Hamlet
Ber.Say,What,is Horatio there
Hor.
A piece of him.
Ber.
Welcome,Horatio.Welcome,good Marcellus.
Mar.
What,has this thing appear'd again tonight?
Ber.
I have seen nothing.
Mar.
Horatio says,'tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight,twice seen of us.
Therefore I have entreated him along,
With us,to watch the minutes of this night,
That if again this apparition come,
He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
Hor.
Tush⑤,tush,'twill not appear.
Ber.
Sit down a while,
And let us once again assail your ears,
That are so fortifiedagainst our story,
What we two nights have seen.
Hor.
Well,sit we down,
And let us hear Bernardo speak of this
Ber.
Last night of all,
When yond same star that's westward from the pole
Had made his course t'illume that part of heaven
Where now it burns,Marcellus and myself,
The bell then beating one-
Mar.
Peace!break thee off!Look where it comes again!
Enter Ghost.
Ber.In the same figure,like the king that's dead.
Mar.
Thou art a scholar;speak to it,Horatio.
Ber.
Looks it not like the king?Mark it,Horatio.
Hor.
Most like.It harrows me with fear and wonder.
Ber.
It would be spoke to.
Mar.
Question it,Horatio.
Hor.
What art thou that usurp'st this time of night,
Together with that fair and warlike form

Hamlet
In which the majesty of buried Denmark
Did sometimes march?By heaven I charge thee,speak!
Mar.
It is offended®
Ber.
See,it stalks③away!
Hor.
Stay!Speak,speak!I charge thee,speak!
Exit the Ghost.
Mar.
'Tis gone,and will not answer.
Ber.
How now,Horatio?You tremble and look pale.
Is not this something more than fantasy?
What think you on't?
Hor.
Before my God,I might not this believe
Without the sensible and true avouch
Of mine own eyes.
Mar.
Is it not like the king?
Hor.
As thou art to thyself
Such was the very armour he had on,
When he th'ambitious Norway combated.
So frown'd he once,when in an angry parle
He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
'Tis strange.
Mar.
Thus twice before,and jump at this dead hour,
With martial stalk,hath he gone by our watch.
Hor.
In what particular thought to work,I know not;
But in the gross and scope of my opinion,
This bodes some strange eruption to our state.
Mar.
Good now,sit down,and tell me he that knows,
Why this same strict and most observant watch,
So nightly toils the subject of the land,
And why such daily cast of brazen cannon
And foreign mart for implements of war;
Why such impress of shipwrights,whose sore task
Does not divide the Sunday from the week.
What might be toward,that this sweaty haste
Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day:

①majesty'med3 isti]n.国
霍拉旭你是什么鬼怪,胆敢僭窃丹麦先王神武的雄
王,君主
姿,在这样深夜的时分出现?凭着上天的名义,
offended [o'fendid]a.
气的
我命令你说话!
③stalk[sto:kv偷偷走近
马西勒斯它生气了。
勃那多瞧,它悄悄地走了!
霍拉旭不要走!说呀,说呀!我命令你,快说。
④tremble['trembl]v.发抖
鬼下。
马西勒斯它走了,不愿回答我们。
勃那多怎么,霍拉旭!你在发抖,你的脸色这样惨
白,这不是幻象吧?你有什么高见?
⑤avouch[o'vaut]n.保证
霍拉旭在上帝的面前,倘不是我自己的眼睛向我证
明,我怎么也不会相信这样的怪事。
马西勒斯它不像我们的国王吗?
⑥thyself [oai'self]pron.【古
语、诗歌用语]你自己
霍拉旭正像你就是你自己一样。它身上的那副战铠,
正是他讨伐野心勃勃的挪威王的时候所穿的;它

脸上的那副怒容,活像他有一次和敌人谈判决裂
⑧smite[smait]v.打
以后,把那些乘雪车的波兰人打倒在冰上的时候
的神气,怪事怪事!
马西勒斯前面两次他也是这样不先不后地在这个静寂
的时辰,用军人的步态走过我们的眼前。
霍拉旭我不知道究竞应该怎样想法;可是大概推测
起来,这恐怕预兆着我们国内将要有一番非常的
@eruption ['i rapfan]n.突发
变故。
马西勒斯好吧,坐下来。谁要是知道的,请告诉我,

