Chapter 3 third act

King, can't you find out, in a roundabout way, Why he is so bewildered, Let disordered and dangerous madness haunt his quiet life? Rosencrantz, he admitted, was a little confused, but would never say why. Guildenstern, too, would not be open to our questioning; and when we tried to induce him to reveal some truth about himself, he always avoided it with an air of dementia. Queen, is he still polite to you? Rosencrantz was polite. Guildenstern was not natural. Rosencrantz didn't talk much, but he answered our questions in great detail. Queen Have you persuaded him to seek some diversion?

Ma'am Rosencrantz, when we came we happened to catch up with a troupe of mummers who were coming here too; we told him the news, and he seemed glad to hear it.Now that they're at the palace, I think he's ordered them to play for him tonight. Polonius is quite right, and he sent me to invite the two majesties to come and see how they play. King That's great, I'm very glad to hear he's interested in that.I beseech you both, to arouse his interest still further, and to divert his mind to this amusement. Rosencrantz Yes, Your Majesty. (Exit Rosencrantz and Guildenstern)

King dear Gertrude, you also leave us for a while; for we have secretly sent to summon Hamlet here, that he meet Ophelia, as if they had met by chance.Her father and I will act as spies, hiding where we can see them but not be seen by them, watch their meetings, and judge from his behavior whether his madness is due to love distress. . Queen, I am willing to submit to your will.Ophelia, may your beauty indeed be the cause of Hamlet's madness; and may your virtue restore him to his former state, and let you both be honored. Lady Ophelia, I hope so. (Exit the Queen) Polonius, Ophelia, walk here.Your Majesty, let us go and hide. (to Ophelia) You take this book and read it, and he won't wonder why you're here alone when he sees you working so hard.People often use a sincere appearance and pious actions to cover up a devilish heart. There are too many such examples.

King (narrator) Oh, the words are too true!What a blow it had on my conscience!The face of a painted whore is not as ugly as my deeds behind false words.What an embarrassing burden! Polonius I hear him coming.Let us retreat, Your Majesty. (Exit the King and Polonius) To be or not to be, Hamlet, that is the question; which of these two acts is to suffer in silence the tyrannical arrows of fate, or to rise up against the endless miseries of the world, and to sweep them away in the struggle? Kind more noble?To die, to sleep, to be all over; and if in that sleep the wounds of our heart, and countless other blows which flesh and blood cannot avoid, might be extinguished, that is the end we wish for.Died, fell asleep; fell asleep maybe still dreaming.Well, here lies the hindrance: For what dreams In that sleep of death we shall dream When Shake off This mortal shell, Must give us pause.It is for this reason that people are willing to be trapped in adversity for a long time.Who would bear the whips and scorns of this world, The oppressor's outrage, the proud man's contempt, The pangs of despised love, The law's delays, The insolence of office, And The scorn of favored villains that so painstakingly earned the best, What if he could liquidate his own life with just a tiny knife?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 traveler returns- puzzles the will , so that we would rather bear our present tortures than fly to those 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 awry And lose sight of. meaning of action.wait!Beautiful Ophelia! —Goddess, in your prayers, do not forget to confess my sins for me.

Ophelia, my dear Highness, how are you doing these days? Hamlet Thank you, well, well, well. Your Highness Ophelia, I have some souvenirs that you gave me, I have long wanted to return them to you, please take them back now. Hamlet No, I don't, I never gave you anything. My lord Ophelia, I remember very well that you gave them to me, and you said many sweet words to me at that time, which made them all the more precious; now that their fragrance has dissipated, please take them back , because if the giver changes his mind, the gift will lose its value even though it is expensive.Take it, my lord.

Hamlet Haha!are you chaste Her Majesty Ophelia! Hamlet Are you beautiful? What does Her Majesty Ophelia mean? Hamlet If you are chaste and beautiful, let your chastity cut off your beauty. Ophelia, is there any better companion for beauty than chastity? Hamlet Well, verily, for beauty may make chastity into lasciviousness, but chastity may not make beauty to its own influence; it seemed a grotesque once, but the age has confirmed it.I did love you once. Ophelia Verily, my lord, you once convinced me that you loved me. Hamlet You should not have believed me, For virtue cannot mold our sinful natures.I never loved you.

Ophelia Then I am really deceived. Hamlet to the nunnery!Why do you want to give birth to a group of sinners?I am not a very bad man myself, but I can point out many faults in me; and a man with those faults, his mother had better not have him born.I am proud, vengeful, ambitious, and my vices are so many that my mind cannot contain them, my imagination cannot shape them, and I have not time enough to act them out. .What's the use of a guy like me crawling between heaven and earth?We're all pretty bad guys, don't trust any of us.Go into the nunnery.Where is your father? Ophelia is at home, my lord.

