Chapter 2 first act

A Room in the Duke's Mansion, Scene 1 The Duke, Curio, and all the courtiers are the same; the musicians are in attendance. Duke If music be the food of love, play it on; play it on, that love may choke to death.It's that tune again!It has a rhythm that fades away.ah!It passed by my ear like a breeze blowing a bush of violets, making a soft sound, stealing the fragrance of the flower and giving it away again.enough!Don't play any more!It's not as sweet now as it used to be.Spirit of love!How sensitive and lively you are; although you have the capacity of the sea, no matter how noble and transcendent things are, once they enter your range, they will lose their value in an instant.Love is so full of images, the most imaginative of all things.

Your Highness Curio, do you want to go hunting? Duke What, Curio? Curio went hunting deer. Yes, duke, my heart is like a deer.well!When I laid eyes on Olivia for the first time, I felt as if the air cleared her.Then I became a stag; ever since my lust has pursued me like a fierce and cruel hound. Enter Valentine. How is the duke!What's the news from her? Valentine told your lord that they would not let me in, but this answer came from the mouth of her maid: Unless seven more cold and summer days, not even the blue sky can see her whole picture; she will be like a nun, veiled Walking in a mask, dousing her bedroom with bitter tears every day: all in honor of the love of a dead brother whom she would keep alive forever in her grieving memory.

Duke!She has such a beautiful heart, and she will love her brother so much.If Cupid's mighty arrow of gold Shot all other passions of her heart die; If only One and one King Occupy These majestic thrones of heart, heart, and mind, How would she love these precious treasures then!Guide me to the fragrant flowers; lovesickness is especially strong in the shade of flowers. (same below.) second seaside Enter VIOLA, the Captain, and Sailors. Viola friends, what country is this? Captain This is Illyria, girl. VIOLA What am I doing in Illyria?My brother has gone to the Land of Ultimate Bliss.Perhaps he was lucky not to drown.What do you think, sailors?

Captain, you were lucky enough to save your life. VIOLA Oh, my poor brother!May he be lucky too! Well done, my lady, you may comfort yourself with a fluke hope.I tell you, when we were wrecked, and you and your escaped companions were clinging to our storm-tossed boat, I saw your brother wittily He tied himself to a floating mast, bravery and hope taught him the tactic; I saw him like Arion From Sicily to Corinth, he was persecuted by sailors on the way, because he jumped into the sea and was carried to the shore by dolphins. Gai deeply felt the power of his music. ] floated among the waves like a dolphin until my eyes lost sight of him.

VIOLA Your words please me, please take this little money, and express your gratitude.My own escape made me hope that he might escape likewise; and your words confirm my hope a little more.Do you know this land? Captain Yes, girl, well; for I was brought up not three hours' journey from here. Viola Who rules this place? A noble duke worthy of his name. VIOLA What's his name? Captain Orsino. Viola Orsino!I heard my father speak of him once; he was unmarried then. Captain As he is now, at least lately I haven't heard of his marriage; for I set out from here just a month ago, when there was a fresh gossip You know that every move of a great man is talked about by the common people Said he was courting the beautiful Olivia.

VIOLA Who is she? Captain She was a noble girl; her father, an earl, died about a year ago, and left her in the care of his son, her brother, who died soon after.They said that out of deep friendship for her brother she had sworn never to be with men or to see them. VIOLA Oh!If I can serve this lady, I won't have to reveal my identity before the time is ripe. That was difficult for the captain, for she would not accept any kind of request, even the duke's. Captain Viola, you appear to be a good man; and though creations often surround their filth with a fair wall, yet I can trust your heart is as good as your appearance.Please keep my secret and don't reveal my truth, I will thank you later; you must help me pretend so that I can achieve my purpose.I'm going to wait on this duke, and you may send me to him as a purged chaplain; perhaps you'll get some good, for I can sing, and speak to him with all kinds of music, and make him use me.I will talk about it later; I will make a plan, you just need to be silent.

Captain, I will be dumb, and you will be a servant; if you talk too much, you will pluck out my eyeballs. VIOLA Thank you; lead me. (same below.) Scene 3 A room in Olivia's house Toby.Enter Sir Belch and Maria. Toby What the hell is my niece taking her brother's death so seriously?Sorrow kills life. Maria Indeed, sir Toby, you must come back early in the evening; your niece is very much against your staying late at night. Toby hum, let her object today, object tomorrow, go ahead and object. Oh, Maria, but you have to have a sense of proportion, and don't lose your dignity too much.

Toby status!Doesn't my dress fit me?It's respectable to go drinking in such clothes; and these boots, if they don't, let them be hanged by their laces. Maria You're dishonoring yourself by drinking like this, I heard the lady say yesterday; And she said of that foolish knight you brought here one night to propose to her. Toby who?Andrew.Sir Aguchick? As for Maria, it was him. Toby is considered a talent in Illyria. What's the deal with Mariana? Huh, Toby, he earns three thousand dollars a year. Oh, Maria, but all that money was spent within a year.He is a great fool, and a prodigal son.

