Chapter 33 first act

Scene 1: City Wall [Essinore Castle in Denmark. On a platform of the city wall, guards Bernardo and Francis entered] {It was late at night, in the darkness, Francis was standing guard on the city wall, and Bernardo came to take over his shift} Bo: Who is there? {The successor asks this first} Buddha: No, you answer me! Stop, please show up! {Stand guard asks vigilantly} Bo: Long live my king! {This is the password} Buddha: Bernardo? Bo: Exactly. Buddha: You arrived on time. Bo: It's already midnight, go to sleep, Brother Buddha. Buddha: Thank you for coming to pick up my class.It's freezing cold tonight, and I'm sick in the chest.

Bo: Is everything still quiet? Buddha: Not even a single mouse made trouble. Bo: That's fine.Good night. If you see my companions Horatio and Marcelo, tell them to hurry. Buddha: I seem to hear them coming. [Enter Horatio and Marcello] Stop! Who is it? H: Friends of this place... Horse: Also a loyal subordinate of the King of Denmark. Buddha: Good night. Horse: Oh, goodbye, faithful soldier.Who replaced you? Buddha: Bernardo took my post.Good night. [out] Horse: Hello, Bernardo. Bo: Hello, is Horatio there? He: Part of him is (Note 1). Bo: Welcome, Horatio; welcome, good Marcello.

H: Did that thing reappear? Bo: I didn't see it. M: Brother He said that thing was just an illusion, Even though we've seen it twice, it's still unbelievable. So I invited him to watch with us tonight, When this thing appears, let him believe it at first sight, and ask him a question. H: Humph, it won't appear. {A look of disbelief} Bo: Please sit down a moment, Let us tell your unbelieving ears again, What we saw these two nights. H: OK, then let's sit down, Listen to Bernardo's account of the matter. Bo: Last night, Just to the west of Polaris {point to a star in the sky}

When this night sky is illuminated at the same location, Marcelo and I-- At that time, the clock had just struck... [ghost entry] Horse: Shh, stop.Look! It's here again! Bo: Just like the former king. Horse: You are learned, Horatio, you go and ask it (Note 2)! Bo: Do ​​you think it looks like a dead king? Look at it, Horatio! H: Really! It makes me tremble and amazed. Bo: It wants you to talk to it. Horse: Ask him about it, Horatio! He: {to the ghost} What is it that is rampant at this time of night? Why pretend to be the heroic figure of the buried majesty, and appear here in the battle robe of the former king?

In the name of Heaven, I charge you to answer! Ma: You violated it. Bo: Look, it slipped away! H: Stay! Speak, Speak, I order you! [ghost out] Ma: It left and refused to speak. Bo: What, Brother He, your face is pale and trembling, Do you still think this is just an illusion? He: With God's testimony, if I hadn't witnessed it myself, Then I still can't believe it! Ma: Don't you think it is very similar to our former king? H: As you are like yourself: The armor he wears, It was what he wore when he fought against the ambitious king of Norway. With a frown on his face,

Just like when he smashed the Polish snowmobile army on the ice field. This is really strange. Ma: It did this twice, in the dead of night, fully armed and appeared on our watch. H: I really don't know what to think. However, in my opinion, This may be a bad omen that our country will have a sudden change. M: Well, then, please sit down and tell me, if you know, Why do the citizens of our country have to be so vigilant every night, Why does our country have to cast bronze cannons every day and buy armaments from abroad? Why are shipbuilders forced to work 24/7 without vacation?

What external troubles, Need our country to work so hard day and night? Can anyone explain this to me? H: I can; at least according to legend: our former king --His form we have just seen-- had accepted a single challenge from the defiant King of Norway, Fortinbras. when our heroic king hamlet --This is well known in our country-- It was in this battle that Fortinbras was beheaded. Afterwards, according to the legal treaty established before the war, When Fortinbra was killed, he immediately gave up a piece of land he owned, If our king is killed instead, our country will also give up the same piece of land.