Hamlet locks him up, and leaves him to be silly at home.Goodbye! Ophelia Ouch, my God!save him! Hamlet If you must marry, I give you this curse for dowry: Though thou art as firm as ice, and pure as snow, Thou shalt not escape slanderous slander.Go into the nunnery, go!Goodbye!Or if you must marry, marry a fool; for wise men know what monsters you make of them.Go into the nunnery, go!The sooner the better.Goodbye! Ophelia Gods in heaven, let him wake up! Hamlet I also know how you paint; God gave you a face, and you made another for yourselves.You are obsessed with flattery, lewd voices, random names for creatures created by God, and showing off your ignorant coquettishness.Come on, I don't dare to take it anymore, it has driven me crazy.I said, we don’t want to get married any more in the future; those who have already been married, except for one person, can let them live; (Down)

Ophelia, what a noble heart is thus lost!The eyes of courtiers, the debate of scholars, the sharp sword of soldiers, a delicate flower that the country pays attention to;I, saddest and wretched of all women, who once sucked the sweet sweetness of his musical oaths, now see his noble reason, like a beautiful string of silver bells, out of harmony. Tone, incomparably youthful and beautiful, withered in madness!what!I am so miserable, who would have expected that the prosperity of the past would turn into the soil of today! (back off) Kings in love!His insanity does not seem to be in love; his speech, although perverted, does not seem to be crazy.He has something on his mind which I fear may have dangerous results.As a precaution, I have made up my mind at once, and decided on a solution: he must go to England at once, and demand from them the tribute that has not been paid; He let go of the thought that was making him trance.what do you think?

Polonius is very good, but I believe that the root cause of his boredom is the disappointment in love.Ah, (Ophelia steps forward) Ophelia!You needn't tell us what Lord Hamlet said, we heard it all.Your Majesty, do as you please; but if you think it is right, let his mother be alone with him after the play, and beg him to tell her what he thinks; she must talk to him quite frankly Talk, I will find a place to listen to what they have to say.And if she can't find out his secrets, send him to England, or, as you see fit, keep him in a proper place. That's the way the king is.The madness of great men cannot be left alone. (same below)

When Hamlet begs you to read this piece, type it on your tongue very briskly, as I have just read it to you; and if you are like most players, I opened my throat and screamed, then I would rather ask the tolerance who announced the announcement to read these few lines of my words.And don't keep waving your hands in the air like this all the time; be gentle in all your movements, for even in the flood and tempest of agitation you must acquire a moderation, lest you go too far.what!I would hate to hear a guy in a full wig yelling on stage, tearing up a relationship to pieces, leaving the lower-class audience who just like to make fun of it, most of whom can't help but appreciate it. Don't understand anything but some inexplicable pantomime and din.I can take this fellow up and whip him, for he describes Tomagante too much, and Herod's savagery will bow down to him.Please be careful to avoid it. Lingjia, I just pay attention, Your Highness. It's not right that Hamlet is too plain, you should accept the guidance of your own common sense, and match your actions and words; pay special attention to this: You can't go beyond the common way of human nature; because unreasonable over-description, It is contrary to the original intention of drama. Since the beginning of drama, its purpose has always been to reflect life, to show the true colors of good and evil, and to show its age a model of its own evolution and development.If the performance is too much or too slack, though it may make the lay audience smile, the discerning person will frown at it; you must value the criticism of such a brilliant person