源自莎士比亚作品的10个常用短语

6. There's the Rub: 这就是问题所在

How Shakespeare used it:

In Hamlet's famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy, "ay, there's the rub" is the tormented prince's acknowledgement that death may not end his difficulties because the dead may perhaps still be troubled by dreams. (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1)

莎士比亚原文：在《哈姆雷特》那句著名的“生存或者死亡”独白中，“唉，这就是问题所在”表示饱受折磨的王子认识到，死亡并不能结束他的痛苦，因为死人可能仍然会被梦境困扰。（《哈姆雷特》，第3幕第1场）

现代例句：

"There's the rub. What does a progressive institution like Smith [College] do when Barbara decides to become Bert? It's a problem." — Roger Kimball, The New Criterion, May 2005