Who knows that the young and fierce and warlike Fortinbra Shao, He recruited troops and bought horses everywhere in Norway, gathered a group of outlaws, At this time, he is gearing up, aiming to restore the country lost by his father. I guess this is why our country has to be so vigilant day and night to double production. Bo: I expect the same. This also explains why this resembles the ghost of the former king To appear fully clothed in our watch; He is the central figure in this matter! H: It's incredible. On the eve of the assassination of Caesar in the former Roman Empire, The tombs are cracked, and the abandoned corpses are chattering in the streets,

And there are blood-red comets appearing in the sun, and the moon is obscured in the night due to the total eclipse. All kinds of ominous things are given to our people by heaven and earth A harbinger of national disaster! [ghost re-entry] Wait a minute, look, it's coming again! This time I will talk to it, Though it might kill me. [ghost spreads arms] Stop! Phantom, If you have a voice, speak up! If you have a good thing I can do it, and I can give you rest, Please explain. If you have a way to save our country from suffering, please let me know. Or you have buried some ill-gotten wealth during your lifetime, which haunts you,

Please also inform.Speak, stop! [The rooster begins to crow] Block it, Marcelo! {The ghost starts to dissipate} Horse: Shall I stab it with a halberd? H: Yes, if it won't stay! Bo: It's here! {point to a direction} H: It's here! {points in the other direction} [ghost out] Horse: It's gone. We should not be so rude to offend the ghost of the former king. It is as light as air, unfathomable. The recklessness just now only showed our hostility. Bo: Before the rooster crows, it begins to speak. H: Then it runs away like a sinner seeing a warrant. It is rumored that the rooster is the front horn of the dawn,

With a resounding voice it awakened the god of day, And warn all wandering spirits in water, fire, earth, and air Quickly avoid. What I have seen today further confirms this legend. Horse: The ghost is dissipating when the rooster crows; It is also said that on Christmas Eve, the rooster crows all night, All ghosts and gods dare not travel, Therefore, the night is clear and the sky is free from evil stars, Fairies don't make trouble, witches don't have curses. This is a glorious and holy day! H: I heard that too, and generally believed it. Behold, the God of Dawn has set foot on the eastern foothills, clothed in bright red, We can break up. However, I think we should take what we saw tonight Tell little Hamlet. I bet the ghost would be speechless to us, but he would have something to say to him. Do you think we should do this according to our friendship and position? M: Let's do it like this.I know where we can meet him this morning. [All out] Translator's note: (1). Horatio stretched out a hand from the darkness, so it is called "a part." 』 (2). Both Marcelo and Bernardo are soldiers, but Horatio has studied and is a classmate of Hamlet, so Marcelo believes that only Horatio is qualified to talk to ghosts. The second scene: a hall in the castle [The trumpet sounds.King Claudius of Denmark, Queen Gertrude, courtiers Futman, Connorini, Polonius and his son Laerti, and Hamlet and others entered. ] King: I think that my brother Hamlet, the late king, died not long ago, Its memory is still fresh. Today, the whole country mourns, and the heart is cut open. This is our duty! But now reason shall take the place of nature, Don't forget your job even in grief. Therefore, I decided to join hands with my ex-sister-in-law, who is now the empress, To rule the world together. It's like there is joy in sorrow; one eye is mournful, and the other eye is joyful. There is no lack of joy in funerals, and there is also mourning in wedding banquets. I think it is appropriate to balance the two feelings of sorrow and joy with more consideration. I also haven't forgotten that all the ministers have worked tirelessly inside, and have put in their best words for this beautiful matter, It goes without saying that the widow is grateful. Another important thing you know: Fortinbra Shao has always despised our country, Now when the king collapsed, Fu believed that his country was in chaos, his ambition was longer, and he was arrogant, He has repeatedly sent letters to harass, demanding that our country return the legal territory it lost to the former king. Let's not talk about this guy! Let's discuss our important matter, which is the reason for our promotion to the court. Here it is: The widow has sent a letter to the king of Norway, the uncle of Fortinbrassau, He was asked to stop his nephew from being big, because