第十二夜(莎士比亚全集·英汉双语本)
Twelfth Night, or What You Will
莎翁四大喜剧之一——不断上演奇遇和惊喜,富有青春浪漫气息。
‘What is love?’ asks Feste the clown in one of his songs. It is a very old question. One of the most influential answers to it comes from ancient Greece in the imaginary voice of the comic dramatist Aristophanes in Plato’s dialogue the Symposium. Love, says Aristophanes, is a quest, a journey in search of our lost other half.
《第十二夜》讲述了西巴斯辛和薇奥拉这对孪生兄妹遭受海难之后,经过一番曲折重逢的故事。
Viola and her twin brother Sebastian have been shipwrecked off the coast of Illyria. Each believes that the other has been drowned.Viola disguises herself as a boy and, under the name of Cesario, enters the service of the duke Orsino.The duke sends Cesario to woo the lady Olivia on his behalf, but Olivia falls in love with the lovely ‘boy’.Viola/Cesario, meanwhile, has fallen in love with Orsino. and he too arrives in Illyria.Olivia meets Sebastian and, mistaking him for Cesario, arranges for them to be secretly married. Further confusion follows upon mistakes as to the identity of the twins.
奥西诺:若音乐是爱情的食粮,奏吧,
多多给我奏响,直到过量,
欲望才会腻烦,才会死亡。
那首曲子再来一遍,它调子渐消。
啊,如天籁掠过我的耳旁,
吹拂着一片紫罗兰,
窃来又送出芳香。够了,停!
现在已不如原先动听。
音乐止
啊,爱情,你那么活泼有生机,
尽管你的容量
像大海一样。沦陷其中的万物,
无论再珍贵高档,
无不瞬间贬值缩水。
因此爱情变幻多端,
它本身就有很多花样。
ORSINO : If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it, that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.
That strain again, it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour. Enough, no more,
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
Music stops
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou
That, notwithstanding thy capacity,
Receiveth as the sea. Nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute. So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.
