《第十二夜》,和十二块巧克力
不记得哪年开始,11月11日变成了“单身”节日。
我能想到的一个四角恋+告别单身的戏剧,和11无关,和12有关。是Shakespeare的《第十二夜》。
第十二夜取名自圣诞假期的第十二个夜晚,据说那天,大家都可以做些荒诞的事情。这一部喜剧也带有一些荒诞色彩:
孪生兄妹Sebastian和Viola,在一次海难中各自侥幸脱险,Viola流落到伊利里亚,Seba被海盗所救。当地的公爵Orsino爱慕着伯爵小姐Olivia,但不受回应。Viola女扮男装给公爵Orsino当侍童,一眼爱上了公爵。她受命替公爵去向Olivia求爱,Olivia反而爱上了男扮女装的Viola。Sebastian也流落到了伊利里亚,在一场纠纷中碰见Olivia,被错当成了Viola,被救出并被示爱。最终经过一番波折,Viola与Orsino,Olivia与Sebas成了两对眷侣。
我用12块20g的小巧克力,组成一个被打乱的、初见到爱情的莎士比亚故事。
可能只是我用想象在刻意为之,说了个糟糕的笑话。
1.初见&猜测

OLIVIA
How does he love me?
VIOLA
With adorations, fertile tears,
With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.
“他怎样爱着我呢?”
“用崇拜的爱慕,盈眶的热泪;用哭喊的呻吟,炽热的叹息。”

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love!
音乐若是爱情的食粮,那么就奏演下去吧
让我过量的享受,为的是,食过量之后
欲望就厌腻了,以至于消失
再奏起那个调子!它有一种袅袅的余音
啊!它来到我的耳上,就像是才吹过一片紫罗兰的甜蜜的声音,偷送来一股芬芳!够了;别演奏了
现在它不像方才那样浓郁了

Earl Grey Tea Organic Dark Chocolate Bee Bar
伯爵茶黑巧
Not yet old enough for a man, nor young enough for
a boy; as a squash is before 'tis a peascod, or a
cooling when 'tis almost an apple: 'tis with him
in standing water, between boy and man.
说是个大人吧,年纪还太轻
说是个孩子吧,又嫌大些
就像一颗没有成熟的豆荚;或是一只半生的苹果
又像大人又像小孩
2.告白&期许

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
And call upon my soul within the house;
Write loyal cantons of contemned love
And sing them loud even in the dead of night;
我要在您的门前用柳枝筑成一所小屋
不时到府中访谒我的灵魂
我要吟咏着被冷淡的忠诚的爱情的篇什
不顾夜多么深我要把它们高声歌唱
3.忧愁&无奈

She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?
她从没有宣示她的爱
让隐秘咬耗了她的粉红的鳃,像蓓蕾里的虫一般
她在沉思中憔悴了,她忧郁得脸色绿黄
像是坐在墓碑上的“忍耐”一般,对着愁苦微笑
这不是真的爱情吗?

OLIVIA: Stay:I prithee, tell me what thou thinkest of me.
VIOLA: That you do think you are not what you are.
OLIVIA: If I think so, I think the same of you.
VIOLA: Then think you right: I am not what I am.
OLIVIA: I would you were as I would have you be!
“等一下:我请你告诉我你对我有什么感想”
“我想,你一定是想你不是你现在是的人。”
“如果我是这样想,我对你也作同样想。”
“那么你可想对了,我不是我现在所像是的人。”
“我愿你就是我所希望你是的!”
翻译均选自莎士比亚《第十二夜》梁实秋译本。
我没有给这个故事结局。因为知道结局就没有趣了不是?
