哈姆雷特—王子复仇记    Hamlet   (中英文对照)

[size=5][b]哈姆雷特-王子复仇记Hamlet[/b][/size]


[attachment=11778785][color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma]Hamlet is one of Shakespeare’s great tragedies and possibly the most mis-quoted. It deals with the psychological torment of a young Danish prince, Hamlet himself, who is racked with murderous intent. Hamlet’s Father, the King of Denmark, is dead and the King’s brother (Hamlet’s uncle), Claudius, has married the widowed Queen, Gertrude. Hamlet is disgusted and cannot bear that his mother has betrayed his father’s memory in what he considers to be an incestuous manner. When the ghost of the dead King appears to Hamlet and fills him with a powerful desire for revenge, Hamlet becomes more and more desperate to destroy Claudius and avenge his father’s memory. However, despite this desire to kill his stepfather, Hamlet struggles to achieve his purpose and a series of disastrous events ensue. He mistreats his Love, Ophelia, who is so distraught by the change in Hamlet’s manner towards her that she is driven to insanity, the beautiful yet tormented soliloquies engaged in by Hamlet become increasingly desperate as Hamlet’s rage and despair strengthen, and Gertrude’s belief that Hamlet is mad with grief is apparent when Gertrude and Hamlet Speak together in Act IV. Hamlet is Shakespeare’s greatest tragic hero and, while the end of the Play is inevitable, the unravelling of the story is a wonder. Each scene is rendered in words of poetic beauty that simultaneously delight and horrify. The play is still as relevant today as it was when it was first written and performed as society is still troubled with political intrigue and deception, the hunt for bloody revenge, the tortures of a doomed love, and the cruelty of bereavement and loss. It is because Shakespeare speaks for humanity as a whole that makes Hamlet, like so many of his plays, universal. Hamlet is not bound by its time but transcends this boundary to speak to people just as powerfully as it did four hundred years ago.[/font][/color]

[color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma]哈姆雷特王子是最近突然驾崩的丹麦王哈姆雷特与皇后葛楚德的儿子。葛楚德在丈夫死后不久就与小叔、继承王位的克洛帝阿斯结婚,而这对哈姆雷特来说比父亲去世更难以忍受。就在这 时,他的父亲的灵魂出现了,道出了克洛帝阿斯谋害了他的事,并命令他的儿子哈姆雷特向叔父报仇,对母亲的处置则交给天来惩罚。感性敏锐的哈姆雷特用他那强而聪慧的思考力揣测——这个奇遇可能是魔鬼意图蛊惑他,所以,一直犹豫不决到底是要报仇还是不要。他为了避免他的叔父对他的心思产生怀疑,开始装疯卖傻,连心爱的欧菲丽亚也不认识了,正好这时有一个剧团进城来表演,他便着手写了揭露他叔父罪状的剧本,让他们上演。当克洛帝阿斯看了这出戏后,脸色大变,从大厅跑了出去。这 时,哈姆雷特看到他心虚跪地祷告的叔父时,心中的疑惑一扫而空,确信了父亲的灵魂所言属实。后来,王后奉国王旨意叫他进宫,他很伤心地责备他的母亲,误杀了布帘后偷听的欧菲丽亚的父亲——勒罗地阿斯。克洛帝阿斯把哈姆雷特送到了英国,暗中拜托英皇杀了他。欧菲丽亚遭失恋之苦加上父亲无辜失去,终于精神崩溃,坠入湖中溺死了,而她的哥哥——雷阿地斯想为父报仇,从法国奔了回来,不料被克洛帝阿斯利用,与哈姆雷特誓不两立。而哈姆雷特并没有中计,从往英国的航行途中折回,回到丹麦正好遇见欧菲丽亚的葬礼,心中大感悲伤。这时,克洛帝阿斯抓住了这个千载难逢的机会,安排了一个剑术比赛。雷阿地斯用一把尖端没有皮套的毒剑伤了哈姆雷特;后者剑术超他一等,终于击败了他,在临死前,他道出了克洛帝阿斯的阴谋。事实揭穿后,皇后慌乱中饮鸩——克洛帝阿斯为哈姆雷特准备的毒酒——而亡。哈姆雷特杀了克洛帝阿斯,并要他喝下毒 酒,阻止了哈姆雷特的好友赫雷休手中正要仰头饮下的鸩毒,在这时,他却因中了雷阿地斯的剑毒,发作身死。[/font][/color]

Scene One
Elsinore. A platform before the castle

[FRANCISCO at his post.Enter to him BERNARDO]
BERNARDO
Who’s there?
FRANCISCO
Nay,answer me:stand, and unfoldyourself.
BERNARDO
Long live the king!
FRANCISCO
Bernardo?
BERNARDO
He.
FRANCISCO
You come most carefully upon your hour.
BERNARDO
>Tis now struck twelve;get thee to bed, Francisco.
FRANCISCO
For this relief much thanks:>tis bitter cold,
And I am sick at heart.
BERNARDO
Have you had quiet guard?
FRANCISCO
Not a mouse stirring.
BERNARDO
Well, good night.
If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,
The rivals of my watch,bid them make haste.
FRANCISCO
I think I hear them.Stand,ho!
Who’s there?
[Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS]
HORATIO
Friends to this ground.
MARCELLUS
And liegemen to the Dane.
FRANCISCO
Give you good night.
MARCELLUS
O,farewell, honest soldier:
Who hathrelievedyou?
FRANCISCO
Bernardo has my place.
Give you good night.
[Exit]
MARCELLUS
Holla!Bernardo!BERNARDO
Say, What,is Horatio there?
HORATIO
A piece of him.
BERNARDO
Welcome,Horatio:welcome,good Marcellus.
MARCELLUS
What,has this thing appear’d again to-night?
BERNARDO
I have seen nothing.
MARCELLUS
Horatio says>tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreadedsight,twice seen of us:
Therefore I have entreated him along
With us to watch the minutes of this night;
That if again this apparitioncome,
He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
HORATIO
Tush,tush,>twill not appear.
BERNARDO
Sit down awhile;
And let us once again assail your ears,
That are so fortified against our story
What we have two nights seen.
HORATIO
Well,sit we down,
And let us hear Bernardo speak of this.
BERNARDO
Last night of all,
When yond same star that's westward from the pole
Had made his course to illurne that part of heaven
Where now it burns,Marcellus and myself,
The bell then beating one,——
[Enter Ghost]
MARCELLUS
Peace, break thee off;look,where it comes again!
BERNARDO
In the same figure,like the king that's dead.
MARCELLUS
Thouarta scholar;speak to it,Horatio.
BERNARDO
Looks it not like the king? markit, Horatio.
HORATIO
Most like:it harrowsme with fear and wonder.
BERNARDO
It would be spoke to.
MARCELLUS
Question it,Horatio.
HORATIO
What art thou that usurp' st this time of night,
Together with that fair and warlike form
In which the majesty of buried Denmark
Did sometimes march? by heaven charge thee, speak!
MARCELLUS
It is offended.
BERNARDO
See,it stalk away!
HORATIO
Stay!speak,speak!I charge thee,speak!
[Exit Ghost]
MARCELLUS
>Tis gone,and will not answer.
BERNARDO
How now,Horatio! you tremble and look pale:
Is not this something more than fantasy?
What think you on>t?
HORATIO
Before my God,I might not this believe
Without the sensibleand true avouch
Of mine own eyes.
MARCELLUS
Is it not like the king?
HORATIO
As thouartto thyself:
Such was the very armour he had on
When he the ambitious Norway combated;
So frown'd he once,when,in an angry parle,
He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
>Tis strange.
MARCELLUS
Thus twice before,and jump at this dead hour,
With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch
HORATIO
In what particularthought to work I know not;
But in the gross and scope of my opinion,
This bodes some strange eruption to our state.
MARCELLUS
Good now, sit down, and tell me, he that knows,
Why this same strict and most observant watch
So nightlytoils the subject of the land,
And why such daily cast of brazen cannon,
And foreign mart for implementsof war;
Why such impressof shipwrights,whose sore task
Does not divide the Sunday from the week;
What might be toward,that this sweatyhaste
Doth make the night joint- labourer with the day:
Who is>t that can inform me?
HORATIO
That can I ;
At least, the whispergoes so.Our last king,
Whose image even but nowappear'd to us,
Was, as you know, by Fortinbras of Norway,
Thereto prick'd on by a most emulate pride,
Dared to the combat;in which our valiant Hamlet——
For so this side of our known world esteem'd him——
Did slay this Fortinbras;who by a seal'd compact,
Well ratified by law and heraldry,
Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands
Which he stood seized of,to the conqueror:
Against the which,a moiety competent
Was gagedby our king;which had return'd
To the inheritance of Fortinbras,
Had he been vanquisher;as,by the same covenant,
And carriage of the article design'd,
His fell to Hamlet.Now,sir, young Fortinbras,
Of unimproved mettlehot and full,
Hath in the skirtsof Norway here and there
Shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes,
For food and diet,to some enterprise
That hath a stomach in>t;which is no other——
As it doth well appear unto our state——
But to recover of us,by strong hand
And termscompulsatory, those foresaid lands
So by his father lost:and this,I take it,
Is the main motive of our preparations,
The source of this our watch and the chief head
Of this post-haste and romage in the land.
BERNARDO
I think it be no other but e>enso:
Well may it sortthat this portentousfigure
Comes armed through our watch;so like the king
That was and is the question of these wars.
HORATIO
A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye.
In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
A little erethe mightiestJulius fell,
The graves stood tenantlessand the sheeted dead
Did squeakand gibberin the Roman streets:
As stars with trains of fire and dews of blood,
Disasters in the sun;and the moiststar
Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands
Was sick almost to doomsdaywith eclipse:
And even the like precurseof fierce events,
As harbingers preceding still the fates
And prologueto the omencoming on,
Have heaven and earth together demonstrated
Untoour climatures and countrymen.——
But soft, behold! lo,where it comes again!
[Re-enter Ghost]
I>ll cross it,though it blast me.Stay,illusion!
If thouhastany sound,or use of voice,
Speak to me:
If there be any good thing to be done,
That may to thee do ease and grace to me,
Speak to me:
[Cock crows]
If thou art privy to thy country's fate,
Which,happily,foreknowingmay avoid,O,speak!
Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life
Extorted treasure in the womb of earth,
For which,they say,you spirits oft walk in death,
Speak of it:stay,and speak!Stop it,Marcellus.
MARCELLUS
Shall I strike at it with my partisan?HORATIO
Do,if it will not stand.
BERNARDO
>Tis here!
HORATIO
>Tis here!
MARCELLUS
>Tis gone!
[ Exit Ghost]
We do it wrong,being so majestical,
To offer it the show of violence;
For it is,as the air,invulnerable,
And our vain blows malicious mockery.
BERNARDO
It was about to speak,when the cock crew.
HORATIO
And then it started like a guiltything
Upon a fearful summons.I have heard,
The cock,that is the trumpet to the morn,
Dothwith his loftyand shrill-sounding throat
Awake the god of day;and,at his warning,
Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
The extravgantand erringspirit hies
To his confine:and of the truth herein
This present object made probation.
MARCELLUS
It faded on the crowing of the cock.
Some say that ever>gainstthat season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then,they say,no spirit dares sti abroad;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
No fairy takes,nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'dand so graciousis the time.
HORATIO
So have I heard and do in part believe it.
But,look,the morn,in russet mantleclad,
Walks o>erthe dew of yon high eastward hill:
Break we our watch up;and by my advice,
Let us impartwhat we have seen to-night
Unto young Hamlet;for,upon my life,
This spirit,dumb to us,will speak to him.
Do you consentwe shall acquainthim with it,
As needful in our loves,fitting our duty?
MARCELLUS
Let's do>t,I pray; and I this morning know
Where we shall find him most conveniently.

第一场 艾尔西诺。城堡前的露台
弗兰西斯科立台上守望。勃那多自对面上。
勃那多 那边是谁?
弗兰西斯科 不,你先回答我;站住,告诉我你是什么人。
勃那多 国王万岁!
弗兰西斯科 勃那多吗?
勃那多 正是。
弗兰西斯科 你来得很准时。
勃那多 现在已经打过十二点钟;你去睡吧,弗兰西斯科。
弗兰西斯科 谢谢你来替我;天冷得厉害,我心里也老大不舒服。
勃那多 你守在这儿,一切都很安静吗?
弗兰西斯科 一只小老鼠也不见走动。
勃那多 好,晚安!要是你碰见霍拉旭和马西勒斯,我的守夜的伙伴们,就叫他们赶紧来。
弗兰西斯科 我想我听见了他们的声音。喂,站住!你是谁?
霍拉旭及马西勒斯上。
霍拉旭 都是自己人。
马西勒斯 丹麦王的臣民。
弗兰西斯科 祝你们晚安!

马西勒斯 啊!再会,正直的军人!谁替了你?
弗兰西斯科 勃那多接我的班。祝你们晚安!(下。)
马西勒斯 喂!勃那多!
勃那多 喂,——啊!霍拉旭也来了吗?
霍拉旭 有这么一个他。
勃那多 欢迎,霍拉旭!欢迎,好马西勒斯!
马西勒斯 什么!这东西今晚又出现过了吗?
勃那多 我还没有瞧见什么。
马西勒斯 霍拉旭说那不过是我们的幻想。我告诉他我们已经两次看见过这一个可怕的怪象,他总是不肯相信;所以我请他今晚也来陪我们守一夜,要是这鬼魂再出来,就可以证明我们并没有看错,还可以叫他和它说几句话。
霍拉旭 嘿,嘿,它不会出现的。
勃那多 先请坐下;虽然你一定不肯相信我们的故事,我们还是要把我们这两夜来所看见的情形再向你絮叨一遍。
霍拉旭 好,我们坐下来,听听勃那多怎么说。
勃那多 昨天晚上,北极星西面的那颗星已经移到了它现在吐射光辉的地方,时钟刚敲了一点,马西勒斯跟我两个人——
马西勒斯 住声!不要说下去;瞧,它又来了!
鬼魂上。
勃那多 正像已故的国王的模样。
马西勒斯 你是有学问的人,去和它说话,霍拉旭。
勃那多 它的样子不像已故的国王吗?看,霍拉旭。
霍拉旭 像得很;它使我心里充满了恐怖和惊奇。
勃那多 它希望我们对它说话。
马西勒斯 你去问它,霍拉旭。
霍拉旭 你是什么鬼怪,胆敢僭窃丹麦先王出征时的神武的雄姿,在这样深夜的时分出现?凭着上天的名义.我命令你说话!
马西勒斯 它生气了。
勃那多 瞧,它昂然不顾地走开了!
霍拉旭 不要走!说呀,说呀!我命令你,快说!(鬼魂下。)
马西勒斯 它走了,不愿回答我们。
勃那多 怎么,霍拉旭!你在发抖,你的脸色这样惨白。这不是幻想吧?你有什么高见?
霍拉旭 凭上帝起誓,倘不是我自己的眼睛向我证明,我再也不会相信这样的怪事。
马西勒斯 它不像我们的国王吗?
霍拉旭 正和你像你自己一样。它身上的那副战铠,就是它讨伐野心的挪威王的时候所穿的;它脸上的那副怒容,活像它有一次在谈判决裂以后把那些乘雪车的波兰人击溃在冰上的时候的神气。怪事怪事!
马西勒斯 前两次它也是这样不先不后地在这个静寂的时辰,用军人的步态走过我们的眼前。
霍拉旭 我不知道究竟应该怎样想法;可是大概推测起来,这恐怕预兆着我们国内将要有一番非常的变故。
马西勒斯 好吧,坐下来。谁要是知道的,请告诉我,为什么我们要有这样森严的戒备,使全国的军民每夜不得安息;为什么每天都在制造铜炮,还要向国外购买战具;为什么征集大批造船匠,连星期日也不停止工作;这样夜以继日地辛苦忙碌,究竟为了什么?谁能告诉我?
霍拉旭 我可以告诉你;至少一般人都是这样传说。刚才它的形象还向我们出现的那位已故的王上,你们知道,曾经接受骄矜好胜的挪威的福丁布拉斯的挑战;在那一次决斗中间,我们的勇武的哈姆莱特,——他的英名是举世称颂的——把福丁布拉斯杀死了;按照双方根据法律和骑士精神所订立的协定,福丁布拉斯要是战败了,除了他自己的生命以外,必须把他所有的一切土地拨归胜利的一方;同时我们的王上也提出相当的土地作为赌注,要是福丁布拉斯得胜了,那土地也就归他所有,正像在同一协定上所规定的,他失败了,哈姆莱特可以把他的土地没收一样。现在要说起那位福丁布拉斯的儿子,他生得一副未经锻炼的烈火也似的性格,在挪威四境召集了一群无赖之徒,供给他们衣食,驱策他们去干冒险的勾当,好叫他们显一显身手。他的唯一的目的,我们的当局看得很清楚,无非是要用武力和强迫性的条件,夺回他父亲所丧失的土地。照我所知道的,这就是我们种种准备的主要动机,我们这样戒备的唯一原因,也是全国所以这样慌忙骚乱的缘故。
勃那多 我想正是为了这个缘故。我们那位王上在过去和目前的战乱中间,都是一个主要的角色,所以无怪他的武装的形象要向我们出现示警了。
霍拉旭 那是扰乱我们心灵之眼的一点微尘。从前在富强繁盛的罗马,在那雄才大略的裘力斯·凯撒遇害以前不久,披着殓衾的死人都从坟墓里出来,在街道上瞅瞅鬼语,星辰拖着火尾,露水带血,太阳变色,支配潮汐的月亮被吞蚀得像一个没有起色的病人;这一类预报重大变故的朕兆,在我们国内的天上地下也已经屡次出现了。可是不要响!瞧!瞧!它又来了!
鬼魂重上。
霍拉旭 我要挡住它的去路,即使它会害我。不要走,鬼魂!要是你能出声,会开口,对我说话吧;要是我有可以为你效劳之处,使你的灵魂得到安息,那么对我说话吧;要是你预知祖国的命运,靠着你的指示,也许可以及时避免未来的灾祸,那么对我说话吧;或者你在生前曾经把你搜刮得来的财宝埋藏在地下,我听见人家说,鬼魂往往在他们藏金的地方徘徊不散,(鸡啼)要是有这样的事,你也对我说吧;不要走,说呀!拦住它,马西勒斯。
马西勒斯 要不要我用我的戟刺它?
霍拉旭 好的,要是它不肯站定。
勃那多 它在这儿!
霍拉旭 它在这儿!(鬼魂下。)
马西勒斯 它走了!我们不该用暴力对待这样一个尊严的亡魂;因为它是像空气一样不可侵害的,我们无益的打击不过是恶意的徒劳。
勃那多 它正要说话的时候,鸡就啼了。
霍拉旭 于是它就像一个罪犯听到了可怕的召唤似的惊跳起来。我听人家说,报晓的雄鸡用它高锐的啼声,唤醒了白昼之神,一听到它的警告,那些在海里、火里、地下、空中到处浪游的有罪的灵魂,就一个个钻回自己的巢穴里去;这句话现在已经证实了。
马西勒斯 那鬼魂正是在鸡鸣的时候隐去的。有人说,在我们每次欢庆圣诞之前不久,这报晓的鸟儿总会彻夜长鸣;那时候,他们说,没有一个鬼魂可以出外行走,夜间的空气非常清净,没有一颗星用毒光射人,没有一个神仙用法术迷人,妖巫的符咒也失去了力量,一切都是圣洁而美好的。
霍拉旭 我也听人家这样说过,倒有几分相信。可是瞧,清晨披着赤褐色的外衣,已经踏着那边东方高山上的露水走过来了。我们也可以下班了。照我的意思,我们应该把我们今夜看见的事情告诉年轻的哈姆莱特;因为凭着我的生命起誓,这一个鬼魂虽然对我们不发一言,见了他一定有话要说。我们以为按着我们的交情和责任说起来,是不是应当让他知道这件事情?
马西勒斯 很好,我们决定去告诉他吧;我知道今天早上在什么地方最容易找到他。

Scene Two
A room of state in the castle.


[Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,HAMLET,
POLONIUS,LAERTES,VOLTIMAND,CORNELIUS,
Lords,and Attendants]
KING CLAUDIUS
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death
The memory be green,and that it us befitted
To bear our hearts in griefand our whole kingdom
To be contractedin one browof woe,
Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
That we with wisest sorrow think on him,
Together with remembrance of ourselves.
Therefore our sometime sister,now our queen,
The imperial jointress to this warlike state,
Have we,as>twerewith a defeated joy,——
With an auspiciousand a dropping eye,
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
In equal scale weighing delight and dole,——
Taken to wife:nor have we hereinbarr'd
Your better wisdoms,which have freely gone
With this affair along.For all,our thanks.
Now follows,that you know,young Fortinbras,
Holding a weak supposal of our worth,
Or thinking by our late dear brother's death
Our state to be disjoint and out of frame,
Colleagued with the dream of his advantage,
He hath not fail'd to pester us with message,
Importing the surrender of those lands
Lost by his father,with all bonds of law,
To our most valiant brother.So much for him.
Now for ourself and for this time of meeting:
Thus much the business is:we have here writ
To Norway,uncle of young Fortinbras,——
who,impotent and bed-rid scarcly hears
Of this his nephew's purpose,——to suppress
His further gait herein;in that the levies,
The lists and full proportions,are all made
Out of his subject:and we here dispstch
You,good Cornelius,and you,Voltimand,
For bearers of this greeting to old Norway;
Giving to you no further personal power
To business with the king,more than the scope
Of these delated articles allow.
Farewell,and let your haste commend your duty.

KING CLAUDIUS
We doubt it nothing:heartily farewell.
[Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS]
And now,Laertes,what's the news with you?
You told us of some suit;what is>t,Laertes?
You cannot speak of reason to the Dane,
And loose your voice:what wouldstthou beg,Laertes,
That shall not be my offer,not thy asking?
The head is not more native to the heart,
The hand more instrumental to the mouth,
Than is the throne of Denmark to thy father
What wouldst thou have,Laertes?
LAERTES
My dread lord
Your leave and favour to return to France;
From whence though willingly I came to Denmark,
To show my duty in your coronation,
Yet now,I must confess,that duty done,
My thoughts and wishes bend again toward France
And bowthem to your gracious leave and pardon.
KING CLAUDIUS
Have you your father's leave?What says Polonius?
LORD POLONIUS
He hath,my lord,wrung from me my slow leave
By laboursomepetition,and at last
Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent:
I do beseech you,give him leave to go.
KING CLAUDIUS
Take thy fair hour,Laertes;time be thine,
And thy best graces spend it at thy will!
But now, my cousin Hamlet,and my son,——
HAMLET
[Aside] A little more than kin,and less than kind.
KING CLAUDIUS
How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
HAMLET
Not so,my lord;I am too much i>the sun.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Good Hamlet,cast thy nighted colouroff,
And let thineeye look like a friend on Denmark.
Do not for ever with thy vailedlids
Seek for thy noble father in the dust:
Thou know'st >tis common;all that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity.
HAMLET
Ay,madam,it is common.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
If it be,
Why seems it so particular with thee?
HAMLET
Seems,madam!nay it is;I know not 'seems.>
>Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
Nor customary suits of solemn black,
Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
No,nor the fruitful river in the eye,
Nor the dejected>havior of the visage,
Together with all forms,moods,shapes of grief,
That can denote me truly: these indeed seem,
For they are actions that a man might play:
But I have that within which passeth show;
These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
KING CLAUDIUS
>Tis sweet and commendable in your nature,Hamlet,
To give these mourning duties to your father:
But,you must know,your father lost a father;
That father lost,lost his,and the survivor bound
In filialobligation for some term
To do obsequious sorrow:but to persever
In obstinate condolement is a course
Of impious stubbornness;>tis unmanly grief;
It shows a will most incorrect to heaven,
A heart unfortified,a mind impatient,
An understanding simple and unschool'd:
For what we know must be and is as common
As any the most vulgar thing to sense,
Why should we in our peevish opposition
Take it to heart? Fie!>tis a fault to heaven,
A fault against the dead,a fault to nature,
To reason most absurd:whose common theme
Is death of fathers,and who still hath cried,
From the first corse till he that died to-day,
This must be so.>We pray you,throw to earth
This unprevailing woe,and think of us
As of a father:for let the world take note,
You are the most immediate to our throne;
And with no less nobility of love
Than that which dearest father bears his son,
Do I impart toward you.For your intent
In going back to school in Wittenberg,
It is most retrograde to our desire:
And we beseech you,bend you to remain
Here,in the cheer and comfort of our eye,
Our chiefest courtier,cousin,and our son.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Let not thy mother lose her prayers,Hamlet:
I pray thee,stay with us;go not to Wittenberg.
HAMLET
I shall in all my best obey you,madam.
KING CLAUDIUS
Why,>tis a loving and a fair reply:
Be as ourself in Denmark.Madam,come;
This gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet
Sits smiling to my heart:in grace whereof,
No jocund health that Denmark drinks to-day,
But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell,
And the king's rouse the heavens all bruitagain,
Re-speaking earthly thunder.Come away.
[Exeunt all but HAMLET]
HAMLET
O,that this too too solid flesh would melt
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon>gainstself-slaughter!O God!God!
How weary,stale,flatand unprofitable,
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on>t!ah fie!>tis an unweededgarden,
That grows to seed;things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely.That it should come to this!
But two months dead:nay,not so much,not two:
So excellent a king;that was,to this,
Hyperion to a satyr;so loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly.Heaven and earth!
Must I remember? why,she would hang on him,
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on:and yet,within a month——
Let me not think on>t ——Frailty,thy name is woman!——
A little month,or ere thoes shoes were old
With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
Like Niobe,all tears:——why she, even she——
O,God!a beast,that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourn'd longer——married with my uncle,
My father's brother,but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules:within a month:
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteoustears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
She married.O,most wicked speed,to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not nor it cannot come to good:
But break,my heart;for I must hold my tongue.
[Enter HORATIO,MARCELLUS,and BERNARDO]
HORATIO
Hail to your lordship!
HAMLET
I am glad to see you well:
Horatio,—— or I do forget myself.
HORATIO
The same,my lord,and your poor servant ever.
HAMLET
Sir,my good friend;I>ll change that name with you:
And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio? Marcellus?
MARCELLUS
My good lord——
HAMLET
I am very glad to see you.Good even, sir.
But what,in faith, make you from Wittenberg?
HORATIO
A truantdisposition,good my lord.
HAMLET
I would not hear your enemy say so,
Nor shall you do mine ear that violence,
To make it truster of your own report
Against yourself:I know you are no truant.
But what is your affair in Elsinore?
We>ll teach you to drink deep ere you depart.
HORATIO
My lord,I came to see your father's funeral.
HAMLET
I pray thee,do not mockme,fellow-student;
I think it was to see my mother's wedding.
HORATIO
Indeed,my lord,it follow'd hard upou.
HAMLET
Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats
Did coldly furnishforth the marriage tables.
Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven
Or ever I had seen that day,Horatio!
My father!——methinks I see my father.
HORATIO
Where, my lord?
HAMLET
In my mind's eye, Horatio.
HORATIO
I saw him once; he was a goodly king.
HAMLET
He was a man,take him for all in all,
I shall not look upon his like again.
HORATIO
My lord,I think I saw him yesternight.
HAMLET
Saw?who?
HORATIO
My lord,the king your father.
HAMLET
The king my father!
HORATIO
Season your admiration for awhile
With an attentear, till I may deliver,
Upon the witness of these gentlemen,
This marvel to you.
HAMLET
For God's love,let me hear.
HORATIO
Two nights together had these gentlemen,
Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch,
In the dead vast and middle of the night,
Been thus encounter'd.A figure like your father,
Armed at point exactly,cap-a-pe,
Appears before them,and with solemn march
Goes slow and stately by them:thrice he walk'd
By their oppress'dand fear-surprised eyes,
Within his truncheon'slength;whilstthey,distilled
Almost to jelly with the act of fear,
Stand dumband speak not to him.This to me
In dreadful secrecyimpartthey did;
And I with them the third night kept the watch;
Where,as they had deliver'd,both in time,
Form of the thing,each word made true and good,
The apparitioncomes:I knew your father;
These hands are not more like.
HAMLET
But where was this?
MARCELLUS
My lord,upon the platform where we watch'd.
HAMLET
Did you not speak to it?
HORATIO
My lord,I did;
But answer made it none: yet once methought
It lifted up its head and did address
Itself to motion,like as it would speak;
But even then the morning cock crew loud,
And at the sound it shrunk in haste away,
And vanish'd from our sight.
HAMLET
>Tis very strange.
HORATIO
As I do live,my honour'd lord, >tis true;
And we did think it writ down in our duty
To let you know of it.
HAMLET
Indeed,indeed, sirs, but this troubles me.
Hold you the watch tonight?

Arm'd,say you?

HAMLET
From top to toe?
MARCELLUS BERNARDO
My lord,from head to foot.
HAMLET
Then saw you not his face?
HORATIO
O,yes,my lord;he wore his beaverup.
HAMLET
What,look'd he frowningly?
HORATIO
A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
HAMLET
Pale or red?
HORATIO
nay, very pale.
HAMLET
And fix'd his eyes upon you?
HORATIO
Most constantly.
HAMLET
I would I had been there.
HORATIO
It would have much amazed you.
Very like, very like. Stay'd it long?
HORATIO
While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred.
MARCELLUS
Longer,longer.
BERNARDO HORATIO
Not when I saw>t.
HAMLET
His beard was grizzled——no?
HORATIO
It was,as I have seen it in his life,
A sable silver'd.
HAMLET
I will watch to-night;
Perchance>twill walk again.
HORATIO
I warrant it will.
HAMLET
If it assume my noble father's person,
I>ll speak to it, though hell itself should gape
And bidme hold my peace.l pray you all,
If you have hitherto conceal'd this sight,
Let it be tenable in your silence still;
And whatsoever else shall hap to-night,
Give it an understanding,but no tongue:
I will requite your loves.So,fare you well:
Upon the platform,>twixteleven and twelve,
I>ll visit you.
All
Our duty to your honour.
HAMLET
Your loves,as mine to you:farewell.
[Exeunt all but HAMLET]
My father's spirit in arms!all is not well;
I doubt some foulplay:would the night were come!
Till then sit still, my soul: foul deeds will rise,
Though all the earth o>erwhelm them,to men's eyes.


第二场 城堡中的大厅


国王、王后、哈姆莱特、波洛涅斯、雷欧提斯、伏提曼德、考尼律斯、群臣、侍从等上。
国王 虽然我们亲爱的王兄哈姆莱特新丧未久,我们的心里应当充满了悲痛,我们全国都应当表示一致的哀悼,可是我们凛于后死者责任的重大,不能不违情逆性,一方面固然要用适度的悲哀纪念他,一方面也要为自身的利害着想;所以,在一种悲喜交集的情绪之下,让幸福和忧郁分据了我的两眼,殡葬的挽歌和结婚的笙乐同时井奏,用盛大的喜乐抵消沉重的不幸,我已经和我旧日的长嫂,当今的王后,这一个多事之国的共同的统治者,结为夫妇;这一次婚姻事先曾经征求各位的意见,多承你们诚意的赞助,这是我必须向大家致谢的。现在我要告诉你们知道,年轻的福丁布拉斯看轻了我们的实力,也许他以为自从我们亲爱的王兄驾崩以后,我们的国家已经瓦解,所以挟着他的从中取利的梦想,不断向我们书面要求把他的父亲依法割让给我们英勇的王兄的土地归还。这是他一方面的话。现在要讲到我们的态度和今天召集各位来此的目的。我们的对策是这样的:我这儿已经写好了一封信给挪威国王,年轻的福丁布拉斯的叔父——他因为卧病在床,不曾与闻他侄子的企图——在信里我请他注意他的侄子擅自在国内征募壮丁,训练士卒,积极进行各种准备的事实,要求他从速制止他的进一步的行动;现在我就派遣你,考尼律斯,还有你,伏提曼德,替我把这封信送给挪威老王,除了训令上所规定的条件以外,你们不得僭用你们的权力,和挪威成立逾越范围的妥协。你们赶紧去吧,再会!
伏提曼德、考尼律斯 我们不敢不尽力执行陛下的旨意。
国王 我相信你们的忠心;再会!(伏提曼德、考尼律斯同下)—现在,雷欧提斯,你有什么话说?你对我说你有一个请求;是什么请求,雷欧提斯?只要是合理的事情,你向丹麦王说了,他总不会不答应你。你有什么要求,雷欧提斯,不是你未开口我就自动许给了你?丹麦王室和你父亲的关系,正像头脑之于心灵一样密切;丹麦国王乐意为你父亲效劳,正像双手乐于为嘴服役一样。你要些什么,雷欧提斯?
雷欧提斯 陛下,我要请求您允许我回到法国去。这一次我回国参加陛下加冕的盛典,略尽臣子的微忱,实在是莫大的荣幸;可是现在我的任务已尽,我的心愿又向法国飞驰,但求陛下开恩允准。
国王 你父亲已经答应你了吗?波洛涅斯怎么说?
波洛涅斯 陛下,我却不过他几次三番的恳求,已经勉强答应他了;请陛下放他去吧。
国王 好好利用你的时间,雷欧提斯,尽情发挥你的才能吧!可是来,我的侄儿哈姆莱特,我的孩子——
哈姆莱特 (旁白)超乎寻常的亲族,漠不相干的路人。
国王 为什么愁云依旧笼罩在你的身上?
哈姆莱特 不,陛下;我已经在太阳里晒得太久了。
王后 好哈姆莱特,抛开你阴郁的神气吧,对丹麦王应该和颜悦色一点;不要老是垂下了眼皮,在泥土之中找寻你的高贵的父亲。你知道这是一件很普通的事情,活着的人谁都要死去,从生活踏进永久的宁静。
哈姆莱特 嗯,母亲,这是一件很普通的事情。
王后 既然是很普通的,那么你为什么瞧上去好像老是这样郁郁于心呢?
哈姆莱特 好像,母亲!不,是这样就是这样,我不知道什么“好像”不“好像”。好妈妈,我的墨黑的外套、礼俗上规定的丧服、难以吐出来的叹气、像滚滚江流一样的眼泪、悲苦沮丧的脸色,以及一切仪式、外表和忧伤的流露,都不能表示出我的真实的情绪。这些才真是给人瞧的,因为谁也可以做作成这种样子。它们不过是悲哀的装饰和衣服;可是我的郁结的心事却是无法表现出来的。
国王 哈姆莱特,你这样孝思不匮,原是你天性中纯笃过人之处;可是你要知道,你的父亲也曾失去过一个父亲,那失去的父亲自己也失去过父亲;那后死的儿子为了尽他的孝道,必须有一个时期服丧守制,然而固执不变的哀伤,却是一种逆天勃理的愚行,不是堂堂男子所应有的举动,它表现出一个不肯安于天命的意志,一个经不起艰难痛苦的心,一个缺少忍耐的头脑和一个简单愚昧的理性。既然我们知道那是无可避免的事,无论谁都要遭遇到同样的经验,那么我们为什么要这样固执地把它介介于怀呢?嘿!那是对上天的罪戾,对死者的罪戾,也是违反人情的罪戾;在理智上它是完全荒谬的,因为从第一个死了的父亲起,直到今天死去的最后一个父亲为止;理智永远在呼喊,“这是无可避免的”。我请你抛弃了这种无益的悲伤,把我当作你的父亲;因为我要让全世界知道,你是王位的直接继承者,我要给你的尊荣和恩宠,不亚于一个最慈爱的父亲之于他的儿子。至于你要回到威登堡去继续求学的意思,那是完全违反我们的愿望的;请你听从我的劝告,不要离开这里,在朝廷上领袖群臣,做我们最亲近的国亲和王子,使我们因为每天能看见你而感到欢欣。
王后 不要让你母亲的祈求全归无用,哈姆莱特;请你不要离开我们,不要到威登堡去。
哈姆莱特 我将要勉力服从您的意志,母亲。
国王 啊,那才是一句有孝心的答复;你将在丹麦享有和我同等的尊荣。御妻,来。哈姆莱特这一种自动的顺从使我非常高兴;为了表示庆祝,今天丹麦王每一次举杯祝饮的时候,都要放一响高入云霄的祝炮,让上天应和着地上的雷鸣,发出欢乐的回声。来。(除哈姆莱特外均下。)
哈姆莱特 啊,但愿这一个太坚实的肉体会融解、消散,化成一堆露水!或者那永生的真神未曾制定禁止自杀的律法!上帝啊!上帝啊!人世间的一切在我看来是多么可厌、陈腐、乏味而无聊!哼!哼!那是一个荒芜不治的花园,长满了恶毒的莠草。想不到居然会有这种事情!刚死了两个月!不,两个月还不满!这样好的一个国王,比起当前这个来,简直是天神和丑怪;这样爱我的母亲,甚至于不愿让天风吹痛了她的脸。天地呀!我必须记着吗?嘿,她会偎倚在他的身旁,好像吃了美味的食物,格外促进了食欲一般;可是,只有一个月的时间,我不能再想下去了!脆弱啊,你的名字就是女人!短短的一个月以前,她哭得像个泪人儿似的,送我可怜的父亲下葬;她在送葬的时候所穿的那双鞋子还没有破旧,她就,她就——上帝啊!一头没有理性的畜生也要悲伤得长久一些——她就嫁给我的叔父,我的父亲的弟弟,可是他一点不像我的父亲,正像我一点不像赫刺克勒斯一样。只有一个月的时间,她那流着虚伪之泪的眼睛还没有消去红肿,她就嫁了人了。啊,罪恶的匆促,这样迫不及待地钻进了乱伦的衾被!那不是好事,也不会有好结果;可是碎了吧,我的心,因为我必须噤住我的嘴!
霍拉旭、马西勒斯、勃那多同上。

霍拉旭 祝福,殿下!
哈姆莱特 我很高兴看见你身体健康。你不是霍拉旭吗?绝对没有错。
霍拉旭 正是,殿下;我永远是您的卑微的仆人。
哈姆莱特 不,你是我的好朋友;我愿意和你朋友相称。你怎么不在威登堡,霍拉旭?马西勒斯?
马西勒斯 殿下——
哈姆莱特 我很高兴看见你。(向勃那多)你好,朋友。——可是你究竟为什么离开威登堡?
霍拉旭 无非是偷闲躲懒罢了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 我不愿听见你的仇敌说这样的话,你也不能用这样的话刺痛我的耳朵,使它相信你对你自己所作的诽谤;我知道你不是一个偷闲躲懒的人。可是你到艾尔西诺来有什么事?趁你未去之前,我们要陪你痛饮几杯哩。
霍拉旭 殿下,我是来参加您的父王的葬礼的。
哈姆莱特 请你不要取笑,我的同学;我想你是来参加我的母后的婚礼的。
勃那多 真的,殿下,这两件事情相去得太近了。
哈姆莱特 这是一举两便的办法,霍拉旭!葬礼中剩下来的残羹冷炙,正好宴请婚筵上的宾客。霍拉旭,我宁愿在天上遇见我的最痛恨的仇人,也不愿看到那样的一天!我的父亲,我仿佛看见我的父亲。
霍拉旭 啊,在什么地方,殿下?
哈姆莱特 在我的心灵的眼睛里,霍拉旭。
霍拉旭 我曾经见过他一次;他是一位很好的君主。
哈姆莱特 他是一个堂堂男子;整个说起来,我再也见不到像他那样的人了。
霍拉旭 殿下,我想我昨天晚上看见他。
哈姆莱特 看见谁?

霍拉旭 殿下,我看见您的父王。
哈姆莱特 我的父王。
霍拉旭 不要吃惊,请您静静地听我把这件奇事告诉您,这两位可以替我作见证。
哈姆莱特 看在上帝的份上,讲给我听。
霍拉旭 这两位朋友,马西勒斯和勃那多,在万籁俱寂的午夜守望的时候,曾经连续两夜看见一个自顶至踵全身甲胄、像您父亲一样的人形,在他们的面前出现,用庄严而缓慢的步伐走过他们的身边。在他们惊奇骇愕的眼前,它三次走过去,它手里所握的鞭杖可以碰到他们的身上;他们吓得几乎浑身都瘫痪了,只是呆立着不动,一句话也没有对它说。怀着惴惧的心情,他们把这件事悄悄地告诉了我,我就在第三夜陪着他们一起守望;正像他们所说的一样,那鬼魂又出现了。出现的是时间和它的形状,证实了他们的每一个字都是正确的。我认识您的父亲;那鬼魂是那样酷肖它的生前,我这两手也不及他们彼此的相似。
哈姆莱特 可是这是在什么地方?
马西勒斯 殿下,就在我们守望的露台上。
哈姆莱特 你们有没有和它说话?
霍拉旭 殿下,我说了,可是它没有回答我;不过有一次我觉得它好像抬起头来,像要开口说话似的,可是就在那时候,晨鸡高声啼了起来,它一听见鸡声,就很快地隐去不见了。
哈姆莱特 这很奇怪。
霍拉旭 凭着我的生命起誓,殿下,这是真的;我们认为按着我们的责任,应该让您知道这件事。
哈姆莱特 不错,不错,朋友们;可是这件事情很使我迷惑。你们今晚仍旧要去守望吗?马西勒特、勃那多 是,殿下。
哈姆莱特 你们说它穿着甲胄吧?
马西勒特、勃那多 是,殿下。
哈姆莱特 从头到脚?
马西勒特、勃那多 从头到脚,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么你们没有看见它的脸吗?
霍拉旭 啊,看见的,殿下;它的脸甲是掀起的。哈姆莱特 怎么,它瞧上去像在发怒吗?
霍拉旭 它的脸上悲哀多于愤怒。
哈姆莱特 它的脸色是惨白的还是红红的?
霍拉旭 非常惨白。
哈姆莱特 它把眼睛注视着你吗?
霍拉旭 它直盯着我瞧。
哈姆莱特 我真希望当时我也在场。
霍拉旭 那一定会使您吃惊万分。
哈姆莱特 多半会的,多半会的。它停留得长久吗?霍拉旭 大概有一个人用不快不慢的速度从一数到一百的那段时间。
马西勒特、勃那多 还要长久一些,还要长久一些。
霍拉旭 我看见它的时候,不过这么久。
哈姆莱特 它的胡须是斑白的吗?
霍拉旭 是的,正像我在它生前看见的那样,乌黑的胡须里略有几根变成白色。
哈姆莱特 我今晚也要守夜去;也许它还会出来。霍拉旭 我可以担保它一定会出来。
哈姆莱特 要是它借着我的父王的形貌出现,即使地狱张开嘴来,叫我不要作声,我也一定要对它说话。要是你们到现在还没有把你们所看见的告诉别人,那么我要请求你们大家继续保持沉默;无论今夜发生什么事情,都请放在心里,不要在口舌之间泄漏出去。我一定会报答你们的忠诚。好,再会;今晚十一点钟到十二点钟之间,我要到露台上来看你们。
众人 我们愿意为殿下尽忠。
哈姆莱特 让我们彼此保持着不渝的交情;再会!(霍拉旭、马西勒斯、勃那多同下)我父亲的灵魂披着甲胄!事情有些不妙;我想这里面一定有奸人的恶计。但愿黑夜早点到来!静静地等着吧,我的灵魂;罪恶的行为总有一天会发现.虽然地上所有的泥土把它们遮掩。



沐觅谨。

Scene Three
A room in Polonius>house.


