哈姆雷特
那边是谁 不 你先回答我 Who's there?
站住 告诉我你是什么人 Nay, answer me Stand, And unfold yourself!
国王万岁 Long live the king!
-勃那多吗 -正是 - Bernardo? - He!
你来得很准时 You come most carefully upon your hour.
现在已经打过十二点钟 你去睡吧 弗兰西斯科 Tis now struck twelve. Get thee to bed, Francisco.
谢谢你来替我 天冷得厉害 我心里也老大不舒服 For this relief much thanks 'tis bitter cold, and I am sick at heart.
你守在这儿 一切都很安静吗 Have you had quiet guard?
一只小老鼠也不见走动 Not a mouse stirring.
好 晚安 要是你碰见霍拉旭和马西勒斯 Well, good night. If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,
我的守夜的伙伴们 the rivals of my watch,
-就叫他们赶紧来 -我想我听见了他们的声音 - bid them make haste! - I think I hear them.
-喂 站住 你是谁 -都是自己人 -Stand, ho! Who is there? - Friends to this ground.
-丹麦王的臣民 -祝你们晚安 - And liegemen to the Dane. - Give you good night.
啊 再会 正直的军人 谁替了你 O, farewell, honest soldier, who hath reliev'd you?
勃那多接我的班 祝你们晚安 Bernardo has my place. Give you good night.
喂 勃那多 Holla! Bernardo!
-喂 啊 霍拉旭也来了吗 -有这么一个他 - What, is Horatio there? - a piece of him.
欢迎 霍拉旭 欢迎 马西勒斯 Welcome, Horatio. Welcome, Marcellus.
什么 这东西今晚又出现过了吗 What, has this thing appear'd again tonight?
-我还没有瞧见什么 -霍拉旭说那不过是我们的幻想 - I have seen nothing. - Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
他总是不肯相信 and will not let belief take hold of him.
我告诉他我们已经两次看见过这一个可怕的怪象 Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us,
所以我请他 therefore I have entreated him along with us
今晚也来陪我们守一夜 to watch the minutes of this night,
要是这鬼魂再出来 就可以证明我们并没有看错 that, if again this apparition come, he may approve our eyes
还可以叫他和它说几句话 and speak to it.
嘿 嘿 它不会出现的 Tush, tush, 'twill not appear.
先请坐下 虽然你一定不肯相信我们的故事 Sit down awhile, and let us once again assail your ears,
我们还是要把我们这两夜来所看见的情形再向你絮叨一遍 that are so fortified against our story, what we two nights have seen.
好 我们坐下来 听听勃那多怎么说 Well, sit we down, and let us hear Bernardo speak of this.
昨天晚上 北极星西面的那颗星 Last night of all, when yond same star
已经移到了它现在吐射光辉的地方 that's westward from the pole
时钟刚敲了一点 had made his course to illume that part of heaven where now it burns,
马西勒斯跟我两个人 Marcellus and myself, the bell then beating one...
住声 不要说下去 瞧 它又来了 Peace, break thee off, look where it comes again!
正像已故的国王的模样 In the same figure, like the king that's dead!
你是有学问的人 去和它说话 霍拉旭 Thou art a scholar, speak to it, Horatio!
它的样子不像已故的国王吗 看 霍拉旭 Looks it not like the king? Mark it, Horatio!
像得很 Most like.
它使我心里充满了恐怖和惊奇 It harrows me with fear and wonder.
-它希望我们对它说话 -你去问它 霍拉旭 - It would be spoke to. - Speak to it, Horatio!
你是什么鬼怪 What art thou, that usurp'st this time of night,
胆敢僭窃丹麦先王出征时的神武的雄姿 together with that fair and war like form
在这样深夜的时分出现 in which the majesty of buried Denmark did sometimes march?
-凭着上天的名义 我命令你说话 -它生气了 - By heaven I charge thee, speak! - It is offended!
瞧 它昂然不顾地走开了 See, it stalks away!
不要走 说呀 说呀 我命令你 快说 Stay! Speak, speak! I charge thee speak!
它走了 不愿回答我们 'Tis gone, and will not answer.
怎么 霍拉旭 你在发抖 你的脸色这样惨白 How now, Horatio! You tremble and look pale
这不是幻想吧 你有什么高见 is not this something more than fantasy? What think you on't?
凭上帝起誓 倘不是我自己的眼睛向我证明 Before my God, I might not this believe...
我再也不会相信这样的怪事 without the sensible and true avouch of mine own eyes.
-它不像我们的国王吗 -正和你像你自己一样 - is It Not like the King? - As thou art to thyself.
它身上的那副战铠 Such was the very armour he had on
就是它讨伐野心的挪威王的时候所穿的 when he the ambitious Norway combated,
它脸上的那副怒容 活像它有一次在谈判决裂以后 so frown'd he once when, in an angry parle,
把那些乘雪车的波兰人击溃在 he smote the sledded
冰上的时候的神气 怪事怪事 Polacks on the ice. 'Tis strange.
前两次它也是这样不先不后地在这个静寂的时辰 Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
用军人的步态走过我们的眼前 with martial stalk hath he gone by our watch.
我不知道究竟应该怎样想法 In what particular thought to work I know not,
可是大概推测起来 but, in the gross and scope of my opinion,
这恐怕预兆着我们国内将要有一番非常的变故 this bodes some strange eruption to our state.
好吧 坐下来 谁要是知道的 请告诉我 Good now, sit down, and tell me, he that knows,
为什么我们要有这样森严的戒备 why this same strict and most observant watch,
使全国的军民每夜不得安息 so nightly toils the subject of the land,
为什么每天都在制造铜炮 and why such daily cast of brazen cannon,
还要向国外购买战具 and foreign mart for implements of war,
为什么征集大批造船匠 why such impress of ship wrights, whose sore task
连星期日也不停止工作 does not divide the Sunday from the week...
这样夜以继日地辛苦忙碌 What might be toward, that this sweaty haste
究竟为了什么 doth make the night joint-labourer with the day?
-谁能告诉我 -我可以告诉你 - Who is't that can inform me? - That can I.
至少一般人都是这样传说 At least, the whisper goes so.
刚才它的形像还向我们出现的那位已故的王上 Our last king, whose image even but now appear'd to us,
你们知道 曾经接受骄矜好胜的 was, as you know,
挪威的福丁布拉斯的挑战 by Fortinbras of Norway,
在那一次决斗中间 thereto prick'd on bya most emulate pride,
我们的勇武的哈姆莱特 dar'd to the combat, in which our valiant Hamlet,
他的英名是举世称颂的 for so this side of our known world esteem'd him,
把福丁布拉斯杀死了 did slay this Fortinbras,
按照双方根据法律和骑士精神所订立的协议 who, by a seal'd compact, well ratified by law and heraldry,
福丁布拉斯要是战败了 除了他自己的生命以外 did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands,
必须把他所有的一切土地拨归胜利的一方 which he stood seiz'd of, to the conqueror
同时我们的王上也提出相当的土地作为赌注 against the which, a moiety competent was gaged by our king,
要是福丁布拉斯得胜了 which had return'd to the inheritance of Fortinbras,
那土地也就归他所有 had he been vanquisher,
正像在同一协议上所规定的 as by the same cov'nant,
他失败了 and carriage of the article design'd,
哈姆莱特可以把他的土地没收一样 his fell to Hamlet.
现在要说起那位福丁布拉斯的儿子 Now, sir, young Fortinbras,
他生得一副未经锻炼的烈火也似的性格 of unimproved mettle hot and full,
在挪威四境召集了一群无赖之徒 hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there,
供给他们衣食 驱策他们去干冒险的勾当 shark'd up a list of landless resolutes,
好叫他们显一显身手 For food and diet, to some enterprise that hath a stomach in't,
他的唯一的目的 我们的当局看得很清楚 which is no other, as it doth well appear unto our state,
无非是要用武力和强迫性的条件 but to recover of us, by strong hand, and terms compulsatory,
夺回他父亲所丧失的土地 those foresaid lands so by his father lost
照我所知道的 这就是我们种种准备的主要动机 and this, I take it, is the main motive of our preparations,
我们这样戒备的唯一原因 the source of this our watch,
也是全国所以这样慌忙骚乱的缘故 and the chief head of this post-haste and rummage in the land.
我想正是为了这个缘故 I think it be no other but e'en so
我们那位王上在过去和目前的战乱中间 well may it sort, that this portentous figure
都是一个主要的角色 comes armed through our watch,
所以无怪他的武装的形像要向我们出现示警了 so like the king that was and is the question of these wars.
那是扰乱我们心灵之眼的一点微尘 A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye.
从前在富强繁盛的罗马 In the most high and pal my state of Rome,
在那雄才大略的裘力斯?西泽遇害以前不久 a little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
披着殓衾的死人都从坟墓里出来 the graves stood tenantless,
在街道上啾啾鬼语 and the sheeted dead did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets,
星辰拖着火尾 and even the like precurse of feared events,
露水带血 as harbingers preceding still the fates,
露水带血 and prologue to the omen coming on,
太阳变色 have heaven and earth together demonstrated unto
太阳变色 our climatures and countrymen,
支配潮汐的月亮, as stars with trains of fire and dews of blood,
被吞蚀得像一个没有起色的病人 disasters in the sun, and the moist star,
这一类预报重大变故的朕兆 upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands,
在我们国内的天上地下也已经屡次出现了 was sick almost to dooms day with eclipse
可是不要响 瞧 瞧 它又来了 but, soft, behold! Lo, where it comes again!
我要挡住它的去路 即使它会害我 不要走 鬼魂 I'll cross it, though it blast me. Stay, illusion!
要是你能出声 会开口 对我说话吧 If thou hast any sound, or use of voice, speak to me.
要是我有可以为你效劳之处 If there be any good thing to be done, that may to thee
使你的灵魂得到安息 do ease, and grace to me,
那么对我说话吧 speak to me if
要是你预知祖国的命运 靠着你的指示 thou art privy to thy country's fate,
也许可以及时避免未来的灾祸 那么对我说话吧 which, happily, fore knowing may avoid, o, speak!
或者你在生前曾经把你搜括得来的财宝埋藏在地下 Or if thou hast up hoarded in thy life extorted treasure
我听见人家说 in the womb of earth
鬼魂往往在他们藏金的地方徘徊不散 for which, they say,
要是有这样的事 你也对我说吧 you spirit soft walk in death, speak of it!
不要走 说呀 拦住它 马西勒斯 - Stay, and speak! - Stop it, Marcellus!
要不要我用我的戟刺它 Shall I strike at it with my partisan?
-好的 要是它不肯站定 -它在这儿 它在这儿 - Do, if it will not stand. - 'Tis here! 'Tis here!
它走了 'Tis gone!
我们不该用暴力对待这样一个尊严的亡魂 We do it wrong, being so majestical, to offer it the show of violence,
因为它是像空气一样不可侵害的 for it is, as the air, invulnerable,
我们无益的打击不过是恶意的徒劳 and our vain blows malicious mockery.
它正要说话的时候 鸡就啼了 It was about to speak, when the cock crew. And then it started,
于是它就像一个罪犯听到了可怕的召唤似的惊跳起来 like a guilty thing upon a fearful summons.
我听人家说 雄鸡用它高锐的啼声 唤醒了白昼之神 I have heard the cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,
一听到它的警告 doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
那些在海里 火里 地下 awake the god of day,
空中到处浪游的有罪的灵魂 and at his warning, whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
就一个个钻回自己的巢穴里去 the extravagant and erring spirit hies to his confine.
这句话现在已经证实了 And of the truth here in this present object made probation.
那鬼魂正是在鸡鸣的时候隐去的 It faded on the crowing of the cock.
有人说 Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
在我们每次欢庆圣诞之前不久 wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
这报晓的鸟儿总会彻夜长鸣 the bird of dawning singeth all night long,
那时候 他们说 没有一个鬼魂可以出外行走 and then, they say, no spirit can walk abroad...
夜间的空气非常清凈 The nights are wholesome.
没有一颗星用毒光射人 没有一个神仙用法术迷人 Then no planets strike, no fairy takes,
妖巫的符咒也失去了力量 nor witch hath power to charm, so...
一切都是圣洁而美好的 hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
我也听人家这样说过 倒有几分相信 So have I heard, and do in part believe it.
可是瞧 清晨披着赤褐色的外衣 But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
已经踏着那边东方高山上的露水走过来了 walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill
我们也可以下班了 break we our watch up
照我的意思 and by my advice, let us impart
我们应该把我们今夜看见的事情告诉年轻的哈姆莱特 what we have seen to night unto young Hamlet,
因为凭我的生命起誓 这一个鬼魂虽对我们不发一言 for, upon my life, this spirit, dumb to us,
见了他一定有话要说 will speak to him.
们以为按着我们的交情和责任说起来 Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,
是不是应当让他知道这件事情 as needful in our loves, fitting our duty?
很好 我们决定去告诉他吧 Let's do't, I pray, and I this morning know
我知道今天早上在什么地方最容易找到他 where we shall find him most conveniently.
虽然我们亲爱的王兄哈姆莱特新丧未久 Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death
他会在我们的记忆里长存 the memory be green, and that it us befitted.
我们的心里应当充满了悲痛 To bear our hearts in grief,
我们全国都应当表示一致的哀悼 and our whole kingdom to be contracted in one brow of woe,
可是我们凛于后死者责任的重大 不能不违情逆性 yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
一方面固然要用适度的悲哀纪念他 that we with wisest sorrow think on him,
一方面也要为自身的利害着想 together with remembrance of ourselves.
所以 在一种悲喜交集的情绪之下 Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen,
让幸福和忧郁分据了我的两眼 th' imperial join tress to this warlike state,
殡葬的挽歌和结婚的笙乐同时并奏 have we, as 't were with a defeated joy,
用盛大的喜乐抵销沉重的不幸 with an auspicious and one dropping eye,
我已经和我旧日的长嫂 当今的王后 with mirth in funeral, and with dirge in marriage,
这一个多事之国的共同的统治者 in equal scale weighing delight and dole,
结为夫妇 taken to wife.
这一次婚姻事先曾经征求各位的意见 Nor have we herein barr'd your better wisdoms,
多承你们诚意的赞助 which have freely gone with this affair along.
这是我必须向大家致谢的 For all, our thanks.
现在我要告诉你们知道 Now follows, that you know, young Fortinbras,
年轻的福丁布拉斯看轻了我们的实力 holding a weak supposal of our worth,
也许他以为自从我们亲爱的王兄驾崩以后 or thinking by our late dear brother's death
我们的国家已经瓦解 our state to be disjoint and out of frame,
所以挟着他的从中取利的梦想 colleagued with this dream of his advantage,
不断向我们书面要求 He hath not fail'd to pester us with message,
把他的父亲依法割让 importing the surrender of those lands
给我们英勇的王兄的土地归还 lost by his father, with all bonds of law,
这是他一方面的话 to our most valiant brother. So much for him!
现在要讲到我们的态度和今天召集各位来此的目的 Now for ourself and for this time of meeting
我们的对策是这样的 thus much the business is we have here
我这儿已经写好了一封信给挪威国王 writ to Norway,
年轻的福丁布拉斯的叔父 uncle of young Fortinbras
他因为卧病在床 who, impotent and bed-rid,
不曾与闻他侄子的企图 scarcely hears of this his nephew's purpose,
在信里我请他注意他侄子擅自征募壮丁 训练士卒 to suppress his further gait herein,
积极进行各种准备的事实 in that the levies, the lists, and full proportions
要求他从速制止他的进一步的行动 are all made out of his subject.
现在我就派遣你 考尼律斯 还有你 伏提曼德 and we here dispatch you, good Cornelius, and you, Voltimand
替我把这封信送给挪威老王 for bearers of this greeting to old Norway,
除了训令上所规定的条件以外 giving to you no further personal power to business with the king,
你们不得僭用你们的权力 和挪威成立逾越范围的妥协 more than the scope of these dilated articles allow.
你们赶紧去吧 再会 Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.
我们敢不尽力执行陛下的旨意 In that and all things will we show our duty.
我相信你们的忠心 再会 We doubt it nothing. Heartily farewell!
现在 雷欧提斯 你有什么话说 And now, Laertes, what's the news with you?
你对我说你有一个请求 是什么请求 雷欧提斯 You told us of some suit, what is't, Laertes?
只要是合理的事情 你向丹麦王说了 You cannot speak of reason to the Dane,
他总不会不答应你 and lose your voice
你有什么要求 雷欧提斯 what wouldst thou beg, Laertes,
不是你未开口我就自动许给了你 that shall not be my offer, not thy asking?
正像头脑之于心灵一样密切 The head is not more native to the heart,
正像双手乐于为嘴服役一样 the hand more instrumental to the mouth,
丹麦国王乐意为你父亲效劳 than is the throne of Denmark to thy father.
-你要些什么 雷欧提斯 -陛下 - What wouldst thou have, Laertes? - My dread lord,
我要请求您允许我回到法国去 your leave and favour to return to France,
这一次我回国参加陛下加冕的盛典 from whence though willingly I came to Denmark,
略尽臣子的微忱 实在是莫大的荣幸 to show my duty in your coronation,
可是现在我的任务已尽 yet now, I must confess, that duty done,
我的心愿又向法国飞驰 my thoughts and wishes bend again toward France,
但求陛下开恩允准 and bow them to your gracious leave and pardon.
你父亲已经答应你了吗 波洛涅斯怎么说 Have you your father's leave? What says Polonius?
陛下 He hath, my lord,
我却不过他几次三番的恳求 wrung from me my slow leave by labour some petition,
已经勉强答应他了 and at last upon his will I seal'd my hard consent
请陛下放他去吧 I do be seech you, give him leave to go.
好好利用你的时间 雷欧提斯 Take thy fair hour, Laertes, time be thine, and thy best graces.
尽情发挥你的才能吧 Spend it at thy will.
可是来 我的侄儿哈姆莱特 我的孩子... But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son...
超乎寻常的亲族 漠不相干的路人 A little more than kin, and less than kind!
为什么愁云依旧笼罩在你的身上 How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
不 陛下 Not so, my lord,
我已经在太阳里晒得太久了 I am too much i' the sun.
好哈姆莱特 抛开你阴郁的神气吧 Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off,
对丹麦王应该和颜悦色一点 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 vailed lids
在泥土之中找寻你的高贵的父亲 seek for thy noble father in the dust.
你知道这是一件很普通的事情 Thou know'st 'tis common
活着的人谁都要死去 从生活踏进永久的宁静 all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity.
嗯 母亲 这是一件很普通的事情 Ay, madam, it is common.
既然是很普通的 你为什么瞧上去好像老是郁郁于心 If it be, why seems it so particular with thee?
好像 母亲 不 是这样就是这样 Seems, madam! Nay, it is,
我不知道什么"好像"不"好像" I know not seems.
好妈妈 我的墨黑的外套 Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
礼俗上规定的丧服 nor customary suits of solemn black,
难以吐出来的叹气 nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath,
像滚滚江流一样的眼泪 no, nor the fruitful river in the eye,
悲苦沮丧的脸色 nor the dejected 'havior of the visage,
以及一切仪式 外表和忧伤的流露 together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
都不能表示出我的真实的情绪 that can denote me truly these, indeed, seem,
这些才真是给人瞧的 因为谁也可以做作成这种样子 for they are actions that a man might play.
它们不过是悲哀的装饰和衣服 But I have that with in which passeth show.
可是我的郁结的心事却是无法表现出来的 These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
哈姆莱特 你这样孝思不匮 Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
原是你天性中纯笃过人之处 to give these mourning duties to your father,
可是你要知道 你的父亲也曾失去过一个父亲 but, you must know, your father lost a father,
那失去的父亲自己也失去过父亲 that father lost, lost his,
那后死的儿子为了尽他的孝道 and the survivor bound, in filial obligation,
必须有一个时期服丧守制 for some term to do obsequious sorrow.
然而固执不变的哀伤 But to persevere in obstinate condolement is
却是一种逆天悖理的愚行 a course of impious stubbornness.
不是堂堂男子所应有的举动 Tis unmanly grief, it shows a will
它表现出一个不肯安于天命的意志 most incorrect to heaven,
一个经不起艰难痛苦的心 一个缺少忍耐的头脑 a heart unfortified, a mind impatient,
和一个简单愚昧的理性 an understanding simple and unschool'd,
既然我们知道那是无可避免的事 for what we know must be,
无论谁都要遭遇到同样的经验 and is as common as any the most vulgar thing to sense.
那么我们为什么要这样固执地把它介介于怀呢 Why should we, in our peevish opposition,
嘿 那是对上天的罪戾 take it to heart? Fie! 'Tis a fault to heaven,
对死者的罪戾 a fault against the dead,
也是违反人情的罪戾 在理智上它是完全荒谬的 a fault to nature, to reason most absurd
因为从第一个死了的父亲起 whose common theme is death of fathers,
直到今天死去的最后一个父亲为止 and who still hath cried,
理智永远在呼喊 from the first corpse till he that died to-day,
"这是无可避免的" 'This must be so.'
我请你抛弃了这种无益的悲伤 We pray you, throw to earth this unprevailing woe,
把我当作你的父亲 and think of us as of a father.
因为我要让全世界知道 For let the world take note
你是王位的直接的继承者 you are the most immediate to our throne!
我要给你的尊荣和恩宠 And with no less nobility of love
不亚于一个最慈爱的父亲之于他的儿子 than that which dearest father bears his son
至于 do I impart toward you.
你要回到威登堡去继续求学的意思 For your intent in going back to school in Wittenberg,
那是完全违反我们的愿望的 it is most retrograde to our desire
请你听从我的劝告 不要离开这里 and we beseech you bend you to remain here
在朝廷上领袖群臣 做我们最亲近的国亲和王子 in the cheer and comfort of our eye,
使我们因为每天能看见你而感到欢欣 our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.
不要让你母亲的祈求全归无用 哈姆莱特 Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet
请你不要离开我们 不要到威登堡去 I pray thee stay with us, go not to Wittenberg.
我将要勉力服从您的意志 母亲 I shall in all my best obey you, madam.
啊 那才是一句有孝心的答复 Why, 'tis a loving and a fair reply
你将在丹麦享有和我同等的尊荣 御妻 来 be as ourself in Denmark. Madam, come.
哈姆莱特这一种自动的顺从使我非常高兴 This gentle and unforc'd accord of Hamlet sits smiling to my heart
为了表示庆祝 今天丹麦王每一次举杯祝饮的时候 in grace whereof, no jocund health that Denmark drinks to-day
都要放一响高入云霄的祝炮 but the great cannon to the clouds shall tell,
让上天应和着地上的雷鸣 and the king's rouse the heaven shall bruit again,
发出欢乐的回声 来 re-speaking earthly thunder. Come away.
啊 但愿这一个太坚实的肉体会融解 消散 that this too too solid flesh would melt,
化成一堆露水 thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!
或者那永生的真神 Or that the ever lasting had not fix'd
未曾制定禁止自杀的律法 his canon 'gainst self-slaughter!
上帝啊 上帝啊 God! God!
人世间的一切 How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
在我看来是多么可厌 陈腐 乏味而无聊 seem to me all the uses of this world!
哼 哼 那是一个荒芜不冶的花园 Fie on't! Ah fie! 'Tisan unweeded garden,
长满了恶毒的莠草 that grows to seed, things rank and gross in nature
想不到居然会有这种事情 possess it merely.
刚死了两个月 That it should come to this! But two months dead!
不 两个月还不满 Nay, not so much, not two.
这样好的一个国王 比起当前这个来 So excellent a king, that was, to this,
简直是天神和丑怪 Hyperion to a satyr,
这样爱我的母亲 甚至于不愿让天风吹痛了她的脸 so loving to my mother, that he might not beteem the winds of heaven
天地呀 我必须记着吗 visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth! Must I remember?
嘿 她会偎倚在他的身旁 Why, she would hang on him
好像吃了美味的食物 格外促进了食欲一般 as if in crease of appetite had grown by what it fed on
可是 只有一个月的时间 我不能再想下去了 and yet, within a month! Let me not think on't...
脆弱啊 你的名字就是女人 短短的一个月以前 Frailty, thy name is woman! A little month,
她哭得像个泪人儿似的 or ere those shoes were old with which
送我那可怜的父亲下葬 she followed my poor father's body
她在送葬的时候所穿的那双鞋子还没有破旧 她就 like Niobe, all tears, why she, even she,
上帝啊 一头没有理性的畜生 God! A beast that wants discourse of reason,
也要悲伤得长久一些 would have mourn'd longer!
她就嫁给我的叔父 我的父亲的弟弟 Married with mine uncle, my father's brother
可是他一点不像我的父亲 but no more like my father
正像我一点不像赫剌克勒斯一样 than I to Hercules within a month!
只有一个月的时间 Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous
她那流着虚伪之泪的眼睛还没有消去红肿 Tears had left the flushing in her galled eyes
她就嫁了人了 she married.
啊 罪恶的匆促 most wicked speed!
这样迫不及待地钻进了乱伦的衾被 To post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
那不是好事 也不会有好结果 It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
可是碎了吧 我的心 But break my heart,
因为我必须噤住我的嘴 for I must hold my tongue!
-祝福 殿下 -我很高兴看见你身体健康 - Hail to your lordship! - I am glad to see you well
你不是霍拉旭吗 Horatio...
绝对没有错 or I do forget myself?
正是 殿下 我永远是您的卑微的仆人 The same, my lord, and your poor servant ever.
不 你是我的好朋友 我愿意和你朋友相称 Sir, my good friend, I'll change that name with you!
你怎么不在威登堡 霍拉旭 And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio?
-马西勒斯 -殿下 - Marcellus! - My good lord.
我很高兴看见你 你好 朋友 I am very glad to see you. Good even, sir.
可是你究竟为什么离开威登堡 But what, in faith, make you from Wittenberg?
无非是偷闲躲懒罢了 殿下 a truant disposition, good My lord.
我不愿听见你的仇敌说这样的话 I would Not hear your enemy say so
你也不能用这样的话刺痛我的耳朵 nor shall you do my ear that violence,
使它相信你对你自己所作的诽谤 to make it truster of you rown report against yourself.
我知道你不是一个偷闲躲懒的人 I know you are no truant.
可是你到艾尔西诺来有什么事 But what is your affair in Elsinore?
趁你未去之前 我们要陪你痛饮几杯哩 We'll teach you to drink deep ere you depart.
殿下 我是来参加您的父王的葬礼的 My lord, I came to see your father's funeral.
请你不要取笑 我的同学 I prithee do not mock me, fellow-student.
我想你是来参加我的母后的婚礼的 I think it was to see my mother's wedding.
-真的,殿下,这两件事情相去得太近了 Indeed, my lord, it follow'd hard upon.
这是一举两便的办法 霍拉旭 Thrift, thrift, Horatio!
葬礼中剩下来的残羹冷炙 正好宴请婚筵上的宾客 The funeral bak'd meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
霍拉旭 我宁愿在天上遇见我的最痛恨的仇人 Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven,
也不愿看到那样的一天 or ever I had seen that day, Horatio!
我的父亲 My father...
我仿佛看见我的父亲 Me thinks I see my father.
啊 在什么地方 殿下 Where, my lord?
在我的心灵的眼睛里 霍拉旭 In my mind's eye, Horatio.
我曾经见过他一次 I saw him once.
他是一位很好的君王 He was a goodly king.
他是一个堂堂男子 整个说起来 He was a man, take him for all in all,
-殿下 我想我昨天晚上看见他 -殿下 - I shall Not look upon his like again. - My lord...
我想 I think
我昨天晚上 I saw him
看见他 yesternight.
看见 Saw...
谁 who?
殿下 我看见 My lord, the king!
您的父王 Your father.
-我的父王 -不要吃惊 - the King my father! - Season your admiration for awhile
请您静静地听我把这件奇事告诉您 with an attent ear, till I may deliver,
这两位可以 upon the witness of these gentlemen,
-替我做见证 -看在上帝的份上 讲给我听 - this marvel to you! - For God's love let me hear!
这两位朋友 马西勒斯和勃那多 Two nights together had these gentlemen, Marcellus and Bernardo,
在万籁俱寂的 on their watch in the dead vast and middle of the night,
午夜守望的时候 been thus encounter'd
曾经连续两夜看见一个自顶至踵全身甲胄 a figure like your father, armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe,
像您父亲一样的人形 在他们的面前出现 appears before them and with solemn march
用庄严而缓慢的步伐走过他们的身边 goes slow and stately by them.
在他们惊奇骇愕的眼前 它三次走过去 Thrice he walk'd by their oppress'd and fear -surprised eyes,
它手里所握的鞭杖可以碰到他们的身上 within his truncheon's length...
他们吓得几乎浑身都瘫痪了 whilst they, distill'd almost to jelly with the act of fear,
只是呆立着不动 一句话也没有对它说 stand dumb, and speak not to him.
怀着惴惧的心情 他们把这件事悄悄地告诉了我 This to me in dreadful secrecy impart they did,
我就在第三夜陪着他们一起守望 and I with them the third night kept the watch.
正像他们所说的一样 那鬼魂又出现了 Where, as they had deliver'd, both in time,
出现的时间和它的形状 form of the thing,
证实了他们的每一个字都是正确的 each word made true and good, the apparition comes!
我认识您的父亲 我这两手也不及他们彼此的相似 I knew your father, these hands are not more like!
可是这是在什么地方 But where was this?
殿下 就在我们守望的露台上 My lord, upon the platform where we watch'd.
你们有没有和它说话 Did you Not Speak to it?
殿下 我说了 可是它没有回答我 My lord, I Did, but answer made It none.
不过有一次我觉得它好像抬起头来 Yet once me thought it lifted up it head,
像要开口说话似的 and did address itself to motion, like as it would speak...
可是就在那时候 晨鸡高声啼了起来 But even then the morning cock crew loud, and at the sound
它一听见鸡声 就很快地隐去不见了 it shrunk in haste away, and vanish'd from our sight.
-这很奇怪 -凭着我的生命起誓 殿下 - 'Tis very strange. - As I do live, my honour'd lord,
这是真的 我们认为按着我们的责任 tis true, and we did think it writ down
应该让您知道这件事 in our duty to let you know of it.
不错 不错 朋友们 可是这件事情很使我迷惑 Indeed, indeed, sirs, but this troubles me.
-你们今晚仍旧要去守望吗 -是 殿下 - Hold you the watch tonight? - My lord, we do.
-你们说它穿着甲胄吗 -是 殿下 - Arm'd, say you? - Arm'd, my lord.
-从头到脚 -从头到脚 殿下 - From top to toe? - My lord, From head to foot.
那么你们没有看见它的脸吗 Then saw you Not his face?
啊 看见的 殿下 它的脸甲是掀起的 yes, My lord he wore his beaver up.
怎么 它瞧上去像在发怒吗 What, look'd he frowningly?
它的脸上悲哀多于愤怒 A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
-它的脸色是惨白的还是红红的 -非常惨白 - Pale or red? - Nay, very pale.
-它把眼睛注视着你吗 -它直盯着我瞧 - And fix'd his eyes upon you? - Most constantly.
-我真希望当时我也在场 -那一定会使您吃惊万分 - I would I had been there. - It would have much amaz'd you.
多半会的 多半会的 Very like, very like.
它停留得长久吗 Stay'd it long?
大概有一个人用不快不慢的速度从一数到一百的那段时间 While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred.
-还要长久一些 -我看见它的时候 不过这么久 - Longer. - Not when I saw't.
它的胡须是斑白的吗 His beard was grizzled, no?
是的 正像我在它生前看见的那样 It was, as I have seen it in his life,
乌黑的胡须里略有几根变成白色 a sable silver'd.
我今晚也要守夜去 I will watch to night.
-也许它还会出来 -我可以担保它一定会出来 - Perchance 'twill walk again. - I warrant you it will.
要是它借着我的父王的形貌出现 即使地狱张开嘴来 If it assume my noble father's person, I'll speak to it,
叫我不要作声 我也一定要对它说话 though hell itself should gape and bid me hold my peace.
要是你们到现在还没有把你们所看见的告诉别人 I pray you all, if you have hither to conceal'd this sight,
那么就要请求你们大家继续保持沉默 let it be tenable in your silence still, and...
无论今夜发生什么事情 what so ever else shall hap to night,
都请放在心里 不要在口舌之间泄漏出去 give it an understanding, but no tongue.
我一定会报答你们的忠诚 I will requite your loves.
好 再会 So, fare ye well.
今晚十一点钟到十二点钟之间 我要到露台上来看你们 Upon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve, I'll visit you.
我们愿意为殿下尽忠 Our duty to your honour.
让我们彼此保持着不渝的交情 Your loves,
再会 as mine to you farewell.
我父亲的灵魂披着甲胄 事情有些不妙 My father's spirit in arms! All is not well,
我想这里面一定有奸人的恶计 I doubt some foul play
但愿黑夜早点到来 静静地等着吧 我的灵魂 would the night were come! Till then sit still, my soul.
罪恶的行为总有一天会发现 Foul deeds will rise,
虽然地上所有的泥土把它们遮掩 though all the eartho'er whelm them, to men's eyes.
我需要的对象已经装在船上 再会了 妹妹 My necessaries are embark'd farewell
在好风给人方便 and, sister, as the winds give benefit
船只来往无阻的时候 不要贪睡 and convoy is assistant, do not sleep,
-让我听见你的消息 -你还不相信我吗 - but let me hear From you. - Do you doubt that?
对于哈姆莱特和他的调情献媚 For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favour,
你必须把它认作年轻人一时的感情冲动 hold it a fashion, and a toy in blood
一朵初春的紫罗兰早熟而易凋 a violet in the youth of primynature, forward, not permanent,
馥郁而不能持久 一分钟的芬芳和喜悦 sweet, not lasting, the perfume and suppliance of a minute, no more.
-不过如此吗 -不过如此 - No more but so? - Think it no more
因为一个人成长的过程 不仅是肌肉和体格的增强 for nature, crescent, does not grow alone in thews and bulk,
而且随着身体的发展 but as this temple waxes, the inward service
精神和心灵也同时扩大 of the mind and soul grows wide withal.
也许他现在爱你 Perhaps he loves you now,
他的真诚的意志是纯洁而不带欺诈的 and now no soil nor cautel doth be smirch the virtue of his will
可是你必须留心 他有这样高的地位 but you must fear, his greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own,
他的意志并不属于他自己 for he himself is subject to his birth
因为他自己也要被他的血统所支配 he may not, as unvalu'd persons do, carve for himself,
他不能像一般庶民一样为自己选择 for on his choice depends the sanity
因为他的决定足以影响到整个国本的安危 and health of this whole state,
他是全身的首脑 and therefore must his choice be circumscrib'd
他是全身的首脑 unto the voice and yielding
他的选择必须得到各部分肢体的同意 of that body whereof he is the head.
所以要是他说 他爱你 Then if he says he loves you,
你不可贸然相信 应该明白 it fits your wisdom so far to believe it
照他的身分地位说来 他要想把自己的话付诸实现 as he in his particular act and place may give his saying deed,
决不能越出丹麦国内普遍舆论所同意的范围 which is no further than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
你再想一想 Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain
要是你用过于轻信的耳朵倾听他的歌曲 if with too creden tear you list his songs,
让他攫走了你的心 他的狂妄的渎求之下 or lose your heart,
打开了你的宝贵的童贞 or your chaste treasure
那时候你的名誉将要蒙受多大的损失 open to his unmaster'd importunity.
奥菲利娅 留心 我的亲爱的妹妹 Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister,
不要放纵你的爱情 and keep you in the rear of your affection,
不要让欲望的利箭把你射中 out of the shot and danger of desire.
一个自爱的女郎 若是向月亮显露她的美貌 The chariest maid is prodigal enough
就算是极端放荡了 if she unmask her beauty to the moon
圣贤也不能逃避谗口的中伤 virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes
春天的草木往往还没有吐放它们的蓓蕾 the canker galls the infants of the spring too oft
就被蛀虫蠹蚀 before their buttons be disclos'd
朝露一样晶莹的青春 and in the morn and liquid dew of youth
常常会受到罡风的吹打 contagious blastments are most imminent.
所以留心吧 戒惧是最安全的方策 Be wary then, best safety lies in fear
即使没有旁人的诱惑 少年的血气也要向他自己叛变 youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
我将要记住你这个很好的教训 让它看守着我的心 I shall th' effect of this good lesson keep as watchman to my heart.
可是 我的好哥哥 你不要像有些坏牧师一样 But, good my brother, do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
指点我上天去的险峻的荆棘之途 show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
同时 自己却像不计后果的浪子 whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
在花街柳巷流连忘返 himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
忘记了自己的箴言 and recks not his own read.
啊 不要为我担心 O, fear me not.
-我耽搁得太久了 -还在这儿 雷欧提斯 - I stay too long. - Yet here, Laertes!
可是父亲来了 两度的祝福是双倍的福分 But here my father comes. A double blessing is a double grace.
第二次的告别是格外可喜的 Occasion smiles upon a second leave.
