.
我也听见了 So did I too,
他今晚发誓说要娶她 and he swore he would marry her to-night.
走吧，都去喝酒吧 Come, let us to the banquet.
确实这样，亲王在为自己求婚 'Tis certain so, the prince woos for himself.
友谊在所有事上都忠诚不二 Friendship is constant in all other things
但在执政和爱情方面除外 save in the offices and affairs of love,
美貌是女巫，她的魔力 会让忠诚化为情欲 for beauty is a witch against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
克罗迪奥伯爵？ Count Claudio?
是我 Yea, the same.
来，跟我走 亲王已夺走你的希罗 Come, go with me. The prince hath got your Hero.
那就希望他们快乐 I wish him joy of her.
你认为亲王真会那样对你？ Did you think the prince would have used you thus?
请让我单独待会儿 I pray you, leave me.
嚯！你怎么像瞎子样乱打 Ho! Now you strike like the blind man.
孩子偷了你的肉，你却打树桩 'Twas the boy that stole your meat, and you will beat the post.
如果你不走，我走 If it will not be, I'll leave you.
唉，可怜的受伤小鸟 Alas, poor hurt fowl.
他要钻进芦苇丛 Now will he creep into sedges.
可我的碧翠丝小姐 But that my Lady Beatrice
应该认识我，却没认出我 should know me, and not know me.
说我是亲王的小丑？ The prince's fool?
也许因我爱说笑 所以有那样的名头 It may be I go under that title because I am merry.
但我不能看轻自己 我的名声不是那样 Yea, but so I am apt to do myself wrong, I am not so reputed.
这话不太好听 但一定是碧翠丝尖酸刻薄 It is the base, though bitter, disposition of Beatrice
把她的话当成世人意见来诽谤我 that puts the world into her person and so gives me out.
好，我定要设法复仇 Well, I will be revenged as I may.
先生，伯爵在哪儿？ 你看见他了吗？ Now, signior, where's the count? Did you see him?
不瞒你说，大人，我看见他 像猎场小屋般忧郁孤独 Troth, my lord, I found him as melancholy as a lodge in a warren.
我想我说的是实情，我告诉他 I told him, and I think I told him true,
你已经得到那位年轻小姐的芳心 that your grace had got the good will of this young lady here.
碧翠丝小姐很生你的气 The Lady Beatrice hath a quarrel to you.
和她跳舞的那位先生 The gentleman that danced with her
跟她说了你许多坏话 told her she is much wronged by you.
她对我的侮辱连顽石都无法忍受！ O, she misused me past the endurance of a block!
她不知道在她面前的是我 She told me, not thinking I had been myself,
说我是亲王的小丑 that I was the prince's jester.
说我比解冻时的泥巴还烂 That I was duller than a great thaw,
她将讥讽源源不断加在我身上 huddling jest upon jest with such impossible conveyance
我好像站在箭垛旁 全军对着我万箭齐发 that I stood like a man at a mark, with a whole army shooting at me.
她的话语像匕首，字字句句刺痛人 She speaks poniards, and every word stabs.
如果她呼气如说话般恶毒 If her breath were as terrible as her terminations,
她的周围将没有活物 there would be no living near her.
她的毒气会熏到北极星 She would infect to the north star.
就算把亚当堕落前 拥有的一切都给她陪嫁 I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that
我也不会娶她 Adam had left him before he transgressed.
算了，不提她了 Come, talk not of her.
愿上帝派位懂魔咒的学者降伏她 I would to God some scholar would conjure her.
因为只要她在这儿 For certainly, while she is here,
一切混乱、恐怖、纷扰 都会随她而来 all disquiet, horror, and perturbation follows her.
看，她来了 Look, here she comes.
有什么事派我去天涯海角吗？ Will your grace command me any service to the world's end?
我愿去世界尽头 I will go on the slightest errand now
完成你派给我的最琐碎任务 to the Antipodes that you can devise to send me on.
我愿去最遥远的亚洲 I will fetch you a tooth-picker
为你取回一根牙签 from the furthest inch of Asia,
带回一根蒙古可汗的胡子 bring you a hair off the great Cham's beard,
或到侏儒国办任何事 do you any embassage to the Pigmies
也不愿和这妖精说三言两语 rather than hold three words' conference with this harpy.
没有事派我做吗？ You have no employment for me?
没有，只要你陪着我 None, but to desire your good company.
哦，天啊，这真是强人所难 O God, sir, here is a dish I love not.
我无法忍受这位毒舌小姐 I cannot endure my Lady Tongue.
来，小姐，来 Come, lady, come.
你已失去班尼迪克先生的心 You have lost the heart of Signior Benedick.
是的，亲王 Indeed, my lord,
他曾借给我一段时间 我连利息以二顶一双倍还给了他 he lent it me awhile, and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one.
他曾以骰子作弊赢得过我的心 Marry, once before he won it of me with false dice,
所以你也可以说我输掉了它 therefore your grace may well say I have lost it.
可你已经压倒他了 小姐，压倒了他 But you have put him down, lady, you have put him down.
所以我不能让他压倒我，殿下 So I would not he should do me, my lord,
否则我将变成傻小子的妈 lest I should prove the mother of fools.
你让我找克罗迪奥伯爵 我把他带来了 I have brought Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek.
怎么了，克罗迪奥？为什么忧愁？ Why, how now, Claudio! Wherefore are you sad?
- 没有忧愁，殿下 - 怎么了？病了？ Not sad, my lord. How then? Sick?
也没有生病，殿下 Neither, my lord.
伯爵即不忧愁，也不高兴 即没生病，也不健康 The count is neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor well,
只是庄严的伯爵庄严得像橘子 but civil count, civil as an orange,
脸上带着一些嫉妒的橘红色 and something of that jealous complexion.
小姐，你对他的形容很对 可我发誓 I' faith, lady, I think your blazon to be true, though, I'll be sworn,
如果他那样想，就错了 if he be so, his conceit is false.
哦，克罗迪奥 Here, Claudio,
我已用你的名义求婚 赢得美丽的希罗 I have wooed in thy name. Fair Hero is won.
我向她父亲表明，他也同意 I have broke with her father, and his good will obtained.
订下结婚日期吧 愿上帝给你们快乐！ Name the day of marriage, and God give thee joy!
伯爵，带走我的女儿 我的财产也随她一起给你 Count, take of me my daughter and with her my fortune.
婚事多蒙殿下鼎力 定能得到上天嘉许 His grace hath made the match that all grace say "Amen" to it.
说话呀，伯爵，该你开口了 Speak, Count, 'tis your cue.
沉默是快乐的最好表达 Silence is the perfectest herald of joy.
如我说出有多快乐 那快乐必是有限的 I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
小姐，既然你已属于我 我也就属于你了 Lady, as you are mine, I am yours.
我把自己交给你 对此交换我极为满意 I give myself for you and dote upon the exchange.
说话呀，堂姐，说不出 就用吻封他的嘴，让他也说不出 Speak, cousin, or, if you cannot, stop his mouth with a kiss and let him not speak neither.
小姐，你真有一颗快乐的心 In faith, lady, you have a merry heart.
是的，殿下，多亏这颗心 Yea, my lord. I thank it, poor fool,
我这可怜傻瓜才从无心事 it keeps me on the windy side of care.
我堂姐在耳边告诉他 他已在她心里 My cousin tells him in his ear he is in her heart.
她正是这样说的，堂姐 And so she doth, cousin.
哦，天啊，还真亲热啊！ Oh, good Lord, for alliance!
姑娘们个个名花有主 只剩我，还把自己晒得黝黑 Thus goes every one into the world but I, and I am sunburnt.
我还是坐到角落里大哭 “给我个丈夫吧！” I will sit in a corner and cry, "Heigh-ho for a husband!"
碧翠丝小姐，我给你找一个 Lady Beatrice, I will get you one.
我倒愿意找一个你父亲的儿子 I'd rather have one of your father's getting.
你有没有像你一样的兄弟？ Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you?
只要姑娘能得到 你父亲的儿子是最好的丈夫 Your father got excellent husbands, if a maid could come by them.
你愿意要我吗，小姐？ Will you have me, lady?
不，殿下 No, my lord,
除非还有个丈夫供我日常家用 unless I might have another for working-days.
殿下你太昂贵，不能每天用 Your grace is too costly to wear every day.
但我要请求你原谅 我生来爱说笑，没有正经话 But, I beseech your grace, pardon me. I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.
你不声不响我才会生气 说说笑笑是你的本性 Your silence most offends me, to be merry best becomes you,
毫无疑问，你是在快乐时辰降生 for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour.
不，殿下，其实我母亲那时在哭 No, sure, my lord, my mother cried,
不过当时有颗星在跳舞 我就在星光下出生 but then a star danced, and under that was I born.
愿上帝给你二位快乐！ Cousins, God give you joy!
真是位活泼快乐的小姐 By my troth, a pleasant-spirited lady.
她身上找不出一丝忧愁，殿下 There's little of the melancholy element in her, my lord.
除了睡觉她从不忧愁 即使睡觉也不忧愁 She is never sad but when she sleeps, and not ever sad then,
因为我听女儿说过 for I have heard my daughter say,
她梦到不开心的事 she hath often dreamed of unhappiness
还是会把自己笑醒 and waked herself with laughing.
她不喜欢别人提丈夫的事 She cannot endure to hear tell of a husband.
决不喜欢，她冷嘲热讽 令求婚者退缩 O, by no means. She mocks all her wooers out of suit.
她和班尼迪克绝配 She were an excellent wife for Benedick.
哦，殿下，他们要是结婚 不出一星期就会吵疯 O Lord, my lord, if they were but a week married, they would talk themselves mad.
克罗迪奥伯爵 你们什么时候去教堂行礼？ County Claudiy, when mean you to go to church?
就明天吧，殿下 To-morrow, my lord.
- 未行婚礼前，时间度日如年 - 等到星期一吧，我的孩子 Time goes on crutches till love have all his rites. Not till Monday, dear son,
只不过再等七天 which is hence a just seven-night,
要办得事事尽如我意 这时间还嫌太短 and a time too brief, too, to have all things answer my mind.
我保证，克罗迪奥 这段时间不会无聊 I warrant thee, Claudio, the time shall not go dully by us.
