THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET, PRINCE OF DENMARK P40 p84 Hamlet:（soliloquy/monologue） To be, or not to be：that is the questionWhether 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. To die：to sleepNo 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 wishd. To die，to sleepTo sleep！perchance to dream: aye, theres the rubFor in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled 摆脱 off this mortal coil, Must give us pause：theres the respect That makes calamity of so long lifeFor who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely, The pangs of despisd love, the laws delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscoverd country, from whose bourn No traveller return, spuzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied oer with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action. Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembred. [哈姆雷特入] （朱生豪译） 哈: 自言自语 生存还是毁灭，这是一个值得考虑的问题默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭，或是挺身反抗人世的无涯的苦难，通过斗争把它们扫清，这两种行为，哪一种更高贵？死了；睡着了；什么都完了；要是在这一种睡眠之中，我们心头的创痛，以及其他无数血肉之躯所不能避免的打击，都可以从此消失，那正是我们求之不得的结局。死了；睡着了；睡着了也许还会做梦；嗯，阻碍就在这儿：因为当我们摆脱了这一具朽腐的皮囊以后，在那死的睡眠里，究竟将要做些什么梦，那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。人们甘心久困于患难之中，也就是为了这个缘故；谁愿意忍受人世的鞭挞和讥嘲、压迫者的凌辱、傲慢者的冷眼、被轻蔑的爱情的惨痛、法律的迁延、官吏的横暴和费尽辛勤所换来的小人的鄙视，要是他只要用一柄小小的刀子，就可以清算他自己的一生？谁愿意负着这样的重担，在烦劳的生命的压迫下呻吟流汗，倘不是因为惧怕不可知的死后，惧怕那从来不曾有一个旅人回来过的神秘之国，是它迷惑了我们的意志使我们宁愿忍受目前的磨折，不敢向