上船去 上船去 真好意思 Aboard, aboard, for shame!
风息在帆顶上 The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
人家都在等着你哩 好 我为你祝福 and you are stay'd for. There, my blessing with thee!
还有几句教训 希望你铭刻在记忆之中 And these few precepts in thy memory see thou character.
不要想到什么就说什么 凡事必须三思而行 Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
对人要和气 可是不要过分狎昵 Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
相知有素的朋友 Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
应该用钢圈箍在你的灵魂上 grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,
可是不要对每一个 but do not dull thy palm with entertainment
泛泛的新知滥施你的交情 of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.
留心避免和人家争吵 可是万一争端已起 Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in,
就应该让对方知道你不是可以轻侮的 bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
倾听每一个人的意见 可是只对极少数人发表你的意见 Give every man thineear, but few thy voice
接受每一个人的批评 可是保留你自己的判断 take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
尽你的财力购制贵重的衣服 可是不要炫新立异 Costly thy habit as thy purse canbuy, but not express'd in fancy,
必须富丽而不浮艳 因为服装往往可以表现人格 rich, not gaudy for the apparel oft proclaims the man,
法国的名流要人 and they in France of the best rank and station
就是在这点上显得最高尚 与众不同 are most select and generous chief in that.
不要向人告贷 也不要借钱给人 Neither a borrower nor a lender be
因为债款放出去 往往不但丢了本钱 还失去了朋友 for loan oft loses both itself and friend,
向人告贷的结果 容易养成因循懒惰的习惯 and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
尤其要紧的 This above all,
你必须对你自己忠实 正像有了白昼才有黑夜一样 to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day,
对自己忠实 才不会对别人欺诈 thou canst not then be false to any man.
再会 愿我的祝福使这一番话在你的行事中奏效 Farewell my blessing season this in thee!
父亲 我告别了 Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
时候不早了 去吧 你的仆人都在等着 The time invites you, go, your servants tend.
再会 奥菲利娅 Farewell, Ophelia,
记住我对你说的话 and remember well what I have said to you.
你的话已经锁在我的记忆里 'Tis in my memory lock'd,
那钥匙你替我保管着吧 And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
再会 Farewell.
奥菲利娅 他对你说些什么话 What is't, Ophelia, he hath said to you?
回父亲的话 So please you,
我们刚才谈起哈姆莱特殿下的事情 something touching the Lord Hamlet.
嗯 这是应该考虑一下的 Marry, well be thought 'tis told me
听说他近来常常跟你在一起 he hath very oft of late given private time to you,
也从来不拒绝他的求见 要是果然有这种事 and you yourself have of your audience been most free and bounteous.
人家这样告诉我 也无非是叫我注意的意思 If it be so, as so 'tis put on me, and that in way of caution,
那么我必须对你说 你还没有懂得你做了我的女儿 I must tell you, you do not underst and yourself so clearly
按照你的身分 应该怎样留心你自己的行动 as it behooves my daughter and your honour.
究竟在你们两人之间有些什么关系 What is between you?
老实告诉我 Give me up the truth.
父亲 He hath, my lord, of late
他最近曾经屡次向我表示他的爱情 made many tenders of his affection to me.
爱情 呸 你讲的话完全像是一个 Affection! Pooh! You speak like a green girl,
不曾经历过这种危险的不懂事的女孩子 unsifted in such perilous circumstance.
你相信你所说的他的那种表示吗 Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?
父亲 我不知道我应该怎样想才好 I do not know, my lord, what I should think.
好 让我来教你 你应该这样想 你是一个毛孩子 Marry, I'll teach you think yourself a baby,
竟然把这些假意的表示当作了真心的奉献 that you have ta'en these tenders for true pay,
你应该"表示"出一番更大的架子 which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly,
要不然 就此打住吧 or, not to crack the
这个可怜的字眼被我使唤得都快断气了 wind of the poor phrase,
-你就"表示"你是个十足的傻瓜 wronging it thus, you'll tender me a fool.
父亲 他向我求爱的态度是很光明正大的 My lord, he hath importun'd me with love in honourable fashion.
不错 那只是态度 算了 算了 Ay, fashion you maycall it, go to, go to.
而且 父亲 他差不多用尽一切指天誓日的盟约 And hath given countenance to his speech, my lord,
证实他的言语 with almost all the holy vows of heaven.
嗯 这些都是捕捉愚蠢的山鹬的圈套 Ay, springes to catch woodcocks.
我知道在热情燃烧的时候 I do know, when the blood burns,
一个人无论什么盟誓都会说出口来 how prodigal the soul lends the tongue vows
这些火焰 女儿 是光多于热的 these blazes, daughter, giving more light than heat,
刚刚说出口就会光销焰灭 extinct in both, even in their promise, as it is a -making,
你不能把它们当作真火看待 从现在起 you must not take for fire. From this time, daughter,
你还是少露一些你的女儿家的脸 be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence,
你应该抬高身价 不要让人家以为你是可以随意呼召的 set your entreatments at a higher rate than a command to parley.
对于哈姆莱特 你应该这样想 他是个年轻的王子 For Lord Hamlet, believe so much in him, that he is young,
他比你在行动上有更大的自由 and with a larger tether may he walk than may be given you.
总而言之 奥菲利娅 不要相信他的盟誓 In few, Ophelia, do not believe his vows,
它们不过是淫媒 内心的颜色和服装完全不一样 for they are brokers, not of that dye which their investments show,
只晓得诱人干一些龌龊的勾当 but mere implorators of unholy suits,
正像道貌岸然大放厥辞的鸨母 只求达到骗人的目的 breathing like sanctified and pious bawds, the better to beguile.
我的言尽于此 简单一句话 从现在起 This is for all, I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth
我不许你一有空闲 have you so slander any moment leisure
就跟哈姆莱特殿下聊天 as to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet.
你留点儿神吧 进去 Look to't, I charge you, come your ways.
我一定 I shall
听从您的话 obey,
父亲 my lord.
风吹得人怪痛的 这天气真冷 The air bites shrewdly, it is very cold.
-是很凛冽的寒风 -现在什么时候了 - It is a nipping And an eager air. - What hour now?
-我想还不到十二点 -不 已经打过了 - I think It lacks of twelve. - No, It is struck.
真的 我没有听见 Indeed? I heard it not...
那么鬼魂出现的时候快要到了 Then it draws near the season wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
这是什么意思 殿下 What does this mean, my lord?
王上今晚大宴群臣 The King doth wake to night and takes his rouse,
作通宵的醉舞 keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels,
每次他喝下了一杯葡萄美酒 and, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
铜鼓和喇叭便吹打起来 欢祝万寿 the kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out the triumph of his pledge.
-这是向来的风俗吗 -嗯 是的 - Is it a custom? - Ay, marry, is't.
可是我虽然从小就熟习这种风俗 But to my mind, though I am native here, and to the manner born,
我却以为把它破坏了倒比遵守它还体面些 it is a custom more honour'd in the breach than the observance.
这一种酗酒纵乐的风俗 This heavy -headed revel east and west
使我们在东西各国受到许多非议 makes us traduc'd and tax'd of other nations
他们称我们为酒徒醉汉 they clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase soil our addition,
将下流的污名 and, indeed, it takes from our achievements,
加在我们头上 though perform'd at height,
使我们各项伟大的成就都因此而大为减色 the pith and marrow of our attribute.
在个人方面也常常是这样 So oft it chances in particular men
由于品性上有某些丑恶的瘢痣 或者是天生的 that, for some vicious mole of nature in them, as in their birth,
这就不能怪本人 因为天性不能由自己选择 where in they are not guilty, since nature cannot choose his origin,
或者是某种脾气发展到反常地步 by the o'er growth of some complexion,
冲破了理智的约束和防卫 oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
或者是某种习惯 or by some habit, that
玷污了原来令人喜爱的举止 too much o'er-leavens the form of plausive manners,
这些人只要带着上述一种缺点的烙印 that these men, carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,
天生的标记或者偶然的机缘 being nature's livery, or fortune's star,
不管在其余方面他们是如何圣洁 their virtues else, be they as pure as grace,
如何具备一个人所能有的无限美德 as infinite as man may undergo,
由于那点特殊的毛病 shall in the general censure take
在世人的非议中也会感染溃烂 corruption from that particular fault.
少量的邪恶足以勾销全部高贵的品质 The dram of evil doth all the noble substance of a doubt
-害得人声名狼藉 -瞧 殿下 它来了 - to his own scandal. - Look, my lord, it comes!
它招手叫您跟着它去 It beckons you to go away with it...
好像它有什么话要对您一个人说似的 As if it some impartment did desire to you alone.
瞧 它用很有礼貌的举动 Look with what courteous action
招呼您到一个僻远的所在去 it waves you to a more removed ground!
-可是别跟它去 -千万不要跟它去 - but Do Not go with it! - No, By No means.
-它不肯说话 我还是跟它去 -不要去 殿下 - It will Not Speak, Then will I follow it. - Do Not, My lord.
嗨 怕什么呢 我把我的生命看得不值一枚针 Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee,
至于我的灵魂 那是跟它自己同样永生不灭的 and for my soul, what can it do to that,
它能够加害它吗 being a thing immortal as itself?
它又在招手叫我前去了 我要跟它去 It waves me forth again, I'll follow it.
殿下 要是它把您诱到潮水里去 What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
或者把您领到下临大海的峻峭的悬崖之巅 or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
或者把您带到它海边的巢穴去 that beetles o'er his base into the sea,
在那边它现出了狰狞的面貌 and there assume some other horrible form
吓得您丧失理智 which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
变成疯狂 那可怎么好呢 and draw you into madness?
您想 无论什么人一到了那样的地方 Think of it the very place puts toys of desperation,
望着下面千仞的峭壁 听见海水奔腾的怒吼 without more motive, into every brain
即使没有别的原因 也会起穷凶极恶的怪念的 that looks so many fathoms to the sea and hears it roar beneath.
它还在向我招手 去吧 我跟着你 It waves me still. Goon, I'll follow thee.
-您不能去 殿下 -放开你们的手 - you shall not go, My lord. - Hold off your hands.
-听我们的劝告 不要去 -我的运命在高声呼喊 - Be rul'd, you shall not go! - My fate cries out,
使我全身每一根微细的血管 and makes each petty artery in this body
都变得像怒狮的筋骨一样坚硬 as hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
它仍旧在招我去 放开我 朋友们 凭着上天起誓 Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen! By heaven,
我要叫他变成一个鬼 走开 I'll make a ghost of him that lets me! I say, away!
去吧 Go on,
-我跟着你 -幻想占据了他的头脑 使他不顾一切 - I'll follow thee. - He waxes desperate with imagination.
让我们跟上去 我们不应该服从他的话 Let's follow, 'tis not fit thus to obey him.
那么跟上去吧 这种事情会引出些什么结果来呢 Have after. To what issue will this come?
丹麦国里恐怕有些不可告人的坏事 Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
-上帝的旨意支配一切 -得了 我们还是跟上去吧 - Heaven will direct it. - Nay, let's follow him.
天使保佑我们 Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
不管你是一个善良的灵魂或是万恶的妖魔 Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd,
不管你带来了天上的和风或是地狱中的罡风 bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell,
不管你的来意好坏 be thy intents wicked or charitable,
因为你的形状是这样引起我的怀疑 我要对你说话 thou comest in such a questionable shape that I will speak to thee!
我要叫你哈姆莱特 君王 父亲 I'll call thee Hamlet, king, father,
尊严的丹麦先王 啊 回答我 royal Dane o, answer me!
不要让我在无知的蒙昧里抱恨终天 Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell why thy canonized bones,
告诉我为什么你的长眠的骸骨不安窀穸 hearsed in death, have burst their cerements, why the sepulchre,
为什么安葬你的坟墓张开它的沉重的两颚 wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
把你重新吐放出来 你这已死的尸体这样全身甲胄 hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws, to cast thee up again.
你这已死的尸体这样全身甲胄 What may this mean, that thou, dead corse, again in complete steel
出现在月光之下 revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon,
使黑夜变得这样阴森 making night hideous, and we fools of nature
使我们这些为造化所玩弄的愚人 so horridly to shake our dispositions
由于不可思议的恐怖而心惊胆颤 with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
说 这是为了什么 你要我们怎样 Say, why is this? Wherefore? What should we do?
你要领我到什么地方去 说 我不愿再前进了 Whither wilt thou lead me? Speak! I'll go no further.
-听我说 -我在听着 - Mark me. - I will.
我的时间快到了 我必须再回到硫黄的烈火里 My hour is almost come, when I to sulfurous and tormenting flames
-去受煎熬的痛苦 -唉 可怜的亡魂 - must render up myself. - Alas, poor ghost!
不要可怜我 你只要留心听着我要告诉你的话 Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing to what I shall unfold.
-说吧 我自然要听 -你听了以后 - Speak, I am bound to hear. - So art thou to revenge,
-也自然要替我报仇 -什么 - when thou shalt hear. - What?
我是你父亲的灵魂 I am thy father's spirit,
因为生前孽障未尽 被判在晚间游行地上 doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
白昼忍受火焰的烧灼 and for the day confin'd to fast in fires,
必须经过相当的时期 等生前的过失被火焰凈化以后 till the foul crimesd one in my days of nature
方才可以脱罪 are burnt and purg'd away.
若不是因为我不能违犯禁令 泄漏我的狱中的秘密 But that I am forbid to tell the secrets of my prison-house,
我可以告诉你一桩事 最轻微的几句话 I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
都可以使你魂飞魄散 使你年轻的血液凝冻成冰 would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
使你的双眼像脱了轨道的星球一样向前突出 make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
使你的纠结的鬈发 thy knotted and combined locks to part,
根根分开 and each particular hair to stand on end
像愤怒的豪猪身上的刺毛一样森然耸立 like quills upon the fretful porcupine
可是这一种永恒的神秘 but this eternal blazon must not be
是不能向血肉的凡耳宣示的 to ears of flesh and blood.
听着 听着 啊 听着 List, list, O, list!
要是你曾经爱过 If thou didst ever
-你的亲爱的父亲 -上帝啊 - thy dear father love... - O God!
你必须替他报复那逆伦惨恶的杀身的仇恨 Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
-杀身的仇恨 -杀人是重大的罪恶 - Murder! - Murder most foul,
可是这一件谋杀的惨案 as in the best it is,
更是骇人听闻而逆天害理的罪行 but this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
赶快告诉我 Haste me to know't, that I,
让我驾着像思想和爱情一样迅速的翅膀 with wings as swift as meditation or the thoughts of love,
-飞去把仇人杀死 -我的话果然激动了你 - may sweep to my revenge. - I find thee apt,
要是你听见了这种事情而漠然无动于衷 and duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
那你除非比舒散在忘河之滨的蔓草还要冥顽不灵 that roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, wouldst thou not stir in this.
现在 哈姆莱特 听我说 Now, Hamlet, hear.
一般人都以为我在花园里睡觉的时候 'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,
一条蛇来把我螫死 a serpent stung me, so the whole ear of Denmark
这一个虚构的死状 把丹麦全国的人都骗过了 is by a forged process of my death rankly abus'd!
可是你要知道 好孩子 But know, thou noble youth,
那毒害你父亲的蛇 these rpent that did sting thy father's life
头上戴着王冠呢 now wears his crown.
啊 我的预感果然是真的 我的叔父 O my prophetic soul! Mine uncle!
嗯 那个乱伦的 奸淫的畜生 Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,
他有的是过人的诡诈 天赋的奸恶 with witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,
凭着他的阴险的手段 o wicked wit and gifts, that have the power so to seduce!
诱惑了我的外表上似乎非常贞淑的王后 won to his shameful lust
满足他的无耻的兽欲 the will of my most seeming-virtuous queen!
啊 哈姆莱特 O Hamlet...
那是一个多么卑鄙无耻的背叛 What a falling -off was there!
我的爱情是那样纯洁真诚 From me, whose love was of that dignity
始终信守着我在结婚的时候对她所作的盟誓 that it went hand in hand even with the vow I made to her in marriage,
她却会对一个天赋的才德 and to decline upon awretch whose natural gifts
远不如我的恶人降心相从 were poor to those of mine!
可是正像一个贞洁的女子 But virtue, as it never will be mov'd,
虽然淫欲罩上神圣的外表 也不能把她煽动一样 though lewdness courtit in a shape of heaven,
一个淫妇虽然和光明的天使为偶 so lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
也会有一天厌倦于天上的唱随之乐 will sate itself in a celestial bed
而宁愿搂抱人间的朽骨 and prey on garbage.
可是且慢 我仿佛嗅到了清晨的空气 But soft! Me thinks I scent the morning air,
让我把话说得简短一些 brief let me be.
当我按照每天午后的惯例 在花园里睡觉的时候 Sleeping within my orchard, my custom always of the afternoon,
你的叔父乘我不备 悄悄溜了进来 upon my secure hour thy uncle stole,
拿着一个盛着毒草汁的小瓶 with juice of cursed hebenon in a vial,
把一种使人麻痹的药水注入我的耳腔之内 and in the porches of my ears did pour the leperous distilment,
那药性发作起来 whose effect holds suchan enmity with blood of man
会像水银一样 that, swift as quicksilver,
很快地流过全身的大小血管 it courses through the natural gates and alleys of the body,
像酸液滴进牛乳一般 and with a sudden vigourit doth posset and curd,
把淡薄而健全的血液凝结起来 like eager droppings into milk, the thin and wholesome blood,
它一进入我的身体 so did it mine,
我全身光滑的皮肤上 and a most instant tetter bark'd about,
便立刻发生无数疱疹 most lazar-like, with vile and loath some crust
像害着癞病似的满布着可憎的鳞片 all my smooth body.
这样 我在睡梦之中 Thus was I, sleeping,
被一个兄弟同时夺去了 by a brother's hand,
我的生命 我的王冠和我的王后 of life, of crown, of queen,
甚至于 at once dispatch'd
不给我一个忏罪的机会 cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,
使我在没有领到圣餐也没有受过临终涂膏礼以前 unhous'led, disappointed, unanel'd,
就一无准备地 no reckoning made, but sent to my account
负着我的全部罪恶去对簿阴曹 with all my imperfections on my head.
可怕啊 可怕 O, horrible! O, horrible!
太可怕啊 Most horrible!
要是你有天性之情 不要默尔而息 If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not,
不要让丹麦的御寝 let not the royal bed of Denmark be a couch for luxury
变成了藏奸养逆的卧榻 and damned incest.
可是无论你怎样进行复仇 But, howsoever thou pursu'st this act,
不要胡乱猜疑 taint not thy mind,
更不可对你的母亲有什么不利的图谋 nor let thy soul contrive against thy mother aught
她自会受到上天的裁判 leave her to heaven, and to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,
和她自己内心中的荆棘的刺戳 to prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once!
现在我必须去了 萤火的微光已经开始暗淡下去 The glow worm shows the matin to be near,
清晨快要到来了 and 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
再会 再会 哈姆莱特 Adieu, adieu! Hamlet.
记着我 Remember me!
天上的神明啊 O all you host of heaven!
地啊 再有什么呢 O earth! what else?
我还要向地狱呼喊吗 And shall I couple hell?
啊 呸 O, fie!
忍着吧 忍着吧 我的心 Hold, hold, my heart,
我的全身的筋骨 不要一下子就变成衰老 and you, my sinews, grow notinstant old,
支持着我的身体呀 but bear me stiffly up.
记着你 Remember thee!
是的 我可怜的亡魂 Ay, thou poor ghost,
当记忆不曾从我这混乱的头脑里消失的时候 whiles memory holds a seat in this distracted globe.
我会记着你的 是的 Remember thee! Yea,
我要从我的记忆的碑版上 from the table of my memory
拭去一切琐碎愚蠢的记录 I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
一切书本上的格言 一切陈言套语 一切过去的印象 all saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
我的少年的阅历所留下的痕迹 that youth and observation copied there,
只让你的命令留在我的脑筋的书卷里 and thy commandment all alone shall live
不搀杂一些下贱的废料 within the book and volume of my brain,
是的 上天为我作证 unmix'd with basermatter yes, by heaven!
啊 最恶毒的妇人 O most pernicious woman!
啊 奸贼 奸贼 脸上堆着笑的万恶的奸贼 O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
我的记事簿呢 我必须把它记下来 My tables, meet it is I set it down, that one may smile,
一个人可以尽管满面都是笑 骨子里却是杀人的奸贼 and smile, and be a villain,
至少我相信在丹麦是这样的 好 叔父 at least, I am sure, it may be so in Denmark. So, uncle,
我把你写下来了 现在我要记下我的座右铭那是 there you are. Now to my word.
"再会 再会 It is 'Adieu, adieu!
记着我" Remember me.'
我已经发过誓了 I have sworn't.
殿下 My lord!
-哈姆莱特殿下 -上天保佑他 但愿如此 - Lord Hamlet, - Heaven secure him! So be it!
喂 呵 呵 殿下 Hillo, ho, ho, My Lord!
-来 鸟儿 来 -怎样 殿下 - Come, bird, come! - How is't, my lord?
-有什么事 殿下 -啊 奇怪 - What news, my lord? - O, wonderful!
-好殿下 告诉我们 -不 你们会泄漏出去的 - Good my lord, tell it. - No, you'll reveal it.
不 殿下 凭着上天起誓 我一定不泄漏 Not I, My lord, By heaven.
我也一定不泄漏 殿下 Nor I, My lord.
那么你们说 哪一个人会想得到有这种事 How say you then, would heart of manonce think it?
可是你们能够保守秘密吗 But you'll be secret?
是 上天为我们作证 殿下 Ay, by heaven, my lord.
全丹麦从来不曾有哪一个奸贼不是一个十足的坏人 There's ne'er a villaind welling in all Denmark
殿下 but he's an arrant knave.
这样一句话是用不着什么鬼魂从坟墓里出来告诉我们的 There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave to tell us this.
啊 对了 你说得有理 所以 Why, right. You are i' the right, and so,
我们还是不必多说废话 without more circumstance at all,
大家握握手分开了吧 I hold it fit that we shake hands and part
你们可以去照你们自己的意思干你们自己的事 you, as your business and desires shall point you,
因为各人都有各人的意思和各人的事 这是实际情况 for every man hath business and desire, such as it is,
至于我自己 那么我对你们说 我是要祈祷去的 and for my own poor part, look you, I'll go pray.
殿下 您这些话好像有些疯疯癫癫似的 These are but wild and whirling words, my lord.
我的话得罪了你 I'm sorry they offend you,
真是非常抱歉 是的 我从心底里抱歉 heartily, yes, faith, heartily.
谈不上得罪 殿下 There's no offence, my lord.
不 凭着圣伯特力克的名义 Yes, by Saint Patrick,
霍拉旭 谈得上 而且罪还不小呢 but there is, Horatio, and much offence too.
讲到这一个幽灵 那么让我告诉你们 Touching this vision here, it is an honest ghost,
它是一个老实的亡魂 that let me tell you
你们要是想知道它对我说了些什么话 for your desire to know what is between us,
我只好请你们暂时不必动问 o'ermaster't as you may.
现在 好朋友们 你们都是我的朋友 And now, good friends, as you are friends,
都是学者和军人 scholars, and soldiers,
请你们允许我一个卑微的要求 give me one poor request.
是什么要求 殿下 我们一定允许您 What is't, my lord? We will.
永远不要把你们今晚所见的事情告诉别人 Never make known what you have seen to night.
殿下 我们一定不告诉别人 My lord, we will not.
不 你们必须宣誓 Nay, but swear't.
-凭着良心起誓 殿下 我决不告诉别人 In faith, My lord, Not I.
凭着良心起誓 殿下 我也决不告诉别人 Nor I, My lord, Not I.
把手按在我的剑上宣誓 upon My sword.
殿下 我们已经宣誓过了 we Have sworn, My lord, already.
-那不算 把手按在我的剑上 -宣誓 - Indeed, upon My sword, indeed. - Swear.
孩儿 你也这样说吗 你在那儿吗 好家伙 Ha, ha boy! Say'st thou so? Art thou there, true penny?
来 你们不听见这个地下的人怎么说吗 宣誓吧 Come on! you hear this fellow in the cellarage, consent to swear.
请您教我们怎样宣誓 殿下 Propose the oath, my lord.
永不向人提起你们所看见的这一切 Never to speak of this that you have seen,
把手按在我的剑上宣誓 swear by my sword.
-宣誓 -"说哪里 到哪里"吗 - Swear. - Hic et ubique?
那么我们换一个地方 过来 朋友们 Then we'll shift our ground. Come hither, gentlemen,
把你们的手按在我的剑上 and lay your hand saga in upon my sword
宣誓永不向人提起你们所听见的这件事 never to speak of this that you have heard, swear by my sword.
-宣誓! -说得好 老鼹鼠 - Swear. - Well said, old mole!
你能够在地底钻得这么快吗 好一个开路的先锋 Canst work i' the earth so fast? A worthy pioneer!
好朋友们 我们再来换一个地方 Once more remove, good friends.
嗳哟 真是不可思议的怪事 O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
那么你还是用见怪不怪的态度对待它吧 And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
天地之间有许多事情 霍拉旭 There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
是你们的哲学里所没有梦想到的呢 than are dreamt of in our philosophy.
可是 来 But come, here, as before, never
上帝的慈悲保佑你们 你们必须再作一次宣誓 so help you mercy, how strangeor odd soe'er I bear myself,
我今后也许有时候要 as I, perchance, here after shall
故意装出一副疯疯癫癫的样子 think meet to put an antic disposition on,
你们要是在那时候看见了我的古怪的举动 that you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
切不可像这样交叉着手臂 或者这样摇头摆脑的 with arms encumber'd thus, or this head -shake,
或者嘴里说一些吞吞吐吐的言词 or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, as
例如"呃 呃 我们知道" Well, we know',
或者"只要我们高兴 我们就可以" or 'We could, an if we would',
或是"要是我们愿意说出来的话" or 'If we list to speak',
或是"有人要是怎么怎么" or 'There be, an if they might',
诸如此类的含糊其辞的话语 or such ambiguous giving out,
表示你们知道我有些什么秘密 to note that you know aught of me
你们必须答应我避开这一类言词 this is not to do,
上帝的恩惠和慈悲保佑着你们 so grace and mercy at your most need help you!
-宣誓吧 -宣誓 - Swear. - Swear.
安息吧 Rest,
安息吧 rest,
受难的灵魂 perturbed spirit!
好 朋友们 So, gentlemen,
我以满怀的热情 信赖着你们两位 with all my love I do commend me to you
要是在哈姆莱特的微弱的能力以内 and what so poor a manas Hamlet is may...
能够有可以向你们表示他的友情之处 do to express his love and friending to you,
上帝在上 我一定不会有负你们 God willing, shall not lack.
让我们一同进去 Let us go in together
请你们记着无论在什么时候都要守口如瓶 and still your fingers on your lips, I pray.
这是一个颠倒混乱的时代 The time is out of joint.
唉 O cursed spite,
倒霉的我却要负起重整乾坤的责任 that ever I was born to set it right!
来 Nay, come.
我们一块儿去吧 Let's go together.
把这些钱和这封信交给他 雷奈尔多 Give him this money and these notes, Reynaldo.
是 老爷 I will, my lord.
好雷奈尔多 你在没有去看他以前 You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo,
最好先探听探听他的行为 before you visit him, to make inquiry of his behaviour.
老爷 我本来就是这个意思 My lord, I Did intend it.
很好 很好 好得很 marry, well said, very well said.
你先给我调查调查有些什么丹麦人在巴黎 Look you, sir, enquire me first what Danskers are in Paris,
他们是干什么的 叫什么名字 有没有钱 and how, and who, what means, and where they keep,
住在什么地方 跟哪些人作伴 用度大不大 what company, at what expense,
用这种转弯抹角的方法 and finding, by this encompassment and drift of question,
要是你打听到他们也认识我的儿子 that they do know my son,
你就可以更进一步 come you more nearer than your particular demands will touch it.
表示你对他也有相当的认识 你可以这样说 Take you, as 'twere, some distant knowledge of him,
"我知道他的父亲和他的朋友 对他也略为有点认识" as thus, 'I know his father and his friends, and in part him'.
你听见没有 雷奈尔多 Do you Mark this, Reynaldo?
是 我在留心听着 老爷 Ay, very well, My lord.
"对他也略为有点认识 可是" 你可以说 And in part him, but', you may say,
"不怎么熟悉 'not well but if't be he I mean,
不过假如果然是他的话 那么他是个很放浪的人 he's very wild, addicted so and so,'
有些怎样怎样的坏习惯" and there put on him what forgeries you please.
说到这里 你就可以随便捏造一些关于他的坏话 Marry, none so rank as may dishonour him,
当然罗 take heed of that,
你不能把他说得太不成样子 but, sir, such wanton,
那是会损害他的名誉的 这一点你必须注意 wild, and usual slips
可是你不妨举出一些纨?子弟的最普通的浪荡的行为 as are companions noted and most known to youth and liberty.
譬如赌钱 老爷 As gaming, my lord.
对了 或是喝酒 斗剑 赌咒 吵嘴 Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling,
嫖妓之类... drabbing...
你都可以说 You may go so far.
老爷 那是会损害他的名誉的 My lord, that would dishonour him.
不 不 你可以在言语之间说得轻淡一些 Faith, no, as you may season it in the charge.
你不能说他公然纵欲 You must not put another scandal on him,
那可不是我的意思 that he is open to incontinency, that's not my meaning
可是你要把他的过失讲得那么巧妙 but breathe his faults so quaintly that
让人家听着好像那不过是行为上的小小的不检 they may seem the taints of liberty,
一个血气方刚的少年 the flash and outbreak of a fiery mind,
一时胡闹 a savageness in unreclaimed blood,
-算不了什么 -可是老爷 - of general assault. - But, my good lord,
为什么叫你做这种事 Wherefore should you do this?
是的 老爷 请您告诉我 Ay, My lord, I would know that.
呃 我的用意是这样的 Marry, sir, here's my drift,
我相信这是一种说得过去的策略 and I believe it is a fetch of warrant.
你这样轻描淡写地说了我儿子的一些坏话 You laying theses light sullies on my son
就像你提起一件略有污损的东西似的 as 'twere a thing a little soil'd i' the working,
听着 要是跟你谈话的那个人 mark you, your party inconverse,
也就是你向他探询的那个人 him you would sound,
果然看见过你所说起的 having ever seen
那个少年犯了你刚才所列举的那些罪恶 in the prenominate crimes the youth you breathe of guilty,
他一定会用这样的话向你表示同意 be assur'd he closes with you in this consequence,
"好先生" 也许他称你 "朋友" "仁兄" Good sir,' or so, or 'friend,' or 'gentleman'
按照着各人的身分和各国的习惯 according to the phrase or the addition of man and country.
-很好 老爷 -然后他就 他就 - Very good, my lord. - And then, sir, does he this,
我刚才要说一句什么话 he does... What was I about to say?
嗳哟 我正要说一句什么话 我说到什么地方啦 By the mass, I was about to say something where did I leave?
您刚才说到"用这样的话表示同意" At 'closes in the consequence,'
还有"朋友"或者"仁兄" at 'friend or so,' and gentleman.'
说到"用这样的话表示同意" 嗯 对了 At 'closes in the consequence' ay, marry!
他会用这样的话对你表示同意 He closes with you thus
"我认识这位绅士 昨天我还看见他 或许是前天 I know the gentleman, I saw him yesterday, or t'other day,
或许是什么什么时候 跟什么什么人在一起 or then, or then, with such, or such,
正像您所说的 and, as you say, there was he gaming,
在什么地方喝得酩酊大醉 there o'ertook in's rouse,
在什么地方因为打网球而跟人家打起架来" there falling out at tennis'
也许他还会说 "我看见他走进什么生意人家去" or perchance, 'I saw him enter such a house of sale,'
那就是说窑子或是诸如此类的所在 你瞧 videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. See you now,
你用说谎的钓饵 就可以把事实的真相诱上你的钓钩 your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth
我们有智慧 有见识的人 and thus do we of wisdom and of reach,
往往用这种旁敲侧击的方法 with windlaces, and with assays of bias,
间接达到我们的目的 by indirections find directions out.
你也可以照着我上面所说的那一番话 So, by my former lecture and advice,
探听出我的儿子的行为 shall you my son.
-你懂得我的意思没有 -老爷 我懂得 - you Have me, Have you not? - My lord, I have.
上帝和你同在 再会 God b' wi' you, fare you well.
那么我去了 老爷 Good my lord!
-你自己也得留心观察他的举止 -是 老爷 - Observe his inclination In yourself. - I shall, My lord.
叫他用心学习音乐 And let him ply his music.
-是 老爷 -你去吧 - Well, my lord. - Farewell!
-父亲 -啊 奥菲利娅 什么事 - My lord! - How now, Ophelia! what's the matter?
嗳哟 父亲 吓死我了 Alas, my lord, I have been so affrighted!
凭着上帝的名义 怕什么 With what, i' the name of God?
父亲 我正在房间里缝纫的时候 My lord, as I was sewing in my chamber,
哈姆莱特殿下跑了进来 lord Hamlet,
走到我的面前 他的上身的衣服完全没有扣上纽子 with his doublet all unbrac'd,
头上也不戴帽子 no hat upon his head,
他的袜子上沾着污泥 没有袜带 一直垂到脚踝上 his stockings foul'd, ungart'red, and down-gyved to his ankle,
他的脸色像他的衬衫一样白 他的膝盖互相碰撞 pale as his shirt, his knees knocking each other,
他的神气是那样凄惨 and with a look so piteous in purport
好像他刚从地狱里逃出来 as if he had been loosed out of hell
要向人讲述地狱的恐怖一样 to speak of horrors, he comes before me.
他因为不能得到你的爱而发疯了吗 Mad for thy love?
父亲 我不知道 My lord, I do not know,
-可是我想也许是的 -他怎么说 - but truly I Do fear it. - What said he?
他握住我的手腕紧紧不放 He took me by the wrist, and held me hard,
拉直了手臂向后退立 then goes he to the length of all his arm,
用他的另一只手这样遮在他的额角上 and with his other hand thus o'er his brow,
一眼不眨地瞧着我的脸 好像要把它临摹下来似的 he falls to such perusal of my face as he would draw it.
这样经过了好久的时间 Long stay'd he so,
然后他轻轻地摇动一下我的手臂 at last, a little shaking of mine arm,
他的头上上下下点了三次 and thrice his head thus waving up and down,
于是他发出一声非常惨痛而深长的叹息 he rais'd a sigh so piteous and profound
好像他的整个的胸部都要爆裂 as it did seem to shatter all his bulk and end his being.
他的生命就在这一声叹息中完毕似的 然后他放松了我 That done, he lets me go
转过他的身体 他的头还是向后回顾 and, with his head over his shoulder turn'd
好像他不用眼睛的帮助也能够找到他的路 he seem'd to find his way without his eyes,
因为直到他走出了门外 for out o' doors he went without their help,
他的两眼还是注视在我的身上 and to the last bended their light on me.
跟我来 Come,
我要见王上去 go with me I will go seek the king.
这正是恋爱不遂的疯狂 This is the very ecstasy of love,
一个人受到这种剧烈的刺激 whose violent property fordoes itself,
什么不顾一切的事情都会干得出来 and leads the will to desperate undertakings,
其他一切能迷住我们本性的狂热 最厉害也不过如此 as oft as any passion under heaven that does afflict our natures.
我真后悔 I am sorry,
怎么 你最近对他说过什么使他难堪的话没有 what, have you given him any hard words of late?
没有 父亲 No, my good lord!
可是我已经遵从您的命令 but, as you did command,
拒绝他的来信并且不允许他来见我 I did repel his letters and denied his access to me.
这就是使他疯狂的原因 That hath made him mad.
我很后悔考虑得不够周到 看错了人 I am sorry that with better heed and judgment I had not quoted him
我以为他不过把你玩弄玩弄 恐怕贻误你的终身 I fear'd he did but trifle, and meant to wreck thee,
可是我不该这样多疑 but be shrew my jealousy!
正像年轻人干起事来 By heaven, it is as proper to our age to
往往不知道瞻前顾后一样 cast beyond ourselves in our opinions
我们这种上了年纪的人 总是免不了鳃鳃过虑 as it is common for the younger sort to lack discretion.
来 我们见王上去 Come, go we to the king
这种事情是不能蒙蔽起来的 要是隐讳不报 this must be known, which, being kept close,
也许会闹出乱子来 比直言受责要严重得多 might move more grief to hide than hate to utter love.
来 Come.
欢迎 亲爱的罗森格兰茨 Welcome, dear Rosencrantz
和吉尔登斯吞 and Guildenstern!
这次匆匆召请你们两位前来 Moreover that we much did long to see you,
一方面是因为我非常思念你们 the need we have to use you
一方面也是因为我有需要你们帮忙的地方 did provoke our hasty sending.
你们大概已经听到哈姆莱特的变化 Something have you heard of Hamlet's transformation,
我把它称为变化 因为无论在外表上或是精神上 so call it, since nor the exterior nor the inward man
他已经和从前大不相同 resembles that it was.