[ Enter LAERTES and OPHELIA]
LAERTES
My necessaries are embark'd:farewell:
And, sister,as the winds give benefit
And convoy is assistant,do not sleep,
But let me hear from you.
OPHELIA
Do you doubt that?
LAERTES
For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour,
Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,
A violet in the youth of primy nature,
Forward,not permanent,sweet,not lasting,
The perfume and suppliance of a minute;No more.
OPHELIA
No more but so?
LAERTES
Think it no more;
For nature,crescent and bulk,but,as this templewaxes,
The inward service of the mind and soul
Grows wide withal.Perhaps he loves you now,
And now no soilnor cauteldothbesmirch
The virtue of his will:but you must fear,
His greatness weigh'd,his will is not his own;
For he himself is subject to his birth:
He may not,as unvalued persons do,
Carve for himself;for on his choice depends
The safety and health of this whole state;
And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
Unto the voice and yielding of that body
Whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you,
It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
As he in his particular act and place
May give his saying deed;which is no further
Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain,
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart,or your chaste treasure open
To his unmaster'dimportunity.
Fear it,Ophelia,fear it,my dear sister,
And keep you in the rear of your affection,
Out of the shot and danger of desire.
The chariestmaid is prodigal enough,
If she unmask her beauty to the moon:
Virtue itself'scapes not calumnious strokes:
The canker galls the infants of the spring,
Too oft before their buttons be disclosed,
And in the morn and liquid dew of gouth
Contagious blastmentsare most imminent.
Be wary then; best safety lies in fear:
Youth to itself rebels,though none else near.
OPHELIA
I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
Do not,as some ungraciouspastorsdo,
Show me the steep and thornyway to heaven;
Whiles,like a puff'd and recklesslibertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.
LAERTES
O, fear me not.
I stay too long:but here my father comes.
[Enter POLONIUS]
A double blessing is a double grace,
Occasion smiles upon a second leave.
LORD POLONIUS
Yet here,Laertes!aboard,aboard,for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for.There;my blessing with thee!
And these few preceptsin thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palmwith entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledgedcomrade.Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear>tthat the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure,but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy pursecan buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oftproclaimsthe man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loanoft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all:to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow,as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
LAERTES
Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
The time invites you;go; your servants tend.
LAERTES
Farewell, Ophelia; and remember well
What I have said to you.
OPHELIA
>Tis in my memory lock'd,
And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
LAERTES
Farewell.
[Exit]
LORD POLONIUS
What is>t,Ophelia,be hath said to you?
OPHELIA
So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.
LORD POLONIUS
Marry,well bethought:>Tis told me, he hath very oft of late
Given private time to you;and you yourself
Have of your audience been most free and bounteous:If it be so, as so>tis put on me,And that in way of caution,I must tell you,You do not understand yourself so clearly
As it behoves my daughter and your honour.What is between you? give me up the truth.
OPHELIA
He hath,my lord,of late made many tendersOf his affection to me.
LORD POLONIUS
Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl,
Unsifted in such perilous circumstance.
Do you believe his tenders,as you call them?
OPHELIA
I do not know,my lord, what I should think.
LORD POLONIUS
Marry,I>ll teach you:think yourself a baby;
That you have ta>en these tenders for true pay,
Which are not sterling.Tenderyourself more dearly;
Or——not to crack the wind of the poor phrase,
Running it thus——you>ll tender me a fool.
OPHELIA
My lord,he hath importuned me witn love
In honourable fashion.
LORD POLONIUS
Ay,fashion you may call it;go to,go to.
OPHELIA
And hath given countenanceto his speech,my lord,
With almost all the holy vowsof heaven.
LORD POLONIUS
Ay,springes to catch woodcocks.I do know,
When the blood burns,how prodigal the soul
Lends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter,
Giving more light than heat,extinctin both,
Even in their promise, as it is a-making,
You must not take for fire.From this time
Be somewhat scanterof your maidenpresence;
Set your entreatmentsat a higher rate
Than a command to parley.For Lord Hamlet,
Believe so much in him,that he is young
And with a larger tethermay he walk
Than may be given you:in few,Ophelia,
Do not believe his vows;for they are brokers,
Not of that dye which their investments show,
But mere imploratorsof unholysuits,
Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds,
The better to beguile.This is for all:
I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth,
Have you so slanderany moment leisure,
As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet.
Look to>t,I charge you:come your ways.
OPHELIA
I shall obey,my lord.


第三场 波洛涅斯家中一室


雷欧提斯及奥菲利娅上。
雷欧提斯 我需要的物件已经装在船上,再会了;妹妹,在好风给人方便、船只来往无阻的时候,不要贪睡,让我听见你的消息。
奥菲利娅 你还不相信我吗?
雷欧提斯 对于哈姆莱特和他的调情献媚,你必须把它认作年轻人一时的感情冲动,一朵初春的紫罗兰早熟而易雕,馥郁而不能持久,一分钟的芬芳的喜悦,如此而已。
奥菲利娅 不过如此吗?
雷欧提斯 不过如此;因为一个人成长的过程,不仅是肌肉和体格增强,而且随着身体的发展,精神和心灵也同时扩大。也许他现在爱你,他的真诚的意志是纯洁而不带欺诈的;可是你必须留心,他有这样高的地位,他的意志并不属于他自己,因为他自己也要被他的血统所支配;他不能像一般庶民一样为自己选择,因为他的决定足以影响到整个国本的安危,他是全身的首脑,他的选择必须得到各部分肢体的同意;所以要是他说,他爱你,你不可贸然相信,应该明白:照他的身分地位说来,他要想把自己的话付诸实现,决不能越出丹麦国内普遍舆论所同意的范围。你再想一想,要是你用过于轻信的耳朵倾听他的歌曲,让他攫走了你的心,在狂妄的渎求之下,打开了你的宝贵的童贞,那时候你的名誉将要蒙受多大的损失。留心,奥菲利娅,留心,我的亲爱的妹妹,不要放纵你的爱情,不要让欲望的利箭把你射中。一个自爱的女郎,若是向月亮显露她的美貌就算是极端放荡了;圣贤也不能逃避谗口的中伤;春天的草木往往还没有吐放它们的蓓蕾,就被蛀虫蠹蚀;朝露一样晶莹的青春,常常会受到罡风的吹打。所以留心吧,戒惧是最安全的方策;即使没有旁人的诱惑,少年的血气也要向他自己叛变。
奥菲利娅 我将要记住你这个很好的教训,让它看守着我的心。可是,我的好哥哥,你不要像有些坏牧师一样,指点我上天去的险峻的刑棘之途,自己却在花街柳巷流连忘返,忘记了自己的箴言。
雷欧提斯 啊!不要为我担心。我耽搁得太久了;可是父亲来了。
彼洛涅斯上。
雷欧提斯 两度的祝福是双倍的福分;第二次的告别是格外可喜的。
波洛涅斯 还在这儿,雷欧提斯!上船去,上船去,真好意思!风息在帆顶上,人家都在等着你哩。好,我为你祝福!还有几句教训,希望你铭刻在记忆之中:不要想到什么就说什么,凡事必须三思而行。对人要和气,可是不要过分狎呢。相知有素的朋友,应该用钢圈箍在你的灵魂上,可是不要对每一个泛泛的新知滥施你的交情。留心避免和人家争吵;可是万一争端已起,就应该让对方知道你不是可以轻侮的。倾听每一个人的意见,可是只对极少数人发表你的意见;接受每一个人的批评,可是保留你自己的判断。尽你的财力购制贵重的衣服,可是不要炫新立异,必须富丽而不浮艳,因为服装往往可以表现人格;法国的名流要人,就是在这点上显得最高尚,与众不同。不要向人告贷,也不要借钱给人;因为债款放了出去,往往不但丢了本钱,而且还失去了朋友;向人告贷的结果,容易养成因循懒惰的习惯。尤其要紧的,你必须对你自己忠实;正像有了白昼才有黑夜一样,对自己忠实,才不会对别人欺诈。再会;愿我的祝福使这一番话在你的行事中奏效!
雷欧提斯 父亲,我告别了。
波洛涅斯 时候不早了;去吧,你的仆人都在等着。
雷欧提斯 再会,奥菲利娅,记住我对你说的话。
奥菲利娅 你的话已经锁在我的记忆里,那钥匙你替我保管着吧。
雷欧提斯 再会!(下。)
波洛涅斯 奥菲利娅,他对你说些什么话?
奥菲利娅 回父亲的话,我们刚才谈起哈姆莱特殿下的事情。
波洛涅斯 嗯,这是应该考虑一下的。听说他近来常常跟你在一起,你也从来不拒绝他的求见;要是果然有这种事——人家这样告诉我,也无非是叫我注意的意思——那么我必须对你说,你还没有懂得你做了我的女儿,按照你的身分,应该怎样留心你自己的行动。究竟在你们两人之间有些什么关系?老实告诉我。

奥菲利娅 父亲,他最近曾经屡次向我表示他的爱情。
波洛涅斯 爱情!呸!你讲的话完全像是一个不曾经历过这种危险的不懂事的女孩子。你相信你所说的他的那种表示吗?
奥菲利娅 父亲,我不知道我应该怎样想才好。
波洛涅斯 好,让我来教你;你应该这样想,你是一个毛孩子,竟然把这些假意的表示当作了真心的奉献。你应该“表示”出一番更大的架子,要不然——就此打住吧,这个可怜的字眼被我唤得都快断气了——你就“表示”你是个十足的傻瓜。
奥菲利娅 父亲,他向我求爱的态度是很光明正大的。
波洛涅斯 不错,那只是态度;算了,算了。
奥菲利娅 而且,父亲,他差不多用尽一切指天誓日的神圣的盟约,证实他的言语。
波洛涅斯 嗯,这些都是捕捉愚蠢的山鹬的圈套。我知道在热情燃烧的时候,一个人无论什么盟誓都会说出口来;这些火焰,女儿,是光多于热的,刚刚说出口就会光消焰灭,你不能把它们当作真火看待。从现在起,你还是少露一些你的女儿家的脸;你应该抬高身价,不要让人家以为你是可以随意呼召的。对于哈姆莱特殿下,你应该这样想,他是个年轻的王子,他比你在行动上有更大的自由。总而言之,奥菲利娅,不要相信他的盟誓,它们不过是淫媒,内心的颜色和服装完全不一样,只晓得诱人于一些龌龊的勾当,正像道貌岸然大放厥辞的鸨母,只求达到骗人的目的。我的言尽于此,简单一句话,从现在起,我不许你一有空闲就跟哈姆莱特殿下聊天。你留点儿神吧;进去。
奥菲利娅 我一定听从您的话,父亲。

Scene Four
The platform.

[Enter HAMLET, HORATIO, and MARCELLUS]
HAMLET
The air bites shrewdly;it is very cold.
HORATIO
It is a nippingand an eagerair.
HAMLET
What hour now?
HORATIO
I think it lacks of twelve.
HAMLET
No,it is struck.
HORATIO
Indeed? I heard it not:then it draws nearthe season
Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk.
A flourishof trumpets, and ordnanceshot off, within
What doeS this mean, my lord?
HAMLET
The king doth wake to-night and takes his rouse,
Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-springreels;
And, as he drains his draughtsof Rhenishdown,
The kettle-drum-drum and trumpet thus bray out
The triumph of his pledge.
HORATIO
Is it a custom?
HAMLET
Ay,marry,is>t:
But to my mind,though I am native here
And to the manner born,it is a custom
More honour'd in the breachthan the observance.
This heavy- headed revel east and west
Makes us traducedand tax'dof other nations:
They clepe us drunkards,and with swinish phrase
Soilour addition; and indeed it takes
From our achievements, though perform'd at height,
The pith and marrowof our attribute.
So, oft it chancesin particular men,
That for some viciousmoleof nature in them,
As,in their birth——wherein they are not guilty,
Since nature cannot choose his origin——
By the o>ergrowthof some complexion,
Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
Or by some habit that too much o>er- leavens
The form of plausivemanners, that these men,
Carrying,I say,the stamp of one defect,
Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,——
Their virtues else——be they as pure as grace,
As infinite as man may undergo——
Shall in the general censure take corruption
From that particular fault:the dram of eale
Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
To his own scandal.
HORATIO
Look, my lord, it comes!
[Enter Ghost]
HAMLET
Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd,
Bring with thee airs from heaven or blastsfrom hell,
Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
Thou comest in such a questionable shape
That I will speak to thee: I>ll call thee Hamlet,
King,father,royal Dane:O,answer me!
Let me not burst in ignorance; but tell
Why thy canonizedbones, hearsed in death,
Have burst their cerements;why the sepulchre,
Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd,
Hath oped his ponderousand marblejaws,
To cast thee up again.What may this mean,
That thou,dead corse, again in complete steel
Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon,
Making night hideous;and we fools of nature
So horridly to shake our disposition
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
Say,why is this? wherefore? what should we do?
[Ghost beckonsHAMLET]
HORATIO
It beckons you to go away with it,
As if it some impartment did desire
To you alone.
MARCELLUS
Look,with what courteous action
It waves you to a more removed ground:
But do not go with it.
HORATIO
No, by no means.
HAMLET
It will not speak; then I will follow it.
HORATIO
Do not,my lord.
HAMLET
Why, what should be the fear?
I do not set my life in a pin's fee;
And for my soul,what can it do to that,
Being a thing immortalas itself?
It waves me forth again:I>ll follow it.
HORATIO
What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summitof the cliff
That beetleso>erhis base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form,
Which might deprive your sovereigntyof reason
And draw you into madness? think of it:
The very place puts toys of desperation,
Without more motive, into every brain
That looks so many fathoms to the sea
And hears it roar beneath.
HAMLET
It waves me still.
Go on;I>ll follow thee.
MARCELLUS
You shall not go,my lord.
HAMLET
Hold off your hands.
HORATIO
Be ruled; you shall not go.
HAMLET
My fate cries out,
And makes each petty artery in this body
As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve.
Still am I call'd.Unhand me, gentlemen.
By heaven,I>ll make a ghost of him that lets me!
I say,away! Go on;I>ll follow thee.
[Exeunt Ghost and HAMLET]
HORATIO
He waxesdesperatewith imagination.
MARCELLUS
Let's follow; >tis not fit thus to obey him.
HORATIO
Have after.To what issue will this come?
MARCELLUS
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
HORATIO
Heaven will direct it.
MARCELLUS
Nay,let's follow him.


第四场 露  台


哈姆莱特、霍拉旭及马西勒斯上。
哈姆莱特 风吹得人怪痛的,这天气真冷。
霍拉旭 是很凛冽的寒风。
哈姆莱特 现在什么时候了?
霍拉旭 我想还不到十二点。
马西勒斯 不,已经打过了。
霍拉旭 真的?我没有听见;那么鬼魂出现的时候快要到了。(内喇叭奏花腔及鸣炮声)这是什么意思,殿下?
哈姆莱特 王上今晚大宴群臣,作通宵的醉舞;每次他喝下了一杯葡萄美酒,铜鼓和喇叭便吹打起来,欢祝万寿。
霍拉旭 这是向来的风俗吗?
哈姆莱特 嗯,是的。可是我虽然从小就熟习这种风俗,我却以为把它破坏了倒比遵守它还体面些。这一种酗酒纵乐的风俗,使我们在东西各国受到许多非议;他们称我们为酒徒醉汉,将下流的污名加在我们头上,使我们各项伟大的成就都因此而大为减色。在个人方面也常常是这样,由于品性上有某些丑恶的瘢痣;或者是天生的——这就不能怪本人,因为天性不能由自己选择;或者是某种脾气发展到反常地步,冲破了理智的约束和防卫;或者是某种习惯玷污了原来令人喜爱的举止;这些人只要带着上述一种缺点的烙印——天生的标记或者偶然的机缘——不管在其余方面他们是如何圣洁,如何具备一个人所能有的无限美德,由于那点特殊的毛病,在世人的非议中也会感染溃烂;少量的邪恶足以勾销全部高贵的品质,害得人声名狼藉。
鬼魂上。
霍拉旭 瞧,殿下,它来了!
哈姆莱特 天使保佑我们!不管你是一个善良的灵魂或是万恶的妖魔,不管你带来了天上的和风或是地狱中的罡风,不管你的来意好坏,因为你的形状是这样引起我的怀疑,我要对你说话;我要叫你哈姆莱特,君王,父亲!尊严的丹麦先王,啊,回答我!不要让我在无知的蒙昧里抱恨终天;告诉我为什么你的长眠的骸骨不安窀穸,为什么安葬着你的遗体的坟墓张开它的沉重的大理石的两颚,把你重新吐放出来。你这已死的尸体这样全身甲胄,出现在日光之下,使黑夜变得这样阴森,使我们这些为造化所玩弄的愚人由于不可思议的恐怖而心惊胆颤,究竟是什么意思呢?说,这是为了什么?你要我们怎样?(鬼魂向哈姆莱特招手。)
霍拉旭 它招手叫您跟着它去,好像它有什么话要对您一个人说似的。
马西勒斯 瞧,它用很有礼貌的举动,招呼您到一个僻远的所在去;可是别跟它去。
霍拉旭 千万不要跟它去。
哈姆莱特 它不肯说话;我还是跟它去。
霍拉旭 不要去,殿下。
哈姆莱特 嗨,怕什么呢?我把我的生命看得不值一枚针;至于我的灵魂,那是跟它自己同样永生不灭的,它能够加害它吗?它又在招手叫我前去了;我要跟它去。
霍拉旭 殿下,要是它把您诱到潮水里去,或者把您领到下临大海的峻峭的悬崖之巅,在那边它现出了狰狞的面貌,吓得您丧失理智,变成疯狂,那可怎么好呢?您想,无论什么人一到了那样的地方,望着下面千仞的峭壁,听见海水奔腾的怒吼,即使没有别的原因,也会起穷凶极恶的怪念的。
哈姆莱特 它还在向我招手。去吧,我跟着你。
马西勒斯 您不能去,殿下。
哈姆莱特 放开你们的手!
霍拉旭 听我们的劝告,不要去。
哈姆莱特 我的运命在高声呼喊,使我全身每一根微细的血管都变得像怒狮的筋骨一样坚硬。(鬼魂招手)它仍旧在招我去。放开我,朋友们;(挣脱二人之手)凭着上天起誓,谁要是拉住我,我要叫他变成一个鬼!走开!去吧,我跟着你。(鬼魂及哈姆莱特同下。)
霍拉旭 幻想占据了他的头脑,使他不顾一切。
马西勒斯 让我们跟上去;我们不应该服从他的话。
霍拉旭 那么跟上去吧。这种事情会引出些什么结果来呢?
马西勒斯 丹麦国里恐怕有些不可告人的坏事。
霍拉旭 上帝的旨意支配一切。
马西勒斯 得了,我们还是跟上去吧。

Scene Five
Another part of the platform.

[Enter GHOST and HAMLET]
HAMLET
Where wilt thou lead me? speak;I>ll go no further.Ghost
Mark me.
HAMLET
I will.
Ghost
My hour is almost come,
When I to sulphurousand tormenting flames
Must render up myself.
HAMLET
Alas,poor ghost!
Ghost
Pity me not,but lend thy serious hearing
To what I shall unfold.
HAMLET
Speak;I am bound to hear.
Ghost
So artathou to revenge,when thou shalt hear.
HAMLET
What?
Ghost
I am thy father's spirit,
Doom'dfor a certain term to walk the night,
And for the day confined to fastin fires,
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purgedaway.But that I am forbid
To tell the secrets of my prison—house,
I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul,freeze thy young blood,
Make thy two eyes,like stars,start from their spheres,
Thy knottedand combined locksto part
And each particular hair to stand on end,
Like quillsupon the fretfulporpentine:
But this eternalblazon must not be
To ears o flesh and blood.List,list,O,list!
If thou didst ever thy dear father love——
HAMLET
O God!
Ghost
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
HAMLET
Murder!
Ghost
Murder most foul, as in the best it is;
But this most foul,strange and unnatural.
HAMLET
Haste me to know>t, that I,with wings as swift
As meditation or the thoughts of love,
May sweep to my revenge.
Ghost
I find thee apt;
And duller shouldstthou be than the fat weed
That roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,
Wouldst thou not stirin this.Now,Hamlet, hear:
>Tis given out that,sleeping in my orchard,
A serpentstung me;so the whole ear of Denmark
Is by a forged process of my death
Rankly abused:but know,thou noble youth,
The serpent that did sting thy father's life
Now wears his crown.
HAMLET
O my propheticsoul! My uncle!
Ghost
Ay,that incestuous,that adulterate beast,
With witchcraftof his wit,with traitorousgifts,——
O wickedwit and gifts, that have the power
So to seduce!——won to his shameful lust
The will of my most seeming—virtuousqueen:
O Hamlet,what a falling-off was there!
From me,whose love was of that dignity
That it went hand in hand even with the vow
I made to her in marriage,and to decline
Upon a wretchwhose natural gifts were poor
To those of mine!
But virtue, as it never will be moved,
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust,though to a radiantangel link'd,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed,
And prey on garbage.
But,soft!methinks I scentthe morning air;
Brief let me be.Sleeping within my orchard,
My custom always of the afternoon,
Upou my secure hour thy uncle stole,
With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial,
And in the porches of my ears did pour
The leperousdistilment;whose effect
Holds such an enmitywith blood of man
That swiftas quicksilverit coursesthrough
The natural gates and alleysof the body,
And with a sudden vigour doth posset
And curd,like eager droppings into milk,
The thin and wholesome blood:so did it mine;
And a most instant tetter bark'd about,
Most lazar—like,with vileand loathsomecrust,
All my smooth body.
Thus was I,sleeping, by a brother's hand
Of life,of crown,of queen,at once dispatch'd:
Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,
Unhousel'd,disappointed,unanel'd,
No reckoningmade,but sent to my account
With all my imperfections on my head:
O,horrible!O,horrible!most horrible!
If thou hast nature in thee,bear it not;
Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
A couch for luxury and damned incest.
But,howsoever thou pursuestthis act,
Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive
Against thy mother aught: leave her to heaven
And to those thorns that in her bosomlodge,
To prickand stingher.Fare thee well at once!
The glow—wormshows the matinto be near,
And>gins to pale his uneffectual fire:
Adieu,adieu!Hamlet,remember me.
[Exit]
HAMLET
O all you hostof heaven!O earth! what else?
And shall I couple hell?O,fie! Hold,hold,my heart;
And you,my sinews, grow not instant old,
But bear me stiffly up.Remember thee!
Ay,thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe.Remember thee!
Yea,from the table of my memory
I>ll wipe away all trivial fondrecords,
All sawsof books,all forms, all pressures past,
That youth and observation copied there;
And thy commandmentall alone shall live
Within the book and volumeof my brain,
Unmix'd with baser matter:yes,by heaven!
O most perniciouswoman!
O villain,villain,smiling,damned villain!
My tables,——meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
At least I>m sure it may be so in Denmark:
[Writing]
So,uncle, there you are.Now to my word;
It is>Adieu,adieu!remember me.>
I have sworn>t.
MARCELLUS HORATIO
[Within] My lord. my lord.——
HORATIO MARCELLUS
[Within]
Lord Hamlet,——
HORATIO[Within]
Heaven securehim!
HAMLET
So be it!
HORATIO
[Within] Hillo,ho,ho,my lord!
HAMLET
Hillo, ho, ho,boy!come,bird,come.
[Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS]
MARCELLUS
How is>t, my noble lord?
HORATIO
What news,my lord?
HAMLET
O,wonderful!
HORATIO
Good my lord, tell it.
HAMLET
No;you>ll reveal it.
HORATIO
Not I,my lord,by heaven.
MARCELLUS
Nor I,my lord.
HAMLET
How say you,then;would heart of man once think it?
But you>ll be secret?
HORATIO MARCELLUS
Ay,by heaven,my lord.
HAMLET
There's ne>era villaindwelling in all Denmark
But he's an arrant knave.
HORATIO
There needs no ghost,my lord,come from the grave
To tell us this.
HAMLET
Why,right;you are i>theright;
And so,without more circumstance at all,
I hold it fit that we shake hands and part:
You,as your business and desire shall point you;
For every man has business and desire,
Such as it is;and for mine own poor part,
Look you,I>ll go pray.
HORATIO
These are but wild and whirlingwords,my lord.
HAMLET
I>m sorry they offend you,heartily;
Yes,>faith heartily.
HORATIO
There's no offence,my lord.
HAMLET
Yes, by Saint Patrick,but there is, Horatio,
And much offence too.Touching this visionhere,
It is an honest ghost,that let me tell you:
For your desire to know what is between us,
O>ermaster>tas you may.And now, good friends,
As you are friends, scholars and soldiers,
Give me one poor request.
HORATIO
What is>t,my lord? we will.
HAMLET
Never make known what you have seen to—night.
HORATIO MARCELLUS
My lord,we will not.
HAMLET
Nay,but swear>t.
HORATIO
In faith,
My lord, not I.
MARCELLUS
Nor I,my lord,in faith.
HAMLET
Upon my sword.
MARCELLUS
We have sworn,my lord,already.
HAMLET
Indeed, Upon my sword,indeed.Ghost
[Beneath] Swear.
HAMLET
Ah,ha,boy!say'stthou so?artthou there,
truepenny?
Come on——you hear this fellow in the cellarage——
Consentto swear.
HORATIO
Propose the oath,my lord.
HAMLET
Never to speak of this that you have seen,
Swear by my sword.
Ghost
[Beneatn] Swear.
HAMLET
Hic et ubique?then we>ll shift our ground.
Come hither, gentlemen,
And lay your hands again upon my sword:
Never to speak of this that you have heard,
Swear by my sword.
Ghost
[Beneath] Swear.
HAMLET
Well said,old mole!canst work i>the earth so fast?
A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.
HORATIO
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
HAMLET
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamtof in your philosophy.But come;
Here,as before,never,so help you mercy,
How strange or oddsoe>erI bear myself,
As I perchance hereaftershall think meet
To put an anticdispositionon,
That you,at such times seeing me, never shall,
With arms encumber'dthus,or this headshake,
Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
As >Well,well,we know,>or>We could,anif we would,>
Or>If we listto speak,>or>There be,anif they might,>
Or such ambiguous giving out,to note
That you know aughtof me:this not to do,
So grace and mercy at your most need help you,Swear.
Ghost
[Beneath] Swear.
HAMLET
Rest,rest, perturbedspirit!
[They swear]
So,gentlemen,
With all my love I do commend me to you:
And what so poor a man as Hamlet is
May do,to express his love and friending to you,
God willing,shall not lack.Let us go in together;
And still your fingers on your lips,I pray.
The time is out of joint:O cursed spite,
That ever I was born to set it right!
Nay, come,let's go together.


第五场 露台的另一部分


鬼魂及哈姆莱特上。
哈姆莱特 你要领我到什么地方去?说;我不愿再前进了。
鬼魂 听我说。
哈姆莱特 我在听着。
鬼魂 我的时间快到了,我必须再回到硫黄的烈火里去受煎熬的痛苦。
哈姆莱特 唉,可怜的亡魂!
鬼魂 不要可怜我,你只要留心听着我要告诉你的话。
哈姆莱特 说吧;我自然要听。
鬼魂 你听了以后,也自然要替我报仇。
哈姆莱特 什么?
鬼魂 我是你父亲的灵魂,因为生前孽障未尽,被判在晚间游行地上,白昼忍受火焰的烧灼,必须经过相当的时期,等生前的过失被火焰净化以后,方才可以脱罪。若不是因为我不能违犯禁令,泄漏我的狱中的秘密,我可以告诉你一桩事,最轻微的几句话,都可以使你魂飞魄散,使你年轻的血液凝冻成冰,使你的双眼像脱了轨道的星球一样向前突出,使你的纠结的鬈发根根分开,像愤怒的豪猪身上的刺毛一样森然耸立;可是这一种永恒的神秘,是不能向血肉的凡耳宣示的。听着,听着,啊,听着!要是你曾经爱过你的亲爱的父亲——
哈姆莱特 上帝啊!
鬼魂 你必须替他报复那逆伦惨恶的杀身的仇恨。
哈姆莱特 杀身的仇恨!
鬼魂 杀人是重大的罪恶;可是这一件谋杀的惨案,更是骇人听闻而逆天害理的罪行。
哈姆莱特 赶快告诉我,让我驾着像思想和爱情一样迅速的翅膀,飞去把仇人杀死。
鬼魂 我的话果然激动了你;要是你听见了这种事情而漠然无动于衷,那你除非比舒散在忘河之滨的蔓草还要冥顽不灵。现在,哈姆莱特,听我说;一般人都以为我在花园里睡觉的时候,一条蛇来把我螯死,这一个虚构的死状,把丹麦全国的人都骗过了;可是你要知道,好孩子,那毒害你父亲的蛇,头上戴着王冠呢。
哈姆莱特 啊,我的预感果然是真的!我的叔父!
鬼魂 嗯,那个乱伦的、奸淫的畜生,他有的是过人的诡诈,天赋的奸恶,凭着他的阴险的手段,诱惑了我的外表上似乎非常贞淑的王后,满足他的无耻的兽欲。啊,哈姆莱特,那是一个多么卑鄙无耻的背叛!我的爱情是那样纯洁真诚,始终信守着我在结婚的时候对她所作的盟誓;她却会对一个天赋的才德远不如我的恶人降心相从!可是正像一个贞洁的女子,虽然淫欲罩上神圣的外表,也不能把她煽动一样,一个淫妇虽然和光明的天使为偶,也会有一天厌倦于天上的唱随之乐,而宁愿搂抱人间的朽骨。可是且慢!我仿佛嗅到了清晨的空气;让我把话说得简短一些。当我按照每天午后的惯例,在花园里睡觉的时候,你的叔父乘我不备,悄悄溜了进来,拿着一个盛着毒草汁的小瓶,把一种使人麻痹的药水注人我的耳腔之内,那药性发作起来,会像水银一样很快地流过全身的大小血管,像酸液滴进牛乳一般把淡薄而健全的血液凝结起来;它一进人我的身体,我全身光滑的皮肤上便立刻发生无数疱疹,像害着癞病似的满布着可憎的鳞片。这样,我在睡梦之中,被一个兄弟同时夺去了我的生命、我的王冠和我的王后;甚至于不给我一个忏罪的机会,使我在没有领到圣餐也没有受过临终涂膏礼以前,就一无准备地负着我的全部罪恶去对簿阴曹。可怕啊,可怕!要是你有天性之情,不要默尔而息,不要让丹麦的御寝变成了藏奸养逆的卧榻;可是无论你怎样进行复仇,不要胡乱猜疑,更不可对你的母亲有什么不利的图谋,她自会受到上天的裁判,和她自己内心中的荆棘的刺戳。现在我必须去了!萤火的微光已经开始暗淡下去,清晨快要到来了;再会,再会!哈姆莱特,记着我。(下。)
哈姆莱特 天上的神明啊!地啊!再有什么呢?我还要向地狱呼喊吗?啊,呸!忍着吧,忍着吧,我的心!我的全身的筋骨,不要一下子就变成衰老,支持着我的身体呀!记着你!是的,我可怜的亡魂。当记忆不曾从我这混乱的头脑里消失的时候,我会记着你的。记着你!是的,我要从我的记忆的碑版上,拭去一切琐碎愚蠢的记录,一切书本上的格言、一切陈言套语、一切过去的印象、我的少年的阅历所留下的痕迹,只让你的命令留在我的脑筋的书卷里,不搀杂一些下贱的废料;是的,上天为我作证!啊,最恶毒的妇人!啊,奸贼,奸贼,脸上堆着笑的万恶的奸贼!我的记事簿呢?我必须把它记下来:一个人可以尽管满面都是笑,骨子里却是杀人的奸贼;至少我相信在丹麦是这样的。(写字)好,叔父,我把你写下来了。现在我要记下我的座右铭那是,“再会.再会!记着我。”我已经发过誓了。
霍拉旭 (在内)殿下!殿下!
马西勒斯 (在内)哈姆莱特殿下!
霍拉旭 (在内)上天保佑他!
马西勒斯 (在内)但愿如此!
霍拉旭 (在内)喂,呵,呵,殿下!
哈姆莱特 喂,呵,呵,孩儿!来,鸟儿,来。
霍拉旭及马西勒斯上。
马西勒斯 怎样,殿下!
霍拉旭 有什么事,殿下?
哈姆莱特 啊!奇怪!
霍拉旭 好殿下,告诉我们。
哈姆莱特 不,你们会泄漏出去的。
霍拉旭 不,殿下,凭着上天起誓,我一定不泄漏。
马西勒斯 我也一定不泄漏,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么你们说,哪一个人会想得到有这种事?可是你们能够保守秘密吗?

哈姆莱特 全丹麦从来不曾有哪一个奸贼不是一个十足的坏人。
霍拉旭 殿下,这样一句话是用不着什么鬼魂从坟墓里出来告诉我们的。
哈姆莱特 啊,对了,你说得有理;所以,我们还是不必多说废话,大家握握手分开了吧。你们可以去照你们自己的意思干你们自己的事——因为各人都有各人的意思和各人的事,这是实际情况——至于我自己,那么我对你们说,我是要祈祷去的。
霍拉旭 殿下,您这些话好像有些疯疯癫癫似的。
哈姆莱特 我的话得罪了你,真是非常抱歉;是的,我从心底里抱歉。
霍拉旭 谈不上得罪,殿下。
哈姆莱特 不,凭着圣伯特力克的名义,霍拉旭,谈得上,而且罪还不小呢。讲到这一个幽灵,那么让我告诉你们,它是一个老实的亡魂;你们要是想知道它对我说了些什么话,我只好请你们暂时不必动问。现在,好朋友们,你们都是我的朋友,都是学者和军人,请你们允许我一个卑微的要求。
霍拉旭 是什么要求,殿下?我们一定允许您。
哈姆莱特 永远不要把你们今晚所见的事情告诉别人。

哈姆莱特 不,你们必须宣誓。
霍拉旭 凭着良心起誓,殿下,我决不告诉别人。
马西勒斯 凭着良心起誓,殿下,我也决不告诉别人。
哈姆莱特 把手按在我的剑上宣誓。
马西勒斯 殿下,我们已经宣誓过了。
哈姆莱特 那不算,把手按在我的剑上。
鬼魂 (在下)宣誓!
哈姆莱 特 啊哈!孩儿!你也这样说吗?你在那儿吗,好家伙?来,你们不听见这个地下的人怎么说吗?宣誓吧。
霍拉旭 请您教我们怎样宣誓,殿下。
哈姆莱特 永不向人提起你们所看见的这一切。把手按在我的剑上宣誓。
鬼魂 (在下)宣誓!
哈姆莱特 “说哪里,到哪里”吗?那么我们换一个地方。过来,朋友们。把你们的手按在我的剑上,宣誓永不向人提起你们所听见的这件事。
鬼魂 (在下)宣誓!
哈姆莱特 说得好,老鼹鼠!你能够在地底钻得这么快吗?好一个开路的先锋!好朋友们,我们再来换一个地方。
霍拉旭 暖哟,真是不可思议的怪事!
哈姆莱特 那么你还是用见怪不怪的态度对待它吧。霍拉旭,天地之间有许多事情,是你们的哲学里所没有梦想到的呢。可是,来,上帝的慈悲保佑你们,你们必须再作一次宣誓。我今后也许有时候要故意装出一副疯疯癫癫的样子,你们要是在那时候看见了我的古怪的举动,切不可像这样交叉着手臂,或者这样摇头摆脑的,或者嘴里说一些吞吞吐吐的言词,例如“呃,呃,我们知道”,或者“只要我们高兴,我们就可以”,或是“要是我们愿意说出来的话”,或是“有人要是怎么怎么”,诸如此类的含糊其辞的话语,表示你们知道我有些什么秘密;你们必须答应我避开这一类言词,上帝的恩惠和慈悲保佑着你们,宣誓吧。
鬼魂 (在下)宣誓!(二人宣誓。)
哈姆莱特 安息吧,安息吧,受难的灵魂!好朋友们,我以满怀的热情.信赖着你们两位;要是在哈姆莱特的微弱的能力以内,能够有可以向你们表示他的友情之处,上帝在上,我一定不会有负你们。让我们一同进去;请你们记着无论什么时候都要守口如瓶。这是一个颠倒混乱的时代,唉,倒楣的我却要负起重整乾坤的责任!来,我们一块儿去吧。

Scene One
A room in POLONIUS>house.

[Enter POLONIUS and REYNALDO]
LORD POLONIUS
Give him this money and these notes,Reynaldo.
REYNALDO
I will,my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
You shall do marvellous wisely,good Reynaldo,
Before you visit him,to make inquire
Of his behavior.
REYNALDO
My lord, I did intend it.
LORD POLONIUS
Marry,well said;very well said.Look you,sir,
Inquire me first what Danskersare in Paris;
And how,and who,what means,and where they keep,
What company,at what expense;and finding
By this encompassmentand drift of question
That they do know my son,come you more nearer
Than your particular demands will touch it:
Take you,as it were,some distant knowledge of him;
As thus,>I know his father and his friends,
And in part him:'do you mark this,Reynaldo?
REYNALDO
Ay,very well,my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
>And in part him;but>you may say >not well:
But,if>t be he I mean, he's very wild;
Addicted so and so:>and there put on him
What forgeriesyou please;marry,none so rank
As may dishonour him;take heed of that;
But,sir, such wanton, wild and usual slips
As are companions noted and most known
To youth and liberty.
REYNALDO
As gaming,my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
Ay,or drinking, fencing,swearing,quarrelling,
Drabbing:you may go so far.
REYNALDO
My lord, that would dishonour him.
LORD POLONIUS
>Faith, no;as you may seasonit in the charge
You must not put another scandalon him,
That he is open to incontinency;
That's not my meaning:but breathe his faults so quaintly
That they may seem the taints of liberty,
The flashand outbreak of a fierymind,
A savagenessin unreclaimedblood,
Of general assault.
REYNALDO
But,my good lord,——
LORD POLONIUS
Whereforeshould you do this?
REYNALDO
Ay, my lord,
I would know that.
LORD POLONIUS
Marry, here's my drift;
And I believe, it is a fetchof wit:
You laying these slight sullieson my son,
As>twere a thing a little soil'd i>the working,Mark you,
Your party in converse, him you would sound,
Having ever seen in the prenominatecrimes
The youth you breathe of guilty,be assured
He closes with you in this consequence;
>Good sir,>or so,or >friend,>or >gentleman,>
According to the phrase or the addition
Of man and country.
REYNALDO
Very good,my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
And then,sir,does he this——he does——what was I
about to say? By the mass,I was about to say
someething:where did I leave?
REYNALDO
At>closes in the consequence,>at >friend or so,>ana >gentleman.>
LORD POLONIUS
At>closes in the consequence,>ay,marry;
He closes thus:>I know the gentleman;
I saw him yesterday,or t>otherday,
Or then,or then;with such,or such;and,as you say,
There was a>gaming;there o>ertookin'srouse;
There falling out at tennis:>or perchance,
>I saw him enter such a house of sale,>
Videlicet,a brothel,or so forth.
See you now;
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth:
And thus do we of wisdom and of reach,
With windlasses and with assays of bias,
By indirections find directions out:
So by my former lecture and advice,
Shall you my son.You have me,have you not?
REYNALDO
My lord,I have.
LORD POLONIUS
God be wi> you;fare you well.
REYNALDO
Good my lord!
LORD POLONIUS
Observe his inclination in yourself.
REYNALDO
I shall,my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
And let him ply his music.
REYNALDO
Well,my lord.
LORD POLONIUS
Farewell!
Exit REYNALDO
Enter OPHELIA
How now,Ophelia!what's the matter?
OPHELIA
O,my lord,my lord,I have been so affrighted!
LORD POLONIUS
With what,i>the name of God?
OPHELIA
My lord,as I was sewing in my closet,
Lord Hamlet,with his doublet all unbraced;
No hat upon his head;his stockings foul'd,
Ungarter'd,and down—gyvedto his ancle;
Paleas his shirt;his knees knocking each other;
And with a look so piteousin purport
As if he had been loosedout of hell
To speak of horrors,——he comes before me.
LORD POLONIUS
Mad for thylove?
OPHELIA
My lord,I do not know;
But truly,I do fear it.
LORD POLONIUS
What said he?
OPHELIA
He took me by the wrist and held me hard;
Then goes he to the length of all his arm;
And,with his other hand thus o>er his brow,
He falls to such perusal of my face
As he would draw it.Long stay'd he so;
At last,a little shaking of mine arm
And thrice his head thus waving up and down,
He raised a sigh so piteous and profound
As it did seem to shatter all his bulk
And end his being:that done,he lets me go:
And,with his head over his shoulder turn'd,
He seem'd to find his way without his eyes;
For out o'doors he went without their helps,
And,to the last,bended their light on me.
LORD POLONIUS
Come,go with me:I will go seek the king.
This is the very ecstasy of love,
Whose violent property fordoes itself
And leads the will to desperate undertakings
As oft as any passion under heaven
That does afflict our natures.I am sorry.
What,have you given him any hard words of late?
OPHELIA
No,my good lord,but,as you did command,
I did repel his fetters and denied
His access to me.
LORD POLONIUS
That hath made him mad.
I am sorry that with better heed and judgment
I had not quoted him:I fear'd he did but trifle,
And meant to wreck thee;but,beshrew my jealousy!
By heaven,it is as proper to our age
To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions
As it is common for the younger sort
To lack discretion.Come,go we to the king:
This must be known;which,being kept close,mightmove
More grief to hide than hate to utter love.



第一场 波洛涅斯家中一室
波洛涅斯及雷奈尔多上。
波洛涅斯 把这些钱和这封信交给他,雷奈尔多。
雷奈尔多 是,老爷。
波洛涅斯 好雷奈尔多,你在没有去看他以前,最好先探听探听他的行为。
雷奈尔多 老爷,我本来就是这个意思。
波洛涅斯 很好,很好,好得很。你先给我调查调查有些什么丹麦人在巴黎,他们是干什么的,叫什么名字,有没有钱,住在什么地方,跟哪些人作伴,用度大不大;用这种转弯抹角的方法,要是你打听到他们也认识我的儿子,你就可以更进一步,表示你对他也有相当的认识;你可以这样说:“我知道他的父亲和他的朋友,对他也略为有点认识。”你听见没有,雷奈尔多?
雷奈尔多 是,我在留心听着,老爷。
波洛涅斯 “对他也略有点认识,可是”,你可以说,“不怎么熟悉;不过假如果然是他的话,那么他是个很放浪的人,有些怎样怎样的坏习惯。”说到这里,你就可以随便捏造一些关于他的坏话;当然罗,你不能把他说得太不成样子,那是会损害他的名誉的,这一点你必须注意;可是你不妨举出一些纨绔子弟们所犯的最普遍的浪荡的行为。
雷奈尔多 譬如赌钱,老爷。
波洛涅斯 对了,或是喝酒、斗剑、赌咒、吵嘴、嫖妓之类,你都可以说。
雷奈尔多 老爷,那是会损害他的名誉的。
波洛涅斯 不,不,你可以在言语之间说得轻淡一些。你不能说他公然纵欲,那可不是我的意思;可是你要把他的过失讲得那么巧妙,让人家听着好像那不过是行为上的小小的不检,一个躁急的性格不免会有的发作,一个血气方刚的少年的一时胡闹,算不了什么。
雷奈尔多 可是老爷——
波洛涅斯 为什么叫你做这种事?
雷奈尔多 是的,老爷,请您告诉我。
波洛涅斯 呃,我的用意是这样的,我相信这是一种说得过去的策略;你这样轻描淡写地说了我儿子的一些坏话,就像你提起一件略有污损的东西似的,听着,要是跟你谈话的那个人,也就是你向他探询的那个人,果然看见过你所说起的那个少年犯了你刚才所列举的那些罪恶,他一定会用这样的话向你表示同意:“好先生——”也许他称你“朋友”,“仁兄”,按照着各人的身分和各国的习惯。
雷奈尔多 很好,老爷。
波洛涅斯 然后他就——他就——我刚才要说一句什么话?嗳哟,我正要说一句什么话;我说到什么地方啦?
雷奈尔多 您刚才说到“用这样的话表示同意”;还有“朋友”或者“仁兄”。
波洛涅斯 说到“用这样的话表示同意,”嗯,对了;他会用这样的话对你表示同意:“我认识这位绅士,昨天我还看见他,或许是前天,或许是什么什么时候,跟什么什么人在一起,正像您所说的,他在什么地方赌钱,在什么地方喝得酩酊大醉,在什么地方因为打网球而跟人家打起架来;”也许他还会说,“我看见他走进什么什么一家生意人家去,”那就是说窑子或是诸如此类的所在。你瞧,你用说谎的钓饵,就可以把事实的真相诱上你的钓钩;我们有智慧、有见识的人,往往用这种旁敲侧击的方法,间接达到我们的目的;你也可以照着我上面所说的那一番话,探听出我的儿子的行为。你懂得我的意思没有?
雷奈尔多 老爷,我懂得。
波洛涅斯 上帝和你同在;再会!
雷奈尔多 那么我走了,老爷。
波洛涅斯 你自己也得留心观察他的举止。
雷奈尔多 是,老爷。
波洛涅斯 叫他用心学习音乐。
雷奈尔多 是,老爷。
波洛涅斯 你去吧!(雷奈尔多下。)
奥菲利娅上。
波洛涅斯 啊,奥菲利娅!什么事?
奥菲利娅 嗳哟,父亲,吓死我了!
波洛涅斯 凭着上帝的名义,怕什么?
奥菲利娅 父亲,我正在房间里缝纫的时候,哈姆莱特殿下跑了进来,走到我的面前;他的上身的衣服完全没有扣上纽子,头上也不戴帽子,他的袜子上沾着污泥,没有袜带,一直垂到脚踝上;他的脸色像他的衬衫一样白,他的膝盖互相碰撞,他的神气是那样凄惨,好像他刚从地狱里逃出来,要向人讲述地狱的恐怖一样。
波洛涅斯 他因为不能得到你的爱而发疯了吗?
奥菲利娅 父亲,我不知道,可是我想也许是的。
波洛涅斯 他怎么说?
奥菲利娅 他握住我的手腕紧紧不放,拉直了手臂向后退立,用他的另一只手这样遮在他的额角上,一眼不眨地瞧着我的脸,好像要把它临摹下来似的。这样经过了好久的时间,然后他轻轻地摇动一下我的手臂,他的头上上下下点了三次,于是他发出一声非常惨痛而深长的叹息,好像他的整个的胸部都要爆裂,他的生命就在这一声叹息中间完毕似的。然后他放松了我,转过他的身体,他的头还是向后回顾,好像他不用眼睛的帮助也能够找到他的路,因为直到他走出了门外,他的两眼还是注视在我的身上。
波洛涅斯 跟我来;我要见王上去。这正是恋爱不遂的疯狂;一个人受到这种剧烈的刺激,什么不顾一切的事情都会干得出来,其他一切能迷住我们本性的狂热,最厉害也不过如此。我真后悔。怎么,你最近对他说过什么使他难堪的话没有?
奥菲利娅 没有,父亲,可是我已经遵从您的命令,拒绝他的来信,并不允许他来见我。
波洛涅斯 这就是使他疯狂的原因。我很后悔考虑得不够周到,看错了人。我以为他不过把你玩弄玩弄,恐怕贻误你的终身;可是我不该这样多疑!正像年轻人干起事来,往往不知道瞻前顾后一样,我们这种上了年纪的人,总是免不了鳃鳃过虑,来,我们见王上去。这种事情是不能蒙蔽起来的,要是隐讳不报,也许会闹出乱子来,比直言受责要严重得多。来。

波洛涅斯 把这些钱和这封信交给他,雷奈尔多。
雷奈尔多 是,老爷。
波洛涅斯 好雷奈尔多,你在没有去看他以前,最好先探听探听他的行为。
雷奈尔多 老爷,我本来就是这个意思。
波洛涅斯 很好,很好,好得很。你先给我调查调查有些什么丹麦人在巴黎,他们是干什么的,叫什么名字,有没有钱,住在什么地方,跟哪些人作伴,用度大不大;用这种转弯抹角的方法,要是你打听到他们也认识我的儿子,你就可以更进一步,表示你对他也有相当的认识;你可以这样说:“我知道他的父亲和他的朋友,对他也略为有点认识。”你听见没有,雷奈尔多?