这期间，我要完成一项艰巨任务 I will in the interim undertake one of Hercules' labors,
将班尼迪克先生和碧翠丝小姐 which is, to bring Signior Benedick and the Lady Beatrice
拉到一起，让他们彼此海誓山盟 into a mountain of affection, the one with the other.
我很愿意促成这段姻缘 I would fain have it a match, and I doubt not but to fashion it,
只要你们帮忙，我相信一定成功 if you three will minister assistance.
殿下，我听你吩咐 十夜不睡都可以 My lord, I am for you, though it cost me 10 nights' watchings.
我也是，殿下 And I, my lord.
你呢，温柔的希罗？ And you too, gentle Hero?
我愿尽绵薄之力，殿下 I will do any modest office, my lord,
帮堂妹找到好丈夫 to help my cousin to a good husband.
班尼迪克并不是个没出息的丈夫 Benedick is not the unhopefullest husband that I know.
我可以这样赞扬他 出身高贵 Thus far can I praise him, he is of a noble strain,
勇敢，正直，得到大家公认 of approved valor and confirmed honesty.
我教你如何顺着你堂妹 让她爱上班尼迪克 I will teach you how to humor your cousin, that she shall fall in love with Benedick,
而我，有你二位帮助 向班尼迪克略施小计 and I, with your two helps, will so practice on Benedick that,
纵使他刁钻古怪，百般挑剔 in despite of his quick wit and his queasy stomach,
也要让他爱上碧翠丝 he shall fall in love with Beatrice.
如果我们成功 丘比特再也不用到处射箭 If we can do this, Cupid is no longer an archer.
他的荣耀将归于我们 我们才是爱神 His glory shall be ours, for we are the only love-gods.
果然是这样 It is so.
克罗迪奥伯爵 要娶里昂纳多的女儿了 The Count Claudio shall marry the daughter of Leonato.
是的，殿下，但我能破坏他们 Yea, my lord, but I can cross it.
任何障碍、阻挠、挫折 都是我的良药 Any bar, any cross, any impediment will be medicinable to me.
我讨厌他到了生病的地步 I am sick in displeasure to him,
只要能破坏他的感情 都符合我的心意 and whatsoever comes athwart his affection ranges evenly with mine.
你要怎样破坏他的婚姻？ How canst thou thwart this marriage?
一年前我就对你提过 I think I told your lordship a year since,
希罗的侍女玛格丽特 how much I am in favor of Margaret,
有多么喜欢我 the waiting gentlewoman to Hero.
我记得这事 I remember.
我可以和她约定深更半夜 I can, at any unseasonable instant of the night,
从她小姐的闺房窗户往外看 appoint her to look out at her lady's chamber window.
这里有什么玄机能破坏他的婚姻？ What life is in that, to be the death of this marriage?
毒药要靠你调制 The poison of that lies in you to temper.
到你亲王哥哥的面前 Go you to the prince your brother,
极力抬高克罗迪奥身价 spare not to tell him that he hath wronged his honor
直言不讳告诉你哥哥 in marrying the renowned Claudio,
赫赫有名的克罗迪奥 whose estimation do you mightily hold up,
娶希罗这样的下贱女人 to a contaminated stale
有损亲王的面子 such a one as Hero.
我有什么证据证明？ What proof shall I make of that?
证据足够可以骗过亲王 Proof enough to misuse the prince,
困扰克罗迪奥，诋毁希罗 气死里昂纳多 to vex Claudio, to undo Hero and kill Leonato.
你还想要别的吗？ Look you for any other issue?
我真搞不懂，一个人 I do much wonder that one man,
明明看到别人 seeing how much another man is a fool
沉迷爱情中变得有多傻 when he dedicates his behaviors to love,
讥笑别人浅薄荒唐后 will, after he hath laughed at such shallow follies in others,
却也陷入恋爱 变成自己曾嘲笑的对象 become the argument of his own scorn by falling in love.
克罗迪奥就是这种人 And such a man is Claudio.
我认识他时 I have known when there was no music
唯一的音乐就是战鼓和军笛 with him but the drum and the fife,
现在却喜欢听小鼓和洞箫 now he had rather hear the tabor and the pipe.
以前他可以步行十英里 I have known when he would have walked
去看一幅好盔甲 10 mile a-foot to see a good armor,
现在他可以十夜不睡 and now will he lie 10 nights awake,
设计一件新式紧身衣 carving the fashion of a new doublet.
以前他说话直截了当 He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose,
像个军人，像个正直的人 like an honest man and a soldier.
现在却咬文嚼字 说的话像光怪陆离的盛宴 Now is he turned orthography, his words a very fantastical banquet,
满是稀奇古怪的菜肴 just so many strange dishes.
我会不会眼看自己变成他那样？ May I be so converted and see with these eyes?
我不敢说，我想不会的 I cannot tell, I think not.
可我不能确定 爱情可能会把我变成牡蛎 I will not be sworn, but love may transform me to an oyster.
但我发誓，只要爱情 没把我变成牡蛎 But I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster of me,
就不能把我变成那样的傻瓜 he shall never make me such a fool.
女人漂亮，我不为所动 One woman is fair, yet I am well.
女人聪明，我不为所动 Another is wise, yet I am well.
女人贤淑，我依然不为所动 Another virtuous, yet I am well.
除非全部优点集于一身 But till all graces be in one woman,
否则没有哪个女人能让我动心 one woman shall not come in my grace.
她要有钱，那是肯定的 Rich she shall be, that's certain.
要聪明，否则我不要她 Wise, or I'll none.
要贤淑，否则我不敢领教 Virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her.
要漂亮，否则我不会看她 要温柔，否则别想靠近我 Fair, or I'll never look on her. Mild, or come not near me.
要高贵，否则十块钱我都不买 Noble, or not I for an angel.
要善于言谈，精于音乐 Of good discourse, an excellent musician,
头发须是上帝给的天然颜色 and her hair shall be of what color it please God.
殿下和这位多情种子 The prince and Monsieur Love.
我要躲到花园去 I will hide me in the arbor.
来，听音乐吧？ Come, shall we hear this music?
好的，殿下 Yea, my good lord.
过来，里昂纳多 Come hither, Leonato.
你今天跟我说什么？ What was it you told me of to-day,
你侄女碧翠丝 和班尼迪克先生相爱了？ that your niece Beatrice was in love with Signior Benedick?
想不到那位小姐会爱上别人 I did never think that lady would have loved any man.
我也没想到 No, nor I neither,
尤其想不到她竟对 班尼迪克先生一往情深 but most wonderful that she should so dote on Signior Benedick,
外表看她好像一直憎恶他 whom she hath in all outward behaviors seemed ever to abhor.
这可能吗？这刮得是哪阵风？ Is't possible? Sits the wind in that corner?
真的，殿下 我不知道怎么说才好 By my troth, my lord, I cannot tell what to think of it
但她爱他爱到发狂一般 简直令人难以想象 but that she loves him with an enraged affection. It is past the infinite of thought.
你们的话让我诧异 You amaze me.
我以为按她的性格 I would have thought her spirit was
不会被任何爱情所摧毁 invincible against all assaults of affection.
我可以赌咒发誓说不会 I would have sworn it had, my lord,
尤其对班尼迪克 especially against Benedick.
她可曾向班尼迪克表白心曲？ Hath she made her affection known to Benedick?
没有，她发誓永远不说 这正是她的痛苦 No, and swears she never will, that is her torment.
确实如此，所以你女儿这样说： 'Tis true, indeed, so your daughter says, "Shall I"
"我常对他冷嘲热讽 she says, "that so oft encountered him
如今怎好写信说我爱他？" with scorn, write to him that I love him?"
她责骂自己，不该如此不知羞耻 O, she railed at herself, that she should be so immodest
明知会受嘲笑，却还给他写信 to write to one that she knew would flout her.
"以我的脾气推想他 "I measure him," says she, "by my own spirit,
"如给我写信，我定会嘲笑他 "for I should flout him, if he writ to me.
"即使爱他，还是会嘲笑" "Yea, though I love him, I should."
她随后跪在地上 Then down upon her knees she falls,
哭泣、哽咽，捶打胸膛 weeps, sobs, beats her heart,
揪头发、祈祷、诅咒 tears her hair, prays, curses,
"哦，亲爱的班尼迪克！ 上帝给我忍耐吧！" "O, sweet, Benedick! God give me patience!"
但愿她将这番痴情寄托于我 I would she had bestowed this dotage on me.
我会抛弃一切顾虑 让她成为我的一半 I would have daffed all other respects and made her half myself.
请将这话告诉班尼迪克 听他怎么说 I pray you, tell Benedick of it, and hear what he will say.
这样好吗？ Were it good, think you?
希罗认为自己早晚会死，她说 Hero thinks surely she will die,
如果他不爱她，她会死 for she says she will die if he love her not,
可她宁死也不愿让他知道自己的爱 and she will die, ere she make her love known,
如果向她求婚，她宁死也不愿 将平日的倔强改变一分 and she will die if he woo her, rather than she will bate one breath of her accustomed crossness.
她做得对 She doth well.
如果她奉上一片柔情 If she should make tender of her love
多半会遭他鄙夷 'tis very possible he'll scorn it,
因为你们都知道，这个人脾气傲慢 for the man, as you know all, hath a contemptible spirit.
他是个很英俊的人 He is a very proper man.
他确实有着很好的仪表 He hath indeed a good outward happiness.
当上帝的面，我认为他很聪明 Before God! And, in my mind, very wise.
他确有几分机智风趣 He doth indeed show some sparks that are like wit.
我很同情你的侄女 Well, I'm sorry for your niece.
我很喜欢班尼迪克 I love Benedick well, and I could wish
希望他能谦虚地反省自己 he would modestly examine himself,
看自己有多配不上 这样一位好姑娘 to see how much he is unworthy so good a lady.
殿下，咱们走吧，晚餐已备好 My lord, will you walk? Dinner is ready.
这不会是诡计 他们的谈话严肃认真 This can be no trick. The conference was sadly borne.
那些话是从希罗那儿听来的 They have the truth of this from Hero.
她爱我？ Love me?
我一定要报答她才是 Why, it must be requited.
听到他们如何批评我 I hear how I am censured.
他们说，如果得知她爱我 They say I will bear myself proudly,
我一定会摆架子 if I perceive the love come from her.
还说，她宁愿死 They say too that she will rather die
也不愿表白她的爱 than give any sign of affection.
我从没想过要结婚 I did never think to marry.
我一定不能摆架子 I must not seem proud.
