Chapter 28 third act

Scene 1 in front of the house of Antipholus Jr. Enter the younger Antipholus, the younger Dromio, Angelo, and Balthasar. Little Antipholus Good Mr. Angelo, please forgive us, my wife is very strong, she must be angry when she sees me late; She makes necklaces, so she didn't come back until now, and you said that the necklace would be finished and delivered tomorrow.But this fellow would spread rumors about me to my face, that he had met me in the market, that I had beaten him, that I had asked him for a thousand gold marks, that I had denied my wife, that I would not come home.You drunkard, what do you mean?

Little Dromio Tell me all you want, sir, but I know very well that you beat me in the marketplace, and I still bear the scars of your blows.If my skin is a piece of parchment, and your fist is ink, then the evidence you wrote in your own handwriting can explain everything. Little Antipholus I see you as a donkey. Little Dromio I am beaten and scolded like an ass.When someone kicks me, I should kick him back; if I really start to be a donkey, please watch my hooves, you will know that donkeys are not easy to mess with. You don't seem very pleased, Mr. Antipholus Balthasar Jr. I hope our food and drink can give you a little sincerity of welcome in my place.

I don't care about Balthazar's food and wine, your kindness is appreciated. Little Antipholus, Mr. Balthazar, the hospitality of a full table is not a fish for wine. Balthazar's big fish and meat are not surprising things that any gangster can afford. It was especially unsurprising that Antipholus the younger's gracious hospitality was nothing more than lip service. Even if Balthazar's wine and food are scarce, as long as the host is hospitable, he can still enjoy himself to his heart's content. Little Antipholus could have been satisfied only with a miserly host and more frugal guests than he.However, although my food and drink are meager, I hope you will not dislike it and drink to your heart's content; you can enjoy a more sumptuous banquet in other places, but you will not meet a more sincere host than me.wait!Why is my door closed?Go tell them to open the door.

Little Dromeo Amao, Sister Bai Li, Marlene, Shirley, Qilin, Aqin! Big Dromio (within) Fools, drunks, wretches, dead men, fools, wretched things!Get out of here!This isn't your place for women; there's one too many, what do you want with so many?go, get out! Little Dromio Who is this dazed man that guards our door?Hey, uncle is waiting on the street. The great Dromeo (within) told him not to wait, but to return to his old place, lest his honor be cold. Little Antipholus Who speaks in it?Hello!open the door! Grand Dromio (within) Well, tell me anything, and I'll open the door.

What is the matter, little Antipholus!Have a meal!I haven't eaten yet. Grand Dromio (within) This is not where you eat; come when you are invited. What are you, little Antipholus, to keep me from my own house? Grand Dromio (within) My name is Dromio, and now I have the right to fill the office of guard. Fuck little Dromio!You not only robbed my job, but also stole my name; my job has never done me any good, and my name has been scolded a lot.If you're impersonating me today, you'll have to change your face too, or just change your name to Donkey. Ruth (within) What's the matter, Dromio?Who are the people outside the door?

Little Dromio Rus, let the master come in. Ruth (within) No, he's too late, tell your uncle so. Little Dromio Good heavens!Really want to die of laughter!Let me tell you a common saying: it's best to be at home. Ruth (inside) to give you a common saying: please take it easy, wait and see. Great Dromio (within) If your name is Ruth--Ruth, you answer beautifully. Little Antipholus Do you hear, bitch?The door is not open yet? Ruth (within) I told you already. Grand Dromio (inside) Yes, you said: not to be parted. Come on little Dromio, hit hard and play well!Just like that, punch and punch.

Little Antipholus brat, let me in. Ruth (within) Why do you want to come in? Little Monsieur Dromio, knock harder at the door. Ruth (within) Let him knock, whose hand hurts? Little Antipholus If I knock on the door, I won't let you go, you trample! Ruth (inside) why bother?Those who disturb the law and order will inevitably parade in the streets. Adriana (inside) Who's making noise at the door? Great Dromio (within) You have too many rascals here. Little Antipholus My wife, are you in there?Why didn't you run out earlier? Adriana (inside) asshole!Who is your wife?Get out of here!

Monsieur Dromio, if there is something wrong with you, the "bastard" will be uncomfortable. Angelo has neither food nor wine, nor entertainers, if both are not possible, then as long as there is one, it will do. Balthazar We were just now debating which is more valuable, the rich food and the host's sincerity, but now we are going to go home hungry, and even the host's sincerity is not blessed. Little Dromio, there are two standing at the door, give them a treat. Little Antipholus and the others must have some tricks, so they didn't let us in. Little Dromio's cakes are hot inside, but you are drinking cold wind outside, a man is going crazy when he is insulted like this.