雷奈尔多 可是老爷——
波洛涅斯 为什么叫你做这种事?
雷奈尔多 是的,老爷,请您告诉我。
波洛涅斯 呃,我的用意是这样的,我相信这是一种说得过去的策略;你这样轻描淡写地说了我儿子的一些坏话,就像你提起一件略有污损的东西似的,听着,要是跟你谈话的那个人,也就是你向他探询的那个人,果然看见过你所说起的那个少年犯了你刚才所列举的那些罪恶,他一定会用这样的话向你表示同意:“好先生——”也许他称你“朋友”,“仁兄”,按照着各人的身分和各国的习惯。

波洛涅斯 然后他就——他就——我刚才要说一句什么话?嗳哟,我正要说一句什么话;我说到什么地方啦?
雷奈尔多 您刚才说到“用这样的话表示同意”;还有“朋友”或者“仁兄”。
波洛涅斯 说到“用这样的话表示同意,”嗯,对了;他会用这样的话对你表示同意:“我认识这位绅士,昨天我还看见他,或许是前天,或许是什么什么时候,跟什么什么人在一起,正像您所说的,他在什么地方赌钱,在什么地方喝得酩酊大醉,在什么地方因为打网球而跟人家打起架来;”也许他还会说,“我看见他走进什么什么一家生意人家去,”那就是说窑子或是诸如此类的所在。你瞧,你用说谎的钓饵,就可以把事实的真相诱上你的钓钩;我们有智慧、有见识的人,往往用这种旁敲侧击的方法,间接达到我们的目的;你也可以照着我上面所说的那一番话,探听出我的儿子的行为。你懂得我的意思没有?

雷奈尔多 是,老爷。
波洛涅斯 叫他用心学习音乐。
雷奈尔多 是,老爷。
波洛涅斯 你去吧!(雷奈尔多下。)
奥菲利娅上。
波洛涅斯 啊,奥菲利娅!什么事?
奥菲利娅 嗳哟,父亲,吓死我了!
波洛涅斯 凭着上帝的名义,怕什么?
奥菲利娅 父亲,我正在房间里缝纫的时候,哈姆莱特殿下跑了进来,走到我的面前;他的上身的衣服完全没有扣上纽子,头上也不戴帽子,他的袜子上沾着污泥,没有袜带,一直垂到脚踝上;他的脸色像他的衬衫一样白,他的膝盖互相碰撞,他的神气是那样凄惨,好像他刚从地狱里逃出来,要向人讲述地狱的恐怖一样。
波洛涅斯 他因为不能得到你的爱而发疯了吗?
奥菲利娅 父亲,我不知道,可是我想也许是的。
波洛涅斯 他怎么说?
奥菲利娅 他握住我的手腕紧紧不放,拉直了手臂向后退立,用他的另一只手这样遮在他的额角上,一眼不眨地瞧着我的脸,好像要把它临摹下来似的。这样经过了好久的时间,然后他轻轻地摇动一下我的手臂,他的头上上下下点了三次,于是他发出一声非常惨痛而深长的叹息,好像他的整个的胸部都要爆裂,他的生命就在这一声叹息中间完毕似的。然后他放松了我,转过他的身体,他的头还是向后回顾,好像他不用眼睛的帮助也能够找到他的路,因为直到他走出了门外,他的两眼还是注视在我的身上。
波洛涅斯 跟我来;我要见王上去。这正是恋爱不遂的疯狂;一个人受到这种剧烈的刺激,什么不顾一切的事情都会干得出来,其他一切能迷住我们本性的狂热,最厉害也不过如此。我真后悔。怎么,你最近对他说过什么使他难堪的话没有?
奥菲利娅 没有,父亲,可是我已经遵从您的命令,拒绝他的来信,并不允许他来见我。
波洛涅斯 这就是使他疯狂的原因。我很后悔考虑得不够周到,看错了人。我以为他不过把你玩弄玩弄,恐怕贻误你的终身;可是我不该这样多疑!正像年轻人干起事来,往往不知道瞻前顾后一样,我们这种上了年纪的人,总是免不了鳃鳃过虑,来,我们见王上去。这种事情是不能蒙蔽起来的,要是隐讳不报,也许会闹出乱子来,比直言受责要严重得多。来。

Scene Two
A room in the castle.

[Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,
ROSENCRANTZ,GUILDENSTRERN,and Attendants]
KING CLAUDIUS
Welcome,dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern!
Moreover that we much did long to see you,
The need we have to use you did provoke
Our hastysending.Something have you heard
Of Hamlet's transformation;so call it,
Sithnor the exterior nor the inward man
Resemblesthat it was.What it should be,
More than his father's death,that thus hath put him
So much from the understanding of himself,
I cannot dream of:I entreat you both,
That,being of so young days brought up with him,
And sith so neighbour'd to his youth and havior,
That you vouchsafe your rest here in our court
Some little time:so by your companies
To draw him on to pleasures,and to gather,
So much as from occasion you may glean,
Whether aught,to us unknown,afflicts him thus,
That,open'd,lies within our remedy.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Good gentlemen,he hath much talk'd of you;
And sure I am two men there are not living
To whom he more adheres.If it will please you
To show us so much gentry and good will
As to expend your time with us awhile,
For the supply and profit of our hope,
Your visitation shall receive such thanks
As fits a king's remembrance.
ROSENCRANTZ
Both your majesties
Might,by the sovereign power you have of us,
Put your dread pleasures more into command
Than to entreaty.
GUILDENSTERN
But we both obey,
And here give up ourselves,in the full bent
To lay our service freely at your feet,
To be commanded.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thanks,Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Thanks,Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz:
And I beseech you instantly to visit
My too much changed son.Go,some of you,
And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
GUILDENSTERN
Heavens make our presence and our practises
Pleasant and helpful to him!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Ay,amen!
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ,GUILDENSTERNE,and some Attendants]
[Enter POLONIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
The ambassadorsfrom Norway,my good lord,
Are joyfully return'd.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thou still hast been the father of good news.
LORD POLONIUS
Have I,my lord?I assuremy good liege,
I hold my duty,as I hold my soul,
Both to my God and to my graciousking:
And I do think,or else this brain of mine
Hunts not the trail of policy so sure
As it hath used to do,that I have found
The very cause of Hamlet's lunacy
KING CLAUDIUS
O,speak of that;that do I longto hear.
LORD POLONNIUS
Give first admittance to the ambassadors;
My news shall be the fruit to that great feast.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thyself do grace to them,and bring them in.
[Exit POLONIUS]
He tells me,my dear Gertrude,he hath found
The head and source of all your son's distemper.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
I doubt it is no other but the main;
His father's death,and our o>erhasty marriage.
KING CLAUDIUS
Well,we shall sift him.
[Re-enter POLONIUS,with VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS]
Welcome,my good friends!
Say,Voltimand,what from our brother Norway?
VOLTIMAND
Most fair return of greetings and desires.
Upon our first,he sent out to suppress
His nephew's levies;which to him appear'd
To be a preparation>gainst the Polack;
But,better look'd into,he truly found
It was against your highness:whereat grieved,
That so his sickness,age and impotence
Was falsely borne in hand,sends out arrests
On Fortinbras;which he,in brief,obeys;
Receives rebuke from Norway,and in fine
Makes vow before his uncle never more
To give the assay of arms against your majesty.
Whereon old Norway,overcome with joy,
Gives him three thousand crowns in annual fee,
And his commission to employ those soldiers,
So levied as before,against the Polack:
With an entreaty,herein further shown,
[Giving a paper]
That it might please you to give quiet pass
Through your dominions for this enterprise,
On such regards of safety and allowance
As therein are set down.
KING CLAUDIUS
It likes us well;
And at our more consider'd time well read,
Answer,and think upon this business.
Meantime we thank you for your well-took labour:
Go to your rest;at night we>ll feast together:
Most welcome home!
[Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
This business is well ended.
My liege,and madam,to expostulate
What majesty should be,what duty is,
Why day is day,night night,and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night,day and time.
Therefore,since brevityis the soul of wit,
And tediousnessthe limbsand outward flourishes,
I will be brief:your noble son is mad:
Mad call I it;fof,to define true madness,
What is>t but to be nothing else but mad?
But let that go.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
More matter,with less art.
LORD POLONIUS
Madam,I swear I use no art at all.
That he is mad,>tis true:>tis true >tis pity;
And pity >tis >tis true:a foolish figure;
But farewell it,for I will use no art.
Mad let us grant him,then:and now remains
That we find out the cause of this effect,
Or rather say,the cause of this defect,
For this effect defectivecomes by cause:
Thus it remains,and the remainderthus.Perpend.
I have a daughter——have while she is mine——
Who,in her duty and obedience,mark,
Hath given me this:now gather,and surmise.
[Reads]
>To the celestial and my soul's idol,the most
beautified Ophelia,>——
That's an ill phrase,a vile phrase;>beautified>is
a vile phrase:but you shall hear.Thus:
[Reads]
>In her excellent white bosom,these,&c.>
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Came this from Hamlet to her?
LORD POLONIUS
Good madam,stay awhile;I will be faithful.
[Reads]
'doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
>O dear Ophelia,I am ill at these numbers;
I have not art reckon my groans:but that
I love thee best,O most best,believe it.Adieu
>Thine evermore most dear lady,whilst
this machine is to him,HAMLET.>
This,in obedience,hath my daughter shown me,
And more above,hath his solicitings,
As they fell out by time,by means and place,
All given to mine ear.
KING CLAUDIUS
But how hath she
Received his love?
LORD POLONIUS
What do you think of me?
KING CLAUDIUS
As of a man faithful and honourable.
LORD POLONIUS
I would fain prove so.But what might you think,
When I had seen this hot love on the wing——
As I perceived it,I must tell you that,
Before my daughter told me——what might you,
Or my dear majesty your queen here,think,
If I had play'd the desk or table-book,
Or given my heart a winking,mute and dumb,
Or look'd upon this love with idle sight;
What might you think?No,I went round to work,
And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
>Lord Hamlet is a prince,out of thy star;
This must not be:>and then I precepts gave her,
That she should lock herself from his resort,
Admit no messengers,receive no tokens.
Which done,she took the fruits of my advice;
And he,repulsed——a short tale to make——
Fell into a sadness,then into a fast,
Thence to a watch,thence into a weakness,
Thence to a lightness,and,by this declension,
Into the madness wherein now he raves,
And all we mourn for.
KING CLAUDIUS
Do you think >tis this?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
It may be,very likely.
LORD POLONIUS
Hath there been such a time——I'd fain know that——
That I have positively said >Tis so,>
When it proved otherwise?
KING CLAUDIUS
Not that I know.
LORD POLONIUS
[Pointing to his head and shoulder]
Take this from this,if this be otherwise:
If circumstances lead me,I will find
Where truth is hid,though it were hid indeed
Within the centre.
KING CLAUDIUS
How may we try it further?
LORD POLONIUS
You know,sometimes he walks four hours together
Here in the lobby.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
So he does indeed.
LORD POLONIUS
At such a time I>ll loose my daughter to him:
Be you and I behind an arras then;
Mark the encounter:if he love her not
And be not from his reason fall>n thereon,
Let me be no assistant for a state,
But keep a farm and carters.
KING CLAUDIUS
We will try it.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
But,look,where sadly the poor wretch comes reading.
LORD POLONIUS
Away,I do beseech you,both away:
I>ll board him presently.
[Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,and Attendants]
[Enter HAMLET,reading]
O,give me leave:
How does my good Lord Hamlet?
HAMLET
Well,God-a-mercy.
LORD POLONIUS
Do you know me,my lord?
HAMLET
Excellent well;you are a fishmonger.
LORD POLONIUS
Not I,my lord.
HAMLET
Then I would you were so honest a man.
LORD POLONIUS
Honest,my lord!
HAMLET
Ay,sir;to be honest,as this world goes,is to be
one man picked out of ten thousand.
LORD POLONIUS
That's very true,my lord.
HAMLET
For if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog,being a
god kissing carrion,——Have you a daughter?
LORD POLONIUS
I have,my lord.
HAMLET
Let her not walk i>thesun:conceptionis a
blessing:but not as your daughter may conceive.
Friend,look to>t.
LORD POLONIUS
[Aside]How say you by that?Still harpingon my
daughter:yet he knew me not at first;he said I was a
fishmonger:he is far gone,far gone:and truly in my youth I
suffered much extremityfor love;very near this.I>ll speak to
him again.
What do you read,my lord?
HAMLET
Words,words,words.
LOPRD POLONIUS
What is the matter,my lord?
HAMLET
Between who?
LORD POLONIUS
I mean,the matter that you read,my lord
HAMLET
Slanders,sir:for the satirical rogue says here
that old men have grey beards,that their faces are
wrinkled,their eyes purging thick amber and
plum-tree gum and that they have a plentiful lack of
wit,together with most weak hams:all which,sir
though I most powerfully and potently believe,yet
I hold it not honesy to have it thus set down,for
yourself,sir,should be old as I am,if like a crab
you could go backward.
LORD POLONIUS
[Aside]Though this be madness,yet there is method
in>t.Will you walk out of the air,my lord?
HAMLET
Into my grave.
LORD POLONIUS
Indeed,thst is out o>the air.
[Aside]
How pregnant sometimes his replies are!a happiness
that often madness hits on,which reason and sanity
could not so prosperously be delivered of.I will
leave him,and suddenly contrive the means of
meeting between him and my daughter.——My honourable
lord,I will most humbly take my leave of you.
HAMLET
You cannot,sir,take from me any thing that I will
more willingly part withal:except my life,except
my life,except my life.
LORD POLONIUS
Fare you well,my lord.
HAMLET
These tedious old fools!
[Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
LORD POLONIUS
You go to seek the Lord Hamlet;there he is.
ROSENCRANTZ
[To POLONIUS]God save you,sir!
[Exit POLONIUS]
GUILDENSTERN
My honoured lord!
ROSENCRANTZ
My most dear lord!
HAMLET
My excellent good friends!How dost thou,
Guildenstem?Ah,Rosencrantz!Good lads,how do ye
both?
ROSENCRANTZ
As the indifferent children of the earth.
GUILDENSTERN
Happy,in that we are not over-happy;
On fortune's cap we are not the very button.
HAMLET
Nor the soles of her shoe?
ROSENCRANTZ
Neither,my lord.
HAMLET
Then you live about her waist,or in the middle ofher favours?
GUILDENSTERN
>Faith,her privates we.
HAMLET
In secret perts of fortune?O,most true;she
is a strumpet.What's the news?
ROSENCRANTZ
None,my lord,but that me world's grown honest
HAMLET
Then is doomsday near:but your news is not true.
Let me question more in particular:what have you,
my good friends,deserved at the bands of fortune,
that she sends you to prison hither?
GUILDENSTERN
Prison,my lord!
HAMLET
Denmark's a prison.
ROSENCRANTZ
Then is the word one.
HAMLET
A goodly one;in which there are many confines,
wards and dungeons,Denmark being one o>the worst.
ROSENCRANTZ
We think not so,my lord.
HAMLET
Why,then,>tis none to you;for there is nothing
either good or bad,but thinking makes it so:to me
it is a prison.
ROSENCRANTZ
Why then,your ambition makes it one;>tis too
narrow for your mind.
HAMLET
O God,I could be bounded in a nut shell and count
myself a king of infinite space,were it not that I
have bad dreams.
GUILDENSTERLN
Which dreams indeed are ambition,for the very
substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
HAMLET
A dream itself is but a shadow.
ROSENCRANTZ
Truly,and I hold ambition of so airy and light a
quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.
HAMLET
Then are our beggars bodies,and our monarchs and
outstretched heroes the beggars> shadows. Shall we
to the court?for,by my fay,I cannot reason.
ROSENCRANTZ
GUILDENSTERN
We>ll wait upon you.
HAMLET
No such matter:I will not sort you with the rest
of my servants,for,to speak to you like an honest
man,I am most dreadfully attended.But,in the
beaten way of friendship,what make you at Elsinore?
ROSENCRANTZ
To visit you,my lord;no other occasion.
HAMLET
Beggar that I am,I am even poor in thanks;but I
thank you:and sure,dear friends,my thanks are
too dear a halfpenny.Were you not sent for?Is it
your own inclining?Is it a free visitation?Come,
deal justly with me:come,come;nay,speak.
GUILDENSTERN
What should we say,my lord?
HAMLET
Why,any thing,but to the purpose.You were sent
for;and there is a kind of confession in your looks
which your modesties have not craft enough to colour:
I know the good king and queen have sent for you.
ROSENCRANTZ
To what end,my lord?
HAMLET
That you must teach me.But let me conjure you,by
the rights of our fellowship,by the consonancy of
our youth,by the obligation of our ever-preserved
love,and by what more dear a better proposer could charge you
withal,be even and direct with me,
whether you were sent for,or no?
ROSENCRANTZ
[Aside to GUILDENSTERN]What say you?
HAMLET
[Aside]Nay,then,I have an eye of you.——If you love me,hold not off.
GUILDENSTERN
My lord,we were sent for.
HAMLET
I will tell you why;so shall my anticipation
prevent your discovery,and your secrecy to the king
and queen moult no feather.I have of late——but
wherefore I know not——lost all my mirth,forgone all
custom of exercises;and indeed it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame,the
earth,seems to me a sterile promontory,this most
excellent canopy,the air,look you,this brave
o>erhanging firmament,this majestical roof fretted
with golden fire,why,it appears no other thing to
me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
What a piece of work is a man!how noble in reason! how
infinite in faculty!in form and moving how
express and admirable!in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god!the beauty of the
world!the paragon of animals!And yet,to me,
what is this quintessence of dust?man delights not
me:no,nor woman neither,though by your smiling
you seem to say so.
ROSENCRANTZ
My lord,there was no such stuff in my thoughts.
HAMLET
Why did you laugh then,when I said >man delights not me>?
ROSENCRANTZ
To think,my lord,if you delight in man,what
lenten entertainment the players shall receive from
you:we coted them on the way;and hither are they
coming,to offer you service.
HAMLET
He that plays the king shall be welcome;his majesty
shall have tribute of me;the adventurous knight
shall use his foil and target;the lover shall not
sigh gratis;the humourous man shall end his part
in peace;the clown shall make those laugh whose
lungs are tickled o>the sere;and the lady shall
say her mind freely,or the blank verse shall halt
for>t.What players are they?
ROSENCRANTZ
Even those you were wont to take delight in,the tragedians of the city.
HAMLET
How chances it they travel?their residence,both
in reputation and profit,was better both ways.
ROSENCRANTZ
I think their inhibition comes by the means of the
late innovation.
HAMLET
Do they hold the same estimation they did when I was
in the city?are they so followed?
ROSENCRANTZ
No,indeed,are they not
HAMLET
How comes it?do they grow rusty?
ROSENCRANTZ
Nay,their endeavourkeeps in the wonted pace:but
there is,sir,an aery of children,little eyases,
that cry out on the top of question,and are most
tyrannically clapped for>t:these are now the
fashion,and so berattle the common stages——so they
call them——that many wearing rapiers are afraid of
goose-quills and dare scarce come thither.
HAMLET
What,are they children?who maintains >em?how are
they escoted?Will they pursue the quality no
longer than they can sing?will they not say
afterwards,if they should grow themselves to common
players——as it is most like,if their means are no
better——their writers do them wrong,to make them
exclaim against their own succession?
ROSENCRANTZ
>Fith,there has been much to do on both sides;and
the nation holds it no sin to tarre them to
controversy: there was,for a while,no money bid
for argument,unless the poet and the player went to
cuffs the question.
HAMLET
Is>t possible?
GUILDENSTERN
O,there has been much throwing about of brains.
HAMLET
Do the boys carry it away?
ROSENCRANTZ
Ay,that they do,my lord;Hercules and his load too.
HAMLET
It is not very strange;for mine uncle is king of
Denmark,and those that would make mows at him while
my father lived,give twenty,forty,fifty,an
hundred ducats a-piece for his picture in little.
'sblood,there is something in this more than
natural,if philosophy could find it out.
[Flourish of trumpets within]
GUILDENSTERN
There are the players.
HAMLET
Gentlemen,you are welcome to Elsinore.Your hands,
come then:the appurtenance of welcome is fashion
and ceremony:let me comply with you in this garb,
lest my extent to the players,which,I tell you,
must show fairly outward,should more appear like
entertainment than yours.You are welcome:but my
uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived.
GUILDENSTERN
In what,my dear lord?
HAMLET
I am but mad north-th-west:when the wind is
southerly I know hawk from a handsaw.
[Enter POLONIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
Well be with you,gentlemen!
HAMLET
Hark you,Guildenstern;and you too:at each ear a
hearer:that great baby you see there is not yet
out of his swaddling-clouts.
ROSENCRANTZ
Happily he's the second time come to them;for they
say an old man is twice a child.
HAMLET
I will prophesy he comes to tell me of the players;
mark it.You say right,sir:o> Monday morning;
>twas so indeed.
LORD POLONIUS
My lord,I have news to tell you.
HAMLET
My lord,I have news to tell you.
When Roscius was an actor in Rome,——
LORD POLONIUS
The actors are come hither,my lord.
HAMLET
Buz,buz!
LORD POLONIUS
Upon mine honour,——
HAMLET
Then came each actor on his ass,——
LORD POLONIUS
The best actors in the world,either for tragedy,
comedy,history,pastoral,pastoral-comical,
historical-pastoral,tragical-historical,tragical-
comical-historical-pastoral,scene individable,or
poem unlimited:Seneca cannot be too heavy,nor
Plautus too light.For the law of writ and the liberty,these
are the only men.
HEMLET
O Jephthah,judgeof Israel,what a treasure hadst thou!
LORD POLONIUS
What a treasure had he,my lord?
HAMLET
Why,
>One fair daughter and no more,
The which he loved passing well.>
LORD POLONIUS
[Aside]Still on my daughter.
HAMLET
Am I not i>the right,old Jephthah?
LORD POLONIUS
If you call me Jephthah,my lord,I have a daughter
that I love passing well.
HAMLET
Nay,that follows not.
LORD POLONIUS
What follows,then,my lord?
HAMLET
Why,
>As by lot,God wot,>and then,you know,
>It came to pass,as most like it was,>——
the first row of the piouschansonwill show you
more;for look,where my abridgement comes.
[Enter four or five Players]
You are welcome,masters;welcome,all.I am glad
to see theewell.Welcome,good friends.O,my old
friend!thy face is valencedsince I saw thee last:
comest thou to beardme in Denmark?What,my young
lady and mistress!By>r lady, your ladyshipisn
earer to heaven than when I saw you last,by the
altitudeof a chopine.Pray God,your voice,like
apieceof uncurrentgold,be not cracked within the ring.
Masters,you are all welcome.We>ll e>en
to>tlike French falconers,fly at any thing we see:
we>ll have a speech straight:come,give us a taste
of your quality;come,a passionatespeech.
First Player
What speech,my lord?
HAMLET
I heard thee speak me a speech once,but it was
never acted;or,if it was,not above once;for the
play,I remember,pleased not the million;>twas
caviareto the general:but it was ——as I received
it,and others,whose judgments in such matters
cried in the top of mine——an excellent play,well
digested in the scenes,set down with as much
modestyas cunning.I remember,one said there
were no salletsin the lines to make the matter
savoury,nor no matter in the phrase that might
indict the author of affectation;but called it an
honest method,as wholeasomeas sweet,and by very
much more handsome than fine.One speech in it I
chiefly loved:>twas Aeneas>tale to Dido;and
thereabout of it especially,where he speaks of
Priam's slaughter:if it live in your memory,begin
at this line:let me see,let me see——
>The ruggedPyrrhus,like the Hyrcanianbeast,>——
it is not so:——it begins with Pyrrhus:——
>The rugged Pyrrhus,he whose sablearms,
Black as his purpose,did the night resemble
When he lay couchedin the ominoushorse,
Hathnow this dread and black complexionsmear'd
With heraldrymore dismal;head to foot
Now is he total gules;horridlytrick'd
With blood of fathers,mothers,daughters,sons,
Baked and impastedwith the parchingstreets,
That lenda tyrannousand damnedlight
To their lord's murder:roastedin wrathand fire,
And thus o>er-sized with coagulategore,
With eyes like carbuncles,the hellishPyrrhus
Old grandsirePriam seeks.>
So,proceed you.
LORD POLONIUS
>ForeGod,my lord,well spoken,with good accent and
good discretion.
First Player
>Anonhe finds him
Striking too short at Greeks;his antiquesword,
Rebelliousto his arm,lies where it falls,
Repugnantto command:unequal match'd,
Pyrrhus at Priam drives;in ragestrikes wide;

LORD POLONIUS
This is too long.
HAMLET
It shall to the barber’s, with your beard.Prithee,
say on:he's for a jigor a tale of bawdry,or he
sleeps:say on:come to Hecuba.
First Player
>But who,O,who had seen the mobledqueen——>
HAMLET
>The mobled queen?>
LORD POLONIUS
That's good;>mobled queen>is good.
First Player
>Run barefootup and down,threatening the flames
With bissonrheum;a cloutupon that head

LORD POLONIUS
Look,whether he has not turned his colour and has
tears in'seyes.Pray you,no more.
HAMLET
>Tis well:I>ll have theespeak out the rest soon.
Good my lord,will you see the players well
bestowed?Do you hear,let them be well used;for
they are the abstract and brief chroniclesof the
time:after your death you were better have a bad
epitaphthan their ill report while you live.
LORD POLONIUS
My lord,I will use them according to their desert.
HAMLET
God's bodykins,man,much better:use every man
after his desert,and who should 'scapewhipping?
Use them after your own honour and dignity:the less
they deserve,the more meritis in your bounty.
Take them in.
LORD POLONIUS
Come,sirs.
HAMLET
Follow him,friends:we>ll hear a play to-morrow.
[Exit POLONIUS with all the Players but the First]
Dostthou hear me,old friend;can you play the
Murder of Gonzago?
First Player
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
We>ll ha>tto-morrow night.You could,for a need,
study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines,which
I would set down and insertin>t,could you not?
First Player
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
Very well.Follow that lord;and look you mockhim not.
[Exit First Player]
My good friends,I>ll leave you till night:you are
welcome to Elsinore.
ROSENCRANTZ
Good my lord!
HAMLET
Ay,so,God be wi>ye;
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
Now I am alone.
O,What a rogue and peasant slave am I!
Is it not monstrousthat this player here,
But in a fiction,in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her workingall his visagewann'd,
Tears in his eyes,distractionin'saspect,
A broken voice,and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit?and all for nothing!
For Hecuba!
What's Hecuba to him,or he to Hecuba,
That he should weep for her? What would he do,
Had he the motiveand the cuefor passion
That I have?He would drownthe stage with tears
And cleavethe general ear with horridspeech,
Make mad the guiltyand appalthe free,
Confoundthe ignorant,and amaze indeed
The very facultiesof eyes and ears.Yet I,
A dull and muddy-mettledrascal,peak,
Like John-a-dreams,unpregnantof my cause,
And can say nothing;no,not for a king,
Upon whose property and most dear life
A damn'ddefeat was made.Am I a coward?
Who calls me villain?breaks my pateacross?
Plucksoff my beard,and blows it in my face?
Tweaksme by the nose?gives me the lie i>the throat,
As deep as to the lungs?who does me this?
Ha!
'swounds,I should take it:for it cannot be
But I am pigeon-liver'dand lack gall
To make oppression bitter,or erethis
I should have fattedall the region kites
With this slave's offal:bloody,bawdyvillain!
Remorseless,treacherous,lecherous,kindless villain!
O,vengeance!
Why,what an assam I!This is most brave,
That I,the son of a dear father murder'd,
Promptedto my revengeby heaven and hell,
Must,like a whore,unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing,like a very drab,
A scullion!
Fie upon>t!foh!About,my brain!I have heard
That guilty creaturessitting at a play
Have by the very cunningof the scene
Been struck so to the soul that presently
They have proclaim'd their malefactions;
For murder,though it have no tongue,will speak
With most miraculousorgan.I>ll have these players
Play something like the murder of my father
Before mine uncle:I>ll observe his looks;
I>ll tent him to the quick:if he but blench,
I know my course.The spirit that I have seen
May be the devil:and the devil hath power
To assume a pleasing shape;yea,and perhaps
Out of my weakness and my melancholy,
As he is very potentwith such spirits,
Abusesme to damnme:I>ll have grounds
More relative than this:the play's the thing
whereinI>ll catch the conscienceof the king.


第二场 城堡中一室


国王、王后、罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞及侍从等上。
国王 欢迎,亲爱的罗森格兰兹和吉尔登斯吞!这次匆匆召请你们两位前来,一方面是因为我非常思念你们,一方面也是因为我有需要你们帮忙的地方。你们大概已经听到哈姆莱特的变化;我把它称为变化,因为无论在外表上或是精神上,他已经和从前大不相同。除了他父亲的死以外,究竟还有些什么原因,把他激成了这种疯疯癫癫的样子,我实在无从猜测。你们从小便跟他在一起长大,素来知道他的脾气,所以我特地请你们到我们宫廷里来盘桓几天,陪伴陪伴他,替他解解愁闷,同时乘机窥探他究竟有些什么秘密的心事,为我们所不知道的,也许一旦公开之后,我们就可以替他对症下药。
王后 他常常讲起你们两位,我相信世上没有哪两个人比你们更为他所亲信了。你们要是不嫌怠慢,答应在我们这儿小作勾留,帮助我们实现我们的希望,那么你们的盛情雅意,一定会受到丹麦王室隆重的礼谢的。
罗森格兰兹 我们是两位陛下的臣子,两位陛下有什么旨意,尽管命令我们;像这样言重的话,倒使我们置身无地了。
吉尔登斯吞 我们愿意投身在两位陛下的足下,两位陛下无论有什么命令,我们都愿意尽力奉行。
国王 谢谢你们,罗森格兰兹和善良的吉尔登斯吞。
王后 谢谢你们,吉尔登斯吞和善良的罗森格兰兹。现在我就要请你们立刻去看看我的大大变了样子的儿子。来人,领这两位绅士到哈姆莱特的地方去。
吉尔登斯吞 但愿上天加佑,使我们能够得到他的欢心,帮助他恢复常态!
王后 阿门!(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞及若干侍从下。)
波洛涅斯上。
波洛涅斯 启禀陛下,我们派往挪威去的两位钦使已经喜气洋洋地回来了。
国王 你总是带着好消息来报告我们。

波洛涅斯 真的吗,陛下?不瞒陛下说,我把我对于我的上帝和我的宽仁厚德的王上的责任,看得跟我的灵魂一样重呢。此外除非我的脑筋在观察问题上不如过去那样有把握了,不然我肯定相信我已经发现了哈姆莱特发疯的原因。
国王 啊!你说吧,我急着要听呢。
波洛涅斯 请陛下先接见了钦使;我的消息留着做盛筵以后的佳果美点吧。
国王 那么有劳你去迎接他们进来。(波洛涅斯下)我的亲爱的乔特鲁德,他对我说他已经发现了你的儿子心神不定的原因。
王后 我想主要的原因还是他父亲的死和我们过于迅速的结婚。
国王 好,等我们仔细问问。
波洛涅斯率伏提曼德及考尼律斯重上。
国王 欢迎,我的好朋友们!伏提曼德,我们的挪威王兄怎么说?
伏提曼德 他叫我们向陛下转达他的友好的问候。他听到了我们的要求,就立刻传谕他的侄儿停止征兵;本来他以为这种举动是准备对付波兰人的,可是一经调查,才知道它的对象原来是陛下;他知道此事以后,痛心自己因为年老多病,受人欺罔,震怒之下,传令把福丁布拉斯逮捕;福丁布拉斯并未反抗,受到了挪威王一番申斥,最后就在他的叔父面前立誓决不兴兵侵犯陛下。老王看见他诚心悔过,非常欢喜,当下就给他三千克朗的年俸,并且委任他统率他所征募的那些兵士,去向波兰人征伐;同时他叫我把这封信呈上陛下,(以书信呈上)请求陛下允许他的军队借道通过陛下的领土,他已经在信里提出若干条件,保证决不扰乱地方的安宁。
国王 这样很好,等我们有空的时候,还要仔细考虑一下,然后答复。你们远道跋涉,不辱使命,很是劳苦了,先去休息休息,今天晚上我们还要在一起欢宴。欢迎你们回来!(伏提曼德、考尼律斯同下。)
波洛涅斯 这件事情总算圆满结束了。王上,娘娘,要是我向你们长篇大论地解释君上的尊严,臣下的名分,白昼何以为白昼,黑夜何以为黑夜,时间何以为时间,那不过徒然浪费了昼、夜、时间;所以,既然简洁是智慧的灵魂,冗长是肤浅的藻饰,我还是把话说得简单一些吧。你们的那位殿下是疯了;我说他疯了,因为假如要说明什么才是真疯,那就只有发疯,此外还有什么可说的呢?可是那也不用说了。
王后 多谈些实际,少弄些玄虚。
波洛涅斯 娘娘,我发誓我一点不弄玄虚。他疯了,这是真的;惟其是真的,所以才可叹,它的可叹也是真的——蠢话少说,因为我不愿弄玄虚。好,让我们同意他已经疯了;现在我们就应该求出这一个结果的原因,或者不如说,这一种病态的原因,因为这个病态的结果不是无因而至的,这就是我们现在要做的一步工作。我们来想一想吧。我有一个女儿——当她还不过是我的女儿的时候,她是属于我的——难得她一片孝心,把这封信给了我;现在,请猜一猜这里面说些什么话。“给那天仙化人的,我的灵魂的偶像,最艳丽的奥菲利娅——”这是一个粗俗的说法,下流的说法;“艳丽”两字用得非常下流;可是你们听下去吧;“让这几行诗句留下在她的皎洁的胸中——”
王后 这是哈姆莱特写给她的吗?
波洛涅斯 好娘娘,等一等,我要老老实实地照原文念:
“你可以疑心星星是火把;
你可以疑心太阳会移转;
你可以疑心真理是谎话;
可是我的爱永没有改变。
亲爱的奥菲利娅啊!我的诗写得太坏。我不会用诗句来抒写我的愁怀;可是相信我,最好的人儿啊!我最爱的是你。再会!最亲爱的小姐,只要我一息尚存,我就永远是你的,哈姆莱特”。这一封信是我的女儿出于孝顺之心拿来给我看的;此外,她又把他一次次求爱的情形,在什么时候,用什么方法,在什么所在,全都讲给我听了。
国王 可是她对于他的爱情抱着怎样的态度呢?
波洛涅斯 陛下以为我是怎样的一个人?
国王 一个忠心正直的人。
波洛涅斯 但愿我能够证明自己是这样一个人,可是假如我看见这场热烈的恋爱正在进行——不瞒陛下说,我在我的女儿没有告诉我以前,早就看出来了——假如我知道有了这么一回事,却在暗中玉成他们的好事,或者故意视若无睹,假作痴聋,一切不闻不问,那时候陛下的心里觉得怎样?我的好娘娘,您这位王后陛下的心里又觉得怎样?不,我一点儿也不敢懈怠我的责任,立刻就对我那位小姐说:“哈姆莱特殿下是一位王子,不是你可以仰望的;这种事情不能让它继续下去。”于是我把她教训一番,叫她深居简出,不要和他见面,不要接纳他的来使,也不要收受他的礼物;她听了这番话,就照着我的意思实行起来。说来话短,他遭到拒绝以后,心里就郁郁不快,于是饭也吃不下了,觉也睡不着了,他的身体一天樵悴一天,他的精神一天恍惚一天,这样一步步发展下去,就变成现在他这一种为我们大家所悲痛的疯狂。
国王 你想是这个原因吗?
王后 这是很可能的。
波洛涅斯 我倒很想知道知道,哪一次我曾经肯定地说过了“这件事情是这样的”,而结果却并不这样?
国王 照我所知道的,那倒没有。
波洛涅斯 要是我说错了话,把这个东西从这个上面拿下来吧。(指自己的头及肩)只要有线索可寻,我总会找出事实的真相,即使那真相一直藏在地球的中心。
国王 我们怎么可以进一步试验试验?
波洛涅斯 您知道,有时候他会接连几个钟头在这儿走廊里踱来踱去。
王后 他真的常常这样踱来踱去。
波洛涅斯 乘他踱来踱去的时候,我就让我的女儿去见他,你我可以躲在帏幕后面注视他们相会的情形;要是他不爱她,他的理智不是因为恋爱而丧失,那么不要叫我襄理国家的政务,让我去做个耕田赶牲口的农夫吧。
国王 我们要试一试。
王后 可是瞧,这可怜的孩子忧忧愁愁地念着一本书来了。
波洛涅斯 请陛下和娘娘避一避;让我走上去招呼他。(国王、王后及侍从等下。)
哈姆莱特读书上。
波洛涅斯 啊,恕我冒昧,您好,哈姆莱特殿下?
哈姆莱特 呃,上帝怜悯世人!
波洛涅斯 你认识我吗,殿下?
哈姆莱特 认识认识,你是一个卖鱼的贩子。
波洛涅斯 我不是,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么我但愿你是一个和鱼贩子一样的老实人。
波洛涅斯 老实,殿下!
哈姆莱特 嗯,先生;在这世上,一万个人中间只不过有一个老实人。

波洛涅斯 这句话说得很对,殿下。
哈姆莱特 要是太阳能在一条死狗尸体上孵育蛆虫,因为它是一块可亲吻的臭肉——你有一个女儿吗?
波洛涅斯 我有,殿下。
哈姆莱特 不要让她在太阳光底下行走,肚子里有学问是幸福,但不是像你女儿肚子里会有的那种学问。朋友,留心哪。
波洛涅斯 (旁白)你们瞧,他念念不忘地提我的女儿;可是最初他不认识我,他说我是一个卖鱼的贩子。他的疯病已经很深了,很深了。说句老实话,我在年轻的时候,为了恋爱也曾大发其疯,那样子也跟他差不多哩。让我再去对他说话。——您在读些什么,殿下?
哈姆莱特 都是些空话,空话,空话。
波洛涅斯 讲的是什么事,殿下?
哈姆莱特 谁同谁的什么事?
波洛涅斯 我是说您读的书里讲到些什么事,殿下。
哈姆莱特 一派诽谤,先生;这个专爱把人讥笑的坏蛋在这儿说着,老年人长着灰白的胡须,他们的脸上满是皱纹,他们的眼睛里粘满了眼屎,他们的头脑里空空洞洞的,他们的两腿是摇摇摆摆的;这些话,先生,虽然我十分相信,可是照这样写在书上,总有些有伤厚道;因为就是拿您先生自己来说,要是您能够像一只蟹一样向后倒退,那么您也应该跟我一样年轻了。
波洛涅斯 (旁白)这些虽然是疯话,却有深意在内。——您要走进里边去吗,殿下?别让风吹着!
哈姆莱特 走进我的坟墓里去?
波洛涅斯 那倒真是风吹不着的地方。(旁白)他的回答有时候是多么深刻!疯狂的人往往能够说出理智清明的人所说不出来的话。我要离开他,立刻就去想法让他跟我的女儿见面。——殿下,我要向您告别了。
哈姆莱特 先生,那是再好没有的事;但愿我也能够向我的生命告别,但愿我也能够向我的生命告别,但愿我也能够向我的生命告别。
波洛涅斯 再会,殿下。(欲去。)
哈姆莱特 这些讨厌的老傻瓜!
罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞重上。
波洛涅斯 你们要找哈姆莱特殿下,那儿就是。
罗森格兰兹 上帝保佑您,大人!(波洛涅斯下。)
吉尔登斯吞 我的尊贵的殿下!
罗森格兰兹 我的最亲爱的殿下!
哈姆莱特 我的好朋友们!你好,吉尔登斯吞?啊,罗森格兰兹!好孩子们,你们两人都好?
罗森格兰兹 不过像一般庸庸碌碌之辈,在这世上虚度时光而已。
吉尔登斯吞 无荣无辱便是我们的幸福;我们高不到命运女神帽子上的钮扣。
哈姆莱特 也低不到她的鞋底吗?
罗森格兰兹 正是,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么你们是在她的腰上,或是在她的怀抱之中吗?
吉尔登斯吞 说老实话,我们是在她的私处。
哈姆莱特 在命运身上秘密的那部分吗?啊,对了;她本来是一个娼妓。你们听到什么消息没有?
罗森格兰兹 没有,殿下,我们只知道这世界变得老实起来了。
哈姆莱特 那么世界末日快到了;可是你们的消息是假的。让我再仔细问问你们;我的好朋友们,你们在命运手里犯了什么案子,她把你们送到这儿牢狱里来了?
吉尔登斯吞 牢狱,殿下!
哈姆莱特 丹麦是一所牢狱。
罗森格兰兹 那么世界也是一所牢狱。
哈姆莱特 一所很大的牢狱,里面有许多监房、囚室、地牢;丹麦是其中最坏的一间。
罗森格兰兹 我们倒不这样想,殿下。
哈姆莱特 啊,那么对于你们它并不是牢狱;因为世上的事情本来没有善恶,都是各人的思想把它们分别出来的;对于我它是一所牢狱。
罗森格兰兹 啊,那是因为您的雄心太大,丹麦是个狭小的地方,不够给您发展,所以您把它看成一所牢狱啦。
哈姆莱特 上帝啊!倘不是因为我总作恶梦,那么即使把我关在一个果壳里,我也会把自己当作一个拥有着无限空间的君主的。
吉尔登斯吞 那种恶梦便是您的野心;因为野心家本身的存在,也不过是一个梦的影子。
哈姆莱特 一个梦的本身便是一个影子。
罗森格兰兹 不错,因为野心是那么空虚轻浮的东西,所以我认为它不过是影子的影子。
哈姆莱特 那么我们的乞丐是实体,我们的帝王和大言不渐的英雄,却是乞丐的影子了。我们进官去好不好?因为我实在不能陪着你们谈玄说理。

