Where are Mrs. Ford and her team of elves now?And that Welsh devil, Reverend Hugh? Mrs. Paige, and all of them, shaded their lamps, hid themselves in a pit near the Herne Oak; Mrs. Ford that would surprise him. If Mrs Page doesn't frighten him, we'll laugh at him; if he does, we'll laugh at him anyway. Mrs. Ford, we are not afraid that he will not fall into the trap this time.

Another part of the fifth forest garden Enter Falstaff as Hearne with the Buck's head. Falstaff Windsor's clock had struck twelve, and the hour was drawing near.Lascivious gods, take care of me!Remember, great god Qiao Wu, you were once transformed into a bull for your lover Europa's sake, and love made horns on your head.O mighty love!It turns animals into humans and humans into animals.Moreover, God Qiao Wu, you even turned into a swan for your beloved Leda⑾.Almighty love!You almost turned the countenance of a god like a goose!What a sin: to be a beast in the first place—oh, my God, there is nothing human about that sin!And then he should have turned into a wild bird--think about it, God, what a beastly crime!Since the gods are also greedy, what can we poor mortals do?As for me, well, I'm a buck here at Windsor; and the fattest buck in this wood.God, let me have a cool mating period, or who can blame me for excreting some fat. ——Who is coming?my doe?

Enter Mrs Ford and Mrs Page. Lord Ford, are you here, my buck?my dear buck? Falstaff my black-tailed doe!Let the raindrops fall from the sky as big as potatoes Come on, let it sound like a lewd song Come on, let the sugar plums and spring love grass fall like hail and snowflakes, just let me hide in your arms, what I am not afraid of strong wind and heavy rain. (Hugs Mrs. Ford.) Mrs. Ford's Mrs. Paige came with me too, dear. Falstaff Then cut me up like a stolen stag, each with a thigh, and two ribs for myself, and the shoulder for the gardener, and these two Just corner, give your husband a souvenir.Ha ha!Do you think I look like Hunter Herne?Cupid was a boy of conscience, and now he's giving me a taste of the sweetness.I welcome you in the name of ghosts! (Internal noise.)

Mrs. Page, oh!what sound? Lord Ford, please forgive our sins! What's the matter with Falstaff? Lady Ford Miss Page, run away!run away! (The two run down.) Falstaff I think it's probably because the devil doesn't want me to go to hell, because I've got too much oil on me, and I'm afraid there will be a fire in hell, or he won't do it to me again and again. Evans pretends to be the goat god Sartre⑿, Pistol pretends to be a goblin, Ann Paige pretends to be a fairy queen, William and some children pretend to be elf attendants, with small candles on their heads, ibid.

Black, gray, green, and white fairies, Revelers in the moonlight, ghosts in the night, You are the children of creation without parents, Do not forget the office of each of you. The little demon of the order, announce to all the elves for me. All the elves of Pistol, listen to the call, and make no noise! Cricket, jump into someone's chimney, To see if the ashes in their furnaces are swept away; Our fairy queen hates the lazy servant girl most, When I saw it, I wrung her until she was covered in bruises. Falstaff They are fairies, Whoever speaks to them shall die; let me close my eyes and lie down, For the affairs of the fairies are not allowed to be seen by mortals. (Falls on the ground.)

Where is Everspeed?You go to see who's girl, Three prayers were said before going to bed, You quietly put an end to her delusions, Let her sleep as sweetly as a baby; Whoever sleeps without thinking of his faults, You want them to suffer from numb backs and sore hands and feet. Ann go, go, elf! Search Windsor Castle inside and outside: Every hallowed hall spreads luck, Let it stand tall and unbroken, Bless its homestead to be consolidated and its portal to grow new, A splendid mansion befitting a virtuous owner! Every dignified throne is swept and washed with heart, Sprinkled with evil flower perfume,