为什么我们要有这样森严的戒备,使全国的军民

Hamlet
Who is't that can inform me?
Hor.
That can I,
At least,the whisper goes so.Our last king,
Whose image even but now appear'd to us,
Was,as you know,by Fortinbras of Norway,
Thereto prick'd on by a most emulate pride,
Dar'd to the combat;in which our valiant Hamlet-
For so this side of our known world esteem'd him-
Did slay this Fortinbras;who by a seal'd compact,
Well ratified by law,and heraldry,
Did forfeit,with his life,all those his lands
Which he stood seiz'd of,to the conqueror:
Against the which,a moiety competent
Was gaged by our king;which had return'd
To the inheritance of Fortinbras,
Had he been vanquisher,as by the same covenant
And carriage of the article design'd,
His fell to Hamlet.Now sir,young Fortinbras,
Of unimproved mettle,hot and full
Hath in the skirts of Norway,here and there,
Shark'd up a list of landless resolutes,
For food and diet,to some enterprise
That hath a stomach in't:which is no other
As it doth well appear unto our state,
But to recover of us by strong hand
And terms compulsative,those foresaid lands
So by his father lost;and this,I take it,
Is the main motive of our preparations,
The source of this our watch,and the chief head
Of this post haste,and romage in the land.
Ber.
I think it be no other,but e'en so.
Well may it sort that this portentous figure
Comes armed through our watch,so like the king
That was and is the question of these wars.

哈姆雪特
霍拉旭我可以告诉你,至少一般人都是这样传说。
刚才他的形象还向我们出现的那位已故的王上,
你们知道,曾经接受骄矜好胜的挪威的福丁布拉
斯的挑战:在那一次决斗中间,我们的勇武的哈
①hereto [,dea'tuad.I古语
姆雷特—他的英名是举世称颂的—把福丁布
此外:另外
拉斯杀死了;按照双方根据法律的武士精神所订
②emulate['emjuleit]a.I废
语]好胜的
立的协定,福丁布拉斯要是战败了,除了他自己
③valiant'valjant]a.英勇
的
的生命以外,必须把他所有的一切土地拨归胜利
④esteem ['isti:mlv尊重
⑤heraldry ['heraldri]n.纹章
的一方;同时我们的王上也是提出相当的土地作
⑥forfeit[fb:ftdk丧失
为赌注,要是福丁布拉斯得胜了,就归他所有,
正像在同一协定上所规定的,他失败了,哈姆雷
⑦moiety['moioti]n.部分
特可以把他的土地没收一样。现在要说起那位福
丁布拉斯的儿子,他生得一副烈火也似的性格,
已经在挪威的四境招集了一群无赖之徒,供给他
vanquisher ['vaenkwifa]n.
征服者
们衣食,驱策他们去干冒险的勾当;他的唯一目
⑨covenant ['kAvonont]n.契
约
的,我们的当局看得很清楚,无非是要用武力和
mettle['mctl】i.性格
强迫性的条件,夺回他父亲所丧失的土地。照我
所知道的,这就是我们种种准备的主要动机,我
们这样戒备的唯一原因,也是全国所以这样慌忙
骚乱的缘故。
portentous [po:'tentos]a.
勃那多我想正是为了这个缘故。我们那位王上在过去
影响重大的
和目前的战乱中间,都是一个主要的角色,所以
无怪他以武装的形象要向我们出现示警了。

Hamlet
Hor.
A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye.
In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
The graves stood tenantless,and the sheeted dead
Did squeak④and gibber⑤in the Roman streets;
As stars with trains of fire and dews of blood,
Disasters in the sun;and the moist star,
Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands,
Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse
And even the like precurse of fierce events,
As harbingers preceding still the fates
And prologue to the omen coming on,
Have heaven and earth together demonstrated
Unto our climature and countrymen.
But soft!behold!Lo,where it comes again!
Enter Ghost again.
I'll cross it,though it blast me.Stay illusion!
If thou hast any sound,or use of voice,
Speak to me.
If there be any good thing to be done,
That may to thee do ease,and grace to me,
Speak to me.
If thou art privy to thy country's fate
Which happily foreknowing may avoid,
O speak!
Or,if thou hast uphoarded in thy life
Extorted treasure in the womb of earth,
For which,they say,you spirits oft walk in death.
The Cock crows.
Speak of it!Stay,and speak!Stop it,Marcellus!
Mar.
Shall I strike at it with my partisan?
Hor.
Do,if it will not stand.
Ber.
'Tis here!
Hor.
'Tis here!
Exit Ghost.