his nephew's team and luggage all came from his common people. Unexpectedly, he was ill on the couch for a long time, lost all vitality, and had no idea what his nephew was doing. Therefore, the widow has now specially sent two members, Fu Teman and Conlini, to Norway to send this letter to the old king, hoping that he can clearly observe it. This letter is detailed, and Fu and Kong have no right to discuss the rest. I hope the two of you will take care and leave soon. Fu, Kong: This is like everything, and the ministers and others will go all out. Wang: I have no doubt.Goodbye. [Fu and Kong come out] {To Laerte}Anyway, Laerte, what's new? I heard that you have something to ask, and I will tell you; It's a reasonable request, and I will never let you waste your words in vain. Whatever you ask, Laerte, is there anything I have not promised you? Your father and this king are related like the head of the heart, and the mouth and the hand are also connected! What do you want, Laerte? Ray: Your Majesty, I hope you will allow me to return to France. The minister intends to return to China from France to participate in His Majesty's coronation ceremony. This matter is complete, and my heart is directed to the Dharma. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. King: What did your father Polonius say? Do you have his permission? Bo: Yes, my lord, after his constant begging, I finally reluctantly agreed to him. I hope you can do the same for him. Wang: Please seize the time, it belongs to you; you can do as you like. {Raelti bows and leaves.The king turns to Hamlet, who is still in deep thought. } My dear nephew Hamlet, my son... Ha: [Privately] Although they are blood relatives, they are not of the same kind (Note 1). Wang: Why are you still shrouded in dark clouds? Hal: No, my lord, I have had too many suns (Note 2). Queen: My darling, shake off that dark cloud quickly. You should look kindly upon your lord, Stop looking for your father in the dust with those mournful eyes. You should know that all living things must die; handed down from life to eternity, This is commonplace in the world. H: Yes, this is normal. Hou: Knowing this, why do you have that brooding look? Ha: "Appearance", Queen Mother? No, that's because I am like this. I don't understand what you mean by "appearance". I am like a shawl of ink, mother, or dark filial piety, or frequent laments, Or a channel of tears, or dejected look, or any similar form, expression of mourning, Can't express my heart.For these are indeed the "shape," Everyone can pretend. What I have in my heart is far beyond expression. Those are just vases of sorrow and clothes. King: You pay tribute to your father so much, and show your filial piety, It's really good. But you should also know that your father also lost his father, His father lost his father even more.Those who are children are filial, It should be remembered for a while.But endless mourning is not a man's love, Rather, it is the obstinacy of impiety to heaven, the tendency of weakness of will, It is also impatience and lack of knowledge. Now that you know that God's will cannot be escaped, then you should accept it as normal, why should you always worry about it? Hmph, this is a style that goes against the way of heaven, against the dead, against nature, and against reason. These four are from ancient times to the present, from the first being a father to the present deceased, They all told us: "It is inevitable that the father will die." So, I beg you to bury your blind melancholy and see me as your father, And let the world know that you are the next heir to the throne, And my love for you is in no way owed to a father's love for his own children! As for your desire to return to Weitenberg (Note 3) to study, I am very opposed to it. I hope you can stay here and let the widow take care of you, Make you a great minister, beloved nephew, and child of the widow. After: Don't make your mother's wish come true, Hamlet, I beg you to stay with us and don't go back to Wittenberg. Hal: I'll do my best to obey you, mother. Wang: OK, good answer! Please feel free when you are in Denmark.Come here, madam. I was delighted by Hamlet's gentle and heartfelt reply. Before drinking to celebrate today, I will let Qingyun know by firing a giant cannon; Let the thunderbolt reach the sky, celebrate with the sky! Come, let's go. [The trumpet sounds again, and all come out, leaving only Hamlet] Ha: Alas, I only hope that the flesh and blood can be instantly transformed into nectar, and there is no prohibition in the sky for human beings to kill themselves; God, God, Everything in the world is boring, dull, and flat to me, which also makes me feel lazy. That's all, that's all.Like