莎士比亚全集㈤

亨利五世里面的经典段落，Battle of Agincourt，英军5900站法军36000，基本上是1比6，英国的长弓手发挥优势，法军损失了5000贵族。有尊严又爱美的骑士太过于看重自己的盔甲，导致上战场穿的太厚（只露出两个眼睛。），正巧遇上泥泞的路，一但坠落下马，倒也不知道是被前面的英军戳死，还是被后面上来的士兵踩死的←_←。前面是英军的5000长弓手，基本不能靠近。即使近前，也会被为长弓手作掩护的徒步骑士直接戳死，真是太悲剧了，每每看到此处我的情不自禁的，噗~o(*≧▽≦)ツ┍ 英文： KING HENRY V What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin: If we are mark'd to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England: God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more, methinks, would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember'd; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day. 注：克里斯宾节（St.Crispin's Day），在十月二十五日。

记得我国古代的大文豪苏轼调戏僧人，人家心中有佛，所以看他是佛；他后来被苏小妹讥讽心中是屎，所以看人家是屎。同典，席勒也说过类似的，不要带着有屎的眼光去看待他的作品。所以，尽管脑中不全是屎，但我仍旧在这段摘抄里面看到一些不得了的东西。这段话没什么营养，就不放英文了吧。

（我的版本实际上是84年版的，不知和91年版是否有很大的差别。） 之所以摘这一段，是因为想起上课的时候老师举过的一个例子。前因后果我已经记不真切了，但是我记得他当时以莎翁为例，说莎翁笔下文字也许多少能反映那个时候的人即使是骂人也可以骂的非常花哨。当然这里绝不是任何贬低莎翁的意思，只是可能会存在这样一种反差，骂人骂的非常花哨。我读到此处，便着实感到有趣了。贴一段英文来加强这种有趣的反差感吧。 PRINCE HENRY I'll be no longer guilty of this sin; this sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker, this huge hill of flesh,-- FALSTAFF 'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O for breath to utter what is like thee! you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile standing-tuck,--

擦，太奇葩了。被发现叛国还如此厚脸皮，假装自己很忠诚的样子。