哈姆莱特 没有的事,我不愿把你们当作我的仆人一样看待;老实对你们说吧,在我旁边侍候我的人全很不成样了。可是,凭着我们多年的交情,老实告诉我,你们到艾尔西诺来有什么贵干?
罗森格兰兹 我们是来拜访您来的,殿下;没有别的原因。
哈姆莱特 像我这样一个叫化子,我的感谢也是不值钱的,可是我谢谢你们;我想,亲爱的朋友们,你们专程而来,只换到我的一声不值半文钱的感谢,未免太不值得了。不是有人叫你们来的吗?果然是你们自己的意思吗?真的是自动的访问吗?来,不要骗我。来,来,快说。
吉尔登斯吞 叫我们说些什么话呢,殿下?
哈姆莱特 无论什么话都行,只要不是废话。你们是奉命而来的;瞧你们掩饰不了你们良心上的惭愧,已经从你们的脸色上招认出来了。我知道是我们这位好国王和好王后叫你们来的。
罗森格兰兹 为了什么目的呢,殿下?
哈姆莱特 那可要请你们指教我了。可是凭着我们朋友间的道义,凭着我们少年时候亲密的情谊,凭着我们始终不渝的友好的精神,凭着比我口才更好的人所能提出的其他一切更有力量的理由,让我要求你们开诚布公,告诉我究竟你们是不是奉命而来的?
罗森格兰兹 (向吉尔登斯吞旁白)你怎么说?
哈姆莱特 (旁白)好,那么我看透你们的行动了。——要是你们爱我,别再抵赖了吧。
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,我们是奉命而来的。
哈姆莱特 让我代你们说明来意,免得你们泄漏了自己的秘密,有负国王、王后的付托。我近来不知为了什么缘故,一点兴致都提不起来,什么游乐的事都懒得过问;在这一种抑郁的心境之下,仿佛负载万物的大地,这一座美好的框架,只是一个不毛的荒岬;这个覆盖众生的苍穹,这一顶壮丽的帐幕,这个金黄色的火球点缀着的庄严的屋宇,只是一大堆污浊的瘴气的集合。人类是一件多么了不得的杰作!多么高贵的理性!多么伟大的力量!多么优美的仪表!多么文雅的举动!在行为上多么像一个天使!在智慧上多么像一个天神!宇宙的精华!万物的灵长!可是在我看来,这一个泥土塑成的生命算得了什么?人类不能使我发生兴趣;不,女人也不能使我发生兴趣,虽然从你现在的微笑之中,我可以看到你在这样想。
罗森格兰兹 殿下,我心里并没有这样的思想。
哈姆莱特 那么当我说“人类不能使我发生兴趣”的时候,你为什么笑起来?
罗森格兰兹 我想,殿下,要是人类不能使您发生兴趣,那么那班戏子们恐怕要来自讨一场没趣了;我们在路上赶过了他们,他们是要到这儿来向您献技的。
哈姆莱特 扮演国王的那个人将要得到我的欢迎,我要在他的御座之前致献我的敬礼;冒险的骑士可以挥舞他的剑盾;情人的叹息不会没有酬报;躁急易怒的角色可以平安下场;小丑将要使那班善笑的观众捧腹;我们的女主角可以坦白诉说她的心事,不用怕那无韵诗的句子脱去板眼。他们是一班什么戏子?
罗森格兰兹 就是您向来所欢喜的那一个班子,在城里专演悲剧的。
哈姆莱特 他们怎么走起江湖来了呢?固定在一个地方演戏,在名誉和进益上都要好得多哩。
罗森格兰兹 我想他们不能在一个地方立足,是为了时势的变化。
哈姆莱特 他们的名誉还是跟我在城里那时候一样吗?他们的观众还是那么多吗?
罗森格兰兹 不,他们现在已经大非昔比了。
哈姆莱特 怎么会这样的?他们的演技退步了吗?
罗森格兰兹 不,他们还是跟从前一样努力;可是,殿下,他们的地位已经被一群羽毛未丰的黄口小儿占夺了去。这些娃娃们的嘶叫博得了台下疯狂的喝采,他们是目前流行的宠儿,他们的声势压倒了所谓普遍的戏班,以至于许多腰佩长剑的上流顾客,都因为惧怕批评家鹅毛管的威力,而不敢到那边去。
哈姆莱特 什么!是一些童伶吗?谁维持他们的生活?他们的薪工是怎么计算的?他们一到不能唱歌的年龄,就不再继续他们的本行了吗?要是他们赚不了多少钱,长大起来多半还是要做普通戏子的,那时候难道他们不会抱怨写戏词的人把他们害了,因为原先叫他们挖苦备至的不正是他们自己的未来前途吗?
罗森格兰兹 真的,两方面闹过不少的纠纷,全国的人都站在旁边恬不为意地呐喊助威,怂恿他们互相争斗。曾经有一个时期,一个脚本非得插进一段编剧家和演员争吵的对话,不然是没有人愿意出钱购买的。
哈姆莱特 有这等事?
吉尔登斯吞 是啊,在那场交锋里,许多人都投人了大量心血。
哈姆莱特 结果是娃娃们打赢了吗?
罗森格兰兹 正是,殿下;连赫刺克勒斯和他背负的地球都成了他们的战利品。
哈姆莱特 那也没有什么希奇;我的叔父是丹麦的国王,那些当我父亲在世的时候对他扮鬼脸的人,现在都愿意拿出二十、四十、五十、一百块金洋来买他的一幅小照。哼,这里面有些不是常理可解的地方,要是哲学能够把它推究出来的话。(内喇叭奏花腔。)
吉尔登斯吞 这班戏子们来了。
哈姆莱特 两位先生,欢迎你们到艾尔西诺来。把你们的手给我;欢迎总要讲究这些礼节、俗套;让我不要对你们失礼,因为这些戏子们来了以来,我不能不敷衍他们一番,也许你们见了会发生误会,以为我招待你们还不及招待他们殷勤。我欢迎你们;可是我的叔父父亲和婶母母亲可弄错啦。
吉尔登斯吞 弄错了什么,我的好殿下?
哈姆莱特 天上刮着西北风,我才发疯;风从南方吹来的时候,我不会把一只鹰当作了一只鹭鸶。
波洛涅斯重上。
波洛涅斯 祝福你们,两位先生!
哈姆莱特 听着,吉尔登斯吞;你也听着;一只耳朵边有一个人听:你们看见的那个大孩子,还住襁褓之中,没有学会走路哩。
罗森格兰兹 也许他是第二次裹在襁褓里,因为人家说,一个老年人是第二次做婴孩。
哈姆莱特 我可以预言他是来报告我戏子们来到的消息的;听好。——你说得不错;在星期一早上;正是正是。
波洛涅斯 殿下,我有消息要来向您报告。
哈姆莱特 大人,我也有消息要向您报告。当罗歇斯在罗马演戏的时候——
波洛涅斯 那班戏子们已经到这儿来了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 嗤,嗤!
波洛涅斯 凭着我的名誉起誓——
哈姆莱特 那时每一个伶人都骑着驴子而来——
波洛涅斯 他们是全世界最好的伶人,无论悲剧、喜剧、历史剧、田园剧、田园喜剧、田园史剧、历史悲剧、历史田园悲喜剧、场面不变的正宗戏或是摆脱拘束的新派戏,他们无不拿手;塞内加的悲剧不嫌其太沉重,普鲁图斯的喜剧不嫌其太轻浮。无论演出规律的或是自由的剧本方面,他们都是唯一的演员。
哈姆莱特 以色列的士师耶弗他啊,你有一件怎样的宝贝!
波洛涅斯 他有什么宝贝,殿下?
哈姆莱特 嗨,
他有一个独生娇女,
爱她胜过掌上明珠。
波洛涅斯 (旁白)还在提我的女儿。
哈姆莱特 我念得对不对,耶弗他老头儿?
波洛涅斯 要是您叫我耶弗他,殿下,那么我有一个爱如掌珠的娇女。
哈姆莱特 不,下面不是这样的。
波洛涅斯 那么应当是怎样的呢,殿下?
哈姆莱特 嗨,
上天不佑,劫数临头。
下面你知道还有,
偏偏凑巧,谁也难保——
要知道全文,请查这支圣歌的第一节,因为,你瞧,有人来把我的话头打断了。
优伶四五人上。
哈姆莱特 欢迎,各位朋友,欢迎欢迎!——我很高兴看见你这样健康。——欢迎,列位。——啊,我的老朋友!你的脸上比我上次看见你的时候,多长了几根胡子,格外显得威武啦;你是要到丹麦来向我挑战吗?啊,我的年轻的姑娘!凭着圣母起誓,您穿上了一双高底木靴,比我上次看见您的时候更苗条得多啦;求求上帝,但愿您的喉咙不要沙嘎得像一面破碎的铜锣才好!各位朋友,欢迎欢迎!我们要像法国的鹰师一样,不管看见什么就撒出鹰去;让我们立刻就来念一段剧词。来,试一试你们的本领,来一段激昂慷慨的剧词。
伶甲 殿下要听的是哪一段?
哈姆莱特 我曾经听见你向我背诵过一段台词,可是它从来没有上演过;即使上演,也不会有一次以上,因为我记得这本戏并不受大众的欢迎。它是不合一般人口味的鱼子酱;可是照我的意思看来,还有其他在这方面比我更有权威的人也抱着同样的见解,它是一本绝妙的戏剧,场面支配得很是适当,文字质朴而富于技巧。我记得有人这样说过:那出戏里没有滥加提味的作料,字里行间毫无矮揉造作的痕迹;他把它称为一种老老实实的写法,兼有刚健与柔和之美,壮丽而不流于纤巧。其中有一段话是我最喜爱的,那就是埃涅阿斯对狄多讲述的故事,尤其是讲到普里阿摩斯被杀的那一节。要是你们还没有把它忘记,请从这一行念起;让我想想,让我想想:——
野蛮的皮洛斯像猛虎一样——
不,不是这样;但是的确是从皮洛斯开始的:——
野蛮的皮洛斯蹲伏在木马之中,
黝黑的手臂和他的决心一样,
像黑夜一般阴森而恐怖;
在这黑暗狰狞的肌肤之上,

现在更染上令人惊怖的纹章,
从头到脚,他全身一片殷红,
溅满了父母子女们无辜的血,
那些燃烧着熊熊烈火的街道,
发出残忍而惨恶的凶光,
照亮敌人去肆行他们的杀戮,
也焙干了到处横流的血泊;
冒着火焰的熏炙,像恶魔一般,
全身胶黏着凝结的血块,
圆睁着两颗血红的眼睛,
来往寻找普里阿摩斯老王的踪迹。
你接下去吧。
波洛涅斯 上帝在上,殿下,您念得好极了,真是抑扬顿挫,曲尽其妙。
伶甲 那老王正在苦战,
但是砍不着和他对敌的希腊人;
一点不听他手臂的指挥,
他的古老的剑锵然落地;
皮洛斯瞧他孤弱可欺,
疯狂似的向他猛力攻击,
凶恶的利刃虽然没有击中,
一阵风却把那衰弱的老王倒。
这一下打击有如天崩地裂,
惊动了没有感觉的伊利恩,
冒着火焰的城楼霎时坍下,
那轰然的巨响像一个霹雳,
震聋了皮洛斯的耳朵;瞧!
他的剑还没砍下普里阿摩斯
白发的头颅,却已在空中停住;
像一个涂朱抹彩的暴君,
对自己的行为漠不关心,
他兀立不动。
在一场暴风雨未来以前,
天上往往有片刻的宁寂,
一块块乌云静悬在空中,
狂风悄悄地收起它的声息,
死样的沉默笼罩整个大地;
可是就在这片刻之内,
可怕的雷鸣震裂了天空。
经过暂时的休止,杀人的暴念
重新激起了皮洛斯的精神;
库克罗普斯为战神铸造甲胄,
那巨力的锤击,还不及皮洛斯
流血的剑向普里阿摩斯身上劈下
那样凶狠无情。
去,去,你娼妇一样的命运!
天上的诸神啊!剥去她的权力,
不要让她僭窃神明的宝座;
拆毁她的车轮,把它滚下神山,
直到地狱的深渊。
波洛涅斯 这一段太长啦。
哈姆莱特 它应当跟你的胡子一起到理发匠那儿去一 。念下去吧。他只爱听俚俗的歌曲和淫秽的故事,否则他就要瞌睡的。念下去;下面要讲到赫卡柏了。
伶甲 可是啊!谁看见那蒙脸的王后——
哈姆莱特 “那蒙脸的王后”?
波洛涅斯 那很好;“蒙脸的王后”是很好的句子。
伶甲 满面流泪,在火焰中赤脚奔走,
一块布覆在失去宝冕的头上,
也没有一件蔽体的衣服,
只有在惊惶中抓到的一幅毡巾,
裹住她瘦削而多产的腰身;
谁见了这样伤心惨目的景象,
不要向残酷的命运申申毒詈?
她看见皮洛斯以杀人为戏,
正在把她的丈夫的肢体脔割,
忍不住大放哀声,那凄凉的号叫——
除非人间的哀乐不能感动天庭——
即使天上的星星也会陪她流泪,
假使那时诸神曾在场目击,
他们的心中都要充满悲愤。
波洛涅斯 瞧,他的脸色都变了,他的眼睛里已经含着眼泪!不要念下去了吧。
哈姆莱特 很好,其余的部分等会儿再念给我听吧。大人,请您去找一处好好的地方安顿这班伶人。听着,他们是不可怠慢的,因为他们是这一个时代的缩影;宁可在死后得到一首恶劣的墓铭,不要在生前受他们一场刻毒的讥讽。
波洛涅斯 殿下,我按着他们应得的名分对待他们就是了。
哈姆莱特 嗳哟,朋友,还要客气得多哩!要是照每一个人应得的名分对待他,那么谁逃得了一顿鞭子?照你自己的名誉地位对待他们;他们越是不配受这样的待遇,越可以显出你的谦虚有礼。领他们进去。
波洛涅斯 来,各位朋友。
哈姆莱特 跟他去,朋友们;明天我们要听你们唱一本戏。(波洛涅斯偕众伶下,伶甲独留)听着,老朋友,你会演《贡扎古之死》吗?
伶甲 会演的,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么我们明天晚上就把它上演。也许我为了必要的理由,要另外写下约莫十几行句子的一段剧词插进去,你能够把它预先背熟吗?
伶甲 可以,殿下。
哈姆莱特 很好。跟着那位老爷去;留心不要取笑他。(伶甲下。向罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞)我的两位朋友,我们今天晚上再见;欢迎你们到艾尔西诺来!
吉尔登斯吞 再会,殿下!(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞同下。)
哈姆莱特 好,上帝和你们同在!现在我只剩一个人了。啊,我是一个多么不中用的蠢才!这一个伶人不过在一本虚构的故事、一场激昂的幻梦之中,却能够使他的灵魂融化在他的意象里,在它的影响之下,他的整个的脸色变成惨白,他的眼中洋溢着热泪,他的神情流露着仓皇,他的声音是这么呜咽凄凉,他的全部动作都表现得和他的意象一致,这不是极其不可思议的吗?而且一点也不为了什么!为了赫卡柏!赫卡柏对他有什么相干,他对赫卡柏又有什么相干,他却要为她流泪?要是他也有了像我所有的那样使人痛心的理由,他将要怎样呢?他一定会让眼泪淹没了舞台,用可怖的字句震裂了听众的耳朵,使有罪的人发狂,使无罪的人惊骇,使愚昧无知的人惊惶失措,使所有的耳目迷乱了它们的功能。可是我,一个糊涂颟顸的家伙,垂头丧气,一天到晚像在做梦似的,忘记了杀父的大仇;虽然一个国王给人家用万恶的手段掠夺了他的权位,杀害了他的最宝贵的生命,我却始终哼不出一句话来。我是一个懦夫吗?谁骂我恶人?谁敲破我的脑壳?谁拔去我的胡子,把它吹在我的脸上?谁扭我的鼻子?谁当面指斥我胡说?谁对我做这种事?嘿!我应该忍受这样的侮辱,因为我是一个没有心肝、逆来顺受的怯汉,否则我早已用这奴才的尸肉,喂肥了满天盘旋的乌鸢了。嗜血的、荒淫的恶贼!狠心的、奸诈的、淫邪的、悖逆的恶贼!啊!复仇!——嗨,我真是个蠢才!我的亲爱的父亲被人谋杀了,鬼神都在鞭策我复仇,我这做儿子的却像一个下流女人似的,只会用空言发发牢骚,学起泼妇骂街的样子来,在我已经是了不得的了!呸!呸!活动起来吧,我的脑筋!我听人家说,犯罪的人在看戏的时候,因为台上表演的巧妙,有时会激动天良,当场供认他们的罪恶;因为暗杀的事情无论干得怎样秘密,总会借着神奇的喉舌泄露出来。我要叫这班伶人在我的叔父面前表演一本跟我的父亲的惨死情节相仿的戏剧,我就在一旁窥察他的神色;我要探视到他的灵魂的深处,要是他稍露惊骇不安之态,我就知道我应该怎么办。我所看见的幽灵也许是魔鬼的化身,借着一个美好的形状出现,魔鬼是有这一种本领的;对于柔弱忧郁的灵魂,他最容易发挥他的力量;也许他看准了我的柔弱和忧郁,才来向我作祟,要把我引诱到沉沦的路上。我要先得到一些比这更切实的证据;凭着这本戏,我可以发掘国王内心的隐秘。



沐觅谨。

Scene Two
A room in the castle.

[Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,
ROSENCRANTZ,GUILDENSTRERN,and Attendants]
KING CLAUDIUS
Welcome,dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern!
Moreover that we much did long to see you,
The need we have to use you did provoke
Our hastysending.Something have you heard
Of Hamlet's transformation;so call it,
Sithnor the exterior nor the inward man
Resemblesthat it was.What it should be,
More than his father's death,that thus hath put him
So much from the understanding of himself,
I cannot dream of:I entreat you both,
That,being of so young days brought up with him,
And sith so neighbour'd to his youth and havior,
That you vouchsafe your rest here in our court
Some little time:so by your companies
To draw him on to pleasures,and to gather,
So much as from occasion you may glean,
Whether aught,to us unknown,afflicts him thus,
That,open'd,lies within our remedy.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Good gentlemen,he hath much talk'd of you;
And sure I am two men there are not living
To whom he more adheres.If it will please you
To show us so much gentry and good will
As to expend your time with us awhile,
For the supply and profit of our hope,
Your visitation shall receive such thanks
As fits a king's remembrance.
ROSENCRANTZ
Both your majesties
Might,by the sovereign power you have of us,
Put your dread pleasures more into command
Than to entreaty.
GUILDENSTERN
But we both obey,
And here give up ourselves,in the full bent
To lay our service freely at your feet,
To be commanded.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thanks,Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Thanks,Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz:
And I beseech you instantly to visit
My too much changed son.Go,some of you,
And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
GUILDENSTERN
Heavens make our presence and our practises
Pleasant and helpful to him!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Ay,amen!
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ,GUILDENSTERNE,and some Attendants]
[Enter POLONIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
The ambassadorsfrom Norway,my good lord,
Are joyfully return'd.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thou still hast been the father of good news.
LORD POLONIUS
Have I,my lord?I assuremy good liege,
I hold my duty,as I hold my soul,
Both to my God and to my graciousking:
And I do think,or else this brain of mine
Hunts not the trail of policy so sure
As it hath used to do,that I have found
The very cause of Hamlet's lunacy
KING CLAUDIUS
O,speak of that;that do I longto hear.
LORD POLONNIUS
Give first admittance to the ambassadors;
My news shall be the fruit to that great feast.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thyself do grace to them,and bring them in.
[Exit POLONIUS]
He tells me,my dear Gertrude,he hath found
The head and source of all your son's distemper.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
I doubt it is no other but the main;
His father's death,and our o>erhasty marriage.
KING CLAUDIUS
Well,we shall sift him.
[Re-enter POLONIUS,with VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS]
Welcome,my good friends!
Say,Voltimand,what from our brother Norway?
VOLTIMAND
Most fair return of greetings and desires.
Upon our first,he sent out to suppress
His nephew's levies;which to him appear'd
To be a preparation>gainst the Polack;
But,better look'd into,he truly found
It was against your highness:whereat grieved,
That so his sickness,age and impotence
Was falsely borne in hand,sends out arrests
On Fortinbras;which he,in brief,obeys;
Receives rebuke from Norway,and in fine
Makes vow before his uncle never more
To give the assay of arms against your majesty.
Whereon old Norway,overcome with joy,
Gives him three thousand crowns in annual fee,
And his commission to employ those soldiers,
So levied as before,against the Polack:
With an entreaty,herein further shown,
[Giving a paper]
That it might please you to give quiet pass
Through your dominions for this enterprise,
On such regards of safety and allowance
As therein are set down.
KING CLAUDIUS
It likes us well;
And at our more consider'd time well read,
Answer,and think upon this business.
Meantime we thank you for your well-took labour:
Go to your rest;at night we>ll feast together:
Most welcome home!
[Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
This business is well ended.
My liege,and madam,to expostulate
What majesty should be,what duty is,
Why day is day,night night,and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night,day and time.
Therefore,since brevityis the soul of wit,
And tediousnessthe limbsand outward flourishes,
I will be brief:your noble son is mad:
Mad call I it;fof,to define true madness,
What is>t but to be nothing else but mad?
But let that go.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
More matter,with less art.
LORD POLONIUS
Madam,I swear I use no art at all.
That he is mad,>tis true:>tis true >tis pity;
And pity >tis >tis true:a foolish figure;
But farewell it,for I will use no art.
Mad let us grant him,then:and now remains
That we find out the cause of this effect,
Or rather say,the cause of this defect,
For this effect defectivecomes by cause:
Thus it remains,and the remainderthus.Perpend.
I have a daughter——have while she is mine——
Who,in her duty and obedience,mark,
Hath given me this:now gather,and surmise.
[Reads]
>To the celestial and my soul's idol,the most
beautified Ophelia,>——
That's an ill phrase,a vile phrase;>beautified>is
a vile phrase:but you shall hear.Thus:
[Reads]
>In her excellent white bosom,these,&c.>
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Came this from Hamlet to her?
LORD POLONIUS
Good madam,stay awhile;I will be faithful.
[Reads]
'doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
>O dear Ophelia,I am ill at these numbers;
I have not art reckon my groans:but that
I love thee best,O most best,believe it.Adieu
>Thine evermore most dear lady,whilst
this machine is to him,HAMLET.>
This,in obedience,hath my daughter shown me,
And more above,hath his solicitings,
As they fell out by time,by means and place,
All given to mine ear.
KING CLAUDIUS
But how hath she
Received his love?
LORD POLONIUS
What do you think of me?
KING CLAUDIUS
As of a man faithful and honourable.
LORD POLONIUS
I would fain prove so.But what might you think,
When I had seen this hot love on the wing——
As I perceived it,I must tell you that,
Before my daughter told me——what might you,
Or my dear majesty your queen here,think,
If I had play'd the desk or table-book,
Or given my heart a winking,mute and dumb,
Or look'd upon this love with idle sight;
What might you think?No,I went round to work,
And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
>Lord Hamlet is a prince,out of thy star;
This must not be:>and then I precepts gave her,
That she should lock herself from his resort,
Admit no messengers,receive no tokens.
Which done,she took the fruits of my advice;
And he,repulsed——a short tale to make——
Fell into a sadness,then into a fast,
Thence to a watch,thence into a weakness,
Thence to a lightness,and,by this declension,
Into the madness wherein now he raves,
And all we mourn for.
KING CLAUDIUS
Do you think >tis this?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
It may be,very likely.
LORD POLONIUS
Hath there been such a time——I'd fain know that——
That I have positively said >Tis so,>
When it proved otherwise?
KING CLAUDIUS
Not that I know.
LORD POLONIUS
[Pointing to his head and shoulder]
Take this from this,if this be otherwise:
If circumstances lead me,I will find
Where truth is hid,though it were hid indeed
Within the centre.
KING CLAUDIUS
How may we try it further?
LORD POLONIUS
You know,sometimes he walks four hours together
Here in the lobby.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
So he does indeed.
LORD POLONIUS
At such a time I>ll loose my daughter to him:
Be you and I behind an arras then;
Mark the encounter:if he love her not
And be not from his reason fall>n thereon,
Let me be no assistant for a state,
But keep a farm and carters.
KING CLAUDIUS
We will try it.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
But,look,where sadly the poor wretch comes reading.
LORD POLONIUS
Away,I do beseech you,both away:
I>ll board him presently.
[Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,and Attendants]
[Enter HAMLET,reading]
O,give me leave:
How does my good Lord Hamlet?
HAMLET
Well,God-a-mercy.
LORD POLONIUS
Do you know me,my lord?
HAMLET
Excellent well;you are a fishmonger.
LORD POLONIUS
Not I,my lord.
HAMLET
Then I would you were so honest a man.
LORD POLONIUS
Honest,my lord!
HAMLET
Ay,sir;to be honest,as this world goes,is to be
one man picked out of ten thousand.
LORD POLONIUS
That's very true,my lord.
HAMLET
For if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog,being a
god kissing carrion,——Have you a daughter?
LORD POLONIUS
I have,my lord.
HAMLET
Let her not walk i>thesun:conceptionis a
blessing:but not as your daughter may conceive.
Friend,look to>t.
LORD POLONIUS
[Aside]How say you by that?Still harpingon my
daughter:yet he knew me not at first;he said I was a
fishmonger:he is far gone,far gone:and truly in my youth I
suffered much extremityfor love;very near this.I>ll speak to
him again.
What do you read,my lord?
HAMLET
Words,words,words.
LOPRD POLONIUS
What is the matter,my lord?
HAMLET
Between who?
LORD POLONIUS
I mean,the matter that you read,my lord
HAMLET
Slanders,sir:for the satirical rogue says here
that old men have grey beards,that their faces are
wrinkled,their eyes purging thick amber and
plum-tree gum and that they have a plentiful lack of
wit,together with most weak hams:all which,sir
though I most powerfully and potently believe,yet
I hold it not honesy to have it thus set down,for
yourself,sir,should be old as I am,if like a crab
you could go backward.
LORD POLONIUS
[Aside]Though this be madness,yet there is method
in>t.Will you walk out of the air,my lord?
HAMLET
Into my grave.
LORD POLONIUS
Indeed,thst is out o>the air.
[Aside]
How pregnant sometimes his replies are!a happiness
that often madness hits on,which reason and sanity
could not so prosperously be delivered of.I will
leave him,and suddenly contrive the means of
meeting between him and my daughter.——My honourable
lord,I will most humbly take my leave of you.
HAMLET
You cannot,sir,take from me any thing that I will
more willingly part withal:except my life,except
my life,except my life.
LORD POLONIUS
Fare you well,my lord.
HAMLET
These tedious old fools!
[Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
LORD POLONIUS
You go to seek the Lord Hamlet;there he is.
ROSENCRANTZ
[To POLONIUS]God save you,sir!
[Exit POLONIUS]
GUILDENSTERN
My honoured lord!
ROSENCRANTZ
My most dear lord!
HAMLET
My excellent good friends!How dost thou,
Guildenstem?Ah,Rosencrantz!Good lads,how do ye
both?
ROSENCRANTZ
As the indifferent children of the earth.
GUILDENSTERN
Happy,in that we are not over-happy;
On fortune's cap we are not the very button.
HAMLET
Nor the soles of her shoe?
ROSENCRANTZ
Neither,my lord.
HAMLET
Then you live about her waist,or in the middle ofher favours?
GUILDENSTERN
>Faith,her privates we.
HAMLET
In secret perts of fortune?O,most true;she
is a strumpet.What's the news?
ROSENCRANTZ
None,my lord,but that me world's grown honest
HAMLET
Then is doomsday near:but your news is not true.
Let me question more in particular:what have you,
my good friends,deserved at the bands of fortune,
that she sends you to prison hither?
GUILDENSTERN
Prison,my lord!
HAMLET
Denmark's a prison.
ROSENCRANTZ
Then is the word one.
HAMLET
A goodly one;in which there are many confines,
wards and dungeons,Denmark being one o>the worst.
ROSENCRANTZ
We think not so,my lord.
HAMLET
Why,then,>tis none to you;for there is nothing
either good or bad,but thinking makes it so:to me
it is a prison.
ROSENCRANTZ
Why then,your ambition makes it one;>tis too
narrow for your mind.
HAMLET
O God,I could be bounded in a nut shell and count
myself a king of infinite space,were it not that I
have bad dreams.
GUILDENSTERLN
Which dreams indeed are ambition,for the very
substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
HAMLET
A dream itself is but a shadow.
ROSENCRANTZ
Truly,and I hold ambition of so airy and light a
quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.
HAMLET
Then are our beggars bodies,and our monarchs and
outstretched heroes the beggars> shadows. Shall we
to the court?for,by my fay,I cannot reason.
ROSENCRANTZ
GUILDENSTERN
We>ll wait upon you.
HAMLET
No such matter:I will not sort you with the rest
of my servants,for,to speak to you like an honest
man,I am most dreadfully attended.But,in the
beaten way of friendship,what make you at Elsinore?
ROSENCRANTZ
To visit you,my lord;no other occasion.
HAMLET
Beggar that I am,I am even poor in thanks;but I
thank you:and sure,dear friends,my thanks are
too dear a halfpenny.Were you not sent for?Is it
your own inclining?Is it a free visitation?Come,
deal justly with me:come,come;nay,speak.
GUILDENSTERN
What should we say,my lord?
HAMLET
Why,any thing,but to the purpose.You were sent
for;and there is a kind of confession in your looks
which your modesties have not craft enough to colour:
I know the good king and queen have sent for you.
ROSENCRANTZ
To what end,my lord?
HAMLET
That you must teach me.But let me conjure you,by
the rights of our fellowship,by the consonancy of
our youth,by the obligation of our ever-preserved
love,and by what more dear a better proposer could charge you
withal,be even and direct with me,
whether you were sent for,or no?
ROSENCRANTZ
[Aside to GUILDENSTERN]What say you?
HAMLET
[Aside]Nay,then,I have an eye of you.——If you love me,hold not off.
GUILDENSTERN
My lord,we were sent for.
HAMLET
I will tell you why;so shall my anticipation
prevent your discovery,and your secrecy to the king
and queen moult no feather.I have of late——but
wherefore I know not——lost all my mirth,forgone all
custom of exercises;and indeed it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame,the
earth,seems to me a sterile promontory,this most
excellent canopy,the air,look you,this brave
o>erhanging firmament,this majestical roof fretted
with golden fire,why,it appears no other thing to
me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
What a piece of work is a man!how noble in reason! how
infinite in faculty!in form and moving how
express and admirable!in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god!the beauty of the
world!the paragon of animals!And yet,to me,
what is this quintessence of dust?man delights not
me:no,nor woman neither,though by your smiling
you seem to say so.
ROSENCRANTZ
My lord,there was no such stuff in my thoughts.
HAMLET
Why did you laugh then,when I said >man delights not me>?
ROSENCRANTZ
To think,my lord,if you delight in man,what
lenten entertainment the players shall receive from
you:we coted them on the way;and hither are they
coming,to offer you service.
HAMLET
He that plays the king shall be welcome;his majesty
shall have tribute of me;the adventurous knight
shall use his foil and target;the lover shall not
sigh gratis;the humourous man shall end his part
in peace;the clown shall make those laugh whose
lungs are tickled o>the sere;and the lady shall
say her mind freely,or the blank verse shall halt
for>t.What players are they?
ROSENCRANTZ
Even those you were wont to take delight in,the tragedians of the city.
HAMLET
How chances it they travel?their residence,both
in reputation and profit,was better both ways.
ROSENCRANTZ
I think their inhibition comes by the means of the
late innovation.
HAMLET
Do they hold the same estimation they did when I was
in the city?are they so followed?
ROSENCRANTZ
No,indeed,are they not
HAMLET
How comes it?do they grow rusty?
ROSENCRANTZ
Nay,their endeavourkeeps in the wonted pace:but
there is,sir,an aery of children,little eyases,
that cry out on the top of question,and are most
tyrannically clapped for>t:these are now the
fashion,and so berattle the common stages——so they
call them——that many wearing rapiers are afraid of
goose-quills and dare scarce come thither.
HAMLET
What,are they children?who maintains >em?how are
they escoted?Will they pursue the quality no
longer than they can sing?will they not say
afterwards,if they should grow themselves to common
players——as it is most like,if their means are no
better——their writers do them wrong,to make them
exclaim against their own succession?
ROSENCRANTZ
>Fith,there has been much to do on both sides;and
the nation holds it no sin to tarre them to
controversy: there was,for a while,no money bid
for argument,unless the poet and the player went to
cuffs the question.
HAMLET
Is>t possible?
GUILDENSTERN
O,there has been much throwing about of brains.
HAMLET
Do the boys carry it away?
ROSENCRANTZ
Ay,that they do,my lord;Hercules and his load too.
HAMLET
It is not very strange;for mine uncle is king of
Denmark,and those that would make mows at him while
my father lived,give twenty,forty,fifty,an
hundred ducats a-piece for his picture in little.
'sblood,there is something in this more than
natural,if philosophy could find it out.
[Flourish of trumpets within]
GUILDENSTERN
There are the players.
HAMLET
Gentlemen,you are welcome to Elsinore.Your hands,
come then:the appurtenance of welcome is fashion
and ceremony:let me comply with you in this garb,
lest my extent to the players,which,I tell you,
must show fairly outward,should more appear like
entertainment than yours.You are welcome:but my
uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived.
GUILDENSTERN
In what,my dear lord?
HAMLET
I am but mad north-th-west:when the wind is
southerly I know hawk from a handsaw.
[Enter POLONIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
Well be with you,gentlemen!
HAMLET
Hark you,Guildenstern;and you too:at each ear a
hearer:that great baby you see there is not yet
out of his swaddling-clouts.
ROSENCRANTZ
Happily he's the second time come to them;for they
say an old man is twice a child.
HAMLET
I will prophesy he comes to tell me of the players;
mark it.You say right,sir:o> Monday morning;
>twas so indeed.
LORD POLONIUS
My lord,I have news to tell you.
HAMLET
My lord,I have news to tell you.
When Roscius was an actor in Rome,——
LORD POLONIUS
The actors are come hither,my lord.
HAMLET
Buz,buz!
LORD POLONIUS
Upon mine honour,——
HAMLET
Then came each actor on his ass,——
LORD POLONIUS
The best actors in the world,either for tragedy,
comedy,history,pastoral,pastoral-comical,
historical-pastoral,tragical-historical,tragical-
comical-historical-pastoral,scene individable,or
poem unlimited:Seneca cannot be too heavy,nor
Plautus too light.For the law of writ and the liberty,these
are the only men.
HEMLET
O Jephthah,judgeof Israel,what a treasure hadst thou!
LORD POLONIUS
What a treasure had he,my lord?
HAMLET
Why,
>One fair daughter and no more,
The which he loved passing well.>
LORD POLONIUS
[Aside]Still on my daughter.
HAMLET
Am I not i>the right,old Jephthah?
LORD POLONIUS
If you call me Jephthah,my lord,I have a daughter
that I love passing well.
HAMLET
Nay,that follows not.
LORD POLONIUS
What follows,then,my lord?
HAMLET
Why,
>As by lot,God wot,>and then,you know,
>It came to pass,as most like it was,>——
the first row of the piouschansonwill show you
more;for look,where my abridgement comes.
[Enter four or five Players]
You are welcome,masters;welcome,all.I am glad
to see theewell.Welcome,good friends.O,my old
friend!thy face is valencedsince I saw thee last:
comest thou to beardme in Denmark?What,my young
lady and mistress!By>r lady, your ladyshipisn
earer to heaven than when I saw you last,by the
altitudeof a chopine.Pray God,your voice,like
apieceof uncurrentgold,be not cracked within the ring.
Masters,you are all welcome.We>ll e>en
to>tlike French falconers,fly at any thing we see:
we>ll have a speech straight:come,give us a taste
of your quality;come,a passionatespeech.
First Player
What speech,my lord?
HAMLET
I heard thee speak me a speech once,but it was
never acted;or,if it was,not above once;for the
play,I remember,pleased not the million;>twas
caviareto the general:but it was ——as I received
it,and others,whose judgments in such matters
cried in the top of mine——an excellent play,well
digested in the scenes,set down with as much
modestyas cunning.I remember,one said there
were no salletsin the lines to make the matter
savoury,nor no matter in the phrase that might
indict the author of affectation;but called it an
honest method,as wholeasomeas sweet,and by very
much more handsome than fine.One speech in it I
chiefly loved:>twas Aeneas>tale to Dido;and
thereabout of it especially,where he speaks of
Priam's slaughter:if it live in your memory,begin
at this line:let me see,let me see——
>The ruggedPyrrhus,like the Hyrcanianbeast,>——
it is not so:——it begins with Pyrrhus:——
>The rugged Pyrrhus,he whose sablearms,
Black as his purpose,did the night resemble
When he lay couchedin the ominoushorse,
Hathnow this dread and black complexionsmear'd
With heraldrymore dismal;head to foot
Now is he total gules;horridlytrick'd
With blood of fathers,mothers,daughters,sons,
Baked and impastedwith the parchingstreets,
That lenda tyrannousand damnedlight
To their lord's murder:roastedin wrathand fire,
And thus o>er-sized with coagulategore,
With eyes like carbuncles,the hellishPyrrhus
Old grandsirePriam seeks.>
So,proceed you.
LORD POLONIUS
>ForeGod,my lord,well spoken,with good accent and
good discretion.
First Player
>Anonhe finds him
Striking too short at Greeks;his antiquesword,
Rebelliousto his arm,lies where it falls,

LORD POLONIUS
This is too long.
HAMLET
It shall to the barber’s, with your beard.Prithee,
say on:he's for a jigor a tale of bawdry,or he
sleeps:say on:come to Hecuba.
First Player
>But who,O,who had seen the mobledqueen——>
HAMLET
>The mobled queen?>
LORD POLONIUS
That's good;>mobled queen>is good.
First Player
>Run barefootup and down,threatening the flames
With bissonrheum;a cloutupon that head

LORD POLONIUS
Look,whether he has not turned his colour and has
tears in'seyes.Pray you,no more.
HAMLET
>Tis well:I>ll have theespeak out the rest soon.
Good my lord,will you see the players well
bestowed?Do you hear,let them be well used;for
they are the abstract and brief chroniclesof the
time:after your death you were better have a bad
epitaphthan their ill report while you live.
LORD POLONIUS
My lord,I will use them according to their desert.
HAMLET
God's bodykins,man,much better:use every man
after his desert,and who should 'scapewhipping?
Use them after your own honour and dignity:the less
they deserve,the more meritis in your bounty.
Take them in.
LORD POLONIUS
Come,sirs.
HAMLET
Follow him,friends:we>ll hear a play to-morrow.
[Exit POLONIUS with all the Players but the First]
Dostthou hear me,old friend;can you play the
Murder of Gonzago?
First Player
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
We>ll ha>tto-morrow night.You could,for a need,
study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines,which
I would set down and insertin>t,could you not?
First Player
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
Very well.Follow that lord;and look you mockhim not.
[Exit First Player]
My good friends,I>ll leave you till night:you are
welcome to Elsinore.
ROSENCRANTZ
Good my lord!
HAMLET
Ay,so,God be wi>ye;
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
Now I am alone.
O,What a rogue and peasant slave am I!
Is it not monstrousthat this player here,
But in a fiction,in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her workingall his visagewann'd,
Tears in his eyes,distractionin'saspect,
A broken voice,and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit?and all for nothing!
For Hecuba!
What's Hecuba to him,or he to Hecuba,
That he should weep for her? What would he do,
Had he the motiveand the cuefor passion
That I have?He would drownthe stage with tears
And cleavethe general ear with horridspeech,
Make mad the guiltyand appalthe free,
Confoundthe ignorant,and amaze indeed
The very facultiesof eyes and ears.Yet I,
A dull and muddy-mettledrascal,peak,
Like John-a-dreams,unpregnantof my cause,
And can say nothing;no,not for a king,
Upon whose property and most dear life
A damn'ddefeat was made.Am I a coward?
Who calls me villain?breaks my pateacross?
Plucksoff my beard,and blows it in my face?
Tweaksme by the nose?gives me the lie i>the throat,
As deep as to the lungs?who does me this?
Ha!
'swounds,I should take it:for it cannot be
But I am pigeon-liver'dand lack gall
To make oppression bitter,or erethis
I should have fattedall the region kites
With this slave's offal:bloody,bawdyvillain!
Remorseless,treacherous,lecherous,kindless villain!
O,vengeance!
Why,what an assam I!This is most brave,
That I,the son of a dear father murder'd,
Promptedto my revengeby heaven and hell,
Must,like a whore,unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing,like a very drab,
A scullion!
Fie upon>t!foh!About,my brain!I have heard
That guilty creaturessitting at a play
Have by the very cunningof the scene
Been struck so to the soul that presently
They have proclaim'd their malefactions;
For murder,though it have no tongue,will speak
With most miraculousorgan.I>ll have these players
Play something like the murder of my father
Before mine uncle:I>ll observe his looks;
I>ll tent him to the quick:if he but blench,
I know my course.The spirit that I have seen
May be the devil:and the devil hath power
To assume a pleasing shape;yea,and perhaps
Out of my weakness and my melancholy,
As he is very potentwith such spirits,
Abusesme to damnme:I>ll have grounds
More relative than this:the play's the thing

第二场 城堡中一室


国王、王后、罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞及侍从等上。
国王 欢迎,亲爱的罗森格兰兹和吉尔登斯吞!这次匆匆召请你们两位前来,一方面是因为我非常思念你们,一方面也是因为我有需要你们帮忙的地方。你们大概已经听到哈姆莱特的变化;我把它称为变化,因为无论在外表上或是精神上,他已经和从前大不相同。除了他父亲的死以外,究竟还有些什么原因,把他激成了这种疯疯癫癫的样子,我实在无从猜测。你们从小便跟他在一起长大,素来知道他的脾气,所以我特地请你们到我们宫廷里来盘桓几天,陪伴陪伴他,替他解解愁闷,同时乘机窥探他究竟有些什么秘密的心事,为我们所不知道的,也许一旦公开之后,我们就可以替他对症下药。
王后 他常常讲起你们两位,我相信世上没有哪两个人比你们更为他所亲信了。你们要是不嫌怠慢,答应在我们这儿小作勾留,帮助我们实现我们的希望,那么你们的盛情雅意,一定会受到丹麦王室隆重的礼谢的。
罗森格兰兹 我们是两位陛下的臣子,两位陛下有什么旨意,尽管命令我们;像这样言重的话,倒使我们置身无地了。
吉尔登斯吞 我们愿意投身在两位陛下的足下,两位陛下无论有什么命令,我们都愿意尽力奉行。
国王 谢谢你们,罗森格兰兹和善良的吉尔登斯吞。
王后 谢谢你们,吉尔登斯吞和善良的罗森格兰兹。现在我就要请你们立刻去看看我的大大变了样子的儿子。来人,领这两位绅士到哈姆莱特的地方去。
吉尔登斯吞 但愿上天加佑,使我们能够得到他的欢心,帮助他恢复常态!
王后 阿门!(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞及若干侍从下。)
波洛涅斯上。
波洛涅斯 启禀陛下,我们派往挪威去的两位钦使已经喜气洋洋地回来了。
国王 你总是带着好消息来报告我们。

