莎剧译选和比读：I wonder that you will still&nb ...

BEATRICE  I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior

Benedick: nobody marks you.

BENEDICK  What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? 

BEATRICE  Is it possible disdain should die while she hath

such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?

Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come

in her presence.

BENEDICK  Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I

am loved of all ladies, only you excepted: and I

would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard

heart; for, truly, I love none.

BEATRICE  A dear happiness to women: they would else have

been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God

and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that: I

had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man

swear he loves me.  

BENEDICK  God keep your ladyship still in that mind! so some

gentleman or other shall 'scape a predestinate

scratched face.

BEATRICE   Scratching could not make it worse, an't were such

a face as yours were.

(选自《无事生非》第一幕第一场)

朱生豪 译：

贝特丽丝  培尼 狄克先生，您怎么还在那儿讲话呀？没有人听着您哩。

培尼狄克  嗳哟，我的傲慢的小姐！您还活着吗？

贝特丽丝  世上有培尼狄克先生那样的人，傲慢是不会死去的；顶有礼貌的人，只要一看见您，也就会傲慢起来。

培尼狄克  那么礼貌也是个反复无常的小人了。可是除了您以外，无论哪个女人都爱我，这一点是毫无疑问的；我希望我的心肠不是那么硬，因为说句老实话，我实在一个也不爱她们。

贝特丽丝  那真是女人们好大的运气，要不然她们准要给一个讨厌的求婚者麻烦死了。我感谢上帝和我自己冷酷的心，我在这一点上倒跟您心情相合；与其叫我听一个男人发誓说他爱我，我宁愿听我的狗向着一只乌鸦叫。

培尼狄克  上帝保佑您小姐永远怀着这样的心情吧！这样某一位先生就可以逃过他命中注定的抓破脸皮的恶运了。

贝特丽丝  像您这样一副尊容，就是抓破了也不会变得比原来更难看的。
