编者按：今年是莎士比亚逝世400周年。1616年4月23日，莎翁在埃文河畔斯特拉特福去世，享年52岁。本期内容，我们来看看莎士比亚作品中出现过的至理名言、妙趣短语、甚至犀利吐槽，向字里行间的莎翁致敬。先来听一段莎士比亚著名的十四行诗吧。

SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
我怎么能够将你比作夏天？你比夏天更美丽温婉。
狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残，夏日的勾留何其短暂。
休恋那烈日当空，转眼会云雾迷蒙；
休叹那百花凋零，摧折于无常天命；
唯有你永恒的夏日长新，你的美貌亦毫发无损。
死神也无缘将你幽禁，你在我永恒的诗中长存。
只要世间尚有人吟诵我的诗篇，这诗就将不朽，永葆你的芳颜。

诗文朗读：

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts...

——William Shakespeare, "As You Like It"

世界是一个舞台，所有的男男女女不过是一些演员，他们都有下场的时候，也都有上场的时候。一个人的一生中扮演着好几个角色。

——《皆大欢喜》

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

——William Shakespeare, "As You Like It"

愚者自以为聪明，智者则有自知之明。

——《皆大欢喜》

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;for loan oft loses both itself and friend.

——William Shakespeare, "Hamlet"

不要向人借钱，也不要借钱给人；借钱出去，常常既丢了钱，也丢了朋友。

——《哈姆雷特》

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

——William Shakespeare, "Hamlet"

世上之事物本无善恶之分,思想使然。

——《哈姆雷特》

Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.

——William Shakespeare, "Measure for Measure"

有些人因罪恶而升迁，有些人因德行而没落。

——《一报还一报》

Green-Eyed Monster: 嫉妒

How Shakespeare used it:

The evil Iago plants doubts in Othello's mind about his wife's faithfulness, while advising him, "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock / The meat it feeds on." (Othello)

莎士比亚原文：邪恶的伊阿古让奥赛罗对妻子的忠心起了疑心，提醒他说，“噢，大人，要小心嫉妒之心！那可是一只绿眼的妖魔，它惯于耍弄爪下的猎物。”(《奥赛罗》)

In a Pickle: 处于困境

How Shakespeare used it:

This phrase has more than one meaning: we overlook flaws in those we love (that's good)， but love can blind us to serious issues (that's bad)。

这个短语的意思是：我们会忽略我们爱的人身上的缺点(这点不错)；爱会让我们忽视一些严重的问题(这就不好了)。

Love Is Blind: 爱是盲目的

How Shakespeare used it:

In The Tempest, King Alonso asks his jester, Trinculo, "How camest thou in this pickle?" And the drunk Trinculo – who has indeed gotten into trouble – responds "I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last ..."

莎士比亚原文：在《暴风雨》中，那不勒斯国王阿朗索问他的弄臣特林鸠罗，“你怎么让自己到这般境地了？”的确深陷困境且已烂醉的特林鸠罗回答说：“我自从上次参见过您之后就一直处于这般境地了…”

Salad Days: 一个人的青春年少时光

How Shakespeare used it:

In Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra recalls her relationship with Julius Caesar that occurred during, "My salad days, / When I was green in judgment...."

莎士比亚原文：在《安东尼与克莉奥佩特拉》中，克莉奥佩特拉回忆起她与凯撒的那一段感情在“我青春年少的时光，我还不太会看人的时候…”

Cruel to Be Kind: 要想善良，必先残忍

How Shakespeare used it:

"I must be cruel only to be kind; / Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind," says the tormented Hamlet. He has just mistakenly killed Polonius, and it's clear that he doesn't know how bad things are going to get. (Hamlet)

饱受折磨的哈姆雷特说：“要想善良，必先残忍，坏事开了头，更糟糕的还在后面。”他刚刚误杀了波洛尼厄斯，而且很明显他根本不知道事情会糟糕到什么程度。(《哈姆雷特》）