Little Antipholus go and get me something to let me open the door. Big Dromio (within) If you break anything, I'll smash your bastard's head. Young Dromio speaks fiercely, brother, but words are air.He can still pay you back and put a fart in your face. Grand Dromio (within) You seem to have an itchy bone.Get out of here, bastard! Little Dromio always tells me to go!Please call me in. Dromio the Great (within) I'll let you in when the birds have no feathers and the fish have no scales. Hi Antipholus, I'll call in.Borrow me a pickaxe. Little Dromio, the crane has no feathers, master, you have a good idea.No fish without scales was found, but a bird without feathers.If we smashed them in with a pickaxe, we would surely make them fly high in fright, like a yellow crane.

Go, little Antipholus, and fetch an iron pick. Balthazar, please calm down, don't be like this, it will not only hurt your reputation, but also make people suspect your wife's character.You have been together for many years, and you are very familiar with her wisdom and virtuousness; there must be another reason for today's situation, and she will explain the reason to you slowly.Listen to me, let's go to the Tiger Hotel for dinner on our own; if you go home alone at night, you can ask her carefully.There are a lot of people on the street now, if you barge in like this, it will inevitably cause gossip and insult your innocent reputation; perhaps it will become a lifelong stain on you, which will never be washed away until death, because the slander has reached a In the human body, it will remain forever.