听别人揭自己的短 能改过自新，才是幸福的 Happy are they that hear their detractions and can put them to mending.
他们说那姑娘很漂亮 They say the lady is fair,
确实这样，我可以证明 'tis a truth, I can bear them witness.
说她品行端正 也是事实，我不能否认 And virtuous, 'tis so, I cannot reprove it.
说她除了爱上我 别的方面都很聪明 And wise, but for loving me.
其实，虽不能因这件事 证明她聪明 By my troth, it is no addition to her wit,
但也不能反证她愚蠢 nor no great argument of her folly,
因为我将会为她神魂颠倒！ for I will be horribly in love with her!
可能我会因为这样 I may chance have some odd quirks
受到人们的冷嘲热讽 and remnants of wit broken on me,
因为我一向讥笑结婚无聊 because I have railed so long against marriage.
但人们的口味不会改变吗？ But doth not the appetite alter?
人们年轻时爱吃肉 A man loves the meat in his youth
年老时却会无法消受 that he cannot endure in his age.
俏皮话，讥讽语 无关痛痒的唇枪舌剑 Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain
能阻止人追求兴之所至吗？ awe a man from the career of his humor?
不，这世界必须生生相惜 No, the world must be peopled.
我说我会终生单身 When I said I would die a bachelor,
没想到会活到结婚这天 I did not think I should live till I were married.
那是碧翠丝 Here comes Beatrice.
老天在上，她是位漂亮姑娘 By this day. She's a fair lady.
我确实看出她有爱我的迹象 I do spy some marks of love in her.
这不是我的本意 我奉命来请你用餐 Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner.
美丽的碧翠丝，辛苦了，谢谢你 Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains.
我没什么辛苦领受你的谢意 I took no more pains for those thanks
就像你的谢意并没有辛苦你 than you take pains to thank me.
如果辛苦，我也不会来 If it had been painful, I would not have come.
那你很高兴来叫我吗？ You take pleasure then in the message?
是的，先生 Yea, signior,
那高兴只有你用刀尖挑起的那么多 just so much as you may take upon a knife's point.
你还不饿吧，先生？ 那就再见了 You have no stomach, signior. Fare you well.
"这不是我的本意 我奉命来请你用餐" "Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner."
这句话中有双关的含义 There's a double meaning in that.
"我没什么辛苦领受你的谢意 "I took no more pains for those thanks
"就像你的谢意并没有辛苦你" "than you took pains to thank me."
这句话等于说 That's as much as to say, any pains
为你付出任何辛苦 都像说声谢谢一样轻松 that I take for you is as good as thanks.
如果不怜惜她，我就是个混蛋 If I do not take pity of her, I am a villain.
如果不爱她，我就是个傻瓜 If I do not love her, I am a fool.
我要讨一张她的小像 I will go get her picture.
不，说真的，欧苏拉 她太高傲啦 No, truly, Ursula, she is too disdainful.
我知道她的脾气 像山岩上的悍鹰腼腆而豪放 I know her spirits are as coy and wild as haggerds of the rock.
但你肯定班尼迪克 全心全意爱碧翠丝吗？ But are you sure Benedick loves Beatrice so entirely?
亲王和我未婚夫都这样说 So says the prince and my new-trothed lord.
他们让你把这事告诉她？ And did they bid you tell her of it, madam?
他们确实请求我告诉她 但我劝他们 They did entreat me to acquaint her of it, but I persuaded them,
如果他们爱护班尼迪克 if they loved Benedick,
最好让他自己斩断这段感情 决不让碧翠丝知道 to wish him restle with affection, and never to let Beatrice know of it.
你为什么要这样？ Why did you so?
难道这位先生配不上 Doth not the gentleman deserve as full a fortunate a bed
碧翠丝那样的新娘？ as ever Beatrice shall couch upon?
爱神在上！我知道他配得上 男人所应享有的一切 O, god of love! I know he doth deserve as much as may be yielded to a man.
但造物做出碧翠丝的心 But nature never framed a woman's heart
比任何女人都高傲 of prouder stuff than that of Beatrice.
她眼中闪耀着傲慢和轻蔑 Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes,
蔑视看到的一切 misprising what they look on,
她把自己的才智估计过高 and her wit values itself so highly
一切在她眼里都微不足道 that to her all matter else seems weak.
她不会恋爱 也想不到有恋爱这回事 She cannot love, nor take no shape nor project of affection,
她太自恋 she is so self-endeared.
对，我也这样想 Sure, I think so.
所以他的爱 还是不让她知道的好 And therefore certainly it were not good she knew his love,
免得遭她嘲讽讥笑 lest she make sport at it.
不，我还是去找班尼迪克 No, rather I will go to Benedick
劝他斩断这段痴情 and counsel him to fight against his passion.
我要捏造善意的流言 诋毁我的堂妹 Truly, I'll devise some honest slanders to stain my cousin with.
谁都不知道一句坏话 能如何打消人们的好感 One doth not know how much an ill word may empoison liking.
哦，不要做对不起你堂妹的事 O, do not do your cousin such a wrong.
她不会糊涂到那个地步 She cannot be so much without true judgment.
人们都说她才智敏捷 Having so swift and excellent a wit,
心灵口快 as she is prized to have,
怎会拒绝班尼迪克先生 那样难得的绅士 as to refuse so rare a gentleman as Signior Benedick.
除了我亲爱的克罗迪奥 他是意大利绝无仅有的好男人 He is the only man of Italy. Mmm. Always excepted my dear Claudio.
走，进屋吧，看看我的衣服 帮我挑选明天穿哪件最好 Come, go in. I'll show thee some attires, and have thy counsel which is the best to furnish me to-morrow.
我的耳朵为何发烧？ What fire is in my ears?
这是真的吗？ Can this be true?
就让他们这样批评 我的轻蔑和骄傲？ Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorn so much?
再见吧，轻蔑 Contempt, farowell.
再见吧，少女的骄傲 And maiden pride, adieu.
这些背后不会有荣耀 No glory lives behind the back of such.
班尼迪克 And, Benedick,
继续爱吧 love on.
我会给你回报 I will requite thee,
驯服我狂野的心 交到你充满爱意的手中 taming my wild heart to thy loving hand.
如果你真爱我 If thou dost love,
我的柔情会鼓励你 my kindness shall incite thee
用神圣的约束绑定我们的爱情 to bind our loves up in a holy band.
人们都说你好 For others say thou dost deserve,
我相信你比他们说的还要好 and I believe it better than reportingly.
我只等你们婚礼完成 I do but stay till your marriage be consummate,
就去阿拉贡 and then go I toward Arragon.
如果你恩准，殿下，我愿陪你去 I'll bring you thither, my lord, if you'll vouchsafe me.
不，你们新婚燕尔 那样太煞风景 Nay, that would be as great a soil in the new gloss of your marriage
就像给小孩看衣服却不让他穿 as to show a child his new coat and forbid him to wear it.
只要有班尼迪克陪我就行 I will only be bold with Benedick for his company,
这人从头到脚全是嬉笑欢乐 for, from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth.
他有几次割断了丘比特的弓弦 He hath twice or thrice cut Cupid's bow-string
让那小射手不敢再射他 and the little hangman dare not shoot at him.
诸位 Gallants,
我已不再是从前的我 I am not as I have been.
我也这么看，我看你好像有心事 So say I, methinks you are sadder.
希望他在恋爱 I hope he be in love.
这个游手好闲的家伙 没有一滴真诚的血 Hang him truant! There's no true drop of blood in him,
怎么会认真恋爱 to be truly touched with love.
他有心事，肯定是缺钱 If he be sad, he wants money.
我的牙疼 I have the toothache.
什么？因为牙疼叹气？ What? Sigh for the toothache?
自己不疼，谁都会说风凉话 Well, every one can master a grief but he that has it.
他要是没爱上什么女人 If he be not in love with some woman,
古老的征兆就都不可信了 there is no believing old signs.
有人看见他去理发店吗？ Hath any man seen him at the barber's?
没有，可是看见 理发师和他在一起 No, but the barber's man hath been seen with him,
他脸上的老装饰胡须 都拿去填网球了 and the old ornament of his cheek hath already stuffed tennis-balls.
他身上还涂了麝香香水 没闻见吗？ Nay, a'rubs himself with civet. Can you not smell him out by that?
他何时脸洗得这么勤？ And when was he wont to wash his face?
不错，这充分揭示了他的秘密 结论就是… 就是他恋爱了 Indeed, that tells a heavy tale for him. Conclude, conclude he is in love.
老先生，陪我走走吧 Old signior, walk aside with me.
我学会了八九句咒语 我要告诉你 I have studied eight or nine wise words that I would speak to you,
不让那些捣蛋鬼听见 which these hobby-horses must not hear.
他肯定跟他说碧翠丝的事 For my life, to break with him about Beatrice.
肯定，希罗和玛格丽特 也按计划搞定了碧翠丝 'Tis even so. Hero and Margaret have by this played their parts with Beatrice,
这两只熊碰面就不会互咬了 and then the two bears will not bite one another when they meet.
上帝保佑你，王兄 My lord and brother, God save you.
你好，贤弟 Good den, brother.
如果有空，我想和你谈谈 If your leisure served, I would speak with you.
私下谈？ In private?
如果你愿意的话 If it please you.
对，克罗迪奥伯爵也可以听 我说的和他有关 Yet Count Claudio may hear, for what I would speak of concerns him.
什么事？ What's the matter?
阁下打算明天结婚吗？ Means your lordship to be married to-morrow?
你知道他是那样想的 You know he does.
知道了我所知道的 不知他还会不会 I know not that when he knows what I know.
如果有什么障碍，请你说出来 If there be any impediment, I pray you, discover it.
你也许以为我不爱你 You may think I love you not.
这话留待以后再说 Let that appear hereafter,
希望听了我的话后 能改变对我的看法 and aim better at me by that I now will manifest.
怎么？出什么事了？ Why, what's the matter?
那位小姐不忠 The lady is disloyal.
谁？希罗吗？ Who, Hero?
正是她 Even she,
里昂纳多的希罗，你的希罗 大家的希罗… Leonato's Hero, your Hero, every man's Hero...
不忠？ Disloyal?
这个词太好了 不足以形容她的邪恶 The word is too good to paint out her wickedness.
想出更坏的词，她都受之无愧 Think you of a worse title, and I will fit her to it.
