The Merchant of Venice 莎士比亚 2282Words 2018-03-20
Enter Salagno and Salarino. What's the news on the Salagno exchange? Salarino They all said there was a ship full of cargo capsized in the channel in Antonio; the place seems to be named Goodwin, and it is a dangerous sandy beach, where the wrecks of many large ships are said to be buried There, if those rumors are true. Salagno, I hope those rumors are like those old wives who have nothing to do when they are full, chew ginger, or pretend to cry for the death of her third husband with snot and tears unreliable.But that's true--No lorry Rosso nonsense, no trifling gossip--This good Antonio, just Antonio--Oh, I wish I had a good enough to describe him words! ——

Salarino is fine, stop talking. Salagno Hey!What did you say!In a word, he lost a ship. Salarino hopes this is his last loss. Salaenio told me to say "Amen" quickly, lest the devil interrupt my prayer, for he has come in the guise of a Jew. Enter Sherlock. Salaenio, Shylock!What news is there among the merchants? What news for Sherlock!My daughter has escaped, and you know this matter in more detail than anyone else. SARARINO Of course, even I know which tailor made her the wings that fly away. Salaenio Shylock himself did not know that she had grown feathers, and of course she was leaving her natal family.

Sherlock, she did such a shameless thing, she must go to hell when she dies. SARARINO It is a matter of course that the devil be her judge. Sherlock My own flesh and blood are against me! What did Salainho say, old man, at such an age, you still have trouble with yourself? SHERLOCK I mean my daughter is my own flesh and blood. Salarino Thy flesh is far worse than charcoal and ivory than hers; thy blood is worse than claret and white wine than her blood.But tell us, did you hear it said that Antonio was lost at sea? Sherlock talked about him, another bad thing for me.This prodigal, this poor family, he dare not show his face in the exchange; he usually goes to the market, so well dressed, now he has become a beggar.Let him be mindful of his loan; he's always calling me extortionate; let him be mindful of his loan; he's a Christian, never lends money with interest; let him be mindful of his loan Bar.

Salarino I'm sure you won't take his flesh if he doesn't pay the loan as promised; what's the use? Sherlock can use it for fishing; even if his meat is not good, at least it can give me a sigh of relief.He has dishonored me, taken my business of hundreds of thousands of dollars, ridiculed my losses, mocked my gains, scorned my nation, broken my deals, alienated my friends, stirred up my enemies; What is the reason?Just because I'm a Jew.Don't the Jews have eyes?Do the Jews have no senses, no feelings, no flesh?Doesn't he eat the same food, the same weapons can hurt him, the same medicine can heal him, the same cold in winter and the same heat in summer, just like a Christian?If you stab us with your sword, won't we also bleed?If you tickled us, wouldn't we laugh too?If you murder us with poison, won't we die too?So if you wronged us, wouldn't we take revenge?If we are all like you elsewhere, we are all like each other here too.If a Jew insults a Christian, how does the Christian show his humility?revenge.If a Christian insults a Jew, how should the Jew show tolerance according to the Christian example?revenge.You have taught me cruel methods, and I will definitely practice according to your teachings, and I will pay more respect.

Enter a Servant. Servants Gentlemen, Antonio, my master, is at home and wants to invite you to come and have a talk. Salarino We're looking for him everywhere. Enter Double. Salainio Here comes another of his kind; there will be no third like them in the world, unless the devil himself becomes a Jew. (Exit SALENO, SARARINO, and servants.) Sherlock, Dubur!What news from Genoa?did you find my daughter Du Boer, wherever I go, I often hear people talking about her, but I can never find her. Sherlock oops, oops!Oops!Oops!The diamond I bought for 2,000 yuan in the Frank House is also lost!The curse has only now fallen on our nation; I have not felt its power until now.That one diamond is two thousand dollars, and there are other precious precious jewels.I want my daughter to die at my feet, with those jewels on her ears; I want her to be buried at my feet, with all the money in her coffin!Don't know their whereabouts?Hmph, I don't know how much money I spent looking for them.You, you, you - loss after loss!The thief stole so much and went away, and spent so much to find the thief, but in the end he still got nothing, so he couldn't express his resentment.I am the only one who is unlucky, I am the only one who sighs, and I am the only one who sheds tears!

You're not alone in Dubbo's misfortune.I heard it said in Genoa that Antonio— Sherlock what?What?What?Is he also unlucky?Is he also unlucky? Duber—A great ship from Tripolis ran aground on the rocks. Sherlock thank God!thanks God!is that true?is that true? Dubbo I've talked to some sailors who got out of that ship. Sherlock Thank you, good Dubbo.Good news, good news!Ha ha!Where?Is it in Genoa? Duber heard your daughter spent eighty dollars a night in Genoa. Sherlock, you stabbed a knife into my heart!I will never see my silver again!All of a sudden it was eighty yuan!Eighty dollars!

Some of Antonio's creditors came to Venice with me, and they affirmed that he must be bankrupt this time. Sherlock I am very happy.I want to manipulate him; I want to make him know something.I am very happy. A man in Duber showed me a ring, and said your daughter bought him a monkey with it. Sherlock damn it!Dubor, it makes me sad that you mention it; it's my emerald ring, which my wife Leah gave me when we were unmarried; even if a troop of monkeys were sent to me In exchange, I don't want to give it to anyone. Duboer is definitely over for Antonio this time. Sherlock is right, it's true, it's true.Go, Du Boer, there is still half a month before the expiration of the loan contract, you can walk around the yamen for me and spend some money.If he breaks the promise, I'll dig out his heart; as long as Venice doesn't have him, business and business will depend on me.Go, go, Douber, let's meet in the synagogue.Good Dubor, go; see you in the synagogue, Dubor.
