ACTⅡ. 第三幕 Scene I.A room in the Castle. Enter King,Queen,Polonius,Ophelia;Rosencrantz,Guildenstern. King.And can you by no drift of circumstance Get from him why he puts on this confusion, Grating so harshly all his days of quiet With turbulent and dangerous lunacy④？ Ros. He does confess he feels himself distracted, But from what cause he will by no means speak. Guil.Nor do we find him forward to be sounded, But with a crafty madness keeps aloof, When we would bring him on to some confession Of his true state. Queen.Did he receive you well? Ros.Most like a gentleman. Guil.But with much forcing of his disposition. Ros.Niggard of question,but of our demands Most free in his reply. Queen.Did you assay him to any pastime? Ros. Madam,it so fell out that certain players. We o'erraught on the way:of these we told him, And there did seem in him a kind of joy To hear of it:they are here about the court, And,as I think,they have already order This night to play before him. ·118· 第一场城堡中的一室 国王，王后，波洛尼厄斯，奥菲利娅，罗森格 兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。 confusion [kan'fju:3on]n. 困惑 国王你们不能用迂回婉转的方法，探出他为什么这样 ②harshly [ha:liad.严厉地 神魂颠倒，让紊乱而危险的疯狂困扰他的安静的 ③turbulent['to:bjulant]a.混 乱的 生活吗？ ④lunacy[lju:nosi]n.精神 失常 罗森格兰兹他承认他自己有些精神迷惘，可是绝口不 写confess [kan'fesg承认 distracted [dis'traektid]a. 肯说为了什么缘故。 心烦意乱的 ⑦aloof1u:0ad.远离 吉尔登斯吞他也不肯虚心接受我们的探问；当我们想 要从他嘴里知道他自己的一些真相的时候，他总 是用假作痴呆的神气回避不答。 王后他对待你们还客气吗？ 罗森格兰兹很有礼貌。 吉尔登斯吞可是不大自然。 ⑧niggard['nigod]a.吝啬的 罗森格兰兹不大说话，但对我们的问题倒是回答得十 分详细。 王后你们有没有劝诱他找些什么消遣？ 罗森格兰兹娘娘，我们来的时候，刚巧有一班戏子也 要到这儿来，给我们追上了；我们把这消息告诉 了他，他听了好像很高兴。现在他们已经到了宫 里，我想他今晚就要看他们表演了。 ·119· Hamlet Pol.'Tis most true; And he beseech'd me to entreat your majesties To hear,and see the matter. King. With all my heart,and it doth much content me To hear him so inclin'd. Good gentlemen,give him a further edge, And drive his purpose on to these delights Ros. We shall,my lord.

Queen.I shall obey you; And for your part,Ophelia,I do wish That your good beauties be the happy cause Of Hamlet's wildness:so shall I hope your virtues Will bring him to his wonted way again, To both your honours. Oph. Madam,I wish it may. Exit Queen. Pol. Ophelia,walk you here.Gracious so please you, We will bestow ourselves:[To Ophelia.Read on this book, That show of such an exercise may colour Your loneliness.We are oft to blame in this, "Tis too much prov'd,that with devotion's visage, And pious action,we do sugar o'er The devil himself. ·120· 哈姆雪特 波洛尼厄斯一点不错；他还叫我来请两位陛下同去看 看他们演得怎样哩。 国王那好极了；我非常高兴听见他在这方面有兴趣。 请你们两位还要更进一步鼓起他的兴味，把他的 心思移转到这种娱乐上面。 ①delight [di'lait].高兴 罗森格兰兹是，陛下。 罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞同下。 国王亲爱的格特鲁德，你也暂时离开我们；因为我们 已经暗中差人去唤哈姆雷特到这儿来，让他和奥 菲利娅见见面，就像他们偶然相遇一般。她的父 亲跟我两人将要权充一下密探，躲在可以看见他 ②affront[b'frAnt]v.面对 们，却不能被他们看见的地方，注意他们会面的 ③espial ['i spaiol]n.侦探 情形，从他的行为上判断他的疯病究竟是不是因 ④bestow [bi'stau]v.授予 ⑤frankly[fraenkli]ad.公开 为恋爱上的苦闷。 明白地 @affliction [a'dikfon]n.折磨 王后我愿意服从您的意旨。奥菲利娅，但愿你的美貌 果然是哈姆雷特疯狂的原因；更愿你的美德能够 帮助他恢复原状，使你们两人都能安享尊荣。 ⑦virtue'va:jun.美德 奥菲利娅娘娘，但愿如此。 王后下。 波洛尼厄斯奥菲利娅，你在这儿走走。