莎士比亞劇作經典臺詞

Macbeth

From Shakespeare’s Tragedy,Macbeth  (V.v)
Tomorrow and Tomorrow 明天，明天，
Tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow, 再一個明天，
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day 一天接著一天地躡步前進，
To the last syllable of recorded time. 直到最后一秒鐘的時間；
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools 我們所有的昨天，
The way to dusty death. 不過替傻子們照亮了到死亡的土壤中去的路。
Out, out, brief candle! 熄滅了吧，熄滅了吧，短促的燭光！
Life’s but a walking shadow, 人生不過是一個行走的影子，
A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, 一個在舞臺上指手劃腳的拙劣的伶人
And then is heard no more. 登場了片刻，就在無聲無臭中悄然退下；
It is a tale told by an idiot, 它是一個愚人所講的故事，
full of sound and fury, 充滿著喧嘩和騷動，
Signifying nothing. 找不到一點意義。 （朱生豪譯）

 

Richard II

From Shakespeare’s History Play, Richard II (II.i)
England
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle. 這一個君王們的御座，這一個統于一尊的島嶼，
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars. 這一片莊嚴的大地，這一個戰神的別邸；
This other Eden, demi-paradise. 這一個新的伊甸——地上的天堂，
This fortress built by nature for herself 這一個新的伊甸——地上的天堂，
Against the infection and the hand of war. 這一個造化女神為了防御毒害和戰禍的侵入而
她自己造下的堡壘；
This happy breed of man, this little world; 這一個英雄豪杰的誕生之地；這一個小小的世界，
This precious stone set in the silver sea, 這一個鑲嵌在銀色的海水之中的寶石
Which serves it in the office of a wall, 那海水就像是一堵圍墻，
Or as a moat defensive to a house 或是一道沿屋的壕溝
Against the envy of less happier lands. 杜絕了宵小的覬覦。
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. 這一個幸福的國土，這一個英格蘭。(朱生豪 譯)
From Shakespeare’s Trage-Comedy, Romeo and Juliet (II.ii)
“It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun.” … After the famous balcony scene]
Thou Knowest the Mask of Night
Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face, 幸虧黑夜替我罩上了一層面幕
Else would a maiden blush be paint [to] my cheek, 否則為了我剛才被你聽去的話，
For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight. 你一定可以看見我臉上羞愧的紅暈。
Fain would I dwell on form, 我真想遵守禮法，否認已經說過的言語，
Fain, fain deny what I had spoke. 可是這些虛文俗禮，現在只好一切置之不顧了！
But farewell, compliment. 你愛我嗎？我知道你一定會說“是的”；
Dost thou love me? I know thou will say “Ay,” 我也一定會相信你的話；可是也許你起的誓只是一個謊。
And I will take thy word; 人家說，對于戀人們的寒盟背信，宙斯是一笑置之的。
Yet, if thou swearest, thou mayest prove false. 溫柔的羅密歐啊！你要是真的愛我，就請你誠意告訴我；
At lovers’ perjuries they say Jove laughs. 你要是嫌我太容易降心相從，
Oh, gentle Romeo! If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully, 我也會堆起怒容，裝出倔強的神氣，
Or, if thou thinkest I am too quickly won, 拒絕你的好意，好讓你向我婉轉求情，
I’ll frown and be perverse and say thee “Nay,” 否則我是無論如何不會拒絕你的。
So thou willt woo. But else, not for the world. 俊秀的蒙塔古啊，我真的太癡心了，
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, 所以也許你會覺得我的舉動有點輕浮；
And therefore, thou mayest think my ’havior light, 可是相信我，朋友，總有一天你會知道我的忠心
But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove more true 遠勝過那些善于矜持作態的人。
Than those that have more cunning to be strange; 我必須承認，倘不是你趁我不備的時候
I should have been more strange, I must confess, 偷聽去了我的真情的表白，
But that thou overheardst ere I was ’ware 我一定會更加矜持一點的。
My true love’s passion. 所以原諒我吧，是黑夜泄露了我心底的秘密，
Therefore, pardon me, and not impute this yielding to light love, 不要把我的允諾看作了無恥的輕狂。
Which the dark night hath so discovered. (朱生豪 譯)

