尼莉莎        我們要讓他們看見我們嗎？
鮑西婭        他們將會看見我們，尼莉莎，可是我們要打扮得叫他們認不出我們的本來面目。我可以拿無論什么東西跟你打賭，要是我們都扮成了少年男子，我一定比你漂亮點儿，帶起刀子來也比你格外神气點儿；我會沙著喉嚨講話，就像一個正在發育的男孩子一樣；我會把兩個姍姍細步并成一個男人家的闊步；我會學著那些愛吹牛的哥儿們的樣子，談論一些擊劍比武的玩意儿，再隨口編造些巧妙的謊話，什么誰家的千金小姐愛上了我啦，我不接受她的好意，她害起病來死啦，我怎么心中不忍，后悔不該害了人家的性命啦，以及二十個諸如此類的無關緊要的謊話，人家听見了，一定以為我走出學校的門還不滿一年。這些愛吹牛的娃娃們的鬼花樣儿我有一千种在腦袋里，都可以搬出來應用。

NERISSA

    Why, shall we turn to men?

PORTIA

    Fie, what a question's that,
    If thou wert near a lewd interpreter!
    But come, I'll tell thee all my whole device
    When I am in my coach, which stays for us
    At the park gate; and therefore haste away,
    For we must measure twenty miles to-day.

    Exeunt

尼莉莎        怎么，我們要扮成男人嗎？
鮑西婭        為什么不？來，車子在林苑門口等著我們；我們上了車，我可以把我的整個計划一路告訴你。快去吧，今天我們要赶二十哩路呢。（同下。）

Act 3, Scene 5

SCENE V. The same. A garden.

    Enter LAUNCELOT and JESSICA

飘泊

第五場　同前。花園

　        　　　朗斯洛特及杰西卡上。

飘泊

LAUNCELOT

    Yes, truly; for, look you, the sins of the father
    are to be laid upon the children: therefore, I
    promise ye, I fear you. I was always plain with
    you, and so now I speak my agitation of the matter:
    therefore be of good cheer, for truly I think you
    are damned. There is but one hope in it that can do
    you any good; and that is but a kind of bastard
    hope neither.

飘泊

朗斯洛特        真的，不騙您，父親的罪惡是要子女承當的，所以我倒真的在替您捏著一把汗呢。我一向喜歡對您說老實話，所以現在我也老老實實把我心里所擔憂的事情告訴您；您放心吧，我想您總免不了下地獄。只有一個希望也許可以幫幫您的忙，可是那也是個不大高妙的希望。

飘泊

JESSICA

    And what hope is that, I pray thee?

LAUNCELOT

    Marry, you may partly hope that your father got you
    not, that you are not the Jew's daughter.

飘泊

杰西卡        請問你，是什么希望呢？
朗斯洛特        嗯，您可以存著一半儿的希望，希望您不是您的父親所生，不是這個猶太人的女儿。

飘泊

JESSICA

    That were a kind of bastard hope, indeed: so the
    sins of my mother should be visited upon me.

LAUNCELOT

    Truly then I fear you are damned both by father and
    mother: thus when I shun Scylla, your father, I
    fall into Charybdis, your mother: well, you are
    gone both ways.