除了他父亲的死以外 究竟还有些什么原因 What it should be, more than his father's death,
把他激成了这种疯疯癫癫的样子 that thus hath put him so much from the understanding of himself,
我实在无从猜测 I cannot dream of
你们从小便跟他在一起长大 I entreat you both that, being of so young days brought up with him,
素来知道他的脾气 and sith so neighbour'd to his youth and humour,
所以我特地请你们到我们宫廷里来盘桓几天 that you vouch safe your res there in our court some little time
陪伴陪伴他 替他解解愁闷 so by your companies to draw him on to pleasures,
同时乘机窥探他究竟有些什么秘密的心事 and to gather, so much as from occasion you may glean,
为我们所不知道的 也许一旦公开之后 whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus,
我们就可以替他对症下药 that, open'd, lies within our remedy.
他常常讲起你们两位 Good gentlemen, he hath much talk'd of you,
我相信世上没有哪两个人 and sure I am two men there are not living
比你们更为他所亲信了 to whom he more adheres.
你们要是不嫌怠慢 If it will please you to show us so much gentry and good will
答应在我们这儿小作逗留 as to expend your time with us awhile,
帮助我们实现我们的希望 for the supply and profit of our hope,
那么你们的盛情雅意 your visitation shall receive such
一定会受到丹麦王室隆重的礼谢的 thanks as fits a king's remembrance.
我们是两位陛下的臣子 两位陛下有什么旨意 Both your majesties might, by the sovereign power you have of us,
尽管命令我们 像这样言重的话 put your dread pleasures more into command
倒使我们置身无地了 than to entreaty.
我们愿意投身在两位陛下的足下 But we both obey, and here give up ourselves, in the full bent,
两位陛下无论有什么命令 我们都愿意尽力奉行 to lay our service freely at your feet, to be commanded.
谢谢你们 罗森格兰茨和善良的吉尔登斯吞 Thanks, Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.
谢谢你们 吉尔登斯吞和善良的罗森格兰茨 Thanks, Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz
现在我就要请你们立刻去看看我的大大变了样子的儿子 and I be seech you instantly to visit my too much changed son.
来人 领这两位绅士到哈姆莱特的地方去 Go, some of you, and bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
但愿上天加佑 使我们能够得到他的欢心 Heavens make our presence and our practices pleasant
帮助他恢复常态 and helpful to him!
阿门 Ay, amen!
启禀陛下 我们派往挪威去的 Th' ambassadors from Norway, my good lord,
两位钦使已经喜气洋洋地回来了 are joyfully return'd.
你总是带着好消息来报告我们 Thou still hast been the father of good news.
真的吗 陛下 不瞒陛下说 Have I, my lord? Assure you, my goodliege,
我把我对于我的上帝和我的宽仁厚德的王上的责任 I hold my duty, as I hold my soul,
看得跟我的灵魂一样重呢 both to my God and to my gracious king.
此外 And I do think...
除非我的脑筋在观察问题上不如过去那样有把握了 or else this brain of mine hunts not the trail of policy
不然我肯定相信 so sure as it hath us'd to do,
我已经发现了哈姆莱特发疯的原因 that I have found the very cause of Hamlet's lunacy.
啊 你说吧 我急着要听呢 O, speak of that! That do I long to hear.
请陛下先接见了钦使 Give first admittance to the ambassadors.
我的消息留着做盛筵以后的佳果美点吧 My news shall be the fruit to that great feast.
那么有劳你去迎接他们进来 But thyself do grace to them, and bring them in.
我的亲爱的乔特鲁德 He tells me, my dear Gertrude, he hath found
他对我说他已经发现了你的儿子心神不定的原因 the head and source of all your son's distemper.
我想主要的原因 I doubt it is no other but the main,
还是他父亲的死和我们过于迅速的结婚 his father's death and our o'erhasty marriage.
好 等我们仔细问问 Well, we shall sift him.
欢迎 我的好朋友们 Welcome, my good friends!
伏提曼德 我们的挪威王兄怎么说 Say, Voltimand, what from our brother Norway?
他叫我们向陛下转达他的友好的问候 Most fair return of greetings and desires.
他听到了我们的要求 就立刻传谕他的侄儿停止征兵 Upon our first, he sent out to suppress his nephew's levies,
本来他以为这种举动是准备对付波兰人的 which to him appear'd to be apreparation 'gainst the Polack,
可是一经调查 才知道它的对象原来是陛下 but, better look'd into, he truly found it was against your highness,
他知道此事以后 痛心自己因为年老多病 受人欺罔 whereat griev'd, that so his sickness, age, and impotence
震怒之下 传令把福丁布拉斯逮捕 was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests on Fortinbras,
福丁布拉斯并未反抗 受到了挪威王一番申斥 which he, in brief, obeys, receives rebuke from Norway
最后就在他的叔父面前立誓决不兴兵侵犯陛下 and, in fine, makes vow before his uncle
最后就在他的叔父面前立誓决不兴兵侵犯陛下 never more to give th' as say of arms against your majesty.
老王看见他诚心悔过 非常欢喜 whereon old Norway, overcome with joy,
当下就给他三千克朗的年俸 gives him three thous and crowns in annual fee,
并且委任他统率他所征募的那些兵士 and his commission to employ those soldiers, so levied as before,
去向波兰人征伐 同时他叫我把这封信呈上陛下 against the Polack with an entreaty, herein further shown,
请求陛下允许他的军队借道通过陛下的领土 that it might please you to give quiet pass through your dominions
他已经在信里提出若干条件 保证决不扰乱地方的安宁 for this enterprise, on such regards of safety and all owance
-保证决不扰乱地方的安宁 -这样很好 - as therein are set down. - It likes us well,
等我们有空的时候 and at our more consider'd time we'll read, answer,
还要仔细考虑一下 然后答复 and think upon this business.
你们远道跋涉 不辱使命 很是劳苦了 Meantime we thank you for your well-took labour go to your rest.
先去休息 今晚我们还要在一起欢宴 欢迎你们回来 At night we'll feast together most welcome home!
这件事情总算圆满结束了 This business is well ended.
王上 娘娘 My liege, and madam,
要是我向你们长篇大论地解释君上的尊严 to expostulate what majesty should be,
臣下的名分 白昼何以为白昼 黑夜何以为黑夜 what duty is, why day is day, night night,
时间何以为时间 那不过徒然浪费了昼 夜 时间 and time is time, were nothing but to waste night, day, and time.
所以 既然简洁是智慧的灵魂 Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
冗长是肤浅的藻饰 我还是把话说得简单一些吧 and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
你们的那位殿下是疯了 我说他疯了 Your noble son is mad mad call I it,
因为假如再说明什么才是真疯 那就只有发疯 for to define true madness, what is't but
此外还有什么可说的呢 to be nothing else but mad?
-可是那也不用说了 -多谈些实际 少弄些玄虚 - but let that go. - more matter, with less art.
娘娘 我发誓我一点不弄玄虚 Madam, I swear I use no art at all.
他疯了 这是真的 That he is mad, 'tis true
惟其是真的 所以才可叹 它的可叹也是真的 tis true 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true
蠢话少说 因为我不愿弄玄虚 a foolish figure, but farewel lit, for I will use no art.
好 让我们同意他已经疯了 Mad let us grant him then
现在我们就应该求出这一个结果的原因 and now remains that we find out the cause of this effect,
或者不如说 这一种病态的原因 or rather say, the cause of this defect,
因为这个病态的结果不是无因而至的 for this effect defective comes by cause
这就是我们现在要做的一步工作 我们来想一想吧 thus it remains, and there mainder thus. Perpend.
奥菲利娅 Ophelia!
我有个女儿 当她还是我女儿时 她是属于我的 I have a daughter, have whilst she is mine,
难得她一片孝心 把这封信给了我 who, in her duty and obedience, mark, hath given me this.
现在请猜一猜这里面说些什么话 Now gather, and surmise.
"给 'To...
那 the...
天仙化人的 我的灵魂的偶像 celestial, and my soul's idol,
最艳丽的奥菲利娅" the most beautified Ophelia,'
这是一个粗俗的说法 下流的说法 That's an ill phrase, a vile phrase,
"艳丽"两字用得非常下流 'beautified' is a vile phrase,
可是你们听下去吧 but you shall hear.
"让 These
这几行诗句留下在 'In... her...
她的皎洁的 excellent... white... bosom,
胸中" these...'
这是哈姆莱特写给她的吗 Came this from Hamlet to her?
好娘娘 等一等 我要老老实实地照原文念 Good madam, stay awhile, I will be faithful.
"你可以疑心星星是火把 你可以疑心太阳会移转 Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move,
你可以疑心真理是谎话 可是我的爱永没有改变 doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love.'
亲爱的奥菲利娅啊 我不善诗词 O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers,
也无法用它来表达我内心之苦楚 I have not art to reckon my groans
但我爱你之甚 but that I love thee best,
可是相信我 最好的人儿啊 我最爱的是你 O most best, believe it.
再会 Adieu.
最亲爱的小姐 Thine evermore.
只要我一息尚存 我就永远是你的 哈姆莱特" Most dear lady, whilst this machine is to him, Hamlet.'
这一封信是我的女儿出于孝顺之心拿来给我看的 This, in obedience, hath my daughter show'd me,
此外 她又把他一次次求爱的情形 and more above, hath his solicitings,
在什么时候 用什么方法 在什么所在 as they fell out by time, by means, and place,
全都讲给我听了 all given to mine ear.
可是她对于他的爱情抱着怎样的态度呢 But how hath she receiv'd his love?
-陛下以为我是怎样的一个人 -一个忠心正直的人 - What Do you think of me? - As of a man faithful And honourable.
但愿我能够证明自己是这样一个人 I would fain prove so.
可是假如我看见这场热烈的恋爱正在进行 But what might you think, when I had seen this hot love on the wing,
早就看出来了 不瞒陛下说 as I perceiv'd it, I must tell you that,
我在我的女儿没有告诉我以前 before my daughter told me,
假如我知道有了这么一回事 却在暗中玉成他们的好事 what might you, or my dear majesty your queen here, think,
或者故意视若无睹 假作痴聋 一切不闻不问 if I had play'd the desk or table-book, or given my heart a winking,
那时候陛下的心里觉得怎样 我的好娘娘 mute and dumb, or look'd upon this love with idle sight,
您这位王后陛下的心里又觉得怎样 what might you think?
不 我一点儿也不敢懈怠我的责任 No, I went round to work, and my
立刻就对我那位小姐说 young mistress thus I did bespeak
"哈姆莱特殿下是一位王子 不是你可以仰望的 Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star, this must not be'
于是我把她教训一番 叫她深居简出 and then I precepts gave her,
这种事情不能让它继续下去" that she should lock herself from his resort,
不要接纳他的来使 也不要收受他的礼物 admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
她听了这番话 就照着我的意思实行起来 Which done, she took the fruits of my advice,
说来话短 他遭到拒绝以后 心里就郁郁不快 and he, repulsed, a short tale to make, fell into a sadness,
于是饭也吃不下了 觉也睡不着了 then into a fast, thence to a watch,
他的身体一天憔悴一天 thence into a weakness,
他的精神一天恍惚一天 这样一步步发展下去 thence to a lightness. And, by this declension,
就变成现在他这一种为我们大家所悲痛的疯狂 into the madness wherein now he raves, and all we wail for.
-你想是这个原因吗 -这是很可能的 - Do you think 'tis this? - It may be, very like.
我倒很想知道知道 Hath there been such a time, I'd fain know that...
哪一次我曾经肯定地说过了"这件事情是这样的" that I have positively said 'Tis so,'
-而结果却并不这样 -照我所知道的,那倒没有 - when it prov'd other wise? - Not that I know.
要是我说错了话 把这个东西从这个上面拿下来吧 Take this from this, if this be other wise
只要有线索可寻 我总会找出事实的真相 if circum stances lead me, I will find where truth is hid,
即使那真相一直藏在地球的中心 though it were hid indeed within the centre.
我们怎么可以进一步试验试验 How may we try it further?
您知道 有时候他会接连几个钟头在这儿踱来踱去 You know sometimes he walks four hours together here in the lobby.
他真的常常这样踱来踱去 So he does indeed.
乘他踱来踱去的时候 我就让我的女儿去见他 At such a time I'll loose my daughter to him
你我可以躲在帏幕后面注视他们相会的情形 be you and I behind an arras then, mark the encounter
要是他不爱她 他的理智不是因为恋爱而丧失 if he love her not, and he not from his reason fall'n there on
那么不要叫我襄理国家的政务 let me be no assistant for a state,
让我去做个耕田赶牲口的农夫吧 but keep a farm and carters.
-我们要试一试 -可是瞧 - we will try it. - but look
这可怜的孩子忧忧愁愁地念着一本书来了 where sadly the poor wretch comes reading.
请陛下和娘娘避一避 让我走上去招呼他 Away, I do be seech you, both away I'll board him presently.
啊 恕我冒昧 O, give me leave.
您好 哈姆莱特殿下 How does my good Lord Hamlet?
呃 上帝怜悯世人 Well, God a-mercy.
您认识我吗 殿下 Do you know me, my lord?
认识认识 你是一个卖鱼的贩子 Excellent well, you're a fishmonger.
我不是 殿下 Not I, My lord.
那么我但愿你是一个和鱼贩子一样的老实人 Then I would you were so honest a man.
-老实 殿下 -嗯 先生 在这世上 - Honest, my lord! - Ay, sir, to be honest, as this world goes,
一万个人中间只不过有一个老实人 is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.
这句话说得很对 殿下 That's very true, my lord.
要是太阳能在一条死狗尸体上孵育蛆虫 For if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog,
因为它是一块可亲吻的臭肉... being a god kissing carrion...
-你有一个女儿吗 我有 殿下 - Have you a daughter? - I Have, My lord.
不要让她在太阳光底下行走 肚子里有学问是幸福 Let her not walk i' the sun conception is a blessing,
但不是像你女儿肚子里会有的那种学问 朋友 but not as your daughter may conceive. Friend,
留心哪 look to it.
你们瞧 他念念不忘地提我的女儿 How say you by that? Still harping on my daughter
可是最初他不认识我 他说我是一个卖鱼的贩子 Yet he knew me not at first, he said I was a fishmonger.
他的疯病已经很深了 很深了 Is far gone, far gone
说句实话 我年轻的时候 为了恋爱也曾大发其疯 and truly in my youth I suffered much extremity for love,
那样子也跟他差不多哩 让我再去对他说话 very near this. I'll speak to him again.
您在读些什么 殿下 -是些空话 - What Do you read, My lord? - Words.
空话 Words.
空话 Words!
-讲的是什么事 殿下 -谁同谁的什么事 - What is the matter, My lord? - Between who?
我是说您读的书里讲到些什么事 殿下 I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
一派诽谤 先生 Slanders, sir
这个专爱把人讥笑的坏蛋在这儿说着 for the satirical rogue says here that
老年人长着灰白的胡须 old men have grey beards,
他们的脸上满是皱纹 that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes
他们的眼睛里粘满了眼屎 purging thick amber and plum-tree gum,
他们的头脑是空空洞洞的 他们的两腿是摇摇摆摆的 and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams
这些话 先生 虽然我十分相信 all which, sir, though I most powerfully
可是照这样写在书上 and potently believe, yet I hold it
总有些有伤厚道 因为就是拿您先生自己来说 not honesty to have it thus set down, for you yourself, sir,
要是您能够像一只蟹一样向后倒退 shall grow old as I am, if, like a crab,
那么您也应该跟我一样年轻了 you could go backward.
这些虽然是疯话 却有深意在内 Though this be madness, yet there is a method in't.
您要走进里边去吗 殿下 别让风吹着 Will you walk out of the air, my lord?
-走进我的坟墓里去 -那倒真是风吹不着的地方 - Into my grave? - Indeed, that is out o' the air.
他的回答有时候是多么深刻 How pregnant sometimes his replies are!
疯狂的人往往能够说出 A happiness that often madness hits on,
理智清明的人所说不出来的话 which reason and sanity could not so prosperously be delivered of.
我要离开他 立刻就去 I will leave him and suddenly contrive the means
想法让他跟我的女儿见面 of meeting between him and my daughter.
殿下 My lord?
殿下 我要向您告别了 My lord, I will take my leave of you.
凡是我不愿意舍弃的东西 先生 You cannot, sir, take from me anything
你都无法从我这里带走 I would more willingly part withal,
但愿我也能够向我的生命告别 except my life.
但愿我也能够向我的生命告别... Except my life...
-但愿我也能够向我的生命告别 -再会 殿下 - Except My life. - Fare you well, My lord.
这些讨厌的老傻瓜 These tedious old fools!
我的尊贵的殿下 My honoured lord!
你们要找哈姆莱特殿下 那儿就是 You go to seek the Lord Hamlet? There he is.
我的尊贵的殿下 My honoured lord!
-我的最亲爱的殿下 -我的好朋友们 - My most dear lord! - My excellent good friends!
你好 吉尔登斯吞 啊 罗森格兰茨 How dost thou, Guildenstern? Ah, Rosencrantz!
好孩子们 你们两人都好 good lads, How Do ye both?
不过像一般庸庸碌碌之辈 在这世上虚度时光而已 As the indifferent children of the earth.
无荣无辱便是我们的幸福 Happy in that we are not over-happy,
我们高不到命运女神帽子上的钮扣 on fortune's cap we are not the very button.
-也低不到她的鞋底吗 -正是 殿下 - Nor the soles of her shoe? - Neither, My lord.
那么你们是在她的腰上 或是在她的怀抱之中吗 Then you live about her waist, or in the middle of her favours?
说老实话 我们是在她的私处 Faith, her privates we.
在命运身上秘密的那部分吗 In the secret parts of fortune?
啊 对了 O, most true,
她本来是一个娼妓 你们听到什么消息没有 she is a strumpet. What's the news?
没有 殿下 我们只知道这世界变得老实起来了 None, my lord, but that the world's grown honest.
那么世界末日快到了 可是你们的消息是假的 Then is dooms day near, but your news is not true.
让我再仔细问问你们 Let me question more in particular
我的好朋友们 你们在命运手里犯了什么案子 what have you, my good friends, deserved at the hands of fortune
-她把你们送到这儿牢狱里来了 -牢狱 殿下 - that she sends you to prison hither? - Prison, my lord!
-丹麦是一所牢狱 -那么世界也是一所牢狱 - Denmark's a prison. - Then is the world one.
一所很大的牢狱 里面有许多监房 囚室 地牢 A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards, and dungeons,
-丹麦是其中最坏的一间 -我们倒不这样想 殿下 - Denmark being one o' the worst. - We think not so, my lord.
啊 那么对于你们它并不是牢狱 Why, then 'tis none to you,
因为世上的事情本来没有善恶 for there is nothing either good or bad
都是各人的思想把它们分别出来的 but thinking makes it so
对于我它是一所牢狱 to me it is a prison.
啊 那是因为您的雄心太大 丹麦是个狭小的地方 Why, then, your ambition makes it one,
不够给您发展 所以您把它看成一所牢狱啦 'tis too narrow for your mind.
上帝啊 倘不是因为我总作恶梦 O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell,
那么即使把我关在一个果壳里 and count myself a king of infinite space,
我也会把自己当作一个拥有着无限空间的君王的 were it not that I have bad dreams.
那种恶梦便是您的野心 Which dreams, indeed, are ambition,
因为野心家本身的存在 也不过是一个梦的影子 for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
一个梦的本身便是一个影子 A dream itself is but a shadow.
不错 因为野心是那么空虚轻浮的东西 Truly, and I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality
所以我认为它不过是影子的影子 that it is but a shadow's shadow. Then are our beggars bodies,
那么我们的乞丐是实体 and our monarchs and out
我们的帝王和大言不惭的英雄 却是乞丐的影子了 stretch'd heroes the beggars' shadows.
我们进宫去好不好 因为我实在不能陪着你们谈玄说理 Shall we to the court? For, by my fay, I cannot reason.
-我们愿意侍候殿下 -没有的事 - We'll wait upon you. - No such matter
我不愿把你们当作我的仆人一样看待 I will not sort you with the rest of my servants, for...
老实对你们说吧 在我旁边侍候我的人全很不成样子 to speak to you like an honest man, I am most dreadfully attended.
可是 凭着我们多年的交情 老实告诉我 But, in the beaten way of friendship,
你们到艾尔西诺来有什么贵干 what make you at Elsinore?
我们是来拜访您来的 殿下 没有别的原因 To visit you, my lord, no other occasion.
像我这样一个叫化子 我的感谢也是不值钱的 Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks,
可是我谢谢你们 but I thank you
我想 亲爱的朋友们 and sure, dear friends,
你们专诚而来 只换到我的一声不值半文钱的感谢 my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.
未免太不值得了 不是有人叫你们来的吗 Were you not sent for? Is it your own inclining?
然是你们自己的意思吗 真的是自动的访问吗 Is it a free visitation? Come, deal justly with me.
来 不要骗我 来 来 快说 Come, Come Nay, speak.
叫我们说些什么话呢 殿下 What should we say, My lord?
无论什么话都行 只要不是废话 你们是奉命而来的 Why, anything but to the purpose. You were sent for,
瞧你们掩饰不了你们良心上的惭愧 and there is a kind of confession in your looks,
已经从你们的脸色上招认出来了 which your modesties have not craft enough to colour I know
我知道是我们这位好国王和好王后叫你们来的 the good king and queen have sent for you.
-那可要请你们指教我了 -为了什么目的呢 殿下 - to What end, My lord? - that you must teach me.
请求您殿下 But let me conjure you,
凭着我们朋友间的道义 by the rights of our fellowship,
凭我们的交情 by the consonancy of our youth,
凭着我们少年时候亲密的情谊 by the obligation of our ever-preserved love,
凭着我们始终不渝的友好的精神 and by what more dear
凭着比我口才好的人所能提的其他一切更有力量的理由 a better proposer could charge you withal,
让我要求你们开诚布公 be even and direct with me,
告诉我究竟你们是不是奉命而来的 whether you were sent for or no.
-你怎么说 -好 那么我看透你们的行动了 - What say you? - Nay, Then, I Have an eye of you.
要是你们爱我 别再抵赖了吧 If you love me, hold not off.
殿下 我们是奉命而来的 My lord, we were sent for.
让我代你们说明来意 I will tell you why,
免得你们泄漏了自己的秘密 so shall my anticipation prevent your discovery,
有负国王 王后的付托 and your secrecy to the king and queen moult no feather.
我近来不知为了什么缘故 I have of late, but wherefore I know not,
一点兴致都提不起来 lost all my mirth,
什么游乐的事都懒得过问 forgone all custom of exercises, and indeed,
在这一种抑郁的心境之下 仿佛负载万物的大地 it goes so heavily with my disposition that this...
这一座美好的框架 goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory.
只是一个不毛的荒岬 This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this...
这个覆盖众生的苍穹 brave o'erhanging firmament, this...
这一顶壮丽的帐幕 majestical roof fretted with golden fire,
这个金黄色的火球点缀着的庄严的屋宇 why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul
只是一大堆污浊的瘴气的集合 and pestilent congregation of vapours.
人类是一件多么了不得的杰作 What a piece of work is man!
多么高贵的理性 多么伟大的力量 How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties!
多么优美的仪表 多么文雅的举动 In form and moving, how express and admirable!
在行为上多么像一个天使 In action how like an angel,
在智慧上多么像一个天神 in apprehension, how like a god!
宇宙的精华 万物的灵长 The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!
可是 And yet, to me,
在我看来 what is this...
这一个泥土塑成的生命算得了什么 quintessence of dust?
人类 Man
不能使我发生兴趣 delights not me.
不 女人也不能使我发生兴趣 No, nor woman neither,
虽然从你现在的微笑之中 我可以看到你在这样想 though by your smiling you seem to say so.
殿下 我心里并没有这样的思想 My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts.
那么当我说"人类不能使我发生兴趣"的时候 Why did you laugh then, when I said
你为什么笑起来 'Man delights not me'?
我想 殿下 要是人类不能使您发生兴趣 To think, my lord, if you delight not in man,
那么那班戏子们恐怕要来自讨一场没趣了 what lenten entertainment the players shall receive from you.
我们在路上赶过了他们 We coted them on the way,
他们是要到这儿来向您献技的 and hither are they coming to offer you service.
扮演国王的那个人将要得到我的欢迎 He that plays the king shall be welcome,
要在他的御座之前致献我的敬礼 his majesty shall have tribute of me.
冒险的骑士可以挥舞他的剑盾 The adventurous knight shall use his foil and target,
情人的叹息不会没有酬报 the lover shall not sigh gratis,
躁急易怒的角色可以平安下场 the humorous man shall end his part in peace.
小丑将要使那班善笑的观众捧腹 The clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' the sere
我们的女主角可以坦白诉说她的心事 and the lady shall speak her mind freely,
无韵诗会停止 他们是一班什么戏子 or the blank verse shall halt for't. What players are they?
就是您向来所欢喜的那一个班子 Even those you were wont to take such delight in,
-在城里专演悲剧的 -他们怎么走起江湖来了呢 - the tragedians of the city. - How chances It they travel?
固定在一个地方演戏 在名誉和进益上都要好得多哩 Their residence, both in reputation and profit, was better both ways.
我想他们不能在一个地方立足 是为了时势的变化 I think their inhibition comes by the means of the late innovation.
他们的名誉还是跟我在城里那时候一样吗 Do they hold the same estimation they did when I was in the city?
他们的观众还是那么多吗 Are they so followed?
不 他们现在已经大非昔比了 No, Indeed, are they not.
怎么会这样的 他们的演技退步了吗 How comes it? Do they grow rusty?
不 他们还是跟从前一样努力 Nay, their end eavour keeps in the wonted pace
可是 殿下 but there is, sir,
他们的地位已经被一群羽毛未丰的黄口小儿占夺了去 an aery of children, little eyases,
这些娃娃们的嘶叫 that cry out on the top of question,
博得了台下疯狂的喝采 and are most tyrannically clapped for't
他们是目前流行的宠儿 these are now the fashion,
他们的声势压倒了所谓普通的戏班 and so be rattle the common stages,
以至于许多腰佩长剑的上流顾客 so they call them,
都因为惧怕批评家鹅毛管的威力 that many wearing rapiers are afraid of goose quills
而不敢到那边去 and dare scarce come thither.
什么 是一些童伶吗 谁维持他们的生活 What, are they children? Who maintains 'em? How are they escoted?
谁维持他们的生活 他们的薪工是怎么计算的 Will they pursue the quality no longer than they can sing?
他们一到不能唱歌的年龄 Will they not say after wards,
就不再继续他们的本行了吗 if they should grow themselves to common players,
要是他们赚不了多少钱 as it is most like,
长大起来多半还是要做普通戏子的 if their means are no better,
那时候难道他们不会抱怨写戏词的人把他们害了 their writers do them wrong to make them
因为原先叫他们挖苦备至的不正是他们自己的未来前途吗 exclaim against their own succession?
因真的 两方面闹过不少的纠纷 Faith, there has been much to do on both sides
全国的人都站在旁边恬不为意地吶喊助威 and the nation holds it no sinto
怂恿他们互相争斗 tarre them to controversy
曾经有一个时期 there was, for awhile,
一个脚本非得插进一段编剧家和演员争吵的对话 no money bid for argument
不然是没有人愿意出钱购买的 unless the poet and the player went to cuffs in the question.
有这等事 Is't possible?
是啊 在那场交锋里 许多人都投入了大量心血 O, there has been much throwing about of brains.
结果是娃娃们打赢了吗 Do the boys carry it away?
正是 殿下 Ay, that they do,
连赫剌克勒斯和他背负的地球都成了他们的战利品 my lord, Hercules and his load too.
那也没有什么希奇 我的叔父是丹麦的国王 It is not very strange, for my uncle is king of Denmark,
那些当我父亲在世的时候对他扮鬼脸的人 and those that would make mouths at him while my father lived,
现在都愿意拿出二十 四十 五十 give twenty, forty, fifty,
一百块金洋来买他的一幅小照 a hundred ducats a-piece for his picture in little.
哼 这里面有些不是常理可解的地方 Sblood, there is something in this more than natural,
要是哲学能够把它推究出来的话 if philosophy could find it out.
这班戏子们来了 There are the players.
两位先生 欢迎你们到艾尔西诺来 把你们的手给我 Gentlemen, you are welcome to Elsinore. Your hands, come
欢迎总要讲究这些礼节 俗套 the appurtenance of welcome is fashion and ceremony.
让我不要对你们失礼 因为这些戏子们来了以后 Let me comply with you in this garb, lest my extent to the players,
我不能不敷衍他们一番 也许你们见了会发生误会 which I tell you must show fairly outward,
以为我招待你们还不及招待他们殷勤 我欢迎你们 should more appear like entertainment than yours.
可是我的叔父父亲和婶母母亲可弄错啦 But my uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived.
弄错了什么 我的好殿下 In what, my dear lord?
天上刮着西北风 我才发疯 I am but mad north-north-west
风从南方吹来的时候 我不会把一只鹰当作了一只鹭鸶 when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw.
-祝福你们 两位先生 -听着 吉尔登斯吞 - Well be with you, gentlemen! - Hark you, Guildenstern,
你也听着 一只耳朵边有一个人听 and you too, at each ear a hearer
你们看见的那个大孩子 that great baby you see there is
还在襁褓之中 没有学会走路哩 not yet out of his swaddling clouts.
也许他是第二次裹在襁褓里 Happily he's the second time come to them,
因为人家说 一个老年人是第二次做婴孩 for they say an old man is twice a child.
我可以预言他是来报告我戏子们来到的消息的 I will prophesy he comes to tell me of the players,
听好 你说得不错 在星期一早上 正是正是 mark it. You say right, sir o'Monday morning, 't was so indeed.
殿下 我有消息要来向您报告 My lord, I Have news to tell you.
大人 我也有消息要向您报告 My lord, I Have news to tell you.
当罗歇斯在罗马演戏的时候 When Roscius was an actor in Rome...
-那班戏子们已经到这儿来了 殿下 -嗤 嗤 - The actors are come hither, my lord. - Buzz, buzz!
凭着我的名誉起誓 Upon my honour,
那时每一个伶人都骑着驴子而来 Then came each actor on his ass,
他们是全世界最好的伶人 The best actors in the world,
无论悲剧 喜剧 历史剧 田园剧 either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral,
田园喜剧 田园史剧 历史悲剧 历史田园悲喜剧 pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical,
正宗戏或是新派戏 tragical-comical-historical-pastoral,
他们无不拿手 scene individable,
塞内加的悲剧不嫌其太沉重 or poem unlimited Seneca cannot be too heavy
普鲁图斯的喜剧不嫌其太轻浮 nor Plautus too light.
无论在演出规律的或是自由的剧本方面 For the law of writ and the liberty,
他们都是唯一的演员 these are the only men.
以色列的士师耶弗他啊 你有一件怎样的宝贝 O Jephthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou!
他有什么宝贝 殿下 What treasure had he, my lord?
他有一个独生娇女 爱她胜过掌上明珠 Why 'One fair daughter, and no more, the which he loved passing well.'
-还在提我的女儿 -我念得对不对 耶弗他老头儿 - 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,
那么我有一个爱如掌珠的娇女 I have a daughter that I love passing well.
不 下面不是这样的 Nay, that follows not.
那么应当是怎样的呢 殿下 What follows, then, My lord?
上天不佑 劫数临头 下面你知道还有 Why 'As by lot, Godwot,' and then, you know,
偏偏凑巧 谁也难保" It came to pass, as most like it was...'
要知道全文 请查这支圣歌的第一节, The first row of the pious chanson will show you more,
因为 你瞧 有人来把我的话头打断了 for look where my abridgment comes.
欢迎 各位朋友 欢迎欢迎 You are welcome, masters! Welcome all.
我很高兴看见你这样健康 欢迎 列位 I am glad to see thee well. Welcome, good friends.
啊 我的老朋友 O, my old friend!
你的脸上比我上次看见你的时候 多长了几根胡子 Thy face isvalanc'd since I saw thee last,
格外显得威武啦 你是要到丹麦来向我挑战吗 comest thou to beard me in Denmark?
啊 我的年轻的姑娘 凭着圣母起誓 What, my young lady and mistress! By'r lady,
您穿上了一双高底木靴 your ladyship is nearer to heaven
比我上次看见您的时候更苗条得多啦 than when I saw you last,
求求上帝 但愿您的喉咙 by the altitude of achopine. Pray God, your voice,
不要沙嗄得像一面破碎的铜锣才好 like a piece of uncurrent gold, be not cracked within the ring.
各位朋友 欢迎欢迎 我们要像法国的鹰师一样 Masters, you are all welcome. We'lle'en to't like French falconers,
不管看见什么就撒出鹰去 fly at anything we see we'll
让我们立刻就来念一段剧词 来 have a speech straight. Come,
试一试你们的本领 来一段激昂慷慨的剧词 give us a taste of your quality. Come, a passionate speech.
殿下要听的是哪一段 What speech, my good lord?
我曾经听见你向我背诵过一段台词 I heard thee speak me a speech once,
可是它从来没有上演过 but it was never acted.
即使有 也不会有一次以上 Or if it was, not above once, for the play,
因为我记得这本戏并不受大众的欢迎 I remember, pleased not the million,
它是不合一般人口味的鱼子酱 可是照我的意思看来 twas caviar to the general, butit was, as I received it, and others,
还有其他在这方面比我更有权威的人也抱着同样的见解 whose judgments in such matters cried in the top of mine,
它是一本绝妙的戏剧 an excellent play,
场面支配得很是适当 文字质朴而富于技巧 well digested in the scenes, set down with as much modesty as cunning.
我记得有人这样说过 I remember, one said there were no sallets in the lines
那出戏里没有滥加提味的作料 to make the matter savoury,or no matter in the phrase
字里行间毫无矫揉造作的痕迹 which might indite the author of affectation,
他把它称为一种老老实实的写法 but called it an honest method, as whole some as sweet,
兼有刚健与柔和之美 壮丽而不流于纤巧 and by very much more handsome than fine.
其中有一段话是我最喜爱的 One speech in it I chiefly loved
那就是埃涅阿斯对狄多讲述的故事 't was Aeneas' tale to Dido,
尤其是讲到普里阿摩斯被杀的那一节 and thereabout of it especially, where he speaks of Priam's slaughter
要是你们还没有把它忘记 请从这一行念起 if it live in your memory, begin at this line,
让我想想 让我想想 let me see, let me see
野蛮的皮洛斯像猛虎一样 不 不是这样 The rugged Pyrrhus, like th'Hyrcanian beast, it is not so...
但是的确是从皮洛斯开始的 It begins with Pyrrhus.
野蛮的皮洛斯蹲伏在木马之中 The rugged Pyrrhus, he whose sable arms,
黝黑的手臂和他的决心一样 black as his purpose, did the night resemble
像黑夜一般阴森而恐怖 when he lay couched in the ominous horse,
在这黑暗狰狞的肌肤之上 hath now this dread and black complexion smear'd
现在更染上令人惊怖的纹章 with heraldry more dismal,
从头到脚 他全身一片殷红 head to foot now is be total gules,
溅满了父母子女们无辜的血 horridly trick'd with blood of fathers, mothers, daughters, sons,
那些燃烧着熊熊烈火的街道 bak'd and impasted with the parching streets, that lend
发出残忍而惨恶的凶光 照亮敌人去肆行他们的杀戮 a tyrannous and a damned light to their vile murders
也焙干了到处横流的血泊 冒着火焰的熏炙 roasted in wrath and fire,
像恶魔一般,全身胶黏着凝结的血块 and thus o'ersized with coagulate gore,
圆睁着两颗血红的眼睛 with eyes like carbuncles, the hellish Pyrrhus
来往寻找普里阿摩斯老王的踪迹 old grandsire Priam seeks.'
你接下去吧 So, proceed you.
上帝在上 殿下 您念得好极了 Fore God, my lord, well spoken,
真是抑扬顿挫 曲尽其妙 with good accent and good discretion.
那老王正在苦战 Anon he finds him,
但是砍不着和他对敌的希腊人 striking too short at Greeks
一点不听他手臂的指挥 his antique sword, rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls,
他的古老的剑锵然落地 repugnant to command
皮洛斯瞧他孤弱可欺 疯狂似的向他猛力攻击 unequal match'd, Pyrrhus at Priam drives,
凶恶的利刃虽然没有击中 in rage strikes wide,
一阵风却把那衰弱的老王搧倒 but with the whiff and wind of his fell sword
这一下打击有如天崩地裂 惊动了没有感觉的伊利恩 the unnerved father falls.Then senseless Ilium,
冒着火焰的城楼霎时坍下 seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top
那轰然的巨响像一个霹雳 stoops to his base,
震聋了皮洛斯的耳朵 and with a hideous crash takes prisoner Pyrrhus' ear.