陛下，我们就 去躲起来吧。（向奥菲利娅)你拿这本书去读， 他看见你这样用功，就不会疑心你为什么一个人 在这儿了。人们往往用至诚的外表和虔敬的行动， 掩饰一颗魔鬼般的内心，这样的例子是太多了。 ·121· Hamlet King. [Aside.]O,'tis too true! How smart a lash that speech doth give my conscience! The harlot'scheek,beautied with plast'ring art, Is not more ugly to the thing that helps it, Than is my deed to my most painted word. O heavy burthen! Pol. I hear him coming.Let's withdraw,my lord. Exeunt King and Polonius. Enter Hamlet. Ham. To be,or not to be,that is the question: Whether'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them:to die to sleep; No more;and by a sleep,to say we end The heart-ache,and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to!'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd.To die to sleep. To sleep,perchance to dream:ay,there's the rub, For in that sleep of death,what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause.There's the respect That makes calamity of so long life: For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th'oppressor'swrong,the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despis'd love,the law's delay, The insolence of office,and the spurns That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make, With a bare bodkin?Who would these fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country,from whose bourn No traveller returns,puzzles the will, ·122 哈姆雪特 国王（旁白）啊，这句话是太真实了！它在我的良心 ①conscience ['konfans]n.良心 上抽了多么重的一鞭！涂脂抹粉的娟妇的脸，还 ②harlot[ha:at)n.娼妓 不及掩藏在虚伪的言辞后面的我的行为更丑恶。 难堪的重负啊！ 波洛尼厄斯我听见他来了；我们退下去吧，陛下。 国王及波洛尼厄斯下。 哈姆雷特上。 哈姆雷特生存还是毁灭，这是一个值得考虑的问题； 默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭，或是挺身反抗人世 的无涯的苦难，在奋斗中结束了一切，这两种行 ③sling [slin]n.弹号 为，哪一种是更勇敢的？死了，睡着了，什么都 outrageous [aut'reid3s]a. 可恶的 完了；要是在这一种睡眠之中，我们心头的创 痛，以及其他无数血肉之躯所不能避免的打击， 都可以从此消失，那正是我们求之不得的结局。 consummation [konso- 死了，睡着了；睡着了也许还会做梦；嗯，阻碍 meifon]n.结局 devoutly [di'vautli]ad. 就在这儿：因为当我们摆脱了这一具朽腐的皮囊 诚地 以后，在那死的睡眠里，究竟将要做些什么梦， 那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。人们甘心久困于患难 ⑦shuffle】y笨手笨脚 之中，也就是为了这个缘故。谁愿意忍受人世的 地穿（或脱） 鞭挞和讥嘲，压迫者的凌辱，傲慢者的冷眼，被 ⑧calamity [kalaem向ln.灾难 轻蔑的爱情的惨痛，法律的迁延，官吏的横暴， 和俊杰大才费尽辛勤所换来的鄙视，要是他只要 @oppressor ['presal n.压迫 者 用一柄小小的刀子，就可以清算他自己的一生， contumely ['kontju:mili]n. 悔辱 谁愿意负着这样的重担，在烦劳的生命的迫压下 ①pang [pan]n.(肉体上) 呻吟流汗？倘不是因为惧怕不可知的死后，惧怕 剧痛 insolence ['insalans]n.傲慢 那从来不曾有一个旅人回来过的神秘之国，是 ⑧spurn [sp3:nn.摒弃 ®quietus[kwai'i:tos]m.生 它迷惑了我们的意志，使我们宁愿忍受目前的折 命的终止 ④fardel['fa:'deln.负担 磨，不敢向我们所不知道的痛苦飞去？这样，重 重的顾虑使我们全变成了儒夫，决心的赤热的光 彩，被审慎的思维盖上了一层灰色，伟大的事业 在这一种考虑之下，也会逆流而退，失去了行动 ·123· Hamlet And makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution, Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard their currents turn awry②， And lose the name of action.Soft you now! The fair Ophelia?Nymph,in thy orisons Be all my sins rememb'red. Oph. Good my lord, How does your honour for this many a day? Ham. I humbly thank you;well,well,well. Oph. My lord,I have remembrances of yours, That I have longed long to re-deliver. I pray you,now receive them. Ham.No,not I, I never gave you aught. Oph. My