more than the blind praise of the audience.what!I've seen some actors act, and I've heard them praised and said a word that's not too much. They can't speak the language of Christians, and they can't walk like men. Look at them Swaggering on the stage and shouting vigorously, I thought in my heart that some kind of hired hand must have created them, and they were so poorly made that they completely lost their human features. First I hope we have been fairly corrected in this respect. O Hamlet!You must thoroughly correct this malady.And you clowns, don't let them improvise anything besides what's written for them in the script.There are often many clowns who like to use their laughter to cause some ignorant audiences to laugh, although at that time the audience's attention should be focused on other more important issues; this kind of behavior is unforgivable, it shows The despicable ambition of the buffoon.Go, get ready. (The actors are the same) Hamlet, my lord, will your lord come and hear this play? Polonius He and his wife are coming. Hamlet tells the players to hurry. (Exit Polonius) You two also go and help them. Rosencrantz Yes, Your Highness. (Rosengrantz, Guildens swallow) Hamlet hello!Horatio! Horatio has, my lord. Hamlet Horatio, you are the most upright man I have ever known. Horatio!Your Highness—— Hamlet Nay, think not that I flatter you; what good do I flatter you, You have nothing but your good spirit?Why compliment the poor?Nay, let honeyed lips suck folly's splendor, and bend their rich knees where there is profit.listen.Ever since I was able to distinguish right from wrong and choose the wise from the foolish, you are the one chosen in my soul, because although you have experienced all the ups and downs, you have never been hurt at all, and you have accepted the abuse and grace of fate with equanimity; Blessed is the man who can adjust his emotions and reason so properly that fate cannot play with him.Give me someone who is not enslaved by affection, and I will cherish him in my heart, in the depths of my soul, as I have you.There is no need to say these words now.We shall perform a play before the king to-night, and there is a scene in which I have told you about my father's death; and while that play is going on, I will ask you to muster all your Spirit, behold my uncle, if after hearing that part of the play, his hidden evil still shows no trace, then the ghost we see must be a demon, and my fantasy is like the blacksmith's anvil The stone was so dark.Pay attention to him, and I will also fix my eyes on his face; later we will combine the results of everyone's observations to make a judgment for him. Horatio is well, my lord, and if there is anything in his countenance and manner that escapes our attention during this play, ask me only. Hamlet They have come to the play.I had to pretend to be doing nothing.You go and pick a place to sit down. King How are you, Nephew Hamlet? Hamlet is very, very good.I eat chameleon meat and drink air full of sweet words, your fat chickens don't taste like that yet. King That's not what you say, Hamlet, I don't mean it. Hamlet No, I don't mean it now either. (to Polonius) My lord, did you say that you ever acted in a play when you were a student at the university? Polonius Yes, my lord, they say I am a good actor. Hamlet What part do you play? Polonius I was Julius Caesar, and Brutus killed me in the temple of Jupiter. Hamlet He killed such a fine calf in the temple, it was cruel.Is the troupe ready? Rosencrantz Yes, Your Highness, they await your will. Come the queen, my good Hamlet, sit beside me. Hamlet No, good mother, here's a more charming thing. (Lie down at Ophelia's feet) Polonius (to the king) Aha!Did you see it? Miss Hamlet, may I sleep in your arms? Ophelia No, my lord. Hamlet I mean, may I lay my head on your lap? Ophelia Well, Your Highness. Hamlet Do you think I'm thinking dirty things? Ophelia I did not think, my lord. It was amusing to think that Hamlet slept between the girl's lap. Ophelia What, Your Highness? Hamlet is nothing. Ophelia You are joking, my lord. Hamlet