瞧 他的剑还没砍下 For lo! his sword, which was declining
普里阿摩斯白发的头颅 on the milky head of reverend Priam,
却已在空中停住 seem'd i' the air to stick so,
像一个涂朱抹彩的暴君 as a painted tyrant, Pyrrhus stood,
对自己的行为漠不关心 他兀立不动 and, like a neutral to his will and matter, did nothing.
在一场暴风雨未来以前 But as we often see, against some storm,
天上往往有片刻的宁寂 a silence in the heavens,
一块块乌云静悬在空中 the rackst and still,
狂风悄悄地收起它的声息 the bold winds speechless,
死样的沉默笼罩整个大地 and the orb below as hush as death,
可是就在这片刻之内 可怕的雷鸣震裂了天空 anon the dreadful thunder doth rend the region,
经过暂时的休止 杀人的暴念重新激起了皮洛斯的精神 so, after Pyrrhus' pause, a roused vengeance sets him new a-work,
库克罗普斯为战神铸造甲胄 and never did the Cyclops'hammers fall on Mars's armour
那巨力的锤击 还不及皮洛斯 forg'd for proofeterne, with less remorse
流血的剑向普里阿摩斯身上劈下那样凶狠无情 than Pyrrhus' bleeding sword now falls on Priam.
去 去 你娼妇一样的命运 Out, out, thou strumpet, Fortune!
天上的诸神啊 剥去她的权力 All you gods, in general synod, take away her power,
不要让她僭窃神明的宝座 拆毁她的车轮 break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel,
把它滚下神山 直到地狱的深渊 and bowl the round nave down the hill of heaven,
-直到地狱的深渊 -这一段太长啦 - as low as to the fiends!' - This is too long.
它应当跟你的胡子一起到理发匠那儿去理一理 It shall to the barber's, with your beard.
念下去吧 他只爱听俚俗的歌曲 Pr'ythee say on. He's for a jig
和淫秽的故事 否则他就要瞌睡的 or a tale of bawdry, or he sleeps.
念下去 Say on,
-下面要讲到赫卡柏了 -可是啊 谁 谁 - come to Hecuba. - 'But who, o who,
-看见那蒙脸的王后 -"那蒙脸的王后" - had seen the mobled queen... - 'The mobled queen'?
那很好 "蒙脸的王后"是很好的句子 That's good! 'Mobled queen' is good.
满面流泪 在火焰中赤脚奔走 Run barefoot up and down, threatening the flames with bisson rheum,
一块布覆在失去宝冕的头上 a clout upon that head where late the diadem stood,
也没有一件蔽体的衣服 and for a robe, about herlank and all o'erteemed loins,
只有在惊煌中抓到的一幅毡巾 a blanket, in the alarm of fear caught up,
裹住她瘦削而多产的腰身 who this had seen, with tongue in venom steep'd,
谁见了这样伤心惨目的景象 gainst Fortune's state would treason have pronounc'd
不要向残酷的命运申申毒詈 but if the gods themselves did see her then,
她看见皮洛斯以杀人为戏 when she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport
正在把她丈夫的肢体脔割 in mincing with his sword
忍不住大放哀声 那凄凉的号叫 her husband's limbs, the instant burst of clamour that she made,
除非人间的哀乐不能感动天庭 unless things mortal move them not at all,
即使天上的星星也会陪她流泪 would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven,
假使那时诸神曾在场目击 他们的心中都要充满悲愤 and passion in the gods.'
瞧 他的脸色都变了 他的眼睛里已经含着眼泪 Look, whether he has not turn'dhis colour, and has tears in's eyes.
不要念下去了吧 Pray you, no more!
很好 其余的部分等会儿再念给我听吧 Tis well. I'll have thee speak out the rest of this soon.
大人 请您去找一处好好的地方安顿这一班伶人 Good my lord, will you see the players well be stowed?
听着 他们是不可怠慢的 Do you hear? Let them be well used,
因为他们是这一个时代的缩影 for they are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time,
宁可在死后得到一首恶劣的墓铭 after your death you were better have a bad epitaph
不要在生前受他们一场刻毒的讥讽 than their ill report while you live.
殿下 我按着他们应得的名分对待他们就是了 My lord, I will use them according to their desert.
嗳哟 朋友 还要客气得多哩 God's bodikins, man, better!
要是照每一个人应得的名分对待他 Use every man after his desert,
那么谁逃得了一顿鞭子 and who should scape whipping?
照你自己的名誉地位对待他们 Use them after your own honour and dignity
他们越是不配受这样的待遇 越可以显出你的谦虚有礼 the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.
-领他们进去 -来 各位朋友 - Take them in. - Come, sirs.
跟他去 朋友们 明天我们要听你们唱一本戏 Follow him, friends. We'll hear a play tomorrow.
听着 老朋友 你会演贡扎古之死吗 Dost thou hear me, old friend? Can you play 'The Murder of Gonzago'?
-会演的 殿下 -那么我们明天晚上就把它上演 - Ay, my lord. - We'll ha't tomorrow night.
也许我为了必要的理由 You could, for a need,
要另外写下约莫十几行句子的一段剧词插进去 study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines
你能够把它预先背熟吗 which I would set down andinsert in't? Could you not?
-可以 殿下 -很好 跟着那位老爷去 - Ay, My lord. - very well. follow that lord
留心 and look you
不要取笑他 mock him not.
我的两位好朋友 我们今天晚上再见 My good friends, I'll leave you till night
欢迎你们到艾尔西诺来 you are welcome to Elsinore.
-再会 殿下 -好 上帝和你们同在 - good My lord! - Ay, so. goodbye to you.
现在我只剩一个人了 Now I am alone.
啊 我是一个多么不中用的蠢才 O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!
这一个伶人不过在一本虚构的故事 Is it not monstrous that this player here,
一场激昂的幻梦之中 but in a fiction,in a dream of passion,
却能够使他的灵魂融化在他的意象里 在它的影响之下 could force his soul so to his own conceit
他的整个的脸色变成惨白 他的眼中洋溢着热泪 that from her working all his visage wan'd,
他的神情流露着仓皇 他的声音是这么呜咽凄凉 tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect, a broken voice,
他的全部动作都表现得和他的意象一致 and his whole function suiting
这不是极其不可思议的吗 with forms to his conceit?
而且一点也不为了什么 And all for nothing!
为了赫卡柏 赫卡柏对他有什么相干 For Hecuba? What's Hecubato him,
他对赫卡柏又有什么相干 or he to Hecuba,
他却要为她流泪 that he should weep for her?
要是他也有了像我所有的那样 What would he do, had he the motive
使人痛心的理由 他将要怎样呢 and the cue for passion that I have?
他一定会让眼泪淹没了舞台 He would drown the stage with tears
用可怖的字句震裂了听众的耳朵 and cleave the general ear with horrid speech,
使有罪的人发狂 使无罪的人惊骇 make mad the guilty, and appal the free,
使愚昧无知的人惊惶失措 confound the ignorant, and amaze, indeed,
使所有的耳目迷乱了它们的功能 the very faculties of eyes and ears.
可是我 一个糊涂颟顸的家伙 垂头丧气 Yet I, a dull and muddy-mettled rascal,
一天到晚像在做梦似的 忘记了杀父的大仇 peak, like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause,
虽然一个国王给人家用万恶的手段掠夺了他的权位 and can say nothing. No, not for a king
杀害了他的最宝贵的生命 upon whose property and most dear
我却始终哼不出一句话来 life a damn'd defeat was made.
我是一个懦夫吗 谁骂我恶人 Am I a coward? Who calls mevillain?
谁敲破我的脑壳 Breaks my pate across?
谁拔去我的胡子 把它吹在我的脸上 Plucks off my beard and blows it in my face?
谁扭我的鼻子 谁当面指斥我胡说 Tweaks me by the nose? Gives me the lie i' the throat
谁对我做这种事 嘿 as deep as to the lungs? Who does me this, ha?
我应该忍受 Swounds! I should take it for it
这样的侮辱 cannot be but I am pigeon-liver'd,
因为我是一个没有心肝 逆来顺受的怯汉 and lack gall to make oppression bitter, or ere this
否则我早已用这奴才的尸肉 I should have fatted all the
喂肥了满天盘旋的乌鸢了 region kites with this slave's offal,
嗜血的 荒淫的恶贼 bloody, bawdy villain!
狠心的 奸诈的 淫邪的 悖逆的恶贼 Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
啊 复仇 O, vengeance!
嗨 我真是个蠢才 Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, that I,
我的亲爱的父亲被人谋杀了 the son of a dear father murder'd,
鬼神都在鞭策我复仇 prompted to my revenge
我这做儿子的却像一个下流女人似的 by heaven and hell, must, like a whore,
只会用空言发发牢骚 unpack my heart with words
学起泼妇骂街的样子来 在我已经是了不得的了 and falla-cursing like a very drab, a scullion!
呸 呸 活动起来吧 我的脑筋 Fie upon't! Foh! About, my brain!
我听人家说 犯罪的人在看戏的时候 I have heard that guilty creatures, sitting at a play,
因为台上表演的巧妙 have by the very cunning of the scene been struck so to the soul
有时会激动天良 当场供认他们的罪恶 that presently they have proclaim'd their male factions,
因为暗杀的事情无论干得怎样秘密 for murder, though it have no tongue, will speak with most
总会借着神奇的喉舌泄露出来 我要叫这班伶人 miraculous organ, I'll have these players play
在我的叔父面前表演一本 something like the murder of
跟我的父亲的惨死情节相仿的戏剧 my father before mine uncle
我就在一旁窥察他的神色 I'll observe his looks,
我要探视到他的灵魂的深处 I'll tent him to the quick.
要是他稍露惊骇不安之态 我就知道我应该怎么办 If he but blench, I know my course.
我所看见的幽灵也许是魔鬼的化身 The spirit that I have seen may be the devil,
借着一个美好的形状出现 魔鬼是有这一种本领的 and the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape, yea,
对于柔弱忧郁的灵魂 他最容易发挥他的力量 and perhaps out of my weakness and my melancholy,
也许他看准了我的柔弱和忧郁 才来向我作祟 as he is very potent with such spirits,
要把我引诱到沉沦的路上 abuses me to damn me
我要先得到一些比这更切实的证据 I'll have grounds more relative than this.
凭着这一本戏 The play's the thing wherein I'll catch
我可以发掘国王内心的隐秘 the conscience of the king.
你们不能用迂回婉转的方法 And can you, by no drift of conference,
探出他为什么这样神魂颠倒 get from him why he puts on this confusion,
让紊乱而危险的疯狂 grating so harshly all his days of quiet
困扰他的安静的生活吗 with turbulent and dangerous lunacy?
他承认他自己有些神经迷惘 He does confess he feels himself distracted,
可是绝口不肯说为了什么缘故 but from what cause he will by no means speak.
他也不肯虚心接受我们的探问 Nor do we find him forward to be sounded,
当我们想要引导他吐露他自己的一些真相的时候 but, with a crafty madness, keeps aloof
他总是用假作痴呆的神气故意回避 when we would bring him on to some confession of his true state.
-他对待你们还客气吗 -很有礼貌 - Did he receive you well? - most like a gentleman.
可是不大自然 他很吝惜自己的话 But with much forcing of his disposition.
可是我们问他话的时候 他回答起来却是毫无拘束 Niggard of question, but, of our demands, most free in his reply.
你们有没有劝诱他找些什么消遣 Did you as say him to any pastime?
娘娘 我们来的时候 Madam, it so fell out that
刚巧有一班戏子也要到这儿来 给我们赶过了 certain players we o'er-raught on the way
我们把这消息告诉了他 of these we told him,
他听了好像很高兴 and there did seem in him a kind of joy to hear of it
现在他们已经到了宫里 they are about the court, and, as I think, they have already order
-我想他已经吩咐他们今晚为他演出了 -一点不错 - this night to play before him. - 'Tis most true,
他还叫我来请两位陛下 and he be seech'd meto entreat your majesties
同去看看他们演得怎样哩 to hear and see the matter.
-同去看看他们演得怎样哩 With all my heart!
那好极了 And it doth much content meto hear him so inclin'd.
请你们两位还要更进一步鼓起他的兴味 Good gentlemen, give him a further edge,
把他的心思移转到这种娱乐上面 and drive his purpose in to these delights.
是 陛下 We shall, my lord.
亲爱的乔特鲁德 你也暂时离开我们 Sweet Gertrude, leave us too,
因为我们已经暗中差人 for we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
去唤哈姆莱特到这儿来 that he, as 'twere by accident,
让他和奥菲利娅见见面 就像他们偶然相遇一般 may here affront Ophelia
她的父亲跟我两人将要权充一下密探 her father and myself, lawful espials,
躲在可以看见他们 却不能被他们看见的地方 will so bestow ourselves that, seeing, unseen,
我们会做正确的判断 we may of their encounter frankly judge,
注意他们会面的情形 and gather by him, as he is behav'd,
从他的行为上判断他的疯病 if't be the affliction of his loveor no
究竟是不是因为恋爱上的苦闷 that thus he suffers for.
我愿意服从您的意旨 I shall obey you.
奥菲利娅 And for your part, Ophelia, I do wish
但愿你的美貌果然是哈姆莱特疯狂的原因 that your good beauties be the happy cause of Hamlet's wildness,
更愿你的美德能够帮助他恢复原状 so shall I hope your virtues will bring him to his wonted way again,
-使你们两人都能安享尊荣 -娘娘 但愿如此 - to both your honours. - Madam, I wish It may.
奥菲利娅 你在这儿走走 Ophelia, walk you here.
陛下 我们就去躲起来吧 Gracious, so please you, we will bestow ourselves.
你拿这本书去读 Read on this book,
他看见你这样用功 that show of such an exercise may
就不会疑心你为什么一个人在这儿了 colour your loneliness.
人们往往用至诚的外表和虔敬的行动 We are oft to blame in this,'tis too much prov'd,
掩饰一颗魔鬼般的内心 that with devotion's visage and pious action
这样的例子是太多了 we do sugar o'er the Devil himself.
啊 这句话是太真实了 O, 'tis too true!
它在我的良心上抽了多么重的一鞭 How smart a lash that speech doth give my conscience!
涂脂抹粉的娼妇的脸 The harlot's cheek, beautied with plastering art,
还不及掩藏在 is not more ugly to the thing that helps it
虚伪的言辞后面的 than is my deed
我的行为更丑恶 to my most painted word.
难堪的重负啊 O heavy burden!
我听见他来了 我们退下去吧 陛下 I hear him coming let's withdraw, my lord.
生存还是毁灭 To be, or not to be,
这是一个值得考虑的问题 that is the question
默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭 whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows
或是挺身反抗人世的无涯的苦难 通过斗争把它们扫清 of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
这两种行为 哪一种更高贵 and by opposing end them?
死了 睡着了 什么都完了 To die, to sleep, no more,
要是在这一种睡眠之中 我们心头的创痛 and by a sleep to say we end the heartache,
以及其他无数血肉之躯所不能避免的打击 and the thous and natural shocks
都可以从此消失 that flesh is heir to,
那正是我们求之不得的结局 tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd.
死了 睡着了 To die, to sleep...
睡着了 To sleep!
也许还会做梦 嗯 阻碍就在这儿 Perchance to dreamay, there's the rub,
因为当我们摆脱了这具皮囊以后 在那死的睡眠里 for in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
究竟将要做些什么梦 那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑 when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause
人们甘心久困于患难之中 也就是为了这个缘故 there's the respect that makes calamity of so long life,
谁愿意忍受人世的鞭挞和讥嘲 for who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
压迫者的凌辱 傲慢者的冷眼 the oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
被轻蔑的爱情的惨痛 法律的迁延 the pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
官吏的横暴和费尽辛勤所换来的小人的鄙视 the in solence of office, and the spurns
要是他只要用一柄小小的刀子 that patient merit of the unworthy takes,
就可以清算他自己的一生 when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?
谁愿意负着这样的重担 Who would these fardels bear,
在烦劳的生命的压迫下呻吟流汗 to grunt and sweat under a weary life,
倘不是因为惧怕 but that the dread
不可知的死后 of something after death...
惧怕那从来不曾有一个旅人回来过的神秘之国 The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn no traveller returns,
是它迷惑了我们的意志 puzzles the will,
使我们宁愿忍受目前的磨折 and makes us rather bear those ills we have
不敢向我们所不知道的痛苦飞去 than fly to others that we know not of?
这样 重重的顾虑使我们全变成了懦夫 Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all, and thus
决心的赤热的光彩 the native hue of resolution
被审慎的思维盖上了一层灰色 is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
伟大的事业在这一种考虑之下 and enterprises of great pithand moment, with this regard,
也会逆流而退 their currents turn awry,
失去了 and lose the name
行动的意义 of action.
且慢 美丽的奥菲利娅 Soft you now! The fair Ophelia!
女神 Nymph...
在你的祈祷之中 in thy orisons
不要忘记替我忏悔我的罪孽 be all my sins remember'd.
我的好殿下 您这许多天来贵体安好吗 Good my lord, how does your honour for this many a day?
谢谢你 I humbly thank you.
很好 Well,
很好 well,
很好 well.
我的好殿下 My lord,
殿下 我有几件您送给我的纪念品 I have remembrances of yours
我早就想把它们还给您 that I have longed long to re-deliver.
-请您现在收回去吧 -不 我不要 - I pray you, now receive them. - No.
-我从来没有给你什么东西 -殿下 - Not I, I never gave you aught. - My honour'd lord,
我记得很清楚您把它们送给了我 you know right well you did,
那时候您还向我说了许多甜言蜜语 and with them
使这些东西格外显得贵重 现在它们的芳香已经消散 words of so sweet breath compos'd as made the things more rich.
请您拿回去吧 Their perfume lost, take these again,
因为在有骨气的人看来 送礼的人要是变了心 for to the noble mind rich gift swax poor
礼物虽贵 也会失去了价值 when givers prove unkind.
拿去吧 殿下 There, my lord.
哈哈 Ha?
-你贞洁吗 -殿下 - are you honest? - My lord?
-你美丽吗 -殿下是什么意思 - are you fair? - What means your lordship?
要是你既贞洁又美丽 That if you be honest and fair,
那么你的贞洁应该断绝跟你的美丽来往 your honesty should admit no discourse to your beauty.
殿下 难道美丽除了贞洁以外 Could beauty, my lord,
还有什么更好的伴侣吗 have better commerce than with honesty?
嗯 真的 因为美丽可以使贞洁变成淫荡 Ay, truly, for the power of beauty will sooner transform honesty
贞洁却未必能使美丽受它自己的感化 from what it is to a bawd than the force of honesty
这句话从前像是怪诞之谈 can translate beauty into his likeness
可是现在时间已经把它证实了 this was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it proof.
-我的确曾经爱过你 -真的 殿下 - I did love you once. - Indeed, my lord,
您曾经使我相信您爱我 you made me believe so.
你当初就不应该相信我 You should not have believ'd me,
因为美德不能熏陶我们罪恶的本性 for virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock
我没有爱过你 but we shall relish of it I loved you not.
-那么我真是受了骗了 -进尼姑庵去吧 - I was the more deceived. - Get thee to a nunnery.
为什么你要生一群罪人出来呢 Why wouldst thou bea breeder of sinners?
我自己还不算是一个顶坏的人 I am myself in different honest,
可是我可以指出我的许多过失 but yet I could accuse me of such things
个人有了那些过失 that it were better my mother
他的母亲还是不要生下他来的好 had not borne me I am very proud, revengeful,
我很骄傲 有仇必报 富于野心 ambitious, with more offences at my beck
我的罪恶是那么多 连我的思想也容纳不下 than I have thoughts to put them in,imagination to give them shape,
我的想象也不能给它们形像 or time to act them in.
甚至于我都没有充分的时间可以把它们实行出来 What should such fellows as I do
像我这样的家伙 匍匐于天地之间 有什么用处 crawling between earth and heaven?
我们都是些十足的坏人 We are arrant knaves,
一个也不要相信我们 进尼姑庵去吧 all, believenone of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery.
你的父亲呢 Where's your father?
在家里 殿下 At home, my lord.
把他关起来 Let the doors be shut upon him,
让他只好在家里发发傻劲 that he may play the fool nowhere but in's own house.
再会 Farewell.
嗳哟 天哪 救救他 O, help him, you sweet heavens!
要是你一定要嫁人 If thou dost marry,
我就把这一个咒诅送给你做嫁妆 I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry,
尽管你像冰一样坚贞 像雪一样纯洁 be thou as chaste asice, as pure as snow,
你还是逃不过谗人的诽谤 thou shalt not escape calumny.
进尼姑庵去吧 去 再会 Get thee to a nunnery, go farewell.
或者要是你必须嫁人的话 就嫁给一个傻瓜吧 Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool,
因为聪明人都明白你们会叫他们变成怎样的怪物 for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them.
进尼姑庵去吧 去 越快越好 再会 To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.
天上的神明啊 让他清醒过来吧 O heavenly powers, restore him!
我也知道你们会怎样涂脂抹粉 I have heard of your paintings too,
上帝给了你们一张脸 well enough, God hath given you one face,
你们又替自己另外造了一张 and you make yourselves another
你们烟视媚行 淫声浪气 you jig, you amble, and you lisp,
替上帝造下的生物乱取名字 and nickname God's creatures,
卖弄你们不懂事的风骚 and make your wantonness your ignorance.
算了吧 我再也不敢领教了 Go to, I'll no more on't,
它已经使我发了狂 it hath made me mad.
我说 I say,
我们以后再不要结什么婚了 we will have no more marriages.
已经结过婚的 Those that are married already,
除了一个人以外 都可以让他们活下去 all but one, shall live.
没有结婚的不准再结婚 The rest shall keep as they are.
进尼姑庵去吧 To a nunnery,
去 go.
啊 一颗多么高贵的心是这样殒落了 O, what a noble mindis here o'erthrown!
朝臣的眼睛 学者的辩舌 The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's,
军人的利剑 eye, tongue, sword,
国家所瞩望的一朵娇花 the expectancy and rose of the fair state,
时流的明镜 人伦的雅范 the glass of fashion and the mould of form,
举世注目的中心 the observ'd of all observers,
这样无可挽回地殒落了 quite, quite down!
我是一切妇女中间最伤心而不幸的 And I, of ladies most deject and wretched
我曾经从他音乐一般的盟誓中吮吸芬芳的甘蜜 that suck'd the honey of his music vows,
现在却眼看着他的高贵无上的理智 now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
像一串美妙的银铃失去了谐和的音调 like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh,
无比的青春美貌 that unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
在疯狂中凋谢 blasted with ecstasy.
啊 我好苦 谁料过去的繁华 O, woe is me, to have seen what I have seen,
-变作今朝的泥土 -恋爱 - see What I see! - Love?
他的精神错乱不像是为了恋爱 His affections do not that way tend,
他说的话虽然有些颠倒 也不像是疯狂 nor what he spake, though it lack'dform a little, was not like madness.
他有些什么心事盘踞在他的灵魂里 There's something in his soul o'er which his melancholy sits on brood,
我怕它也许会产生危险的结果 and I do doubt the hatch and the disclose will be some danger
为了防止万一 我已经当机立断 决定了一个办法 which for to prevent, I have inquick determination thus set it down
他必须立刻到英国去 向他们追索延宕未纳的贡物 he shall with speed to England for the demand of our neglected tribute
也许他到海外各国游历一趟以后 haply the seas, and countries different, with variable objects,
时时变换的环境 shall expel this something-settled matter in his heart,
可以替他排解去这一桩使他神思恍惚的心事 whereon his brains still beating puts him thus from fashion of himself.
-你看怎么样 -那很好 - What think you on't? - It shall do well,
可是我相信他的烦闷的根本原因 but yet do I believe the origin and commencement of his grief
还是为了恋爱上的失意 sprung from neglected love.
啊 奥菲利娅 How now, Ophelia!
你不用告诉我们哈姆莱特殿下说些什么话 You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said,
我们全都听见了 we heard it all.
陛下 照您的意思办吧 My lord, do as you please,
可是您要是认为可以的话 but if you hold it fit,
不妨在戏剧终场以后 after the play,
让他的母后独自一人跟他在一起 let his queen mother all alone
恳求他向她吐露他的心事 entreat him to show his grief
她必须很坦白地跟他谈谈 let her be round with him,
我就找一个所在听他们说些什么 and I'll be plac'd, so please you, in the ear of all their conference.
要是她也探听不出他的秘密来 您就叫他到英国去 If she find him not, to England send him,
或者凭着您的高见 把他关禁在一个适当的地方 or confine him where your wisdom best shall think.
就这样吧 It shall be so
大人物的疯狂是不能听其自然的 madness in great ones must not unwatch'd go.
请你念这段剧词的时候 要照我刚才读给你听的那样子 Speak the speech, I pray you,as I pronounced it to you,
一个字一个字打舌头上很轻快地吐出来 trippingly on the tongue but if you mouth it,
要是你也像多数的伶人们一样 as many of your players do,
只会拉开了喉咙嘶叫 I had as lief the town crier
那么我宁愿叫那宣布告示的公差念我这几行词句 spoke my lines.
也不要老是把你的手在空中这么摇挥 Nor do not not saw the air too much with your hand,
一切动作都要温文 thus, but use all gently
因为就是在洪水暴风一样 for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say,
的感情激发之中 whirlwind of your passion,
你也必须取得一种节制 you must acquire and beget a temperance
免得流于过火 that may give it smoothness.
啊 我顶不愿意听见一个 O, it offends me to the soul, to hear
披着满头假发的家伙在台上乱嚷乱叫 a robustious periwig-pated fellow
把一段感情片片撕碎 tear a passion to tatters, to very rags,
让那些只爱热闹的低级观众听了出神 to split the ears of the groundlings, who, for the most part,
他们中间的大部分 are capable of nothing
是除了欣赏一些莫名其妙的手势以外 什么都不懂 but inexplicable dumb shows and noise.
我可以把这种家伙抓起来抽一顿鞭子 I would have such a fellow whipped
因为他把妥玛刚特形容过分 for o'erdoing Termagant,
希律王的凶暴也要对他甘拜下风 it out-herods Herodpray you avoid it.
请你留心避免才好 I warrant your honour.
我留心着就是了 殿下 be Not too tame Neither, but
可是太平淡了也不对 let your own discretion be your tutor
你应该接受你自己的常识的指导 suit the action to the word,
把动作和言语互相配合起来 特别要注意到这一点 the word to the action, with this special observance,
你不能越过自然的常道 that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature
因为任何过分的表现都是和演剧的原意相反的 for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing,
自有戏剧以来 whose end, both at the first and now, was and is,
它的目的始终是反映自然 to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature,
显示善恶的本来面目 to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image,
给它的时代看一看它自己演变发展的模型 and the very age and body ofthe time his form and pressure.
要是表演得过分了或者太懈怠了 Now, this overdone, or come tardy off,
虽然可以博外行的观众一笑 though it make the unskilful laugh,
明眼之士却要因此而皱眉 cannot but make the judicious grieve,
你必须看重这样一个卓识者的批评 the censure of the which one must in your allowance,
甚于满场观众盲目的毁誉 o'erweigh a whole theatre of others.
我曾经看见有几个伶人演戏 O, there be players that I have seen play,
而且也听见有人把他们极口捧场 and heard others praise, and that highly,
说一句比喻不伦的话 not to speak it profanely,
他们既不会说基督徒的语言 that, neither havingthe accent of Christians,
又不会学着基督徒 异教徒或者一般人的样子走路 nor the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so...
瞧他们在台上大摇大摆 使劲叫喊的样子 strutted and bellowed that I have thought
我心里就想一定是什么造化的雇工把他们造了下来 some of nature's journeymen had made men,
造得这样拙劣 以至于全然失去了人类的面目 and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.
我希望我们在这方面已经有了相当的纠正了 I hope we have reform'dthat indifferently with us.
啊 你们必须彻底纠正这一种弊病 O, reform it altogether.
还有你们那些扮演小丑的 And let those that play your clowns
除了剧本上专为他们写下的台词以外 speak no more than
不要让他们临时编造一些话加上去 is set down for them
往往有许多小丑爱用自己的笑声 for there be of them that will themselves laugh,
引起台下一些无知的观众的哄笑 to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too,
虽然那时候全场的注意力 though in the mean time
应当集中于其他更重要的问题上 some necessary question of the play
这种行为是不可恕的 be then to be considered that's villanous
它表示出那丑角的可鄙的野心 and shows a most pitiful ambition
去 准备起来吧 in the fool that usesit. Go make you ready.
啊 大人 王上愿意来听这一本戏吗 How now, my lord! Will the king hear this piece of work?
他跟娘娘都就要来了 And the queen too, And that presently.

-霍拉旭 -有 殿下 - What, ho, Horatio! - here, sweet lord, at your service.
霍拉旭 你是我所交接的人们中间 Horatio, thou art e'en as just a manas
最正直的一个人 e'er my conversation cop'd withal.
-啊 殿下 -不 不要以为我在恭维你 - O, My dear lord, - Nay, Do Not think I flatter
你除了你的善良的精神以外 身无长物 for what advancement may I hope from thee, that no revenue hast,
我恭维了你又有什么好处呢 but thy good spirits, to feed and clothe thee?
为什么要向穷人恭维 Why should the poor be flatter'd?
不 让蜜糖一样的嘴唇去吮舐愚妄的荣华 No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp,
在有利可图的所在 and crook the pregnant hinges of
屈下他们生财有道的膝盖来吧 the knee where thrift may follow fawning
你就是我灵魂里选中的一个人 Dost thou hear? Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice,
因为你虽然经历一切的颠沛 and could of men distinguish, here lection hath seal'd thee for herself
却不曾受到一点伤害 for thou hast been as one, insuffering all, that suffers nothing,
命运的虐待和恩宠 你都是受之泰然 a man that Fortune's buffets and rewards hast ta'en with equal thanks
能够把感情和理智调整得那么适当 and bles'd are those whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
命运不能把他玩弄于指掌之间 that they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger to sound
那样的人是有福的 what stop she please.
给我一个不为感情所奴役的人 Give me that man that is not passion's slave,
我愿意把他珍藏在我的心坎 and I will wear him in my heart's core,
我的灵魂的深处 ay, in my heart of heart,
正像我对你一样 as I do thee.

今晚我们要在国王面前演一出戏 There is a play to night before the king,
其中有一场的情节跟我告诉过你的 one scene of it comes near the circumstance,
我的父亲的死状颇相仿佛 which I have told thee, of my father's death
当那幕戏正在串演的时候 I pr'ythee, when thou see'st that act a-foot,
我要请你集中你的全副精神 注视我的叔父 even with the very comment of thy soul observe mine uncle.
要是他在听到了那一段戏词以后 If his occulted guilt do not itself
他的隐藏的罪恶还是不露出一丝痕迹来 unkennel in one speech,
那么我们所看见的那个鬼魂一定是个恶魔 it is a damned ghost that we have seen, and my
我的幻想也就像铁匠的砧石那样黑漆一团了 imaginations are as foulas Vulcan's stithy.
留心看他 我也要把我的眼睛看定他的脸上 Give him heedful note, for I mine eyes will rivet to his face,
过后我们再把各人观察的结果综合起来 and, after, we will both our judgments
给他下一个判断 join in censure of his seeming.
很好 殿下 Well, my lord
在演这出戏的时候 if he steal aught
要是他在容色举止之间 the whilst this play is playing,
有什么地方逃过了我们的注意 and scape detecting,
请您唯我是问 I will pay the theft.
他们来看戏了 They are coming to the play.
我必须装出一副糊涂样子 你去拣一个地方坐下 I must be idle get you a place.
你过得好吗 哈姆莱特贤侄 How fares our cousin Hamlet?
很好 好极了 Excellent, i' faith,
我过的是变色蜥蜴的生活 整天吃空气 of the chameleon's dish I eat the air,
肚子让甜言蜜语塞满了 promise-crammed.
这可不是你们填鸭子的办法 You cannot feed capons so.
你这种话真是答非所问 I have nothing with this answer,
哈姆莱特 我不是那个意思 Hamlet, these words are not mine.
不 我现在也没有那个意思 No, nor mine now.
大人 My lord,
您说您在大学里念书的时候 曾经演过一回戏吗 you play'd once i' the university, you say?
是的 殿下 他们都称赞我是一个很好的演员哩 That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor.
-您扮演什么角色呢 -我扮的是裘力斯·西泽 - What did you enact? - I did en act Julius Caesar,
勃鲁托斯在朱庇特神殿里把我杀死 I was kill'd i' the Capitol, Brutus killed me.
他在神殿里杀死了 It was a brute part of him
那么好的一头小牛 真太残忍了 to kill so capital a calf there.
那班戏子已经预备好了吗 be the players ready?
是 殿下 他们在等候您的旨意 Ay, My lord, they stay upon your patience.
过来 我的好哈姆莱特 坐在我的旁边 Come hither, my good Hamlet, sit by me.
不 好妈妈 这儿有一个更迷人的东西哩 No, good mother, here's metal more attractive.
啊哈 您看见吗 O, ho! Do you mark that?
小姐 我可以睡在您的怀里吗 Lady, shall I lie In your lap?
不 殿下 No, My lord.
我的意思是说 我可以把我的头枕在您的膝上吗 I mean, My head upon your lap?
嗯 殿下 Ay, My lord.
您以为我在转着下流的念头吗 Do you think I meant country matters?
我没有想到 殿下 I think nothing, My lord.
睡在姑娘大腿的中间 想起来倒是很有趣的 That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.
-什么 殿下 -没有什么 - What is, My lord? - Nothing.
您在开玩笑哩 殿下 You are merry, my lord.
谁 我吗 上帝啊 要说玩笑 那就得属我了 Who, I? O, your only jig-maker!
一个人为什么不说说笑笑呢 What should a man do but be merry?
您瞧 我的母亲多么高兴 For look you how cheer fully my mother looks,
我的父亲还不过死了两个钟头 and my father died within 's two hours.
不 已经四个月了 殿下 Nay, 'tis twice two months, my lord.
这么久了吗 So long?
嗳哟 那么让魔鬼去穿孝服吧 Nay then, let the devil wear black,
我可要去做一身貂皮的新衣啦 for I'll have a suit of sables.
天啊 死了两个月 还没有把他忘记吗 O heavens! die two months ago, and not forgotten yet?
那么也许一个大人物死了以后 Then there's hope a great man's memory
他的记忆还可以保持半年之久 may out live his life half a year
可是凭着圣母起誓 but, by'r lady, he must build churches then,
他必须造下几所教堂 or else shall he suffer not thinking on,
否则他就要跟那被遗弃的木马一样 with the hobby-horse, whose epitaph is
没有人再会想念他了 For, O, for, O, the hobby-horse is forgot!'
-这是什么意思 殿下 -呃 这是阴谋诡计 - What means this, my lord? - Marry, this is miching mallecho,
不干好事的意思 it means mischief.
大概这一场哑剧就是全剧的本事了 Belike this show imports the argument of the play.
这家伙可以告诉我们一切 We shall know by this fellow
演戏的都不能保守秘密 他们什么话都会说出来 the players cannot keep counsel, they'll tell all.
他也会给我们解释方才那场哑剧有什么奥妙吗 Will he tell us what this show meant?
是啊 这还不算 Ay, or any show
只要你做给他看什么 他也能给你解释什么 that you'll show him show,
只要你做出来不害臊 他解释起来也决不害臊 he'll not shame to tell you what it means.
殿下真是淘气 真是淘气 You are naught, you are naught
-我还是看戏吧 -这悲剧要是演不好 - I'll mark the play. - For us, and for our tragedy,
要请各位原谅指教 Here stooping to your clemency,
小的在这厢有礼了 We beg your hearing patiently.
这算开场词呢 Is this a prologue,
还是指环上的诗铭 or the posy of a ring?
-它很短 殿下 -正像女人的爱情一样 - 'Tis brief, my lord. - As woman's love.
日轮已经盘绕三十春秋? Full thirty times hath Phoebus' cart gone round
那茫茫海水和滚滚地球 Neptune's salt wash and Tellus' or bed ground,
月亮吐耀着借来的晶光 and thirty dozen moons with borrow'd sheen
三百六十回向大地环航 about the world have times twelve thirties been,
自从爱把我们缔结良姻 since love our hearts, and Hymen did our hands,
许门替我们证下了鸳盟 unite commutual in most sacred bands.
愿日月继续他们的周游 So many journeys may the sun and moon
让我们再厮守三十春秋 make us again counto'er ere love be done!
可是唉 你近来这样多病 but, woe is me, you are so sick of late,
郁郁寡欢 so far from cheer and from your former state
失去旧时高兴 that I distrust you. Yet,
好教我满心里为你忧惧 though I distrust, discomfort you,
可是 我的主 你不必疑虑 my lord, it nothing must
女人的忧伤像爱情一样 for women's fear and love hold quantity,
不是太少 就是超过分量 in either naught, or in extremity.