波洛涅斯 真的吗,陛下?不瞒陛下说,我把我对于我的上帝和我的宽仁厚德的王上的责任,看得跟我的灵魂一样重呢。此外除非我的脑筋在观察问题上不如过去那样有把握了,不然我肯定相信我已经发现了哈姆莱特发疯的原因。
国王 啊!你说吧,我急着要听呢。
波洛涅斯 请陛下先接见了钦使;我的消息留着做盛筵以后的佳果美点吧。
国王 那么有劳你去迎接他们进来。(波洛涅斯下)我的亲爱的乔特鲁德,他对我说他已经发现了你的儿子心神不定的原因。
王后 我想主要的原因还是他父亲的死和我们过于迅速的结婚。
国王 好,等我们仔细问问。
波洛涅斯率伏提曼德及考尼律斯重上。
国王 欢迎,我的好朋友们!伏提曼德,我们的挪威王兄怎么说?
伏提曼德 他叫我们向陛下转达他的友好的问候。他听到了我们的要求,就立刻传谕他的侄儿停止征兵;本来他以为这种举动是准备对付波兰人的,可是一经调查,才知道它的对象原来是陛下;他知道此事以后,痛心自己因为年老多病,受人欺罔,震怒之下,传令把福丁布拉斯逮捕;福丁布拉斯并未反抗,受到了挪威王一番申斥,最后就在他的叔父面前立誓决不兴兵侵犯陛下。老王看见他诚心悔过,非常欢喜,当下就给他三千克朗的年俸,并且委任他统率他所征募的那些兵士,去向波兰人征伐;同时他叫我把这封信呈上陛下,(以书信呈上)请求陛下允许他的军队借道通过陛下的领土,他已经在信里提出若干条件,保证决不扰乱地方的安宁。
国王 这样很好,等我们有空的时候,还要仔细考虑一下,然后答复。你们远道跋涉,不辱使命,很是劳苦了,先去休息休息,今天晚上我们还要在一起欢宴。欢迎你们回来!(伏提曼德、考尼律斯同下。)
波洛涅斯 这件事情总算圆满结束了。王上,娘娘,要是我向你们长篇大论地解释君上的尊严,臣下的名分,白昼何以为白昼,黑夜何以为黑夜,时间何以为时间,那不过徒然浪费了昼、夜、时间;所以,既然简洁是智慧的灵魂,冗长是肤浅的藻饰,我还是把话说得简单一些吧。你们的那位殿下是疯了;我说他疯了,因为假如要说明什么才是真疯,那就只有发疯,此外还有什么可说的呢?可是那也不用说了。
王后 多谈些实际,少弄些玄虚。
波洛涅斯 娘娘,我发誓我一点不弄玄虚。他疯了,这是真的;惟其是真的,所以才可叹,它的可叹也是真的——蠢话少说,因为我不愿弄玄虚。好,让我们同意他已经疯了;现在我们就应该求出这一个结果的原因,或者不如说,这一种病态的原因,因为这个病态的结果不是无因而至的,这就是我们现在要做的一步工作。我们来想一想吧。我有一个女儿——当她还不过是我的女儿的时候,她是属于我的——难得她一片孝心,把这封信给了我;现在,请猜一猜这里面说些什么话。“给那天仙化人的,我的灵魂的偶像,最艳丽的奥菲利娅——”这是一个粗俗的说法,下流的说法;“艳丽”两字用得非常下流;可是你们听下去吧;“让这几行诗句留下在她的皎洁的胸中——”
王后 这是哈姆莱特写给她的吗?
波洛涅斯 好娘娘,等一等,我要老老实实地照原文念:
“你可以疑心星星是火把;
你可以疑心太阳会移转;
你可以疑心真理是谎话;
可是我的爱永没有改变。
亲爱的奥菲利娅啊!我的诗写得太坏。我不会用诗句来抒写我的愁怀;可是相信我,最好的人儿啊!我最爱的是你。再会!最亲爱的小姐,只要我一息尚存,我就永远是你的,哈姆莱特”。这一封信是我的女儿出于孝顺之心拿来给我看的;此外,她又把他一次次求爱的情形,在什么时候,用什么方法,在什么所在,全都讲给我听了。
国王 可是她对于他的爱情抱着怎样的态度呢?
波洛涅斯 陛下以为我是怎样的一个人?
国王 一个忠心正直的人。
波洛涅斯 但愿我能够证明自己是这样一个人,可是假如我看见这场热烈的恋爱正在进行——不瞒陛下说,我在我的女儿没有告诉我以前,早就看出来了——假如我知道有了这么一回事,却在暗中玉成他们的好事,或者故意视若无睹,假作痴聋,一切不闻不问,那时候陛下的心里觉得怎样?我的好娘娘,您这位王后陛下的心里又觉得怎样?不,我一点儿也不敢懈怠我的责任,立刻就对我那位小姐说:“哈姆莱特殿下是一位王子,不是你可以仰望的;这种事情不能让它继续下去。”于是我把她教训一番,叫她深居简出,不要和他见面,不要接纳他的来使,也不要收受他的礼物;她听了这番话,就照着我的意思实行起来。说来话短,他遭到拒绝以后,心里就郁郁不快,于是饭也吃不下了,觉也睡不着了,他的身体一天樵悴一天,他的精神一天恍惚一天,这样一步步发展下去,就变成现在他这一种为我们大家所悲痛的疯狂。
国王 你想是这个原因吗?
王后 这是很可能的。
波洛涅斯 我倒很想知道知道,哪一次我曾经肯定地说过了“这件事情是这样的”,而结果却并不这样?
国王 照我所知道的,那倒没有。
波洛涅斯 要是我说错了话,把这个东西从这个上面拿下来吧。(指自己的头及肩)只要有线索可寻,我总会找出事实的真相,即使那真相一直藏在地球的中心。
国王 我们怎么可以进一步试验试验?
波洛涅斯 您知道,有时候他会接连几个钟头在这儿走廊里踱来踱去。
王后 他真的常常这样踱来踱去。
波洛涅斯 乘他踱来踱去的时候,我就让我的女儿去见他,你我可以躲在帏幕后面注视他们相会的情形;要是他不爱她,他的理智不是因为恋爱而丧失,那么不要叫我襄理国家的政务,让我去做个耕田赶牲口的农夫吧。
国王 我们要试一试。
王后 可是瞧,这可怜的孩子忧忧愁愁地念着一本书来了。
波洛涅斯 请陛下和娘娘避一避;让我走上去招呼他。(国王、王后及侍从等下。)
哈姆莱特读书上。
波洛涅斯 啊,恕我冒昧,您好,哈姆莱特殿下?
哈姆莱特 呃,上帝怜悯世人!
波洛涅斯 你认识我吗,殿下?
哈姆莱特 认识认识,你是一个卖鱼的贩子。
波洛涅斯 我不是,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么我但愿你是一个和鱼贩子一样的老实人。
波洛涅斯 老实,殿下!
哈姆莱特 嗯,先生;在这世上,一万个人中间只不过有一个老实人。

波洛涅斯 这句话说得很对,殿下。
哈姆莱特 要是太阳能在一条死狗尸体上孵育蛆虫,因为它是一块可亲吻的臭肉——你有一个女儿吗?
波洛涅斯 我有,殿下。
哈姆莱特 不要让她在太阳光底下行走,肚子里有学问是幸福,但不是像你女儿肚子里会有的那种学问。朋友,留心哪。
波洛涅斯 (旁白)你们瞧,他念念不忘地提我的女儿;可是最初他不认识我,他说我是一个卖鱼的贩子。他的疯病已经很深了,很深了。说句老实话,我在年轻的时候,为了恋爱也曾大发其疯,那样子也跟他差不多哩。让我再去对他说话。——您在读些什么,殿下?
哈姆莱特 都是些空话,空话,空话。
波洛涅斯 讲的是什么事,殿下?
哈姆莱特 谁同谁的什么事?
波洛涅斯 我是说您读的书里讲到些什么事,殿下。
哈姆莱特 一派诽谤,先生;这个专爱把人讥笑的坏蛋在这儿说着,老年人长着灰白的胡须,他们的脸上满是皱纹,他们的眼睛里粘满了眼屎,他们的头脑里空空洞洞的,他们的两腿是摇摇摆摆的;这些话,先生,虽然我十分相信,可是照这样写在书上,总有些有伤厚道;因为就是拿您先生自己来说,要是您能够像一只蟹一样向后倒退,那么您也应该跟我一样年轻了。
波洛涅斯 (旁白)这些虽然是疯话,却有深意在内。——您要走进里边去吗,殿下?别让风吹着!
哈姆莱特 走进我的坟墓里去?
波洛涅斯 那倒真是风吹不着的地方。(旁白)他的回答有时候是多么深刻!疯狂的人往往能够说出理智清明的人所说不出来的话。我要离开他,立刻就去想法让他跟我的女儿见面。——殿下,我要向您告别了。
哈姆莱特 先生,那是再好没有的事;但愿我也能够向我的生命告别,但愿我也能够向我的生命告别,但愿我也能够向我的生命告别。
波洛涅斯 再会,殿下。(欲去。)
哈姆莱特 这些讨厌的老傻瓜!
罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞重上。
波洛涅斯 你们要找哈姆莱特殿下,那儿就是。
罗森格兰兹 上帝保佑您,大人!(波洛涅斯下。)
吉尔登斯吞 我的尊贵的殿下!
罗森格兰兹 我的最亲爱的殿下!
哈姆莱特 我的好朋友们!你好,吉尔登斯吞?啊,罗森格兰兹!好孩子们,你们两人都好?
罗森格兰兹 不过像一般庸庸碌碌之辈,在这世上虚度时光而已。
吉尔登斯吞 无荣无辱便是我们的幸福;我们高不到命运女神帽子上的钮扣。
哈姆莱特 也低不到她的鞋底吗?
罗森格兰兹 正是,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么你们是在她的腰上,或是在她的怀抱之中吗?
吉尔登斯吞 说老实话,我们是在她的私处。
哈姆莱特 在命运身上秘密的那部分吗?啊,对了;她本来是一个娼妓。你们听到什么消息没有?
罗森格兰兹 没有,殿下,我们只知道这世界变得老实起来了。
哈姆莱特 那么世界末日快到了;可是你们的消息是假的。让我再仔细问问你们;我的好朋友们,你们在命运手里犯了什么案子,她把你们送到这儿牢狱里来了?
吉尔登斯吞 牢狱,殿下!
哈姆莱特 丹麦是一所牢狱。
罗森格兰兹 那么世界也是一所牢狱。
哈姆莱特 一所很大的牢狱,里面有许多监房、囚室、地牢;丹麦是其中最坏的一间。
罗森格兰兹 我们倒不这样想,殿下。
哈姆莱特 啊,那么对于你们它并不是牢狱;因为世上的事情本来没有善恶,都是各人的思想把它们分别出来的;对于我它是一所牢狱。
罗森格兰兹 啊,那是因为您的雄心太大,丹麦是个狭小的地方,不够给您发展,所以您把它看成一所牢狱啦。
哈姆莱特 上帝啊!倘不是因为我总作恶梦,那么即使把我关在一个果壳里,我也会把自己当作一个拥有着无限空间的君主的。
吉尔登斯吞 那种恶梦便是您的野心;因为野心家本身的存在,也不过是一个梦的影子。
哈姆莱特 一个梦的本身便是一个影子。
罗森格兰兹 不错,因为野心是那么空虚轻浮的东西,所以我认为它不过是影子的影子。
哈姆莱特 那么我们的乞丐是实体,我们的帝王和大言不渐的英雄,却是乞丐的影子了。我们进官去好不好?因为我实在不能陪着你们谈玄说理。

哈姆莱特 没有的事,我不愿把你们当作我的仆人一样看待;老实对你们说吧,在我旁边侍候我的人全很不成样了。可是,凭着我们多年的交情,老实告诉我,你们到艾尔西诺来有什么贵干?
罗森格兰兹 我们是来拜访您来的,殿下;没有别的原因。
哈姆莱特 像我这样一个叫化子,我的感谢也是不值钱的,可是我谢谢你们;我想,亲爱的朋友们,你们专程而来,只换到我的一声不值半文钱的感谢,未免太不值得了。不是有人叫你们来的吗?果然是你们自己的意思吗?真的是自动的访问吗?来,不要骗我。来,来,快说。
吉尔登斯吞 叫我们说些什么话呢,殿下?
哈姆莱特 无论什么话都行,只要不是废话。你们是奉命而来的;瞧你们掩饰不了你们良心上的惭愧,已经从你们的脸色上招认出来了。我知道是我们这位好国王和好王后叫你们来的。
罗森格兰兹 为了什么目的呢,殿下?
哈姆莱特 那可要请你们指教我了。可是凭着我们朋友间的道义,凭着我们少年时候亲密的情谊,凭着我们始终不渝的友好的精神,凭着比我口才更好的人所能提出的其他一切更有力量的理由,让我要求你们开诚布公,告诉我究竟你们是不是奉命而来的?
罗森格兰兹 (向吉尔登斯吞旁白)你怎么说?
哈姆莱特 (旁白)好,那么我看透你们的行动了。——要是你们爱我,别再抵赖了吧。
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,我们是奉命而来的。
哈姆莱特 让我代你们说明来意,免得你们泄漏了自己的秘密,有负国王、王后的付托。我近来不知为了什么缘故,一点兴致都提不起来,什么游乐的事都懒得过问;在这一种抑郁的心境之下,仿佛负载万物的大地,这一座美好的框架,只是一个不毛的荒岬;这个覆盖众生的苍穹,这一顶壮丽的帐幕,这个金黄色的火球点缀着的庄严的屋宇,只是一大堆污浊的瘴气的集合。人类是一件多么了不得的杰作!多么高贵的理性!多么伟大的力量!多么优美的仪表!多么文雅的举动!在行为上多么像一个天使!在智慧上多么像一个天神!宇宙的精华!万物的灵长!可是在我看来,这一个泥土塑成的生命算得了什么?人类不能使我发生兴趣;不,女人也不能使我发生兴趣,虽然从你现在的微笑之中,我可以看到你在这样想。
罗森格兰兹 殿下,我心里并没有这样的思想。
哈姆莱特 那么当我说“人类不能使我发生兴趣”的时候,你为什么笑起来?
罗森格兰兹 我想,殿下,要是人类不能使您发生兴趣,那么那班戏子们恐怕要来自讨一场没趣了;我们在路上赶过了他们,他们是要到这儿来向您献技的。
哈姆莱特 扮演国王的那个人将要得到我的欢迎,我要在他的御座之前致献我的敬礼;冒险的骑士可以挥舞他的剑盾;情人的叹息不会没有酬报;躁急易怒的角色可以平安下场;小丑将要使那班善笑的观众捧腹;我们的女主角可以坦白诉说她的心事,不用怕那无韵诗的句子脱去板眼。他们是一班什么戏子?
罗森格兰兹 就是您向来所欢喜的那一个班子,在城里专演悲剧的。
哈姆莱特 他们怎么走起江湖来了呢?固定在一个地方演戏,在名誉和进益上都要好得多哩。
罗森格兰兹 我想他们不能在一个地方立足,是为了时势的变化。
哈姆莱特 他们的名誉还是跟我在城里那时候一样吗?他们的观众还是那么多吗?
罗森格兰兹 不,他们现在已经大非昔比了。
哈姆莱特 怎么会这样的?他们的演技退步了吗?
罗森格兰兹 不,他们还是跟从前一样努力;可是,殿下,他们的地位已经被一群羽毛未丰的黄口小儿占夺了去。这些娃娃们的嘶叫博得了台下疯狂的喝采,他们是目前流行的宠儿,他们的声势压倒了所谓普遍的戏班,以至于许多腰佩长剑的上流顾客,都因为惧怕批评家鹅毛管的威力,而不敢到那边去。
哈姆莱特 什么!是一些童伶吗?谁维持他们的生活?他们的薪工是怎么计算的?他们一到不能唱歌的年龄,就不再继续他们的本行了吗?要是他们赚不了多少钱,长大起来多半还是要做普通戏子的,那时候难道他们不会抱怨写戏词的人把他们害了,因为原先叫他们挖苦备至的不正是他们自己的未来前途吗?
罗森格兰兹 真的,两方面闹过不少的纠纷,全国的人都站在旁边恬不为意地呐喊助威,怂恿他们互相争斗。曾经有一个时期,一个脚本非得插进一段编剧家和演员争吵的对话,不然是没有人愿意出钱购买的。
哈姆莱特 有这等事?
吉尔登斯吞 是啊,在那场交锋里,许多人都投人了大量心血。
哈姆莱特 结果是娃娃们打赢了吗?
罗森格兰兹 正是,殿下;连赫刺克勒斯和他背负的地球都成了他们的战利品。
哈姆莱特 那也没有什么希奇;我的叔父是丹麦的国王,那些当我父亲在世的时候对他扮鬼脸的人,现在都愿意拿出二十、四十、五十、一百块金洋来买他的一幅小照。哼,这里面有些不是常理可解的地方,要是哲学能够把它推究出来的话。(内喇叭奏花腔。)
吉尔登斯吞 这班戏子们来了。
哈姆莱特 两位先生,欢迎你们到艾尔西诺来。把你们的手给我;欢迎总要讲究这些礼节、俗套;让我不要对你们失礼,因为这些戏子们来了以来,我不能不敷衍他们一番,也许你们见了会发生误会,以为我招待你们还不及招待他们殷勤。我欢迎你们;可是我的叔父父亲和婶母母亲可弄错啦。
吉尔登斯吞 弄错了什么,我的好殿下?
哈姆莱特 天上刮着西北风,我才发疯;风从南方吹来的时候,我不会把一只鹰当作了一只鹭鸶。
波洛涅斯重上。
波洛涅斯 祝福你们,两位先生!
哈姆莱特 听着,吉尔登斯吞;你也听着;一只耳朵边有一个人听:你们看见的那个大孩子,还住襁褓之中,没有学会走路哩。
罗森格兰兹 也许他是第二次裹在襁褓里,因为人家说,一个老年人是第二次做婴孩。
哈姆莱特 我可以预言他是来报告我戏子们来到的消息的;听好。——你说得不错;在星期一早上;正是正是。
波洛涅斯 殿下,我有消息要来向您报告。
哈姆莱特 大人,我也有消息要向您报告。当罗歇斯在罗马演戏的时候——
波洛涅斯 那班戏子们已经到这儿来了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 嗤,嗤!
波洛涅斯 凭着我的名誉起誓——
哈姆莱特 那时每一个伶人都骑着驴子而来——
波洛涅斯 他们是全世界最好的伶人,无论悲剧、喜剧、历史剧、田园剧、田园喜剧、田园史剧、历史悲剧、历史田园悲喜剧、场面不变的正宗戏或是摆脱拘束的新派戏,他们无不拿手;塞内加的悲剧不嫌其太沉重,普鲁图斯的喜剧不嫌其太轻浮。无论演出规律的或是自由的剧本方面,他们都是唯一的演员。
哈姆莱特 以色列的士师耶弗他啊,你有一件怎样的宝贝!
波洛涅斯 他有什么宝贝,殿下?
哈姆莱特 嗨,
他有一个独生娇女,
爱她胜过掌上明珠。
波洛涅斯 (旁白)还在提我的女儿。
哈姆莱特 我念得对不对,耶弗他老头儿?
波洛涅斯 要是您叫我耶弗他,殿下,那么我有一个爱如掌珠的娇女。
哈姆莱特 不,下面不是这样的。
波洛涅斯 那么应当是怎样的呢,殿下?
哈姆莱特 嗨,
上天不佑,劫数临头。
下面你知道还有,
偏偏凑巧,谁也难保——
要知道全文,请查这支圣歌的第一节,因为,你瞧,有人来把我的话头打断了。
优伶四五人上。
哈姆莱特 欢迎,各位朋友,欢迎欢迎!——我很高兴看见你这样健康。——欢迎,列位。——啊,我的老朋友!你的脸上比我上次看见你的时候,多长了几根胡子,格外显得威武啦;你是要到丹麦来向我挑战吗?啊,我的年轻的姑娘!凭着圣母起誓,您穿上了一双高底木靴,比我上次看见您的时候更苗条得多啦;求求上帝,但愿您的喉咙不要沙嘎得像一面破碎的铜锣才好!各位朋友,欢迎欢迎!我们要像法国的鹰师一样,不管看见什么就撒出鹰去;让我们立刻就来念一段剧词。来,试一试你们的本领,来一段激昂慷慨的剧词。
伶甲 殿下要听的是哪一段?
哈姆莱特 我曾经听见你向我背诵过一段台词,可是它从来没有上演过;即使上演,也不会有一次以上,因为我记得这本戏并不受大众的欢迎。它是不合一般人口味的鱼子酱;可是照我的意思看来,还有其他在这方面比我更有权威的人也抱着同样的见解,它是一本绝妙的戏剧,场面支配得很是适当,文字质朴而富于技巧。我记得有人这样说过:那出戏里没有滥加提味的作料,字里行间毫无矮揉造作的痕迹;他把它称为一种老老实实的写法,兼有刚健与柔和之美,壮丽而不流于纤巧。其中有一段话是我最喜爱的,那就是埃涅阿斯对狄多讲述的故事,尤其是讲到普里阿摩斯被杀的那一节。要是你们还没有把它忘记,请从这一行念起;让我想想,让我想想:——
野蛮的皮洛斯像猛虎一样——
不,不是这样;但是的确是从皮洛斯开始的:——
野蛮的皮洛斯蹲伏在木马之中,
黝黑的手臂和他的决心一样,
像黑夜一般阴森而恐怖;
在这黑暗狰狞的肌肤之上,

现在更染上令人惊怖的纹章,
从头到脚,他全身一片殷红,
溅满了父母子女们无辜的血,
那些燃烧着熊熊烈火的街道,
发出残忍而惨恶的凶光,
照亮敌人去肆行他们的杀戮,
也焙干了到处横流的血泊;
冒着火焰的熏炙,像恶魔一般,
全身胶黏着凝结的血块,
圆睁着两颗血红的眼睛,
来往寻找普里阿摩斯老王的踪迹。
你接下去吧。
波洛涅斯 上帝在上,殿下,您念得好极了,真是抑扬顿挫,曲尽其妙。
伶甲 那老王正在苦战,
但是砍不着和他对敌的希腊人;
一点不听他手臂的指挥,
他的古老的剑锵然落地;
皮洛斯瞧他孤弱可欺,
疯狂似的向他猛力攻击,
凶恶的利刃虽然没有击中,
一阵风却把那衰弱的老王倒。
这一下打击有如天崩地裂,
惊动了没有感觉的伊利恩,
冒着火焰的城楼霎时坍下,
那轰然的巨响像一个霹雳,
震聋了皮洛斯的耳朵;瞧!
他的剑还没砍下普里阿摩斯
白发的头颅,却已在空中停住;
像一个涂朱抹彩的暴君,
对自己的行为漠不关心,
他兀立不动。
在一场暴风雨未来以前,
天上往往有片刻的宁寂,
一块块乌云静悬在空中,
狂风悄悄地收起它的声息,
死样的沉默笼罩整个大地;
可是就在这片刻之内,
可怕的雷鸣震裂了天空。
经过暂时的休止,杀人的暴念
重新激起了皮洛斯的精神;
库克罗普斯为战神铸造甲胄,
那巨力的锤击,还不及皮洛斯
流血的剑向普里阿摩斯身上劈下
那样凶狠无情。
去,去,你娼妇一样的命运!
天上的诸神啊!剥去她的权力,
不要让她僭窃神明的宝座;
拆毁她的车轮,把它滚下神山,
直到地狱的深渊。
波洛涅斯 这一段太长啦。
哈姆莱特 它应当跟你的胡子一起到理发匠那儿去一 。念下去吧。他只爱听俚俗的歌曲和淫秽的故事,否则他就要瞌睡的。念下去;下面要讲到赫卡柏了。
伶甲 可是啊!谁看见那蒙脸的王后——
哈姆莱特 “那蒙脸的王后”?
波洛涅斯 那很好;“蒙脸的王后”是很好的句子。
伶甲 满面流泪,在火焰中赤脚奔走,
一块布覆在失去宝冕的头上,
也没有一件蔽体的衣服,
只有在惊惶中抓到的一幅毡巾,
裹住她瘦削而多产的腰身;
谁见了这样伤心惨目的景象,
不要向残酷的命运申申毒詈?
她看见皮洛斯以杀人为戏,
正在把她的丈夫的肢体脔割,
忍不住大放哀声,那凄凉的号叫——
除非人间的哀乐不能感动天庭——
即使天上的星星也会陪她流泪,
假使那时诸神曾在场目击,
他们的心中都要充满悲愤。
波洛涅斯 瞧,他的脸色都变了,他的眼睛里已经含着眼泪!不要念下去了吧。
哈姆莱特 很好,其余的部分等会儿再念给我听吧。大人,请您去找一处好好的地方安顿这班伶人。听着,他们是不可怠慢的,因为他们是这一个时代的缩影;宁可在死后得到一首恶劣的墓铭,不要在生前受他们一场刻毒的讥讽。
波洛涅斯 殿下,我按着他们应得的名分对待他们就是了。
哈姆莱特 嗳哟,朋友,还要客气得多哩!要是照每一个人应得的名分对待他,那么谁逃得了一顿鞭子?照你自己的名誉地位对待他们;他们越是不配受这样的待遇,越可以显出你的谦虚有礼。领他们进去。
波洛涅斯 来,各位朋友。
哈姆莱特 跟他去,朋友们;明天我们要听你们唱一本戏。(波洛涅斯偕众伶下,伶甲独留)听着,老朋友,你会演《贡扎古之死》吗?
伶甲 会演的,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那么我们明天晚上就把它上演。也许我为了必要的理由,要另外写下约莫十几行句子的一段剧词插进去,你能够把它预先背熟吗?
伶甲 可以,殿下。
哈姆莱特 很好。跟着那位老爷去;留心不要取笑他。(伶甲下。向罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞)我的两位朋友,我们今天晚上再见;欢迎你们到艾尔西诺来!
吉尔登斯吞 再会,殿下!(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞同下。)
哈姆莱特 好,上帝和你们同在!现在我只剩一个人了。啊,我是一个多么不中用的蠢才!这一个伶人不过在一本虚构的故事、一场激昂的幻梦之中,却能够使他的灵魂融化在他的意象里,在它的影响之下,他的整个的脸色变成惨白,他的眼中洋溢着热泪,他的神情流露着仓皇,他的声音是这么呜咽凄凉,他的全部动作都表现得和他的意象一致,这不是极其不可思议的吗?而且一点也不为了什么!为了赫卡柏!赫卡柏对他有什么相干,他对赫卡柏又有什么相干,他却要为她流泪?要是他也有了像我所有的那样使人痛心的理由,他将要怎样呢?他一定会让眼泪淹没了舞台,用可怖的字句震裂了听众的耳朵,使有罪的人发狂,使无罪的人惊骇,使愚昧无知的人惊惶失措,使所有的耳目迷乱了它们的功能。可是我,一个糊涂颟顸的家伙,垂头丧气,一天到晚像在做梦似的,忘记了杀父的大仇;虽然一个国王给人家用万恶的手段掠夺了他的权位,杀害了他的最宝贵的生命,我却始终哼不出一句话来。我是一个懦夫吗?谁骂我恶人?谁敲破我的脑壳?谁拔去我的胡子,把它吹在我的脸上?谁扭我的鼻子?谁当面指斥我胡说?谁对我做这种事?嘿!我应该忍受这样的侮辱,因为我是一个没有心肝、逆来顺受的怯汉,否则我早已用这奴才的尸肉,喂肥了满天盘旋的乌鸢了。嗜血的、荒淫的恶贼!狠心的、奸诈的、淫邪的、悖逆的恶贼!啊!复仇!——嗨,我真是个蠢才!我的亲爱的父亲被人谋杀了,鬼神都在鞭策我复仇,我这做儿子的却像一个下流女人似的,只会用空言发发牢骚,学起泼妇骂街的样子来,在我已经是了不得的了!呸!呸!活动起来吧,我的脑筋!我听人家说,犯罪的人在看戏的时候,因为台上表演的巧妙,有时会激动天良,当场供认他们的罪恶;因为暗杀的事情无论干得怎样秘密,总会借着神奇的喉舌泄露出来。我要叫这班伶人在我的叔父面前表演一本跟我的父亲的惨死情节相仿的戏剧,我就在一旁窥察他的神色;我要探视到他的灵魂的深处,要是他稍露惊骇不安之态,我就知道我应该怎么办。我所看见的幽灵也许是魔鬼的化身,借着一个美好的形状出现,魔鬼是有这一种本领的;对于柔弱忧郁的灵魂,他最容易发挥他的力量;也许他看准了我的柔弱和忧郁,才来向我作祟,要把我引诱到沉沦的路上。我要先得到一些比这更切实的证据;凭着这本戏,我可以发掘国王内心的隐秘。

Scene One
A room in the castle.

[Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE, POLONIUS,OPHELIA,ROSENCRANTZ,and GUILDENSTERN]
KING CLAUDIUS
And can you,by no drift of circumstance,
Get from him why he puts on this confusion,
Gratingso harshlyall his days of quiet
With turbulentand dangerous lunacy?
ROCENCRANTZ
He does confesshe feels himself distracted;
But from what cause he will by no means speak.
GUILDENSTERN
Nor do we find him forward to be sounded,
But, with a craftymadness,keeps aloof,
When we would bring him on to some confession
Of his true state.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Did he receive you well?
ROSENCRANTZ
Most like a gentleman.
GUILDENSTERN
But with much forcing of his disposition.
ROSENCRANTZ
Niggardof question;but,of our demands,Most free in his reply.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Did you assay him?
To any pastime?
ROSENCRANTZ
Madam,it so fell out,that certain players
We o>er-raughton the way:of these we told him;
And there did seem in him a kind of joy
To hear of it:they are about the court,
And,as I think,they have already order
This night to play before him.
LORD POLONIUS
>Tis most true:
And he beseech'd me to entreatyour majesties
To hear and see the matter.
KING CLAUDIUS
With all my heart;and it doth much contentme
To hear him so inclined.
Good gentlemen,give him a further edge,
And drive his purpose on to these delights.
ROSENCRANTZ
We shall,my lord.
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
KING CLAUDIUS
Sweet Gertrude,leave us too;
For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
That he,as>twereby accident,may here
Affront Ophelia:
Her father and myself,lawfulespials,
will so bestowourselves that,seeing,unseen,
We may of their encounter frankly judge,
And gather by him,as he is behaved,
If>t be the afflictionof his love or noThat thus he suffers for.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
I shall obey you.
And for your part,Ophelia,I do wish
That your good beauties be the happy cause
of Hamlet's wildness:so shall I hope your virtues
Will bring him to his wontedway again,
To both your honours.
OPHELIA
Madam,I wish it may.
[Exit QUEEN GERTRUDE]
LORD POLONIUS
Ophelia,walk you here.Gracious,so please you,
We will bestow ourselves.
[To OPHELIA]
Read on this book;
That show of such an exercise may colour
Your loneliness.We are oftto blame in this,——
>Tis too much proved——that with devotion'svisage
And piousaction we do sugaro>erThe devil himself.
KING CLAUDIUS
[Aside]O,>tis too true!
How smarta lashthat speech doth give my conscience!
The harlot'scheek,beautiedwith plasteringart,
Is not more ugly to the thing that helps it
Than is my deed to my most painted word:
O heavy burthen!
LORD POLONIUS
I hear him coming:let's withdraw, my lord.
[Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS and POLONINIUS]
[Enter HAMLET]
HAMLET
To be,or not to be:that is the question:
Whether>tis noblerin the mind to suffer
The slingsand arrows of outrageousfortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?To die:to sleep;
No more;and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,>tis a consummation
Devoutlyto be wish'd.To die,to sleep;
To sleep:perchanceto dream:ay,there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled offthis mortal coil,
Must give us pause:there's the respect
That makes calamityof so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scornsof time,
The oppressor's wrong,the proud man's contumely,
The pangsof despisedlove,the law's delay,
The insolenceof office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietusmake
With a bare bodkin?who would fardels bear,
To gruntand sweat under a wearylife,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns,puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowardsof us all;
And thus the nativehueof resolution
Is sickliedo>er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pithand moment
With this regard their currents trun awry,
And lose the name of action.——Soft you now!The fair
Ophelia!!
Nymph,in thy orisons
Be all my sinsremember'd.
OPHELIA
Good my lord,
How does your honour for this many a day?
HAMLET
I humblythank you;well,well,well.
OPHELIA
My lord,I have remembrancesof yours,
That I have longedlong to re-deliver;
I pray you,now receive them.
HAMLET
No,not I;
I never gave you aught.
OPHELIA
My honour'd lord,you know right well you did;
And,with them,words of so sweet breath composed
As made the things more rich:their perfumelost,
Take these again;for to the noble mind
Rich gifts waxpoor when giversprove unkind.
There,my lord.
HAMLET
Ha,ha!are you honest?
OPHELIA
My>lord?
HAMLET
Are you fair?
OPHELIA
What means your lordship?
HAMLET
That if you be honest and fair,your honesty should admit no
discourse to your beauty.
OPHELIA
Could beauty,my lord,have better commercethanwith honesty?
HAMLET
Ay,truly;for the power of beauty will sooner
transform honesty from what it is to a bawdthan the
force of honesty can translate beauty into his
likeness:this was sometime a paradox,but now the
time gives it proof.I did love you once.
OPHELIA
Indeed,my lord,you made me believe so.
HAMLET
You should not have believed me;for virtuecannot
so inoculateour old stockbut we shall relishof
it:I loved you not.
OPHELIA
I was the more deceived.
HAMLET
Get thee to a nunnery:why wouldstthou be a
breederof sinners?I am myself indifferenthonest;
but yet I could accuseme of such things that it
were better my mother had not borneme:I am very
proud,revengeful,ambitious,with more offencesat
my beckthan I have thoughts to put them in,
imagination to give them shape,or time to act them
in.What should such fellowsas I do crawling
between earth and heaven?We are arrantknaves,
all;believe none of us.Go thy ways to a nunnery.
Where's your father?
OPHELIA
At home,my lord.
HAMLET
Let the doors be shut upon him,that he may play the
fool no where but in's own house.Farewell.
OPHELIA
O,help him,you sweet heavens!
HAMLET
If thou dost marry,I>ll give thee this plague.
for
thy dowry:be thou as chaste as ice,as pure as
snow,thou shaltnot escape calumny.Get thee to a
nunnery,go:farewell.Or,if thou wiltneeds
marry,marry a fool;for wise men know well enough
what monstersyou make of them.To a nunnery,go,
and quickly too.Farewell
OPHELIA
O heavenly powers,restorehim!
HAMLET
I have heard of your paintingstoo,well enough;God
has given you one face,and you make yourselves
another:you jig,you amble,and you lisp,and
nick-nameGod's creatures,and make your
wantonness
your ignorance.Go to,I>ll no more on>t;it hathmade me
mad.I say,we will have no more marriages:
those that are married already,all but one,shall
live;the rest shall keep as they are.To a
nunnery,go.
[Exit]
OPHELIA
O,what a noble mind is here o>erthrown!
The courtier's,soldier's,scholar's,eye,tongue,sword;
The expectancyand rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mouldof form,
The observedof all observers,quite,quite down!
And I,of ladies most dejectand wretched,
That suck'dthe honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereignreason,
Like sweet bells jangled,out of tuneand harsh;
That unmatch'dform and feature of blownyouth
Blastedwith ecstasy:O,woeis me,
To have seen what I have seen,see what I see!
[Re-enter KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS]
KING CLAUDIUS
Love!his affections do not that way tend;
Nor what he spake,though it lack'd form a little,
Was not like madness.There's something in his soul,
O>er which his melancholysits on brood;
And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose
Will be some danger:which for to prevent,
I have in quick determination
Thus set it down:he shall with speed to England,
For the demand of our neglected tribute
Haply the seas and countries different
With variable objects shall expel
This something-settled matter in his heart,
Whereonhis brains still beating puts him thus
From fashion of himself.What think you on>t?
LORD POLONIUS
It shall do well:but yet do I believe
The origin and commencementof his grief
Sprungfrom neglected love.How now,Ophelia!
You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said;
We heard it all.My lord,do as you please;
But,if you hold it fit,after the play
Let his queen mother all alone entreat him
To show his grief:let her be round with him;
And I>ll be placed,so please you,in the ear
Of all their conference.If she find him not,
To England send him,or confine him where
Your wisdom best shall think.
KING CLAUDIUS
It shall be so:
Madness in great onesmust not unwatch'd go.


第一场 城堡中一室


国王、王后、波洛涅斯、奥菲利娅、罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。
国王 你们不能用迂回婉转的方法,探出他为什么这样神魂颠倒,让紊乱而危险的疯狂困扰他的安静的生活吗?
罗森格兰兹 他承认他自己有些神经迷惘,可是绝口不肯说为了什么缘故。
吉尔登斯吞 他也不肯虚心接受我们的探问;当我们想要引导他吐露他自己的一些真相的时候,他总是用假作痴呆的神气故意回避。
王后 他对待你们还客气吗?
罗森格兰兹 很有礼貌。
吉尔登斯吞 可是不大自然。
罗森格兰兹 他很吝惜自己的话,可是我们问他话的时候,他回答起来却是毫无拘束。
王后 你们有没有劝诱他找些什么消遣?
罗森格兰兹 娘娘,我们来的时候,刚巧有一班戏子也要到这儿来,给我们赶过了;我们把这消息告诉了他,他听了好像很高兴。现在他们已经到了宫里,我想他已经吩咐他们今晚为他演出了。

波洛涅斯 一点不错;他还叫我来请两位陛下同去看看他们演得怎样哩。
国王 那好极了;我非常高兴听见他在这方面感到兴趣。请你们两位还要更进一步鼓起他的兴味,把他的心思移转到这种娱乐上面。
罗森格兰兹 是,陛下。(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞同下。)
国王 亲爱的乔特鲁德,你也暂时离开我们;因为我们已经暗中差人去唤哈姆莱特到这儿来,让他和奥菲利娅见见面,就像他们偶然相遇一般。她的父亲跟我两人将要权充一下密探,躲在可以看见他们,却不能被他们看见的地方,注意他们会面的情形,从他的行为上判断他的疯病究竟是不是因为恋爱上的苦闷。
王后 我愿意服从您的意旨。奥菲利娅,但愿你的美貌果然是哈姆莱特疯狂的原因;更愿你的美德能够帮助他恢复原状,使你们两人都能安享尊荣。
奥菲利娅 娘娘,但愿如此。(王后下。)
波洛涅斯 奥菲利娅,你在这儿走走。陛下,我们就去躲起来吧。(向奥菲娅)你拿这本书去读,他看见你这样用功,就不会疑心你为什么一个人在这儿了。人们往往用至诚的外表和虔敬的行动,掩饰一颗魔鬼般的内心,这样的例子是太多了。
国王 (旁白)啊,这句话是太真实了!它在我的良心上抽了多么重的一鞭!涂脂抹粉的娼妇的脸,还不及掩藏在虚伪的言辞后面的我的行为更丑恶。难堪的重负啊!
波洛涅斯 我听见他来了;我们退下去吧,陛下。(国王及波洛涅斯下。)
哈姆莱特上。
哈姆莱特 生存还是毁灭,这是一个值得考虑的问题;默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭,或是挺身反抗人世的无涯的苦难,通过斗争把它们扫清,这两种行为,哪一种更高贵?死了;睡着了;什么都完了;要是在这一种睡眠之中,我们心头的创痛,以及其他无数血肉之躯所不能避免的打击,都可以从此消失,那正是我们求之不得的结局。死了;睡着了;睡着了也许还会做梦;嗯,阻碍就在这儿:因为当我们摆脱了这一具朽腐的皮囊以后,在那死的睡眠里,究竟将要做些什么梦,那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。人们甘心久因于患难之中,也就是为了这个缘故;谁愿意忍受人世的鞭挞和讥嘲、压迫者的凌辱、傲慢者的冷眼、被轻蔑的爱情的惨痛、法律的迁延、官吏的横暴和费尽辛勤所换来的小人的鄙视,要是他只要用一柄小小的刀子,就可以清算他自己的一生?谁愿意负着这样的重担,在烦劳的生命的压迫下呻吟流汗,倘不是因为惧怕不可知的死后,惧怕那从来不曾有一个旅人回来过的神秘之国,是它迷惑了我们的意志,使我们宁愿忍受目前的磨折,不敢向我们所不知道的痛苦飞去!这样,重重的顾虑使我们全变成了懦夫,决心的赤热的光彩,被审慎的思维盖上了一层灰色,伟大的事业在这一种考虑之下,也会逆流而退,失去了行动的意义。且慢!美丽的奥菲利娅!——女神,在你的祈祷之中,不要忘记替我忏侮我的罪孽。
奥菲利娅 我的好殿下,您这许多天来贵体安好吗?
哈姆莱特 谢谢你,很好,很好,很好。
奥菲利娅 殿下,我有几件您送给我的纪念品,我早就想把它们还给您;请您现在收回去吧。
哈姆莱特 不,我不要;我从来没有给你什么东西。
奥菲利娅 殿下,我记得很清楚您把它们送给了我,那时候您还向我说了许多甜言蜜语,使这些东西格外显得贵重;现在它们的芳香已经消散,请您拿回去吧,因为在有骨气的人看来,送礼的人要是变了心,礼物虽贵,也会失去了价值。拿去吧,殿下。
哈姆莱特 哈哈!你贞洁吗?
奥菲利娅 殿下!
哈姆莱特 你美丽吗?
奥菲利娅 殿下是什么意思?
哈姆莱特 要是你既贞洁又美丽,那么你的贞洁应该断绝跟你的美丽来往。
奥菲利娅 殿下,难道美丽除了贞洁以外,还有什么更好的伴侣吗?
哈姆莱特 嗯,真的;因为美丽可以使贞洁变成淫荡,贞洁却未必能使美丽受它自己的感化;这句话从前像是怪诞之谈,可是现在时间已经把它证实了。我的确曾经爱过你。
奥菲利娅 真的,殿下,您曾经使我相信您爱我。
哈姆莱特 你当初就不应该相信我,因为美德不能熏陶我们罪恶的本性;我没有爱过你。
奥菲利娅 那么我真是受了骗了。
哈姆莱特 进尼姑庵去吧;为什么你要生一群罪人出来呢?我自己还不算是一个顶坏的人;可是我可以指出我的许多过失,一个人有了那些过失,他的母亲还是不要生下他来的好。我很骄傲,有仇必报,富于野心,我的罪恶是那么多,连我的思想也容纳不下,我的想象也不能给它们形象,甚至于我都没有充分的时间可以把它们实行出来。像我这样的家伙,匍匐于天地之间,有什么用处呢?我们都是些十足的坏人;一个也不要相信我们。进尼姑庵去吧。你的父亲呢?
奥菲利娅 在家里,殿下。
哈姆莱特 把他关起来,让他只好在家里发发傻劲。再会!
奥菲利娅 嗳哟,天哪!救救他!
哈姆莱特 要是你一定要嫁人,我就把这一个咒诅送给你做嫁奁:尽管你像冰一样坚贞,像雪一样纯洁,你还是逃不过谗人的诽谤。进尼姑庵去吧,去;再会!或者要是你必须嫁人的话,就嫁给一个傻瓜吧;因为聪明人都明白你们会叫他们变成怎样的怪物。进尼姑庵去吧,去;越快越好。再会!
奥菲利娅 天上的神明啊,让他清醒过来吧!
哈姆莱特 我也知道你们会怎样涂脂抹粉;上帝给了你们一张脸,你们又替自己另外造了一张。你们烟视媚行,淫声浪气,替上帝造下的生物乱取名字,卖弄你们不懂事的风骚。算了吧,我再也不敢领教了;它已经使我发了狂。我说,我们以后再不要结什么婚了;已经结过婚的,除了一个人以外,都可以让他们活下去;没有结婚的不准再结婚,进尼姑庵去吧,去。(下。)
奥菲利娅 啊,一颗多么高贵的心是这样殒落了!朝臣的眼睛、学者的辩舌、军人的利剑、国家所瞩望的一朵娇花;时流的明镜、人伦的雅范、举世注目的中心,这样无可挽回地殒落了!我是一切妇女中间最伤心而不幸的,我曾经从他音乐一般的盟誓中吮吸芬芳的甘蜜,现在却眼看着他的高贵无上的理智,像一串美妙的银铃失去了谐和的音调,无比的青春美貌,在疯狂中凋谢!啊!我好苦,谁料过去的繁华,变作今朝的泥土!
国王及波洛涅斯重上。
国王 恋爱!他的精神错乱不像是为了恋爱;他说的话虽然有些颠倒,也不像是疯狂。他有些什么心事盘踞在他的灵魂里,我怕它也许会产生危险的结果。为了防止万一,我已经当机立断,决定了一个办法:他必须立刻到英国去,向他们追索延宕未纳的贡物;也许他到海外各国游历一趟以后,时时变换的环境,可以替他排解去这一桩使他神思恍惚的心事。你看怎么样?
波洛涅斯 那很好;可是我相信他的烦闷的根本原因,还是为了恋爱上的失意。啊,奥菲利娅!你不用告诉我们哈姆莱特殿下说些什么话;我们全都听见了。陛下,照你的意思办吧;可是您要是认为可以的话,不妨在戏剧终场以后,让他的母后独自一人跟他在一起,恳求他向她吐露他的心事;她必须很坦白地跟他谈谈,我就找一个所在听他们说些什么。要是她也探听不出他的秘密来,您就叫他到英国去,或者凭着您的高见,把他关禁在一个适当的地方。
国王 就这样吧;大人物的疯狂是不能听其自然的。

mad.I say,we will have no more marriages:
those that are married already,all but one,shall
live;the rest shall keep as they are.To a

[Exit]
OPHELIA
O,what a noble mind is here o>erthrown!
The courtier's,soldier's,scholar's,eye,tongue,sword;
The expectancyand rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mouldof form,
The observedof all observers,quite,quite down!
And I,of ladies most dejectand wretched,
That suck'dthe honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereignreason,
Like sweet bells jangled,out of tuneand harsh;
That unmatch'dform and feature of blownyouth
Blastedwith ecstasy:O,woeis me,
To have seen what I have seen,see what I see!
[Re-enter KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS]
KING CLAUDIUS
Love!his affections do not that way tend;
Nor what he spake,though it lack'd form a little,
Was not like madness.There's something in his soul,
O>er which his melancholysits on brood;
And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose
Will be some danger:which for to prevent,
I have in quick determination
Thus set it down:he shall with speed to England,
For the demand of our neglected tribute
Haply the seas and countries different
With variable objects shall expel
This something-settled matter in his heart,
Whereonhis brains still beating puts him thus
From fashion of himself.What think you on>t?
LORD POLONIUS
It shall do well:but yet do I believe
The origin and commencementof his grief
Sprungfrom neglected love.How now,Ophelia!
You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said;
We heard it all.My lord,do as you please;
But,if you hold it fit,after the play
Let his queen mother all alone entreat him
To show his grief:let her be round with him;
And I>ll be placed,so please you,in the ear
Of all their conference.If she find him not,
To England send him,or confine him where
Your wisdom best shall think.
KING CLAUDIUS
It shall be so:
Madness in great onesmust not unwatch'd go.