Who, me? Ophelia Well, Your Highness. Hamlet O God!If it's a joke, it's mine.Why doesn't a person talk and laugh?You see how happy my mother is, my father was only two hours dead. Ophelia No, it has been four months, my lord. Has Hamlet been so long?Ouch, then let the devil wear filial piety, I'm going to make a new suit of ermine.God!Has he not been forgotten after two months of death?Then maybe after a great man dies, his memory can last half a year; but by the Holy Mother, he must build a few churches, or he will be like the abandoned wooden horse, and no one will miss him anymore . Enter a King and a Queen, very affectionate, embracing each other.The queen knelt down and took an oath to the king.The king helped the queen up and bowed his head on the queen's neck.The king fell asleep on the garden; the queen saw the king was fast asleep and left.The other person goes up, removes the crown from the king's head, kisses the crown, injects poison into the king's ear, and goes down.Re-enter the queen, mourning the death of the king.The poisoner led three or four other people to re-enter, pretending to accompany the queen and cry.The follower is under the corpse of the king.The poisoner gave gifts to the queen and begged for love; the queen first expressed her hatred and reluctance, and finally agreed to her request.Same below. Ophelia What does this mean, my lord? Hamlet Well, that means intrigue. Ophelia probably this pantomime is the whole show. This fellow Hamlet can tell us everything.Actors can't keep secrets, they will say anything. Ophelia Can he tell what they're acting on? Hamlet can tell, and he can tell what you play for him; and he can tell if you have the guts to act. Your Highness Ophelia is so bad, Your Highness is so bad!I'm going to see a play. To the prologue If this tragedy is not performed well, I ask for your pardon, The little one is being polite here. (Down) Hamlet Is this the prologue, or the inscription on the ring? Ophelia It's short, my lord. Hamlet is just like a woman's love. The sun wheel of Lingwang has been coiled for thirty spring and autumn, The vast sea and rolling earth, The moon shines with borrowed crystal light, Three hundred and sixty round the earth, Since love married us, Xu Men signed the Yuanmeng alliance for us. Queen Ling wishes the sun and the moon to continue their journey, Let us stay together for another 30 years! But alas, you have been so sick lately, Melancholy, lost old joy, so that my heart may be filled with fear for you. But, my lord, you need not doubt; A woman's sorrow is like her love, Either too little or too much; You know how much I love you, That's why there is such worry. The more we love each other, the more we care about each other; Otherwise, how can it appear that you and I are in love? My dear lover, I must leave you soon, My whole body will lose its vitality; leave you in this bustling world Enjoy honor and be loved by people; Maybe marry another good man— Empress Ling!I am definitely not such a thin lover; If I forget the old and welcome the new, I will hardly ask God to forgive me, Those who remarry unless they kill their husbands and prostitutes. Hamlet (narrator) Distressed, distressed! Most of the women who are queens of the actress are out of morals and are greedy for glory, Passionate women will never hold another pipa; If I share my bed with others, How can you be worthy of the pioneers in the underground! King Ling, I believe your words come from the heart, But we tend to live up to our preface. Volunteering is but a slave to memory, Always start and end, anticlimactic, Like unripe fruit clinging to the treetops, Once it turns red and rots, it will leave the branches. our debt to ourselves, Better to leave it behind; In a moment of enthusiasm, I made a vow, My heart is cold, and the will is also scattered with the clouds. Excessive joy, violent sorrow, On the contrary, it will destroy the nature of emotion. The sorrows and joys of the world change without reason, Crying bitterly changed to carnival in a flash. The world will also be destroyed one day, Why is