未得到进一步证据前不要乱猜 Wonder not till further warrant.
只要今晚跟我去 就会看到她房间的窗户有人进 Go but with me to-night, you shall see her chamber-window entered,
就在婚礼的前一晚 even the night before her wedding-day.
如果依然爱他 你就明天和她结婚 If you love her then to-morrow wed her.
如果改变主意，对你的名声更好 But it would better fit your honor to change your mind.
有这等事？ May this be so?
我想不会的 I will not think it.
只要今晚跟我去 一定让你们看个够 If you will follow me, I will show you enough,
等你们看够了，听够了 and when you have seen more and heard more,
再决定怎么办 proceed accordingly.
你们都忠实可靠的人吗？ Are you good men and true?
是的，否则灵魂和肉体 都不能获救，那才惨呢 Yea, or else it were pity but they should suffer salvation, body and soul.
给他们分配任务吧，道伯瑞 Give them their charge, neighbor Dogberry.
首先，你们认为 谁最不适合当巡警？ First, who think you the most desertless man to be constable?
休·奥特克，乔治·西科尔 Hugh Otecake, sir, or George Seacole,
他们俩能读会写 for they can write and read.
过来，西科尔朋友 Come hither, neighbor Seacole.
大家认为你是最没头脑 You are thought here to be the most
最适合当巡警的人 senseless and fit man for the constable of the watch,
所以你就拿手电吧 therefore bear you the lantern.
你的任务是 看见流浪无赖，就抓起来 This is your charge. You shall comprehend all vagrom men.
你可以用亲王的名义 喝令任何人站住 You are to bid any man stand, in the prince's name.
要是他不站住呢？ How if he will not stand?
那就不理他，让他走 Why, then, take no note of him, but let him go,
再召集其余巡警 感谢上帝，你们除掉一个无赖 and presently call the rest of the watch together and thank God you are rid of a knave.
如果喊他，他不站住 他就不是亲王的子民 If he will not stand when he is bidden, he is none of the prince's subjects.
不是亲王的子民，就可以不理 True, and they are to meddle with none but the prince's subjects.
你们要去每家酒馆查看 Well, you are to call at all the ale-houses,
喝醉的，让他回去睡觉 and bid those that are drunk get them to bed.
如果不去睡觉呢？ How if they will not?
不理他，等他自己酒醒 Why, then, let them alone till they are sober.
如果问话不好好回答 If they make you not then the better answer,
你们就说找错了人 you may say they are not the men you took them for.
如果遇到小偷 Well, sir... If you meet a thief,
根据你们的职责 可以怀疑他不是好人 you may suspect him, by virtue of your office, to be no true man,
对于这种人 and, for such kind of men,
越少跟他纠缠 越能体现你们是规矩人 the less you meddle or make with them, why the more is for your honesty.
如果知道他是小偷，要不要抓他？ If we know him to be a thief, shall we not lay hands on him?
可以抓 You may,
但我想，摸沥青会脏手 but I think they that touch pitch
最和平的办法 will be defiled. The most peaceable way
就是抓到小偷，就让他表演 for you, if you do take a thief,
自己的拿手好戏 is to let him show himself
如何在你面前溜走 what he is and steal out of your company.
哥们，你是公认的好心人 You have been always called a merciful man, partner.
是啊，我连狗都不忍吊死 何况有几分天良的人 Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
如果听见夜里孩子哭 一定叫醒保姆，让她止住啼哭 If you hear a child cry in the night, you must call to the nurse and bid her to still it.
如果保姆熟睡，听不见我们喊呢？ How if the nurse be asleep and will not hear us?
那就悄悄离开，让孩子把她哭醒 Why, then, depart in peace, and let the child wake her with crying.
布置任务到此为止 This is the end of the charge.
夜里遇到亲王，也可以让他站住 If you meet the prince in the night, you may stay him.
不，圣母娘娘，那可不行 Nay, by'r our lady, that I think he cannot.
当然行，要看亲王自己愿不愿意 Marry, not without the prince be willing.
因为巡警不能得罪人 For, indeed, the watch ought to offend no man,
让不愿意站住的人站住 就是得罪人 and it is an offense to stay a man against his will.
这样说很有道理 By'r lady, I think it be so.
好啦，诸位，晚安 Well, masters, good night.
有什么要紧事 可以叫醒我，再见啦 An there be any matter of weight chances, call up me. Adieu.
请大家都留点儿心 Be vigitant, I beseech you.
好，弟兄们，任务都听到了 Well, masters, we hear our charge.
我们去坐到教堂的凳子上 Let us go sit upon the church-bench
等到两点钟，然后睡大觉 till 2:00, and then all to bed.
喂，康拉德！ What Conrade!
别出声！ Peace!
别动 Stir not.
我说，康拉德！ Conrade, I say!
这儿呢，就在你身旁 Here, man, I am at thy elbow.
难怪我身上痒 Mass, and my elbow itched,
原来身边有个癞疥疮 I thought there would a scab follow.
我早晚会找你算账 现在快讲你的故事 I will owe thee an answer for that. Now forward with thy tale.
那你站近一点 Stand thee close, then,
我要像醉鬼一样 什么话都对你讲 and I will, like a true drunkard, utter all to thee.
弟兄们，一定有什么阴谋 Some treason, masters.
都躲着别动 Yet stand close.
告诉你，我从唐·约翰那 赚到一千金币 Therefore know I have earned of Don John a thousand ducats.
干一件坏事能赚这么多钱？ Is it possible that any villainy should be so dear?
我今夜向希罗小姐的女仆 玛格丽特求了婚 I have to-night wooed Margaret, the Lady Hero's gentlewoman,
我叫她希罗 by the name of Hero.
她从小姐房间的窗户探出身 She leans me out at her mistress' chamber-window,
向我说了一千遍再见 bids me a thousand times good night.
我这故事没讲好 I tell this tale vilely.
应该先告诉你，亲王和克罗迪奥 I should first tell thee how the prince and Claudio,
由我主人唐·约翰安排 planted and placed by my master Don John,
在花园里远远观看 saw afar off in the orchard
这场亲密幽会 this amiable encounter.
他们以为玛格丽特是希罗？ And thought they Margaret was Hero?
亲王和克罗迪奥这样以为 Two of them did, the prince and Claudio,
可我那恶魔主人知道是女仆 but the devil my master knew she was Margaret,
一来我主人赌咒发誓 二来夜色昏暗 and partly by his oaths and partly by the dark night,
但主要还是我的恶行 but chiefly by my villainy,
使克罗迪奥盛怒而去 away went Claudio enraged,
发誓明早如约见她 说出他夜里看到的事 swore he would meet her next morning and there, before the whole congregation,
让她在教堂的大众面前出丑 shame her with what he saw o'er night,
回家去仍旧做一个 没有丈夫的女人 send her home again without a husband.
我们以亲王的名义命令你站住！ We charge you, in the prince's name, stand!
叫醒警官老爷 Call up the right master constable.
我们破获一起全国有史以来 最危险的奸淫案 We have here recovered the most dangerous piece of lechery that ever was known in the commonwealth.
弟兄们，弟兄们… Masters. Masters...
别说话 Never speak.
我们命令你们，跟我们一起走 We charge you let us obey you to go with us.
我觉得你穿那件更好看 Troth, I think your other gown were better.
求你了，好玛格，我要穿这件 No, pray thee, good Meg, I'll wear this.
这件真没有那件好 你堂妹保证也会这么说 By my troth, 's not so good, and I warrant your cousin will say so.
我堂妹是傻瓜，你也是 My cousin's a fool. Thou art another.
我要穿这件 I'll wear none but this.
早上好，堂妹 Good morrow, coz.
早上好，亲爱的希罗 Good morrow, sweet Hero.
怎么了？你怎么说话声音不对？ Why how now? Do you speak in the sick tune?
嗯，我无法用别的声音说话 Mmm. I am all out of other tune, methinks.
快五点了，你该装扮起来 It is almost 5:00, 'tis time you were ready.
我真的感觉好难受 By my troth, I am exceedingly ill.
因为鹰？因为马？ 还是因为丈夫？ Heigh-ho. For a hawk, a horse, or a husband?
这手套是伯爵送我的 熏了上好的香味 These gloves the count sent me, they're an excellent perfume.
我的鼻子塞住了，堂姐，闻不见 I am stuffed, cousin, I cannot smell.
好一位鼻子塞住的小姐！ 今年的伤风真厉害 A maid, and stuffed! There's goodly catching of cold.
我真的病了 By my troth, I am sick.
你的病得用班尼迪药水医 Get you some of this Carduus Benedictus, and lay it to your heart.
那是治你病的唯一良药 It's the only thing for a qualm.
班尼迪药水？什么… 班尼迪药水？ Benedictus! Why... Why Benedictus?
这个药名有含义 You have some moral in this Benedictus.
含义？我可没什么含义 Moral? No, by my troth, I have no moral meaning.
我说的是圣蓟 I meant, plain holy-thistle.
这棵蓟可刺疼她了 There thou prickest her with a thistle.
小姐，快去吧 Madam, withdraw.
亲王，伯爵 The prince, the count.
班尼迪克先生，唐·约翰 Signior Benedick, Don John,
还有全城的公子哥 and all the gallants of the town
都来接你去教堂 have come to fetch you to church.
有何见教，我的好老乡？ What would you with me, honest neighbor?
大人，我有话跟你私下说 和你关系很大 Marry, sir, I would have some confidence with you that decerns you nearly.
请简短点，你瞧，我现在很忙 Brief, I pray you, for you see, it is a busy time with me.
是这么回事，大人 Marry, this it is, sir.
对，是这么回事 Yes, in truth it is, sir.
怎么回事，我的好朋友？ What is it, my good friends?
弗吉斯说话不太清楚 Verges, sir, speaks a little off the matter.
他头脑不如我想象的糊涂 His wits are not so blunt as, God help, I would desire they were,
但看两眉之间 就知道他确实很诚实 but, in faith, honest as the skin between his brows.
是的，感谢上帝 我很诚实，就像… Yes, I thank God I am as honest as any man living...
别打比方啦 Comparisons are odorous.
老乡，你们太啰嗦 Neighbors, you are tedious.
承蒙您夸奖真高兴 It pleases your worship to say so, sir,
可我们只是小当差的 but we are the poor duke's officers.
我想知道你们要说什么 I would fain know what you have to say.
