威尼斯商人

飘泊

夏洛克        我一定要照約實行；你倘然想推翻這一張契約，那還是請你免開尊口的好。我已經發過誓，非得照約實行不可。你曾經無緣無故罵我狗，既然我是狗，那么你可留心著我的狗牙齒吧。公爵一定會給我主持公道的。你這糊涂的獄官，我真不懂你老是會答應他的請求，陪著他到外邊來。
安東尼奧        請你听我說。

飘泊

SHYLOCK

    I'll have my bond; I will not hear thee speak:
    I'll have my bond; and therefore speak no more.
    I'll not be made a soft and dull-eyed fool,
    To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield
    To Christian intercessors. Follow not;
    I'll have no speaking: I will have my bond.

    Exit

SALARINO

    It is the most impenetrable cur
    That ever kept with men.

ANTONIO

    Let him alone:
    I'll follow him no more with bootless prayers.
    He seeks my life; his reason well I know:
    I oft deliver'd from his forfeitures
    Many that have at times made moan to me;
    Therefore he hates me.

飘泊

夏洛克        我一定要照約實行，不要听你講什么鬼話；我一定要照約實行，所以請你閉嘴吧。我不像那些軟心腸流眼淚的傻瓜們一樣，听了基督徒的几句勸告，就會搖頭歎气，懊悔屈服。別跟著我，我不要听你說話，我要照約實行。（下。）
薩拉里諾        這是人世間一頭最頑固的惡狗。
安東尼奧        別理他；我也不愿再費無益的唇舌向他哀求了。他要的是我的命，我也知道他的原因。有好多次，人家落在他手里，還不出錢來，弄得走投無路，跑來向我呼吁，是我幫助他們解除他的壓迫，所以他才恨我。

飘泊

SALARINO

    I am sure the duke
    Will never grant this forfeiture to hold.

ANTONIO

    The duke cannot deny the course of law:
    For the commodity that strangers have
    With us in Venice, if it be denied,
    Will much impeach the justice of his state;
    Since that the trade and profit of the city
    Consisteth of all nations. Therefore, go:
    These griefs and losses have so bated me,
    That I shall hardly spare a pound of flesh
    To-morrow to my bloody creditor.
    Well, gaoler, on. Pray God, Bassanio come
    To see me pay his debt, and then I care not!

    Exeunt

飘泊

薩拉里諾        我相信公爵一定不會允許他執行這一种處罰。
安東尼奧        公爵不能變更法律的規定，因為威尼斯的繁榮，完全倚賴著各國人民的來往通商，要是剝奪了异邦人應享的權利，一定會使人對威尼斯的法治精神發生重大的怀疑。去吧，這些不如意的事情，已經把我攪得心力交瘁，我怕到明天身上也許剩不滿一磅肉來，償還我這位不怕血腥气的債主了。獄官，走吧。求上帝，讓巴薩尼奧來親眼看見我替他還債，我就死而無怨了！（同下。）

Act 3, Scene 4

SCENE IV. Belmont. A room in PORTIA'S house.

    Enter PORTIA, NERISSA, LORENZO, JESSICA, and BALTHASAR

飘泊

第四場　貝爾蒙特。鮑西婭家中一室

　        　　　鮑西婭、尼莉莎、羅蘭佐、杰西卡及鮑爾薩澤上。

飘泊

LORENZO

    Madam, although I speak it in your presence,
    You have a noble and a true conceit
    Of godlike amity; which appears most strongly
    In bearing thus the absence of your lord.
    But if you knew to whom you show this honour,
    How true a gentleman you send relief,
    How dear a lover of my lord your husband,
    I know you would be prouder of the work
    Than customary bounty can enforce you.

飘泊

羅蘭佐        夫人，不是我當面恭維您，您的确有一顆高貴真誠、不同凡俗的仁愛的心；尤其像這次敦促尊夫就道，宁愿割舍儿女的私情，這一种精神毅力，真令人万分欽佩。可是您倘使知道受到您這种好意的是個什么人，您所救援的是怎樣一個正直的君子，他對于尊夫的交情又是怎樣深摯，我相信您一定會格外因為做了這一件好事而自傲，一件尋常的善舉可不能讓您得到那么大的快樂。

飘泊

PORTIA

    I never did repent for doing good,
    Nor shall not now: for in companions
    That do converse and waste the time together,
    Whose souls do bear an equal yoke Of love,
    There must be needs a like proportion
    Of lineaments, of manners and of spirit;
    Which makes me think that this Antonio,
    Being the bosom lover of my lord,
    Must needs be like my lord. If it be so,
    How little is the cost I have bestow'd
    In purchasing the semblance of my soul
    From out the state of hellish misery!
    This comes too near the praising of myself;
    Therefore no more of it: hear other things.
    Lorenzo, I commit into your hands
    The husbandry and manage of my house
    Until my lord's return: for mine own part,
    I have toward heaven breathed a secret vow
    To live in prayer and contemplation,
    Only attended by Nerissa here,
    Until her husband and my lord's return:
    There is a monastery two miles off;
    And there will we abide. I do desire you
    Not to deny this imposition;
    The which my love and some necessity
    Now lays upon you.
