暴风雨》The Tempest
《暴风雨》是莎士比亚最后一部完整杰作,表现了他晚期对人类未来的设想,因此被人称为“诗的遗嘱”。尽管这部作品具有乌托邦式的幻想,但对现实中存在的罪恶仍有所揭露,特别是对于统治集团内部尔虞我诈、互相倾轧的现象进行了一定的批判。莎士比亚在剧中肯定了淳朴的爱情,谴责了自私的阴谋,对于人类的未来、人类理性和智慧的力量给予了正面描写。
不要怕,这岛上充满了各种声音
不要怕,这岛上充满了各种声音,
使人听了愉快,不会伤害人,
有时成千的叮叮咚咚的乐器在我耳边鸣响,
有时在我酣睡醒来的时候,
听见了那种歌声,又使我沉沉睡去。
那时在梦中便好像云端里开了门,
无数珍宝要向我倾倒下来。
当我醒来之后,我简直哭了起来,
希望重新做一遍这样的梦。
Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises
Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked,
I cried to dream again.

最崇高的目标
有一类游戏是很吃力的,
但兴趣会使人忘记辛苦;
有一类卑微的工作是用坚苦卓绝的精神忍受着的,
最低陋的事情往往指向最崇高的目标。
the most lofty goals
A game is very tough.,
However, interest will make people forget the hard work;
A class of humble spirit to endure the arduous
The lowest ugly things that often point to the most lofty
goals.
注:整理摘自《暴风雨》第三幕第一场
《罗密欧与朱丽叶》
《罗密欧与朱丽叶》写于1594年,是反映人文主义者爱情、理想与封建压迫之间冲突的一出充满诗意的悲剧。中世纪是人类历史上最黑暗的年代,爱情犹如伊甸园里的禁果,是不允许青年人采撷的。罗密欧和朱丽叶这一对纯真的青年为了追求爱情自由,最终以死反抗阻碍他们结合的封建势力,虽是悲剧,却充满着喜剧作品中对生活的热爱、对幸福的向往和对未来的信心,全剧洋溢着积极向上的乐观主义气氛。
我在夜色中仰视你
我在这夜色之中仰视着你,
就像一个尘世的凡人,
张大了出神的眼睛,
瞻望着一个生着翅膀的天使,
驾着白云缓缓地驰过了天空一样。
As glorious to this night, being o''er my head
As glorious to this night, being o''er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.
爱情的错误
唉!这就是爱情的错误,
我自己已经有太多的忧愁重压在我的心头,
你对我表示的同情,徒然使我
在太多的忧愁之上再加上一重忧愁。
爱情是叹息吹起的一阵烟;
恋人的眼中有它净化了的火星;
恋人的眼泪是它激起的波涛。
它又是最智慧的疯狂,
哽喉的苦味,吃不到嘴的蜜糖。
love''s transgression.
Why, such is love''s transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers''eyes;
Being vex''d a sea nourish''d with lovers''tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
我的心只有一千次悲伤
晚上没有你的光,
我只有一千次的心伤!
恋爱的人去赴他情人的约会,
像一个放学归来的儿童;
可是当他和情人分别的时候,
却像上学一般满脸懊丧。
I only have a thousand time of hear broken
if there isn''t you light,
i only have a thousand time of hear broken!
the one i love is going a date that isn''t with me,
its like a child came back from school;
but when he and his lover are separate,
its like going to school with a lot of dejected.
