Be wary, then. Best safety lies in fear.

Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 43

要謹慎，戰戰兢兢才最安全。

雖然沒人相助，青春也會自己造反。

 

Give thy thoughts no tongue,

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 59

不要心裡怎麼想，嘴裡就怎麼說，

 

Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 61

待人要友善 但是不要粗俗。

 

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,

Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel,

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 62

經過考驗的益友，

要用鋼箍 把他們套在你的心靈上，

 

Beware

Of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in,

Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee.

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 65

注意

既然跟別人爭吵，就要吵下去，

令對方當心你。

 

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; 

Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 68

眾人說的話你都要傾聽，但是不可多開口；

接受每個人的意見，但是要保留自己的主張。

 

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,

But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy,

For the apparel oft proclaims the man;

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 70

以你的荷包為度，衣服要穿得講究，

但是也不可過於奇怪；要闊氣，不要俗豔，

因為衣著往往標示一個人；

 

 

Neither a borrower, nor a lender be, 

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 73

不要向人借錢，也不要借錢給人，

因為借錢給人 常常失去了錢還失去朋友，

 

When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul

Lends the tongue vows.

--- Hamlet  I, iii, 116

熱血沸騰的時候，人的心是何其豪爽地

把海誓山盟送到舌尖。

 

The air bites shrewdly,

--- Hamlet  I, iv, 1

寒風刺骨，

 

I do not set my life at a pin’s fee.

--- Hamlet  I, iv, 65

我不認為我的性命有一根針那樣值錢，

 

And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed

That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,

--- Hamlet  I, v, 32

你簡直是比迷魂河畔

安穩生根的肥草還要遲鈍，

 

Leave her to heaven,

And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge

To prick and sting her.

--- Hamlet  I, v, 86

她自有天譴，

自有良心上的榛棘

去刺她螫她。

 

The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,

And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.

--- Hamlet  I, v, 89

螢火蟲的微光漸漸變得暗淡，

是清晨快要到了。

 

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

--- Hamlet  I, v, 166

何瑞修，宇宙間無奇不有，

不是你的哲學全能夢想得到的。