第一场 城堡中一室


国王、王后、波洛涅斯、奥菲利娅、罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。
国王 你们不能用迂回婉转的方法,探出他为什么这样神魂颠倒,让紊乱而危险的疯狂困扰他的安静的生活吗?
罗森格兰兹 他承认他自己有些神经迷惘,可是绝口不肯说为了什么缘故。
吉尔登斯吞 他也不肯虚心接受我们的探问;当我们想要引导他吐露他自己的一些真相的时候,他总是用假作痴呆的神气故意回避。
王后 他对待你们还客气吗?
罗森格兰兹 很有礼貌。
吉尔登斯吞 可是不大自然。
罗森格兰兹 他很吝惜自己的话,可是我们问他话的时候,他回答起来却是毫无拘束。
王后 你们有没有劝诱他找些什么消遣?
罗森格兰兹 娘娘,我们来的时候,刚巧有一班戏子也要到这儿来,给我们赶过了;我们把这消息告诉了他,他听了好像很高兴。现在他们已经到了宫里,我想他已经吩咐他们今晚为他演出了。

波洛涅斯 一点不错;他还叫我来请两位陛下同去看看他们演得怎样哩。
国王 那好极了;我非常高兴听见他在这方面感到兴趣。请你们两位还要更进一步鼓起他的兴味,把他的心思移转到这种娱乐上面。
罗森格兰兹 是,陛下。(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞同下。)
国王 亲爱的乔特鲁德,你也暂时离开我们;因为我们已经暗中差人去唤哈姆莱特到这儿来,让他和奥菲利娅见见面,就像他们偶然相遇一般。她的父亲跟我两人将要权充一下密探,躲在可以看见他们,却不能被他们看见的地方,注意他们会面的情形,从他的行为上判断他的疯病究竟是不是因为恋爱上的苦闷。
王后 我愿意服从您的意旨。奥菲利娅,但愿你的美貌果然是哈姆莱特疯狂的原因;更愿你的美德能够帮助他恢复原状,使你们两人都能安享尊荣。
奥菲利娅 娘娘,但愿如此。(王后下。)
波洛涅斯 奥菲利娅,你在这儿走走。陛下,我们就去躲起来吧。(向奥菲娅)你拿这本书去读,他看见你这样用功,就不会疑心你为什么一个人在这儿了。人们往往用至诚的外表和虔敬的行动,掩饰一颗魔鬼般的内心,这样的例子是太多了。
国王 (旁白)啊,这句话是太真实了!它在我的良心上抽了多么重的一鞭!涂脂抹粉的娼妇的脸,还不及掩藏在虚伪的言辞后面的我的行为更丑恶。难堪的重负啊!
波洛涅斯 我听见他来了;我们退下去吧,陛下。(国王及波洛涅斯下。)
哈姆莱特上。
哈姆莱特 生存还是毁灭,这是一个值得考虑的问题;默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭,或是挺身反抗人世的无涯的苦难,通过斗争把它们扫清,这两种行为,哪一种更高贵?死了;睡着了;什么都完了;要是在这一种睡眠之中,我们心头的创痛,以及其他无数血肉之躯所不能避免的打击,都可以从此消失,那正是我们求之不得的结局。死了;睡着了;睡着了也许还会做梦;嗯,阻碍就在这儿:因为当我们摆脱了这一具朽腐的皮囊以后,在那死的睡眠里,究竟将要做些什么梦,那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。人们甘心久因于患难之中,也就是为了这个缘故;谁愿意忍受人世的鞭挞和讥嘲、压迫者的凌辱、傲慢者的冷眼、被轻蔑的爱情的惨痛、法律的迁延、官吏的横暴和费尽辛勤所换来的小人的鄙视,要是他只要用一柄小小的刀子,就可以清算他自己的一生?谁愿意负着这样的重担,在烦劳的生命的压迫下呻吟流汗,倘不是因为惧怕不可知的死后,惧怕那从来不曾有一个旅人回来过的神秘之国,是它迷惑了我们的意志,使我们宁愿忍受目前的磨折,不敢向我们所不知道的痛苦飞去!这样,重重的顾虑使我们全变成了懦夫,决心的赤热的光彩,被审慎的思维盖上了一层灰色,伟大的事业在这一种考虑之下,也会逆流而退,失去了行动的意义。且慢!美丽的奥菲利娅!——女神,在你的祈祷之中,不要忘记替我忏侮我的罪孽。
奥菲利娅 我的好殿下,您这许多天来贵体安好吗?
哈姆莱特 谢谢你,很好,很好,很好。
奥菲利娅 殿下,我有几件您送给我的纪念品,我早就想把它们还给您;请您现在收回去吧。
哈姆莱特 不,我不要;我从来没有给你什么东西。
奥菲利娅 殿下,我记得很清楚您把它们送给了我,那时候您还向我说了许多甜言蜜语,使这些东西格外显得贵重;现在它们的芳香已经消散,请您拿回去吧,因为在有骨气的人看来,送礼的人要是变了心,礼物虽贵,也会失去了价值。拿去吧,殿下。
哈姆莱特 哈哈!你贞洁吗?
奥菲利娅 殿下!
哈姆莱特 你美丽吗?
奥菲利娅 殿下是什么意思?
哈姆莱特 要是你既贞洁又美丽,那么你的贞洁应该断绝跟你的美丽来往。
奥菲利娅 殿下,难道美丽除了贞洁以外,还有什么更好的伴侣吗?
哈姆莱特 嗯,真的;因为美丽可以使贞洁变成淫荡,贞洁却未必能使美丽受它自己的感化;这句话从前像是怪诞之谈,可是现在时间已经把它证实了。我的确曾经爱过你。
奥菲利娅 真的,殿下,您曾经使我相信您爱我。
哈姆莱特 你当初就不应该相信我,因为美德不能熏陶我们罪恶的本性;我没有爱过你。
奥菲利娅 那么我真是受了骗了。
哈姆莱特 进尼姑庵去吧;为什么你要生一群罪人出来呢?我自己还不算是一个顶坏的人;可是我可以指出我的许多过失,一个人有了那些过失,他的母亲还是不要生下他来的好。我很骄傲,有仇必报,富于野心,我的罪恶是那么多,连我的思想也容纳不下,我的想象也不能给它们形象,甚至于我都没有充分的时间可以把它们实行出来。像我这样的家伙,匍匐于天地之间,有什么用处呢?我们都是些十足的坏人;一个也不要相信我们。进尼姑庵去吧。你的父亲呢?
奥菲利娅 在家里,殿下。
哈姆莱特 把他关起来,让他只好在家里发发傻劲。再会!
奥菲利娅 嗳哟,天哪!救救他!
哈姆莱特 要是你一定要嫁人,我就把这一个咒诅送给你做嫁奁:尽管你像冰一样坚贞,像雪一样纯洁,你还是逃不过谗人的诽谤。进尼姑庵去吧,去;再会!或者要是你必须嫁人的话,就嫁给一个傻瓜吧;因为聪明人都明白你们会叫他们变成怎样的怪物。进尼姑庵去吧,去;越快越好。再会!
奥菲利娅 天上的神明啊,让他清醒过来吧!
哈姆莱特 我也知道你们会怎样涂脂抹粉;上帝给了你们一张脸,你们又替自己另外造了一张。你们烟视媚行,淫声浪气,替上帝造下的生物乱取名字,卖弄你们不懂事的风骚。算了吧,我再也不敢领教了;它已经使我发了狂。我说,我们以后再不要结什么婚了;已经结过婚的,除了一个人以外,都可以让他们活下去;没有结婚的不准再结婚,进尼姑庵去吧,去。(下。)
奥菲利娅 啊,一颗多么高贵的心是这样殒落了!朝臣的眼睛、学者的辩舌、军人的利剑、国家所瞩望的一朵娇花;时流的明镜、人伦的雅范、举世注目的中心,这样无可挽回地殒落了!我是一切妇女中间最伤心而不幸的,我曾经从他音乐一般的盟誓中吮吸芬芳的甘蜜,现在却眼看着他的高贵无上的理智,像一串美妙的银铃失去了谐和的音调,无比的青春美貌,在疯狂中凋谢!啊!我好苦,谁料过去的繁华,变作今朝的泥土!
国王及波洛涅斯重上。
国王 恋爱!他的精神错乱不像是为了恋爱;他说的话虽然有些颠倒,也不像是疯狂。他有些什么心事盘踞在他的灵魂里,我怕它也许会产生危险的结果。为了防止万一,我已经当机立断,决定了一个办法:他必须立刻到英国去,向他们追索延宕未纳的贡物;也许他到海外各国游历一趟以后,时时变换的环境,可以替他排解去这一桩使他神思恍惚的心事。你看怎么样?
波洛涅斯 那很好;可是我相信他的烦闷的根本原因,还是为了恋爱上的失意。啊,奥菲利娅!你不用告诉我们哈姆莱特殿下说些什么话;我们全都听见了。陛下,照你的意思办吧;可是您要是认为可以的话,不妨在戏剧终场以后,让他的母后独自一人跟他在一起,恳求他向她吐露他的心事;她必须很坦白地跟他谈谈,我就找一个所在听他们说些什么。要是她也探听不出他的秘密来,您就叫他到英国去,或者凭着您的高见,把他关禁在一个适当的地方。
国王 就这样吧;大人物的疯狂是不能听其自然的。

Scene Two
A hall in the castle.

[Enter HAMLET and Players]
HAMLET
Speak the speech,I pray you,as I pronouncedit to
you,trippinglyon the tongue:but if you mouth it,
as many of your players do,I had as lief the
town-crierspoke my lines.Nor do not saw the air too much
with your hand,
thus,but use all gently;
for in the very torrent,tempest,and,as I may say,
the whirlwindof passion,you must acquire and beget
a temperancethat may give it smoothness.O,it
offends me to the soul to hear a robustious
periwig-patedfellow tear a passion to tatters,to
very rags,to split the ears of the groundlings,who
for the most part are capable of nothing but
inexplicabledumbshowsand noise:I would have such
a fellow whipped for o>erdoing Termagant;it
out-herods Herod:pray you,avoid it.
First Player
I warrantyour honour.
HAMLET
Be not too tameneither,but let your own discretion
be your tutor:suit the action to the word,the
word to the action;with this special o>erstepnot
the modestyof nature:for any thing so overdone is
from the purpose of playing,whose end,both at the
first and now,was and is,to hold,as>twere,the
mirror up to nature;to show virtue her own feature,
scornher own image,and the very age and body of
the time his form and pressure.Now this overdone,
or come tardyoff,though it make the unskilful
laugh,cannot but make the judiciousgrieve;the
censureof the which one must in your allowance
o>erweigh a whole theatre of others.O,there be
players that I have seen play,and heard others
praise,and that highly,not to speak it profanely,
that,neither having the accent of Christians nor
the gaitof Christian,pagan,nor man,have so
struttedand bellowedthat I have thought some of
nature's journeymenhad made men and not made them
well,they imitatedhumanityso abominably.
First Player
I hope we have reformed that indifferentlywith us,
sir.
HAMLET
O,reform it altogether.And let those that play
your clownsspeak no more than is set down for them;
for there be of them that will themselves laugh,to
set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh
too;though,in the mean time,some necessary
question of the play be then to be considered:
that's villanous,and shows a most pitiful ambition
in the fool that uses it.Go,make you ready.
[Exeunt Players]
[Enter POLONIUS,ROSENCRANTZ,and GUILDENSTERN]
How now,my lord!I will the king hear this piece of work?
LORD POLONIUS
And the queen too,and that presently.
HAMLET
Bid the Players make haste.
[Exit POLONIUS]
Will you two help to hastenthem?
ROSENCRANTZ
We will,my lord.
GUILDENSTERN
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
HAMLET
What ho!Horatio!
[Enter HORATIO]
HORATIO
Here,sweet lord,at your service.
HAMLET
Horatio,thou art e>enas just a man
As e>ermy conversation coped withal.
HORATIO
O,my dear lord,——
HAMLET
Nay,do not think I flatter;
For what advancementmay I hope from thee
That no revenuehast but thy good spirits,
To feed and clothethee?Why should the poor be flatter'd?
No,let the candiedtongue lickabsurd pomp,
And crookthe pregnanthingesof the knee
Where thriftmay follow fawning.Dost thou hear?
Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice
And could of men distinguish,her election
Hath seal'd thee for herself;for thou hast been
As one,in suffering all,that suffers nothing,
A man that fortune's buffetsand rewards
Hast ta>en with equal thanks:and blestare those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled,
That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger
To sound what stop she please.Give me that man
That is not passion's slave,and I will wear him
In my heart's core,ay,in my heart of heart,
As I do thee.——Something too much Of this.——
There is a play to-night before the king;
One scene of it comes near the circumstance
Which I have told thee of my father's death:
I prithee,when thou seestthat act afoot,
Even with the very comment of thy soul
Observe mine uncle:if his occultedguilt
Do not itself unkennelin one speech,
It is a damned ghost that we have seen,
And my imaginations are as foul
As Vulcan'sstithy.Give him heedfulnote;
For I mine eyes will rivetto his face,
And after we will both our judgments join
In censureof his seeming.
HORATIO
Well,my lord:
If he steal aughtthe whilstthis play is playing,
And'scapedetecting,I will pay the theft.
HAMLET
They are coming to the play;I must be idle:
Get you a place.
[Danish march.A flourish.Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,POLONIUS,OPHELIA,ROSENCRANTZ,GUILDENSTERN,and others]
KING CLAUDIUS
How faresour cousin Hamlet?
HAMLET
Excellent,i>faith;Of the chameleon'sdish:I eat
the air,promise-crammed:you cannot feed caponsso.
KING CLAUDIUS
I have nothing with this answer,Hamlet;these wordsare not mine.
HAMLET
NO,nor mine now.
[To POLONIUS]
My lord,you played once i>the university,you say?
LORD POLONIUS
That did I,my lord;and was accounteda good actor.
HAMLET
What did you enact?
LORD POLONIUS
I did enact Julius Caesar:I was killed i>the
Capitol;Brutuskilled me.
HAMLET
It was a brutepart of him to kill so capitala calf
there.Be the players ready?
ROSENCRANTZ
Ay,my lord;they stay upon your patience.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Come hither,my dear Hamlet,sit by me.
HAMLET
No,good mother,here's metal more attractive.
LORD POLONIUS
[TO KING CLAUDIUS]O,ho!do you mark that?
HAMLET
Lady,shall I lie in your lap?
[Lying down at OPHELIA's feet]
OPHELIA
No,my lord.
HAMLET
I mean,my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA
I think nothing,my lord
HAMLET
That's a fair thought to lie between maids>legs.
OPHELIA
What is,my lord?
HAMLET
Nothing.
OPHELIA
You are merry,my lord.
HAMLET
Who,I?
OPHELIA
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
O God,your only jig-maker.What should a man do
but be merry?for,look you,how cheerfullymy
mother looks,and my father died within these two hours.
OPHELIA
Nay,>tis twice two months,my lord.
HAMLET
So long?Nay then,let the devil wear black,for
I>ll have a suit of sables.O heavens!die two
months ago,and not forgotten yet?Then there's
hope a great man's memory may outlivehis life half
a year:but,by>r lady,he must build churches,
then;or else shall he suffer not thinking on,with
the hobby-horse,whose epitaphis>FOr,O,for,O,
the hobby-horse is forgot.>
Hautboysplay.The dumb-showenters
[Enter a King and a Queen very lovingly;the Queen
embracinghim,and he her.She kneels,and makes show of
protestationunto him.He takes her up,and declineshis
head upon her neck:lays him down upon a bankof flowers:
she,seeing him asleep,leaves him.Anoncomes in a fellow,
takes off his crown,kisses it,and pourspoison in the King's
ears,and exit.The Queen returns;finds the King dead,and
makes passionateaction.The Poisoner,with some two or
three Mutes,comes in again,seeming to lamentwith her.
The dead body is carried away.The Poisoner wooesthe Queen
with gifts:she seems loathand unwilling awhile,but in the
end accepts his love]
[Exeunt]
OPHELIA
What means this,my lord?
HAMLET
Marry,this is michingmallecho;it means mischief.
OPHELIA
Belikethis show importsthe argumentof the play.
[Enter Prologue]
HAMLET
We shall know by this felloW:the players cannot
keep counsel;they>ll tell all.
OPHELIA
Will he tell us what this show meant?
HAMLET
Ay,or any show that you>ll show him:be not you
ashamed to show,he>ll not shame to tell you what it means.
OPHELIA
You are naught,you are naught:I>ll mark the play.
Prologue
For us,and for our tragedy,
Here stooping to your clemency,We beg your hearing patiently.
[Exit]
HAMLET
Is this a prologue,or the posyof ring?
OPHELIA
>Tis brief,my lord.
HAMLET
As woman's love.
[Enter two Players,King and Queen]
Player King
Full thirty times hath Phoebus>cartgone round
Neptune'ssalt wash and Tellus>orbed ground,
And thirty dozen moons with borrow'd sheen
About the world have times twelve thirties been,
Since love our hearts and Hymendid our hands,
Unite commutualin most sacredbands
Player Queen
So many journeys may the sun and moon
Make us again count o>er erelove be done!
But,woeis me,you are so sick of late,
So far from cheer and from your former state,
That I distrustyou.Yet,though I distrust,
Discomfortyou,my lord,it nothing must:
FOr women's fear and love holds quantity;
In neither aught,or in extremity.
Now,what my love is,proof hath made you know;
And as my love is sized,my fear is so:
Where love is great,the littlest doubts are fear;
Where little fears grow great,great love grows there.
Player King
>Faith,I must leave thee,love,and shortly too;
My operantpowers their functions leave to do:
And thou shaltlive in this fair world behind,
Honour'd,beloved;and haplyone as kind
For husband shalt thou——
Player Queen
O,confound the rest!
Such love must needs be treasonin my breast:
In second husband let me be accurst!
None wed the second but who kill'd the first.
HAMLET
[Aside] Wormwood,wormwood.
Player Queen
The instances that second marriage move
Are base respects of thrift,but none of love:
A second time I kill my husband dead,
When second husband kisses me in bed.
Player King
I do believe you think what now you speak;
But what we do determine oft we break.
Purpose is but the slave to memory,
Of violent birth,but poor validity;
Which now,like fruit unripe,sticks on the tree;
But fall,unshaken,when they mellowbe.
Most necessary>tis that we forget
To pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt:
What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending,doth the purpose lose.
The violenceof either grief or joy
Their own enactureswith themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels,grief doth most lament;
Grief joys,joy grieves,on slender accident.
This world is not for aye,nor>tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For>tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune,or else fortune love.
The great man down,you mark his favouriteflies;
The poor advanced makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollowfriend doth try,
Directly seasonshim his enemy.
But,orderlyto end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contraryrun
That our devicesstill are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours,their ends none of our own:
So think thou wiltno second husband wed;
But die thy thoughts when thy first lordis dead.
Player Queen
Nor earth to me give food,nor heaven light!
Sportand repose lock from me day and night!
To desperation turn my trust and hope!
An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope!
Each opposite that blanksthe face of joy
Meet what I would have well and it destroy!
Both here and hencepursueme lasting strife,
If,once a widow,ever I be wife!
HAMLET
If she should break it now!
Player King
>Tis deeply sworn .Sweet,leave me here awhile;
My spirits grow dull,and fainI would beguile
The tediousday with sleep.
[Sleeps]
Player Queen
Sleep rockthybrain,
And never come mischancebetween us twain!
[Exit]
HAMLET
Madam,how like you this play?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
The lady proteststoo much,methinks.
HAMLET
O,but she>ll keep her word.
KING CLAUDIUS
Have you heard the argument?Is there no offencein>t?
HAMLET
No,no,they do but jest,poison in jest;no offence
i>theworld.
KING CLAUDIUS
What do you call the play?
HAMLET
The Mouse-trap.Marry,how?Tropically.This play
Is the image of a murder done in Vienna:Gonzago is
the duke's name;his wife,Baptista:you shall see
anon;>tis a knavishpiece of work:but what o>
that?your majesty and we that have free souls,it
touches us not:let the galledjadewince,our
withersare unwrung.
[Enter LUCIANUS]
This is one Lucianus,nephewto the king.
OPHELIA
You are as good as a chorus,my lord.
HAMLET
I could interpretbetween you and your love,if I
could see the puppetsdallying.
OPHELIA
You are keen,my lord,you are keen.
HAMLET
It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge.
OPHELIA
Still better,and worse.
HAMLET
So you must take your husbands.Begin,murderer;
pox,leave thy damnablefaces,and begin Come:
>the croakingravendoth bellowfor revenge
LUCIANUS
Thoughts black,hands apt,drugs fit,and time agreeing;
Confederate season,else no creature seeing;
Thou mixture rank,of midnight weeds collected,
With Hecate'sbanthrice blasted,thrice infected,
Thy natural magic and direproperty,
On wholesomelife usurpimmediately
[Poursthe poison into the sleeper's ears]
HAMLET
He posons him i>the garden for'sestate.His
name's Gonzago:the story is extant,and writin
choiceItalian:you shall see anonhow the murderer
gets the love of Gonzago's wife.
OPHELIA
The king rises.
HAMLET
What,frighted with false fire!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
How faresmy lord?
LORD POLONIUS
Give o>erthe play.
KING CLAUDIUS
Give me some light:away!
All
Lights,lights,lights!
[Exeunt all but HAMLET and HORATIO]
HAMLET
Why,let the strickendeer go weep,
The hartungalledplay;
For some must watch,while some must sleep:
So runs the world away.
Would not this,sir,and a forest of feathers——if
the rest of my fortunes turn Turk with me——with two
Provincial roses on my razedshoes,get me a fellowship in a
cry of play,sir?
HORATIO
Half a share.
HAMLET
A whole one,I.
For thou dost know O Damon dear,
This realm dismantledwas
Of Jovehimself;and now reignshere
A very,very——pajock.
HORATIO
You might have rhymed.
HAMLET
O good Horatio,I>ll take the ghost's word for a
thousand pound.Didstperceive?
HORATIO
Very well,my lord.
HAMLET
Upon the talk of the poisoning?
HORATIO
I did very well note him.
HAMLET
Ah,ha!Come,some music!come,the recorders!
For if the king like not the comedy,
Why then,belike,he likes it not,perdy.
Come,some music!
[Re-enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
GUILDENSTERN
Good my lord,vouchsafeme a word with you.
HAMLET
Sir,a whole history.
GUILDENSTERN
The king,sir,——
HAMLET
Ay,sir,what of him?
GUILDENSTERN
Is in his retirementmarvellousdistempered.
HAMLET
With drink,sir?
GUILDENSTERN
No,my lord,rather with choler.
HAMLET
Your wisdom should show itself more richer to
signifythis to his doctor;for,for me to put him
to his purgationwould perhaps plungeghim into far
more choler.
GUILDENSTERN
Good my lord,put your discourse into some frame and
start not so wildly from my affair.
HAMLET
I am tame,sir:pronounce.
GUILDENSTERN
The queen,your mother,in most great afflictionof
spirit,hath sent me to you.
HAMLET
You are welcome.
GUILDENSTERN
Nay,good my lord,this courtesy is not of the right
breed.If it shall please you to make me a
wholesomeanswer,I will do your mother's
commandment:if not,your pardon and my return
shall be the end of my business.
HAMLET
Sir,I cannot.
GUILDENSTERN
What,my lord?
HAMLET
Make yor a wholesome answer;my wit'sdiseased:but,
sir,such answer as I can make,you shall command;
or,rather,as you say,my mother:thereforeno
more,but to the matter:my mother,you say,——
ROSENCRANTZ
Then thus she says;your behavior hath struck her
into amazement and admiration.
HAMLET
O wonderful son,that can so astonish a mother!But
is there no sequelat the heelsof this mother's
admiration?Impart.
ROSENCRANTZ
She desires to speak with you in her closet,ereyou
go to bed.
HAMLET
We shall obey,were she ten times our mother.Have
you any further trade with us?
ROSENCRANTZ
My lord,you once did love me.
HAMLET
So I do still,by these pickers and stealers.
ROSENCRANTZ
Good my lord,what is your cause of distemper?you
do,surely,barthe door upon your own liberty,if
you denyyour griefs to your friend.
HAMLET
Sir,I lack advancement.
ROSENCRANTZ
How can that be,when you have the voice of the king
himself for your successionin Denmark?
HAMLET
Ay,but sir,>While the grass grows,>——the proverb
is something musty.
[Re-enter Players with recorders]
O,the recorders!let me see one.To withdrawwith
you:——why do you go about to recover the wind of me,
as if you would drive me into a toil?
GUILDENSTERN
O,my lord,if my duty be too bold,my love is too
unmannerly.
HAMLET
I do not well understand that.Will you play upon
this pipe?
GUILDENSTERN
My lord,I cannot.
HAMLET
I pray you.
GUILDENSTERN
bolieve me,I cannot.
HAMLET
I do beseechyou.
GUILDENSTERN
I know no touch of it,my lord.
HAMLET
>Tis as easy as lying:governthese ventageswith
your lingers and thumb,give it breath with your
mouth,and it will discoursemost eloquentmusic.
Look you,these are the stops.
GUILDENSTERN
But these cannot I command to any utteranceof
harmony;I have not the skill.
HAMLET
Why,look you now,how unworthy a thing you make of
me!You would play upon me;you would seem to know
my stops;you would pluckout the heart of my
mystery;you would sound me from my lowest note to
the top of my compass:and there is much music,
excellent voice,in this little organ;yet cannot
you make it speak.'sblood,do you think I am
easier to be played on than a pipe?Call me what
instrument you will,though you can fretme,yet you
cannot play upon me.
[Enter POLONIUS]
God bless you,sir!
LORD POLONIUS
My lord,the queen would speak with you,and
presently.
HAMLET
Do you see yondercloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
LORD POLONIUS
By the mass,and >tis like a camel,indeed.
HAMLET
Methinksit is like a weasel.
LORD POLONIUS
It is backed like a weasel.
HAMLET
Or like a whale?
LORD POLONIUS
Very like a whale.
HAMLET
Then I will come to my mother by and by.They fool
me to the top of my bent.I will come by and by.
LORD POLONIUS
I will say so.
HAMLET
By and by is easily said.
[Exit POLONIUS]
Leave me,friends.
[Exeunt all but HAMLET]
Tisnow the very withchingtime of night,
When churchyardsyawnand hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world:now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quaketo look on.Soft!now to my mother.
O heart,lose not thy nature;let not ever
The soul of Neroenter this firmbosom:
Let me be cruel,not unnatural:
I will speak daggers to her,but use none;
My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites;
How in my words soevershe be shent,
To give them seals never,my soul,consent!


第二场 城堡中的厅堂


哈姆莱特及若干伶人上。
哈姆莱特 请你念这段剧词的时候,要照我刚才读给你听的那样子,一个字一个字打舌头上很轻快地吐出来;要是你也像多数的伶人们一样,只会拉开了喉咙嘶叫,那么我宁愿叫那宣布告示的公差念我这几行词句。也不要老是把你的手在空中这么摇挥;一切动作都要温文,因为就是在洪水暴风一样的感情激发之中,你也必须取得一种节制,免得流于过火。啊!我顶不愿意听见一个披着满头假发的家伙在台上乱嚷乱叫,把一段感情片片撕碎,让那些只爱热闹的低级观众听了出神,他们中间的大部分是除了欣赏一些莫名其妙的手势以外,什么都不懂。我可以把这种家伙抓起来抽一顿鞭子,因为他把妥玛刚特形容过分,希律王的凶暴也要对他甘拜下风。请你留心避免才好。
伶甲 我留心着就是了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 可是太平淡了也不对,你应该接受你自己的常识的指导,把动作和言语互相配合起来;特别要注意到这一点,你不能越过自然的常道;因为任何过分的表现都是和演剧的原意相反的,自有戏剧以来,它的目的始终是反映自然,显示善恶的本来面目,给它的时代看一看它自己演变发展的模型。要是表演得过分了或者太懈怠了,虽然可以博外行的观众一笑,明眼之士却要因此而皱眉;你必须看重这样一个卓识者的批评甚于满场观众盲目的毁誉。啊!我曾经看见有几个伶人演戏,而且也听见有人把他们极口捧场,说一句比喻不伦的话,他们既不会说基督徒的语言,又不会学着基督徒、异教徒或者一般人的样子走路,瞧他们在台上大摇大摆,使劲叫喊的样子,我心里就想一定是什么造化的雇工把他们造了下来:造得这样拙劣,以至于全然失去了人类的面目。
伶甲 我希望我们在这方面已经有了相当的纠正了。
哈姆莱特 啊!你们必须彻底纠正这一种弊病。还有你们那些扮演小丑的,除了剧本上专为他们写下的台词以外,不要让他们临时编造一些话加上去。往往有许多小丑爱用自己的笑声,引起台下一些无知的观众的哄笑,虽然那时候全场的注意力应当集中于其他更重要的问题上;这种行为是不可恕的,它表示出那丑角的可鄙的野心。去,准备起来吧。(伶人等同下。)
波洛涅斯、罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。
哈姆莱特 啊,大人,王上愿意来听这一本戏吗?
波洛涅斯 他跟娘娘都就要来了。
哈姆莱特 叫那些戏子们赶紧点儿。(波洛涅斯下)你们两人也去帮着催催他们。
罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞 是,殿下。 (罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞下)
哈姆莱特 喂!霍拉旭!
霍拉旭上。
霍拉旭 有,殿下。
哈姆莱特 霍拉旭,你是我所交结的人们中间最正直的一个人。
霍拉旭 啊,殿下!——
哈姆莱特 不,不要以为我在恭维了你;你除了你的善良的精神以外,身无长物,我恭维了你又有什么好处呢?为什么要向穷人恭维?不,让蜜糖一样的嘴唇去吮舐愚妄的荣华,在有利可图的所在屈下他们生财有道的膝盖来吧。听着。自从我能够辨别是非、察择贤愚以后,你就是我灵魂里选中的一个人,因为你虽然经历一切的颠沛,却不曾受到一点伤害,命运的虐待和恩宠,你都是受之泰然;能够把感情和理智调整得那么适当,命运不能把他玩弄于指掌之间,那样的人是有福的。给我一个不为感情所奴役的人,我愿意把他珍藏在我的心坎,我的灵魂的深处,正像我对你一样。这些话现在也不必多说了。今晚我们要在国王面前演一出戏,其中有一场的情节跟我告诉过你的我的父亲的死状颇相仿佛;当那幕戏正在串演的时候,我要请你集中你的全副精神,注视我的叔父,要是他在听到了那一段戏词以后,他的隐藏的罪恶还是不露出一丝痕迹来,那么我们所看见的那个鬼魂一定是个恶魔,我的幻想也就像铁匠的砧石那样黑漆一团了。留心看他;我也要把我的眼睛看定他的脸上;过后我们再把各人观察的结果综合起来,给他下一个判断。
霍拉旭 很好,殿下;在演这出戏的时候,要是他在容色举止之间,有什么地方逃过了我们的注意,请您唯我是问。
哈姆莱特 他们来看戏了;我必须装出一副糊涂样子。你去拣一个地方坐下。
奏丹麦进行曲,喇叭奏花腔。国王、王后、波洛涅斯、奥菲利娅、罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞及余人等上。
国王 你过得好吗,哈姆莱特贤侄?
哈姆莱特 很好,好极了;我过的是变色蜥蝎的生活,整天吃空气,肚子让甜言蜜语塞满了;这可不是你们填鸭子的办法。
国王 你这种话真是答非所问,哈姆莱特;我不是那个意思。
哈姆莱特 不,我现在也没有那个意恩。(向波洛涅斯)大人,您说您在大学里念书的时候,曾经演过一回戏吗?
波洛涅斯 是的,殿下,他们都称赞我是一个很好的演员哩。
哈姆莱特 您扮演什么角色呢?
波洛涅斯 我扮的是裘力斯·凯撒;勃鲁托斯在朱庇特神殿里把我杀死。
哈姆莱特 他在神殿里杀死了那么好的一头小牛,真太残忍了。那班戏子已经预备好了吗?
罗森格兰兹 是,殿下,我们在等候您的旨意。
王后 过来,我的好哈姆莱特,坐在我的旁边。
哈姆莱特 不,好妈妈,这儿有一个更迷人的东西哩。
波洛涅斯 (向国王)啊哈!您看见吗?
哈姆莱特 小姐,我可以睡在您的怀里吗?
奥菲利娅 不,殿下。
哈姆莱特 我的意思是说,我可以把我的头枕在您的膝上吗?
奥菲利娅 嗯,殿下。
哈姆莱特 您以为我在转着下流的念头吗?
奥菲利妞 我没有想到,殿下。
哈姆莱特 睡在姑娘大腿的中间,想起来倒是很有趣的。
奥菲利娅 什么,殿下?
哈姆莱特 没有什么。
奥菲利娅 您在开玩笑哩,殿下。
哈姆莱特 谁,我吗?
奥菲利娅 嗯,殿下。
哈姆莱特 上帝啊!要说玩笑,那就得属我了。一个人为什么不说说笑笑呢?你瞧,我的母亲多么高兴,我的父亲还不过死了两个钟头。
奥菲利娅 不,已经四个月了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 这么久了吧?嗳哟,那么让魔鬼去穿孝服吧,我可要去做一身貂皮的新衣啦。天啊!死了两个月,还没有把他忘记吗?那么也许一个大人物死了以后,他的记忆还可以保持半年之久;可是凭着圣母起誓,他必须造下几所教堂,否则他就要跟那被遗弃的本马一样,没有人再会想念他了。
高音笛奏乐。哑剧登场。
一国王及一王后上,状极亲热,互相拥抱。后跪地,向王作宣誓状,王扶后起,俯首后颈上。王就花坪上睡下;后见王睡熟离去。另一人上,自王头上去冠,吻冠,注毒药于王耳,下。后重上,见王死,作哀恸状。下毒者率其他二、三人重上,佯作陪后悲哭状。从者舁王尸下。下毒者以礼物赠后,向其乞爱;后先作憎恶不愿状,卒允其请。同下。
奥菲利娅 这是什么意思,殿下?
哈姆莱特 呃,这是阴谋诡计、不干好事的意思。
奥菲利娅 大概这一场哑剧就是全剧的本事了。致开场词者上。
哈姆莱特 这家伙可以告诉我们一切;演戏的都不能保守秘密,他们什么话都会说出来。
奥菲利娅 他也会给我们解释方才那场哑剧有什么奥妙吗?
哈姆莱特 是啊;这还不算,只要你做给他看什么,他也能给你解释什么;只要你做出来不害臊,他解释起来也决不害臊。
奥菲利娅 殿下真是淘气,真是淘气。我还是看戏吧。
开场词
这悲剧要是演不好,
要请各位原谅指教,
小的在这厢有礼了。(致开场词者下。)
哈姆莱特 这算开场词呢,还是指环上的诗铭?
奥菲利娅 它很短,殿下。
哈姆莱特 正像女人的爱情一样。
二伶人扮国王、王后上。
伶王 日轮已经盘绕三十春秋,
那茫茫海水和滚滚地球。
月亮吐耀着借来的晶光,
三百六十回向大地环航,
自从爱把我们缔结良姻,
许门替我们证下了鸳盟。
伶后 愿日月继续他们的周游,
让我们再厮守三十春秋!
可是唉,你近来这样多病
郁郁寡欢,失去旧时高兴
好教我满心里为你忧惧。
可是,我的主,你不必疑虑;女人的忧伤像爱情一样,
不是大少,就是超过分量;你知道我爱你是多么深,
所以才会有如此的忧心。
越是相爱,越是挂肚牵胸;不这样哪显得你我情浓?
伶王 爱人,我不久必须离开你,
我的全身将要失去生机;
留下你在这繁华的世界
安享尊荣,受人们的敬爱:
也许再嫁一位如意郎君——
伶后 啊!我断不是那样薄情人;
我倘忘旧迎新,难邀天恕,
再嫁的除非是杀夫淫妇。
哈姆莱特 (旁白)苦恼,苦恼!
伶后 妇人失节大半贪慕荣华,
多情女子决不另抱琵琶;
我要是与他人共枕同衾,
怎么对得起地下的先灵!
伶王 我相信你的话发自心田,
可是我们往往自食前言。
志愿不过是记忆的奴隶,
总是有始无终,虎头蛇尾,
像未熟的果子密布树梢,
一朝红烂就会离去枝条。
我们对自己的所负的债务,
最好把它丢在脑后不顾;
一时的热情中发下誓愿,
心冷了,那意志也随云散。
过分的喜乐,剧烈的哀伤,
反会毁害了感惰的本常。
人世间的哀乐变幻无端,
痛哭转瞬早变成了狂欢。
世界也会有毁灭的一天,
何怪爱情要随境遇变迁;
有谁能解答这一个哑谜,
是境由爱造?是爱逐境移?
失财势的伟人举目无亲;
走时运的穷酸仇敌逢迎。
这炎凉的世态古今一辙:
富有的门庭挤满了宾客;
要是你在穷途向人求助,
即使知交也要情同陌路。
把我们的谈话拉回本题,
意志命运往往背道而驰,
决心到最后会全部推倒,
事实的结果总难符预料。
你以为你自己不会再嫁,
只怕我一死你就要变卦。
伶后 地不要养我,天不要亮我!
昼不得游乐,夜不得安卧!
毁灭了我的希望和信心;
铁锁囚门把我监禁终身!
每一种恼人的飞来横逆,
把我一重重的心愿摧折!
我倘死了丈夫再作新人,
让我生前死后永陷沉沦!
哈姆莱特 要是她现在背了誓!
伶王 难为你发这样重的誓愿。
爱人,你且去;我神思昏倦,
想要小睡片刻。(睡。)
伶后 愿你安睡;
上天保佑我俩永远灾悔!(下。)
哈姆莱特 母亲,您觉得这出戏怎样?
王后 我觉得那女人在表白心迹的时候,说话过火了一些。
哈姆莱特 啊,可是她会守约的。
国王 这本戏是怎么一个情节?里面没有什么要不得的地方吗?
哈姆莱特 不,不,他们不过开玩笑毒死了一个人;没有什么要不得的。
国王 戏名叫什么?
哈姆莱特 《捕鼠机》。呃,怎么?这是一个象征的名字。戏中的故事影射着维也纳的一件谋杀案。贡扎古是那公爵的名字;他的妻子叫做白普蒂丝姐。您看下去就知道是怎么一回事啦。这是个很恶劣的作品,可是那有什么关系?它不会对您陛下跟我们这些灵魂清白的人有什么相干;让那有毛病的马儿去惊跳退缩吧,我们的肩背都是好好的。
一伶人扮琉西安纳斯上。

哈姆莱特 这个人叫做琉西安纳斯,是那国王的侄子。
奥菲利娅 您很会解释剧情,殿下。
哈姆莱特 要是我看见傀儡戏搬演您跟您爱人的故事,我也会替你们解释的。
奥菲利娅 您的嘴真厉害,殿下,您的嘴真厉害。
哈姆莱特 我要是真厉害起来,你非得哼哼不可。
奥菲利娅 说好就好,说糟就糟。
哈姆莱特 女人嫁丈夫也是一样。动手吧,凶手!混账东西,别扮鬼脸了,动手吧!来;哇哇的乌鸦发出复仇的啼声。
琉西安纳斯
黑心快手,遇到妙药良机;
趁着没人看见事不宜迟。
你夜半采来的毒草炼成,
赫卡忒的咒语念上三巡,
赶快发挥你凶恶的魔力,
让他的生命速归于幻灭。(以毒药注入睡者耳中。)
哈姆莱特 他为了觊觎权位,在花园里把他毒死。他的名字叫贡扎古;那故事原文还存在,是用很好的意大利文写成的。底下就要做到那凶手怎样得到贡扎古的妻子的爱了。
奥菲利娅 王上站起来了!
哈姆莱特 什么!给一响空熗吓怕了吗?
王后 陛下怎么样啦?
波洛涅斯 不要演下去了!
国王 给我点起火把来!去!
众人 火把!火把!火把!(除哈姆莱特、霍拉旭外均下。)
哈姆莱特 嗨,让那中箭的母鹿掉泪,
没有伤的公鹿自去游玩;
有的人失眠,有的人酣睡,
世界就是这样循环轮转。
老兄,要是我的命运跟我作起对来,凭着我这念词的本领,头上插上满头的羽毛,开缝的靴子上再缀上两朵绢花,你想我能不能在戏班子里插足?
霍拉旭 也许他们可以让您领半额包银。
哈姆莱特 我可要领全额的。
因为你知道,亲爱的朋友,
这一个荒凉破碎的国王
原本是乔武统治的雄邦,
而今王位却坐着——孔雀。
霍拉旭 您该押韵才是。
哈姆莱特 啊,好霍拉旭!那鬼魂真的没有骗我。你看见吗?
霍拉旭 看见的,殿下。
哈姆莱特 在那演戏的一提到毒药的时候?
霍拉旭 我看得他很清楚。
哈姆莱特 啊哈!来,奏乐!来,那吹笛子的呢?
要是国王不爱这出喜剧,
那么他多半是不能赏识。
来,奏乐!
罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞重上。
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,允许我跟您说句话。
哈姆莱特 好,你对我讲全部历史都可以。
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,王上——
哈姆莱特 嗯,王上怎么样?
吉尔登斯吞 他回去以后,非常不舒服。
哈姆莱特 喝醉了吗?
吉尔登斯吞 不,殿下,他在发脾气。
哈姆莱特 你应该把这件事告诉他的医生,才算你的聪明因为叫我去替他诊视,恐怕反而更会激动他的脾气的。
吉尔登斯吞 好殿下,请您说话检点些,别这样拉扯开去。
哈姆莱特 好,我是听话的,你说吧。
吉尔登斯吞 您的母后心里很难过,所以叫我来。
哈姆莱特 欢迎得很。
吉尔登斯吞 不,殿下,这一种礼貌是用不着的。要是您愿意给我一个好好的回答,我就把您母亲的意旨向您传达;不然的话,请您原谅我,让我就这么回去,我的事情就算完了。
哈姆莱特 我不能。
吉尔登斯吞 您不能什么,殿下?
哈姆莱特 我不能给你一个好好的回答,因为我的脑子已经坏了;可是我所能够给你的回答,你——我应该说我的母亲——可以要多少有多少。所以别说废话,言归正传吧;你说我的母亲——
罗森格兰兹 她这样说:您的行为使她非常吃惊。
哈姆莱特 啊,好儿子,居然会叫一个母亲吃惊!可是在这母亲的吃惊的后面,还有些什么话呢?说吧。
罗森格兰兹 她请您在就寝以前,到她房间里去跟她谈谈。
哈姆莱特 即使她十次是我的母亲,我也一定服从她。你还有什么别的事情?
罗森格兰兹 殿下,我曾经蒙您错爱。
哈姆莱特 凭着我这双扒手起誓,我现在还是欢喜你的。
罗森格兰兹 好殿下,您心里这样不痛快,究竟为了什么原因?要是您不肯把您的心事告诉您的朋友,那恐怕会害您自己失去自由。
哈姆莱特 我不满足我现在的地位。
罗森格兰兹 怎么!王上自己已经亲口把您立为王位的继承者了,您还不能满足吗?
哈姆莱特 嗯,可是“要等草儿青青——”这句老话也有点儿发了霉啦。
乐工等持笛上。
哈姆莱特 啊!笛子来了;拿一支给我。跟你们退后一步说话;为什么你们总这样千方百计地绕到我下风的一面,好像一定要把我逼进你们的圈套?
吉尔登斯吞 啊!殿下,要是我有太冒昧放肆的地方,那都是因为我对于您敬爱太深的缘故。
哈姆莱特 我不大懂得你的话。你愿意吹吹这笛子吗?
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,我不会吹。
哈姆莱特 请你吹一吹。
吉尔登斯吞 我真的不会吹。
哈姆莱特 请你不要客气。
吉尔登斯吞 我真的一点不会,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那是跟说谎一样容易的;你只要用你的手指按着这些笛孔,把你的嘴放在上面一吹,它就会发出最好听的音乐来。瞧,这些是音栓。
吉尔登斯吞 可是我不会从它里面吹出谐和的曲调来;我不懂那技巧。
哈姆莱特 哼,你把我看成了什么东西!你会玩弄我;你自以为摸得到我的心窍;你想要探出我的内心的秘密;你会从我的最低音试到我的最高音;可是在这支小小的乐器之内,藏着绝妙的音乐,你却不会使它发出声音来。哼,你以为玩弄我比玩弄一支笛子容易吗?无论你把我叫作什么乐器,你也只能撩拨我,不能玩弄我。
波洛涅斯重上。
哈姆莱特 上帝祝福你,先生!
波洛涅斯 殿下,娘娘请您立刻就去见她说话。
哈姆莱特 你看见那片像骆驼一样的云吗?
波洛涅斯 嗳哟,它真的像一头骆驼。
哈姆莱特 我想它还是像一头鼬鼠。
波洛涅斯 它拱起了背,正像是一头鼬鼠。
哈姆莱特 还是像一条鲸鱼吧?
波洛涅斯 很像一条鲸鱼。
哈姆莱特 那么等一会儿我就去见我的母亲。(旁白)我给他们愚弄得再也忍不住了。(高声)我等一会儿就来。
波洛涅斯 我就去这么说。(下。)
哈姆莱特 说等一会儿是很容易的。离开我,朋友们。(除哈姆莱特外均下)现在是一夜之中最阴森的时候,鬼魂都在此刻从坟墓里出来,地狱也要向人世吐放疠气;现在我可以痛饮热腾腾的鲜血,干那白昼所不敢正视的残忍的行为。且慢!我还要到我母亲那儿去一趟。心啊!不要失去你的天性之情,永远不要让尼禄的灵魂潜入我这坚定的胸怀;让我做一个凶徒,可是不要做一个逆子。我要用利剑一样的说话刺痛她的心,可是决不伤害她身体上一根毛发;我的舌头和灵魂要在这一次学学伪善者的样子,无论在言语上给她多么严厉的谴责,在行动上却要做得丝毫不让人家指摘。



沐觅谨。

Scene Two
A hall in the castle.

