Romeo and Juliet
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars when they laugh alone.
O Romeo,that she were,
O that she were An open-arse and thou a poperin2 pear!
Romeo,goodnight.I'll to my truckle-bed;
This field-bed is too cold for me to sleep.
Come,shall we go?
Benvolio Go then,for'tis in vain
To seek him here that means not to be found.
〔They go.J
Scene 2
Capulet's garden
〔Enter Romeo.J
Romeo He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
[Juliet appears aloft at the window.)
But soft!What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east,and Juliet is the sun.
Arise,fair sun,and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou,her maid,art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid,since she is envious.
Her vestal5 livery is but sick and green,

罗密欧与朱丽叶
想着他的情人就是一个桃,
桃儿是女儿们在一起玩笑指着什么才用的字
眼,
①asea:s/n.[俗]屁股,
哦,罗密欧,希望你的爱人是啊,
臀部
2 poperin pop her in
是一个开了口的桃儿,你是一个香蕉。
3 truckle'trAkl/n.有脚
轮的矮脚卧床
罗密欧,再见,我要到我的小床上睡
这露天的大床太冷,我睡不了。
走吧,好不好?
班浮柳走吧,因为不愿被你找着的人
你再找也是找不着。
〔二人下。
第二景
凯布邸中花园
〔罗密欧走进。
罗密欧(听见墙外墨故求的话)
④aofa'lbft/d在高
处,在上
没有受过创伤的,就会嘲笑别人的伤痕。
[朱丽叶出现在楼上的窗口。
但是静静,是什么光从那边的窗户透出来?
那是东方,朱丽叶就是太阳。
起来吧,美丽的阳光,射倒那嫉妒的月亮;
惨白的月亮都焦虑得病了,
她气你原是她的侍女,为什么比她还美?
5 vestal'vest/a.贞洁
的,处女的
别再陪伴着她吧,因为她嫉妒你。
6 livery /livari/n.仆人

Romeo and Juliet
And none but fools do wear it:cast it off.
It is my lady,O it is my love;
O that she knew she were!-
She speaks,yet she says nothing.What of that?
Her eye discourses:I will answer it.
I am too bold:'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business,do entreat3 her eyes
To twinkle in their spheress till they return.
What if her eyes were there,they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp;her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek.
Juliet Ay me!
Romeo
She speaks:-
O speak again,bright angel,for thou art
As glorious to this night,being o'er my head,
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him

罗密欧与朱丽叶
她那修道的衣服都发了惨绿,
那是小丑们穿的,你就丢了吧。
〔月光照见朱丽叶的脸。
这是我的她,哦,是我的爱!—
哦,要她知道了多好!—
D discourse /dis'ko:s/v.
讲述
〔朱丽叶仿佛颤了一颤。
2 bold /bauld/a大胆的
她开口了,可她没有说什么。这有什么?
3 entreat /in'trit/,恳
她的眼在说话,我就去回答。
求,乞求
我太莽撞了,她不是对我说的。
④twinkle'twinkl/.闪
烁,使…闪耀
天空中两颗最辉煌的星星要出门,
sphere /sfia/n.范围,
领域
就请她的眼来代替他们闪耀,候着他们归来。
真的,如果她的一双眼睛悬在天空,
星星就替代她的眼睛,那会怎样?
那她脸上的明媚一定盖过星星的亮,
如同白日的光压倒了灯光,
在天上她的眼一定照耀满天的光明,
鸟儿乱叫,以为白昼已经降临。
看,她悄悄把手托着她的脸!
嗳,为什么我不是那手上的手套,
就轻轻靠着她的脸!
朱丽叶(低微)磙,天!
罗密欧她说了话,—
哦,再说一句,光明的天使!
今天夜里你是这样的辉煌,在我头上,
就像天堂里飞着的使者
6 mortal /'mo:t/n凡人
跨过懒懒的白云在太空里飞,
⑦gzc/geil.凝视,注

凡人们一面惊愕,一面仰望,

Romeo and Juliet
When he bestrides the lazy-passing clouds
And sails upon the bosom2 of the air.
Juliet O Romeo,Romeo!Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name:
Or,if thou wilt not,be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo Shall I hear more,or shall I speak at this?
Juliet "Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thy self,though not a Montague.
O be some other name!What's Montague?
It is nor hand,nor foot,nor arm,nor face,
Nor any part belonging to a man.
What's in a name?That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would,were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes,
Without that title.Romeo,doff thy name;
And for thy name,which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
Romeo I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love,and I'll be new baptized5;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Juliet What man art thou that,thus bescreened in night,
So stumbleston my counsel?
Romeo By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am.

朱丽叶
哦,罗密欧,罗密欧,你为什么是罗密欧?
不认你的父亲,也不要姓你的姓!
或者你不肯,你就起誓说你爱,
我可以再也不姓凯布。
罗密欧(踌躇自语)我再听一听,或者就去答应?
朱丽叶
不过是你的姓才成了我的仇人,
你是你,即便你不姓猛泰。
猛泰这两个字是什么呢?
它又不是手,不是脚,不是胳臂,不是脸,
不是你身上任何一部分。
哦,姓个别的姓吧!
姓名又算什么?我们叫作玫瑰的,
不叫它玫瑰闻着不也一样地甜么?
3 retain/ri'tein/u.保
罗密欧也这样,就不叫他罗密欧,
持,保留
④dof/dsf/数.脱,丢弃

这名字,我的神!我自己都恨。

Romeo and Juliet
My name,dear saint,is hateful to myself
Because it is an enemy to thee.
Had I it written,I would tear the word.
Juliet My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words
Of thy tongue's uttering,yet I know the sound.
Art thou not Romeo,and a Montague?
Romeo Neither,fair maid,if either thee dislike.
Juliet How camest thou hither,tell me,
and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death,considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
Romeo
With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do,that dares love attempt:
Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.
Juliet If they do see thee,they will murther thee.
Romeo Alack,there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords.Look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.
Juliet I would not for the world they saw thee here.
Romeo I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes;
And but thou love me,let them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued,wanting of thy love.

因为他恰巧是你的仇人,
如果能写在纸上,我一定把它撕了。

字

就听得出是谁。
你不是罗密欧,并且又是个猛泰?
罗密欧都不是,美丽的神,如果两个你都不爱。

花园的墙高,不容易过,
并且这里是死,想想你是谁,
万一我的亲族发现你在此地。
perch /pa:t/.就位,
位于
罗密欧插上爱的轻轻的翅膀我就跳过了墙,
石头的围栏怎么阻得了情爱?
爱能做的,爱就敢做,
你的亲族也拦不住我。

朱丽叶他们如果瞧见了你,他们会杀了你的。

Romeo and Juliet
Juliet By whose direction foundst thou out this place?
Romeo By love,that first did prompt me to enquire.
He lent me counsel,and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot2;yet,wert thou as far
As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea,
I should adventure for such merchandise3.
Juliet Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face;
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek,
For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight.
Fain would I dwell5 on form;fain,fain deny
What I have spoke:but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me?I know thou wilt say Ay,
And I will take thy word.Yet,if thou swearst,
Thou mayst prove false.At lovers'perjuries
They say Jove laughs.O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love,pronounce it faithfully.
Or,if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo;but else,not for the world.
In truth,fair Montague,I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my haviour light;
But trust me,gentleman,I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange,I must confess,
But that thou overheardst,ere I was ware,