an untended garden swallowed by tufts of grass, This is how it happened. Only passed away two months, no, less than two months, Such a perfect monarch... In contrast, it is like the sun god, the colorist {nodding in the direction of his uncle}... My late father was so loving and caring towards my mother that he even refused to let the strong wind caress her cheek. My God! Don't I remember? She snuggled up to him too, It seems to have infinite love.However, within a month... Alas, don't think about it...Weakness, your name is "Woman!" In just one month, the shoes she wore when following her late father's coffin were still new! At that time, she cried into tears, just like Nai Youbi (Note 4). Why is she like this now? Even her! God, even a shameless brute mourns longer. But she married my uncle within a month, Don't wait for the false tears in the crying red eye frame to dry up. Although he is my father's younger brother, they are not the same, It's like I'm Bikhulus (Note 5). Alas, it was too fast, so swiftly jumped into the incest mattress (Note 6). This is wrong, and it will have no good results. My heart will break because I can't say much. [Enter Horatio, Marcello, and Bernardo. ] He: Your Highness, please greet me. Hal: I'm glad to see you all right, Horatio, I almost forgot about you. H: Yes, I am still a loyal servant of His Highness. Hal: Sir, friend, I would like to exchange this title with you. What brought you here from Wittenberg, Horatio? {Meet He's Companions}--Marcelo? Ma: {Salute} Your Highness. Hal: Nice to meet you too. [to Bernardo] Good night, sir. {to Horatio}What brought you here from Wittenberg? He: It's my sexual ruffian who played truant, Your Highness. Hal: I won't allow your enemies to speak of you like that, So, I don't want to hear such harsh words from you. I know you're not a truant. But what is your role in Elsinore? We'll have a drink before you go. He: Your Highness, I'm here to attend your father's funeral. Ha: Don't be kidding me, classmate, I think you're here for my mother's wedding. H: Really, it came really fast too. Ha: Hurry up, Hurry up. Horatio, cold meat from a funeral It was also put on the wedding table. I'd rather meet my worst enemy in heaven, And I don't want to see that day, Horatio. My father, I think I met my father... He: {panic}Where is it, Your Highness? Hal: In the eyes of my sanity, Horatio. H: I met him once too, he is a good king. Ha: He's a perfect man, I will never see his face again. H: Your Highness, I think I saw him last night. Ha: See you? Who? He: Your Highness, the late king, your father. Ha: The previous king? My father? H: Please don't panic, Two gentlemen testify here, And let me slowly relate this miracle to you. Ha: God! Let me listen! H: Two nights in a row, these gentlemen - Marcello and Bernardo - In the dead of their watchful night, To see an armed figure resembling your father from head to toe appear, The majestic stroll preceded them, so close at hand. When it appeared like this three times, it made them frightened into a mess, I was stunned and didn't know what to do. When they secretly told me about this, I decided to watch with them on the third night. There, at the hour of which they speak, and as they describe the image of the former king, The ghost appeared and confirmed everything they had said. I know your father as I know my palms. {spread hands} H: Where is this? Horse: Your Highness, it is on the watchtower of the city wall. HA: Did you talk to it? H: Yes, Your Highness, But it won't answer me. Once I thought it raised its head, But when the rooster was crowing, And it disappeared without a trace. H: That's really weird. H: I swear to God, my lord, it's all true, And it is our duty to tell you about it. HA: Of course, gentlemen. But this bothers me. Are you still on duty tonight? Quanren: Yes, Your Highness. H: You said he was armed? Everyone: Armed, Your Highness. Ha: From head to foot? Whole person: Your Highness, from head to foot. Hal: So, you saw his face? H: Yes, Your Majesty, the visor of his helmet is open. Ha: Then what is his face like, is it glaring? H: His expression is sad rather than angry. H: Pale or blood red? H: Well, very pale. Hal: Does he keep looking at you? H: Non-stop. HA: I just wish I was there. H: You will be surprised. Ha: Definitely will. Does it last long? He: About hundreds of times. Ma and Bai: longer, longer. H: It hasn't been that long since I saw it. H: Is his beard grizzled? He: Just like what I saw when he was alive, black and gray. Hal: I'm going to keep watch tonight too, maybe it'll show up again. H: I believe it will. Ha: If it appeared in the face of the father, Even if hell breaks loose and orders me to be silent, I must also speak to