HAMLET

 —Act 3, Scene 1
To be, or not to be, that is the question:


朱生豪：生存還是毀滅，這是一個值得考慮的問題。
梁實秋：死后是存在，還是不存在，——這是問題。
卞之琳：活下去還是不活，這是問題。
許國璋：是生，是死，這是問題。
王佐良：生或死，這就是問題所在。
方 平：活著好，還是死了好，這是個難題啊。
孫大雨：是生存還是消亡，問題的所在。
裘克安：活著，還是不活了，問題就在這里。


To be, or not to be: that is the question: 活下去還是不活：這是問題。
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 要做到高貴，究竟該忍氣吞聲
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 來容受狂暴的命運矢石交攻呢，
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 還是該挺身反抗無邊的苦惱，
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; 掃它個干凈？死，就是睡眠
No more; and by a sleep to say we end 就這樣；而如果睡眠就等于了結了
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks心痛以及千百種身體要擔受的
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation 皮痛肉痛，那該是天大的好事，
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; 正求之不得啊！死，就是睡眠；
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; 睡眠，也許要做夢，這就麻煩了！
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come我們一旦擺脫了塵世的牽纏，
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 在死的睡眠里還會做些什么夢. （卞之琳 譯）

十四行詩賞析

 
Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
戴鎦齡譯文： 孫大雨譯文： 梁實秋譯文：
我怎樣能把你比做夏天？ 我可否將你比作初夏的清暉？ 我可能把你和夏天相比擬？
你比她更可愛也更溫和。 你卻煥耀得更可愛，也更溫婉； 你比夏天更可愛更溫和：
五月的嬌蕾有暴風震顛， 狂風震撼五月天眷寵的嫩蕊， 狂風會把五月的花苞吹落地
夏季的壽命很短就渡過。 孟夏的良時便會變得太短暫。 夏天也嫌太短促，匆匆而過。
有時候當空照耀著烈日， 晴空里赤日有時光照得過亮， 有時太陽照得太熱，
又往往它的光彩轉陰淡； 它那赫奕的金容會轉成陰晦； 常常又遮暗他的金色的臉；
凡是美艷終把美艷消失， 被機運或被造化變遷所跌宕， 美的事物總不免要凋落，
遭受運數和時序的摧殘。 任何美妙的形象會顯得不美。 偶然的，或是隨自然變化而流轉。
你永恒的夏季永不凋零， 但你這豐華的永夏不會衰頹， 但是你的永恒之夏不會褪色，
而且長把你的美艷保存； 你不會喪失你這無比的修好； 你不會失去你的俊美的儀容；
死神難夸你踏他的陰影， 死亡不會夸，你在它影下低回， 死神不能夸說你在它的陰影里面走著，
只因永恒的詩和你同春。 有這些詩行將你的韶光永葆： 如果你在這不朽的詩句里獲得了永生；
天地間能有人鑒賞文采， 只要人們還活著，眼睛還能看， 只要人們能呼吸，眼睛能看東西，
這詩就流傳就教你永在。 這首詩便能栩栩賦與你霞丹 此詩就會不朽，使你永久生存下去。



朱生豪譯文：
我能否將你比夏天比較？
你的俏麗溫柔更勝一籌。
狂風搖撼五月的嫩花苞，
夏天的租期太短促難留。
火紅的驕陽有時太毒烈，
金色的日頭常常被云擋，
一個個嬌艷生命終雕謝，
難抗命運和自然的無常。
但你的夏永恒不會黯淡，
不會失去你擁有的嬌顏，
更不會被死神拖進忘川，
你將永存于不朽的詩篇。
只要世人有呼吸和眼睛,
詩便會長存并給你生命。
