Romeo and Juliet
But you shall bear the burden soon at night.
Go;I'll to dinner;hie you to the cell.
Juliet Hie to high fortune!Honest Nurse,farewell.
〔They go..J
Scene 6
Friar Lawrence's cell
Enter Friar and Romeo.)
Friar So smile the heavens upon this holy act
That after-hours with sorrow chide us not.
Romeo Amen,amen.But come what sorrow can,
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy
That one short minute gives me in her sight.
Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
Then love-devouring death do what he dare;
It is enough I may but call her mine.
Friar These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph2 die like fire and powder
Which,as they kiss,consume.The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately;long love doth so:
Too swift arrives as tardy5 as too slow.
Here comes the lady.
(Enter Juliet.)

罗密欧与朱丽叶
去吧,我先吃饭,你快去找你的神父。
朱丽叶
再见,最好的奶妈,我走上了幸福的前途。
〔同下。
第六景
梵萝那,劳莲思长老苦修的密室
〔劳莲思长老与罗密欧上。
劳莲思长老上天会欢喜这次神圣的婚礼,
日后不会降下忧愁来责罚我们。
罗密欧(接下去)阿门,阿门!不过忧愁也罢,再多
D countervail
的忧愁也不能抵
'kauntaveil/r.补偿,
抵销
我在她面前一分钟所得到的快乐。
求您用神力把我们撮合在一起,
死再猖狂,也不怕他来,
我够满足了,只要我能说她是我的。
劳莲思长老狂暴的欢爱也会有狂暴的结束,
像炸药抱着火,在狂热的胜利中,
2 triumph /'traiamf/n.
凯旋,得胜
生命也就结果。
最甜的蜜时常甜得腻烦,
3 confound /kan'faund/
过甜的味道就把口味败坏。
让…死掉,挫败
所以爱得要平和,才能爱得长远,
④appetite'epitait/n
食欲,欲望
太快同太慢是同样地迟缓。
5 tardy'ta:di/a.缓慢
的,迟缓的
小姐来了,哦,这样轻巧的脚步
〔朱丽叶上。

Romeo and Juliet
O,so light a foot
Will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint!
A lover may bestride the gossamers?
That idles in the wanton summer air,
And yet not fall;so light is vanity.
Juliet Good even to my ghostly confessor.
Friar Romeo shall thank thee,daughter,for us both.
Juliet As much to him,else is his thanks too much.
〔They embrace.J
Romeo Ah.Juliet,if the measure of thy joy
Be heaped like mine,and that thy skill be more
To blazon it,then sweeten with thy breath
This neighbour air,and let rich music's tongue
Unfold the imagined happiness that both
Receive in either by this dear encounter.
Juliet Conceit,more rich in matter than in words,
Brags of his substance,not of ornament.
They are but beggars that can count their worth;
But my true love is grown to such excess
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.
Friar Come,come with me,and we will make short work;
For,by your leaves,you shall not stay alone
Till Holy Church incorporate two in one.
〔They go.J

罗密欧与朱丽叶
再也磨不烂地上的砖石。
①int/Iint/n.打火石
爱人这样轻,
2 gossamer /'gosama/n.
踩着夏天空中飘荡的游丝,
小蜘蛛网,薄纱
也落不下来。
这样轻是尘世间的一切,
虚渺无凭。
朱丽叶神父,您老人家好。
劳莲思长老孩子,谢谢,罗密欧要替我和他自己一
同谢谢你。
朱丽叶我心里也问了他的好,不然他再谢我就谢得
太多了。(他们拥抱)》
罗密欧啊,朱丽叶,如果你的欢喜和我一样多,
你比我更会把欢喜描画,
3 blazon/bleizan/.描
那么你张张口,四周的空气也就芬芳,
④unfold /An'fould/.展
开,开放
你就吐出美妙的音乐,
讲一讲,因为这次见面,
我们日后幸福的想象。
朱丽叶
可想的幸福如果用字都表示不尽的,
就该夸一夸那内容,不必再提那浮面。
能算清自己的价值的究竟还是穷人,
excess/ik'ses/n.过
度,过量
我的情爱已经满到无边,
⑥sum/sAm/L.总数,总
就一半我的财富我都无从去算。
量
⑦by your leave请原
劳莲思长老走,跟我走,我们就简简单单地行礼;
谅,对不起,借光
因为现在,听我说,你们还不能在一处,
除非神圣的教堂把你们送到一路。
〔三人下。