it. I beg you to continue to keep this and what will happen tonight, Let's take it for granted.I will repay this kindness. Well, let's meet again on the city wall tonight between eleven and twelve o'clock. Whole Man: We will be loyal to you. Ha: I will return your love too.goodbye. [Heriotto, Marcello, and Bernardo come out. ] The spirit of my late father, armored! This is not a good thing. I suspect there is something wrong with it; just hope to come quickly tonight, Until then, I shall be patient.If there is any sinister thing, No matter how deeply it is buried, it will eventually be revealed. [out] Translator's note: (1). Here, Hamlet emphasizes that although the king is related by blood, he is actually a completely different species. (2). The English "sun" has the same pronunciation as "son", which is ironic here. (3). Wittenberg University was established in 1502 AD, which does not match the age in the play. (4). Naiyoubi: A girl in Greek mythology who weeps constantly for losing her child and turns into a stone, but tears still flow out of it. (5). Hercules: A hero in Greek mythology with invincible power. (6). According to the canons of the Middle Ages, a husband and wife are united and become one body; if a brother dies and a younger brother marries a wife, it is equivalent to incest. Scene 3: Inside the House of Polonius [Enter Laerti and Ophelia] Lei: My luggage is already on board. Goodbye. When the wind is smooth and sailing, Don't forget to write to me. O: Do you doubt this? Ray: As for Hamlet's interest in you, That's just the temporary enthusiasm of young people. Like the beginning of love, Lively, but not eternal; sweet but not lasting, It will only leave a burst of fragrance in the air, never much! O: Is that all? Ray: That's all. Because of the growth of a person, not only the strength of the body, And it must be connected with the growth of will and soul. Maybe he really loves you now, maybe he is indeed a gentleman, But you have to worry about whether his will belongs to him because of his background and status. He has no freedom for ordinary people, because his decision is the key to the country, So everything has its own considerations.Even if he told you he loved you then, You can only trust him at your own discretion, Because maybe that's just a good policy that conforms to the will of the people! So you have to be careful not to fall in love with him because of his love songs or pleadings, or lose yourself easily. Please consider this, Ophelia, please consider this, dear sister. I advise you to stay away from the temptation of lust and to cleanse yourself; The virgin does not show her beauty to the moon, Virtue is no match for defamation of word of mouth. Spring buds are often hurt by moths but not flowered, Teenagers are more likely to be tempted and corrupted. You should be afraid of these, for only fear can keep you safe. Young people are full of blood. Ou: I should take this lesson to heart. However, brother, I also hope you are not like some priests, Show me the rough and thorny road to heaven, But he himself embarked on the colorful avenue of debauchery and misbehavior. Forget about your teachings completely. Lei: You don't need to be afraid of these. [Enter Polonius] I have been waiting too long, and now my father has arrived. A double farewell is twice as good, I can say goodbye to my father again. Bo: You're still here, Laerte? Get on board, get on board quickly, shame on you! The wind has blown full sail, and the boat is waiting for you. You have my blessing, {kiss Raelti on the cheek} Also, I want you to keep these maxims in mind: Keep silent about matters of the heart, Don't act rashly, Be friendly and avoid frivolity, Friends in need can make deep friendships, The love of wine and meat should be kept away. Avoid disputes with others, but once you have them, make them fear you. Everything needs to listen more but talk less, Listen to the opinions of others, but reserve your own judgment. Dress in the best clothes you can afford, The material should be noble, but avoid vulgarity, Because the clothes often represent the person; I have heard that the French nobles are especially particular about this. Don't lend money to your friends and don't lend money to your friends, Because the latter often leads to the loss of wealth and friends. And the former is the first to waive the fee. Most importantly: don't deceive yourself, In this way, just as the night follows the day, you will not deceive others. Farewell, I hope my prayers will enable you to fulfill the above. Ray: It is with humility and heart that I bid you farewell, Father. BO: Time is short; your attendants have been waiting. Ray: Goodbye, Ophelia, please remember what I told