Bless that Wenling embroidered tiles, painted pillars and carved beams, Long live Qianqiu shines with glory forever! Night after night you join hands in the grass, Pulled into a circle and danced and sang, Leave your footprints on the morning grass, Clusters of lush green color; Then use flowers of various colors in blue, purple, pink and white, Wrote down the immortal language in the book of heaven, "clean heart and get rid of evil", Like clusters of colorful pearls, Like the embroidered garments of a handsome knight; The grass is the paper of the gods, and the flowers are the symbols of the gods. Go, go, east to east, west to west! When the bell rings, don't forget We'll also dance around the Herne Oak. Evans, everyone lined up, everyone held hands, Twenty fireflies light our lanterns, Dancing under the shade of our trees. wait!Where does the anger come from? Lord Falstaff, keep me from being seen by that old Welsh monster, who'll turn me into a piece of cheese! Pistol bad stuff!You're a born bastard. Ann let me burn his fingertips with hellfire, See if his heart is pure or dirty: If his heart is pure, and fire cannot hurt him, Those who cry out in pain must have bad intentions. Come on Bistor, give it a try! Evans, come and see if this wood is afraid of fire. (They burn Falstaff with candles.) O Falstaff!what!what! Evans is so bad, so bad, this guy is vicious and vicious! Elves, sing a song to make fun of him; Jumping around him, twisting him sorely and numbly. Song Humph, sinful delusion! Humph, obscurity of lust! Lust is a fire of blood, Unclean evil thoughts light it up, Infatuation fanned its flame, Delusion blows it up and down. Elves, screw him, Do not spare the wicked; Screw him, burn him, dragging him around, Wait until the stars, the moon and the candles are all dark. The elves sang and twisted Falstaff.Caius came up from one side and stole an elf in green; Slander came up from the other side and stole an elf in white; Fenton came up and stole Ann Page.With the sound of the hunter's horn and the sound of dogs barking, all the elves dispersed one after another.Falstaff tore off the deer's head and stood up. Page, Ford, Mrs. Page, Mrs. Ford, and take Falstaff. Peggy, don't run away; now you'll show us; must you pretend to be Hunter Herne? Mrs. Page, come on, let's not joke with him all the time.Good lord, do you like the girls of Windsor now?See that beautiful pair of antlers, husband?Wouldn't it be more fitting to leave this pair of antlers in the woods than to take them to the city? Sir Ford, who is the big bastard now?Master Barlock, Falstaff is a bastard, a bastard; and he has horns on his head, Master Barlock!Mr. Baroch, he got nothing from Ford, except a basket of dirty clothes, a meal stick, and twenty pounds, which is to be recovered from him, Poirot. Master Clark; I have secured his horse, Master Baroch. Mrs. Ford, it's just our bad luck, there is no fate, and good things always take a long time.I will never regard you as my lover again, but I will always remember you as my stag. FALSTAFF I now understand that I was made an ass by you. Ford is not only a stupid donkey, but also a stupid cow, this is all obvious at a glance. Falstaff So these are not elves?I have suspected that they are not elves three or four times, but one is because I have a guilty conscience, and the other is because of the sudden and strange things that frighten me out of my head, so I will take this kind of deception full of flaws as the truth, even though it is ridiculous. It is reasonable, and it will convince me that a person who has done bad things will be fooled even though he is extremely clever. Sir Evans Falstaff, if you worship God and be free from lust, the fairies will not screw you. Ford is right, Mr. Hugh. Evans, and your jealousy, too. Ford, I will never doubt my wife again, unless one day you can speak English to pursue my wife. Falstaff Have I plucked out my brains and dried them in the sun, so I can't see even such an obvious deception?Could an old Welsh goat play tricks on me?Shall I make myself a fool's cockscomb hat out of Welsh homespun?That said, I'd choke myself up on grilled cheese. Evans steel cheese can't boil any twist oil-you have a big belly full of twist oil. Falstaff is "steel cheese" and "twist oil" again!Can't imagine that I am alive today, but I am made fun of by that guy who can't even speak English?That's all!This can be regarded as the fate of my greedy and lustful! Mrs. Paige, although we are willing to kick away those three obediences and four virtues, and are willing to die and go to hell for the sake of pleasure; but what ghost has possessed you to make you believe that we will like you? Ford a hash pudding like you?A bag of rotten twine? Mrs. Page, a fat floating corpse? Paige is old, cold, dry, and dirty? Ford spread rumors everywhere like a devil? Peggy, a poor lonely old man? Ford is as cunning as an old woman? Evans just spent his life and drinking, playing with women, drinking white wine and honey wine, staring at others when he was drunk, cursing and arguing? Falstaff Well, tell me what you want; if