love changing with circumstances; Who can solve this charade, Is the environment made of love?Is love moving from place to place? The great man who loses his fortune has no friends; The poor and poor enemies of fortune are ingratiating. This scorching state of the world is the same from ancient to modern: The rich gates are filled with guests; If you ask for help in your need, Even if you are acquainted with each other, you should feel like a stranger. Bringing our conversation back to the present topic, Will and destiny often run counter to each other, Determination will be overthrown in the end, Factual results are always unpredictable. You thought you yourself would never marry again, I'm afraid you will change your mind if I die. Don't support me after Ling, don't let me shine in the sky! No play during the day, no rest at night! Destroyed my hope and confidence; Lock the prison door and imprison me for life! Every nagging whirl, Destroy my heavy wish! If my husband dies and I become a new man, Let me sink forever in life and death! Hamlet If she breaks her oath now! It's hard for Ling Wang to make such a solemn vow for you. Go, my love; my mind is weary, Want to take a nap. (sleep) Queen Ling, may you sleep peacefully; God bless us both never regret! (Down) What do you think of the play, Mother Hamlet? Queen, I think that woman went too far when she expressed her heart. Hamlet, but she will keep her word. What is the plot of the king's play?Is there nothing wrong with it? Hamlet No, no, they just poisoned a man in jest, nothing serious. What is the name of the king's play? Hamlet's The Mousetrap.uh, what?It is a symbolic name.The story in the play alludes to a murder case in Vienna.Gonzago was the duke's name; his wife was called Baptista.You can see what's going on just by looking at it.It's a bad book, but what does that matter?It won't matter to your majesty and us clean-spirited men; let the faulty horse startle and flinch, our shoulders and backs are all good. This Hamlet is called Lucianus, nephew of the king. Ophelia, you are very good at explaining the plot, Your Highness. Hamlet If I see a puppeteer play the story of you and your lover, I'll explain it for you too. Your Royal Highness, Ophelia, you are too harsh. Hamlet try to wear my point off, you must hum.Do it, murderer!Damn things, stop making faces, do it!Come, the wow-wah crow utters a vengeful cry. Lucianas is black-hearted and quick-handed, encountering a wonderful opportunity; Before no one sees, it's not too late. Refined from the poisonous weeds you picked in the middle of the night, Three rounds of Hecate's spell, Quickly unleash your ferocious magic, Let his life quickly return to disillusionment. (injected with poison into sleeper's ears) Hamlet poisoned him in the garden in order to covet power.His name was Gonzago; the original text of the story still exists, in good Italian.The next thing is to show how the murderer got the love of Gonzago's wife. King Ophelia rises! Hamlet what!Freaked out by a blank shot? What's the matter, Your Majesty? Polonius stop acting! King, light me a torch!go! Torches of Polonius!torches!torches! (Exit all except Hamlet and Horatio) Hamlet, let the arrowed doe weep, The unwounded stag plays by itself; Some are insomnia, others sleep soundly, That's how the world goes round and round. Brother, if my fate is against me, with my ability to read words, and a full head of feathers, and two silk flowers on the slit boots, do you think I can be in the troupe? Step in? Horatio Maybe they'll give you a half bill. Hamlet I'll take the full amount. Because you know, dear Taimang, This desolate and broken land It turned out to be Xiongbang ruled by Qiao Wu, And now sits on the throne - the peacock. Horatio You should rhyme it. Hamlet, good Horatio!The ghost really didn't lie to me.Did you see that? Horatio saw it, my lord. Hamlet When the actor mentioned poison? Horatio I see him well. Hamlet Aha!Come on, play music!Come on, what about the flute player? If the king does not love this comedy, Then he probably can't appreciate it. Come on, play