暴風雨》第三幕片段(朱生豪譯)
凱列班:不要怕。這島上充滿了各種聲音和悅耳的樂曲,使人聽了愉快,不會傷害人。有時成千的叮叮咚咚的樂器在我耳邊鳴響。有時在我酣睡醒來的時候,聽見了那種歌聲,又使我沉沉睡去;那時在夢中便好像雲端裏開了門,無數珍寶要向我傾倒下來;當我醒來之後,我簡直哭了起來,希望重新做一遍這樣的夢。
(斯丹法諾:這倒是一個出色的國土,可以不費錢白聽音樂。)
(凱列班:但第一您得先殺死普洛斯彼羅。)
(斯丹法諾:那事我們不久就可以動手;我記住了。)
原文:
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.