Little Antipholus, you are right, so I will obey you and go away quietly.But although I was full of anger, I still wanted to find a place to relieve my boredom.I know a daughter who is very good-looking, exquisite and well-spoken, very coquettish and gentle, let's go to her for dinner.My wife often scolds me suspiciously because I sometimes walk around this daughter's house, so today we will go to her house. (to Angelo) Go back to your shop first, and get the necklace I told you to make, it should be done by now; you can take it to the Pubentine's, she Serving wine over there, I want to give this chain to her as revenge for my wife.please go ahead.Since my own family does not accept me, I will knock on the doors of other people's houses to see if they will treat me coldly. Hello Angelo, I will come to see you at the place you mentioned later. Little Antipholus All right.This joke will cost me some money. (Exit each.) The second game is the same as before Enter Luciana and Antipholus the Great. Luciana Antipholus, have you forgotten What is a man's duty to his wife? In the passionate youth, your love seedlings have withered? Has the palace of love collapsed without being built? If you marry my sister only for the sake of wealth, For the sake of wealth, you should also pay attention to her tenderness; Even if there is another new lover, I have no choice but to smuggle across the magpie bridge, Show some feigned courtesy to the person in front of you. Don't let her see your secrets in your eyes, Let not your lips proclaim your shame; You keep her in the dark with your sweet words, He is adulterous and evil in his heart, but on the surface he is a sage and gentleman. Why let her know you've changed your mind? What fool boasts of his own crimes? Don't leave a double wound on her soul, Since you are sorry for her, you shouldn't speak ill of her. Ah, poor woman!born weak and easily bullied, As long as you say you love us, we believe it; The body is taken by someone else, who gives us a coat, We will be satisfied and there will be no doubts. Brother-in-law, go in, comfort my sister, Advise her not to be sad, call her I love; Sweet words of consolation, if comforting, Why bother whether it is sincere or hypocritical. Great Antipholus, my dear girl, I do not know your name, I don't even know how my name and surname can be known by you; Your extraordinary demeanor, your celestial talent, It is simply a miracle on earth, incomparably wonderful. Good girl, please open my stupid mind, Guide me in the maze, clear the clouds in my chest, I'm an uninformed corporal, I can't understand your mysterious and miraculous subtle words. My heart that does not dare to deceive others can only be expressed by the sky, Why do you want me to fall into the fog? Are you a god, wanting to create me from scratch? Then I am willing to listen to the mercy and do as I am told. But I have not lost my nature, Where did this marriage start? I have never known her before, where does the responsibility come from? My love has already been firmly tied to you. Your graceful voiceless voice is like the fairy music of sharks, Don't let me drown in your sister's tears; I would like to listen to the wonderful song in your own heart, Drunk at rest in your golden hair, That brilliant silk is my eternal bed, Think of the gentle dead land as a happy paradise! Luciana, are you mad with such incoherent speech? Great Antipholus was not crazy, but he was a little comatose. Luciana, it's likely that you're looking at people and thinking wrong. Antipholus the Great It is thy dazzling sun that makes me dizzy. Luciana, as long as you do not see evil, you will be clear. Great Antipholus I don't see you like a night without stars. Luciana, if you want to make love, please go to my sister. Great Antipholus your sister's sister. Luciana my sister. Great Antipholus No, it is you. You are my pure and beautiful body, The pupil in the eye, the soul in the soul, You are the source of my happiness, the food of my hunger, You are my heaven on earth, Cihang ascended to heaven. Luciana, you should tell my sister what you said. Antipholus the Great Consider you your sister, for I speak of you.You don't have a husband yet, and I have never married a wife. I am willing to love you forever and live a common life with you.Promise me! Luciana, come on, don't be fooling around, I'll call my sister and see what she has to say. (Down.) Big Dromio enters in a panic. Great Antipholus, what now, Dromio!Where are you going in such a hurry? Grand Dromio Do you know me, my lord?Am I Dromio?Am I your servant?Am I myself? Antipholus the Great You are Dromio, you are my servant, you are yourself. Grand Dromeo I am an ass, I am a woman's man, I am not myself. Great Antipholus What woman's man?How do you say you are not yourself? Great Dromio Well, my lord, I've been owned by a woman; she's got me, she's haunting me, she won't let me go. Great Antipholus, why won't she let you go? Monsieur Dromio, by the right of her owner, as you do your horse.She wanted me to be like a beast; I don't mean I was like a beast, she wanted me; but she had such a perfect beast of a temper that she wouldn't let me go. Great Antipholus Who is she? Big Dromio's a sight to behold; yea, when one mentions such a man, one must add: "Look, look!" I myself don't think this marriage is good, but take the lady Said, it can get a little bit of oil and water. What do you mean by Antipholus the Great? Grand Dromio Well, sir, she's a kitchen girl, all greasy; I can't think of any use for her, except as a lamp to let me escape from her by her light.If the rags on her body and the fat all over her body were burned, it would be enough to burn a Polish winter; if she lived to the end of the world, she would have to burn a week after the whole world was burned. Antipholus the Great What is her color? Dromeo da Grande is as black as my shoes, but her face is not as clean as mine; and the sweat on her body would sink even a man's shoes. Great Antipholus, just wash with plenty of water. Great Dromeo No, her filth is in her skin, and the flood of Noah's day could not wash her away. Great Antipholus What's her name? Great Dromio "Eight," my lord; but eight plus eight can't measure her girth. Antipholus the Great says she's grown quite broad? Dromio the Great measured six or seven from side to side of her buttocks; her hips were as wide as the length of her whole body; Find out the countries of the world. Great Antipholus What part of her is Ireland? Big Dromeo Well, sir, on her ass, there's a big swamp over there. Where is Greater Antipholes Scotland? Dromio Grande had a barren land in her hands, probably Scotland. Where is Greater Antipholes France? The great Dromio was on her forehead, and from the shaggy hair I could see that it was a country of disorder. Where is Great Antipholus England? Dromeo Grande I'm looking for chalky walls, but she's not white anywhere; I guess it's on her chin, because it's across from France with a line of snot. Where is Greater Antipholes Spain? I didn't see the big Dromio, but the hot breath in her mouth must be there. What about Greater Antipholes America and the West Indies? Grand Dromio, sir!On her nose, there were so many scrofula on her nose that there were all kinds of emeralds and agates.As soon as the hot breath of Spain found these treasures, it sent a large fleet to her nose to load its goods. What about Greater Antipholes, Belgium and Holland? Grand Dromio, sir!That kind of place is too low, I can't look down.In short, this girl says I'm her husband; she's so predictable, calls me Dromio, and knows all my secrets: what mole I have on my shoulder, what mole on my neck, and what Said that I had a large tumor on my left arm, which surprised me; I thought she must be a monster, so I ran away.Fortunately, I believe in God and my heart is as hard as a stone, otherwise she would have turned me into a short-tailed donkey and told me to go and grind for her. Great Antipholus, come to me on the pier, and see, if the wind is fair, I can't stay here any longer to-night.When you see a ship leaving, come to the market and tell me, and I will wait for you there.If everyone knows us and we don't know anyone, pack up and go. Great Dromio, as one flees from a bear, My virtuous wife also scares me out of my wits. (Down.) Great Antipholus There are monsters and goblins here, it is better to leave quickly.That woman called my husband, I hate her from the bottom of my heart; but her sister is so beautiful and gentle, and her manners and conversation are so charming, that I can hardly help myself; for my own safety, I should plug my ears , not listening to her charming songs. Enter Angelo. Master Angelo Antipholus! Great Antipholus Well, that's my name. Angelo, shall I forget your name?Voila, the necklace is ready.I was going to hand it over to you at the Ppentine Hotel, but it was delayed a lot because it wasn't finished. Great Antipholus What do you want me to do with this chain? Angelo, that's all you need to do, I beat him up at your order. Great Antipholus at my command!I didn't tell you. Angelo, you have told me not once or twice, but twenty times.Take it in, and make your lady happy; I'll call again at supper, and I'll ask you to pay for the necklace. Great Antipholus Then please take the money now, and maybe you won't even see the necklace and the money later. Angelo, you are so good at telling jokes, goodbye. (Stay under the necklace.) Great Antipholus I don't know what it is.But if someone is willing to give you such a fine necklace for free, no one will refuse it.It is not a problem for a person to live here, because someone will give you gold and silver on the street.Now I will wait for Dromio in the market place, and if there is a boat, I will start at once. (Down.)