大人，我们巡警今夜 Marry, sir, our watch to-night,
抓到两个麦西纳最坏的流氓 当然遇到您不算 excepting your worship's presence, ha' ta'en a couple of as arrant knaves as any in Messina.
是个好老头 就是爱唠叨，上帝保佑 A good old man, sir, he will be talking. God help us.
说得好，两人骑一匹马 总有一人在后面 Well said, neighbor Verges. An two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind.
我得走了 I must leave you.
还有一句话，大人 A word, sir.
我们巡警抓到两个形迹可疑的人 Our watch, sir, have indeed comprehended two auspicious persons,
我们想今天上午当您的面审问 and we would have them this morning examined before your worship.
你们自己审吧，审完告诉我 我现在很忙，你们看得出 Take their examination yourself and bring it me. I am now in great haste, as it may appear unto you.
就这么办吧 It shall be suffigance.
喝杯酒再走 Drink some wine ere you go.
走吧，好搭档 Go, good partner, go.
我们去审那两个人 We are now to examination these men.
大人，你是来娶这位小姐的吗？ You come hither, my lord, to marry this lady.
不是 No.
来和她结婚的，神父 你为他们举行婚礼吧 To be married to her, Friar. You come to marry her.
小姐，你是来嫁给这位伯爵的吗？ Lady, you come hither to be married to this count.
是的 I do.
如你二人谁心中知道有障碍 使你们不能结合 If either of you know any inward impediment why you should not be conjoined,
我命令你们凭良心说出来 I urge you to utter it upon your souls.
你有吗，希罗？ Know you any, Hero?
没有，大人 None, my lord.
你有吗，伯爵？ Know you any, Count?
我敢代他作答，没有 I dare make his answer, none.
哦，人们敢做的事 O, what men dare do!
可以做的事 What men may do.
每天做出的事 却不知道究竟做了什么 What men daily do, not knowing what they do.
怎么？发起感慨了？ How now! Interjections?
那就让我们大笑吧 Why, some may be of laughing, as...
神父，请站到一边 Stand thee by, Friar.
岳父，我请问 Father, by your leave,
你是不是心甘情愿毫无勉强 will you with free and unconstrained soul
把这位姑娘，你的女儿，给我？ give me this maid, your daughter?
像上帝把她给我一样心甘情愿 As freely, son, as God did give her me.
我将如何报答 And what have I to give you back,
如此丰厚… 而宝贵的礼物？ whose worth may counterpoise this rich and precious gift?
无法报答，除非把她还回去 Nothing, unless you render her again.
好殿下，你教会了我 最好的感恩方法 Sweet prince, you learn me noble thankfulness.
里昂纳多，把她拿回去吧 There, Leonato, take her back again.
不要把这烂橘子送给你朋友 Give not this rotten orange to your friend,
她的尊贵体面只是徒有其表 she is but the sign and semblance of her honor.
瞧，她一脸娇羞好似无邪少女！ Behold how like a maid she blushes here!
看见她表面的做作 谁不会发誓说她是处女？ Would you not swear, all you that see her, that she were a maid by these exterior shows?
可她不是 她已领略过床第风情 But she is none. She knows the heat of a luxurious bed.
她脸红是自知有愧，而不是娇羞 Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty.
你这话什么意思，伯爵？ What do you mean, my lord?
我不要结婚，不能把我的灵魂 和声名狼藉的淫妇结合 Not to be married, not to knit my soul to an approved wanton.
我的爵爷，如果按你所说 Dear my lord, if you, in your own proof,
你利用她年幼无知 have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth,
夺去了她的贞操… and made defeat of her virginity...
我知道你想说什么 I know what you would say.
如果是我玷污她 你可以说她已把我当作丈夫 If I have known her, you will say she did embrace me as a husband,
减轻她提前失身的罪过 and so extenuate the 'forehand sin.
不，里昂纳多 No, Leonato,
我从未用放肆语言诱惑过她 I never tempted her with word too large,
只是像哥哥对妹妹，表达过 but, as a brother to his sister,
羞涩的真诚与合乎礼仪的爱 show'd her bashful sincerity and comely love.
我对你不也是这样吗？ And seem'd I ever otherwise to you?
不要脸！装模作样！ Out on thee! Seeming!
我要把这些写下来 I will write against it.
我把你看作月中女神狄安娜 未绽放的花蕾般纯洁无瑕 You seem to me as Dian in her orb, as chaste as is the bud ere it be blown.
可你天生比维纳斯还放浪 But you are more intemperate in your blood than Venus,
比纵欲淫荡的野兽更恣狂 or those pamper'd animals that rage in savage sensuality.
他病了吗？怎么说出 这么荒唐的话？ Is my lord well, that he doth speak so wide?
殿下，你为什么不说句话？ Sweet prince, why speak not you?
我能说什么？ What should I speak?
我已颜面尽失 撮合我的好朋友和荡妇一起 I stand dishonor'd, that have gone about to link my dear friend to a common stale.
昨夜12:00到1:00 在窗外和你说话的是谁？ What man was he talk'd with you yesternight out at your window betwixt 12:00 and 1:00?
如果是处女，就回答这问题 Now, if you are a maid, answer to this.
我那时没和别人说话 I talk'd with no man at that hour, my lord.
那你不是处女？ Why, then are you no maiden?
里昂纳多，很抱歉让你知道 Leonato, I'm sorry you must hear.
以我的名誉发誓 我，我弟弟和这位伤心的伯爵 Upon mine honor, myself, my brother and this grieved count
亲眼看见，亲耳听见 昨夜那个时候 did see her, hear her, at that hour last night
她和一个流氓在窗前说话 talk with a ruffian at her chamber-window
那流氓真是色胆包天 承认私通款曲已有一千次 who hath indeed, most like a liberal villain, confess'd the vile encounters they have had a thousand times in secret.
呸！不要再提他们了，殿下 Fie. Fie! They are not to be named, my lord,
不要再说了 not to be spoke of.
无论多文雅的语言 说起来也不能不带攻击 There is not enough chastity in language but offense to utter them.
美貌的姑娘，你这样不自重 我真替你惋惜 Thus, pretty lady, I am sorry for thy much misgovernment.
哦，希罗 O Hero.
如果把你外表的优美 What a Hero hadst thou been,
分一半给你内心的思想 if half thy outward graces
你将是一个多么好的希罗！ had been placed about thy thoughts and counsels of thy heart!
但是再见吧 你这最淫邪最美丽之人 But fare thee well, most foul, most fair.
没人给我刀刺死我自己吗？ Hath no man's dagger here a point for me?
怎么了，堂姐，你怎么倒下了？ Why, how now, cousin? Wherefore sink you down?
走，我们走吧 Come, let us go.
她的丑事被揭穿，羞愧难当 These things, come thus to light, smother her spirits up.
这姑娘怎么了？ How doth the lady?
她可能死了，救命啊，叔叔！ Dead, I think. Help, uncle!
哦，希罗，怎么了，希罗？ O Hero! Why, Hero?
班尼迪克先生 Signior Benedick.
命运啊，不要抽回你沉重的手 O Fate! Take not away thy heavy hand.
对于羞耻 死是她能希求的最好掩饰 Death were the fairest cover for her shame that may be wish'd for.
怎么样了，希罗堂姐？ How now, cousin Hero?
小姐，你宽心吧 Have comfort, lady.
你的眼睛又睁开了？ Dost thou look up?
是啊，她为什么不能睁开？ Yea, wherefore should she not?
为什么！ Wherefore!
不是全世界 都在斥责她的无耻吗？ Why, doth not every earthly thing cry shame upon her?
她能否认已刻在血液中的丑事吗？ Could she here deny the story that is printed in her blood?
不要活过来，希罗，不要再睁开眼 Do not live, Hero. Do not ope thine eyes.
我只有你一个孩子，我会伤心吗？ Grieved I, I had but one?
我会抱怨造化的吝啬吗？ Chid I for that at frugal nature's frame?
像你这样，一个已经太多！ O, one too much by thee!
为什么我要有这孩子？ 为什么你在我眼里那么可爱？ Why ever wast thou one? Why ever wast thou lovely in my eyes?
大人 Sir.
大人，耐心点 我深为震惊，不知说什么好 Sir, be patient. For my own part, I am attired in wonder and know not what to say.
我发誓，我堂姐是被冤枉的！ O, on my soul, my cousin is belied!
小姐，你昨晚和她睡一起吗？ Lady, were you her bedfellow last night?
就昨晚没有 No, truly not,
可这之前，我和她睡一起整整一年 although, until last night I have this twelvemonth been her bedfellow.
已经证实了，证实了！ Confirm'd. Confirm'd.
两位亲王会说谎吗？ 克罗迪奥会吗？ Would the two princes lie, and Claudio lie,
他那么爱她 提到她的丑行就泪流满面 who loved her so, that, speaking of her foulness, wash'd it with tears?
别理她！让她死吧！ Hence from her! Let her die!
小姐，他们说你跟谁私通？ Lady. What man is he you are accused of?
他们说的，他们清楚，我不知道 They know that do accuse me, I know none.
如我超越礼数，和别的男人来往 If I know more of any man alive than that which maiden modesty doth warrant,
让我永世不得翻身 then let all my sins lack mercy.
父亲，如你能证明 我在不恰当的时间 My father, prove you that any man with me conversed
和男人说过话，如我昨夜和任何人 at hours unmeet or if I yesternight maintain'd
交换过只言片语 the change of words with any creature,
你可以不理我 厌恶我，折磨死我！爸！ refuse me, hate me, torture me to death!
几位王爷间有些奇怪的误会 There is some strange misprision in the princes.
其中两位都是非常正直的人 Two of them have the very bent of honor.
如果这次受人欺骗 一定是私生子约翰搞鬼 If their wisdoms be misled in this, the practice of it lives in John the bastard,
他最喜欢设陷阱害人 whose spirits toil in frame of villainies.
我不知道 I know not.
如果他们说的是事实 我要亲手杀了她 But if they speak but truth, these hands shall tear thee.
如果他们陷害她 If they wrong her honor,
我要和他们中最尊贵的那个拼命 the proudest of them shall well hear of it.
且慢，这件事请听我劝告 Pause awhile, and let my counsel sway you in this case.
亲王们离开时，以为你女儿已死 Your daughter here the princes left for dead.
不妨暂时让她深居简出 Let her be kept awhile secretly inside,
对外宣布她确已死亡 and publish it that she is dead indeed.