you. Ou: It has been locked in my heart, And only you have the key. Ray: Goodbye. [Rael proposed] Bo: What did he say to you? O: Tell father something about Hamlet. Bo: That's a coincidence. I also heard that he spends a lot of time on you recently, And you openly befriend him. If so, I should tell you, as someone advised me: Perhaps you do not fully understand the implications for your reputation or that of my daughter. How is it between you? Please come from the truth. O: He often expresses his love for me recently, father. Bo: Love? Ha! You talk like an immature little girl, Completely ignorant of the seriousness of this matter. Do you believe his so-called "shows of love" to you? O: I don't know what to think, father. Bo: Well, let me tell you: You are like an innocent baby, Treat these counterfeit coins of love he gave you as real money. You must increase your worth, Otherwise, you'd make me - to paraphrase - a fool (note 1)! Ou: {surprised} But, father, he is pursuing me sincerely. Bo: Forget your so-called sincerity, forget it. Ou: He once solemnly swore to God. Bo: Well, these are just traps for stupid birds! I also know that when people are impulsive, their mouths are full of sweet words. These flames, my daughter, are only bright but not hot, And the moment will go out - even when he is promising you. You must not regard it as the real fire of love. Starting today, you should keep a distance from him, and don't call him immediately. To your lord Hamlet, you only have to remember he's still young, And none of your concerns. In short, Ophelia, don't believe his promises to you, Because they lack the color of truth, but are just hypocrisy, improper and evil demands. This is the last time I tell you clearly: From now on, I will not allow you to waste your precious time talking to His Royal Highness Hamlet. This is my order, you must do it. let's go! O: I will obey your orders. [two out] Translator's note: (1). "Become a fool": A common saying at the time, meaning the grandfather of an illegitimate child. Scene 4: On the platform of the city wall [Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcelo enter. ] Ha: The wind is biting, so cold! H: It bites really tight too. H: What time is it now? He: It's not yet twelve o'clock. M: No, the bell has already rung. H: Really? I didn't hear that. It is almost time for the soul to travel. [The sound of a trumpet is heard from the castle, followed by two bangs of cannon. ] What is this, Your Highness? Ha: The king is drinking and having fun, singing and dancing. As he poured down his throat the great goblet of wine, The drums and trumpets sounded together to add to the fun with him. H: Is this a custom? HA: Yes, it is. However, in my opinion, although I am also a local, It is better not to follow this custom, For these drunken orgies only make us laugh at us; They fouled our reputation by calling us drunkards and pigs. Even though we have our brilliance, these names do bring shame on us. Some people often get similar encounters. They have natural misfortunes, such as inherited certain defects-these cannot be blamed on them, Because they couldn't pick their parents--or lose their minds by yin and yang, Or because their behavior is different, they will be ostracized forever. No matter how noble and pure their hearts are, Their reputations will be forever tarnished by this blemish. A small stain can obliterate all the goodness of a person. [ghost entry] He: Look! Your Highness, it's coming! Ha: God bless us! {to the ghost} Whether you are a good soul or an evil ghost, What you bring is the fragrance of heaven or the flames of hell, Are your intentions malevolent or benevolent, Your form makes me ask you: I will call you Hamlet, King, Father, King of Denmark, Ah, answer me, don't let me burst into ignorance. Tell me why your sacramented bones are torn from the grave, Why does the heavy sarcophagus open its lid and cast you away, Why must dead corpses come back fully armed to haunt the moonlight and terrorize the night, It also troubles the living, unable to think about its meaning? Tell us why, why? What do you want us to do? [ghost gestures with hand] He: It beckons you to come over. It seems that it wants to talk to you alone. Horse: Look, it greets you politely and wants to take you far away. But don't go with it. He: Don't go, don't go! Ha: It is speechless, so I have no choice but to go with it. He: Don't go, Your Highness! Ha: What is there to be afraid of? I have long regarded my life as light as a feather; As for my soul, which is also an eternal thing, what can it do with it? It waved to me again.I passed. H: If it lures you to the edge of the sea or the cliffs by the shore, Then reveal its horrifying truth