飘泊

GRATIANO

    Were you the clerk that is to make me cuckold?

NERISSA

    Ay, but the clerk that never means to do it,
    Unless he live until he be a man.

飘泊

葛萊西安諾        你就是要叫我當忘八的那個書記嗎？
尼莉莎        是的，可是除非那書記會長成一個男子，他再也不能叫你當忘八。

BASSANIO

    Sweet doctor, you shall be my bed-fellow:
    When I am absent, then lie with my wife.

ANTONIO

    Sweet lady, you have given me life and living;
    For here I read for certain that my ships
    Are safely come to road.

飘泊

巴薩尼奧        好博士，你今晚就陪著我睡覺吧；當我不在的時候，您可以睡在我妻子的床上。
安東尼奧        好夫人，您救了我的命，又給了我一條活路；我從這封信里得到了确實的消息，我的船只已經平安到港了。

飘泊

PORTIA

    How now, Lorenzo!
    My clerk hath some good comforts too for you.

NERISSA

    Ay, and I'll give them him without a fee.
    There do I give to you and Jessica,
    From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift,
    After his death, of all he dies possess'd of.

飘泊

鮑西婭        喂，羅蘭佐！我的書記也有一件好東西要給您哩。
尼莉莎        是的，我可以送給他，不收一些費用。這儿是那猶太富翁親筆簽署的一張授贈產業的文契，聲明他死了以后，全部遺產都傳給您和杰西卡，請你們收下吧。

飘泊

LORENZO

    Fair ladies, you drop manna in the way
    Of starved people.

PORTIA

    It is almost morning,
    And yet I am sure you are not satisfied
    Of these events at full. Let us go in;
    And charge us there upon inter'gatories,
    And we will answer all things faithfully.

飘泊

羅蘭佐        兩位好夫人，你們像是散布瑪哪□的天使，救濟著饑餓的人們。
鮑西婭        天已經差不多亮了，可是我知道你們還想把這些事情知道得詳細一點。我們大家進去吧；你們還有什么疑惑的地方，盡管再向我們發問，我們一定老老實實地回答一切問題。

飘泊

GRATIANO

    Let it be so: the first inter'gatory
    That my Nerissa shall be sworn on is,
    Whether till the next night she had rather stay,
    Or go to bed now, being two hours to day:
    But were the day come, I should wish it dark,
    That I were couching with the doctor's clerk.
    Well, while I live I'll fear no other thing
    So sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring.

    Exeunt

葛萊西安諾        很好，我要我的尼莉莎宣誓答复的第一個問題，是現在离白晝只有兩小時了，我們還是就去睡覺呢，還是等明天晚上再睡？正是——不懼黃昏近，但愁白日長；翩翩書記俊，今夕喜同床。金環束指間，燦爛自生光，唯恐嬌妻罵，莫將棄道旁。（眾下。）