这样会有什么结果？ What shall become of this?
克罗迪奥听说小姐因他的话而死 When Claudio shall hear that she has died upon his words,
希罗生前的种种可爱 必定会浮现在他的想象中 the idea of her life shall sweetly creep into the study of his imagination.
她生前的一颦一笑 And every organ of her lovely life
都变得比在世时更珍贵 shall come apparell'd in more precious habit,
那份楚楚动人，那份活力充沛 more moving-gentle and full of life,
在他眼中和心灵深处 都胜过她在世时 into the eye and prospect of his soul, than when she lived indeed.
如果爱情真打动过他的心 他会悲伤，会后悔 Then shall he mourn. If ever love had interest in his liver,
即使指责她的都是事实 也不该让她如此难堪 and wish he had not so accused her, no, though he thought his accusation to be true.
里昂纳多大人，听从神父的劝告吧 Sir, Signior Leonato, let the friar advise you.
我现在如此悲伤 一根细线都能牵着我走 Being that I flow in grief the smallest twine may lead me.
来吧，小姐，你必须死里求生 Come, lady. Die to live.
今天的婚礼也许只是延期 This wedding-day is but perhaps prolong'd.
碧翠丝小姐，你一直在哭吗？ Lady Beatrice, have you wept all this while?
是的，我还要哭下去 and I will weep a while longer.
希望你别哭了 I will not desire that.
你有什么理由？我自己愿意哭 You have no reason, I do it freely.
我相信令姐一定受了冤枉 Surely I do believe your fair cousin is wronged.
能为她洗冤的人 将得到我多大的尊敬 The man might deserve of me who would right her.
有什么方法能表示这份友谊？ Is there any way to show such friendship?
方法很简单 A very even way,
可惜没这样的朋友 but no such friend.
可以让人试试吗？ May a man do it?
那是男子汉的事，不是你 It is a man's office, but not yours.
全世界我最爱的人莫过于你 I do love nothing in the world so well as you.
这不是很奇怪吗？ Is not that strange?
和我不知道的事一样奇怪 As strange as the thing I know not.
就像我也可以说 我最爱的莫过于你 It were as possible for me to say I loved nothing so much as you.
但别相信我，我没说假话 But believe me not, and yet I lie not.
我什么都没承认，也什么都没否认 I confess nothing, nor I deny nothing.
我只是为堂姐难过 I am sorry for my cousin.
我凭剑发誓 碧翠丝，你是爱我的 By my sword, Beatrice, thou lovest me.
别对剑发完誓，又吃掉它 Do not swear, and eat it.
我凭剑发誓，你爱我 I will swear by it that you love me
谁说我不爱你 我就让他吃我一剑 and I will make him eat it that says I love not you.
你不会食言吗？ Will you not eat your word?
没有任何调料能让我 把说出的话吃回去 With no sauce that can be devised to it.
我发誓我爱你 I protest I love thee.
上帝饶恕我 Why, then, God forgive me.
你犯了什么罪过，碧翠丝？ What offense, sweet Beatrice?
你打断的正是时候 You have stayed me in a happy hour.
我刚要发誓说爱你 I was about to protest that I love you.
那就用全部心情说出来吧 And do it with all thy heart.
我用全部心情爱你，没心情说话了 I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.
来吧，命令我为你做任何事 Come, bid me do any thing for thee.
杀死克罗迪奥 Kill Claudio.
给我全世界也办不到 Not for the wide world.
拒绝就等于杀了我 You kill me to deny it.
- 再见 - 等一下 Farewell. Tarry.
亲爱的碧翠丝 Sweet Beatrice.
我人在心也不在，你并无爱情 I am gone, though I am here. There is no love in you.
- 请放我走吧 - 碧翠丝 Nay, I pray you, let me go. Beatrice...
真的，我要走了 In faith, I will go.
让我们先言归于好 We'll be friends first.
你敢和我做朋友 却不敢与我的敌人决斗 You dare easier be friends with me than fight with my enemy.
克罗迪奥是你的敌人吗？ Is Claudio thine enemy?
他不是已经证明自己是 穷凶极恶的坏人吗？ Is he not approved in the height a villain,
污蔑、诽谤，破坏我家人的名誉 that hath slandered, scorned, dishonored my kinswoman?
真希望我是个男人！ O that I were a man!
不动声色挽着她的手 等到将要成礼时 What, bear her in hand until they come to take hands,
当众翻脸，公开指责 and then with public accusation,
公然诽谤，无比刻毒… uncovered slander, unmitigated rancor...
哦，上帝，但愿我是个男人！ O God, that I were a man!
我要在市场上吃掉他的心 I would eat his heart in the market-place.
听我说，碧翠丝… Hear me, Beatrice...
在窗边和男人说话 Talk with a man at a window.
- 他们可真能编 - 不，碧翠丝… O a proper saying. Nay, but, Beatrice...
亲爱的希罗 Sweet Hero.
她被人冤枉，遭人诽谤 这辈子完了 She is wronged, she is slandered, she is undone.
碧翠丝 Beatrice.
什么亲王，什么伯爵 Princes and counties.
好一个伯爵，因为他 我但愿自己是个男人！ A goodly count. O that I were a man for his sake!
但愿有哪个朋友愿意为我 做个堂堂男子汉！ Or that I had any friend who would be a man for my sake!
可男子气概已化为鞠躬请安 勇猛强悍已化为阿谀奉承 But manhood is melted into curtsies, valor into compliment,
男人们变得只是吹牛拍马的舌头 and men are only turned into tongues, and trim ones too.
撒完谎再发誓说谎言是真的 他就成了英雄好汉！ For he is now as valiant as Hercules who only tells a lie and swears it!
我不能随心所愿变成男人 I cannot be a man with wishing,
只好作为女人伤心而死 therefore I will die a woman with grieving.
我举手为誓，我爱你 By this hand, I love thee.
用手发誓爱我 不如用手做更有意义的事 Use it for my love some other way than swearing by it.
凭良心，你真的认为 克罗迪奥伯爵冤枉了希罗？ Think you in your soul the Count Claudio hath wronged Hero?
像我知道自己有灵魂一样确定 As sure as I have thought or a soul.
足够了，一言为定 Enough, I am engaged.
我要去向他挑战 I will challenge him.
让我吻一吻你的手 I will kiss your hand.
凭此手发誓，克罗迪奥 定要给我个交代 By this hand, Claudio shall render me a dear account.
等我的消息吧，把我放在你心里 As you hear of me, so think of me.
去吧，去安慰你堂姐 Go, comfort your cousin.
我要对外说她死了 I must say she is dead.
好，再见吧 And so, farewell.
你叫什么名字，朋友？ What is your name, friend?
波拉奇奥 Borachio.
请写下来 Pray, write down, Borachio.
你呢？ Yours, sirrah?
我叫康拉德 My name is Conrade.
你们敬奉上帝吗？ Masters, do you serve God?
是的，希望是 Yea, sir, we hope.
记下他们希望敬奉上帝 Write down, that they hope they serve God.
要把上帝写在前面 And write God first,
不写前面，上帝会生气 for God defend but God should go before such villains.
已经证明，你们和 欺诈人的恶棍差不多 Masters, it is proved already that you are little better than false knaves,
很快就将如此认定 and will go near to be thought so shortly.
你们如何为自己申辩？ How answer you for yourselves?
大人，我们说我们不是坏人 Marry, sir, we say we are none.
乖巧的家伙，我要诱他说真话 A marvelous witty fellow, I assure you, but I will go about with her.
我有话悄悄跟你说 A word in your ear, sir.
告诉你，大家都说 你们是欺诈的恶人 I say to you, you are false knaves.
大人，告诉你，我们不是 Sir, I say to you we are none.
撇得真干净 Well, stand aside.
他们串通好口供一致 'Fore God, they are both in a tale.
记下他们不是坏人了吗？ Have you writ down, that they are none?
警官大人，你不能这样审讯 Master constable, you go not the way to examine.
必须把控告他们的巡警叫来 You must call forth the watch that are their accusers.
对，这办法最快 叫那俩巡警上来 Yea, marry, that is the eftest way. Let the watch come forth.
弟兄们，我以亲王的名义 命令你们 Masters, I charge you in the prince's name
控告他们 accuse these men.
这个人说，亲王的弟弟 唐·约翰才是坏人 This man said, sir, that Don John, the prince's brother, was a villain.
写下来“约翰亲王是坏人” Write down, "Prince John a villain."
说亲王弟弟是坏人 这是伪证罪 Why, that's flat perjury, to call a prince's brother villain.
警官… Master constable...
别说话 Pray thee, fellow, peace.
告诉你，我讨厌你的模样 I do not like thy look, I promise thee.
还听见他说什么了？ What heard you him say else?
因为诬陷希罗小姐 他收到唐·约翰给的一千金币 Marry, that he had received a thousand ducats of Don John for accusing the Lady Hero wrongfully.
真是前所未有的公然抢劫 Flat burglary as ever was committed.
对，一点没错！ Yea, by mass, that it is!
还说什么了？ What else, fellows?
说克罗迪奥伯爵听了他的话 And that Count Claudio did mean, upon his words,
要在众人面前羞辱希罗 不跟她结婚 to disgrace Hero before the whole assembly and not marry her.
哦，恶人！ O villain.
你要为自己犯下的恶行 下地狱永受折磨 Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting redemption for this.
还有什么？ What else?
就这些了 This is all.
两位先生，这件事 你们已无法抵赖 And this is more, masters, than you can deny.
约翰亲王今早已偷偷逃走 Prince John is this morning secretly stolen away,
希罗受到这般羞辱 被人拒绝结婚 Hero was in this manner accused, in this very manner refused,
伤心过度，突然身亡 and upon this grief suddenly died.
警官，把这两人捆起 送到里昂纳多府上 Master constable, let these men be bound, and brought to Leonato.
我先走一步，报告他审讯结果 I will go before and show him their examination.
把他们捆起来，交给… Come, let them be opinioned.
上帝啊，书记官呢？ 记下他说亲王的官吏是蠢货 God's my life, where's the sexton? Let her write down the prince's officer coxcomb.
来，把他们捆起来 Come, bind them.
该死的坏蛋！ Thou naughty varlet!
走开！你是蠢驴！ Away! You are an ass!
你是头蠢驴！ You are an ass.
你瞧不起我的地位？ Dost thou not suspect my place?