and make you lose your mind or go crazy, so what should you do? Your Highness, please think again! Even if you look down at the torrential sea from the height of the cliff, you will feel dizzy and have strange thoughts. Let alone now? Ha: It's beckoning again. {To the ghost} Come on, I'll go with you. Ma: Your Highness, don't go! Ha: Get your hands off! He: Listen to us, don't go! Ha: {Struggling to get out of the way}My heart is crying, My veins are filled with the courage of a lion (Note 1). It called me again.Let me go, gentlemen. I swear, if anyone stands in my way, I will make him a ghost too! go away! I say. {suddenly draws out the long sword} {To the ghost} Come on, I'll go with you. [The ghost comes out, Hamlet follows] H: He's crazy. Ma: We follow him, we cannot listen to him. H: We follow him and see what happens. M: Bad things are going to happen in Denmark. H: God has his own arrangement. Ma: No, let's follow! [All out] Translator's note: (1). Naimen lion: the fierce beast killed by Hercules in Greek mythology. Scene 5: City Wall [Into the Ghost and Hamlet] Hal: Where are you taking me? Answer me, I'm not going anymore. Ghost: Listen to me. HA: OK. Ghost: It's almost dawn, Then I will return to the place burned by brimstone and fire. Hal: Alas, poor ghost. Ghost: Don't pity me, but please pay attention to these things I will expose. H: Speak, I will certainly listen. Ghost: After hearing this, will you seek revenge? ha: what? Ghost: I am the spirit of your father. At this time, because of the sentence, wandering back to the night, burning in the sun, Until the evil obstacles of my life are washed away and burned. I am so miserable that I can't speak, and I can't say what I'm in prison at this time, Otherwise, I have a story to tell, It will make your heart ache, your blood freeze, your eyes pop, your hair straighten, and your hair stand on end. It is a pity that the secrets of the future generations must not be leaked to the ears of flesh and blood! Listen, listen, listen, if you ever loved your father. H: Ah, God! Ghost: Revenge for his vicious and anti-polar murder! Ha: Murder! Ghost: Murder is usually vicious, But this is the most vicious, strange, and unethical murder. Ha: Tell me quickly, and I will fly to avenge you in the blink of an eye. Ghost: Well said! If you are not heartbroken upon hearing this, Then you are weaker than the reeds born on the banks of the Forgotten Soul. Hamlet, listen: According to legend, when I took a nap in the garden, was bitten by a viper, and the eyes and ears of all Denmark were so deceived. But, you know, the snake that killed your father is wearing his crown at this moment! Ha: Oh, as I expected, my uncle! Ghost: Yes, that is the beast of incest and adultery. He used cunning sorcery, a rebellious mind, and seductive artifice, Seduced my outwardly virtuous queen, and made her bewitched by her shameless animal desire. Alas, Hamlet, what a sad fall it is, From my solemn, sublime and unwavering love, just like the promise I made to her when I got married, She has fallen to this day and promised to love such a despicable, such a low-talented person. exactly: A virgin shall not be deluded by lust, though lust may disguise itself as an angel; A slut is always obscene on the holy couch, although this woman is married to the holy. Wait, I can smell the morning breath, So let me put it bluntly: One day when I was taking my afternoon nap in the garden, as was my custom, Uncle Ru took advantage of my unpreparedness and poured a bottle of hateful poison into my ear. This paralyzing venom sees human blood, It immediately flowed into all the veins of the whole body as quickly as mercury. After a while of churning, it coagulates the original thin and healthy blood into a paste, Like strong acid dripping into milk. The same is true of this venom on me. It made the smooth skin of my whole body fester, And covered with thick scabs like bark, As if suffering from madness. My brother took my life, my crown, and my queen in such a moment in my sleep, So that I have no chance to repent of my sins or receive the blessings of the sacraments on my deathbed, And unprepared, he took the crime to the underworld for trial.Ah, terrible, terrible, really terrible! (Note 1) If you have a conscience, don't suffer silently, Don't let the bed of the Danish royal family become a bed of hateful lust and incest. But no matter how you go about it, don't get revenge on your mother in your head. Leave her to the judge of heaven, to be condemned and prodded by her own conscience. Now I have to say goodbye to you hastily.The light of the fireflies has dimmed, and the dawn is near. Bye, bye, bye, please remember me. [ghost out] Ha: Oh, the gods of heaven