music! Your Highness Guildenstern, allow me to speak to you. Hamlet Well, you may tell me all history. His Royal Highness Guildenstern, Your Majesty— Hamlet Well, how is the king? Guildenstern was very uncomfortable after he went back. Was Hamlet drunk? Guildenstern No, Your Highness, he is losing his temper. HAMLET You'd be wise to tell his doctor about it, for I'm afraid it'd be more irritating to his temper. Guildenstern, my good lord, please be more careful with your words, and don't drag it out like this. Hamlet Well, I am obedient, speak with me. GUILDENSTOON Your queen mother is very sorry, so she sent me. Hamlet is very welcome. Guildenstern No, my lord, such a courtesy is unnecessary.If you will give me a good answer, I will convey your mother's wishes to you; if not, please forgive me and let me go back like this, and my business will be over. Hamlet I cannot. Guildenstern What can't you, my lord? Hamlet I can't give you a good answer, for my brain is broken; but as much as I can give you, you--my mother, I should say--have as much as you want.So stop talking nonsense and get down to business.You say my mother— Rosencrantz she put it this way: Your behavior surprised her very much. Hamlet, good son, to astonish a mother!But behind the mother's astonishment, what else was there to say?Speak. Rosencrantz She asks you to come and talk to her in her room before going to bed. Hamlet If she were my mother ten times, I would obey her.What else do you have? Your Royal Highness Rosencrantz, I have been wrongly loved by you. Hamlet By my pickpockets, I love you now. My lord Rosencrantz, what is the reason for your unhappiness?If you don't want to tell your friends what's on your mind, you're probably going to wear yourself out of your freedom. Hamlet I am not content with my present position. What about Rosencrantz!Your majesty has personally made you the heir to the throne, aren't you satisfied? HAMLET Well, but the old saying 'Till the grass is green—' is a little moldy too. O Hamlet!Here comes the flute, give me one.Take a step back and talk to you guys.Why do you try to pry into my privacy like this, as if you must force me into your trap? Guildenstern!Your Highness, if I am too presumptuous, it is because I love you too much. Hamlet I don't quite understand your words.Would you like to play this flute? My lord Guildenstern, I can't blow. Hamlet Please blow. Guildenstern I really can't blow. Hamlet Please don't be polite. GUILDENSTOON I really don't know at all, Your Highness. Hamlet That's as easy as lying.You just need to press these flute holes with your fingers, put your mouth on them and blow, and it will produce the most beautiful music.Look, these are stops. Guildenstern But I can't blow a harmony out of it.I don't know that technique. Hamlet Humph, what do you think of me!You will play with me; you think you can feel my heart; you will read my secrets; you will try my lowest note to my highest note; but in this little instrument, There is wonderful music hidden, but you cannot make it sound.Humph, do you think it's easier to play with me than with a flute?No matter what instrument you call me, you can only pluck me, not play with me. HAMLET God bless you, sir! Your Highness Polonius, my lady begs you to speak to her immediately. Hamlet Do you see that cloud that looks like a camel? Polonius Ouch, it really looks like a camel. Hamlet Still looks like a weasel, I think. Polonius It arches its back like a weasel. Hamlet still looks like a whale, doesn't he? Polonius is a lot like a whale. Hamlet So wait a minute and I'll go to my mother. (Narrator) I can't help being fooled by them any longer. (loudly) I'll be here in a minute. Polonius I'm going to say so. (Down) It is easy to say that Hamlet wait a while.leave me, friends. (Exit all but Hamlet) Now is the darkest hour of the night, when ghosts come out of graves, and hell breathes out on the world; now I can drink hot blood, dry An act of cruelty that the day dared not face.wait!I'm going to visit my mother too.Heart!Lose not your natural affections, Never let Nero's soul