你知道我爱你是多么深 Now, what my love is, proof hath made you know,
所以才会有如此的忧心 and as my love is siz'd, my fear is so
越是相爱 越是挂肚牵胸 where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear,
不这样哪显得你我情浓 where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
爱人 我不久必须离开你 Faith, I must leave thee, love, and shortly too,
我的全身将要失去生机 my operant powers their functions leave to do
留下你在这繁华的世界 and thou shalt live in this fair world behind,
安享尊荣 受人们的敬爱 honour'd, belov'd,and haply one as kind
-也许再嫁一位如意郎君 -啊 - for husband shalt thou, - O, confound the rest!
我断不是那样薄情人 Such love must needs be treason in my breast
我倘忘旧迎新 难邀天恕 in second husband let me be accurst!
再嫁的除非是杀夫淫妇 None wed the second but who kill'd the first.
苦恼 苦恼 That's wormwood, wormwood.
妇人失节大半贪慕荣华 The instances that second marriage move
多情女子决不另抱琵琶 are base respects of thrift, but none of love.
我要是与他人共枕同衾 A second time I kill my husband dead
怎么对得起地下的先灵 when second husband kisses me in bed.
我相信你的话发自心田 I do believe you think what now you speak,
可是我们往往自食前言 but what we do determine oft we break.
志愿不过是记忆的奴隶 Purpose is but the slave to memory,
总是有始无终 虎头蛇尾 of violent birth, but poor validity
像未熟的果子密布树梢 which now, like fruitun ripe, sticks on the tree,
一朝红烂就会离去枝条 but fall unshaken when they mellow be.
我们对自己所负的债务 Most necessary'tis that we forget
最好把它丢在脑后不顾 to pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt
一时的热情中发下誓愿 what to ourselves in passion we propose,
心冷了 那意志也随云散 the passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
过分的喜乐 剧烈的哀伤 The violence of either grief or joy
反会毁害了感情的本常 their own enactures with themselves destroy
人世间的哀乐变幻无端 where joy most revels, grief doth most lament,
痛哭转瞬早变成了狂欢 grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
世界也会有毁灭的一天 This world is not for aye,
何怪爱情 and 'tis not strange that even
要随境遇变迁 our loves should with our fortunes change,
有谁能解答这一个哑谜 for 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
是境由爱造 是爱逐境移 whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
失财势的伟人举目无亲 The great man down, you'll mark his favourite flies,
走时运的穷酸仇敌逢迎 poor men advanc'd make friends of enemies,
这炎凉的世态古今一辙 and hither to does love on fortune tend
富有的门庭挤满了宾客 for who not needs shall never lack a friend,
要是你在穷途向人求助 and who in wanta hollow friend doth try,
即使知交也要情同陌路 directly seasons him his enemy.
把我们的谈话拉回本题 But, orderly to end where I begun,
意志命运往往背道而驰 our wills and fates do so contrary run
决心到最后会全部推倒 that our devices still are over thrown,
事实的结果总难符预料 our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own
你以为你自己不会再嫁 so think thou wilt no second husband wed,
只怕我一死你就要变卦 but die thy thoughts when thy first lord is dead.
地不要养我 天不要亮我 Nor earth to me give food, nor heaven light!
昼不得游乐 夜不得安卧 sport and repose lock from me day and night!
毁灭了我的希望和信心 To desperation turn my trust and hope!
铁锁囚门把我监禁终身 An anchor's cheerin prison be my scope!
每一种恼人的飞来横逆 Each opposite that blanks the face of joy
把我一重重的心愿摧折 meet what I would have well, and it destroy!
我倘死了丈夫再作新人 Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife,
让我生前死后永陷沉沦 if, once a widow, ever I be wife!
要是她现在背了誓 If she should break it now!
难为你发这样重的誓愿 爱人 你且去 Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, eave 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.
上天保佑我俩永无灾悔 Sleep rock thy brain, and never come mischance between us twain!
母亲 您觉得这出戏怎样 Madam, How like you this play?
我觉得那女人在表白心迹的时候 说话过火了一些 the Lady does protests too much, me thinks.
啊 可是她会守约的 O, but she'll keep her word.
这本戏是怎么一个情节 Have you heard the argument?
里面没有什么要不得的地方吗 Is there no offence in't?
不 不 他们不过开玩笑毒死了一个人 No, no! They do but jest, poison in jest,
没有什么要不得的 no offence i' the world.
-戏名叫什么 -捕鼠机 呃 怎么 - What do you call the play? - 'The Mouse-trap'. Marry, how?
这是一个象征的名字 Tropically. This play is the
戏中的故事影射着维也纳的一件谋杀案 image of a murder done in Vienna
贡扎古是那公爵的名字 Gonzago is the duke's name,his wife, Baptista,
他的妻子叫做白普蒂丝妲 you shall see anon,
您看下去就知道是怎么一回事啦 这是个很恶劣的作品 tis a knavish piece of work
可是那有什么关系 but what o' that?
它不会对您陛下跟我们这些灵魂清白的人有什么相干 Your majesty, and we that have free souls, it touches us not
让那有毛病的马儿去惊跳退缩吧 let the gall'd jade wince,
我们的肩背都是好好的 our withers are unwrung.
这个人叫做琉西安纳斯 是那国王的侄子 This is one Lucianus, nephew to the King.
您很会解释剧情 殿下 You are a good chorus, my lord.
要是我看见傀儡戏搬演您跟您爱人的故事 I could interpret between you and your love,
我也会替你们解释的 if I could see the puppets dallying.
您的嘴真厉害 殿下 您的嘴真厉害 You are keen, my lord. You are keen.
我要是真厉害起来 你非得哼哼不可 It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge.
-说好就好 说糟就糟 -女人嫁丈夫也是一样 - Still better, And worse. - so you must take your husbands.
动手吧 凶手 混账东西 Begin, murderer, pox,

也许他们可以让您领半额包银 Half a share.
我可要领全额的 a whole one, I.
因为你知道 亲爱的朋友 For thou dost know, o damon dear,
这一个荒凉破碎的国土原本是乔武统治的雄邦 this realm dismantled was of Jove himself,
-而今王位上却坐着 孔雀 -您该押韵才是 - And now reigns here a very, very pajock. - you might have rhymed.
啊 好霍拉旭 O good Horatio,
那鬼魂真的没有骗我 你看见吗 I'll take the ghost's word fora thous and pound! Didst perceive?
看见的 殿下 very well, My lord.
在那演戏的一提到毒药的时候 upon the talk of the poisoning?
-我看得他很清楚 -啊哈 - I did very well note him. - Ah, ha!
来 奏乐 来 那吹笛子的呢 Come, some music! Come, the recorders!
要是国王不爱这出喜剧 For if the king like not the comedy,
那么他多半是不能赏识 why then, belike he likes it not, perdy.
来 奏乐 Come, some music!
殿下 允许我跟您说句话 Good my lord, vouch safe me a word with you.
好 你对我讲全部历史都可以 sir, a whole history.
殿下 王上 the King, sir...
-嗯 王上怎么样 -他回去以后 - Ay, sir, what of him? - Is, in his retirement,
非常不舒服 marvellous distempered.
-喝醉了吗 -不 殿下 他在发脾气 - with drink, sir? - No, My lord, rather with choler.
你应该把这件事告诉他的医生 Your wisdom should show itself more richer
才算你的聪明 to signify this to his doctor.
因为叫我去替他诊视 For, for me to put him to his purgation
恐怕反而更会激动他的脾气的 might perhaps plunge him into far more choler.
好殿下 请您说话检点些 Good my lord, put your discourse into some frame,
别这样拉扯开去 And start not so wildly From my affair.
好 我是听话的 你说吧 I am tame, sir pronounce.
王后 您的母后 The queen, your mother,
她心里很难过 所以叫我来 in most great affliction of spirit, hath sent me to you.
-欢迎得很 -不 殿下 - You are welcome. - Nay, good my lord,
这一种礼貌是用不着的 this courtesy is not of the right breed.
要是您愿意给我一个好好的回答 If it shall please you to make me a whole some answer,
我就把您母亲的意旨向您传达 不然的话 I will do your mother's commandment if not...
请您原谅我 让我就这么回去 your pardon and my return
我的事情就算完了 shall be the end of my business.
-我不能 -您不能什么 殿下 - sir, I cannot. - What, My lord?
我不能给你一个好好的回答 Make you a whole some answer,
因为我的脑子已经坏了 my wit's diseased
可是我所能够给你的回答 你想要的 but, sir, such answer as I can make, you shall command,
我应该说我的母亲 可以要多少有多少 or rather, as you say, my mother therefore no more,
所以别说废话 言归正传吧 你说我的母亲 but to the matter my mother, you say,
她这样说 Then thus she says
您的行为 your behaviour hath struck her
使她非常吃惊 into amazement and admiration.
啊 好儿子 居然会叫一个母亲吃惊 O wonderful son, that can so stonish a mother!
可是在这母亲的吃惊的后面 But is there no sequel at the heels
还有些什么话呢 说吧 of this mother's admiration? Impart.
她请您在就寝以前 She desires to speak with you
到她房间里去跟她谈谈 in her closet ere you go to bed.
即使她十次是我的母亲 我也一定服从她 We shall obey, were she ten times our mother.
你还有什么别的事情 Have you any further trade with us?
殿下 我曾经蒙您错爱 My lord, you once did love me.
凭着我这双扒手起誓 And so I do still,
我现在还是欢喜你的 by these pickers and stealers.
好殿下 您心里这样不痛快 究竟为了什么原因 Good my lord, what isthe cause of your distemper?
要是您不肯把您的心事告诉您的朋友 You do, surely, bar the door upon your own liberty
那恐怕会害您自己失去自由 if you deny your griefs to your friend.
-我不满足我现在的地位 -怎么 - Sir, I lack advancement. - How can that be,
王上自己已经亲口把您立为王位的继承者了 when you have the voice of the king himself
您还不能满足吗 for your succession in Denmark?
嗯 可是"要等草儿青青"这句老话 Ay, sir, but 'While the grass grows'
也有点儿发了霉啦 the proverb is something musty.
啊 笛子来了 拿一支给我 O, the recorders let me see one.
跟你们退后一步说话 To with draw with you
为什么你们总这样千方百计地绕到我下风的一面 why do you go about to recover the wind of me,
好像一定要把我逼进你们的圈套 as if you would drive me into a toil?
啊 殿下 要是我有太冒昧放肆的地方 O my lord, if my duty be too bold,
那都是因为我对于您敬爱太深的缘故 my love is too unmannerly.
我不大懂得你的话 I do not well understand that.
你愿意吹吹这笛子吗 Will you play upon this pipe?
-殿下 我不会吹 -我拜托你吹一下 - My lord, I cannot. - I pray you.
-我真的不会吹 -请你不要客气 - believe me, I cannot. - I Do beseech you.
我真的一点不会 殿下 I know, no touch of it, my lord.
那是跟说谎一样容易的 'Tis as easy as lying.
你只要用你的手指按着这些笛孔 Govern these ventages with your finger and thumb,
把你的嘴放在上面一吹 give it breath with your mouth,
它就会发出最好听的音乐来 and it will discourse most eloquent music.
瞧 这些是音栓 Look you, these are the stops.
可是我不会从它里面吹出谐和的曲调来 But these cannot I command to any utterance of harmony,
我不懂那技巧 I have not the skill.
哼 你把我看成了什么东西 你会玩弄我 Why, look you now, how unworthya thing you would make of me!
你自以为摸得到我的心窍 You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops,
你想要探出我的内心的秘密 you would pluck outthe heart of my mystery,
你会从我的最低音试到我的最高音 you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass,
可是在这支小小的乐器之内 藏着绝妙的音乐 and there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ,
你却不会使它发出声音来 yet cannot you make it speak.
哼 你以为玩弄我比玩弄一支笛子容易吗 Sblood, do you think I am easier to be played upon than a pipe?
无论你把我叫作什么乐器 你也只能撩拨我 Call me what instrument you will! Though you can fret me,
不能玩弄我 上帝祝福你 先生 yet, you cannot play upon me. God bless you, sir!
殿下 娘娘请您立刻就去见她说话 My lord, the queen would speak with you, and presently.
你看见那片像骆驼一样的云吗 Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
嗳哟 它真的像一头骆驼 By the mass, and 't is like a camel indeed.
我想它还是像一头鼬鼠 Methinks It is like a weasel.
它拱起了背 正像是一头鼬鼠 It is backed like a weasel.
-还是像一条鲸鱼吧 -很像一条鲸鱼 - or like a whale. - very like a whale.
那么等一会儿我就去见我的母亲 Then will I come to my mother by and by.
我给他们愚弄得再也忍不住了 我等一会儿就来 They fool me to the top of my bent. I will come by and by.
-我就去这么说 -说等一会儿是很容易的 - I will say so. - By-and-by is easily said.
离开我 朋友们 Leave me, friends.
我不喜欢他 I like him not,
纵容他这样疯闹下去 对于我是一个很大的威胁 nor stands it safe with us to let his madness range.
所以你们快去准备起来吧 Therefore prepare you,
我马上叫人办好你们要递送的文书 I your commission will forth with dispatch,
同时打发他跟你们一块儿到英国去 and he to England shall along with you
就我的地位而论 the terms of our estate
他的疯狂每小时都可以危害我的安全 may not endure hazard so dangerous
我不能让他留在我的近旁 as doth hourly grow out of his lunacies.
我们就去准备起来 We will ourselves provide
许多人的安危都寄托在陛下身上 most holy and religious fear it is
这一种顾虑 to keep those many many bodies safe
是最圣明不过的 that live and feed upon your majesty.
一个身负天下重寄的人 The single and peculiar life is bound,
尤其应该时刻不懈地 by all the strength and armour of the mind,
防备危害的袭击 to keep itself from 'noyance,
君主的薨逝 but much more that spirit upon
不仅是个人的死亡 whose weal depend and rest the lives of many.
它像一个漩涡一样 The cease of majesty dies not alone,
凡是在它近旁的东西 but like a gulf doth draw what's near it with it
都要被它卷去同归于尽 it is a massy wheel,
又像一个矗立在最高山峰上的巨轮 fix'd onthe summit of the highest mount,
它的轮辐上连附着 to whose huge spokes ten thous
无数的小物件 and lesser things are mortis'd and adjoin'd,
当巨轮轰然崩裂的时候 那些小对象 which, when it falls, each small annexment,
也跟着它一齐粉碎 petty consequence, attends the boisterous ruin.
国王的一声叹息 总是随着全国的呻吟 Never alone did the king sigh, but with a general groan.
请你们准备立刻出发 Arm you, I pray you, to this speedy voyage,
因为我们必须及早制止这一种公然的威胁 for we will fetters put upon this fear, which now goes too free-footed.
-我们就去赶紧预备 -陛下 - we will haste us. - My lord...
他到他母亲房间里去了 he's going to his mother's closet
我现在就去躲在帏幕后面 behind the arras I'll convey myself
听他们怎么说 to hear the process,
我可以断定她一定会把他好好教训一顿的 I'll warrant she'll tax him home
您说得很不错 and, as you said, and wisely was it said,
母亲对于儿子 tis meet that some more audience than a mother,
总有几分偏心 since nature makes them partial,
所以最好有一个第三者躲在旁边偷听他们的谈话 should o'er hear the speech, of vantage.
再会 陛下 在您未睡以前 Fare you well, my liege
我还要来看您一次 I'll call upon you ere you go to bed,
把我所探听到的事情告诉您 and tell you what I know.
谢谢你 贤卿 Thanks, dear my lord.
现在是一夜之中最阴森的时候 Tis now the very witching time of night,
鬼魂都在此刻从坟墓里出来 when church yards yawn,
地狱也要向人世吐放疠气 and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world
现在我可以痛饮热腾腾的鲜血 now could I drink hot blood, and do such bitter business as the day
干那白昼所不敢正视的残忍的行为 would quake to look on.
且慢 我还要到我母亲那儿去一趟 Soft! Now to my mother.
心啊 不要失去你的天性之情 O heart, lose not thy nature,
远不要让尼罗的灵魂潜入我这坚定的胸怀 let not ever the soul of Nero enter this firm bosom
让我做一个凶徒 可是不要做一个逆子 let me be cruel, not unnatural,
我要用利剑一样的说话刺痛她的心 I will speak daggers to her,
可是决不伤害她身体上一根毛发 but use none,
我的舌头和灵魂要在这一次学学伪善者的样子 my tongue and soulin this be hypocrites,
无论在言语上给她多么严厉的谴责 how in my words somever she be shent,
在行动上却要做得丝毫不让人家指摘 to give them seals never, my soul, consent!
啊 我的罪恶的戾气已经上达于天 O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven,
我的灵魂上负着一个元始以来最初的咒诅 it hath the primal eldest curse upon't,
杀害兄弟的暴行 a brother's murder!
我不能祈祷 虽然我的愿望像决心一样强烈 Pray can I not, though inclination be as sharp as will
我的更坚强的罪恶击败了我的坚强的意愿 my stronger guiltde feats my strong intent,
像一个人同时要做两件事情 and, like a man to double business bound,
我因为不知道应该先从什么地方下手而徘徊歧途 I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
结果反弄得一事无成 and both neglect.
要是这一只可咒诅的手上染满了 What if this cursed hand were thicker
一层比它本身还厚的兄弟的血 than itself with brother's blood?
难道天上所有的甘霖 Is there not rain enough in the sweet heaven
都不能把它洗涤得像雪一样洁白吗 to wash it white as snow?
慈悲的使命 不就是宽宥罪恶吗 Where to serves mercy but tocon front the visage of offence?
祈祷的目的 And what's in prayer but this two fold force,
不是一方面预防我们的堕落 to be fores talled ere we cometo fall,
一方面救拔我们于已堕落之后吗 or pardon'd being down?
那么我要仰望上天 我的过失已经犯下了 Then I'll look up, my fault is past.
可是唉 哪一种祈祷才是我所适用的呢 But, o, what form of prayer can serve my turn?
"求上帝赦免我的杀人重罪"吗 那不能 Forgive me my foul murder! That cannot be,
因为我现在还占有着那些 since I am still possess'd of those effects
引起我的犯罪动机的目的物 for which I did the murder,
我的王冠 我的野心和我的王后 my crown, mine own ambition, and my queen.
非分攫取的利益还在手里 就可以幸邀宽恕吗 May one be pardon'd and retain the offence?
在这贪污的人世 In the corrupted currents of this world
罪恶的镀金的手也许可以把公道推开不顾 offence's gilded hand may shove by justice,
暴徒的赃物往往成为枉法的贿赂 and oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself buys out the law,
可是天上却不是这样的 but 'tis not so above, there is no shuffling,
在那边一切都无可遁避 there the action lie sin his true nature,
任何行动都要显现它的真相 and we ourselves compell'd,
我们必须当面为我们自己的罪恶作证 even to the teeth and forehead of our faults, to give in evidence.
那么怎么办呢 还有什么法子好想呢 What then? What rests?
试一试忏悔的力量吧 什么事情是忏悔所不能做到的 Try what repentance can what can it not?
可是对于一个不能忏悔的人 它又有什么用呢 Yet what can it when one cannot repent?
啊 不幸的处境 啊 像死亡一样黑暗的心胸 O wretched state! Obosom black as death!
啊 越是挣扎 越是不能脱身的胶住了的灵魂 O limed soul, that, struggling to be free, art more engag'd!
天使们 试一试吧 Help, angels! Make assay
屈下来 顽强的膝盖 bow, stubborn knees,
钢丝一样的心弦 and, heart, with strings of steel,
变得像新生之婴的筋肉一样柔嫩吧 be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
但愿一切转祸为福 All may be well.
他现在正在祈祷 Now might I do it pat,
我正好动手 我决定现在就干 now he is praying, and now I'll do't,
让他上天堂去 and so he goes to heaven,
我也算报了仇了 and so am I reveng'd.
不 那还要考虑一下 That would be scann'd
一个恶人杀死我的父亲 我 他的独生子 a villain kills my father, and for that, I, his sole son,
却把这个恶人送上天堂 do this same villain send to heaven?
啊 这简直是以恩报怨了 O, this is hire and salary, not revenge.
他用卑鄙的手段 He took my father grossly, full of bread,
在我父亲满心俗念 with all his crimes broad blown,
罪孽正重的时候乘其不备把他杀死 as flush as May,
虽然谁也不知道在上帝面前 and how his audit stands,
他的生前的善恶如何相抵 who knows save heaven?
可是照我们一般的推想 他的孽债多半是很重的 But in our circum stance and course of thought, 'tis heavy with him
现在他正在洗涤他的灵魂 and am I, then, reveng'd,
要是我在这时候结果了他的性命 to take him in the purging of his soul,
那么天国的路是为他开放着 这样还算是复仇吗 when he is fit and season'd for his passage?
不 No!
收起来 我的剑 等候一个更惨酷的机会吧 Up, sword, and know thou a more horrid hent
当他在酒醉以后 在愤怒之中 when he is drunk, asleep, or in his rage,
或是在乱伦纵欲的时候 有赌博 咒骂 or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed, at gaming, at swearing,
或是其他邪恶的行为的中间 or about some act that has no relish of salvation in't,
我就要叫他颠踬在我的脚下 then trip him, that his heels may kick at heaven,
让他幽深黑暗不见天日的灵魂永堕地狱 and that his soul may be as damn'd and black as hell, where to it goes.
我的母亲在等我 My mother stays
这一服续命的药剂不过延长了你临死的痛苦 this physic but prolongs thy sickly days.
我的言语高高飞起 我的思想滞留地下 My words fly up, my thoughts remain below
没有思想的言语永远不会上升天界 words without thoughts never to heaven go.
他就要来了 请您把他着实教训一顿 He will come straight. Look you lay home to him
对他说他这种狂妄的态度 实在叫人忍无可忍 tell him his pranks have been too broad to bear with,
倘没有您娘娘替他居中回护 and that your grace hath screen'd
王上早已对他大发雷霆了 and stood between much heat and him.
我就悄悄地躲在这儿 I'll silence me even here.
请您对他讲得着力一点 Pray you, be round with him.
都在我身上 你放心吧 I'll warrant you, fear me not!
母亲 母亲 母亲 Mother, mother, mother!
下去吧 我听见他来了 Withd raw, I hear him coming.
母亲 您叫我有什么事 Now, mother, what's the matter?
哈姆莱特 你已经大大得罪了你的父亲啦 Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended.
母亲 您已经大大得罪了我的父亲啦 Mother, you have my father much offended.
来 来 不要用这种胡说八道的话回答我 Come, come, you answer with an idle tongue.
去 去 不要用这种胡说八道的话问我 Go, go, you question with a wicked tongue.
-啊 怎么 哈姆莱特 -现在又是什么事 - Why, how now, Hamlet! - What's the matter now?
你忘记我了吗 Have you forgot me?
不 凭着十字架起誓 我没有忘记你 No, by the rood, not so
你是王后 你的丈夫的兄弟的妻子 you are the queen, your husband's brother's wife,
你又是我的母亲 但愿你不是 and, would it were not so, you are my mother...
那么我要去叫那些会说话的人来跟你谈谈了 Nay, then, I'll set those to you that can speak.
来 来 坐下来 不要动 Come, come, and sit you down, you shall not budge,
我要把一面镜子放在你的面前 you go not till I set you up a glass
让你看一看你自己的灵魂 where you may see the in most part of you.
你要干么呀 你不是要杀我吗 What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me?
-救命 救命呀 -喂 救命 救命 救命 - Help, help, ho! - What, ho! help, help, help!
怎么 是哪一个鼠贼 准是不要命了 我来结果你 Dead, for a ducat, dead!
啊 我死了 O, I am slain!
嗳哟 你干了什么事啦 O me, what hast thou done?
我也不知道 那不是国王吗 Nay, I know not is it the king?
啊 多么卤莽残酷的行为 O, what a rash and bloody deed is this!
残酷的行为 好妈妈 A bloody deed! Almost as bad, good mother,
简直就跟杀了一个国王再去嫁给他的兄弟一样坏 as kill a king, and marry with his brother.
-杀了一个国王 -嗯 母亲 我正是这样说 - As kill a king! - Ay, lady, 'twas my word.
你这倒运的 粗心的 爱管闲事的傻瓜 再会 Thou wretched, rash,intruding fool, farewell!
我还以为是一个在你上面的人哩 也是你命不该活 I took thee for thy better take thy fortune,
现在你可知道爱管闲事的危险了 thou find'st to be too busy is some danger.
别尽扭着你的手 Leave wringing of your hands.
静一静 坐下来 让我扭你的心 Peace! Sit you down, and let me wring your heart
你的心倘不是铁石打成的 for so I shall, if it be made of penetrable stuff,
万恶的习惯倘不曾把它硬化得透不进一点感情 if damned custom have not brass'd it
那么我的话一定可以把它刺痛 so that it is proof and bulwark against sense.
我干了些什么错事 What have I done,
你竟敢这样肆无忌惮地向我摇唇弄舌 that thou darest wagthy tongue in noise so rude against me?
你的行为可以使贞节蒙污 Such an act that blurs the grace and blush of modesty,
使美德得到了伪善的名称 calls virtue hypocrite,
从纯洁的恋情的额上取下娇艳的蔷薇 takes off the rose from the fair fore head of an innocent love
替它盖上一个烙印 and sets a blister there,
使婚姻的盟约变成博徒的誓言一样虚伪 makes marriage-vowsas false as dicers' oaths
啊 这样一种行为 o, such a deed as from the
简直使盟约成为一个没有灵魂的躯壳 body of contraction plucks the very soul,
神圣的婚礼变成一串谵妄的狂言 and sweet religion makesa rhapsody of words
苍天的脸上也为它带上羞色 heaven's face doth glow
大地因为痛心这样的行为 也罩上满面的愁容 yea, this solidity and compound mass,
好像世界末日就要到来一般 with tristful visage, as against the doom, is thought-sick at the act!
唉 究竟是什么极恶重罪 Ay me, what act, that roars soloud,
你把它说得这样惊人呢 and thunders in the index?
瞧这一幅图画 再瞧这一幅 Look here, upon this picture, and on this,
这是两个兄弟的肖像 the counterfeit presentment of two brothers.
你看这一个的相貌多么高雅优美 See, what a grace wasseated on this brow,
太阳神的鬈发 天神的前额 Hyperion's curls, the front
像战神一样威风凛凛的眼睛 of Jove himself,
他降落在高吻穹苍的山巅的神使一样矫健的姿态 an eye like Mars, to threaten and command,
这一个完善卓越的仪表 a station like the herald Mercurynew-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill,
真像每一个天神 a combination and a form indeed,
都曾在那上面打下印记 where every god did seem to set his seal,
向世间证明这是一个男子的典型 to give the world assurance of a man
这是你从前的丈夫 this was your husband.
现在你再看这一个 Look you now, what follows
这是你现在的丈夫 像一株霉烂的禾穗 here is your husband, like a mildew'd ear,
损害了他的健硕的兄弟 你有眼睛吗 blasting his whole some brother. Have you eyes?
你甘心离开这一座大好的高山 Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed,
靠着这荒野生活吗 and batten on this moor?
嘿 你有眼睛吗 你不能说那是爱情 Ha! have you eyes? You cannot call it love,
因为在你的年纪 热情已经冷淡下来 for at your age the hey-dayin the blood is tame,
变驯服了 肯听从理智的判断 it's humble, and waits upon the judgment
什么理智愿意从这么高的地方降落到这么低呢 and what judgment would step from this to this?
知觉你当然是有的 否则你就不会有行动 Sense, sure, you have, elsecould you not have motion,
可是你那知觉也一定已经麻木了 but sure, that sense is apoplex'd,
因为就是疯人也不会 for madness would not err,
犯那样的错误 nor sense to ecstasy was ne'er so thrall'd
无论怎样丧心病狂 but it reserved some quantity of choice,
总不会连这样悬殊的差异都分辨不出来 to serve in such a difference.
那么是什么魔鬼蒙住了你的眼睛 把你这样欺骗呢 What devil was't that thus hathcozen'd you at hoodman-blind?
有眼睛而没有触觉 Eyes without feeling,
有触觉而没有视觉 feeling with out sight,
有耳朵而没有眼或手 ears without hands or eyes,
甚至只剩下一种官觉还出了毛病 smelling sans all, or but asickly part of one true sense
也不会糊涂到你这步田地 could not so mope.
羞啊 O shame!
你不觉得惭愧吗 Where is thy blush?
要是地狱中的孽火 Rebellious hell,
可以在一个中年妇人的骨髓里煽起了蠢动 if thou canstmutine in a matron's bones,
那么在青春的烈焰中 to flaming youth let virtue be as wax,
让贞操像蜡一样融化了吧 and melt in her own fire proclaim no shame
当无法阻遏的情欲大举进攻的时候 when the compulsiveard our
用不着喊什么羞耻了 gives the charge,
因为霜雪都会自动燃烧 理智都会做情欲的奴隶呢 since frost itself as actively doth burn and reason panders will!
啊 哈姆莱特 不要说下去了 O Hamlet, speak no more thou turn'st
你使我的眼睛看进了我自己灵魂的深处 mine eyes into my very soul,
看见我灵魂里 and there I see such black
那些洗拭不去的黑色的污点 and grained spots as will not leave their tinct.
嘿 生活在汗臭垢腻的眠床上 Nay, but to live in the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,
让淫邪熏没了心窍 stew'd in corruption,
在污秽的猪圈里调情弄爱 honeying and making love over the nasty sty,
啊 不要再对我说下去了 O, speak to me no more, these words,
这些话像刀子一样戳进我的耳朵里 like daggers, enter in mine ears!
不要说下去了 亲爱的哈姆莱特 No more, sweet Hamlet!
一个杀人犯 一个恶徒 A murderer and a villain,
一个不及你前夫二百分之一的庸奴 a slave that is not twentieth part the tithe of your precedent lord,
一个冒充国王的丑角 一个盗国窃位的扒手 a vice of kings, a cut purse of the empire and the rule,
从架子上偷下那顶珍贵的王冠 that from a shelf the precious diadem stole,
塞在自己的腰包里 and put it in his pocket!
-别说了 -一个下流褴褛的国王 - No more! - A king of shreds and patches!
天上的神明啊 救救我 Save me,
用你们的翅膀覆盖我的头顶 and hover o'er me with your wings, you heavenly guards!
陛下英灵不昧 有什么见教 What would your gracious figure?
嗳哟 他疯了 Alas, he's mad!
您不是来责备您的儿子 Do you not come your tardy son to chide,
不该消磨时间和热情 that, lapsed in time and passion,
把您煌煌的命令搁在一旁 耽误了应该做的大事吗 lets go by the important acting of your dread command?
-啊 说吧 -不要忘记 - O, say! - Do not forget
我现在是来磨砺你的 this visitation is but to whet
快要蹉跎下去的决心 thy almost blunted purpose.
可是瞧 你的母亲那副惊愕的表情 But, look, amazement on thy mother sits.
快去安慰安慰她的正在交战中的灵魂吧 O, step between her and her fighting soul.
最柔弱的人 Conceit in weakest bodies
最容易受幻想的激动 strongest works.
去对她说话 哈姆莱特 Speak to her, Hamlet.
-您怎么啦 母亲 -唉 你怎么啦 - How is it with you, lady? - Alas, how is't with you,
为什么你把眼睛睁视着虚无 that you do bend your eye on vacancy and
向空中喃喃说话 with the incorporal air do hold discourse?
你的眼睛里射出狂乱的神情 Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep,
像熟睡的兵士突然听到警号一般 and, as the sleeping soldiers in the alarm,
你的整齐的头发一根根都像有了生命似的 your bedded hair, like life in excrements,
竖立起来 starts up, and stands on end.
啊 好儿子 在你的疯狂的热焰上 O gentle son, upon the heat and flame of thy distemper
浇洒一些清凉的镇静吧 sprinkle cool patience.
你瞧什么 Where on do you look?
他 On him.
他 On him!
您瞧 他的脸色多么惨淡 Look you, how pale he glares!
看见了他这一种形状 His form and cause conjoin'd,
要是再知道他所负的沉冤 preaching to stones,
即使石块也会感动的 would make them capable.
不要瞧着我 Do not look upon me,
免得你那种可怜的神气反会妨碍我的冷酷的决心 lest with this piteous action you convert my stern effects
也许我会因此而失去勇气 then what I have to do will want true colour,
让挥泪代替了流血 tears perchance for blood.
-你这番话是对谁说的 -您没有看见什么吗 - to whom Do you Speak this? - Do you see nothing there?
什么也没有 nothing at all,
要是有什么东西在那边 我不会看不见的 Yet all that is I see.
您也没有听见什么吗 Nor Did you nothing hear?
不 除了我们两人的说话以外 我什么也没有听见 No, nothing but ourselves.
啊 您瞧 Why, look you there!
瞧 它悄悄地去了 Look, how it steals away!
我的父亲 穿着他生前所穿的衣服 My father, in his habit as he lived!
瞧 他就在这一刻 从门口走出去了 Look, where he goes, even now, out at the portal!
这是你脑中虚构的意象 This the very coinage of your brain
一个人在心神恍惚之中 this bodiless creation ecstasy
最容易发生这种幻妄的错觉 is very cunning in.
心神恍惚 Ecstasy!
在按着正常的节奏跳动哩 My pulse, as yours, doth temperately keep time,
我所说的并不是疯话 我的脉搏跟您的一样 and makes as healthful music it is not madness that I have utter'd
要是您不信不妨试试 bring me to the test,
我可以把话一字不漏地复述一遍 and I the matter will re-word,
一个疯人是不会记忆得那样清楚的 which madness would gambol from.
母亲 为了上帝的慈悲 Mother, for love of grace...
不要自己安慰自己 lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
以为我这一番说话 只是出于疯狂 that not your trespass, but my madness speaks
那样的思想不过是骗人的油膏 it will but skin and film
不是真的对您的过失而发 the ulcerous place,
只能使您溃烂的良心上结起一层薄膜 whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
那内部的毒疮却在底下愈长愈大 infects unseen.
向上天承认您的罪恶吧 忏悔过去 警戒未来 Confess yourself to heaven, repent what's past,
不要把肥料浇在莠草上 avoid what is to come, and do not spread the compost
使它们格外蔓延起来 on the weeds, to make them ranker.
原谅我这一番正义的劝告 Forgive me this my virtue,
因为在这种万恶的时世 for in the fatness of these pursy times
正义必须向罪恶乞恕 virtue itself of vice must pardon beg,
它必须俯首屈膝 要求人家接纳他的善意的箴规 yea, curb and woo for leave to do him good.
啊 哈姆莱特 O Hamlet...
你把我的心劈为两半了 thou hast cleft my heart in twain.
啊 把那坏的一半丢掉 O, throw away the worser part of it,
保留那另外的一半 让您的灵魂清凈一些 and live the purer with the other half.
晚安 可是不要上我叔父的床 Good night but go not to mine uncle's bed,
即使您已经失节 assume a virtue,
也得勉力学做一个贞节妇人的样子 if you have it not.
习惯虽然是一个可以使人失去羞耻的魔鬼 That monster, custom,who all sense doth eat,
但是它也可以做一个天使 对于勉力为善的人 of habits devil, is angel yet in this,
它会用潜移默化的手段 使他徙恶从善 that to the use of actions fair and good
您要是今天晚上自加抑制 he like wise gives a frock orlivery, that aptly is put on.
下一次就会觉得这一种自制的功夫并不怎样为难 Refrain to night, and that shall lend
慢慢地就可以习以为常了 akind of easiness to the next abstinence
因为习惯简直有一种改变气质的神奇的力量 the next more easy, for use almostcan change the stamp of nature,
它可以制服魔鬼 and either shame the devil,
并且把他从人们心里驱逐出去 or throw him out with wondrous potency.
让我再向您道一次晚安 Once more, good night
当您希望得到上天祝福的时候 and when you are desirous to be bless'd,
我将求您祝福我 I'll blessing beg of you.
至于这一位老人家 For this same lord,
我很后悔自己一时鲁莽把他杀死 I do repent,
可是这是上天的意思 but heaven hath pleased it so,
要借着他的死惩罚我 to punish me with this and this with me,
同时借着我的手惩罚他 that I must be their
使我成为代天行刑的凶器和使者 scourge and minister.
我现在先去把他的尸体安顿好了 I will bestow him,
再来承担这个杀人的过咎 and will answer well the death I gave him.
晚安 So, again, good night.
为了顾全母子的恩慈 I must be cruel, only to be kind
我不得不忍情暴戾 thus bad begins
更大的灾祸还在接踵而至 and worse remains behind.
-再有一句话 母亲 -我应当怎么做 - one word more, good lady. - What shall I do?