my luck falls into your hands, I won't bother to quarrel with this Welsh goat.No matter which ignorant fool can bully me, just listen to how you deal with me. Well, my lord, we're going to take you to Windsor to see a Mr. Barlock, whom you've cheated out of, and not done for; Asking you to return the money, I think you must be very heartbroken, right? Mrs. Ford, no, my husband, he has already received retribution, so let’s forget about the money; it’s better to settle enemies than to end them, let’s not push them too far. Hello Ford, let's hold hands, we don't need to mention the past. Don't be upset, Knight Peggy, come over to my house tonight for a glass of kefir.My wife made fun of you just now, and I will ask you to accompany me to make fun of her later.Tell her that Slender is married to her daughter. Ms. Page (narrator) The doctors won't believe his nonsense.If Ann Page had been my daughter, she would have been Dr Caius's wife by this time. Enter Slender. Ouch!Ouch!Father-in-law, it’s bad! Page How, what, son-in-law, have you got the job done? Slender done!Well, I'll let Gloucestershire know it; or let you hang me! Page What's the matter, son-in-law? Swid, I went to Iron to get married with Miss An? Who knows that she is a tall and big and stupid boy; if it is not in the church, I must take him a meal. , maybe he will beat me up too.I thought he really was Ann Page--what a waste of time! -- Who knew he was the postmaster's son. Page Then you must be mistaken. Needless to say, Slender?I mistook a boy for a girl, of course.If I did marry him, I wouldn't want him, even though he was dressed in women's clothes. Peppa, it's your own stupidity.Didn't I tell you how to spot my daughter by her clothes? Slender I saw her in white clothes, so I went up and shouted "", and she promised me "not necessarily", just like Ann and I made an appointment in advance; who knows that he is not Ann, but the son of the postmaster . Evans Jesus Christ!Master Slander, would you marry a boy when you could not see? Peggy, I'm very confused, what should I do? Madam Page, good lady, don't be offended, because I knew your plan, I made my daughter wear green clothes; to tell you the truth, she has now gone to the rector's house with Dr. Caius, where the wedding is held. . Enter Caius. Where's Miss Caius Page?Hmph, I've been fooled by others!I married a boy, a country boy, not Ann Page.I've been duped! What about Mrs. Page, didn't you see her in green? Caius Yes, but it's a boy; I'll have all Windsor to judge. (Down.) Ford is amazing.Who took the real Ann? Mrs. Page, I feel very uneasy.Master Fenton is here. Enter Fenton and Ann Page. Mrs Page, Mr Fenton! Well dad, forgive me!Good mother, forgive me! Miss Page, why don't you go with Master Slander? Miss Page, why don't you go with Dr. Caius? Fenton, don't make her flustered by asking her, let me tell you the real situation.You use shameful means to make her marry someone she doesn't love; but she and I have been in love for a long time, and now, I feel that nothing can separate us.The transgression she committed was holy, and though we deceived you, it could not be called an unjust trick, much less a disobedience, for it was the only way she could have avoided the countless days of misery which forced marriages had caused. Ford's wood is done, Mr. Paige, you don't have to be in a daze.In matters of love, everything is arranged by God himself; money can buy land, but getting a wife depends on luck. I am glad, Falstaff, that your arrows will miss you, though I be plotted against you. Forget it, Page, what can I do? -- Fenton, may God give you happiness!Things that can't be overcome have to be passed. The Falstaff Hound comes out at night, and no deer is spared. Hi Mrs. Page, I don't think this way or that way anymore.Lord Fenton, may God give you many happy days!Let us all go home, my lord, and laugh at the jokes of the day by the fire; Sir John and all. Ford was fine.Sir, you have not broken your promise to Barok, because he is really going to sleep with Mrs. Ford tonight. (same below.) Notes: "借光", the original "quarter", is a term in heraldry.European feudal nobles all had their own coats of arms representing their clans; they moved the graphics from the coats of arms of their wives' families into their own coats of arms, which was called "quarter". It means to get into the crowd of others to do pickpocketing. At that time, when doctors treated patients, they tested the patient's urination first, so the shopkeeper mocked Dr. Caius with "urine". Refers to the prince of Henry IV, later Henry V. That is, "minority" and "majority". The Reverend Hugh was a Welsh man with a heavily voiced voice, pronouncing the "c" as a "g". The Reverend Hugh was a Welsh man with a heavily voiced voice, pronouncing the "c" as a "g". "Hang hog" sounds like "hanging pork" in English, so Mrs. Gui guessed it was "ham". Latin demonstrative pronouns have five cases, but no "address case"; so Pastor Hugh reminded William in Latin: "say 'no'".The Latin word "no" (caret) is similar to the English word "carrot", which caused Mrs. Gui to interject.