[Enter HAMLET and Players]
HAMLET
Speak the speech,I pray you,as I pronouncedit to
you,trippinglyon the tongue:but if you mouth it,
as many of your players do,I had as lief the
town-crierspoke my lines.Nor do not saw the air too much
with your hand,
thus,but use all gently;
for in the very torrent,tempest,and,as I may say,
the whirlwindof passion,you must acquire and beget
a temperancethat may give it smoothness.O,it
offends me to the soul to hear a robustious
periwig-patedfellow tear a passion to tatters,to
very rags,to split the ears of the groundlings,who
for the most part are capable of nothing but
inexplicabledumbshowsand noise:I would have such
a fellow whipped for o>erdoing Termagant;it
out-herods Herod:pray you,avoid it.
First Player
I warrantyour honour.
HAMLET
Be not too tameneither,but let your own discretion
be your tutor:suit the action to the word,the
word to the action;with this special o>erstepnot
the modestyof nature:for any thing so overdone is
from the purpose of playing,whose end,both at the
first and now,was and is,to hold,as>twere,the
mirror up to nature;to show virtue her own feature,
scornher own image,and the very age and body of
the time his form and pressure.Now this overdone,
or come tardyoff,though it make the unskilful
laugh,cannot but make the judiciousgrieve;the
censureof the which one must in your allowance
o>erweigh a whole theatre of others.O,there be
players that I have seen play,and heard others
praise,and that highly,not to speak it profanely,
that,neither having the accent of Christians nor
the gaitof Christian,pagan,nor man,have so
struttedand bellowedthat I have thought some of
nature's journeymenhad made men and not made them
well,they imitatedhumanityso abominably.
First Player
I hope we have reformed that indifferentlywith us,
sir.
HAMLET
O,reform it altogether.And let those that play
your clownsspeak no more than is set down for them;
for there be of them that will themselves laugh,to
set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh
too;though,in the mean time,some necessary
question of the play be then to be considered:
that's villanous,and shows a most pitiful ambition
in the fool that uses it.Go,make you ready.
[Exeunt Players]
[Enter POLONIUS,ROSENCRANTZ,and GUILDENSTERN]
How now,my lord!I will the king hear this piece of work?
LORD POLONIUS
And the queen too,and that presently.
HAMLET
Bid the Players make haste.
[Exit POLONIUS]
Will you two help to hastenthem?
ROSENCRANTZ
We will,my lord.
GUILDENSTERN
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
HAMLET
What ho!Horatio!
[Enter HORATIO]
HORATIO
Here,sweet lord,at your service.
HAMLET
Horatio,thou art e>enas just a man
As e>ermy conversation coped withal.
HORATIO
O,my dear lord,——
HAMLET
Nay,do not think I flatter;
For what advancementmay I hope from thee
That no revenuehast but thy good spirits,
To feed and clothethee?Why should the poor be flatter'd?
No,let the candiedtongue lickabsurd pomp,
And crookthe pregnanthingesof the knee
Where thriftmay follow fawning.Dost thou hear?
Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice
And could of men distinguish,her election
Hath seal'd thee for herself;for thou hast been
As one,in suffering all,that suffers nothing,
A man that fortune's buffetsand rewards
Hast ta>en with equal thanks:and blestare those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled,
That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger
To sound what stop she please.Give me that man
That is not passion's slave,and I will wear him
In my heart's core,ay,in my heart of heart,
As I do thee.——Something too much Of this.——
There is a play to-night before the king;
One scene of it comes near the circumstance
Which I have told thee of my father's death:
I prithee,when thou seestthat act afoot,
Even with the very comment of thy soul
Observe mine uncle:if his occultedguilt
Do not itself unkennelin one speech,
It is a damned ghost that we have seen,
And my imaginations are as foul
As Vulcan'sstithy.Give him heedfulnote;
For I mine eyes will rivetto his face,
And after we will both our judgments join
In censureof his seeming.
HORATIO
Well,my lord:
If he steal aughtthe whilstthis play is playing,
And'scapedetecting,I will pay the theft.
HAMLET
They are coming to the play;I must be idle:
Get you a place.
[Danish march.A flourish.Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,POLONIUS,OPHELIA,ROSENCRANTZ,GUILDENSTERN,and others]
KING CLAUDIUS
How faresour cousin Hamlet?
HAMLET
Excellent,i>faith;Of the chameleon'sdish:I eat
the air,promise-crammed:you cannot feed caponsso.
KING CLAUDIUS
I have nothing with this answer,Hamlet;these wordsare not mine.
HAMLET
NO,nor mine now.
[To POLONIUS]
My lord,you played once i>the university,you say?
LORD POLONIUS
That did I,my lord;and was accounteda good actor.
HAMLET
What did you enact?
LORD POLONIUS
I did enact Julius Caesar:I was killed i>the
Capitol;Brutuskilled me.
HAMLET
It was a brutepart of him to kill so capitala calf
there.Be the players ready?
ROSENCRANTZ
Ay,my lord;they stay upon your patience.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Come hither,my dear Hamlet,sit by me.
HAMLET
No,good mother,here's metal more attractive.
LORD POLONIUS
[TO KING CLAUDIUS]O,ho!do you mark that?
HAMLET
Lady,shall I lie in your lap?
[Lying down at OPHELIA's feet]
OPHELIA
No,my lord.
HAMLET
I mean,my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA
I think nothing,my lord
HAMLET
That's a fair thought to lie between maids>legs.
OPHELIA
What is,my lord?
HAMLET
Nothing.
OPHELIA
You are merry,my lord.
HAMLET
Who,I?
OPHELIA
Ay,my lord.
HAMLET
O God,your only jig-maker.What should a man do
but be merry?for,look you,how cheerfullymy
mother looks,and my father died within these two hours.
OPHELIA
Nay,>tis twice two months,my lord.
HAMLET
So long?Nay then,let the devil wear black,for
I>ll have a suit of sables.O heavens!die two
months ago,and not forgotten yet?Then there's
hope a great man's memory may outlivehis life half

OPHELIA
What means this,my lord?
HAMLET
Marry,this is michingmallecho;it means mischief.
OPHELIA
Belikethis show importsthe argumentof the play.
[Enter Prologue]
HAMLET
We shall know by this felloW:the players cannot
keep counsel;they>ll tell all.
OPHELIA
Will he tell us what this show meant?
HAMLET
Ay,or any show that you>ll show him:be not you
ashamed to show,he>ll not shame to tell you what it means.
OPHELIA
You are naught,you are naught:I>ll mark the play.
Prologue
For us,and for our tragedy,
Here stooping to your clemency,We beg your hearing patiently.
[Exit]
HAMLET
Is this a prologue,or the posyof ring?
OPHELIA
>Tis brief,my lord.
HAMLET
As woman's love.
[Enter two Players,King and Queen]
Player King
Full thirty times hath Phoebus>cartgone round
Neptune'ssalt wash and Tellus>orbed ground,
And thirty dozen moons with borrow'd sheen
About the world have times twelve thirties been,
Since love our hearts and Hymendid our hands,
Unite commutualin most sacredbands
Player Queen
So many journeys may the sun and moon
Make us again count o>er erelove be done!
But,woeis me,you are so sick of late,
So far from cheer and from your former state,
That I distrustyou.Yet,though I distrust,
Discomfortyou,my lord,it nothing must:
FOr women's fear and love holds quantity;
In neither aught,or in extremity.
Now,what my love is,proof hath made you know;
And as my love is sized,my fear is so:
Where love is great,the littlest doubts are fear;
Where little fears grow great,great love grows there.
Player King
>Faith,I must leave thee,love,and shortly too;
My operantpowers their functions leave to do:
And thou shaltlive in this fair world behind,
Honour'd,beloved;and haplyone as kind
For husband shalt thou——
Player Queen
O,confound the rest!
Such love must needs be treasonin my breast:
In second husband let me be accurst!
None wed the second but who kill'd the first.
HAMLET
[Aside] Wormwood,wormwood.
Player Queen
The instances that second marriage move
Are base respects of thrift,but none of love:
A second time I kill my husband dead,
When second husband kisses me in bed.
Player King
I do believe you think what now you speak;
But what we do determine oft we break.
Purpose is but the slave to memory,
Of violent birth,but poor validity;
Which now,like fruit unripe,sticks on the tree;
But fall,unshaken,when they mellowbe.
Most necessary>tis that we forget
To pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt:
What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending,doth the purpose lose.
The violenceof either grief or joy
Their own enactureswith themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels,grief doth most lament;
Grief joys,joy grieves,on slender accident.
This world is not for aye,nor>tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For>tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune,or else fortune love.
The great man down,you mark his favouriteflies;
The poor advanced makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollowfriend doth try,
Directly seasonshim his enemy.
But,orderlyto end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contraryrun
That our devicesstill are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours,their ends none of our own:
So think thou wiltno second husband wed;
But die thy thoughts when thy first lordis dead.
Player Queen
Nor earth to me give food,nor heaven light!
Sportand repose lock from me day and night!
To desperation turn my trust and hope!
An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope!
Each opposite that blanksthe face of joy
Meet what I would have well and it destroy!
Both here and hencepursueme lasting strife,
If,once a widow,ever I be wife!
HAMLET
If she should break it now!
Player King
>Tis deeply sworn .Sweet,leave me here awhile;
My spirits grow dull,and fainI would beguile
The tediousday with sleep.
[Sleeps]
Player Queen
Sleep rockthybrain,
And never come mischancebetween us twain!
[Exit]
HAMLET
Madam,how like you this play?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
The lady proteststoo much,methinks.
HAMLET
O,but she>ll keep her word.
KING CLAUDIUS
Have you heard the argument?Is there no offencein>t?
HAMLET
No,no,they do but jest,poison in jest;no offence
i>theworld.
KING CLAUDIUS
What do you call the play?
HAMLET
The Mouse-trap.Marry,how?Tropically.This play
Is the image of a murder done in Vienna:Gonzago is
the duke's name;his wife,Baptista:you shall see
anon;>tis a knavishpiece of work:but what o>
that?your majesty and we that have free souls,it
touches us not:let the galledjadewince,our
withersare unwrung.
[Enter LUCIANUS]
This is one Lucianus,nephewto the king.
OPHELIA
You are as good as a chorus,my lord.
HAMLET
I could interpretbetween you and your love,if I
could see the puppetsdallying.
OPHELIA
You are keen,my lord,you are keen.
HAMLET
It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge.
OPHELIA
Still better,and worse.
HAMLET
So you must take your husbands.Begin,murderer;
pox,leave thy damnablefaces,and begin Come:

LUCIANUS
Thoughts black,hands apt,drugs fit,and time agreeing;

With Hecate'sbanthrice blasted,thrice infected,

[Poursthe poison into the sleeper's ears]
HAMLET
He posons him i>the garden for'sestate.His
name's Gonzago:the story is extant,and writin

gets the love of Gonzago's wife.
OPHELIA
The king rises.
HAMLET
What,frighted with false fire!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
How faresmy lord?
LORD POLONIUS
Give o>erthe play.
KING CLAUDIUS
Give me some light:away!
All
Lights,lights,lights!
[Exeunt all but HAMLET and HORATIO]
HAMLET
Why,let the strickendeer go weep,
The hartungalledplay;
For some must watch,while some must sleep:
So runs the world away.
Would not this,sir,and a forest of feathers——if
the rest of my fortunes turn Turk with me——with two
Provincial roses on my razedshoes,get me a fellowship in a
cry of play,sir?
HORATIO
Half a share.
HAMLET
A whole one,I.
For thou dost know O Damon dear,
This realm dismantledwas
Of Jovehimself;and now reignshere
A very,very——pajock.
HORATIO
You might have rhymed.
HAMLET
O good Horatio,I>ll take the ghost's word for a
thousand pound.Didstperceive?
HORATIO
Very well,my lord.
HAMLET
Upon the talk of the poisoning?
HORATIO
I did very well note him.
HAMLET
Ah,ha!Come,some music!come,the recorders!
For if the king like not the comedy,
Why then,belike,he likes it not,perdy.
Come,some music!
[Re-enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
GUILDENSTERN
Good my lord,vouchsafeme a word with you.
HAMLET
Sir,a whole history.
GUILDENSTERN
The king,sir,——
HAMLET
Ay,sir,what of him?
GUILDENSTERN
Is in his retirementmarvellousdistempered.
HAMLET
With drink,sir?
GUILDENSTERN
No,my lord,rather with choler.
HAMLET
Your wisdom should show itself more richer to
signifythis to his doctor;for,for me to put him
to his purgationwould perhaps plungeghim into far
more choler.
GUILDENSTERN
Good my lord,put your discourse into some frame and
start not so wildly from my affair.
HAMLET
I am tame,sir:pronounce.
GUILDENSTERN
The queen,your mother,in most great afflictionof
spirit,hath sent me to you.
HAMLET
You are welcome.
GUILDENSTERN
Nay,good my lord,this courtesy is not of the right
breed.If it shall please you to make me a
wholesomeanswer,I will do your mother's
commandment:if not,your pardon and my return
shall be the end of my business.
HAMLET
Sir,I cannot.
GUILDENSTERN
What,my lord?
HAMLET
Make yor a wholesome answer;my wit'sdiseased:but,
sir,such answer as I can make,you shall command;
or,rather,as you say,my mother:thereforeno
more,but to the matter:my mother,you say,——
ROSENCRANTZ
Then thus she says;your behavior hath struck her
into amazement and admiration.
HAMLET
O wonderful son,that can so astonish a mother!But
is there no sequelat the heelsof this mother's
admiration?Impart.
ROSENCRANTZ
She desires to speak with you in her closet,ereyou
go to bed.
HAMLET
We shall obey,were she ten times our mother.Have
you any further trade with us?
ROSENCRANTZ
My lord,you once did love me.
HAMLET
So I do still,by these pickers and stealers.
ROSENCRANTZ
Good my lord,what is your cause of distemper?you
do,surely,barthe door upon your own liberty,if
you denyyour griefs to your friend.
HAMLET
Sir,I lack advancement.
ROSENCRANTZ
How can that be,when you have the voice of the king
himself for your successionin Denmark?
HAMLET
Ay,but sir,>While the grass grows,>——the proverb
is something musty.
[Re-enter Players with recorders]
O,the recorders!let me see one.To withdrawwith
you:——why do you go about to recover the wind of me,
as if you would drive me into a toil?
GUILDENSTERN
O,my lord,if my duty be too bold,my love is too
unmannerly.
HAMLET
I do not well understand that.Will you play upon
this pipe?
GUILDENSTERN
My lord,I cannot.
HAMLET
I pray you.
GUILDENSTERN
bolieve me,I cannot.
HAMLET
I do beseechyou.
GUILDENSTERN
I know no touch of it,my lord.
HAMLET
>Tis as easy as lying:governthese ventageswith
your lingers and thumb,give it breath with your
mouth,and it will discoursemost eloquentmusic.
Look you,these are the stops.
GUILDENSTERN
But these cannot I command to any utteranceof
harmony;I have not the skill.
HAMLET
Why,look you now,how unworthy a thing you make of
me!You would play upon me;you would seem to know
my stops;you would pluckout the heart of my
mystery;you would sound me from my lowest note to
the top of my compass:and there is much music,
excellent voice,in this little organ;yet cannot
you make it speak.'sblood,do you think I am
easier to be played on than a pipe?Call me what
instrument you will,though you can fretme,yet you
cannot play upon me.
[Enter POLONIUS]
God bless you,sir!
LORD POLONIUS
My lord,the queen would speak with you,and
presently.
HAMLET
Do you see yondercloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
LORD POLONIUS
By the mass,and >tis like a camel,indeed.
HAMLET
Methinksit is like a weasel.
LORD POLONIUS
It is backed like a weasel.
HAMLET
Or like a whale?
LORD POLONIUS
Very like a whale.
HAMLET
Then I will come to my mother by and by.They fool
me to the top of my bent.I will come by and by.
LORD POLONIUS
I will say so.
HAMLET
By and by is easily said.
[Exit POLONIUS]
Leave me,friends.
[Exeunt all but HAMLET]
Tisnow the very withchingtime of night,
When churchyardsyawnand hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world:now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quaketo look on.Soft!now to my mother.
O heart,lose not thy nature;let not ever
The soul of Neroenter this firmbosom:
Let me be cruel,not unnatural:
I will speak daggers to her,but use none;
My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites;
How in my words soevershe be shent,
To give them seals never,my soul,consent!


第二场 城堡中的厅堂


哈姆莱特及若干伶人上。
哈姆莱特 请你念这段剧词的时候,要照我刚才读给你听的那样子,一个字一个字打舌头上很轻快地吐出来;要是你也像多数的伶人们一样,只会拉开了喉咙嘶叫,那么我宁愿叫那宣布告示的公差念我这几行词句。也不要老是把你的手在空中这么摇挥;一切动作都要温文,因为就是在洪水暴风一样的感情激发之中,你也必须取得一种节制,免得流于过火。啊!我顶不愿意听见一个披着满头假发的家伙在台上乱嚷乱叫,把一段感情片片撕碎,让那些只爱热闹的低级观众听了出神,他们中间的大部分是除了欣赏一些莫名其妙的手势以外,什么都不懂。我可以把这种家伙抓起来抽一顿鞭子,因为他把妥玛刚特形容过分,希律王的凶暴也要对他甘拜下风。请你留心避免才好。
伶甲 我留心着就是了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 可是太平淡了也不对,你应该接受你自己的常识的指导,把动作和言语互相配合起来;特别要注意到这一点,你不能越过自然的常道;因为任何过分的表现都是和演剧的原意相反的,自有戏剧以来,它的目的始终是反映自然,显示善恶的本来面目,给它的时代看一看它自己演变发展的模型。要是表演得过分了或者太懈怠了,虽然可以博外行的观众一笑,明眼之士却要因此而皱眉;你必须看重这样一个卓识者的批评甚于满场观众盲目的毁誉。啊!我曾经看见有几个伶人演戏,而且也听见有人把他们极口捧场,说一句比喻不伦的话,他们既不会说基督徒的语言,又不会学着基督徒、异教徒或者一般人的样子走路,瞧他们在台上大摇大摆,使劲叫喊的样子,我心里就想一定是什么造化的雇工把他们造了下来:造得这样拙劣,以至于全然失去了人类的面目。
伶甲 我希望我们在这方面已经有了相当的纠正了。
哈姆莱特 啊!你们必须彻底纠正这一种弊病。还有你们那些扮演小丑的,除了剧本上专为他们写下的台词以外,不要让他们临时编造一些话加上去。往往有许多小丑爱用自己的笑声,引起台下一些无知的观众的哄笑,虽然那时候全场的注意力应当集中于其他更重要的问题上;这种行为是不可恕的,它表示出那丑角的可鄙的野心。去,准备起来吧。(伶人等同下。)
波洛涅斯、罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。
哈姆莱特 啊,大人,王上愿意来听这一本戏吗?
波洛涅斯 他跟娘娘都就要来了。
哈姆莱特 叫那些戏子们赶紧点儿。(波洛涅斯下)你们两人也去帮着催催他们。
罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞 是,殿下。 (罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞下)
哈姆莱特 喂!霍拉旭!
霍拉旭上。
霍拉旭 有,殿下。
哈姆莱特 霍拉旭,你是我所交结的人们中间最正直的一个人。
霍拉旭 啊,殿下!——
哈姆莱特 不,不要以为我在恭维了你;你除了你的善良的精神以外,身无长物,我恭维了你又有什么好处呢?为什么要向穷人恭维?不,让蜜糖一样的嘴唇去吮舐愚妄的荣华,在有利可图的所在屈下他们生财有道的膝盖来吧。听着。自从我能够辨别是非、察择贤愚以后,你就是我灵魂里选中的一个人,因为你虽然经历一切的颠沛,却不曾受到一点伤害,命运的虐待和恩宠,你都是受之泰然;能够把感情和理智调整得那么适当,命运不能把他玩弄于指掌之间,那样的人是有福的。给我一个不为感情所奴役的人,我愿意把他珍藏在我的心坎,我的灵魂的深处,正像我对你一样。这些话现在也不必多说了。今晚我们要在国王面前演一出戏,其中有一场的情节跟我告诉过你的我的父亲的死状颇相仿佛;当那幕戏正在串演的时候,我要请你集中你的全副精神,注视我的叔父,要是他在听到了那一段戏词以后,他的隐藏的罪恶还是不露出一丝痕迹来,那么我们所看见的那个鬼魂一定是个恶魔,我的幻想也就像铁匠的砧石那样黑漆一团了。留心看他;我也要把我的眼睛看定他的脸上;过后我们再把各人观察的结果综合起来,给他下一个判断。
霍拉旭 很好,殿下;在演这出戏的时候,要是他在容色举止之间,有什么地方逃过了我们的注意,请您唯我是问。
哈姆莱特 他们来看戏了;我必须装出一副糊涂样子。你去拣一个地方坐下。
奏丹麦进行曲,喇叭奏花腔。国王、王后、波洛涅斯、奥菲利娅、罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞及余人等上。
国王 你过得好吗,哈姆莱特贤侄?
哈姆莱特 很好,好极了;我过的是变色蜥蝎的生活,整天吃空气,肚子让甜言蜜语塞满了;这可不是你们填鸭子的办法。
国王 你这种话真是答非所问,哈姆莱特;我不是那个意思。
哈姆莱特 不,我现在也没有那个意恩。(向波洛涅斯)大人,您说您在大学里念书的时候,曾经演过一回戏吗?
波洛涅斯 是的,殿下,他们都称赞我是一个很好的演员哩。
哈姆莱特 您扮演什么角色呢?
波洛涅斯 我扮的是裘力斯·凯撒;勃鲁托斯在朱庇特神殿里把我杀死。
哈姆莱特 他在神殿里杀死了那么好的一头小牛,真太残忍了。那班戏子已经预备好了吗?
罗森格兰兹 是,殿下,我们在等候您的旨意。
王后 过来,我的好哈姆莱特,坐在我的旁边。
哈姆莱特 不,好妈妈,这儿有一个更迷人的东西哩。
波洛涅斯 (向国王)啊哈!您看见吗?
哈姆莱特 小姐,我可以睡在您的怀里吗?
奥菲利娅 不,殿下。
哈姆莱特 我的意思是说,我可以把我的头枕在您的膝上吗?
奥菲利娅 嗯,殿下。
哈姆莱特 您以为我在转着下流的念头吗?
奥菲利妞 我没有想到,殿下。
哈姆莱特 睡在姑娘大腿的中间,想起来倒是很有趣的。
奥菲利娅 什么,殿下?
哈姆莱特 没有什么。
奥菲利娅 您在开玩笑哩,殿下。
哈姆莱特 谁,我吗?
奥菲利娅 嗯,殿下。
哈姆莱特 上帝啊!要说玩笑,那就得属我了。一个人为什么不说说笑笑呢?你瞧,我的母亲多么高兴,我的父亲还不过死了两个钟头。
奥菲利娅 不,已经四个月了,殿下。
哈姆莱特 这么久了吧?嗳哟,那么让魔鬼去穿孝服吧,我可要去做一身貂皮的新衣啦。天啊!死了两个月,还没有把他忘记吗?那么也许一个大人物死了以后,他的记忆还可以保持半年之久;可是凭着圣母起誓,他必须造下几所教堂,否则他就要跟那被遗弃的本马一样,没有人再会想念他了。
高音笛奏乐。哑剧登场。
一国王及一王后上,状极亲热,互相拥抱。后跪地,向王作宣誓状,王扶后起,俯首后颈上。王就花坪上睡下;后见王睡熟离去。另一人上,自王头上去冠,吻冠,注毒药于王耳,下。后重上,见王死,作哀恸状。下毒者率其他二、三人重上,佯作陪后悲哭状。从者舁王尸下。下毒者以礼物赠后,向其乞爱;后先作憎恶不愿状,卒允其请。同下。
奥菲利娅 这是什么意思,殿下?
哈姆莱特 呃,这是阴谋诡计、不干好事的意思。
奥菲利娅 大概这一场哑剧就是全剧的本事了。致开场词者上。
哈姆莱特 这家伙可以告诉我们一切;演戏的都不能保守秘密,他们什么话都会说出来。
奥菲利娅 他也会给我们解释方才那场哑剧有什么奥妙吗?
哈姆莱特 是啊;这还不算,只要你做给他看什么,他也能给你解释什么;只要你做出来不害臊,他解释起来也决不害臊。
奥菲利娅 殿下真是淘气,真是淘气。我还是看戏吧。
开场词
这悲剧要是演不好,
要请各位原谅指教,
小的在这厢有礼了。(致开场词者下。)
哈姆莱特 这算开场词呢,还是指环上的诗铭?
奥菲利娅 它很短,殿下。
哈姆莱特 正像女人的爱情一样。
二伶人扮国王、王后上。
伶王 日轮已经盘绕三十春秋,
那茫茫海水和滚滚地球。
月亮吐耀着借来的晶光,
三百六十回向大地环航,
自从爱把我们缔结良姻,
许门替我们证下了鸳盟。
伶后 愿日月继续他们的周游,
让我们再厮守三十春秋!
可是唉,你近来这样多病
郁郁寡欢,失去旧时高兴
好教我满心里为你忧惧。
可是,我的主,你不必疑虑;女人的忧伤像爱情一样,
不是大少,就是超过分量;你知道我爱你是多么深,
所以才会有如此的忧心。
越是相爱,越是挂肚牵胸;不这样哪显得你我情浓?
伶王 爱人,我不久必须离开你,
我的全身将要失去生机;
留下你在这繁华的世界
安享尊荣,受人们的敬爱:
也许再嫁一位如意郎君——
伶后 啊!我断不是那样薄情人;
我倘忘旧迎新,难邀天恕,
再嫁的除非是杀夫淫妇。
哈姆莱特 (旁白)苦恼,苦恼!
伶后 妇人失节大半贪慕荣华,
多情女子决不另抱琵琶;
我要是与他人共枕同衾,
怎么对得起地下的先灵!
伶王 我相信你的话发自心田,
可是我们往往自食前言。
志愿不过是记忆的奴隶,
总是有始无终,虎头蛇尾,
像未熟的果子密布树梢,
一朝红烂就会离去枝条。
我们对自己的所负的债务,
最好把它丢在脑后不顾;
一时的热情中发下誓愿,
心冷了,那意志也随云散。
过分的喜乐,剧烈的哀伤,
反会毁害了感惰的本常。
人世间的哀乐变幻无端,
痛哭转瞬早变成了狂欢。
世界也会有毁灭的一天,
何怪爱情要随境遇变迁;
有谁能解答这一个哑谜,
是境由爱造?是爱逐境移?
失财势的伟人举目无亲;
走时运的穷酸仇敌逢迎。
这炎凉的世态古今一辙:
富有的门庭挤满了宾客;
要是你在穷途向人求助,
即使知交也要情同陌路。
把我们的谈话拉回本题,
意志命运往往背道而驰,
决心到最后会全部推倒,
事实的结果总难符预料。
你以为你自己不会再嫁,
只怕我一死你就要变卦。
伶后 地不要养我,天不要亮我!
昼不得游乐,夜不得安卧!
毁灭了我的希望和信心;
铁锁囚门把我监禁终身!
每一种恼人的飞来横逆,
把我一重重的心愿摧折!
我倘死了丈夫再作新人,
让我生前死后永陷沉沦!
哈姆莱特 要是她现在背了誓!
伶王 难为你发这样重的誓愿。
爱人,你且去;我神思昏倦,
想要小睡片刻。(睡。)
伶后 愿你安睡;
上天保佑我俩永远灾悔!(下。)
哈姆莱特 母亲,您觉得这出戏怎样?
王后 我觉得那女人在表白心迹的时候,说话过火了一些。
哈姆莱特 啊,可是她会守约的。
国王 这本戏是怎么一个情节?里面没有什么要不得的地方吗?
哈姆莱特 不,不,他们不过开玩笑毒死了一个人;没有什么要不得的。
国王 戏名叫什么?
哈姆莱特 《捕鼠机》。呃,怎么?这是一个象征的名字。戏中的故事影射着维也纳的一件谋杀案。贡扎古是那公爵的名字;他的妻子叫做白普蒂丝姐。您看下去就知道是怎么一回事啦。这是个很恶劣的作品,可是那有什么关系?它不会对您陛下跟我们这些灵魂清白的人有什么相干;让那有毛病的马儿去惊跳退缩吧,我们的肩背都是好好的。
一伶人扮琉西安纳斯上。

哈姆莱特 这个人叫做琉西安纳斯,是那国王的侄子。
奥菲利娅 您很会解释剧情,殿下。
哈姆莱特 要是我看见傀儡戏搬演您跟您爱人的故事,我也会替你们解释的。
奥菲利娅 您的嘴真厉害,殿下,您的嘴真厉害。
哈姆莱特 我要是真厉害起来,你非得哼哼不可。
奥菲利娅 说好就好,说糟就糟。
哈姆莱特 女人嫁丈夫也是一样。动手吧,凶手!混账东西,别扮鬼脸了,动手吧!来;哇哇的乌鸦发出复仇的啼声。
琉西安纳斯
黑心快手,遇到妙药良机;
趁着没人看见事不宜迟。
你夜半采来的毒草炼成,
赫卡忒的咒语念上三巡,
赶快发挥你凶恶的魔力,
让他的生命速归于幻灭。(以毒药注入睡者耳中。)
哈姆莱特 他为了觊觎权位,在花园里把他毒死。他的名字叫贡扎古;那故事原文还存在,是用很好的意大利文写成的。底下就要做到那凶手怎样得到贡扎古的妻子的爱了。
奥菲利娅 王上站起来了!
哈姆莱特 什么!给一响空熗吓怕了吗?
王后 陛下怎么样啦?
波洛涅斯 不要演下去了!
国王 给我点起火把来!去!
众人 火把!火把!火把!(除哈姆莱特、霍拉旭外均下。)
哈姆莱特 嗨,让那中箭的母鹿掉泪,
没有伤的公鹿自去游玩;
有的人失眠,有的人酣睡,
世界就是这样循环轮转。
老兄,要是我的命运跟我作起对来,凭着我这念词的本领,头上插上满头的羽毛,开缝的靴子上再缀上两朵绢花,你想我能不能在戏班子里插足?
霍拉旭 也许他们可以让您领半额包银。
哈姆莱特 我可要领全额的。
因为你知道,亲爱的朋友,
这一个荒凉破碎的国王
原本是乔武统治的雄邦,
而今王位却坐着——孔雀。
霍拉旭 您该押韵才是。
哈姆莱特 啊,好霍拉旭!那鬼魂真的没有骗我。你看见吗?
霍拉旭 看见的,殿下。
哈姆莱特 在那演戏的一提到毒药的时候?
霍拉旭 我看得他很清楚。
哈姆莱特 啊哈!来,奏乐!来,那吹笛子的呢?
要是国王不爱这出喜剧,
那么他多半是不能赏识。
来,奏乐!
罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞重上。
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,允许我跟您说句话。
哈姆莱特 好,你对我讲全部历史都可以。
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,王上——
哈姆莱特 嗯,王上怎么样?
吉尔登斯吞 他回去以后,非常不舒服。
哈姆莱特 喝醉了吗?
吉尔登斯吞 不,殿下,他在发脾气。
哈姆莱特 你应该把这件事告诉他的医生,才算你的聪明因为叫我去替他诊视,恐怕反而更会激动他的脾气的。
吉尔登斯吞 好殿下,请您说话检点些,别这样拉扯开去。
哈姆莱特 好,我是听话的,你说吧。
吉尔登斯吞 您的母后心里很难过,所以叫我来。
哈姆莱特 欢迎得很。
吉尔登斯吞 不,殿下,这一种礼貌是用不着的。要是您愿意给我一个好好的回答,我就把您母亲的意旨向您传达;不然的话,请您原谅我,让我就这么回去,我的事情就算完了。
哈姆莱特 我不能。
吉尔登斯吞 您不能什么,殿下?
哈姆莱特 我不能给你一个好好的回答,因为我的脑子已经坏了;可是我所能够给你的回答,你——我应该说我的母亲——可以要多少有多少。所以别说废话,言归正传吧;你说我的母亲——
罗森格兰兹 她这样说:您的行为使她非常吃惊。
哈姆莱特 啊,好儿子,居然会叫一个母亲吃惊!可是在这母亲的吃惊的后面,还有些什么话呢?说吧。
罗森格兰兹 她请您在就寝以前,到她房间里去跟她谈谈。
哈姆莱特 即使她十次是我的母亲,我也一定服从她。你还有什么别的事情?
罗森格兰兹 殿下,我曾经蒙您错爱。
哈姆莱特 凭着我这双扒手起誓,我现在还是欢喜你的。
罗森格兰兹 好殿下,您心里这样不痛快,究竟为了什么原因?要是您不肯把您的心事告诉您的朋友,那恐怕会害您自己失去自由。
哈姆莱特 我不满足我现在的地位。
罗森格兰兹 怎么!王上自己已经亲口把您立为王位的继承者了,您还不能满足吗?
哈姆莱特 嗯,可是“要等草儿青青——”这句老话也有点儿发了霉啦。
乐工等持笛上。
哈姆莱特 啊!笛子来了;拿一支给我。跟你们退后一步说话;为什么你们总这样千方百计地绕到我下风的一面,好像一定要把我逼进你们的圈套?
吉尔登斯吞 啊!殿下,要是我有太冒昧放肆的地方,那都是因为我对于您敬爱太深的缘故。
哈姆莱特 我不大懂得你的话。你愿意吹吹这笛子吗?
吉尔登斯吞 殿下,我不会吹。
哈姆莱特 请你吹一吹。
吉尔登斯吞 我真的不会吹。
哈姆莱特 请你不要客气。
吉尔登斯吞 我真的一点不会,殿下。
哈姆莱特 那是跟说谎一样容易的;你只要用你的手指按着这些笛孔,把你的嘴放在上面一吹,它就会发出最好听的音乐来。瞧,这些是音栓。
吉尔登斯吞 可是我不会从它里面吹出谐和的曲调来;我不懂那技巧。
哈姆莱特 哼,你把我看成了什么东西!你会玩弄我;你自以为摸得到我的心窍;你想要探出我的内心的秘密;你会从我的最低音试到我的最高音;可是在这支小小的乐器之内,藏着绝妙的音乐,你却不会使它发出声音来。哼,你以为玩弄我比玩弄一支笛子容易吗?无论你把我叫作什么乐器,你也只能撩拨我,不能玩弄我。
波洛涅斯重上。
哈姆莱特 上帝祝福你,先生!
波洛涅斯 殿下,娘娘请您立刻就去见她说话。
哈姆莱特 你看见那片像骆驼一样的云吗?
波洛涅斯 嗳哟,它真的像一头骆驼。
哈姆莱特 我想它还是像一头鼬鼠。
波洛涅斯 它拱起了背,正像是一头鼬鼠。
哈姆莱特 还是像一条鲸鱼吧?
波洛涅斯 很像一条鲸鱼。
哈姆莱特 那么等一会儿我就去见我的母亲。(旁白)我给他们愚弄得再也忍不住了。(高声)我等一会儿就来。
波洛涅斯 我就去这么说。(下。)
哈姆莱特 说等一会儿是很容易的。离开我,朋友们。(除哈姆莱特外均下)现在是一夜之中最阴森的时候,鬼魂都在此刻从坟墓里出来,地狱也要向人世吐放疠气;现在我可以痛饮热腾腾的鲜血,干那白昼所不敢正视的残忍的行为。且慢!我还要到我母亲那儿去一趟。心啊!不要失去你的天性之情,永远不要让尼禄的灵魂潜入我这坚定的胸怀;让我做一个凶徒,可是不要做一个逆子。我要用利剑一样的说话刺痛她的心,可是决不伤害她身体上一根毛发;我的舌头和灵魂要在这一次学学伪善者的样子,无论在言语上给她多么严厉的谴责,在行动上却要做得丝毫不让人家指摘。

Scene Three
A room in the castle.

[Enter KING CLAUDIUS,ROSENCRANTZ,and GUILDENSTERN]
KING CLAUDIUS
I like him not,nor stands it safe with us
To let his madness rangeTherefore prepare you;
I your commission will forthwithdispatch,
And he to England shall along with you:
The terms of our estatemay not endure
Hazardso dangerous as doth hourlygrow
Out of his lunacies.
GUILDENSTERN
We will ourselves provide:
Most holyand religious fear it is
To keep those many many bodies safe
That live and feed upon your majesty.
ROSENCRANTZ
The single and peculiarlife is bound,
With all the strength and armourof the mind,
To keep itself from noyance;but much more
That spirit upon whose wealdepend and rest
The lives of many.The ceaseof majesty
Dies not alone;but,like a gulf,doth draw
What's near it with it:it is a massywheel,
Fix'd on the summitof the highest mount,
To whose huge spokesten thousand lesserthings
Are mortisedand adjoin'd;which,when it falls,
Each small annexment,pettyconsequence,
Attends the boisterousruin.Never alone
Did the king sigh,but with a general groan.
KING CLAUDIUS
Armyou,I pray you,to this speedy voyage;
For we will fetters put upon this fear,
Which now goes too free-footed.
ROSENCRANTZ
We will haste us.

Thanks,dear my lord.
[Exit POLONIUS]
O,my offenceis rankit smells to heaven;
It hath the primaleldest curseupon>t,
A brother's murder.Pray can I not,
Though inclinationbe as sharp as will:
My stronger guiltdefeats my strong intent;
And,like a man to double business bound,
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect.What if this cursedhand
Were thicker than itself with brother's blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow?Wheretoserves mercy

To be forestalledere we come to fall,
Or pardon'd being down?Then I>ll look up;

May one be pardon'd and retainthe offence?
In the corruptedcurrents of this world

HAMLET
Now might I do it pat,now he is praying;
And now I>ll do>t.And so he goes to heaven;
And so am I revenged.That would be scann'd:
A villainkills my father;and for that,
I,his soleson,do this same villain send
To heaven.
O,this is hire and salary,not revenge.
He took my father grossly,full of bread;
With all his crimes broad blown,as flushas May;
And how his auditstands who knows save heaven?
But in our circumstance and course of thought,
>Tis heavy with him:and am I then revenged,
To take him in the purgingof his soul,

No!

When he is drunk asleep,or in his rage,
Or in the incestuouspleasure of his bed;

Then triphim,that his heels may kick at heaven,
And that his soul may be as damn'dand black

This physicbut prolongs thy sickly days.