and earth! What else? Shall we also call upon the demons of hell? Alas, {cover your chest} My heart will not be broken, my muscles will not grow old, Let me stand firm. Remember you? Yes, poor ghost, as long as my stupid head has memory. Remember you? Yes, I will put all the trivia, the wisdom of books, And the experience gained by juvenile learning is all wiped out. Only your instructions will remain in my head and will never be mixed with other things. It will, I swear to God. Ah, most vicious woman! O villain, villain, damned villain with a smile on his face! My notes {search its mouth to bring}, I should write these down: "Someone can laugh and laugh and still be a villain," At least in Denmark I can be sure of this. [Writing while speaking] Well, uncle, make a note of it. From now on my motto will be: "Goodbye, goodbye, remember me," I swear! [Enter Horatio and Marcello] He: Your Highness! Your Highness! Horse: Your Highness Hamlet! H: God bless him! H: [privately] I hope so. Ma: Xiluo, heh, heh (Note 2), Your Highness! Ha: Xiluo, heh, heh, little boy.Come on, birds. Ma: Your Highness is in good health? He: What have you heard? H: Ah, it's appalling! H: Well, Your Highness, tell us. Hal: No, you guys will tell it to other people. H: I won't, Your Highness, I swear. Ma: Neither will I, Your Highness. Ha: {start talking} How to put it...does anyone think so... {sudden stop} Will you keep it a secret? H, M: Yes, we swear. Ha: {Close up and speak in a low voice} There is not a villain in all Denmark who is not a pure gangster... He: Your Highness, there is no need for a ghost to come out of the grave and tell us this! Hal: Oh, yes, you are absolutely right. Well, let's stop here and shake hands and say goodbye. Everyone has something to do, so we still go our separate ways and go our separate ways. As for me, I'm off to pray. H: What you say is incoherent, my lord. HA: I'm sorry it offended you, really, really. He: It doesn't matter, Your Highness. HA: No, in the name of St. Patrick, it does matter, Horatio, very much. Let me say this: what we just saw, was a real ghost. As for you, if you want to know what we talked about, please bear with me a little, Friends--you are worthy friends, scholars, and soldiers-- Please grant me a small request. H: What request, Your Highness? We will oblige. HA: Never expose what we saw tonight. He, Ma: We won't, Your Highness. HA: No, swear. H: I swear, Your Highness, I won't. Ma: I also swear I won't, Your Highness. Ha: Swear by my sword {Note 3}. M: We have sworn oath, Your Highness. Ha: {hold on}Yeah, but hold my sword this time, yeah. Ghost: [From underground] Swear! Ha: Ah, ha, boy, you say that too? Are you there? Honest old fellow. Come on, you heard what the guy in the cellar said, swear! H: Please suggest the oath you want, Your Highness. Ha: "Never reveal what you have seen." ’ Swear by my sword. {Everyone puts their hands on their swords} Ghost: {from another place underground} swear! [everyone swears] Hal: One moment here, one moment over there? Okay, let's change places. come here gentlemen Then lay your hands on my sword, Swear by the sword: "Never reveal what you have heard. 』 Ghost: Swear by his sword! [everyone swears] Hal: Well said, old mole, you drill so fast? What an entrencher! Let's move again, friends. H: Ah, day and night, what a strange thing! H: Just welcome it as if it were a foreigner. The world is so big, Horatio, so much more than you can dream of. Come on, just like before, swear you'll never...God help you. No matter how strange my behavior may be in the future -- because maybe I'm going to play crazy on purpose -- If you saw me then, Just don't tie your hands like this, or shake your head like this {learn that way}, or say something like a riddle "Well, we know...", or "We can, if we like...", or "If we would speak...", or "Some people can say more...", Or any other parody to imply that you know the truth about me. Swear these, by the mercy of God, in your hour of greatest need. Ghost: Swear! [everyone swears] Ha: Rest in peace, rest in peace, restless soul. {to Horatio and Marcello} Well, gentlemen, The humble Hamlet here expresses his friendship and concern for you with all his heart, Though God knows you don't lack both. Let us go into the castle together. And please don't forget, I beg you to keep your mouth shut. The current situation is really bad, alas, I hate that I am the one appointed to take care of this matter. Forget it! Come on, let's go together. [All out] {end of first act} Translator's note: (1). According to Western beliefs, if a person repents before death, his soul can go directly to heaven, otherwise the soul must first go to hell to be punished to wash away the evils of life.