honour'd lord,you know right well you did, And with them words of so sweet breath compos'd, As made the things more rich.Their perfume left: Take these again;for to the noble mind, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. There my lord. Ham.Ha,ha!Are you honest? Oph. My lord? Ham.Are you fair? Oph. What means your lordship? Ham.That if you be honest and fair,your honesty should admit no discourse to your beauty. Oph. Could beauty,my lord,have better commerce than with honesty? Ham. Ay,truly;for the power of beauty will sooner transform honesty from what it is,to a bawd,than the force of honesty can translate beauty into his likeness.This was sometime a paradox,but now ·124· 哈姆雷特【 的意义。且慢！美丽的奥菲利娅！一女神，在 你的祈祷之中，不要忘记替我仟悔我的罪孽。 ①coward[kauod]n.儒夫 ②awry [o'rail a.背离了正 确方向的 ③orison['orizan]n.析祷 奥菲利娅我的好殿下，您这许多天来贵体安好吗？ 哈姆雷特谢谢你，很好，很好，很好。 奥菲利娅殿下，我有几件您送给我的纪念品，我早就 想把它们还给您；请您现在收回去吧。 哈姆雷特不，我不要，我从来没有给你什么东西。 奥菲利娅殿下，我记得很清楚您把它们送给我，那 时候您还向我说了许多甜蜜的言语，使这些东西 格外显得贵重；现在它们的芳香已经消散，请您 ④perfume[pa'fju:m]n.香味 拿了回去吧，因为送礼的人要是变了心，礼物虽 贵，也会失去了价值。拿去吧，殿下。 哈姆雷特哈哈！你贞洁吗？ 奥菲利娅殿下！ 哈姆雷特你美丽吗？ 奥菲利娅殿下是什么意思？ 哈姆雷特要是你既贞洁又美丽，那么顶好不要让你的 贞洁跟你的美丽来往。 ⑤discourse[disk:sn.谈话 奥菲利娅殿下，美丽跟贞洁相交，那不是再好没有 ⑥commerce ['koma:sn.交 吗？ 往，社交 哈姆雷特嗯，真的；因为美丽可以使贞洁变成淫荡， 贞洁却未必能使美丽受它自己的感化；这句话从 ⑦paradox[peeradoks]n悖论 前像是怪诞之谈，可是现在时间已经把它证实 ·125· Hamlet the time gives it proof.I did love you once. Oph.Indeed,my lord,you made me believe so. Ham.You should not have believ'd me.For virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock,but we shall relish of it.I loved you not. Oph.I was the more deceived. Ham. Get thee to a nunnery Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?I am myself indifferent honest,but yet I could accuse me of such things,that it were better my mother had not borne me.I am very proud,revengeful, ambitious,with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,imagination to give them shape,or time to act them in.What should such fellows as I do,crawling between earth and heaven.We are arrant knaves all;believe none of us.Go thy ways to a nunnery.Where's your father? Oph. At home,my lord. Ham.Let the doors be shut upon him,that he may play the fool nowhere but in's own house.Farewell. Oph.O help him,you sweet heavens. Ham.If thou dost marry,I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry Be thou as chaste as ice,as pure as snow,thou shalt not escape calumny.Get thee to a nunnery.Go,farewell.Or,if thou wilt needs marry,marry a fool; for wise men know well enough,what monsters you make of them.To a nunnery,go;and quickly too.Farewell. Oph.O,heavenly powers,restore him! Ham.I have heard of your paintings too,well enough.God hath given you one face,and you make yourselves another:you jig,you amble,and you lisp; you nickname God's creatures,and make your wantonness,your ignorance. Go to,I'll no more on't,it hath made me mad.I say,we will have no moe marriages.Those that are married already,all but one shall live;the rest shall keep as they are.To a nunnery,go. Exit. ·126·