我不能禁止您不再让那肥猪似的僭王引诱您和他同床 Not this, by no means,that I bid you do
让他拧您的脸 let the bloat king tempt you again to bed,
叫您做他的小耗子 pinch wanton on your cheek, call you his mouse,
我也不能禁止您因为他给了您一两个恶臭的吻 and let him, for a pairof reechy kisses, or
或是用他万恶的手指抚摩您的颈项 paddling in your neck with his damn'd fingers,
就把您所知道的事情 make you to ravel all this matter out,
一起说了出来 that I essentially am not in madness,
告诉他我实在是装疯 不是真疯 but mad in craft. 'Twere good you let him know,
因为哪一个美貌聪明懂事的王后 for who, that's but a queen,
愿意隐藏着这样重大的消息 fair, sober, wise,
不去告诉一只蛤蟆 一只蝙蝠 would from a paddock, from a bat,
一只老雄猫 a gib, such dear concernings hide?
谁知道呢 不 虽然理性警告您保守秘密 Who would do so? No, indespite of sense and secrecy,
您尽管学那寓言中的猴子 因为受了好奇心的驱使 unpeg the basket on the house's top. Let the birds fly,
到屋顶上去开了笼门 把鸟儿放走 and, like the famous ape, to try conclusions,
自己钻进笼里去 结果连笼子一起掉下来跌死吧 in the basket creep, and break your own neck down.
你放心吧 Be thou assured,
要是言语来自呼吸 呼吸来自生命 if words be made ofbreath, and breath of life,
只要我一息犹存 I have no life to breathe
就决不会让我的呼吸泄漏了你对我所说的话 what thou hast said to me.
我必须到英国去 您知道吗 I must to England, you know that?
唉 我忘了 Alack, I had forgot.
-这事情已经这样决定了 -公文已经封好 - 'Tis so concluded on. - There's letters seal'd,
打算交给我那两个同学带去 and my two school fellows,
对这两个家伙我要像对待两条咬人的毒蛇一样随时提防 whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd,
他们将要做我的先驱 they bear the mandate, they must sweep
引导我钻进什么圈套里去 my way, and marshal me to knavery.
我倒要瞧瞧他们的能耐 Let it work, for 'tis the sport to
开炮的要是给炮轰了 have the engineer hoist with his own petard
也是一件好玩的事 and 't shall go hard
他们会埋地雷 我要比他们埋得更深 but I will delve one yard below their mines,
把他们轰到月亮里去 and blow them at the moon.
啊 用诡计对付诡计 不是顶有趣的吗 O, 'tis most sweet, when in one line two crafts directly meet.
这家伙一死 多半会提早了我的行期 This man shall set me packing I'll
让我把这尸体拖到隔壁去 lug the guts into the neighbour room.
母亲 晚安 Mother, good night indeed.
这一位大臣生前 This counsellor is now most still,
是个愚蠢饶舌的家伙 most secret and most grave,
现在却变成非常谨严庄重的人了 who was in lifea foolish prating knave.
来 老先生 Come, sir,
该是收场的时候了 to draw toward an end with you.
晚安 母亲 Good night, mother.
这些长吁短叹之中 都含着深长的意义 There's matter in these sighs, these profound heaves
你必须明说出来 让我知道 you must translate 'tis fit weunderst and them.
你的儿子呢 Where is your son?
请你们暂时退开 Bestow this place on us a little while.
啊 陛下 今晚我看见了多么惊人的事情 Ah, my good lord, what have I seen to night!
什么 乔特鲁德 哈姆莱特怎么啦 What, Gertrude? How does Hamlet?
疯狂得像彼此争强斗胜的 Mad as the sea and wind, when both
天风和海浪一样 contend which is the mightier.
在他野性发作的时候 In his lawless fit,
他听见帏幕后面有什么东西爬动的声音 behind the arras hearing something stir,
就拔出剑来 嚷着 "有耗子 有耗子" whips out his rapier,cries, 'A rat, a rat!'
于是在一阵疯狂的恐惧之中 and, in this brainish apprehension,
把那躲在幕后的好老人家杀死了 kills the unseen good old man.
啊 罪过罪过 O heavy deed!
要是我在那儿 我也会照样死在他手里的 It had been so with us, had we been there!
放任他这样胡作非为 对于你 对于我 His liberty is full of threats to all,
对于每一个人 都是极大的威胁 to you yourself, to us, to every one.
唉 这一件流血的暴行应当由谁负责呢 Alas, how shall this bloody deed be answer'd?
我是不能辞其咎的 It will be laid to us,
因为我早该防患未然 whose providence should have kept short,
把这个发疯的孩子关禁起来 restrain'd and...
不让他到处乱走 out of haunt, this mad young man.
可是我太爱他了 But so much was our love,
以至于不愿想一个适当的方策 we would not underst and what was most fit,
正像一个害着恶疮的人 因为不让它出毒的缘故 but, like the owner of a fould isease, to keep it from divulging,
弄到毒气攻心 无法救治一样 let it feed even on the pith of life.
他到哪儿去了 Where is he gone?
拖着那个被他杀死的尸体出去了 To draw apart the body he hath kill'd
像一堆下贱的铅铁 掩不了真金的光彩一样 o'er whom his very madness,
他知道他自己做错了事 like someore among a mineral of metals base,
他的纯良的本性就从他的疯狂里透露出来 他哭了 shows itself pure, he weeps for what is done.
啊 乔特鲁德 来 O Gertrude, come away!
太阳一到了山上 我就赶紧让他登船出发 The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch, but we will ship him hence
对于这一件罪恶的行为 and this vile deed we must,
我只有尽量利用我的威权和手腕 with all our majesty and skill,
替他掩饰过去 both countenance and excuse.
两位朋友 Ho, Guildenstern! Friends both,
你们去多找几个人帮忙 go join you with some further aid.
哈姆莱特在疯狂之中 已经把波洛涅斯杀死 Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain,
他现在把那尸体从他母亲的房间里拖出去了 and from his mother's closet hath he dragg'd him.
你们去找他来 对他说话要和气一点 Go seek him out, speak fair,
再把那尸体搬到教堂里去 and bring the body into the chapel.
请你们快去把这件事情办好 Come on! I pray you, haste in this!
来 乔特鲁德 Come, Gertrude,
我要去召集我那些最有见识的朋友们 we'll call up our wisest friends,
免得外边无稽的谰言牵涉到我身上 and let them know, both what we mean to do, and what's untimely done.
它的毒箭从低声的密语中间散放出去 So envious slander, whose whisper o'er the world's diameter
是像弹丸从炮口射出去一样每发必中的 as level as the cannon to his blank, transports the poisoned shot
现在我们这样做后 它或许会落空了 may miss our name and hit the woundless air.
啊 来吧 O, come away!
我的灵魂里充满着混乱和惊愕 My soul is full of discord and dismay.
-藏好了 -哈姆莱特 哈姆莱特殿下 - Safely stowed. - Hamlet! Lord Hamlet!
什么声音 谁在叫哈姆莱特 But soft, what noise? Who calls on Hamlet?
-哈姆莱特 -啊 他们来了 - Hamlet! - O, here they come.
殿下 您把那尸体怎么样啦 What have you done, my lord, with the dead body?
它本来就是泥土 我仍旧让它回到泥土里去 Compounded it with dust, whereto 'tis kin.
告诉我们它在什么地方 Tell us where 'tis, that we may take
让我们把它搬到教堂里去 it thence and bear it to the chapel.
-不要相信 -不要相信什么 - Do Not believe it. - believe What?
不要相信我会说出我的秘密 倒替你们保守秘密 That I can keep your counsel and not mine own.
而且 一块海绵也敢问起我来 Besides, to be demanded of a sponge!
一个堂堂王子应该用什么话去回答它呢 What replication should be made by the son of a king?
您把我当作一块海绵吗 殿下 Take you me for a sponge, my lord?
嗯 先生 一块吸收君王的恩宠 Ay, sir, that soaks up the king's countenance,
利禄和官爵的海绵 his rewards, his authorities.
可是这样的官员要到最后 But such officers do the king
才会显出他们对于君王的最大用处来 best service in the end.
像猴子吃硬壳果一般 He keeps them, like an ape,
他们的君王先把他们含在嘴里舐弄了好久 an apple, in the corner of his jaw,
然后再一口咽了下去 first mouthed, to be last swallowed.
当他需要被你们所吸收去的东西的时候 When he needs what you have gleaned,
他只要把你们一挤 it is but squeezing you,
于是 海绵 你又是一块干巴巴的东西了 And, sponge, you shall be dry again.
我不懂您的话 殿下 I understand you not, My lord.
那很好 下流的话正好让它 I am glad of it a knavish speech
埋葬在一个傻瓜的耳朵里 sleeps in a foolish ear.
殿下 您必须告诉我们那尸体在什么地方 My lord, you must tell us where the body is,
然后跟我们见王上去 and go with us to the king.
他的身体和国王同在 The body is with the king,
可是那国王并不和他的身体同在 but the king is not with the body.
-国王是一件东西 -一件东西 殿下 - The king is a thing... - A thing, my lord!
一件虚无的东西 带我去见他 of nothing. Bring me to him.
-殿下 -狐狸躲起来 大家追上去 - My lord! - Hide fox, And all after.
殿下 My lord!
哈姆莱特殿下 My good lord Hamlet!
殿下 My good lord!
哈姆莱特 Hamlet!
我已经叫他们找他去了 I have sent to seek him,
并且叫他们把那尸体寻出来 and to find the body.
让这家伙任意胡闹 How dangerous is it
是一件多么危险的事情 that this man goes loose!
可是我们又不能把严刑峻法加在他的身上 Yet must not we put the strong law on him
他是为糊涂的群众所喜爱的 he's loved of the distracted multitude,
他们喜欢一个人 只凭眼睛 不凭理智 who like not in their judgment, but their eyes,
我要是处罚了他 and, where 'tis so,
他们只看见我的刑罚的苛酷 the offender's scourgeis weigh'd,
却不想到他犯的是什么重罪 but never the offence.
为了顾全各方面的关系 这样叫他迅速离国 To bear all smooth and even, this sudden sending him away
必须显得像是深思熟虑的结果 must seem deliberate pause.
应付非常的变故 只有用非常的手段 Diseases desperate grown by desperate appliance are relieved,
不然是不中用的 or not at all.
啊 事情怎样啦 How now! What hath befall'n?
陛下 他不肯告诉我们那尸体在什么地方 Where the dead body is bestow'd,my lord, we cannot get from him.
-可是他呢 -在外面 陛下 - But where is he? - Without, my lord,
我们把他看起来了 等候您的旨意 guarded, to know your pleasure.
带他来见我 Bring him before us.
喂 吉尔登斯吞 带殿下进来 Ho, Guildenstern! Bring in my lord.
-啊 哈姆莱特 波洛涅斯呢 -吃饭去了 - Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? - At supper.
吃饭去了 在什么地方 at supper! Where?
不是在他吃饭的地方 是在人家吃他的地方 Not Where he eats, but Where he is eaten.
有一群精明的蛆虫正在他身上大吃特吃哩 A certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him.
蛆虫是全世界最大的饕餮家 Your worm is your only emperor for diet
我们喂肥了各种牲畜给自己受用 we fat all creatures else to fatus,
再喂肥了自己去给蛆虫受用 and we fat ourselves for maggots
胖胖的国王跟瘦瘦的乞丐 your fat king and your lean beggar
是一个桌子上两道不同的菜 is but variable service,
不过是这么一回事 two dishes, but to one table That's the end.
唉 唉 Alas, alas!
一个人可以 a man may fish with the worm
拿一条吃过一个国王的蛆虫去钓鱼 that hath eat of a king,
再吃那吃过那条蛆虫的鱼 and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.
你这句话是什么意思 What dost you mean by this?
没有什么意思 我不过指点你 nothing but to show you how a King
一个国王可以在一个乞丐的脏腑里作一番巡礼 may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
波洛涅斯呢 Where is Polonius?
在天上 你差人到那边去找他吧 In heaven. Send hither to see...
要是你的使者在天上找不到他 If your messenger find him not there,
那么你可以自己到另外一个所在去找他 seek him i' the other place yourself. But if indeed
可是你们在这一个月里要是找不到他的话 you find him not within this month,
你们只要跑上走廊的阶石 you shall nose him as you
也就可以闻到他的气味了 go up the stairs into the lobby.
到走廊里去找一找 Go seek him there.
-他一定会恭候你们 -哈姆莱特 - he will Stay till ye come. - Hamlet...
你干出这种事来 使我非常痛心 this deed, for thine especial safety, which we do tender,
由于我很关心你的安全 as we dearly grieve for that which thou hast done,
你必须火速离开国境 所以快去自己预备预备 must send thee hence with fiery quickness. Therefore prepare thyself,
船已经整装待发 风势也很顺利 the bark is ready, and the wind at help,
同行的人都在等着你 the associates tend, and every thing
-一切都已经准备好向英国出发 -到英国去 - is bent for England. - For England!
-是的 哈姆莱特 -好 - Ay, Hamlet. - Good.
要是你明白我的用意 So is it,
你应该知道这是为了你的好处 if thou knew'st our purposes.
我看见一个明白你的用意的天使 I see a cherub that sees them.
可是来 到英国去 再会 亲爱的母亲 But, come, for England! Farewell, dear mother.
-我是你慈爱的父亲 哈姆莱特 -我的母亲 - thy loving father, Hamlet. - Mother.
父亲和母亲是夫妇两个 夫妇是一体之亲 Father and mother is man and wife. Man and wife is one flesh,
所以再会吧 我的母亲 and so, my mother.
来 到英国去 Come, for England!
跟在他后面 劝诱他赶快上船 Follow him at foot, tempt him with speed aboard,
不要耽误 我要叫他今晚离开国境 去 delay it not, I'll have him hence to night. Away!
和这件事有关的一切公文要件 都已经密封停当了 For every thing is seal'd and done that else leans on the affair.
请你们赶快一点 Pray you, make haste!
英格兰王啊 And, England,
丹麦的宝剑在你的国土上还留着鲜明的创痕 if my love thou hold'st at aught
你向我们纳款输诚的敬礼至今未减 as my great power there of may give thee sense,
要是你畏惧我的威力 since yet thy cicatrice looks rawand red after the Danish sword,
重视我的友谊 and thy free awepays homage to us
你就不能忽视我的意旨 thou mayst not coldly set our sovereign process, which imports at full,
我已经在公函里要求你 by letters congruing to that effect,
把哈姆莱特立即处死 the present death of Hamlet.
照着我的意思做吧 英格兰王 Do it, England, for like the hectic in my blood he rages,
因为他像是我深入膏盲的痼疾 and thou must cure me!
一定要借你的手把我医好 Till I know 'tis done,
我必须知道他已经不在人世 howe'er my haps,
我的脸上才会浮起笑容 my joys were ne'er begun.
队长 你去替我问候丹麦国王 Go, captain, from me greet the Danish king.
告诉他说福丁布拉斯因为得到他的允许 Tell him that, by his licence,
率领一支军队通过他的国境 Fortinbras craves the conveyance
请他派人来带路 你知道我们在什么地方集合 of a promised march over his kingdom. You know the rendezvous.
要是丹麦王有什么话要跟我当面说 If that his majesty would aught with us,
我也可以入朝晋谒 we shall express our duty in his eye,
-你就这样对他说吧 -是 主将 - and let him know so. - I will do't, my lord.
慢步前进 Go softly on.
官长,这些是什么人的军队 good sir, whose powers are these?
他们都是挪威的军队 先生 they are of Norway, sir.
请问他们是开到什么地方去的 How purposed, sir, I pray you?
到波兰的某一部分去 Against some part of Poland.
谁是领兵的主将 Who commands them, sir?
挪威老王的侄儿福丁布拉斯 the nephew of old Norway, Fortinbras.
他们是要向波兰本土进攻呢 还是 Goes it against the main of Poland, sir, or...
-去袭击边疆 -不瞒您说 - for some frontier? - Truly to speak,
我们是要去 and with no addition,
夺一小块徒有虚名 we go to gain a little patch of ground
毫无实利的土地 that hath in it no profit but the name.
叫我出五块钱去把它租下来 我也不要 To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it,
要是把它标卖起来 不管是归挪威 还是归波兰 nor will it yield to Norway or the Polea ranker rate,
也不会得到更多的好处 should it be sold in fee.
啊 那么波兰人一定不会防卫它的了 Why, then the Polack never will defend it.
不 他们早已布防好了 Yes, it is already garrison'd.
为了这一块荒瘠的土地 牺牲了二千人的生命 Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats
二万块的金圆 争执也不会解决 will not debate the question of this straw.
这完全是因为国家富足升平了 This is the imposthume of much wealth
晏安的积毒蕴蓄于内 and peace,
虽然已经到了溃烂的程度 that inward breaks, and shows no cause
外表上却还一点看不出致死的原因来 without why the man dies.
-谢谢您 官长 -上帝和您同在 先生 - I humbly thank you, sir. - God be wi' you, sir.
我们去吧 殿下 Wilt please you go, my lord?
我就来 你们先走一步 I'll be with you straight.
我所见到 听到的一切 Go a little before.
都好像在对我谴责 How all occasions do inform against me,
鞭策我赶快进行我的蹉跎未就的复仇大愿 and spur my dull revenge!
一个人要是把生活的幸福和目的 What is a man,
只看作吃吃睡睡 他还算是个什么东西 if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed?
简直不过是一头畜生 A beast, no more.
上帝造下我们来 Sure, he that made us
使我们能够这样高谈阔论 瞻前顾后 with such large discourse,
当然要我们利用他所赋与我们的 looking before and after,
这一种能力和灵明的理智 gave us not that
不让它们白白废掉 capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused!
现在我明明有理由 有决心 Now, whether it be bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple
有力量 有方法 of thinking too precisely on the event,
可以动手干我所要干的事 a thought which, quarter'd, hath but onepart
可以动手干我所要干的事 wisdom and ever three parts coward,
可是我还是在大言不惭地说"这件事需要作" I do not know why yet I live to say 'This thing's to do',
可是始终不曾在行动上表现出来 sith I have cause and will
我不知道这是因为像鹿豕一般的健忘呢 and strength and means to do't.
还是因为过于审慎 大地一样的榜样都在鼓励我 Examples gross as earth exhort me
瞧这一支勇猛的大军 witness this army of such mass and charge
领队的是一个娇养的少年王子 led by a delicate and tender prince,
勃勃的雄心振起了他的精神 whose spirit with divine ambition puff'd
使他蔑视不可知的结果 makes mouths at the invisible event,
为了区区弹丸大小的一块不毛之地 exposing what is mortal and unsure
拚着血肉之躯 去向命运 死亡 to all that fortune, death and danger dare,
和危险挑战 even for an egg-shell.
真正的伟大不是轻举妄动 Rightly to be great is not to stir without great argument,
而是在荣誉遭遇危险的时候 but greatly to find quarrel in a straw
即使为了一根稻秆之微 也要慷慨力争 when honour's at the stake.
可是我的父亲给人惨杀 我的母亲给人污辱 How stand I then, that have a father kill'd, a mother stain'd,
我的理智和感情都被这种不共戴天的大仇所激动 excitements of my reason and my blood,
我却因循隐忍 一切听其自然 and let all sleep? While, to my shame,
看着这二万个人为了博取一个空虚的名声 I see the imminent death of twenty thousand men,
视死如归地走下他们的坟墓里去 that, for a fantasy and trick of fame,
目的只是争夺一方还不够给他们作战场或埋骨之地 go to their graves like beds,
相形之下 fight for a plot where on the numbers cannot try the cause,
我将何地自容呢 which is not tomb enoug hand continent to hide the slain?
啊 从这一刻起 O, from this time forth,
让我屏除一切的疑虑妄念 my thoughts be bloody,
把流血的思想充满在我的脑际 or be nothing worth!
不幸的事情 When sorrows come, they come not single spies
总是接踵而来 but in battalions.
第一是她父亲的被杀 然后是你儿子的远别 First, her father slain, next, your son gone
他闯了这样大祸 不得不亡命异国 and he most violent author
也是自取其咎 of his own just remove,
人民对于善良的波洛涅斯的暴死 the people muddied, thick and
已经群疑蜂起 议论纷纷 unwhole some in their thoughts and whispers,
我这样匆匆忙忙地把他秘密安葬 for good Polonius' death and we have done
更加引起了外间的疑窦 but greenly, in hugger-mugger to inter him.
可怜的奥菲利娅也因此 Poor Ophelia divided
而伤心得失去了她的正常的理智 from herself and her fair judgment,
不过是画上的图形 无知的禽兽 without the which we arepictures, or mere beasts.
最后 跟这些事情同样使我不安的 Last, and as much containing as all these,
她的哥哥已经从法国秘密回来 her brother is in secret come from France
行动诡异 居心叵测 feeds on his wonder, keeps himself in clouds,
他的耳中所听到的 and wants not buzzers to infect his ear
都是那些播弄是非的人所散播的 with pestilent speeches of
关于他父亲死状的恶意的谣言 这些谣言 his father's death wherein necessity, of matter beggar'd,
由于找不到确凿的事实根据 少不得牵涉到我的身上 will nothing stick our person to arraign in ear and ear.
啊 我的亲爱的乔特鲁德 O my dear Gertrude, this,
这就像一尊厉害的开花炮 like toa murdering-piece, in many places
打得我遍体血肉横飞 死上加死 gives me super fluous death.
-我不愿意跟她说话 -她一定要见您 - I will not speak with her. - She is importunate,
她的神气疯疯癫癫 瞧着怪可怜的 indeed distract, hermood will needs be pitied.
-她要什么 -她不断提起她的父亲 - What would she have? - she speaks much of her father
她说她听见这世上到处是诡计 says she hears there's tricks i'
一边呻吟 一边捶她的心 the world and hems, and beats her heart
对一些琐琐屑屑的事情痛骂 spurns enviously at straws
讲的都是些很玄妙的话 好像有意思 speaks thing sin doubt, that carry but half sense.
又好像没有意思 Her speech is nothing,
她的话虽然不知所云 yet the unshaped use
可是却能使听见的人心中发生反应 of it doth move the hearers to collection
而企图从它里面找出意义来 they aim at it, and botch the words
他们妄加猜测 把她的话断章取义 up fit to their own thoughts which,
用自己的思想附会上去 as her winks, and nods,
当她讲那些话的时候 有时眨眼 and gestures yield them,
有时点头 做着种种的手势 indeed would make one think
的确使人相信在她的言语之间 there might be thought,
含蓄着什么意思 虽然不能确定 though nothing sure,
却可以作一些很不好听的解释 yet much unhappily.
最好有什么人跟她谈谈 Twere good she were spoken with for
最好有什么人跟她谈谈 she may strew dangerous conjectures
因为也许她会在愚妄的脑筋里散布一些危险的猜测 In ill-breeding minds.
让她进来 let her Come in.
我负疚的灵魂惴惴惊惶 To my sick soul,as sin's true nature is,
琐琐细事也像预兆灾殃 each toy seems prologueto some great amiss,
罪恶是这样充满了疑猜 so full of artless jealousy is guilt,
越小心越容易流露鬼胎 it spills itself in fearing to be spilt.
丹麦的美丽的王后陛下呢 Where is the beauteous majesty of Denmark?
-啊 奥菲利娅 -张三李四满街走 - How now, Ophelia! - How should I your true love know
谁是你情郎 from another one?
毡帽在从杖在手 草鞋穿一双 By his cockle hat and staff, and his sandal shoon.
唉 好姑娘 这支歌是什么意思呢 Alas, sweet lady,what imports this song?
您说 Say you? Nay,
请您听好了 pray you, mark.
姑娘 姑娘 他死了 He is dead and gone, lady, he is dead and gone
一去不复来 头上盖着青青草 脚下石生苔 at his head a grass-green turf, at his heels a stone.
-嗳 可是 奥菲利娅 -请您听好了 - Nay, but, Ophelia, - pray you, mark.
殓衾遮体白如雪 White his shroud as the mountain snow,
唉 陛下 您瞧 Alas, look here, My lord.
鲜花红似雨 Larded with sweet flowers,
花上盈盈有泪滴 伴郎坟墓去 which bewept to the grave did go with true -love showers.
你好 美丽的姑娘 How do you, pretty lady?
好 上帝保佑您 Well, God 'ild you!
他们说猫头鹰是一个面包师的女儿变成的 They say the owl was a baker's daughter.
主啊 我们都知道我们现在是什么 Lord, we know what we are,
可是谁也不知道自己将来会变成什么 but know not what we may be.
愿上帝和您同席 God be at your table!
她父亲的死激成了她这种幻想 Conceit upon her father.
对不起 Pray you!
我们再别提这件事了 Let's have no words of this!
要是有人问您这是什么意思 But when they ask you what it means,
您就这样对他说 say you this
情人佳节就在明天 To-morrow is Saint Valentine'sday,
我要一早起身 all in the morning betime,
梳洗齐整到你窗前 and I a maid at your window,
来做你的恋人 to be your Valentine.
他下了床披了衣裳 Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,
他开开了房门 and dupp'd the chamber-door
她进去时是个女郎 出来变了妇人 let in the maid, that out a maid never departed more.
-美丽的奥菲利娅 -真的 - Pretty Ophelia! - Indeed, la,
不用发誓 我会把它唱完 without an oath, I'll make an end on't.
凭着神圣慈悲名字 这种事太丢脸 By Gis and by Saint Charity,alack, and fie for shame!
少年男子不知羞耻 一味无赖纠缠 Young men will do't, if they cometo't by cock, they are to blame.
她说你曾答应娶我 然后再同枕席 Quoth she...
本来确是想这样作 before you tumbled me, you promised me to wed.'
无奈你等不及 So would I ha' done, by yonder sun, an thou hadst not come to my bed.'
她这个样子已经多久了 How long hath she been thus?
我希望一切转祸为福 我们必须忍耐 I hope all will bewell. We must be patient,
可是我一想到他们把他放下寒冷的泥土里去 but I cannot choose but weep,
我就禁不住掉泪 to think they should lay him i' the cold ground.
我的哥哥必须知道这件事 My brother shall know of it,
谢谢你们很好的劝告 and so I thank you for your good counsel.
来 我的马车 Come, my coach!
来 我的马车 晚安 Good night, ladies good night,
太太们 晚安 可爱的小姐们 晚安 sweet ladies good night, good night.
-晚安 可爱的小姐们 -紧紧跟住她 - Sweet ladies, good night! - Follow her close!
留心不要让她闹出乱子来 Give her good watch, I pray you!
啊 深心的忧伤把她害成这样子 O, this is the poison of deep grief
这完全是为了她父亲的死 it springs all from her father's death.
啊 乔特鲁德 乔特鲁德 And now behold! O Gertrude, Gertrude!
-嗳哟 这是什么声音 -我的瑞士卫队呢 - Alack, What noise is this? - Where are My Switzers?
-叫他们把守宫门 什么事 - let them guard the door! - What is the matter?
赶快避一避吧 陛下 Save yourself, my lord.
比大洋中的怒潮冲决堤岸 The ocean, over peering of his list,
席卷平原还要汹汹其势 eatsnot the flats with more impetuous haste
年轻的雷欧提斯带领着一队叛军 than young Laertes, in a riotous head,
打败了您的卫士 冲进宫里来了 o'erbears your officers!
这一群暴徒把他称为主上 The rabble call him lord and,
就像世界还不过刚才开始一般 as the world were now but to begin,
他们推翻了一切的传统和习惯 antiquity forgot, custom not known,
自己制订规矩 擅作主张 the ratifiers and props of every word,
"我们推举雷欧提斯做国王" they cry 'Choose weLaertes shall be king'
他们掷帽举手 吆呼的声音响彻云霄 Caps, hands, and tongues, applaud it to the clouds
"让雷欧提斯做国王 让雷欧提斯做国王" 'Laertes shall be king, Laertes king!'
他们这样兴高采烈 却不知道已经误入歧途 How cheerfully on the false trail they cry!
啊 你们干了错事了 你们这些不忠的丹麦狗 O, this is counter,you false Danish dogs!
宫门都已打破了 The doors are broke.
国王在哪儿 Where is this king?
弟兄们 大家站在外面 Sirs, stand you all without.
不 让我们进来 No, let's come in.
-对不起 请你们听我的话 -好 好 - I pray you, Give me leave. - we will.
谢谢你们 把门看守好了 I thank you. Keep the door.
啊 你这万恶的奸王 还我的父亲来 O thou vile King, Give me My father!
安静一点 好雷欧提斯 Calmly, good Laertes.
我身上要是有一点血安静下来 That drop of blood that'scalm
我就是个野生的杂种 proclaims me bastard,
我就是个野生的杂种 cries cuckold to my father,
我的父亲是个王八 brands the harlot even here,
我的母亲的贞洁的额角上 也要雕上娼妓的恶名 between the chaste unsmirched brow of my true mother.
雷欧提斯 你这样大张声势 What is the cause, Laertes,
兴兵犯上 究竟为了什么原因 thatthy rebellion looks so giant-like?
放了他 乔特鲁德 不要担心他会伤害我的身体 Let him go, Gertrudedo not fear our person
一个君王是有神灵呵护的 there's such divinity doth hedge a king,
叛逆只能在一边蓄意窥伺 作不出什么事情来 that treason can but peep to what it would,
作不出什么事情来 告诉我 acts little of his will. Tell me,
雷欧提斯 你有什么气恼不平的事 Laertes, why thou art thus incensed.
放了他 乔特鲁德 Let him go, Gertrude.
-你说吧 -我的父亲呢 - Speak, man. - Where is My father?
-死了 -但是并不是他杀死的 - Dead. - but Not by him.
-尽他问下去 -他怎么会死的 - let him demand his fill. - How came he dead?
我可不能受人家的愚弄 I'll not be juggled with.
忠心 到地狱里去吧 To hell, all egiance!
让最黑暗的魔鬼把一切誓言抓了去 Vows, to the blackest devil!
什么良心 什么礼貌 都给我滚下无底的深渊里去 Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit!
我要向永劫挑战 我的立场已经坚决 I dare damnation. To this point I stand,
今生怎样 来生怎样 that both the worlds I give to negligence,
我一概不顾 let come what comes
只要痛痛快快地为我的父亲复仇 only I'll berevenged most thoroughly for my father.
有谁阻止你呢 Who shall stay you?
除了我自己的意志以外 全世界也不能阻止我 My will, not all the world!
至于我的力量 And for my means,
我一定要使用得当 叫它事半功倍 I'll husband them so well, they shall go far with little.
好雷欧提斯 要是你想知道你的亲爱的父亲 Good Laertes, if you desire to know thecertainty
究竟是怎样死去的话 of your dear father's death,
难道你复仇的方式是 is't writ in your revenge, that, swoops take,
把朋友和敌人都当作对象 you will draw both friend and foe,
把赢钱的和输钱的赌注都一扫而光吗 winner And loser?
冤有头 债有主 我只要找我父亲的敌人算账 None but his enemies.
那么你要知道谁是他的敌人吗 Will you know them then?
对于他的好朋友 我愿意张开我的手臂拥抱他们 To his good friends thus wide I'll ope my arms
像舍身的鹈鹕一样 and like the kind life-rendering pelican,
把我的血供他们畅饮 repast them with my blood.
现在你才说得像一个孝顺的儿子和真正的绅士 Why, now you speak like a good child and a true gentleman.
我不但对于令尊的死不曾有分 That I am guiltless of your father's death,
而且为此也感觉到非常的悲痛 and am most sensible in grief for it,
这一个事实将会透过你的心 it shall as level to your judgment pierce
正像白昼的阳光照射你的眼睛一样 as day doth to your eye.
放她进去 Let her come in.
怎么 那是什么声音 How now! What noise is that?
啊 赤热的烈焰 炙枯了我的脑浆吧 O heat, dry up my brains!
七倍辛酸的眼泪 Tears seven times salt,
灼伤了我的视觉吧 burn out the sense and virtue of mine eye!
天日在上 我一定要叫那害你疯狂的仇人 By heaven, thy madness shall be paid by weight,
重重地抵偿他的罪恶 till our scale turn the beam.
啊 五月的玫瑰 亲爱的女郎 O rose of May! Dear maid,
好妹妹 kind sister,
奥菲利娅 sweet Ophelia!
天啊 O heavens!
一个少女的理智 Is't possible, a young maid's wits
也会像一个老人的生命一样受不起打击吗 should be as mortal as an old man's life?
人类的天性由于爱情而格外敏感 Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine,
因为是敏感的 所以会把自己最珍贵的部分 it sends some precious instance of itself
舍弃给所爱的事物 after the thing It loves.
他们把他抬上柩架 they bore him barefaced on the bier
哎呀 哎呀 哎哎呀 hey nonny nonny, nonny, hey nonny, nonny, nonny, hey
在他坟上泪如雨下 再会 我的鸽子 and in his grave rain'd manya tear. Fare you well, my dove!
要是你没有发疯而激励我复仇 Hadst thou thy wits, and didst persuade revenge,
你的言语也不会比你现在这样子更使我感动了 It could Not move thus.
你应该唱"当啊当 还叫他啊当啊" you must sing a-down a-down...
当啊当 还叫他啊当啊 An you! Call him! A-down a-down a-down...
哦 这纺轮转动的声音配合得多么好听 O, how the wheel becomes it!
把主人的女儿拐了去了 唱的是那坏良心的管家 It is the false steward, that stole his master's daughter.
这一种无意识的话 比正言危论还要有力得多 This nothing's more than matter.
这是迷迭香 There's rosemary,
表示记忆的 that's for remembrance.
爱人 请你记着吧 Pray, love, remember...
这是表示思想的三色堇 And there is pansies. That's for thoughts.
这疯话很有道理 思想和记忆都提得很合适 A document in madness, thoughts and remembrance fitted.
这是给您的茴香 There's fennel for you,
和漏斗花 and columbines...
这是给您的芸香 这儿还留着一些给我自己 There's rue for you and here's some for me.
我们不妨叫它慈悲草 遇到礼拜天 We may call it herb-grace o' Sundays.
啊 您可以把您的芸香插戴得别致一点 O you must wear your rue with a difference.
这儿是一枝雏菊 我想要给您几朵紫罗兰 There's a daisy. I wouldgive you some violets,
可是我父亲一死 它们全都谢了 but they withered all when my father died.
他们说他死得很好 They say he made a good end,
可爱的罗宾是我的宝贝 For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.
忧愁 痛苦 悲哀和地狱中的磨难 Thought and affliction, passion, hell itself,
在她身上都变成了可怜可爱 she turns to favour and to prettiness.
他会不会再回来 And will he not come again?
不 不 他死了 No, no, he is dead.
你的命难保 Go to thy death-bed,
他再也不会回来 he never will come again.
他的胡须像白银 His beard was as white as snow,
满头黄发乱纷纷 all flaxen was his poll.
人死不能活 He is gone, he is gone,
且把悲声歇 and we cast away moan.
上帝饶赦他灵魂 God ha' mercy on his soul!
求上帝饶赦一切基督徒的灵魂 And of all Christian souls...
上帝和你们同在 I pray God.
上帝啊 God be wi' ye.
你看见这种惨事吗 Do you see this, O God?
雷欧提斯 我必须跟你详细谈谈 Laertes, I must commune with your grief,
关于你所遭逢的不幸 or you deny me right.
你不能拒绝我这一个权利 Go but apart, make choice of whom
你不妨先去选择几个你的最有见识的朋友 your wisest friends you will
请他们在你我两人之间做公正人 and they shall hear and judge 'twixt you and me.
要是他们评断的结果 If by direct or by collateral
认为是我主动或同谋杀害的 hand they find us touch'd,
我愿意放弃我的国土 我的王冠 我的生命 we will our kingdom give, our crown, our life,
以及我所有的一切 作为对你的补偿 and all that we call ours, to you in satisfaction.
可是他们假如认为我是无罪的 But if not, be you content
那么你必须答应助我一臂之力 to lend your patience to us,
让我们两人开诚合作 and we shall jointly labour with
定出一个惩凶的方策来 your soul to give it due content.
就这样吧 Let this be so.
他死得这样不明不白 His means of death,
他的下葬又是这样偷偷摸摸的 his obscure burial...
他的尸体上没有一些战士的荣饰 No trophy, sword, nor hatchment o'er his bones,
也不曾替他举行一些哀祭的仪式 no noble rite nor formal ostentation
从天上到地下都在发出愤懑不平的呼声 cry to be heard, as 'twere from heaven to earth,
我不能不问一个明白 that I must call't in question.
你可以明白一切 谁是真有罪的 So you shall and where the offence is,
让斧钺加在他的头上吧 let the great axe fall.
请你跟我来 I pray you, go with me.
要来见我说话的是些什么人 What are they that would speak with me?
是几个水手 主人 他们说他们有信要交给您 Sailors, sir. They say they have letters for you.
叫他们进来 倘不是哈姆莱特殿下差来的人 I do not know from what part of the world
我不知道在这世上的哪一部分会有人来看我 I should be greeted, if not from Lord Hamlet.
-上帝祝福您 先生 -愿他也祝福你 - God bless you, sir. - let him bless thee too.
他要是高兴 先生 他会祝福我们的 He shall, sir, an't please him.
这儿有一封信给您 先生 There's a letter for you, sir
它是从那位到英国去的钦使寄来的 it comes from the ambassador that was bound for England
要是您的名字果然是霍拉旭的话 if your name be Horatio, as I am let to know it is.
