(－that ) with devotions visage

And pious action we do sugar oer

The devil himself.

--- Hamlet  III, i, 47

我們常裝出信仰的表情

和虔誠的行動，卻用糖衣

包裹魔鬼的本性。

 

To be, or not to be: that is the question:

--- Hamlet  III, i, 56

活下去，或不活下去：這是個難題：

 

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them?

--- Hamlet  III, i, 57

究竟要忍受這強暴的命運的矢石

纔顯心地高尚，

還是要拔劍迎向眾多苦惱，

用對抗把它們了結？  suffer: endure patiently

 

To die, to sleep－

No more; and, by a sleep to say we end

The heartache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to, tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished.

--- Hamlet  III, i, 61

死，長眠

完結；闔眼一睡，若是就能結束

心頭的苦痛和肉體承受的萬千驚擾，

那真是我們要虔求的結局。

 

To die, to sleep－

To sleep: perchance to dream:

--- Hamlet  III, i, 64

死，長眠

長眠麼：或許做夢哩！

 

after death,

The undiscovered country from whose bourn

No traveler returns, puzzles the will,

--- Hamlet  III, i, 80

死乃旅客一去不返的未知的異鄉，令人心智迷惑，

 

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,

--- Hamlet  III, i, 85

顧慮 使得我們都變成了懦夫，  conscience: reflection

 

      (, for) to the noble mind

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

--- Hamlet  III, i, 100

對於有骨氣的人

贈者虛情假意 好禮變為土塵。   wax: become

 

I have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God has given you one face,

and you make yourselves another.

--- Hamlet  III, i, 150

我很清楚 你們女人都愛塗脂抹粉。上帝給你們一張臉，你們自己還要另造一張。

 

A man that Fortunes buffets and rewards

Hast taen with equal thanks;

--- Hamlet  III, ii, 72

不論是命運的打擊或獎賞

同樣欣然接受；

 

Ophelia: Tis brief, my lord.

Hamlet: As womans love.

--- Hamlet  III, ii, 165

歐菲利亞：它很短，殿下。

哈姆雷特：就像女人的愛情。

 

The lady protests too much, methinks.

    --- Hamlet  III, ii, 230

我認為這女士表明心迹過火。

The lady is too full of protestations of love and loyalty, I think.

 

Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear;

When little fears grow great, great love grows there.

--- Hamlet  III, ii, 183

情到深處，小疑變憂慮；

憂慮增多時，正好滋長情意。

 

I will speak daggers to her, but use none.

--- Hamlet  III, ii, 421

我要施舌劍挖苦她，但是不動真刀。

 

O! my offense is rank, it smells to heaven;

--- Hamlet  III, iii, 36

啊，我的罪名昭彰，穢氣熏天；

 

With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May,

--- Hamlet  III, iii, 81

他的一切罪過像是五月裡的花朵那樣盛開著，

 

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:

Words without thoughts never to heaven go.

--- Hamlet  III, iii, 97

我的話飛上去了，我的心思還留在下面：

有口無心的禱告 永遠不會上到天。