瞧不起我这把年纪？ Dost thou not suspect my years?
但愿她在这儿 记下有人说我是驴 O that she were here to write me down an ass.
弟兄们，记住我是头驴 But, masters, remember that I am an ass,
虽然没有记下来 though it be not written down,
但别忘了我是驴 yet forget not that I am an ass.
你这坏蛋，说话真够孝顺的 Thou villain, thou art full of piety,
这里的人都可以做见证 as shall be proved upon thee by good witness.
我是聪明人，而且大小是个官 I am a wise fellow, and, which is more, an officer,
还是有房产的人 and, which is more, a householder,
相貌比得过麦西纳任何一个人 and, which is more, as pretty a piece of flesh as any is in Messina,
我还是懂法律的人 and one that knows the law, go to.
身边还有几个大钱 And a rich fellow enough, go to.
虽然也曾有过不走运 And a fellow that hath had losses,
可我还有两件长袍 我的东西样样漂亮 and one that hath two gowns and every thing handsome about him!
真希望她记下我是头驴 O that I had been writ down an ass!
先生，有什么消息？ Now, signior, what news?
你好，殿下 Good day, my lord.
我们到处找你 We've been up and down to seek thee,
因为我们一肚子烦恼 想将它排遣 for we are high-proof melancholy and would fain have it beaten away.
能给我们讲讲笑话吗？ Wilt thou use thy wit?
我的笑话在剑鞘里，拔出来吗？ It is in my scabbard, shall I draw it?
你把笑话挂在腰里？ Dost thou wear thy wit by thy side?
听说有人笑破肚皮 没人把笑话挂在腰里 Never any did so, though very many have been beside their wit.
请你拔出来吧 像琴师拿出乐器让我们高兴 I will bid thee draw, as we do the minstrels,
拔吧，你拔吧 draw, to pleasure us.
说实话，他脸色苍白 As I'm an honest man, he looks pale.
病了？还是生气？ Art thou sick, or angry?
拿出勇气来，朋友！ What, courage, man!
虽然忧愁能杀死猫 但你有勇气赶走忧愁 What though care killed a cat thou hast mettle in thee to kill care.
我们什么时候把野牛角 But when shall we set the savage bull's horns
插在理性的班尼迪克头上？ on the sensible Benedick's head?
下面写上 “已婚男班尼迪克在此” Yea, and text underneath, "Here dwells Benedick the married man"?
我能不能悄悄和你说句话？ Shall I speak a word in your ear?
上帝保佑别向我挑战 God bless me from a challenge.
你是个坏蛋，我不开玩笑 You are a villain. I jest not.
你敢用什么方式，什么武器 什么时候和我决斗，我都从命 I will make it good how you dare, with what you dare, and when you dare.
否则我就宣布你是懦夫 Do me right, or I will protest your cowardice.
好，我一定奉陪 也可借此解解心中烦闷 Well, I will meet you, so I may have good cheer.
殿下，知遇之恩，我万分感谢 My lord, for your many courtesies, I thank you.
恕我不能再陪伴你身边 I must discontinue your company.
你弟弟这个私生子已逃出麦西纳 Your brother the bastard is fled from Messina.
你们合伙杀死了一位 温柔无辜的姑娘 You have among you killed a sweet and innocent lady.
至于那位白面公子 我们已约好决斗 For my Lord Lackbeard, there, he and I shall meet.
在那之前，愿他平安 And, till then, peace be with you.
他不是说我弟弟逃走了吧？ Did he not say, my brother was fled?
警官，这两人犯了什么罪？ Officers, what offense have these men done?
哦，大人，他们造谣生事 Marry, sir, they have committed false report.
而且，他们还说假话 Moreover, they have spoken untruths.
第二，他们诋毁诽谤 Secondarily, they are slanders.
最后第六，他们诬陷了一位小姐 Sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady.
第三，他们作伪证 Thirdly, they have verified unjust things,
总而言之，他们是说谎的坏蛋 and, to conclude, they are lying knaves.
警官学问太大，说话难懂 This learned constable is too cunning to be understood.
你们犯了什么罪？ What's your offense?
王爷在上，我直截了当回答吧 Sweet Prince, let me go no farther to mine answer.
请听我说，让这位伯爵杀了我吧 Do you hear me, and let this count kill me.
我甚至蒙蔽了你的眼睛 I have deceived even your very eyes.
你的慧眼观察不到的 What your wisdoms could not discover,
让这几个蠢货揭露出来 these shallow fools have brought to light.
他们偷听到我承认 你弟弟唆使我诬陷希罗 Who overheard me confessing how your brother incensed me
让你们看见我 和假扮希罗的女仆说话 to slander the Lady Hero, how you saw me court Margaret in Hero's garments,
让你们羞辱希罗小姐 how you disgraced her.
我的恶行已记录在案 My villainy they have upon record,
我愿以死将它封存 不愿再提起让我羞愧难当 which I had rather seal with my death than repeat over to my shame.
这段话是不是像利刃刺进你肉里？ Runs not this speech like iron through your blood?
听他的话就像喝下毒药 I have drunk poison whiles he utter'd it.
来人，把这两个原告带走 Come, bring away the plaintiffs,
弟兄们，赶上时间地点对头时 and, masters, do not forget to specify,
别忘了证明我是头驴 when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.
哪一个是那恶汉？ Which is the villain?
让我看看他的眼，以后碰见这样的 Let me see his eyes, that, when I note another man like him,
远而避之，哪个是他？ I may avoid him. Which of these is he?
想知道谁害了你，就看我吧 If you would know your wronger, look on me.
是你这奴才用鬼话 害死了我无辜的孩子？ Art thou the slave that with thy breath hast kill'd mine innocent child?
对，就我一个人 Yea, even I alone.
不，不是的，你这恶人 No, not so, villain.
这里还有一对正人君子 Here stann*k pair of honorable men,
第三个跑了，他们都有份 a third is fled, that had a hand in it.
两位贵人，谢谢你们 害死了我女儿 I thank you, Princes, for my daughter's death.
把这事和你们的功绩一同记载 Record it with thy high and worthy deeds.
想想看，这事干得多光彩 'Twas bravely done, if you bethink you of it.
我不知如何请你息怒 但我必须说 I know not how to pray your patience, yet I must speak.
对于我所犯下的罪恶 Choose your revenge yourself,
虽然我犯错出于无心 但你想如何处置，就如何处置吧 impose on me what penance your invention can lay upon my sin, yet sinn'd I not but in mistaking.
我发誓，我也是无心 By my soul, nor I.
为让老人家消气 我愿领受他给我的任何重罚 And to satisfy this good old man, I would bend under any heavy weight that he'll enjoin me to.
我不能命令你们让我女儿复活 I cannot bid you bid my daughter live.
那不可能 That were impossible.
但我要你们向全体麦西纳人宣告 我女儿死得多么清白 But, I pray you both, possess the people in Messina here how innocent she died,
如果爱能激发你悲伤的诗情 and if your love can labor ought in sad invention,
给她墓碑挂上悼念的挽词 hang her an epitaph upon her tomb
对着她的尸骨吟唱 and sing it to her bones.
今晚就去 Sing it to-night.
明早你到我家来 To-morrow morning come you to my house,
做不成我女婿 可以做我侄女婿 for since you could not be my son-in-law, be yet my nephew.
舍弟有个女儿 和亡女长得一模一样 My brother hath a daughter, almost the copy of my child that's dead,
她是我们兄弟二人的唯一继承人 and she alone is heir to both of us.
将你本该给希罗的都给她堂姐 Give her the right you should have given her cousin,
我的这口气也就消了 and so dies my revenge.
我接受你的好意 I do embrace your offer
今后克罗迪奥永远听你驱使 and dispose for henceforth of poor Claudio.
必须让这坏蛋和玛格丽特对质 This naughty man shall face to face be brought to Margaret,
她一定被令弟买通参与阴谋 who I believe was pack'd in all this wrong, hired to it by your brother.
不，我以灵魂发誓她并不知情 No. By my soul, she was not,
和我说话也不知道怎么回事 nor knew not what she did when she spoke to me.
据我所知，她一向规规矩矩 But always hath been just and virtuous in any thing I do know by her.
还有，大人 虽然没有白纸黑字 Moreover, sir. Although it be not under white and black,
可这原告，这罪犯 确实叫过我驴子 this plaintiff here, the offender, did call me ass.
请你在判罪时不要忘记 I beseech you, let it be remembered in her punishment.
谢谢你的细心和辛苦 I thank thee for thy care and honest pains.
上帝保佑你，请准许我离去 God keep your worship. I humbly give you leave to depart,
愿咱们后会无期 and should a merry meeting be wished,
小的告辞了 God prohibit it.
走吧，伙计 Come, neighbor.
诸位，明天早上见 Until to-morrow morning, lords, farewell.
我们一定来 We will not fail.
把这两人带走 Bring you these fellows on.
玛格丽特好姑娘 求你帮我请碧翠丝出来说话 Pray thee, Mistress Margaret, deserve well at my hands by helping me to the speech of Beatrice.
你能写首十四行诗 赞扬我的美貌吗？ Will you then write me a sonnet in praise of my beauty?
我会写首最高雅的 没有哪个男子高攀得上 In so high a style, Margaret, that no man living shall come over it,
说实话，你值得这样赞扬 for, in most comely truth, thou deservest it.
没有男子高攀得上 那我只好一辈子落空了？ To have no man come over me. Why, shall I always keep below stairs?
你的口才好犀利 说起俏皮话如猎狗咬人 Thy wit is as quick as the greyhound's mouth, it catches.
你的口才像表演用的假剑 And yours as blunt as the fencer's foils,
怎么使也伤不了人 which hit, but hurt not.
这就是男子汉的口才 决不会伤害女人 A most manly wit, Margaret, it will not hurt a woman.
请你叫出碧翠丝 我认输交出盾牌 So, I pray thee, call Beatrice. I give thee bucklers.
把剑交出来，盾牌我们自己有 Give us the swords, we have bucklers of our own.
恋爱之神，高坐天庭 The god of love sits above
知道我，他知道我 Knows me, and knows me
多么值得可怜… How pitiful I deserve...
是我的歌喉值得可怜 I mean in singing.
说到恋爱，游泳好手利安德 But in loving, Leander the good swimmer,
最先请媒人的特洛伊罗斯 Troilus the first employer of panders,
谁都不像可怜的我 why, they were never so truly turned over
真的为情神魂颠倒 and over as my poor self in love.