"霍拉旭 你把这封信看过以后 Horatio, when thou shalt have over looked this,
请把来人领去见一见国王 give these fellows some means tothe king
他们还有信要交给他 they have letters for him.
我们在海上的第二天 Ere we were two days old at sea,
就有一艘很凶猛的海盗船向我们追击 a pirate of very war like appointment gave us chase.
我们因为船行太慢 只好勉力迎敌 Finding ourselves too slow of sail,
在彼此相持的时候 we put on a compelled valour,
我跳上了盗船 and in the grapple I boarded them.
他们就立刻抛下我们的船 扬帆而去 On the instant they got clear of our ship
剩下我一个人做他们的俘虏 so I alone became their prisoner.
他们对待我很是有礼 They have dealt with me like thieves of mercy,
可是他们也知道这样作对他们有利 but they knew what they did
我还要重谢他们哩 I am to do a good turn for them.
把我给国王的信交给他以后 Let the king have the letters I have sent
请你就像逃命一般 and repair thou to me with as much haste
火速来见我 as thou wouldst fly death.
我有一些可以使你听了咋舌的话 I have words to speak in thine ear
要在你的耳边说 will make thee dumb
可是事实的本身比这些话还要严重得多 yet are they much too light for the bore of the matter.
来人可以把你带到我现在所在的地方 These good fellows will bring thee where I am.
罗森格兰茨和吉尔登斯吞 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
到英国去了 hold their course for England,
关于他们我还有许多话要告诉你 of them I have much to tell thee.
再会 你的知心朋友哈姆莱特" Farewell. He that thou knowest thine, Hamlet.
来 让我立刻就带你们去把你们的信送出 Come, I will give you way for these your letters
然后请你们尽快领我到 and do't the speedier, that you may
那把这些信交给你们的那个人的地方去 direct me to him from whom you brought them.
你已经用你同情的耳朵 Now must your conscience my acquaintance seal,
听见我告诉你那杀死令尊的人 也在图谋我的生命 and you must put me in your heart for friend,
现在你必须明白我的无罪 sith you have heard,and with a knowing ear,
并且把我当作你的一个心腹的友人了 that he which hath your noble father slain pursued my life.
听您所说 It well appears, but tell me
果然像是真的 可是告诉我 why you proceeded not against these feats,
您自己的安全 长远的谋虑和其他一切 so crimeful and so capital in nature,
都在大力推动您 as by your safety,
为什么您对于这样罪大恶极的暴行 wisdom, all things else,
反而不采取严厉的手段呢 you mainly were stirr'd up.
啊 那是因为有两个理由 O, for two special reasons
也许在你看来是不成其为理由的 which may to you seem much unsinew'd,
可是对于我却有很大的关系 but yet to me they are strong.
王后 他的母亲 The queen his mother
差不多一天不看见他就不能生活 lives almost by his looks
至于我自己 and for myself my virtue ormy plague,
那么不管这是我的好处或是我的致命的弱点 be it either which
我的生命和灵魂是这样跟她连结在一起 she's so conjunctive to my life and soul,
正像星球不能跳出轨道一样 that, as the star moves not but in his sphere,
我也不能没有她而生活 I could not but by her.
而且我所以不能把这件案子公开 The other motive, why to apublic count
还有一个重要的顾虑 I might not go,
一般民众对他都有很大的好感 is the great love the general gender bear him
他们盲目的崇拜 who, dipping all his faults in their affection,
像一道使树木 would, like the spring that turneth wood to stone,
变成石块的魔泉一样 convert his gyves to graces
会把他戴的镣铐也当作光荣 so that my arrows,
我的箭太轻 太没有力了 too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind,
遇到这样的狂风 一定不能射中目的 would have reverted to my bow again,
反而给吹了转来 but not where I had aim'd them.
那么难道我的一个高贵的父亲就这样白白死去 And so have I a noble father lost
一个好好的妹妹就这样白白疯了不成 a sister driven into desperate terms,
如果能允许我赞美她过去的容貌才德 whose worth, if praisesmay go back again,
那简直是可以傲视一世 stood challenger on mount of all the age
睥睨古今的 for her perfections.
可是我的报仇的机会总有一天会到来 But my revenge will come.
不要让这件事扰乱了你的睡眠 Break not your sleeps for that,
你不要以为我是这样一个麻木不仁的人 you must not think that we are made of stuff so flat and dull
会让人家揪着我的胡须 that we can let our beard be shook with danger
还以为这不过是开开玩笑 and think it pastime.
不久你就可以听到消息 You shortly shall hear more.
我爱你父亲 我也爱我自己 I loved your father, and we love ourself
那我希望可以使你想到 and that, I hope, will teach you to imagine...
啊 什么消息 How now! what news?
启禀陛下 是哈姆莱特寄来的信 Letters, my lord, from Hamlet.
这一封是给陛下的 这一封是给王后的 this to your majesty this to the queen.
哈姆莱特寄来的 是谁把它们送到这儿来的 From Hamlet! Who brought them?
他们说是几个水手 陛下 我没有看见他们 Sailors, my lord, they say. I saw them not.
这两封信是克劳狄奥交给我的 They were given me by Claudio hereceived them
来人把信送在他手里 of him that brought them.
雷欧提斯 你可以听一听这封信 出去 Laertes, you shall hear them. Leave us.
"陛下 我已经光着身子回到您的国土上来了 High and mighty, You shall know I am set naked on your kingdom.
明天我就要请您允许我拜谒御容 To -morrow shall I beg leaveto see your kingly eyes.
让我先向您告 When I shall, first asking your pardon
我的不召而返之罪 there unto, recount the occasion
然后再向您禀告我这次突然意外回国的原因 of my sudden and more strange return.
哈姆莱特敬上" Hamlet.'
这是什么意思 同去的人也都一起回来了吗 What should this mean? Are all the rest come back?
还是有什么人在捣鬼 事实上并没有这么一回事 Or is it some abuse, and no such thing?
-您认识这笔迹吗 -这确是哈姆莱特的亲笔 - Know you the hand? - 'Tis Hamlets character.
"光着身子"这儿还附着一笔 说是"一个人回来" Naked!' And in a post scripthere, he says 'Alone.'
-你看他是什么用意 -我可不懂 陛下 - Can you advise me? - I'm lost in it, my lord.
可是他来得正好 But let him come!
我一想到我能够有这样一天 It warms the very sickness in my heart, that I shall live
当面申斥他 and tell him to his teeth,
-"你干的好事" -要是果然这样的话 - 'thus didest thou.' - If it be so, Laertes
可是怎么会这样呢 然而 此外又如何解释呢 as how should it be so? How other wise?
雷欧提斯 你愿意听我的吩咐吗 Will you be ruled by me?
愿意 陛下 只要您不勉强我跟他和解 Ay, my lord if you so no to'errule me to a peace.
我是要使你自己心里得到平安 To thine own peace.
要是他现在中途而返 If he be now return'd,as checking at his voyage,
不预备再作这样的航行 and that he means no more to undertake it,
那么我已经想好了一个计策 I will work him to anexploit,
怂恿他去作一件事情 now ripe in my device,
一定可以叫他自投罗网 under the which he shall not choose but fall,
而且他死了以后 谁也不能讲一句闲话 and for his death no wind of blame shall breathe,
即使他的母亲也不能觉察我们的诡计 but even his mother shall uncharge the practise
只好认为是一件意外的灾祸 and call it accident.
陛下 我愿意服从您的指挥 My lord, I will be ruled the rather,
最好请您设法让他死在我的手里 if you could devise it so that I might be the organ.
我正是这样计划 自从你到国外游学以后 It falls right. You have been talk'd of since your travels much,
人家常常说起你有一种特长的本领 and that in Hamlet's hearing,
这种话哈姆莱特也是早就听到过的 for aquality wherein, they say, you shine.
虽然在我的意见之中 Your sum of parts did not together
这不过是你所有的才艺中间最不足道的一种 pluck such envy from him as did that one,
可是你的一切才艺的总和 and that, in my regard,
都不及这一种本领更能挑起他的妒忌 of the unworthiest siege.
是什么本领呢 陛下 What part is that, my lord?
它虽然不过是装饰在少年人帽上的一条缎带 A very riband in the cap of youth,
但也是少不了的 yet needful too
因为年轻人应该装束得华丽潇洒一些 for youth no less becomes the light
表示他的健康活泼 and careless livery that it wears
正像老年人应该装束得朴素大方一些 than settled age his sables and his weeds,
表示他的矜严庄重一样 importing health and graveness.
两个月以前 这儿来了一个诺曼绅士 Two months since, here was a gentleman of Normandy.
我自己曾经见过法国人 和他们打过仗 I've seen myself, and served against, the French,
他们都是很精于骑术的 and they can well on horse back,
可是这位好汉简直有不可思议的魔力 but this gallant had witch craft in't,
他骑在马上 he grew unto his seat
好像和他的坐骑化成了一体似的 and to such wondrous doing brought his horse,
随意驰骤 as he had been incorpsed and
无不出神入化 demi-natured with the brave beast.
他的技术是那样远超过我的预料 So far he topp'd my thought,
无论我杜撰一些怎样夸大的辞句 that I, in forgery of shapes and tricks,
都不够形容它的奇妙 come short of what he did.
-是个诺曼人吗 -是诺曼人 - A Norman was't? - A Norman.
-那么一定是拉摩德了 -正是他 - upon My life, Lamond. - the very same.
我认识他 I know him well,
他的确是全国知名的勇士 he is the brooch indeed and gem of all the nation.
他承认你的武艺很了不得 He made confession of you
对于你的剑术 and gave you such a masterly report
尤其极口称赞 for art and exercise in your defence
说是倘有人能够和你对敌 and for your rapier most especially,
那一定大有可观 that he cried out, 't would be asight indeed,
他发誓说他们国里的剑士 if one could match you
要是跟你交起手来 the scrimers of their nation, he swore,
一定会眼花撩乱 had had neither motion, guard, nor eye,
全然失去招架之功 if you opposed them, sir.
他对你的这一番夸奖 使哈姆莱特妒恼交集 This report of his did Hamlet so envenom with his envy
一心希望你快些回来 that he could nothing do but wish and
跟他比赛一下 beg your sudden coming o'er, to play with him.
-从这一点上 -从这一点上怎么 陛下 - now, out of this, - What out of this, My lord?
雷欧提斯 你真爱你的父亲吗 Laertes, was your father dear to you?
还是不过是做作出来的悲哀 Or are you like the painting of a sorrow,
-只有表面 没有真心 -您为什么这样问我 - a face Without a heart? - Why ask you this?
我不是以为你不爱你的父亲 Not that I think you did not love your father
可是我知道爱不过起于一时感情的冲动 but that I know love is begun by time
经验告诉我 经过了相当时间 and that I see, in pass ages of proof,
它是会逐渐冷淡下去的 time qualifies the spark and fire of it.
爱像一盏油灯 there lives within the very flame of love
灯芯烧枯以后 它的火焰也会由微暗而至于消灭 a kind of wick or snuff that will abate it
一切事情都不能永远保持良好 and nothing is at a like goodness still
因为过度的善反会摧毁它的本身 for goodness, growing to aplurisy,
正像一个人因充血而死去一样 dies in his own too much.
我们所要做的事 应该一想到就做 That we would do we should do when we would.
因为人的想法是会变化的 for this 'would' changes and hath abatements and delays
有多少舌头 多少手 多少意外 as many as there are tongues,
就会有多少犹豫 多少迟延 are hands, are accidents
那时候再空谈该作什么 and then this 'should'
只不过等于聊以自慰的长吁短叹 is like a spend thrift sigh,
只能伤害自己的身体罢了 that hurts by easing.
可是回到我们所要谈论的中心问题上来吧 But, to the quick o' the ulcer,
哈姆莱特回来了 Hamlet comes back.
你预备怎样用行动代替言语 What would you undertake,
表明你自己的确是 to show yourself in deedyour father's son
你父亲的孝子呢 more than in words?
我要在教堂里割破他的喉咙 To cut his throat i' the church.
当然 无论什么所在都不能庇护一个杀人的凶手 No place, indeed,should murder sanctuarize.
复仇应该不受地点的限制 Revenge should have no bounds.
可是 好雷欧提斯 你要是果然志在复仇 But, good Laertes, will you do this?
还是住在自己家里不要出来 Keep close within your chamber.
哈姆莱特回来以后 Hamlet return'd shall know you are come home.
我们可以让他知道你也已经回来 We'll put on those shall praise your excellence
叫几个人在他的面前夸奖你的本领 and set a double varnish
把你说得比那法国人所讲的还要了不得 on the fame the French mangave you,
怂恿他和你作一次比赛 bring you in fine together
赌个输赢 and wager on your heads.
他是个粗心的人 一向厚道 He, being remiss, most generous and
想不到人家在算计他 free from all contriving,
一定不会仔细检视比赛用的刀剑的利钝 will not peruse the foils so that, with ease,
你只要预先把一柄利剑混杂在里面 or with a little shuffling,
趁他没有注意的时候不动声色地自己拿了 you may choose a sword unbated,
在比赛之际 看准他的要害刺了过去 and in a pass of practisere
就可以替你的父亲报了仇了 quite him for your father.
我愿意这样做 I will do't,
为了达到复仇的目的 and, for that purpose,
我还要在我的剑上涂一些毒药 I'll anoint my sword.
我已经从一个卖药人手里买到一种致命的药油 I bought an unction of a mounte bank,
只要在剑头上沾了一滴 刺到人身上 so mortal that, but dip a knifein it,
它一碰到血 where it draws blood
即使只是擦破了一些皮肤 no cataplasm so rare, collected from all simples
也会毒性发作 that have virtue under the moon,
无论什么灵丹仙草 都不能挽救 can save the thing from death that is but scratch'd withal.
我就去把剑尖蘸上这种烈性毒剂 I'll touch my point with this contagion,
只要我刺破他一点 that, if I gall him slightly,
-就叫他送命 -让我们再考虑考虑 - it may be death. - Let's further think of this
看时间和机会能够给我们什么方便 weigh what convenience both of time and means may fit us to our shape.
要是这一个计策会失败 If this should fail,
要是我们会在行动之间露出破绽 and that our drift look through our bad performance,
那么还是不要尝试的好 'twere better not assay'd,
为了预防失败起见 therefore this project should have a back or second,
我们应该另外再想一个万全之计 that might hold, if this should blast in proof.
且慢 让我想来 Soft! Let me see,
我们可以对你们两人的胜负打赌 we'll make a solemn wager on your cunnings.
啊 有了 I ha't.
你在跟他交手的时候 必须使出你全副的精神 When in your motion you are hot and dry
使他疲于奔命 as make your bouts more violent to that end
等他口干烦躁 要讨水喝的当儿 and that he calls for drink,
我就为他预备好一杯毒酒 I'll have prepared him a chalice for the nonce,
万一他逃过了你的毒剑 只要他让酒沾唇 whereon but sipping, if he by chance escape your venom'd stuck,
我们的目的也就同样达到了 且慢 什么声音 our purpose may hold there. But stay, what noise?
啊 亲爱的王后 How now, sweet queen!
一桩祸事刚刚到来 又有一桩接踵而至 One woe doth tread upon another'sheel, so fast they follow.
你的妹妹掉在水里淹死了 Your sister's drown'd,
雷欧提斯 Laertes.
淹死了 Drown'd!
啊 O...
在哪儿 Where?
在小溪之旁 斜生着一株杨柳 There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
它的枝叶倒映在明镜一样的水流之中 that shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
她编了几个奇异的花环来到那里 There with fantastic garlands did she make
用的是毛茛 荨麻 雏菊和长颈兰 of crow -flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples
正派的姑娘管这种花叫死人指头 that liberal she pherds give a grosser name,
说粗话的牧人却给它起了另一个不雅的名字 but our cold maids do deadmen's fingers call them.
她爬上一根横垂的树枝 There, on the pendent boughs
想要把她的花冠挂在上面 her coronet weeds
就在这时候 一根心怀恶意的树枝折断了 clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke
她就连人带花一起落下呜咽的溪水里 when down her weedy trophies andherself fell in the weeping brook.
她的衣服四散展开 Her clothes spread wide
使她暂时像人鱼一样漂浮水上 and, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up,
她嘴里还断断续续唱着古老的谣曲 which time she chanted snatches of old tunes
好像一点不感觉到她处境的险恶 as one incapable of her own distress,
又好像她本来就是生长在水中一般 or like a creature native and indued unto that element.
她的衣服给水浸得重起来了 But long it could not be till that her garments,
这可怜的人 heavy with their drink,
歌儿还没有唱完 就已经沉到泥里去了 pull'd the poor wretch from hermelodious lay to muddy death.
-唉 那么她淹死了吗 -淹死了 - Alas, then, she is drown'd? - Drown'd.
淹死了 Drown'd.
太多的水淹没了你的身体 可怜的奥菲利娅 Too much of water hastthou, poor Ophelia,
所以我必须忍住我的眼泪 and therefore I forbid my tears,
可是人类的常情是不能遏阻的 but yet it is our trick.
我掩饰不了心中的悲哀 Nature her custom holds,
只好顾不得惭愧了 当我们的眼泪干了以后 let shame say what itwill. When these are gone,
我们的妇人之仁也会随着消灭的 the woman will be out.
再会 陛下 Adieu, my lord.
我有一段炎炎欲焚的烈火般的话 I have a speech of fire, that fain would blaze,
可是我的傻气的眼泪把它浇熄了 but that this folly douts it.
让我们跟上去 乔特鲁德 Let's follow, Gertrude.
我好容易才把他的怒气平息了一下 How much I had to do to calm his rage!
现在我怕又要把它挑起来了 Now fear I this will give it start again.
快 Therefore...
让我们跟上去吧 let's follow!
她存心自己脱离人世 Is she to be buried in Christian burial
却要照基督徒的仪式下葬吗 that wilfully seeks her own salvation?
我对你说是的 所以你赶快把她的坟掘好吧 I tell thee she is, and therefore make her grave straight.
验尸官已经验明她的死状 The crowner hath sat on her,
宣布应该按照基督徒的仪式把她下葬 and finds it Christian burial.
这可奇了 难道她是因为自卫而跳下水里的吗 How can that be, unless she drowned herself in her own defence?
-他们验明是这样的 -那一定是为了自毁 —Why, 'tis found so. - It must be 'se offenden do',
不可能有别的原因 因为问题是这样的 it cannot be else. For here lies the point
要是我有意投水自杀 if I drown myself wittingly,
那必须成立一个行为 一个行为可以分为三部分 it argues an act, and an act hath three branches
那就是干 行 做 it is, to act, to do, to performargal,
所以 她是有意投水自杀的 she drowned herself wittingly.
-嗳 你听我说 -让我说完 - Nay, but hear you, good man delver, - Give me leave.
这儿是水 好 Here lies the water, good.
这儿站着人 好 Here stands the man. Good.
要是这个人跑到这个水里 If the man go to this water,
把他自己淹死了 那么 and drown himself, it is,
不管他自己愿不愿意 总是他自己跑下去的 will he, nill he, he goes,
你听见了没有 可是 mark you that. But
要是那水来到他的身上把他淹死了 if the water come to him and drown him,
那就不是他自己把自己淹死 he drowns not himself. Argal,
所以 对于他自己的死无罪的人 he that is not guilty of his own death,
并没有缩短他自己的生命 shortens not his own life.
法律上是这样说的吗 but is this law?
嗯 是的 这是验尸官的验尸法 Ay, marry, is't. Crowner's quest law.
说一句老实话 Will you ha' the truth on't?
要是死的不是一位贵家女子 If this had not been a gentlewoman,
他们决不会按照基督徒的仪式把她下葬的 she should have been buried out o' Christian burial.
对了 你说得有理 Why, there thou say'st,
有财有势的人 就是要投河上吊 and the more pity that great folk
比起他们同教的基督徒来 should have countenance in this
也可以格外通融 world to drown or hang themselves, more
世上的事情真是太不公平了 than their even Christian.
来 我的锄头 Come, my spade.
要讲家世最悠久的人 There is no ancient gentleman
就得数种地的 开沟的和掘坟的 but gardeners, ditchers, and grave -makers
-他们都继承着亚当的行业 -亚当也算世家吗 - they hold up Adam's profession. - Was he a gentleman?
自然要算 他在创立家业方面很有两手呢 he was the first that ever bore arms.
他有什么两手 Why, he had none.
怎么 你是个异教徒吗 你的圣经是怎么念的 What, art a heathen? How dost thou understand the Scripture?
圣经上说亚当掘地 没有两手 能够掘地吗 The Scripture says 'Adam digged'. Could he dig without arms?
让我再问你一个问题 I'll put another question to thee
要是你回答得不对 那么你就承认你自己 if thou answerest me not to the purpose, confess thyself.
-你问吧 -谁造出东西来比泥水匠 - go to. - What is he that builds stronger
船匠或是木匠更坚固 than either the mason,the shipwright, or the carpenter?
造绞架的人 The gallows-maker
因为一千个寄寓在上面的人都已经先后死去 for that frame outl ivesa
它还是站在那儿动都不动 thous and tenants.
我很喜欢你的聪明 真的 绞架是很合适的 I like thy wit well, in good faith the gallows does well
是它怎么是合适的 but how does it well?
它对于那些有罪的人是合适的 It does well to those that do ill
你说绞架造得比教堂还坚固 now thou dost ill to say the gallows is
说这样的话是罪过的 built stronger than the church,
所以 绞架对于你是合适的 argal, the gallows may do well to thee.
来 重新说过 To't again, come.
谁造出东西来比泥水匠 船匠或是木匠更坚固 Who builds stronger than a mason, a shipwright, or a carpenter?'
嗯 你回答了这个问题 我就让你下工 Ay, tell me that, And unyoke.
呃 现在我知道了 marry, now I can tell.
说吧 To't.
真的 我可回答不出来 Mass, I cannot tell.
别尽绞你的脑汁了 Cudgel thy brains no more about it,
懒驴子是打死也走不快的 for your dull ass will not mend his pace with beating
下回有人问你这个问题的时候 and, when you are asked this question next,
你就对他说"掘坟的人" say 'a grave-maker'
因为他造的房子是可以一直住到世界末日的 the houses that he makes last till doomsday.
去 到约翰的酒店里 Go, get thee to Yaughan,
去给我倒一杯酒来 fetch me a stoup of liquor.
年轻时候最爱偷情 In youth, when I did love, did love,
觉得那事很有趣味 methought it was very sweet,
规规矩矩学做好人 to contract, o, the time, for, ah, my behove,
在我看来太无意义 o, methought, there was nothing meet.
这家伙难道对于他的工作一点没有什么感觉 Has this fellow no feeling of his business,
在掘坟的时候还会唱歌吗 that he sings at grave-making?
他做惯了这种事 所以不以为意 Custom hath made it inhim a property of easiness.
正是 不大劳动的手 Tis e'en so the hand of little employment
它的感觉要比较灵敏一些 hath the daintier sense.
谁料如今岁月潜移 But age, with his stealing steps,
老景催人急于星火 hath claw'd me in his clutch,
两腿挺直 一命归西 and hath shipped me intil the land,
世上原来不曾有我 as if I had never been such.
那个骷髅里面曾经有一条舌头 它也会唱歌哩 That skull had a tonguein it, and could sing once.
瞧这家伙把它摔在地上 How the knave jowls it to the ground,
好像它是第一个杀人凶手该隐的颚骨似的 as if it were Cain's jaw -bone,
它也许是一个政客的头颅 that did the first murder!
现在却让这蠢货把它丢来踢去 It might be the pate of a politician,
也许他生前是个偷天换日的好手 which this ass now o'er-reaches onethat would circumvent God,
你看是不是 might it not?
-也许是的 殿下 -也许是一个朝臣 - It might, My lord. - or of a courtier
他会说"早安 大人 您好 大人" which could say 'Good morrow,sweet lord! How dost thou, good lord?'
也许他就是某大人 This might be my lord such-a-one,
嘴里称赞某大人的马好 that praised my lord such-a-one's horse,
心里却想把它讨了来 你看是不是 when he meant to beg It might It not?
是 殿下 Ay, My lord.
啊 正是 现在却让蛆虫伴寝 Why, e'en so, and now my Lady Worm's
他的下巴也脱掉了 chapless, and knocked about the
一柄工役的锄头可以在他头上敲来敲去 mazzard with a sexton's spade.
从这种变化上 我们大可看透了生命的无常 Here's fine revolution, anwe had the trick to see't.
难道这些枯骨生前受了那么多的教养 Did these bones cost no more the breeding,
死后却只好给人家当木块一般抛着玩吗 but to play at loggats with 'em?
想起来真是怪不好受的 Mine ache to think on't.
又是一个 谁知道那不会是一个律师的骷髅 There's another why may notthat be the skull of a lawyer?
他的玩弄刀笔的手段 Where be his quiddities now,
颠倒黑白的雄辩 his quillets, his cases, his tenures,
现在都到哪儿去了 and his tricks?
为什么他让这个放肆的家伙 Why does he suffer this rude knave now
用龌龊的铁铲敲他的脑壳 to knock him about the sconce with a dirty shovel,
不去控告他一个殴打罪 and will not tell him of his action of battery?
这家伙生前也许曾经买下许多地产 This fellow might be in's time a great buyer of land,
开口闭口用那些条文 具结 罚款 with his statutes, his recognizances, his fines,
双重保证 赔偿一类的名词吓人 his double vouchers, his recoveries...
现在他的脑壳里塞满了泥土 Is this the fine of his fines,and the recovery of his recoveries,
这就算是他所取得的罚款和最后的赔偿了吗 to have his fine pate full of fine dirt?
他的双重保证人难道不能保他再多买点地皮 Will his vouchers vouch him no more of his purchases,
只给他留下和那种一式二份的契约 and double ones too, than the lengt hand
同样大小的一块地面吗 breadth of a pair of indentures?
这个小木头匣子 The very conveyances of his lands
原来要装他土地的字据都恐怕装不下 will scarcely lie in this box
如今地主本人却也只能有这么一点地盘 哈 and must the in heritor himself have no more, ha?
不能比这再多一点了 殿下 Not a jot more, My lord.
契约纸不是用羊皮作的吗 is not parchment made of sheepskins?
是的 殿下 也有用牛皮作的 Ay, my lord, and of calf-skins too.
我看痴心指靠那些玩意儿的人 They are sheep and calves which
比牲口聪明不了多少 seek out assurance in that.
就要去跟这家伙谈谈 I will speak to this fellow.
-大哥,这是谁的坟 -我的,先生 - Whose grave's this, sirrah? - Mine, sir.
挖松泥土深深掘下 掘了个坑招待客人 O, a pit of clay for to be made for such a guest is meet.
我看也是你的 因为你在里头胡闹 I think it be thine, indeed for thou liest in't.
您在外头也不老实 先生 所以这坟不是您的 You lie out on't, sir, and therefore it is not yours.
至于说我 我倒没有在里头胡闹 For my part, I do not liein't,
可是这坟的确是我的 and yet it is mine.
你在里头 又说是你的 Thou dost lie in't, to bein't
这就是"在里头胡闹" and say it is thine
因为挖坟是为死人 tis for the dead,
不是为会蹦会跳的活人 所以说你胡闹 not for the quick therefore thou liest.
这套胡闹的话果然会蹦会跳 先生 Tis a quick lie, sir
等会儿又该从我这里跳到您那里去了 't will away gain, from me to you.
你是在给什么人挖坟 是个男人吗 What man dost thou dig It for?
不是男人 先生 for no man, sir.
-那么是个女人 -也不是女人 - What woman, then? - for None, neither.
那么谁葬在这里面 Who is to be buried in't?
先生 她本来是一个女人 One that was a woman, sir
可是上帝让她的灵魂得到安息 她已经死了 but, rest her soul, she's dead.
这混蛋倒会分辨得这样清楚 How absolute the knave is!
我们讲话可得字斟句酌 精心推敲 We must speak by the card,
稍有含糊 就会出丑 or equivocation will undo us.
凭着上帝发誓 霍拉旭 By the Lord, Horatio,
我觉得这三年来 these three years I have taken a note
人人都越变越精明 of it the age is grown so picked
庄稼汉的脚趾头 that the toe of the peasant
已经挨近朝廷贵人的脚后跟 comes so near the heel of the courtier,
可以磨破那上面的冻疮了 he gaffs his kibe.
你做这掘墓的营生 已经多久了 How long hast thou been a grave-maker?
我开始干这营生 Of all the days i' the year,
是在我们的老王爷哈姆莱特打败福丁布拉斯那一天 I came to't that day that our last king Hamlet over came Fortinbras.
-那是多久以前的事 -你不知道吗 - How long is that since? - cannot you tell that?
每一个傻子都知道的 Every fool can tell that
那正是小哈姆莱特出世的那一天 it was the very day that young Hamlet was born,
就是那个发了疯给他们送到英国去的 he that is mad, and sent into England.
嗯 对了 为什么他们叫他到英国去 Ay, marry, Why was he sent Into England?
就是因为他发了疯呀 Why, because he was mad.
他到英国去 他的疯病就会好的 He shall recover his wits there or,
即使疯病不会好 在那边也没有什么关系 if he do not, it's no great matter there.
-为什么 -英国人不会把他当作疯子 - Why? - 'Twill not be seen in him there
他们都跟他一样疯 there the men are as mad as he.
-他怎么会发疯 -人家说得很奇怪 - How came he mad? - very strangely, they say.
-怎么奇怪 -他们说他神经有了毛病 - How strangely? - Faith, e'en with losing his wits.
-从哪里来的 -还不就是从丹麦本地来的 - upon what ground? - Why, here In Denmark?
我在本地干这掘墓的营生 I have been sexton here,
从小到大 一共有三十年了 man and boy, thirty years.
一个人埋在地下 要经过多少时候才会腐烂 How long will a man liei' the earth ere he rot?
假如他不是在未死以前就已经腐烂 I' faith, if he be not rotten before he die
就如现在有的是害杨梅疮死去的尸体 as we have many pocky corsesnow-a-days, that will scarce
简直抬都抬不下去 hold the laying in he will last you some
他大概可以过八九年 eight year or nine year.
一个硝皮匠在九年以内不会腐烂 a tanner will last you nine year.
为什么他要比别人长久一些 Why he more than another?
因为 先生 他的皮硝得比人家的硬 Why, sir, his hide isso tanned with his trade,
可以长久不透水 that he will keep out water a great while
倒霉的尸体一碰到水 是最会腐烂的 and your water is a sore decayer of your whoreson dead body.
这儿又是一个骷髅 Here's a skull now.
这骷髅已经埋在地下二十三年了 This skull has lain in the earth three and twenty years.
-它是谁的骷髅 -是个婊子养的疯小子 - Whose was it? - A whore son mad fellow's it was.
-你猜是谁 -不 我猜不出 - whose Do you think It was? - Nay, I know not.
这个遭瘟的疯小子 A pestilence on him for a mad rogue!
他有一次把一瓶葡萄酒倒在我的头上 Hepoured a flagon of Rhenish on my head once.
这一个骷髅 先生 This same skull, sir,
是国王的弄人郁利克的骷髅 was Yorick's skull, the king's jester.
-这就是他 -正是他 - This? - E'en that.
让我看 Let me see.
唉 Alas,
可怜的郁利克 poor Yorick!
霍拉旭 我认识他 I knew him, Horatio
他是一个最会开玩笑 a fellow of infinite jest,
非常富于想象力的家伙 of most excellent fancy.
他曾经把我负在背上一千次 He hath borne me on his back a thousand times
现在我一想起来 and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!
却忍不住胸头作恶 my gorge rises at it.
这儿本来有两片嘴唇 我不知吻过它们多少次 Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft.
现在你还会挖苦人吗 你还会蹦蹦跳跳 Where be your gibes now?
逗人发笑吗 你还会唱歌吗 Your gambols? Your songs?
你还会随口编造一些笑话 Your flashes of merriment,
说得满座捧腹吗 that were wont to set the table on a roar?
你没有留下一个笑话 讥笑你自己吗 Not one now, to mock your own grinning?
这样垂头丧气了吗 Quite chap-fallen?
现在你给我到小姐的闺房里去 Now get you to my lady's chamber,
对她说 凭她脸上的脂粉搽得一寸厚 and tell her, let her paint an inchthick,
到后来总要变成这个样子的 to this favour she must come.
你用这样的话告诉她 看她笑不笑吧 Make her laugh at that.
霍拉旭 请你告诉我一件事情 Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.
什么事情 殿下 What's that, my lord?
你想亚历山大在地下也是这副形状吗 Dost thou think Alexander looked o' this fashion i' the earth?
也是这样 E'en so.
也有同样的臭味吗 呸 And smelt so? pah!
也有同样的臭味 殿下 E'en so, my lord.
谁知道我们将来会变成什么贱东西 霍拉旭 To what base uses wemay return, Horatio!
要是我们用想象推测下去 Why may not imagination trace
谁知道亚历山大的高贵的尸体 the noble dust of Alexander,
不就是塞在酒桶口上的泥土 till he find it stopping a bung-hole?
那未免太想入非非了 Twere to consider toocuriously, to consider so.
不 一点不 No, faith, not a jot but to
我们可以不作怪论 follow him thither with modesty enough,
合情合理地推想他怎样会到那个地步 比方说吧 and likelihood to lead it, as thus
亚历山大死了 亚历山大埋葬了 Alexander died, Alexander was buried,
亚历山大化为尘土 Alexander returneth to dust the dust is earth
人们把尘土做成烂泥 of earth we make loam and why of that loam,
那么为什么亚历山大所变成的烂泥 where to he was converted,
不会被人家拿来塞在啤酒桶的口上呢 ? might they not stop a beer-barrel?
西泽死了 你尊严的尸体 Imperious Caesar, dead and turn'd to clay,
也许变了泥把破墙填砌 might stop a hole to keep the wind away.
啊 他从前是何等的英雄 O, that that earth, which kept the world in awe,
现在只好替人挡雨遮风 should patch a wall to expel the winter's flaw!
可是不要作声 But soft!
不要作声 站开 But soft! Aside,
国王来了 王后和朝臣们也都来了 here comes the king, the queen, the courtiers.
他们是送什么人下葬呢 Who is this they follow?
仪式又是这样草率的 And with such maimed rites?
瞧上去好像他们所送葬的那个人 This doth be token the corse they follow did
是自杀而死的 with desperate hand fordo its own life,
同时又是个很有身分的人 'twas of some estate.
让我们躲在一旁瞧瞧他们 Couch we a while, and mark.
-还有些什么仪式 -那是雷欧提斯 - What ceremony else? - That is Laertes,
一个很高贵的青年 听着 a very noble youth. Mark.
还有些什么仪式 What ceremony else?
她的葬礼已经超过了她所应得的名分 Her obsequies have been as faren larged as we have warrantise.
她的死状很是可疑 Her death was doubtful
倘不是因为我们迫于权力 and, but that great command o'ersways the order,
按例就该把她安葬在圣地以外 she should in ground unsanctified
直到最后审判的喇叭吹召她起来 have lodged till the last trumpet
我们不但不应该替她祷告 for charitable prayers, shards,
并且还要用砖瓦碎石丢在她坟上 flintsand pebbles should be thrown on her
可是现在我们已经允许给她处女的葬礼 yet here she has her virgin rights,
用花圈盖在她的身上 her maiden strewments
替她散播鲜花 鸣钟送她入土 这还不够吗 and the bringing home of bell and burial.
难道不能再有其他仪式了吗 Must there no more be done?
不能再有其他仪式了 No more be done,
要是我们为她唱安魂曲 we should profane the service of the dead to sing a requiem
就像对于一般平安死去的灵魂一样 and such rest to her as
那就要亵渎了教规 to peace-parted souls.
把她放下泥土里去 Lay her i' the earth
愿她的娇美无瑕的肉体上 and from her fair and unpolluted
生出芬芳馥郁的紫罗兰来 flesh may violets spring!
我告诉你 你这下贱的教士 I tell thee, churlish priest!
我的妹妹将要做一个天使 A ministering angel shall my sister be,
你死了却要在地狱里呼号 when thou liest howling.
什么 What,
美丽的奥菲利娅吗 the fair Ophelia!
好花是应当散在美人身上的 永别了 Sweets to the sweet farewell!
我本来希望你做我的哈姆莱特的妻子 I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife
这些鲜花本来要铺在你的新床上 亲爱的女郎 I thought thy bride -bedto have deck'd, sweet maid,
谁想得到我要把它们散在你的坟上 and not have strew'd thy grave.
啊 但愿千百重的灾祸 O, treble woe
降临在害得你精神错乱的 fall ten times trebleon that cursed head,
那个该死的恶人的头上 whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense deprived thee of!
等一等 不要就把泥土盖上去 Hold off the earth awhile, till I have caught her once more
让我再拥抱她一次 in mine arms!