第三场 城堡中一室
国王、罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。
国王 我不喜欢他;纵容他这样疯闹下去,对于我是一个很大的威胁。所以你们快去准备起来吧;我马上叫人办好你们要递送的文书,同时打发他跟你们一块儿到英国去。就我的地位而论,他的疯狂每小时都可以危害我的安全,我不能让他留在我的近旁。
吉尔登斯吞 我们就去准备起来;许多人的安危都寄托在陛下身上,这一种顾虑是最圣明不过的。
罗森格兰兹 每一个庶民都知道怎样远祸全身,一个身负天下重寄的人,尤其应该时刻不懈地防备危害的袭击。君主的薨逝不仅是个人的死亡,它像一个漩涡一样,凡是在它近旁的东西,都要被它卷去同归于尽;又像一个矗立在最高山峰上的巨轮,它的轮辐上连附着无数的小物件,当巨轮轰然崩裂的时候,那些小物件也跟着它一齐粉碎。国王的一声叹息,总是随着全国的呻吟。
国王 请你们准备立刻出发;因为我们必须及早制止这一种公然的威胁。
罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞 我们就赶紧预备 (罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞 同下。)
波洛涅斯上。
波洛涅斯 陛下,他到他母亲房间里去了。我现在就去躲在帏幕后面,听他们怎么说。我可以断定她一定会把他好好教训一顿的。您说得很不错。母亲对于儿子总有几分偏心,所以最好有一个第三者躲在旁边偷听他们的谈话。再会,陛下;在您未睡以前,我还要来看您一次,把我所探听到的事情告诉您。
国王 谢谢你,贤卿。(波洛涅斯下)啊!我的罪恶的戾气已经上达于天;我的灵魂上负着一个元始以来最初的咒诅,杀害兄弟的暴行!我不能祈祷,虽然我的愿望像决心一样强烈;我的更坚强的罪恶击败了我的坚强的意愿。像一个人同时要做两件事情,我因为不知道应该先从什么地方下手而徘徊歧途,结果反弄得一事无成。要是这一只可咒诅的手上染满了一层比它本身还厚的兄弟的血,难道天上所有的甘霖,都不能把它洗涤得像雪一样的洁白吗?慈悲的使命,不就是宽宥罪恶吗?祈祷的目的,不是一方面预防我们的堕落,一方面救拔我们于已堕落之后吗?那么我要仰望上天;我的过失已经犯下了。可是唉!哪一种祈祷才是我所适用的呢?“求上帝赦免我的杀人重罪”吗?那不能,因为我现在还占有着那些引起我的犯罪动机的目的物,我的王冠、我的野心和我的王后。非分攫取的利益还在手里,就可以幸邀宽恕吗?在这贪污的人世,罪恶的镀金的手也许可以把公道推开不顾,暴徒的赃物往往成为枉法的贿赂;可是天上却不是这样的,在那边一切都无可遁避,任何行动都要显现它的真相,我们必须当面为我们自己的罪恶作证。那么怎么办呢?还有什么法子好想呢?试一试忏悔的力量吧。什么事情是忏侮所不能做到的?可是对于一个不能忏侮的人,它又有什么用呢?啊,不幸的处境!啊,像死亡一样黑暗的心胸!啊,越是挣扎,越是不能脱身的胶住了的灵魂!救救我,天使们!试一试吗:屈下来,顽强的膝盖;钢丝一样的心弦,变得像新生之婴的筋肉一样柔嫩吧!但愿一切转祸为福!(退后跪祷。)
哈姆莱特上。
哈姆莱特 他现在正在祈祷,我正好动手;我决定现在就干,让他上天堂去,我也算报了仇了。不,那还要考虑一下:一个恶人杀死我的父亲;我,他的独生子,却把这个恶人送上天堂。啊,这简直是以恩报怨了。他用卑鄙的手段,在我父亲满心俗念、罪孽正重的时候乘其不备把他杀死;虽然谁也不知道在上帝面前,他的生前的善恶如何相抵,可是照我们一般的推想,他的孽债多半是很重的。现在他正在洗涤他的灵魂,要是我在这时候结果了他的性命,那么天国的路是为他开放着,这样还算是复仇吗?不!收起来,我的剑,等候一个更惨酷的机会吧;当他在酒醉以后,在愤怒之中,或是在乱伦纵欲的时候,有赌博、咒骂或是其他邪恶的行为的中间,我就要叫他颠踬在我的脚下,让他幽深黑暗不见天日的灵魂永堕地狱。我的母亲在等我。这一服续命的药剂不过延长了你临死的痛苦。(下。)
国王起立上前。
国王 我的言语高高飞起,我的思想滞留地下;没有思想的言语永远不会上升天界。

Scene Four
The Queen's closet

[Enter QUEEN MARGARET and POLONIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
He will come straight.look you lay home to him:
Tell him his prankshave been too broad to bear with
And that you grace hath screen'd and stood between
Much heat and him.I>ll sconceme even here.
Pary you,be round with him.
HAMLET
[Within]Mother,mother,mother!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
I>ll warrantyou,
Fear me not:withdraw,I hear him coming.
[POLONIUS hides behind the arras]
[Enter HAMLET]
HAMLET
Now,mother,what's the matter?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Hamlet,thou hastthyfather much offended.
HAMLET
Mother,you have my father much offended.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Come,come,you answer with an idletongue.
HAMLET
Go,go,you question with a wickedtongue.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Why,how now,Hamlet!
HAMLET
What's the matter now?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Have you forgot me?
HAMLET
No,by the rood,not so:
You are the queen,your husband's brother's wife;
And——would it were not so!——you are my mother.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Nay,then,I>ll set those to you that can speak.
HAMLET
Come,come,and sit you down;you shall not budge;
You go not till I set you up a glass
Where you may see the inmostpart of you.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
What wiltthou do?thou wilt not murder me?
Help,help,ho!
LORD POLONIUS
[Behind]What,ho!help,help,help!
HAMLET
[Drawing]How now!a rat?Dead,for a ducat,dead!
[Makes a pass through the arras]
LORD POLONIUS
[Behind]O,I am slain!
[Falls and dies]
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O me,what hast thou done?
HAMLET
Nay,I know not:
Is it the king?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O,what a rashand bloody deed is this!
HAMLET
A bloody deed!almost as bad,good mother,
As kill a king,and marry with his brother.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
As kill a king!
HAMLET
Ay,lady,>twasmy word.
Lifts up the arrayand discovers
POLONIUS
Thou wretched,rash,intrudingfool,farewell!
I took thee for thy better:take thy fortune;
Thou find'stto be too busy is some danger.
Leave wringingof your hands:peace!sit you down,
And let me wring your heart;for so I shall,
If it be made of penetrablestuff,
If damned custom have not brass'dit so
That it is proof and bulwarkagainst sense.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
What have I done,that thou darest wagthy tongue
In noise so rude against me?
HAMLET
Such an act
That blursthe grace and blushof modesty,
Calls virtue hypocrite,takes off the rose
From the fair forehead of an innocentlove
And sets a blisterthere,makes marriage-vows
As false as dicers>oaths:O,such a deed
As from the body of contractionplucks
The very soul,and sweet religion makes
A rhapsodyof words:heaven's face doth glow:
Yea,this solidity and compound mass,
With tristfulvisage,as against the doom,
Is thought-sick at the act.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Ay me,what act,
That roarsso loud,and thundersin the index?
HAMLET
book here,upon this picture,and on this,
The counterfeitpresentment of two brothers.
See,what a grace was seated on this brow;
Hyperion'scurls;the frontof Jovehimself;
An eye like Mars,to threaten and command;
A station like the heraldMercury
New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill;
A combination and a form indeed,
Where every god did seem to set his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man:
This was your husband.Look you now,what follows:
Here is your husband;like a mildew'dear,
Blastinghis wholesomebrother.Have you eyes?
Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed,
And battenon this moor?Ha!have you eyes?
You cannot call it love;for at your age
The hey-dayin the blood is tame,it's humble,
And waits upon the judgment:and what judgment
Would step from this to this?Sense,sure,you have,
Else could you not have motion;but sure,that sense
Is apoplex'd;for madness would not err,
Nor sense to ecstasywas ne>erso thrall'd
But it reserved some quantity of choice,
To serve in such a difference.What devilwas>t
That thus hath cozen'dyou at hoodman-blind?
Eyes without feeling,feeling without sight,
Ears without hands or eyes,smelling sansall,
Or but a sickly part of one true sense
Could not so mope.
O shame!where is thy blush?Rebellioushell,
If thou canstmutinein a matron'sbones,
To flaming youth let virtue be as wax,
And melt in her own fire:proclaimno shame
When the compulsiveardourgives the charge,
Since frostitself as actively doth burn
And reason panders will.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O Hamlet,speak no more:
Thou turn'stmine eyes into my very soul;
And there I see such black and grainedspots
As will not leave their tinct.
HAMLET
Nay,but to live
In the ranksweat of an enseamedbed,
Stew'din corruption,honeying and making love
Over the nastysty,——
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O,speak to me no more;
These words,like daggers,enter in mine ears;
No more,sweet Hamlet!
HAMLET
A murderer and a villain;
A slave that is not twentieth part the tithe
Of your precedentlord;a viceof kings;
A cutpurseof the empire and the rule,
That from a shelf the precious diademstole,
And put it in his pocket!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
No more!
HAMLET
A king of shredsand patches,——
[Enter Ghost]
Save me,and hovero>erme with your wings,
You heavenly guards!What would your gracious figure?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Alas,he's mad!
HAMLET
Do you not come your tardyson to chide,
That,lapsedin time and passion,lets go by
The important acting of your dread command?O,say!
Ghost
Do not forget:this visitation
Is but to whetthy almost bluntedpurpose.
But,look,amazement on thy mother sits:
O,step between her and her fighting soul:
Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works:
Speak to her,Hamlet.
HAMLET
How is it with you,lady?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Alas,how is>t with you,
That you do bend your eye on vacancy
And with the incorporalair do hold discourse?
Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep;
And,as the sleeping soldiers in the alarm,
Your beddedhair,like life in excrements,
Starts up,and stands on end.O gentle son,
Upon the heat and flame of thy distemper
Sprinklecool patience.Whereondo you look?
HAMLET
On him,on him!Look you,how pale he glares!
His form and cause conjoin'd,preachingto stones,
Would make them capable.Do not look upon me;
Lestwith this piteousaction you convert
My sterneffects:then what I have to do
Will want true colour;tears perchancefor blood.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
To whom do you speak this?
HAMLET
Do you see nothing there?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Nothing at all;yet all that is I see.
HAMLET
Nor did you nothing hear?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
No,nothing but ourselves.
HAMLET
Why,look you there!look,how it steals away!
My father,in his habit as he lived!
Look,where he goes,even now,out at the portal!
[Exit Ghost]
QUEEN GERTRUDE
This the very coinageof your brain:
This bodiless creation ecstasy
Is very cunningin.
HAMLET
Ecstasy!
My pulse,as yours,doth temperatelykeep time,
And makes as healthful music:it is not madness
That I have utter'd:bring me to the test,
And I the matter will re-word;which madness
Would gambolfrom.Mother,for love of grace,
Lay not that mattering unctionto your soul,
That not your trespass,but my madness speaks:
It will but skinand filmthe ulcerousplace,
Whilstrank corruption,miningall within,
Infects unseen.Confessyourself to heaven;
Repentwhat's past;avoid what is to come;
And do not spread the composton the weeds,
To make them ranker.Forgive me this my virtue;
For in the fatnessof these pursytimes
Virtue itself of vicemust pardon beg,
Yea,curband woofor leave to do him good.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O Hamlet,thou hast cleftmy heart in twain.
HAMLET
O,throw away the worser part of it,
And live the purer with the other half.
Good night:but go not to mine uncle's bed;
Assume a virtue,if you have it not.
That monster,custom,who all sense doth eat,
Of habits devil,is angel yet in this,
That to the use of actions fair and good
He likewisegives a frock or livery,
That aptlyis put on.Refrainto-night,
And that shall lend a kind of easiness
To the next abstinence:the next more easy;
For use almost can change the stamp of nature,
And either the devil,or throw him out
With wondrouspotency.Once more,good night:
And when you are desirousto be bless'd,
I>ll blessing beg of you.For this same lord,
[Pointing to ROLONIUS]
I do repent:but heave hath pleased it so,
To punish me with this and this and this with me,
That I must be their scourgeand minister.
I will bestowhim,and will answer well
The death I gave him.So,again,good night.
I must be cruel,only to be kind:
Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.
One word more,good lady.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
What shall I do?
HAMLET
Not this,by no means,that I bidyou do;
Let the bloatking tempt you again to bed;
Pinchwantonon your cheek;call you his mouse;
And let him,for a pair of reechykisses,
Or paddlingin you neck with his damn'd fingers,
Make you to ravelall this matter out,
That I essentially am not in madness,
But mad in craft.>Tweregood you let him know;
For who,that's but a queen,fair,sober,wise,
Would from a paddock,from a bat,a gib,
Such dear concernings hide?Who would do so?
No,in despite of sense and secrecy,
Unpeqthe basket on the house's top.
Let the birds fly,and,like the famous ape,
To try conclusions,in the basket creep,
And break your own neck down.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Be thou assured,if words be made of breath,
And breath of life,I have no life to breathe
What thou hast said to me.
HAMLET
I must to England;you know that?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Alack,
I had forgot:>tis so concluded on.
HAMLET
There's letters seal'd:and my two schoolfellows,
Whom I will trust as I will addersfang'd,
They bear the mandate;they must sweep my way,
And marshalme to knavery.Let it work;
For>tis the sport to have the engineer
Hoist with his own petard:and>tshall go hard
But I will delveone yardbelow their mines,
And blowthem at the moon:O,>tis most sweet,
When in one line two craftsdirectly meet.
This man shall set me packing:

Mother,good night.Indeed this counsellor
Is now most still,most secret and most grave,
Who was in life a foolish prating knave.
Come,sir,to draw toward an end with you.
Good night,mother.


第四场 王后寝宫


王后及波洛涅斯上。
波洛涅斯 他就要来了。请您把他着实教训一顿,对他说他这种狂妄的态度,实在叫人忍无可忍,倘没有您娘娘替他居中回护,王上早已对他大发雷霆了。我就悄悄地躲在这儿。请您对他讲得着力一点。
哈姆莱特 (在内)母亲,母亲,母亲!
王后 都在我身上,你放心吧。下去吧,我听见他来了。(波洛涅斯匿帏后。)
哈姆莱特上。
哈姆莱特 母亲,您叫我有什么事?
王后 哈姆莱特,你已经大大得罪了你的父亲啦。
哈姆莱特 母亲,您已经大大得罪了我的父亲啦。
王后 来,来,不要用这种胡说八道的话回答我。
哈姆莱特 去,去,不要用这种胡说八道的话问我。
王后 啊,怎么,哈姆莱特!
哈姆莱特 现在又是什么事?
王后 你忘记我了吗?
哈姆莱特 不,凭着十字架起誓,我没有忘记你;你是王后,你的丈夫的兄弟的妻子,你又是我的母亲——但愿你不是!
王后 嗳哟,那么我要去叫那些会说话的人来跟你谈谈了。
哈姆莱特 来,来,坐下来,不要动;我要把一面镜子放在你的面前,让你看一看你自己的灵魂。
王后 你要干么呀?你不是要杀我吗?救命!救命呀!
波洛涅斯 (在后)喂!救命!救命!救命!
哈姆莱特 (拔剑)怎么!是哪一个鼠贼?准是不要命了,我来结果你。(以剑刺穿帏幕。)
波洛涅斯 (在后)啊!我死了!
王后 嗳哟!你干了什么事啦?
哈姆莱特 我也不知道;那不是国王吗?
王后 啊,多么卤莽残酷的行为!
哈姆莱特 残酷的行为!好妈妈,简直就跟杀了一个国王再去嫁给他的兄弟一样坏。
王后 杀了一个国王!
哈姆莱特 嗯,母亲,我正是这样说。(揭帏见波洛涅斯)你这倒运的、粗心的、爱管闲事的傻瓜,再会!我还以为是一个在你上面的人哩。也是你命不该活;现在你可知道爱管闲事的危险了。——别尽扭着你的手。静一静,坐下来,让我扭你的心;你的心倘不是铁石打成的,万恶的习惯倘不曾把它硬化得透不进一点感情,那么我的话一定可以把它刺痛。
王后 我干了些什么错事,你竟敢这样肆无忌惮地向我摇唇弄舌?
哈姆莱特 你的行为可以使贞节蒙污,使美德得到了伪善的名称;从纯洁的恋情的额上取下娇艳的蔷薇,替它盖上一个烙印;使婚姻的盟约变成博徒的誓言一样虚伪;啊!这样一种行为,简真使盟约成为一个没有灵魂的躯壳,神圣的婚礼变成一串谵妄的狂言;苍天的脸上也为它带上羞色,大地因为痛心这样的行为,也罩上满面的愁容,好像世界末日就要到来一般。
王后 唉!究竟是什么极恶重罪,你把它说得这样惊人呢?
哈姆莱特 瞧这一幅图画,再瞧这一幅;这是两个兄弟的肖像。你看这一个的相貌多么高雅优美;太阳神的鬈发,天神的前额,像战神一样威风凛凛的眼睛,像降落在高吻穹苍的山巅的神使一样矫健的姿态;这一个完善卓越的仪表,真像每一个天神都曾在那上面打下印记,向世间证明这是一个男子的典型。这是你从前的丈夫。现在你再看这一个:这是你现在丈夫,像一株霉烂的禾穗,损害了他的健硕的兄弟。你有眼睛吗?你甘心离开这一座大好的高山,靠着这荒野生活吗?嘿!你有眼睛吗?你不能说那是爱情,因为在你的年纪,热情已经冷淡下来,变驯服了,肯听从理智的判断;什么理智愿意从这么高的地方,降落到这么低的所在呢?知觉你当然是有的,否则你就不会有行动;可是你那知觉也一定已经麻木了;因为就是疯人也不会犯那样的错误,无论怎样丧心病狂,总不会连这样悬殊的差异都分辨不出来。那么是什么魔鬼蒙住了你的眼睛,把你这样欺骗呢?有眼睛而没有触觉、有触觉而没有视觉、有耳朵而没有眼或手、只有嗅觉而别的什么都没有,甚至只剩下一种官觉还出了毛病,也不会糊涂到你这步田地。羞啊!你不觉得惭愧吗?要是地狱中的孽火可以在一个中年妇人的骨髓里煽起了蠢动,那么在青春的烈焰中,让贞操像蜡一样融化了吧。当无法阻遏的情欲大举进攻的时候,用不着喊什么羞耻了,因为霜雪都会自动燃烧,理智都会做情欲的奴隶呢。
王后 啊,哈姆莱特!不要说下去了!你使我的眼睛看进了我自己灵魂的深处,看见我灵魂里那些洗拭不去的黑色的污点。
哈姆莱特 嘿,生活在汗臭垢腻的眠床上,让淫邪熏没了心窍,在污秽的猪圈里调情弄爱——
王后 啊,不要再对我说下去了!这些话像刀子一样戳进我的耳朵里;不要说下去了,亲爱的哈姆莱特!
哈姆莱特 一个杀人犯、一个恶徒、一个不及你前夫二百分之一的庸奴、一个冒充国王的丑角、一个盗国窃位的扒手,从架子上偷下那顶珍贵的王冠,塞在自己的腰包里!
王后 别说了!
哈姆莱特 一个下流褴褛的国王——
鬼魂上。
哈姆莱特 天上的神明啊,救救我,用你们的翅膀覆盖我的头顶!——陛下英灵不昧,有什么见教?
王后 嗳哟,他疯了!
哈姆莱特 您不是来责备您的儿子不该消磨时间和热情,把您煌煌的命令搁在一旁,耽误了应该做的大事吗?啊,说吧!
鬼魂 不要忘记。我现在是来磨砺你的快要蹉蛇下去的决心。可是瞧!你的母亲那副惊愕的表情。啊,快去安慰安慰她的正在交战中的灵魂吧!最柔弱的人最容易受幻想的激动。去对她说话,哈姆莱特。
哈姆莱特 您怎么啦,母亲?
王后 唉!你怎么啦?为什么你把眼睛睁视着虚无,向空中喃喃说话?你的眼睛里射出狂乱的神情;像熟睡的兵士突然听到警号一般,你的整齐的头发一根根都像有了生命似的竖立起来。啊,好儿子!在你的疯狂的热焰上,浇洒一些清凉的镇静吧!你瞧什么?
哈姆莱特 他,他!您瞧,他的脸色多么惨淡!看见了他这一种形状,要是再知道他所负的沉冤,即使石块也会感动的。——不要瞧着我,免得你那种可怜的神气反会妨碍我的冷酷的决心;也许我会因此而失去勇气,让挥泪代替了流血。
王后 你这番话是对谁说的?
哈姆莱特 您没有看见什么吗?
王后 什么也没有:要是有什么东西在那边,我不会看不见的。
哈姆莱特 您也没有听见什么吗?
王后 不,除了我们两人的说话以外,我什么也没有听见。
哈姆莱特 啊,您瞧!瞧,它悄悄地去了!我的父亲,穿着他生前所穿的衣服!瞧!瞧!他就在这一刻,从门口走出去了!(鬼魂下。)
王后 这是你脑中虚构的意象;一个人在心神恍惚之中,最容易发生这种幻妄的错觉。
哈姆莱特 心神恍惚!我的脉搏跟您的一样,在按着正常的节奏跳动哩。我所说的并不是疯话;要是您不信,不防试试,我可以把话一字不漏地复述一遍,一个疯人是不会记忆得那样清楚的。母亲,为了上帝的慈悲,不要自己安慰自己,以为我这一番说话,只是出于疯狂,不是真的对您的过失而发;那样的思想不过是骗人的油膏,只能使您溃烂的良心上结起一层薄膜,那内部的毒疮却在底下愈长愈大。向上天承认您的罪恶吧,忏悔过去,警戒未来;不要把肥料浇在莠草上,使它们格外蔓延起来。原谅我这一番正义的劝告;因为在这种万恶的时世,正义必须向罪恶乞恕,它必须俯首屈膝,要求人家接纳他的善意的箴规。
王后 啊,哈姆莱特!你把我的心劈为两半了!
哈姆莱特 啊!把那坏的一半丢掉,保留那另外的一半,让您的灵魂清净一些。晚安!可是不要上我叔父的床;即使您已经失节,也得勉力学做一个贞节妇人的样子。习惯虽然是一个可以使人失去羞耻的魔鬼,但是它也可以做一个天使,对于勉力为善的人,它会用潜移默化的手段,使他徙恶从善。您要是今天晚上自加抑制,下一次就会觉得这一种自制的功夫并不怎样为难,慢慢地就可以习以为常了;因为习惯简直有一种改变气质的神奇的力量,它可以制服魔鬼,并且把他从人们心里驱逐出去。让我再向您道一次晚安;当您希望得到上天祝福的时候,我将求您祝福我。至于这一位老人家,(指波洛涅斯)我很后悔自己一时卤莽把他杀死;可是这是上天的意思,要借着他的死惩罚我,同时借着我的手处罚他,使我成为代天行刑的凶器和使者。我现在先去把他的尸体安顿好了,再来承担这个杀人的过咎。晚安!为了顾全母子的恩慈,我不得不忍情暴戾;不幸已经开始,更大的灾祸还在接踵而至。再有一句话,母亲。
王后 我应当怎么做?
哈姆莱特 我不能禁止您不再让那肥猪似的僭王引诱您和他同床,让他拧您的脸,叫您做他的小耗子;我也不能禁止您因为他给了您一两个恶臭的吻,或是用他万恶的手指抚摩您的颈项,就把您所知道的事情一起说了出来,告诉他我实在是装疯,不是真疯。您应该让他知道的;因为哪一个美貌聪明懂事的王后,愿意隐藏着这样重大的消息,不去告诉一只蛤蟆、一只蝙蝠、一只老雄猫知道呢?不,虽然理性警告您保守秘密,您尽管学那寓言中的猴子,因为受了好奇心的驱使,到屋顶上去开了笼门,把鸟儿放走,自己钻进笼里去,结果连笼子一起掉下来跌死吧。
王后 你放心吧,要是言语来自呼吸,呼吸来自生命,只要我一息犹存,就决不会让我的呼吸泄漏了你对我所说的话。
哈姆莱特 我必须到英国去;您知道吗?
王后 唉!我忘了;这事情已经这样决定了。
哈姆莱特 公文已经封好,打算交给我那两个同学带去,对这两个家伙我要像对待两条咬人的毒蛇一样随时提防;他们将要做我的先驱,引导我钻进什么圈套里去。我倒要瞧瞧他们的能耐。开炮的要是给炮轰了,也是一件好玩的事;他们会埋地雷,我要比他们埋得更深,把他们轰到月亮里去。啊!用诡计对付诡计,不是顶有趣的吗?这家伙一死,多半会提早了我的行期;让我把这尸体拖到隔壁去。母亲,晚安!这一位大臣生前是个愚蠢饶舌的家伙,现在却变成非常谨严庄重的人了。来,老先生,该是收场的时候了。晚安,母亲!

Scene Four
The Queen's closet

[Enter QUEEN MARGARET and POLONIUS]
LORD POLONIUS
He will come straight.look you lay home to him:
Tell him his prankshave been too broad to bear with
And that you grace hath screen'd and stood between
Much heat and him.I>ll sconceme even here.
Pary you,be round with him.
HAMLET
[Within]Mother,mother,mother!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
I>ll warrantyou,
Fear me not:withdraw,I hear him coming.
[POLONIUS hides behind the arras]
[Enter HAMLET]
HAMLET
Now,mother,what's the matter?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Hamlet,thou hastthyfather much offended.
HAMLET
Mother,you have my father much offended.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Come,come,you answer with an idletongue.
HAMLET
Go,go,you question with a wickedtongue.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Why,how now,Hamlet!
HAMLET
What's the matter now?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Have you forgot me?
HAMLET
No,by the rood,not so:
You are the queen,your husband's brother's wife;
And——would it were not so!——you are my mother.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Nay,then,I>ll set those to you that can speak.
HAMLET
Come,come,and sit you down;you shall not budge;
You go not till I set you up a glass
Where you may see the inmostpart of you.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
What wiltthou do?thou wilt not murder me?
Help,help,ho!
LORD POLONIUS
[Behind]What,ho!help,help,help!
HAMLET
[Drawing]How now!a rat?Dead,for a ducat,dead!
[Makes a pass through the arras]
LORD POLONIUS
[Behind]O,I am slain!
[Falls and dies]
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O me,what hast thou done?
HAMLET
Nay,I know not:
Is it the king?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O,what a rashand bloody deed is this!
HAMLET
A bloody deed!almost as bad,good mother,
As kill a king,and marry with his brother.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
As kill a king!
HAMLET
Ay,lady,>twasmy word.
Lifts up the arrayand discovers
POLONIUS
Thou wretched,rash,intrudingfool,farewell!
I took thee for thy better:take thy fortune;
Thou find'stto be too busy is some danger.
Leave wringingof your hands:peace!sit you down,
And let me wring your heart;for so I shall,
If it be made of penetrablestuff,
If damned custom have not brass'dit so
That it is proof and bulwarkagainst sense.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
What have I done,that thou darest wagthy tongue
In noise so rude against me?
HAMLET
Such an act
That blursthe grace and blushof modesty,
Calls virtue hypocrite,takes off the rose
From the fair forehead of an innocentlove
And sets a blisterthere,makes marriage-vows
As false as dicers>oaths:O,such a deed
As from the body of contractionplucks
The very soul,and sweet religion makes
A rhapsodyof words:heaven's face doth glow:
Yea,this solidity and compound mass,
With tristfulvisage,as against the doom,
Is thought-sick at the act.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Ay me,what act,
That roarsso loud,and thundersin the index?
HAMLET
book here,upon this picture,and on this,
The counterfeitpresentment of two brothers.
See,what a grace was seated on this brow;
Hyperion'scurls;the frontof Jovehimself;
An eye like Mars,to threaten and command;
A station like the heraldMercury
New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill;
A combination and a form indeed,
Where every god did seem to set his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man:
This was your husband.Look you now,what follows:
Here is your husband;like a mildew'dear,
Blastinghis wholesomebrother.Have you eyes?
Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed,
And battenon this moor?Ha!have you eyes?
You cannot call it love;for at your age
The hey-dayin the blood is tame,it's humble,
And waits upon the judgment:and what judgment
Would step from this to this?Sense,sure,you have,
Else could you not have motion;but sure,that sense
Is apoplex'd;for madness would not err,
Nor sense to ecstasywas ne>erso thrall'd
But it reserved some quantity of choice,
To serve in such a difference.What devilwas>t
That thus hath cozen'dyou at hoodman-blind?
Eyes without feeling,feeling without sight,
Ears without hands or eyes,smelling sansall,
Or but a sickly part of one true sense
Could not so mope.
O shame!where is thy blush?Rebellioushell,
If thou canstmutinein a matron'sbones,
To flaming youth let virtue be as wax,
And melt in her own fire:proclaimno shame
When the compulsiveardourgives the charge,
Since frostitself as actively doth burn
And reason panders will.
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O Hamlet,speak no more:
Thou turn'stmine eyes into my very soul;
And there I see such black and grainedspots
As will not leave their tinct.
HAMLET
Nay,but to live
In the ranksweat of an enseamedbed,
Stew'din corruption,honeying and making love
Over the nastysty,——
QUEEN GERTRUDE
O,speak to me no more;
These words,like daggers,enter in mine ears;
No more,sweet Hamlet!
HAMLET
A murderer and a villain;
A slave that is not twentieth part the tithe
Of your precedentlord;a viceof kings;
A cutpurseof the empire and the rule,
That from a shelf the precious diademstole,
And put it in his pocket!
QUEEN GERTRUDE
No more!
HAMLET
A king of shredsand patches,——
[Enter Ghost]
Save me,and hovero>erme with your wings,
You heavenly guards!What would your gracious figure?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Alas,he's mad!
HAMLET
Do you not come your tardyson to chide,
That,lapsedin time and passion,lets go by
The important acting of your dread command?O,say!
Ghost
Do not forget:this visitation
Is but to whetthy almost bluntedpurpose.
But,look,amazement on thy mother sits:
O,step between her and her fighting soul:
Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works:
Speak to her,Hamlet.
HAMLET
How is it with you,lady?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Alas,how is>t with you,
That you do bend your eye on vacancy
And with the incorporalair do hold discourse?
Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep;
And,as the sleeping soldiers in the alarm,
Your beddedhair,like life in excrements,
Starts up,and stands on end.O gentle son,
Upon the heat and flame of thy distemper
Sprinklecool patience.Whereondo you look?
HAMLET
On him,on him!Look you,how pale he glares!
His form and cause conjoin'd,preachingto stones,
Would make them capable.Do not look upon me;
Lestwith this piteousaction you convert
My sterneffects:then what I have to do
Will want true colour;tears perchancefor blood.

Nothing at all;yet all that is I see.

Mother,good night.Indeed this counsellor

Who was in life a foolish prating knave.
Come,sir,to draw toward an end with you.
Good night,mother.

哈姆莱特 嗯,母亲,我正是这样说。(揭帏见波洛涅斯)你这倒运的、粗心的、爱管闲事的傻瓜,再会!我还以为是一个在你上面的人哩。也是你命不该活;现在你可知道爱管闲事的危险了。——别尽扭着你的手。静一静,坐下来,让我扭你的心;你的心倘不是铁石打成的,万恶的习惯倘不曾把它硬化得透不进一点感情,那么我的话一定可以把它刺痛。
王后 我干了些什么错事,你竟敢这样肆无忌惮地向我摇唇弄舌?
哈姆莱特 你的行为可以使贞节蒙污,使美德得到了伪善的名称;从纯洁的恋情的额上取下娇艳的蔷薇,替它盖上一个烙印;使婚姻的盟约变成博徒的誓言一样虚伪;啊!这样一种行为,简真使盟约成为一个没有灵魂的躯壳,神圣的婚礼变成一串谵妄的狂言;苍天的脸上也为它带上羞色,大地因为痛心这样的行为,也罩上满面的愁容,好像世界末日就要到来一般。
王后 唉!究竟是什么极恶重罪,你把它说得这样惊人呢?
哈姆莱特 瞧这一幅图画,再瞧这一幅;这是两个兄弟的肖像。你看这一个的相貌多么高雅优美;太阳神的鬈发,天神的前额,像战神一样威风凛凛的眼睛,像降落在高吻穹苍的山巅的神使一样矫健的姿态;这一个完善卓越的仪表,真像每一个天神都曾在那上面打下印记,向世间证明这是一个男子的典型。这是你从前的丈夫。现在你再看这一个:这是你现在丈夫,像一株霉烂的禾穗,损害了他的健硕的兄弟。你有眼睛吗?你甘心离开这一座大好的高山,靠着这荒野生活吗?嘿!你有眼睛吗?你不能说那是爱情,因为在你的年纪,热情已经冷淡下来,变驯服了,肯听从理智的判断;什么理智愿意从这么高的地方,降落到这么低的所在呢?知觉你当然是有的,否则你就不会有行动;可是你那知觉也一定已经麻木了;因为就是疯人也不会犯那样的错误,无论怎样丧心病狂,总不会连这样悬殊的差异都分辨不出来。那么是什么魔鬼蒙住了你的眼睛,把你这样欺骗呢?有眼睛而没有触觉、有触觉而没有视觉、有耳朵而没有眼或手、只有嗅觉而别的什么都没有,甚至只剩下一种官觉还出了毛病,也不会糊涂到你这步田地。羞啊!你不觉得惭愧吗?要是地狱中的孽火可以在一个中年妇人的骨髓里煽起了蠢动,那么在青春的烈焰中,让贞操像蜡一样融化了吧。当无法阻遏的情欲大举进攻的时候,用不着喊什么羞耻了,因为霜雪都会自动燃烧,理智都会做情欲的奴隶呢。
王后 啊,哈姆莱特!不要说下去了!你使我的眼睛看进了我自己灵魂的深处,看见我灵魂里那些洗拭不去的黑色的污点。
哈姆莱特 嘿,生活在汗臭垢腻的眠床上,让淫邪熏没了心窍,在污秽的猪圈里调情弄爱——
王后 啊,不要再对我说下去了!这些话像刀子一样戳进我的耳朵里;不要说下去了,亲爱的哈姆莱特!
哈姆莱特 一个杀人犯、一个恶徒、一个不及你前夫二百分之一的庸奴、一个冒充国王的丑角、一个盗国窃位的扒手,从架子上偷下那顶珍贵的王冠,塞在自己的腰包里!
王后 别说了!
哈姆莱特 一个下流褴褛的国王——
鬼魂上。
哈姆莱特 天上的神明啊,救救我,用你们的翅膀覆盖我的头顶!——陛下英灵不昧,有什么见教?
王后 嗳哟,他疯了!
哈姆莱特 您不是来责备您的儿子不该消磨时间和热情,把您煌煌的命令搁在一旁,耽误了应该做的大事吗?啊,说吧!
鬼魂 不要忘记。我现在是来磨砺你的快要蹉蛇下去的决心。可是瞧!你的母亲那副惊愕的表情。啊,快去安慰安慰她的正在交战中的灵魂吧!最柔弱的人最容易受幻想的激动。去对她说话,哈姆莱特。
哈姆莱特 您怎么啦,母亲?
王后 唉!你怎么啦?为什么你把眼睛睁视着虚无,向空中喃喃说话?你的眼睛里射出狂乱的神情;像熟睡的兵士突然听到警号一般,你的整齐的头发一根根都像有了生命似的竖立起来。啊,好儿子!在你的疯狂的热焰上,浇洒一些清凉的镇静吧!你瞧什么?
哈姆莱特 他,他!您瞧,他的脸色多么惨淡!看见了他这一种形状,要是再知道他所负的沉冤,即使石块也会感动的。——不要瞧着我,免得你那种可怜的神气反会妨碍我的冷酷的决心;也许我会因此而失去勇气,让挥泪代替了流血。
王后 你这番话是对谁说的?
哈姆莱特 您没有看见什么吗?
王后 什么也没有:要是有什么东西在那边,我不会看不见的。
哈姆莱特 您也没有听见什么吗?
王后 不,除了我们两人的说话以外,我什么也没有听见。
哈姆莱特 啊,您瞧!瞧,它悄悄地去了!我的父亲,穿着他生前所穿的衣服!瞧!瞧!他就在这一刻,从门口走出去了!(鬼魂下。)
王后 这是你脑中虚构的意象;一个人在心神恍惚之中,最容易发生这种幻妄的错觉。
哈姆莱特 心神恍惚!我的脉搏跟您的一样,在按着正常的节奏跳动哩。我所说的并不是疯话;要是您不信,不防试试,我可以把话一字不漏地复述一遍,一个疯人是不会记忆得那样清楚的。母亲,为了上帝的慈悲,不要自己安慰自己,以为我这一番说话,只是出于疯狂,不是真的对您的过失而发;那样的思想不过是骗人的油膏,只能使您溃烂的良心上结起一层薄膜,那内部的毒疮却在底下愈长愈大。向上天承认您的罪恶吧,忏悔过去,警戒未来;不要把肥料浇在莠草上,使它们格外蔓延起来。原谅我这一番正义的劝告;因为在这种万恶的时世,正义必须向罪恶乞恕,它必须俯首屈膝,要求人家接纳他的善意的箴规。
王后 啊,哈姆莱特!你把我的心劈为两半了!
哈姆莱特 啊!把那坏的一半丢掉,保留那另外的一半,让您的灵魂清净一些。晚安!可是不要上我叔父的床;即使您已经失节,也得勉力学做一个贞节妇人的样子。习惯虽然是一个可以使人失去羞耻的魔鬼,但是它也可以做一个天使,对于勉力为善的人,它会用潜移默化的手段,使他徙恶从善。您要是今天晚上自加抑制,下一次就会觉得这一种自制的功夫并不怎样为难,慢慢地就可以习以为常了;因为习惯简直有一种改变气质的神奇的力量,它可以制服魔鬼,并且把他从人们心里驱逐出去。让我再向您道一次晚安;当您希望得到上天祝福的时候,我将求您祝福我。至于这一位老人家,(指波洛涅斯)我很后悔自己一时卤莽把他杀死;可是这是上天的意思,要借着他的死惩罚我,同时借着我的手处罚他,使我成为代天行刑的凶器和使者。我现在先去把他的尸体安顿好了,再来承担这个杀人的过咎。晚安!为了顾全母子的恩慈,我不得不忍情暴戾;不幸已经开始,更大的灾祸还在接踵而至。再有一句话,母亲。
王后 我应当怎么做?
哈姆莱特 我不能禁止您不再让那肥猪似的僭王引诱您和他同床,让他拧您的脸,叫您做他的小耗子;我也不能禁止您因为他给了您一两个恶臭的吻,或是用他万恶的手指抚摩您的颈项,就把您所知道的事情一起说了出来,告诉他我实在是装疯,不是真疯。您应该让他知道的;因为哪一个美貌聪明懂事的王后,愿意隐藏着这样重大的消息,不去告诉一只蛤蟆、一只蝙蝠、一只老雄猫知道呢?不,虽然理性警告您保守秘密,您尽管学那寓言中的猴子,因为受了好奇心的驱使,到屋顶上去开了笼门,把鸟儿放走,自己钻进笼里去,结果连笼子一起掉下来跌死吧。
王后 你放心吧,要是言语来自呼吸,呼吸来自生命,只要我一息犹存,就决不会让我的呼吸泄漏了你对我所说的话。
哈姆莱特 我必须到英国去;您知道吗?
王后 唉!我忘了;这事情已经这样决定了。
哈姆莱特 公文已经封好,打算交给我那两个同学带去,对这两个家伙我要像对待两条咬人的毒蛇一样随时提防;他们将要做我的先驱,引导我钻进什么圈套里去。我倒要瞧瞧他们的能耐。开炮的要是给炮轰了,也是一件好玩的事;他们会埋地雷,我要比他们埋得更深,把他们轰到月亮里去。啊!用诡计对付诡计,不是顶有趣的吗?这家伙一死,多半会提早了我的行期;让我把这尸体拖到隔壁去。母亲,晚安!这一位大臣生前是个愚蠢饶舌的家伙,现在却变成非常谨严庄重的人了。来,老先生,该是收场的时候了。晚安,母亲!

Scene One
A room in the castle.

[Enter KING CLAUDIUS,QUEEN GERTRUDE,ROSENCRANTZ,and GUILDENSTERN]
KING CLAUDIUS
There's matter in these sighs,these profound heaves:
You must translate:>tis fit we understand them.
Where is your son?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Bestow this place on us a little while.
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
Ah,my good lord,what have I seen to-night!
KING CLAUDIUS
What,Gertrude?How does Hamlet?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
Mad as the sea and wind,when both contend
Which is the mightier:in his lawless fit,
Behind the arrashearing something stir,
Whipsout his rapier,cries,>A rat,a rat!>
And,in this brainishapprehension,kills
The unseen good old man.
KING CLAUDIUS
O heavy deed!
It had been so with us,bad we been there:
His liberty is full of threats to all;
To you yourself,to us,to every one.
Alas,how shall this bloody deed be answer'd?
It will be laid to us,whose providence
Should have kept short,restrain'd and out of haunt,
This mad young man:but so much was our love,
We would not understand what was most fit;
But,like the owner of a foul disease,
To keep it fron divulging,let it feed
Even on the pithof Life.Where is he gone?
QUEEN GERTRUDE
To draw apart the body he hath kill'd:
O>er whom his very madness,like some ore
Among a mineral of metals base,
Shows itself pure;he weeps for what is done.
KING CLAUDIUS
O Gertrude,come away!
The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch,
But we will ship him hence:and this viledeed
We must,with all our majesty and skill,
Both countenanceand excuse.Ho,Guildenstern!
[Re-enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
Friends both,go join you with some further aid:
Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain,
And from his mother's closet hath he dragg'd him:
Go seek him out;speak fair,and bring the body
Into the chapel.I pray you,haste in this.
[Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN]
Come,Gertrude,we>ll call up our wisest friends;
And let them know,both what we mean to do,
And what's untimelydone
Whose whispero>er the world's diameter,
As level as the cannon to his blank,
Transports his poison'd shot,may missour name,
And hit the woundless air.O,come away!
My soul is full of discordand dismay.


第一场 城堡中一室


国王、王后、罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞上。
国王 这些长吁短叹之中,都含着深长的意义,你必须明说出来,让我知道。你的儿子呢?
王后 (向罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞)请你们暂时退开。(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞下)啊,陛下!今晚我看见了多么惊人的事情!
国王 什么,乔特鲁德?哈姆莱特怎么啦?
王后 疯狂得像彼此争强斗胜的天风和海浪一样。在他野性发作的时候,他听见帏幕后而有什么东西爬动的声音,就拔出剑来,嚷着,“有耗子!有耗子!”于是在一阵疯狂的恐惧之中,把那躲在幕后的好老人家杀死了。
国王 啊,罪过罪过!要是我在那儿,我也会照样死在他手里的;放任他这样胡作非为,对于你、对于我、对于每一个人,都是极大的威胁。唉!这一件流血的暴行应当由谁负责呢?我是不能辞其咎的,因为我早该防患未然,把这个发疯的孩子关禁起来,不让他到处乱走;可是我太爱他了,以至于不愿想一个适当的方策,正像一个害着恶疮的人,因为不让它出毒的缘故,弄到毒气攻心,无法救治一样。他到哪儿去了?
王后 拖着那个被他杀死的尸体出去了。像一堆下贱的铅铁,掩不了真金的光彩一样,他知道他自己做错了事,他的纯良的本性就从他的疯狂里透露出来,他哭了。
国王 啊,乔特鲁德!来!太阳一到了山上,我就赶紧让他登船出发。对于这一件罪恶的行为,我只有尽量利用我的威权和手腕,替他掩饰过去。喂!吉尔登斯吞!
罗森格兰兹及吉尔登斯吞重上。
国王 两位朋友,你们去多找几个人帮忙。哈姆莱特在疯狂之中,已经把波洛涅斯杀死;他现在把尸体从他母亲的房间里拖出去了。你们去找他来,对他说话要和气一点,再把那尸体搬到教堂里去。请你们快去把这件事情办好。(罗森格兰兹、吉尔登斯吞下)来,乔特鲁德,我要去召集我那些最有见识的朋友们,把我的决定和这一件意外的变故告诉他们,免得外边无稽的谰言牵涉到我身上,它的毒箭从低声的密语中间散放出去,是像弹丸从炮口射出去一样每发必中的,现在我们这样做后,它或许会落空了。啊,来吧!我的灵魂里充满着混乱和惊愕。