Infiltrate my stalwart bosom; let me be a murderer, but not a rebel.I will pierce her heart with words like a sharp sword, but never a hair on her body; my tongue and soul will learn the example of a hypocrite this time, no matter how harshly I give her words. Condemnation, but in action, it must be done without letting others criticize. (Down) King I don't like him; it's a great threat to me to let him go on like this.So go and get ready; I'll have your papers done at once, and I'll send him to England with you.In my position, his madness endangers my safety every hour, and I cannot keep him near me. Guildenstern, let's go get ready.The safety of many people is pinned on His Majesty, and this kind of concern is the most holy. Every commoner in Rosencrantz knows how to avoid disasters all over the body, and those who bear the weight of the world should especially guard against dangerous attacks at all times.The death of a monarch is not only a personal death, it is like a whirlpool, and everything near it will be swept away by it, and it will perish together; it is also like a giant wheel standing on the highest mountain, with countless wheels attached to its spokes. Small objects, when the giant wheel crashed, those small objects also shattered with it.The king's sigh is always accompanied by the groan of the whole country. Your Majesty begs you to be ready to go at once, for we must put an end to this flagrant menace. Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, let's go get ready. (Exit Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) Your Majesty Polonius, he has gone to his mother's room.I'll go now and hide behind the curtain and hear what they have to say.I can tell she will give him a good lesson.You said it very well. The mother is always somewhat partial to her son, so it is best to have a third person hiding by the side to eavesdrop on their conversation.Farewell, Your Majesty, before you go to bed, I will visit you again and tell you what I have heard. King thank you, my lord. (Exit Polonius) Ah!My sinful rage has ascended to heaven; my soul bears the first curse from the beginning of time, brother-killing!I cannot pray, though my desire is as strong as my resolution; my stronger sin beats my stronger will.Like a person who wants to do two things at the same time, I wandered astray because I didn't know where to start first, but I ended up getting nothing.If this accursed hand is stained with a brother's blood thicker than itself, shall not all the rains of heaven wash it white as snow?Isn’t the mission of mercy to forgive sins?Isn't the purpose of prayer, on the one hand, to prevent our fall, and on the other hand, to rescue us after we have fallen?Then I look to heaven; my fault is done.But alas!What kind of prayer is right for me? "Ask God to forgive me for my felony murder"?That cannot, for I still possess the objects that gave rise to my criminal motives, my crown, my ambition, and my queen.Can you ask for forgiveness if you still have the undivided benefits?In this world of corruption, the gilded hand of sin may push justice aside, and the loot of the mob is often a perverted bribe; but not so in heaven, where nothing is escaped, and every action is revealed The truth of it, we must bear witness to our own guilt.So what to do?What else is there to think about?Test the power of repentance.What is something that repentance cannot do?But of what use is it to a man who cannot repent?Ah, unfortunate situation!O breast dark as death!Ah, the more you struggle, the more you can't get out of the glued soul!Help me, angels!Give it a try: Bend down, tenacious knees; heartstrings like steel wires, become as soft as the muscles of a newborn baby!May everything turn misfortune into blessing! (kneeling and praying) Hamlet He's praying now, and I'll do it; and I'll do it now, and let him go to heaven, and I'll take my vengeance.No, consider that: a wicked man slew my father; I, his only son, sent the wicked man to heaven.Ah, this is simply revenge.He used despicable means to kill my father when he was full of worldly thoughts and crimes. Although no one knows how his good and evil in life are equal before God, but according to our general inference ，他的孽债多半是很重的。