我无法用诗句来表达 搜肠刮肚只找到 Marry, I cannot show it in rhyme, I have tried.
“儿郎”对“姑娘”，太幼稚 I can find out no rhyme to "lady" but "baby,"
“甲壳”对“轻蔑”，太牵强 an innocent rhyme. For "scorn," "horn,"
“呆鸟”对“学校” 根本对不上 a hard rhyme. For "school," "fool,"
这些韵脚都不太吉利 a babbling rhyme. Very ominous endings.
我想我命中无诗才 不会用华丽的词语去求爱 No, I was not born under a rhyming planet. Nor I cannot woo in festival terms.
亲爱的碧翠丝，我叫你 你就会来吗？ Sweet Beatrice, wouldst thou come when I called thee?
会，让我走，我也会走 Yea, signior, and depart when you bid me.
别走，再待一会儿 O, stay but till then!
“一会儿”已经过了，再见 "Then" is spoken, fare you well now.
不过走之前，我要问明白 And yet, ere I go.
你和克罗迪奥说过什么 Let me go with that I came,
我是为这事才来的 which is, knowing what hath passed between you and Claudio.
我对他恶语相向，吻我一下吧 Only foul words, and thereupon I will kiss thee.
恶语带来恶风，恶风带来恶气 Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath,
恶气是有害的，所以我不要吻你 and foul breath is noisome, therefore I will depart unkissed.
你真能强词夺理 Thou hast frighted the word out of his right sense,
这正是你的机智 so forcible is thy wit.
但我必须明白告诉你 克罗迪奥已受到我挑战 But I must tell thee plainly, Claudio undergoes my challenge
很快会收到他的通知 否则我就宣布他是懦夫 and either I will shortly hear from him, or I will subscribe him a coward.
现在请你告诉我 And, I pray thee, now,
你当初看中我什么缺点爱上了我？ tell me for which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?
你的全部缺点 For them all together,
你将所有缺点兼容并蓄 which maintained so politic a state of evil
不容任何优点混杂其中 that they would not admit any good part to intermingle with them.
那你当初看中我什么优点 对我害起相思？ But for which of my good parts did you first suffer love for me?
害起相思！说得好！ Suffer love! A good epithet!
我确实被相思所害 I do suffer love, indeed,
因为爱你有违我的初衷 for I love thee against my will.
原来你违背了自己的心 In spite of your heart, I think.
如果你为了我而违背它 那我也要违背 If you will spite it for my sake, I will spite it for yours,
因为朋友恨的，我绝不能爱 for I could never love that which my friend hates.
你我太聪明 无法平静地谈情说爱 Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.
请告诉我，你堂姐怎样了？ I pray thee, now tell me, how doth your cousin?
憔悴不堪 Very ill.
那你呢？ And how do you?
我也憔悴不堪 Very ill, too.
敬畏上帝，好好爱我，早日痊愈 Serve God, love me, and mend.
小姐，快去你叔叔那儿！ Madam, you must come to your uncle!
已经证明希罗小姐受人冤枉 It is proved my Lady Hero hath been falsely accused,
亲王和克罗迪奥上了大当 the prince and Claudio mightily abused,
唐·约翰是罪魁祸首 他已经跑了 and Don John is the author of all, who's fled and gone.
你马上过来吗？快点 Will you come presently?
你去听听吗，先生？ Will you come hear this news, signior?
我愿活在你心里 I will live in thy heart,
死在你怀里，葬在你眼里 die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes,
也愿意陪你一起去 and, moreover, I will go with thee.
我不是说过她无罪吗？ Did I not tell you she was innocent?
亲王和克罗迪奥 误信人言才错怪希罗 So are the prince and Claudio, who accused her upon the error that you heard debated.
但玛格丽特在此事上有过失 But Margaret was in some fault for this, although against her will,
不过根据调查结果 这并非出于她本意 as it appears in the true course of all the question.
好啦，一切总算圆满结束 Well. I am glad that all things sort so well.
神父，请一定帮我个忙 Friar, I must entreat your pains, I think.
什么事，先生？ To do what, signior?
成全我，还是毁掉我 二者择其一 To bind me, or undo me, one of them.
里昂纳多先生，不瞒你说 Signior Leonato, truth it is, good sir,
令侄女对我另眼相看 your niece regards me with an eye of favor.
那另一只眼其实是 我女儿借给她的 That eye my daughter lent her 'tis most true.
我用充满爱的眼光回报她 And I do with an eye of love requite her.
我想你那眼光来自我 克罗迪奥和亲王 The sight whereof I think you had from me, from Claudio, and the prince.
但你意欲如何？ But what's your will?
大人，你的话太玄妙 Your answer, sir, is enigmatical.
我的意愿，我的意愿 就是得到你许可 For my will, my will is your good will may stand with ours
让我们今天就缔结下 美好姻缘，结婚 in this day to be conjoin'd in the state of honorable marriage.
神父，这事就有劳你了 In which, dear Friar, I shall entreat your pains.
早安，各位朋友 Good morrow to this fair assembly.
早安，亲王 早安，克罗迪奥 Good morrow, Prince. Good morrow, Claudio.
我们正在等你们 We here attend you.
你今天仍愿娶我弟弟的女儿吗？ Are you yet determined to-day to marry with my brother's daughter?
她长得像黑炭，我也不反悔 I'll hold my mind, were she an Ethiope.
过来 Come forth.
神父已经准备好 Here's the friar. Ready.
哪位是我要娶的姑娘？ Which is the lady I must seize upon?
就是这位，我把她交给你 This same is she, and I do give you her.
那她就是我的了 Why, then she's mine.
亲爱的，让我看看你的脸 Sweet, let me see your face.
不，现在还不行 No, that you shall not,
等你带她到神父面前 宣誓娶她后才行 till you take her hand before this friar and swear to marry her.
把手给我 Give me your hand.
当着神父的面 Before this holy friar,
如你不嫌弃，我愿做你丈夫 I am your husband, if you like of me.
我活着时，是你的前妻 And when I lived, I was your other wife.
你爱着时，是我的前夫 And when you loved, you were my other husband.
又一个希罗！ Another Hero!
一点不错 Nothing certainer.
一个希罗已蒙垢而死 可我还活着 One Hero died defiled, but I do live,
我以处子之身活在人间 and surely as I live, I am a maid.
以前的希罗？死去的希罗？ The former Hero? Hero that is dead?
谗言活着，她就死了 She died, my lord, but whiles her slander lived.
这一切惊讶我可以解释 All this amazement can I qualify.
神圣的仪式结束后 When after that the holy rites are ended,
我会把希罗之死详细告诉你们 I'll tell you largely of fair Hero's death.
现在先放下惊讶 Meantime let wonder seem familiar,
我们马上去教堂吧 and to the chapel let us presently.
且慢，神父 Soft and fair, friar.
哪位是碧翠丝？ Which is Beatrice?
我就是她 I answer to that name.
你想干什么？ What is your will?
你不是爱我吗？ Do not you love me?
哦，不是 Why, no,
只是按规矩对待你 no more than reason.
那你叔叔、亲王和克罗迪奥都错了 Why, then your uncle and the prince and Claudio
他们发誓说你爱我 have been deceived. They swore you did.
你不是爱我吗？ Do not you love me?
真的不是，只是按规矩 Troth, no, no more than reason.
那我堂姐、玛格丽特 和欧苏拉都错了 Why, then my cousin Margaret and Ursula are much deceived,
他们发誓说你爱我 for they did swear you did.
他们发誓你为我差点病倒 They swore you were almost sick for me.
他们发誓你为我差点死去 Well, they swore that you were well-nigh dead for me.
根本没这回事 'Tis no such matter.
这么说你不爱我？ Then you do not love me?
不爱 No,
只是…报答朋友 truly, but in friendly recompense.
过来，侄女 Come here.
我可以断定你爱这位绅士 I am sure you love the gentleman.
我敢发誓，他爱她 And I'll be sworn upon it that he loves her,
因为这儿有他亲笔写的一张纸 for here's a paper written in his hand,
上面的歪诗是他搜肠刮肚 写给碧翠丝的 a halting sonnet of his own pure brain, fashion'd to Beatrice.
这儿有张我堂妹亲笔写的纸 And here's another writ in my cousin's hand,
从她口袋偷来的 述说对班尼迪克的一片深情 stolen from her pocket, containing her affection unto Benedick.
奇迹啊，我们的手 都违背了我们的心 A miracle. Here's our own hands against our hearts.
来吧，我要娶你 Come, I'll have thee,
但对天发誓，我是因为可怜你 but, by this light, I take thee for pity.
哦，我不愿拒绝你 O, I would not deny you,
但老天在上 我是扭不过大家劝告 but, by this good day, I yield upon great persuasion
而且还为了救你性命 人们说你得了肺痨 and partly to save your life, for I was told you were in a consumption.
别说了，我要堵住你的嘴 Peace. I will stop your mouth.
你好吗，已婚男班尼迪克？ How dost thou, Benedick the married man?
告诉你吧，殿下 I'll tell thee what, Prince,
就是一群伶牙俐齿的人 也改变不了我心意 a college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor.
我会在乎冷嘲热讽吗？ Thinkest thou I care for a satire or an epigram?
不会，既然我拿定主意结婚 No, since I do purpose to marry,
不管人们说什么闲话 我都不会理会 I will think nothing to any purpose that the world can say against it,
我说过反对结婚的话 不要因此把我嘲笑 and therefore never flout at me for what I have said against it,
因为人本善变，这就是我的结论 for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
殿下，你弟弟约翰 逃跑途中被抓获 My lord. Your brother John is ta'en in flight,
由武装士兵押回麦西纳 and brought with armed men back to Messina.
先不管他，明天再说 我会帮你想个办法惩罚他 Think not on him till to-morrow. I'll devise thee brave punishments for him.
结婚前我们先来跳舞吧 Let's dance ere we are married,
让我们的心和妻子的鞋跟同飞舞 that it may lighten our hearts and our wives' heels.
还是先结婚吧 We'll have dancing afterward.
还是先跳舞吧，音乐奏起来 First, upon my word. Therefore, play, music.
亲王，你好像有心事 Prince, thou art sad.
娶个妻子吧，娶个妻子吧 Get thee a wife, get thee a wife.
