介绍:
《哈姆雷特》里第三幕第一场的经典台词,向沙翁致敬! 阡陌不太习惯英音,语音语调求轻喷(>﹏<) 以下是这段台词的全文: To be, or not to be: that is the question, Whether it&`&s 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 heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, it&`&s a consummation Devoutly to be wished. 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, The oppressor&`&s wrong, the proud man&`&s contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law&`&s delays, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, 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 or with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action. 参考译文: 生存还是毁灭,这是一个值得思考的问题; 默然忍受命运暴虐的毒箭,或是挺身反抗 人世无涯的苦难,通过斗争把它们扫个干净, 这两种行为,哪一种更加高贵? 死了;睡着了;就这样; 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, 都能从此消失,那正是我们求之不得的结局。 死,就是睡眠;也许要做梦; 嗯,阻碍就在这儿: 我们一旦摆脱了世间的牵缠,在死的睡眠里, 将要做些什么梦,那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。 这个顾虑,正好让人甘心久困于折磨之中; 谁愿意忍受人世的鞭挞讥嘲、压迫者的凌辱、 傲慢者的冷眼、失恋的痛苦、法庭的拖延、 官吏的横暴和费尽辛勤所换来的小人的鄙视, 要是只用一柄小小的尖刀,他就可以解脱, 谁愿意肩负重担,拖着疲累的生命呻吟、流汗, 倘不是因为惧怕不可知的死后, 惧怕那从来不曾有一个旅人回来过的神秘之国, 意志动摇了,于是我们宁愿忍受目前的磨难, 不敢向我们所未知的痛苦飞去? 这样,重重的顾虑使我们全变成了懦夫, 也是这样,决断决行的本色, 蒙上了惨白的一层思虑的病容, 本可以轰轰烈烈的大有所为,在这考虑下, 也会逆流而退,失去了行动的意义。