现在他正在洗涤他的灵魂，要是我在这时候结果了他的性命，那么天国的路是为他开放着，这样还算是复仇吗？No!收起来，我的剑，等候一个更惨酷的机会吧；当他在酒醉以后，在愤怒之中，或是在荒淫纵欲的时候，在赌博、咒骂或是其他邪恶的行为的中间，我就要叫他颠踬在我的脚下，让他幽深黑暗不见天日的灵魂永堕地狱。我的母亲在等我。这一服续命的药剂不过延长了你临死的痛苦。 (Down) 国王我的言语高高飞起，我的思想滞留地下；没有思想的言语永远不会上升天界。 (Down) 波洛涅斯他就要来了。请您把他着实教训一顿，对他说他这种狂妄的态度，实在叫人忍无可忍，倘没有您娘娘替他居中回护，王上早已对他大发雷霆了。我就悄悄地躲在这儿。请您对他讲得着力一点。 王后都在我身上，你放心吧。退下去，我听见他来了。（波洛涅斯匿帏后） 哈姆莱特母亲，您叫我有什么事？ 王后哈姆莱特，你已经大大得罪了你的父亲啦。 哈姆莱特母亲，您已经大大得罪了我的父亲啦。 王后来，来，不要用这种胡说八道的话回答我。 哈姆莱特去，去，不要用这种胡说八道的话问我。 王后啊，怎么，哈姆莱特！ 哈姆莱特现在又是什么事？ 王后你忘记我了吗？ 哈姆莱特不，凭着十字架起誓，我没有忘记你。你是王后，你的丈夫的兄弟的妻子，你又是我的母亲——但愿你不是！ 王后哎哟，那么我要去叫那些会说话的人来跟你谈谈了。 哈姆莱特来，来，坐下来，不要动；我要把一面镜子放在你的面前，让你看一看你自己的灵魂。 王后你要干什么呀？你不是要杀我吧？Help!help! 波洛涅斯（在帏后）喂！Help! 哈姆莱特（拔剑）怎么！是哪一个鼠贼？要钱不要命吗？我来结果你。（以剑刺穿帏幕） 波洛涅斯（在帏后）啊！I'm dead! 王后哎哟！你干了什么事啦？ 哈姆莱特我也不知道；那不是国王吗？ 王后啊，多么鲁莽残酷的行为！ 哈姆莱特残酷的行为！好妈妈，简直就跟杀了一个国王，再去嫁给他的兄弟一样坏。 王后杀了一个国王！ 哈姆莱特嗯，母亲，我正是这样说。（揭帏见波洛涅斯）你这倒运的、粗心的、爱管闲事的傻瓜，再会！我还以为是一个在你上面的人哩。也是你命不该活；现在你可知道爱管闲事的危险了。——别尽扭着你的手。静一静，坐下来，让我扭你的心；你的心倘不是铁石打成的，万恶的习惯倘不曾把它硬化得透不进一点感情，那么我的话一定可以把它刺痛。 王后我干了些什么错事，你才敢这样肆无忌惮地向我摇唇弄舌？ 哈姆莱特你的行为可以使贞节蒙污，使美德得到了伪善的名称；从纯洁的恋情的额上取下娇艳的蔷薇，替它盖上一个烙印；使婚姻的盟约变成博徒的誓言一样虚伪。what!这样一种行为，简直使盟约成为一个没有灵魂的躯壳，神圣的婚礼变成一串谵妄的狂言；苍天的脸上也为它带上羞色，大地因为痛心这样的行为，也罩上满面的愁容，好像世界末日就要到来一般。 王后唉！究竟是什么极恶重罪，你把它说得这样惊人呢？ 哈姆莱特瞧这一幅图画，再瞧这一幅；这是两个兄弟的肖像。你看这一个的相貌是多么高雅优美：太阳神的鬈发，天神的前额，战神一样威风凛凛的眼睛，像降落在高吻穹苍的山巅的神使一样矫健的姿态；这一个完善卓越的仪表，真像每一个天神都曾在那上面打下印记，向世间证明这是一个男子的典型。这是你从前的丈夫。现在你再看这一个：这是你现在的丈夫，像一株霉烂的禾穗，损害了他的健硕的兄弟。你有眼睛吗？你甘心离开这一座大好的高山，靠着这荒野生活吗？Hey!你有眼睛吗？你不能说那是爱情，因为在你的年纪，热情已经冷淡下来，它必须等候理智的判断；什么理智愿意从这么高的地方，降落到这么低的所在呢？知觉你当然是有的，否则你就不会有行动；可是你那知觉也一定已经麻木了；因为就是疯人也不会犯那样的错误，无论怎样丧心病狂，总不会连这样悬殊的差异都分辨不出来。那么是什么魔鬼蒙住了你的眼睛，把你这样欺骗呢？你的视觉、听觉、触觉、嗅觉，全都失去了交相为用的功能了吗？因为单单一个感官有了毛病，绝不会使人愚蠢到这步田地的。羞啊！你不觉得惭愧吗？要是地狱中的孽火可以在一个中年妇人的骨髓里煽起了蠢动，那么在青春的烈焰中，让贞操像蜡一样融化了吧。因为少年情欲的驱动而失身，又有什么可耻呢？霜雪都会自动燃烧，理智都会做情欲的奴隶呢。 王后啊，哈姆莱特！不要说下去了！你使我的眼睛看进了我自己灵魂的深处，看见我灵魂里那些洗拭不去的黑色的污点。 哈姆莱特嘿，生活在汗臭垢腻的眠床上，让淫邪熏没了心窍，在污秽的猪圈里调情弄爱—— 王后啊，不要再对我说下去了！这些话像刀子一样戳进我的耳朵里；不要说下去了，亲爱的哈姆莱特！ 哈姆莱特一个杀人犯，一个恶徒，一个不及你前夫二百分之一的庸奴，一个冒充国王的丑角，一个盗国窃位的扒手，从架子上偷下那顶珍贵的王冠，塞在自己的腰包里！ 王后别说了！ 哈姆莱特一个身着斑斓彩衣的下流国王—— 哈姆莱特天上的神明啊，救救我，用你们的翅膀覆盖我的头顶！——陛下英灵不昧，有什么见教？ 王后哎哟，他疯了！ 哈姆莱特您不是来责备您的儿子不该浪费他的时间和感情，把您煌煌的命令搁在一旁，耽误了应该做的大事吗？啊，说吧！ 鬼魂不要忘记。我现在是来磨砺你的快要蹉跎下去的决心。可是瞧！你的母亲那惊愕的表情。啊，快去安慰安慰她的正在交战中的灵魂吧！最柔弱的人最容易受幻想的激动。对她说话去，哈姆莱特。 哈姆莱特您怎么啦，母亲？ 王后唉！What happened to you?为什么你把眼睛睁视着虚无，向空中喃喃说话？你的眼睛里射出狂乱的神情；像熟睡的兵士突然听到警号一般，你的整齐的头发一根根都像有了生命似的竖立起来。啊，好儿子！在你的疯狂的热焰上，浇洒一些清凉的镇静剂吧！你在瞧什么？ 哈姆莱特他，他！您瞧，他的脸色多么惨淡！看见了他这一种形状，要是再知道他所负的沉冤，即使石块也会感动的。——不要瞧着我，因为那不过徒然勾起我的哀感，也许反会妨碍我的冷酷的决心；也许我会因此而失去勇气，让挥泪代替了流血。 王后你这番话是对谁说的？ 哈姆莱特您没有看见什么吗？ 王后什么也没有。要是有什么东西在那边，我不会看不见的。 哈姆莱特您也没有听见什么吗？ 王后不，除了我们两人的说话以外，我什么也没有听见。 哈姆莱特啊，您瞧！瞧，它悄悄儿去了！我的父亲，穿着他生前所穿的衣服！look!他就在这一刻，从门口走出去了！ (under the ghost) 王后这是你脑中虚构的意象；一个人在心神恍惚的状态中，最容易发生这种幻妄的错觉。 哈姆莱特心神恍惚！我的脉搏跟您的一样，在按着正常的节奏跳动哩。我所说的并不是疯话；要是您不信，我可以把我刚才说过的话一字不漏地复述一遍，一个疯人是不会记忆得那样清楚的。母亲，为了上帝的慈悲，不要自己安慰自己，以为我这一番说话，只是出于疯狂，不是真的对您的过失而发；那样的思想不过是骗人的油膏，只能使您溃烂的良心上结起一层薄膜，那内部的毒疮却在底下愈长愈大。向上天承认您的罪恶吧，忏悔过去，警戒未来；不要把肥料浇在莠草上，使它们格外蔓延起来。原谅我这一番正义的劝告；因为在这种万恶的时世，正义必须向罪恶乞恕，它必须俯首屈膝，要求人家接纳他的善意的箴规。 王后啊，哈姆莱特！你把我的心劈为两半了！ 哈姆莱特啊！把那坏的一半丢掉，保留那另外的一半，让您的灵魂清净一些。Good night!可是不要上我叔父的床；即使您已经失节，也得勉力学做一个贞节妇人的样子。习惯虽然是一个可以使人失去羞耻的魔鬼，但是它也可以做一个天使，对于勉力为善的人，它会用潜移默化的手段，使他徙恶从善。您要是今天晚上自加抑制，下一次就会觉得这一种自制的功夫并不怎样为难，慢慢儿就可以习以为常了；因为习惯简直有一种改变气质的神奇的力量，它可以使魔鬼主宰人类的灵魂，也可以把他从人们心里驱逐出去。让我再向您道一次晚安；当您希望得到上天祝福的时候，我将求您祝福我。至于这一位老人家，（指波洛涅斯）我很后悔自己一时鲁莽把他杀死；可是这是上天的意思，要借着他的死惩罚我，同时借着我的手惩罚他，使我一方面自己受到天谴，一方面又成为代天行刑的使者。我现在先去把他的尸体安顿好了，再来承担这一个杀人的过咎。Good night!为了顾全母子的恩慈，我不得不忍情暴戾；不幸已经开始，更大的灾祸还在接踵而至。再有一句话，母亲。 王后我应该怎么做？ 哈姆莱特我不能禁止您不再让那骄淫的僭王引诱您和他同床，让他拧您的脸，叫您做他的小耗子；我也不能禁止您因为他给了您一两个恶臭的吻，或是用他万恶的手指抚摸您的颈项，就把您所知道的事情一起说了出来，告诉他我实在是装疯，不是真疯。您应该让他知道；因为哪一个聪明懂事的王后愿意隐藏这样重大的消息，不去告诉一只蛤蟆、一只蝙蝠、一只老雄猫知道呢？不，虽然理性警告您保守秘密，您尽管学那寓言中的猴子，因为受了好奇心的驱使，到屋顶上去开了笼门，把鸟儿放出，自己钻进笼里去，结果连笼子一起掉下来跌死吧。 王后你放心吧，要是言语来自呼吸，呼吸来自生命，只要我一息犹存，就绝不会让我的呼吸泄漏了你对我所说的话。 哈姆莱特我必须到英国去，您知道吗？ 王后唉！我忘了，这事情已经这样决定了。 哈姆莱特公文已经封好，打算交给我那两个同学带去。对这两个家伙，我要像对待两条咬人的毒蛇一样随时提防；他们将要做我的先驱，引导我钻进什么圈套里去。我倒要瞧瞧他们的能耐。开炮的要是给炮轰了，也是一件好玩的事；他们会埋地雷，我要比他们埋得更深，把他们轰到月亮里去。what!用诡计对付诡计，不是顶有趣的吗？这家伙一死，多半会提早了我的行期；让我把这尸体拖到隔壁去。母亲，晚安！这一位大臣生前是个愚蠢饶舌的家伙，现在却变成非常谨严庄重的人了。来，老先生，让我把您拖下您的坟墓里去。晚安，母亲！ （各下。哈姆莱特拖波洛涅斯尸体入内）