现在把你们的泥土倒下来 Now pile your dust
把死的和活的一起掩埋了吧 upon the quick and dead,
让这块平地上堆起一座高山 till of this flat a mountain you have made,
那古老的丕利恩和苍秀插天的 to o'ertop old Pelion, or the
俄林波斯都要俯伏在它的足下 skyish head of blue Olympus.
哪一个人的心里装载得下这样沉重的悲伤 What is he whose grief bears such an emphasis?
哪一个人的哀恸的辞句 Whose phrase of sorrow conjures the wandering stars,
可以使天上的行星惊疑止步 and makes them stand like wonder -wounded hearers?
那是我 丹麦王子哈姆莱特 This is I, Hamlet the Dane.
魔鬼抓了你的灵魂去 The devil take thy soul!
你祷告错了 请你不要掐住我的头颈 Thou pray'st not well. I prithee,take thy fingers from my throat
因为我虽然不是一个暴躁易怒的人 for, though I am not splenitive and rash,
可是我的火性发作起来 yet have I in me something
是很危险的 你还是不要激恼我吧 which let thy wiseness fear.
放开你的手 Hold off thy hand!
-把他们扯开 -哈姆莱特 哈姆莱特 - Pluck them asunder. - Hamlet, Hamlet!
好殿下 安静点儿 good My lord, be quiet.
嘿 我愿意为了这个题目跟他决斗 Why I will fight with him upon this theme
直到我的眼皮不再睒动 until my eyelids will no longer wag.
啊 我的孩子 什么题目 O my son, what theme?
我爱奥菲利娅 I loved Ophelia!
四万个兄弟的爱合起来 Forty thous and brothers could not,
还抵不过我对她的爱 with all their quantity of love,
你愿意为她干些什么事情 make up my sum. Whatwilt thou do for her?
啊 他是个疯人 雷欧提斯 O, he is Mad, Laertes.
看在上帝的情分上 不要跟他认真 for love of God, forbear him.
哼 让我瞧瞧你会干些什么事 Swounds, show me what thou'lt do
你会哭吗 你会打架吗 你会绝食吗 woo't weep? Woo't fight? Woo't fast?
你会撕破你自己的身体吗 woo't tear thy self?
你会喝一大缸醋吗 你会吃一条鳄鱼吗 Woo't drink up eisel? Eat a crocodile?
我都做得到 你是到这儿来哭泣的吗 I'll do't. Dost thou come here to whine?
你跳下她的坟墓里 是要当面羞辱我吗 To out face me with leaping in her grave?
你跟她活埋在一起 Be buried quick with her, and so will I.
我也会跟她活埋在一起 And, if thou prate of mountains,
要是你还要夸说什么高山大岭 let them throw millions of acres on us,
那么让他们把几百万亩的泥土堆在我们身上 till our ground,
直到把我们的地面堆得高到可以被"烈火天"烧焦 singeing his pateagainst the burning zone,
让巍峨的奥萨山在相形之下变得只像一个瘤那么大吧 make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth,
嘿 你会吹 我就不会吹吗 I'll rant as well as thou.
这不过是他一时的疯话 This is mere madness, and thus awhile the fit will work on him
可是等一会儿 anon, as patient as the female dove,
他就会安静下来 when that her golden couplets are disclosed,
温和下来了 his silence will sit drooping.
听我说 老兄 hear you, sir
你为什么这样对待我 what is the reason that you use me thus?
我一向是爱你的 I loved you ever
可是这些都不用说了 but it is no matter.
有本领的 随他干什么事吧 Let Hercules himself do what he may,
猫总是要叫 the cat will mew
狗总是要闹的 and dog will have his day.
好霍拉旭 请你跟住他 I pray you, good Horatio, wait upon him.
记住我们昨天晚上所说的话 格外忍耐点儿吧 Streng then your patiencein our last night's speech
我们马上就可以实行我们的办法 we'll put the matter to the present push.
好乔特鲁德 Good Gertrude,
叫几个人好好看守你的儿子 set some watch over your son.
这一个坟上要有个活生生的纪念物 This grave shall have a living monument,
平静的时间不久就会到来 an hour of quiet shortly shall we see.
现在我们必须耐着心把一切安排 Till then, in patienceour proceeding be.
这个题目已经讲完 So much for this, sir
现在我可以让你知道另外一段事情 now shall you see the other.
你还记得当初的一切经过情形吗 You do remember all the circumstance?
记得 殿下 Remember it, my lord!
当时在我的心里有一种战争 Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting,
使我不能睡眠 that would not let me sleep.
我觉得我的处境 Methought I lay worse
比锁在脚镣里的叛变的水手还要难堪 than the mutines in the bilboes.
我就卤莽行事 结果倒鲁莽对了 Rashly, and praised be rashness for it,
我们应该承认 有时候一时孟浪 let us know, our indiscretion sometimes serves us well,
往往反而可以做出一些 when our deep plots do pall,
为我们的深谋密虑所做不成功的事 and that should learn us there's a
从这一点上 我们可以看出来 divinity that shapes our ends,
我们的结果却早已有一种冥冥中的力量把它做好了 rough-hew them How we will.
这是无可置疑的 that is most certain.
我从舱里起来 Up from my cabin,
把一件航海的宽衣罩在我的身上 my sea-gown scarf'd about me,
在黑暗之中摸索着找寻那封公文 in the dark groped I to find out them
果然给我达到目的 had my desire.
摸到了他们的包裹 Finger'd their packet,
我拿着它回到我自己的地方 and in fine withdrew to mine own room again
疑心使我忘记了礼貌 making so bold, my fears forgetting manners,
我大胆地拆开了他们的公文 to unseal their grand commission
在那里面 霍拉旭 啊 堂皇的诡计 where I found, Horatio, o royal knavery!
我发现一道严厉的命令 An exact command, larded with many
借了许多好听的理由为名 several sorts of reasons
说是为了丹麦和英国双方的利益 importing Denmark's health and England's too, with, ho!
决不能让我这个除恶的人物逃脱 Such bugs and goblins in my life,
接到公文之后 that, on the supervise, no leisure bated,
必须不等磨好利斧 no, not to stay the grinding of the axe,
立即枭下我的首级 my head should be struck off.
有这等事 Is't possible?
这一封就是原来的国书 你有空的时候可以仔细读读 Here's the commission read it
可是你愿意听我告诉你后来我怎么办吗 at more leisure. But wilt thou hear me how I did proceed?
请您告诉我 I beseech you.
在这样重重诡计的包围之中 Being thus be-netted round with villanies,
我的脑筋不等我定下心来思索 ere I could make a prologue to my brains,
就开始活动起来了 they had begun the play.
我坐下来另外写了一通国书 字迹清清楚楚 I sat me down, devised a new commission,
从前我曾经抱着跟我们那些政治家们同样的意见 wrote it fair. I once did hold it, as our statists do,
认为字体端正是一件有失体面的事 a baseness to write fair,
总是想竭力忘记这一种技能 and labour'd much how to forget that learning,
可是现在它却对我有了大大的用处 but, sir, now it did me yeoman's service.
-你知道我写些什么话吗 -嗯 殿下 - Wilt thou know the effect of What I wrote? - Ay, good My lord.
我用国王的名义 An earnest conjuration from the king,
向英王提出恳切的要求 as England was his faithful tributary,
因为英国是他忠心的藩属 as love between them like the palm might flourish,
因为两国之间的友谊 as peace should stiff her wheaten
必须让它像棕榈树一样发荣繁茂 garl and wear and stand a comma 'tween their amities,
因为和平的女神必须永远戴着她的荣冠 and many such-like'
沟通彼此的情感 As'es of great charge,
以及许许多多诸如此类的重要理由 that, on the view and knowing of these contents,
请他在读完这一封信以后 不要有任何的迟延 without debatement further, more or less,
立刻把那两个传书的来使处死 he should those bearers put to sudden death,
不让他们有从容忏悔的时间 not shriving-time allow'd.
可是国书上没有盖印 那怎么办呢 How was this seal'd?
啊 这件事天注定 Why, even in that was heaven ordinant.
我的衣袋里恰巧藏着我父亲的私印 I had my father's signet in my purse,
它跟丹麦的国玺是一个式样的 which was the model of that Danish seal.
我把伪造的国书照着原来的样子折好 Folded the writ up in form of the other,
签上名字 盖上印玺 subscribed it, gave't the impression,
把它小心封好 归还原处 placed it safely,
一点没有露出破绽 the changeling never known. Now,
下一天就遇见了海盗 the next day was our sea-fight
那以后的情形 你早已知道了 and what to this was sequent thou know'st already.
这么说 吉尔登斯吞和罗森格兰茨是去送死的了 So Guildenstern and Rosencrantz go to't.
哎 朋友 他们本来是自己钻求这件差使的 Why, man, they did make love to this employment
我在良心上没有对不起他们的地方 they are not near my conscience
是他们自己的阿谀献媚断送了他们的生命 their defeat does by their own insinuation grow
两个强敌猛烈争斗的时候 不自量力的微弱之辈 tis dangerous when the baser nature comes
却去插身在他们的刀剑中间 between the pass and fell incensed points
这样的事情是最危险不过的 of mighty opposites.
想不到竟是这样一个国王 Why, what a king is this!
你想 我是不是应该 Does it not, think'st thee, stand me now upon he
他杀死了我的父王 奸污了我的母亲 he that hath kill'd my king and whored my mother,
篡夺了我的嗣位的权利 popp'd in between the election and my hopes,
用这种诡计谋害我的生命 thrown out his angle for my proper life,
凭良心说我是不是应该亲手向他复仇雪恨 and with such cozenageis't not perfect conscience,
如果我不去剪除这一个戕害天性的蟊贼 to quit him with this arm?
让他继续为非作恶 And is't not to be damn'd,
岂不是该受天谴吗 to let this canker of our nature come in further evil?
他不久就会从英国得到消息 It must be shortly known to him from England
知道这一回事情产生了怎样的结果 what is the issue of the business there.
时间虽然很局促 It will be short
可是我已经抓住眼前这一刻工夫 the interim is mine
一个人的生命 and a man's life's
可以在说一个"一"字的一剎那之间了结 no more than to say 'One.'
可是我很后悔 好霍拉旭 But I am very sorry, good Horatio,
不该在雷欧提斯之前失去了自制 that to Laertes I forgot myself
因为他所遭遇的惨痛 for, by the image of my cause,
正是我自己的怨愤的影子 I see the portraiture of his,
我要取得他的好感 I'll court his favours.
可是他倘不是那样夸大他的悲哀 But, sure, the bravery of his grief
我也决不会动起那么大的火性来的 did put me into a towering passion.
不要作声 Peace!
谁来了 Who comes here?
殿下 欢迎您回到丹麦来 Your lordship is right welcome back to Denmark!
谢谢您 先生 I humbly thank you, sir.
-你认识这只水苍蝇吗 -不 殿下 - dost know this water -fly? - No, My good lord.
那是你的运气 因为认识他是一件丢脸的事 Thy state is the more gracious for 'tis a vice to know him.
他有许多肥田美壤 He hath much land, and fertile.
一头畜生要是作了一群畜生的主子 Let a beast be lord of beasts,
就有资格把食槽搬到国王的席上来了 and his crib shall stand at the king's mess.
他叫起来没完 可是 我方才也说了 Tis a chough but, as I say,
他拥有大批粪土 spacious in the possession of dirt.
殿下 您要是有空的话 Sweet lord, if your friendship were at leisure,
我奉陛下之命 要来告诉您一件事情 I should impart a thing to you from his majesty.
先生 我愿意恭聆大教 I will receive it, sir, with all diligence of spirit.
您的帽子是应该戴在头上的 您还是戴上去吧 Put your bonnet to his right use 'tis for the head.
谢谢殿下 天气真热 I thank your lordship,but 'tis very hot.
不 相信我 天冷得很 在刮北风哩 No, believe me, 'tis very cold the wind is northerly.
真的有点儿冷 殿下 It is indifferent cold, my lord, indeed.
可是对于像我这样的体质 But yet me thinks it is very
我觉得这一种天气却是闷热得厉害 sultry and hot for my complexion.
对了 殿下 Exceedingly, my lord
真是说不出来的闷热 it is very sultry, as 'twere,
可是 殿下 I cannot tell how. But, my lord,
陛下叫我来通知您一声 his majesty bade me signify to you
他已经为您下了一个很大的赌注了 that he has laid a great wager on your head.
殿下 事情是这样的 Sir, this is the matter,
请您不要这样多礼 I beseech you, remember.
不 殿下 我还是这样舒服些 真的 Nay, good my lord for mine ease, in good faith.
殿下 雷欧提斯新近到我们的宫廷里来 Sir, here is newly come to court Laertes
相信我 他是一位完善的绅士 believe me, an absolute gentleman,
充满着最卓越的特点 full of most excellent differences,
他的态度非常温雅 他的仪表非常英俊 of very soft society and great showing.
说一句发自衷心的话 Indeed, to speak feelingly of him,
他是上流社会的南针 he is the card or calendar of gentry,
因为在他身上可以找到 for you shall find in him
一个绅士所应有的品质的总汇 the continent of what part a gentleman would see.
先生 他对于您这一番描写 Sir, his definement suffers
的确可以当之无愧 no perdition in you
虽然我知道 要是把他的好处一件一件列举出来 though, I know, to divide him invent or ially
不但我们的记忆将要因此而淆乱 would dizzy the arithmetic of memory,
交不出一篇正确的账目来 而且他这一艘满帆的快船 and yet but yaw neither,
也决不是我们失舵之舟所能追及 inrespect of his quick sail.
可是 凭着真诚的赞美而言 But, in the verity of extolment,
我认为他是一个才德优异的人 I take him to be a soul of great article
他的高超的禀赋是那样稀有而罕见 and his infusion of such dearth and rareness,
说一句真心的话 as, to make true diction of him.
除了在他的镜子里以外 再也找不到第二个 His semblable is his mirror
纷纷追踪求迹之辈 不过是他的影子而已 and who else would trace him, his umbrage, nothing more.
殿下把他说得一点不错 Your lordship speaks most infallibly of him.
您的用意呢 The concernancy, sir?
为什么我们要用尘俗的呼吸 Why do we wrap the gentleman
嘘在这位绅士的身上呢 in our more rawer breath?
殿下 Sir?
自己所用的语言 到了别人嘴里 就听不懂了吗 Is't not possible to understand in another tongue?
早晚你会懂的 先生 You will do't, sir, really.
您向我提起这位绅士的名字 是什么意思 What imports the nomination of this gentleman?
-雷欧提斯吗 -他的嘴里已经变得空空洞洞 - of Laertes? - his purse is empty already
-我知道您不是不明白 -正是雷欧提斯 - all's golden words are spent. - Of him, sir.
您真能知道我这人不是不明白 I know you are not ignorant.
那倒很好 可是 说老实话 I would you did, sir yet, in faith,
即使你知道我是明白人 if you did, it would not
对我也不是什么光采的事 好 您怎么说 much approve me. Well, sir?
我是说 您不是不明白雷欧提斯有些什么特长 You are not ignorant of what excellence Laertes is
那我可不敢说 I dare not confess that,
因为也许人家会疑心我有意跟他比并高下 lest I should compare with him in excellence
可是要知道一个人的底细 应该先知道他自己 but, to know a man well, were to know himself.
殿下 我的意思是说他的武艺 I mean, sir, for his weapon
人家都称赞他的本领 but in the imputation laid on himby them,
一时无两 in his meed he's unfellowed.
-他会使些什么武器 -长剑和短刀 - What's his weapon? - Rapier and dagger.
-他会使这两种武器吗 很好 -殿下 - That's two of his weapons, but, well. - The king, sir,
王上已经用六匹巴巴里的骏马跟他打赌 hath wagered with him six Barbary horses
-在他的一方面 下的注 -下注 - against the which he has imponed, - 'Imponed'?
照我所知道的 押的是六柄法国的宝剑和好刀 as I take it, six French rapiers and poniards,
连同一切鞘带钩子之类的附件 with their assigns, asgirdle, hangers, and so
其中有三柄的挂机尤其珍奇可爱 three of the carriages, in faith, are very dear to fancy,
跟剑柄配得非常合式 式样非常精致 very responsive to the hilts, most delicate carriages,
-花纹非常富丽 -您所说的挂机是什么东西 - And of very liberal conceit. - What call you the carriages?
我知道您要听懂他的话 非得翻查一下注解不可 I knew you must be edified by the margent ere you had done.
殿下 挂机就是钩子 The carriages, sir, are the hangers.
要是我们腰间挂着大炮 用这个名词倒还合适 The phrase would bemore german to the matter,
在那一天没有来到以前 if we could carry cannon by our sides
我看还是就叫它钩子吧 I would it might be hangers till then.
好 说下去 六匹巴巴里骏马 But, on six Barbary horses
对六柄法国宝剑 附件在内 against six French swords, their assigns,
-外加三个花纹富丽的 -挂机 - And three liberal -conceited... - Carriages.
挂机 法国产品对丹麦产品 carriages that's the French bet against the Danish.
可是 用你的话来说 这样"押"是为了什么呢 Why is this 'imponed,' as you call it?
殿下 王上跟他打赌 The king, sir, hath laid, sir,
要是你们两人交起手来 that in adozen passes between yourself and him,
在十二个回合之中 他至多不过多赢您三着 he shall not exceed you three hits,
可是他却觉得他可以稳赢九个回合 he hath laid on twelve for nine and it would come to immediate trial,
殿下要是答应的话 马上就可以试一试 if your lordship would vouch safe the answer.
要是我答应个"不"字呢 How if I answer 'no'?
殿下 我的意思是说 I mean, my lord, the opposition
您答应跟他当面比较高低 of your person in trial.
先生 我还要在厅堂里散散步 您去回陛下说 Sir, I will walk here in the hall if it please his majesty,
现在是我一天之中休息的时间 tis the breathing time of day with me
叫他们把比赛用的钝剑预备好了 let the foils be brought,
要是这位绅士愿意 王上也不改变他的意见的话 the gentleman willing, and the king hold his purpose,
我愿意尽力为他博取一次胜利 I will win for him an I can.
万一不幸失败 If not, I shall gain nothing
那我也不过丢了一次脸 给他多剁了两下 but my shame and the odd hits.
-我就照这样去回话吗 -您就照这个意思去说 - Shall I re-deliver you e'en so? - To this effect, sir,
随便您再加上一些什么新颖词藻都行 after what flourish your nature will.
-我保证为殿下效劳 -不敢 不敢 - I commend my duty to your lordship. - Yours, yours.
多亏他自己保证 He does well to commend it himself
别人谁也不会替他张口的 there are no tongues else for's turn.
这一只小鸭子顶着壳儿逃走了 This lapwing runs away with the shell on his head.
他在母亲怀里时 也要对奶头恭维 然后吮吸 He did comply with his dug, before he sucked it.
像他这一类靠着一些繁文缛礼撑撑场面的家伙 Thus has he, and many more of the same bevy
正是愚妄的世人所醉心的 that I know the drossy age dotes on,
他们的浅薄的牙慧 only got the tune of the time and out ward habit of encounter
使傻瓜和聪明人同样受他们的欺骗 a kind of yesty collection, which carries them through and through
可是一经试验 the most fond and winnowed opinions
可是一经试验 and do but blow them to their trial,
他们的水泡就爆破了 the bubbles are out.
殿下 陛下刚才叫奥斯里克来向您传话 My lord, his majesty commended him to you by young Osric,
知道您在这儿厅上等候他的旨意 who brings back to him that you attend him in the hall.
他叫我再来问您一声 He sends to know if your pleasure hold
您是不是仍旧愿意跟雷欧提斯比剑 to play with Laertes,
还是慢慢再说 or that you will take longer time.
我没有改变我的初心 I am constant to my purposes,
一切服从王上的旨意 现在也好 they follow the king's pleasure.If his fitness speaks,
只要他方便 我总是随时准备着 mine is ready now or when soever,
除非我丧失了现在所有的力气 provided I be so able as now.
王上 娘娘 跟其他的人都要到这儿来了 the King and queen and all are coming down.
-他们来得正好 -娘娘请您在开始比赛以前 - In happy time. - the queen desires you
对雷欧提斯客气几句 to use some gentle entertainment to Laertes before you fall to play.
我愿意服从她的教诲 She well instructs me.
殿下 您在这一回打赌中间 多半要失败的 You will lose this wager, my lord.
我想我不会失败 I do not think so.
自从他到法国去以后 我练习得很勤 Since he went into France, I have been in continual practise,
我一定可以把他打败 I shall win at the odds.
可是你不知道我的心里是多么不舒服 But thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart.
-那也不用说了 -啊 我的好殿下 - but It is no matter. - Nay, good My lord.
那不过是一种傻气的心理 It is but foolery
可是一个女人也许会 but it is such a kind of gain-giving,
因为这种莫名其妙的疑虑而惶惑 as would perhaps trouble a woman.
要是您心里不愿意做一件事 那么就不要做吧 If your mind dislike any thing, obey it.
我可以去通知他们不用到这儿来 I will forest all their repair hither,
说您现在不能比赛 and say you are not fit.
不 Not a whit,
我们不要害怕什么预兆 we defy augury.
一只雀子的死生 都是命运预先注定的 There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.
注定在今天 就不会是明天 If it be now, 'tis not to come
不是明天 就是今天 if it be not to come, it will be now.
逃过了今天 If it be not now,
明天还是逃不了 yet it will come.
随时准备着就是了 The readiness is all.
一个人既然在离开世界的时候 只能一无所有 Since no man knows aught of what he leaves,
那么早早脱身而去 不是更好吗 what is't to leave be times?
随它去 Let be.
来 哈姆莱特 来 Come, Hamlet, come,
让我替你们两人和解和解 and take this hand from me.
原谅我 雷欧提斯 Give me your pardon, sir,
我得罪了你 I've done you wrong
可是你是个堂堂男子 请你原谅我吧 but pardon't, as you are a gentleman.
这儿在场的众人都知道 This presence knows,
你也一定听见人家说起 and you must needs have heard,
我是怎样被疯狂害苦了 how I am punish'd with sore distraction.
凡是我的所作所为 足以伤害你的感情和荣誉 What I have done, that might your nature,
激起你的愤怒来的 honour and exception roughly awake,
我现在声明都是我在疯狂中犯下的过失 I here proclaim was madness.
难道哈姆莱特会做对不起雷欧提斯的事吗 Was't Hamlet wrong'd Laertes?
哈姆莱特决不会做这种事 Never Hamlet if Hamlet from
要是哈姆莱特在丧失他自己的心神的时候 himself be ta'en away,
做了对不起雷欧提斯的事 and when he's not himself does wrong Laertes,
那样的事不是哈姆莱特做的 then Hamlet does it not,
哈姆莱特不能承认 那么是谁做的呢 Hamlet denies it. Who does it, then?
是他的疯狂 His madness.
既然是这样 If't be so,
那么哈姆莱特也是属于受害的一方 Hamlet is of the faction that is wrong'd
他的疯狂是可怜的哈姆莱特的敌人 his madness is poor Hamlet's enemy.
当着在座众人之前 Sir, in this audience,
我承认我在无心中射出的箭 let my disclaiming from a purposed evil
误伤了我的兄弟 free me so far in your most generous thoughts,
我现在要向他请求大度包涵 that I have shot mine arrow o'er the house,
宽恕我的不是出于故意的罪恶 and hurt my brother.
按理讲 对这件事情 I am satisfied in nature, whose motive,
我的感情应该是激动我复仇的主要力量 in this case, should stir me most to my revenge,
现在我在感情上总算满意了 但还有荣誉这一关 but in my terms of honour I stand aloof
除非有什么为众人所敬仰的长者 and will no reconcilement,
告诉我可以跟你捐除宿怨 until by some elder masters, of known honour,
指出这样的事是有前例可援的 I have a voice and precedent of peace,
不至于损害我的名誉 to keep my name ungored.
那时我才可以跟你言归于好 But till that time, I do receive
目前我且先接受你友好的表示 your offer'd love like love,
并且保证决不会辜负你的盛情 And will Not wrong it.
我绝对信任你的诚意 I do embrace It freely
愿意奉陪你举行这一次友谊的比赛 and will this brother'swager frankly play.
-把钝剑给我们 来 -来 给我一柄 - Give us the foils. Come on. - Come, one for me.
雷欧提斯 我的剑术荒疏已久 只能给你帮场 I'll be your foil,Laertes. In mine ignorance
正像最黑暗的夜里一颗吐耀的明星一般 your skill shall, like a star
彼此相形之下 i' the darkest night,
-一定更显得你的本领的高强 -殿下不要取笑 - stick fiery off indeed. - you mock me, sir.
不 我可以举手起誓 这不是取笑 No, By this hand.
奥斯里克 把钝剑分给他们 Give them the foils, young Osric.
哈姆莱特侄儿 你知道我们怎样打赌吗 cousin Hamlet, you know the wager?
我知道 陛下 very well, My lord.
您把赌注下在实力较弱的一方了 Your grace hath laid the odds o' the weaker side.
我想我的判断不会有错 I do not fear it
你们两人的技术我都领教过 I have seen you both,
但是后来他又有了进步 but since he is better'd,
所以才规定他必须多赢几着 we have therefore odds.
这一柄太重了 换一柄给我 This one's too heavy, let me see another.
这一柄我很满意 这些钝剑都是同样长短的吗 This likes me well. These foils have all a length?
是 殿下 Ay, my good lord.
替我在那桌子上斟下几杯酒 Set me the stoops of wine upon that table.
要是哈姆莱特击中了第一剑或是第二剑 If Hamlet give the first or second hit,
或者在第三次交锋的时候争得上风 or quit in answer of the third exchange,
让所有的碉堡上一齐鸣起炮来 let all the battlements their ordnance fire.
国王将要饮酒慰劳哈姆莱特 The king shall drink to Hamlet's better breath
他还要拿一颗比丹麦四代国王戴在王冠上 and in the cup an union shall he throw,
更贵重的珍珠 richer than that which four successive
丢在酒杯里 kings in Denmark's crown have worn.
把杯子给我 鼓声一起 Give me the cup and let the kettle to the trumpet speak,
喇叭就接着吹响 通知外面的炮手 the trumpet to the cannoneer with out,
让炮声震彻天地 the cannons to the heavens,
报告这一个消息 "现在国王为哈姆莱特祝饮了" the heavens to earth, 'nowthe king drinks to Hamlet.'
来 开始比赛吧 你们在场裁判的都要 Come, begin. And you, the judges,
-留心看着 -请了 - bear a wary eye. - Come on, sir.
请了 殿下 Come on, lord.
-一剑 -不 没有击中 - One. - No.
-请裁判员公断 -中了 - Judgment. - A hit,
很明显的一剑 a very palpable hit.
-好 再来 -且慢 拿酒来 - well again. - Stay Give me drink.
哈姆莱特 这一颗珍珠是你的 Hamlet, this pearl is thine
祝你健康 here's to thy health.
把这一杯酒给他 Give him the cup.
让我先赛完这一局 暂时把它放在一旁 I'll play this bout first set it by awhile.
来 Come.
-又是一剑 你怎么说 -我承认给你碰着了 - Another hit What say you? - a touch, a touch, I Do confess.
我们的孩子一定会胜利 Our son shall win.
他身体太胖 有些喘不过气来 He's fat, and scant of breath.
来 哈姆莱特 把我的手巾拿去 Here, Hamlet, take my napkin,
揩干你额上的汗 rub thy brows.
王后为你饮下这一杯酒 The queen carouses to
祝你的胜利了 哈姆莱特 thy fortune, Hamlet.
-好妈妈 -乔特鲁德 - Good madam! - Gertrude!
不要喝 Do not drink.
我要喝的 陛下 请您原谅我 I will, my lord. I pray you, pardon me.
这一杯酒里有毒 太迟了 It is the poison'd cup it is too late.
母亲 我现在还不敢喝酒 等一等再喝吧 I dare not drink yet, madam by and by.
来 让我擦干你的脸 Come, let me wipe thy face.
陛下 现在我一定要击中他了 My lord, I'll hit him now.
我怕你击不中他 I do not think't.
可是我的良心却不赞成我干这件事 And yet 'tis almost'gainst my conscience.
进攻 Attack!
来 该第三个回合了 Come, for the third,
雷欧提斯 你怎么一点不起劲 Laertes. You but dally
请你使出你全身的本领来吧 I pray you, pass with your best violence
我怕你在开我的玩笑哩 I am afeard you make a wanton of me.
你这样说吗 Say you so?
来 Come on.
受我这一剑 Have at you now!
两边都没有中 nothing, Neither way.
分开他们 他们动起火来了 part them they are incensed.
来 再试一下 Nay, come, again.
嗳哟 瞧王后怎么啦 Look to the queen there, ho!
他们两人都在流血 They bleed on both sides.
您怎么啦 雷欧提斯 How is't, Laertes?
唉 奥斯里克 正像一只自投罗网的山鹬 Why, as a woodcock tomine own springe, Osric.
我用诡计害人 反而害了自己 I am justly kill'd
这也是我应得的报应 with mine own treachery.
王后怎么啦 How does the queen?
她看见他们流血 昏了过去了 she swounds to see them bleed.
不 不 那杯酒 那杯酒 No, no, the drink, the drink!
啊 我的亲爱的哈姆莱特 那杯酒 那杯酒 O my dear Hamlet, the drink, the drink!
我中毒了 I am poison'd.
啊 奸恶的阴谋 O villany!
喂 把门锁上 Ho! Let the door be lock'd!
阴谋 查出来是哪一个人干的 Treachery! Seek it out.
凶手就在这儿 哈姆莱特 哈姆莱特 It is here, Hamlet! Hamlet,
你已经不能活命了 世上没有一种药可以救治你 thou art slain no medicinein the world can do thee good
不到半小时 你就要死去 in thee there is not half an hour of life
那杀人的凶器就在你的手里 the treacherous instrument is in thy hand,
它的锋利的刃上还涂着毒药 unbated and envenom'd,
这奸恶的诡计已经回转来害了我自己 the foul practise hath turn'd itself on me.
瞧 我躺在这儿 再也不会站起来了 Lo, here I lie, never to rise again
你的母亲也中了毒 thy mother's poison'd.
我说不下去了 I can no more
国王 国王 都是他一个人的罪恶 the king, the king's to blame.
反了 Treason!
锋利的刃上还涂着毒药 The point! Envenom'd too!
好 毒药 Then, venom,
发挥你的力量吧 to thy work.
啊 帮帮我 朋友们 我不过受了点伤 O, yet defend me, friends I am but hurt.
好 你这败坏伦常 Here, thou incestuous,
嗜杀贪淫 万恶不赦的丹麦奸王 murderous, damned Dane,
喝干了这杯毒药 drink off this potion.
你那颗珍珠是在这儿吗 跟我的母亲一道去吧 Is thyunion here? Follow my mother.
他死得应该 He is justly served
这毒药是他亲手调下的 it is a poison temper'd by himself.
尊贵的哈姆莱特 让我们互相宽恕 Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet.
我不怪你杀死我和我的父亲 Mine and my father's death come not upon thee,
-你也不要怪我杀死你 -愿上天赦免你的错误 - nor thine on me. - Heaven make thee free of it!
我也跟着你来了 I follow thee.
我死了 霍拉旭 I am dead, Horatio.
不幸的王后 别了 Wretched queen, adieu!
你们这些看见这一幕意外的惨变 You that look pale and tremble at this chance,
而战栗失色的无言的观众 that are but mutes or audience to this act, had I but time
倘不是因为死神的拘捕不给人片刻的停留 as this fell sergeant, death, is strict in his arrest
啊 我可以告诉你们 可是随它去吧 O, I could tell you... but let it be.
霍拉旭 我死了 你还活在世上 Horatio, I am dead thou livest
请你把我的行事的始末根由昭告世人 report me and my cause aright to the unsatisfied.
解除他们的疑惑 Never believe it,
不 我虽然是丹麦人 可精神上更像古罗马人 I am more an antique Roman than a Dane.
这儿还留剩着一些毒药 Here's yet some liquor left.
你是个汉子 把那杯子给我 放手 As thou'rt a man, give me the cup, let go!
凭着上天起誓 By heaven!
你必须把它给我 I'll ha't.
啊 上帝 霍拉旭 我一死之后 O God, Horatio, what a wounded name,
要是世人不明白这一切事情的真相 things standing thus unknown,
我的名誉将要永远蒙着怎样的损伤 shall live behind me!
你倘然爱我 If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart
请你暂时牺牲一下天堂上的幸福 absent thee from felicitya while, and in this harsh world
留在这一个冷酷的人间 替我传述我的故事吧 draw thy breath inpain, to tell my story.
这是哪儿来的战场上的声音 What warlike noise is this?
年轻的福丁布拉斯从波兰奏凯班师 Young Fortinbras, with conquest come from Poland,
这是他对英国来的钦使所发的礼炮 to the ambassadors of England gives this warlike volley.
啊 我死了 霍拉旭 I die, Horatio.
猛烈的毒药已经克服了我的精神 The potent poison quiteo'er-crows my spirit.
我不能活着听见英国来的消息 I cannot live to hear the news from England
可是我可以预言 but I do prophesy the election
福丁布拉斯将被推戴为王 lights on Fortinbras.
他已经得到我这临死之人的同意 He hath my dying voice
你可以把这儿所发生的一切事实 so tell him, with the occurrents, more and less,
告诉他 which have solicited.
此外 The rest...
仅余 is...
沉默而已 silence.
一颗高贵的心现在碎裂了 Now cracks a noble heart.
晚安 亲爱的王子 Good night sweet prince...
愿成群的天使们用歌唱抚慰你安息 and flights of angelssing thee to thy rest!
为什么鼓声越来越近了 Why does the drum come hither?
这一场比赛在什么地方举行 Where is this sight?
你们要看些什么 What is it ye would see?
要是你们想知道一些惊人的惨事 If aught of woe or wonder,
那么不用再到别处去找了 cease your search.
好一场惊心动魄的屠杀 This quarry cries on havoc.
啊 骄傲的死神 O proud death!
你用这样残忍的手腕 What feast is toward
一下子杀死了这许多王裔贵胄 in thine eternal cell,
在你的永久的幽窟里 that thou so many princes at a shot
将要有一席多么丰美的盛筵 so bloodily hast struck?
这一个景象太惨了 The sight is dismal
我们从英国奉命来此 and our affairs from England come too late.
本来是要回复这儿的王上 The ears are senseless that should give us hearing,
告诉他我们已经遵从他的命令 to tell him his commandment is fulfill'd,
把罗森格兰茨和吉尔登斯吞两人处死 that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
我们还希望从谁的嘴里得到一声感谢呢 Where should we have our thanks?
即使他能够向你们开口说话 Not from his mouth,
他也不会感谢你们 had it the ability of life to thank you
他从来不曾命令你们把他们处死 he never gave commandmentfor their death.
可是既然你们都来得这样凑巧 But since, so jump upon this...
恰好看见这一幕流血的惨剧 bloody question,
有的刚从波兰回来 有的刚从英国到来 you from the Polack wars,and you from England, are here arrived.
那么请你们叫人把这几个尸体抬起来放在高台上面 Give order that these bodies highon a stage be placed to the view
让大家可以看见 and let me speak tothe yet unknowing world
让我向那懵无所知的世人报告这些事情的发生经过 how these things came about, so shall you hear
你们可以听到奸淫残杀 of carnal, bloody,
反常悖理的行为 and unnatural acts,
冥冥中的判决 意外的屠戮 of accidental judgments, casual slaughters,
借手杀人的狡计 of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause,
以及陷入自害的结局 and, in this upshot, purposes mistook fall'n on the inventors' heads.
这一切我都可以确确实实地告诉你们 All this can I truly deliver.
让我们赶快听你说 Let us haste to hear it,
所有最尊贵的人 都叫他们一起来吧 and call the noblest to the audience.
我虽准备接受我的幸运 心里却充满了悲哀 For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune.
我在这一个国内本来也有继承王位的权利 I have some rights of memory in this kingdom,
现在国中无主 正是我要求这一个权利的机会 which now to claim my vantage doth invite me.
关于那一点 我受死者的嘱托 也有句话要说 Of that I shall haveal so cause to speak,
他的意见是可以影响许多人的 and from his mouth whose voice will draw on more
可是在这人心惶惶的时候 but let this same be presently perform'd,
让我还是先把这一切解释明白了 even while men's minds are wild lest more mischance
免得引起更多的不幸 阴谋和错误来 on plots and errors, happen.
让四个将士把哈姆莱特像一个军人似的抬到台上 Let four captains bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage
因为要是他能够践登王位 for he was likely, had he been put on,
一定会成为一个贤明的君主的 to have proved most royally,
为了表示对他的悲悼 and, for his passage,
我们要用军乐和战地的仪式 向他致敬 the soldiers' music and the rites of war speak loudly for him.
把这些尸体一起抬起来 Take up the body!
这一种情形在战场上是不足为奇的 Such a sight as this becomes the field,
可是在宫廷之内 却是非常的变故 but here shows much amiss.
去 Go.
叫兵士放起炮来 Bid the soldiers shoot.