Toby Pooh!You say such things!He can play the double bass; he can speak three or four languages ​​without reading a book, without blurring a word; he has a very good talent. Maria Yes, fools are blessed; for besides being a fool, he is a troublemaker; if he has no cowardly gift to temper his quarrelsome temper, there is Everyone who knew him thought he would sleep in a coffin. Toby, I swear by raising my hand, those who say this about him are all bad guys, talking nonsense.Who are they? Maria They say you drink with him every night. Toby we all drink to wish my niece well.As long as there's a esophagus in my throat and wine in Illyria, I'll toast her.Anybody who won't toast my niece until she spins like a spinning top is a douchebag and a scumbag.Hey girl!Be serious!Andrew.Here comes Ser Aguchick.

Andrew.Enter Ser Aguchick. Andrew Toby.Sir Belch!Hello Toby.Sir Belch! Toby Dear Sir Andrew! Hello Andrew, beautiful little vixen! Hello Maria, my lord. Toby a few words, Sir Andrew, a few words. What did you say Andrew? Toby, this is the servant girl of my niece. Andrew, sister Hanxuan, I hope we can get to know each other more. Maria My name is Mary, my lord. Andrew good Mary.Sister Hanxuan, Toby, you are mistaken, knight: a few words of greeting mean running up to her to socialize, say hello, be courteous, come over. Andrew Well, I can't deal with her in front of these people.Is that what greetings mean?

Goodbye Maria, gentlemen. Toby If you let her go like this, Sir Andrew, you'll never be a man again. Andrew If you leave like this, girl, I don't have to be a man anymore.Good lady, do you think you have fools on your hands? My lord Maria, but I haven't shaken your hand yet. Andrew that's easy, let's shake hands. Maria Well, my lord, thoughts are free.Please take this hand to the liquor counter and let it have a drink or two. What does Andrew say, my good man?What analogy are you making? Maria I mean it's boring. Andrew Yeah, I thought so too.No matter what people say about my stupidity, I still understand the reason why I should take good care of my hands.But what joke are you talking about? Maria's boring joke. Andrew, are you full of jokes like this? Maria is well, my lord, with hands full of them.Well, now I let go of your hand, and all my jokes are gone. (Down.) Toby the knight!You should have a glass of wine.When have I seen you fooled like this? Andrew I don't think you've ever seen; unless you saw me drunk.Sometimes I think I'm as stupid as Christians and common people in general; but I'm a big beef eater, and I believe that's very injurious to my intelligence. Toby must have. Andrew: If I really think that way, I will have to quit in the future.Sir Toby, I will ride home to-morrow. Toby Pourquoi [Note: French: Why. ], my dear knight? Andrew, what is pourquoi?Good or not?I should have learned a few foreign languages ​​in the time I spent fencing and dancing and bear juggling.well!If only I read literature! Toby if you spend some time on your curling iron 】On the top, you can have good hair. What about Andrew, what does that have to do with my hair? Toby knew that because, you see, your hair doesn't get frizzy without some work. Andrew, but isn't my hair pretty enough already? Toby is fine, it drapes like twine on a spinning rod, I wish some grandma would spin it with you in your lap. Andrew: Really, I'm going home tomorrow, Sir Toby.Your niece won't see me; if she did, she probably wouldn't want me.Here the duke proposes to her too. Toby She wants no duke or no duke; She won't marry a man higher than she is, or rank, or age, or wisdom, I heard her swear.Hey man, there's still hope. Andrew, I will delay for another month.I'm the queerest mind in the world; I'm always fond of drinking and dancing sometimes. Are you good at winning games like Toby, Cavalier? Andrew can match any man in Illyria who isn't better than me; but I don't want to compare with old hands. How good are you at dancing, Toby? Andrew kid you not, I can pull onions on dry land. Toby, I will stir-fry lamb with shallots. Andrew told me I was as good at jumping backwards as anyone in Illyria. Toby Why do you want to hide this talent?Why should such a genius be covered with a curtain?Would they also be dusty, like a picture of a big girl?Why not go to church with Galia and all the way home with Corando?If it were me, walking would be a jig, and urinating would be a five-step dance.What do you mean?Is talent supposed to be hidden in this world?Judging by your splendid legs, I think they were born under a dancing star. Andrew, my legs are very strong, and they look very pretty in those fire-yellow socks.Shall we go drink? Toby, what else can we do but drink?Isn't our life house Taurus? Andrew Taurus!Taurus governs the waist and heart. Toby no, man, it's legs and thighs.Show me a dance.Ha ha!Jump higher!Ha ha!great! (same below.) Scene 4 A Room in the Duke's Mansion Enter Valentine and Viola men's clothing. Valentin If the duke continues to favor you like this, Cesario, you're likely to rise; he's only three days' acquaintance with you, and you're so acquainted with him. It seems to Viola that you are either afraid of his unpredictable nature or that I will neglect my duties, so you doubt whether he will continue to favor me like this.Sir, does he treat people with a beginning and an end? Valentine No, believe me. Viola thank you.Here comes the duke. Enter the Duke, Curio, and Attendants. Duke hello!Has anyone seen Cesario? Viola is here, my lord, at your command. Duke, you go away for a while.Cesario, you already know all, I have revealed to you the book of my secret heart; therefore, good boy, go to her, and let them not shut you out, stand by her at the door, and tell them, you shall stand till you are rooted under your feet, till she invites you to see her. My lord Viola, if she were in mourning, as they say, she would not have let me in. You may quarrel with them, duke, without heeding all the bounds of politeness, but be sure not to return to nothing. VIOLA Suppose I can meet and talk with her, my lord, so what? duke oh!Then declare to her the passion of my love, and surprise her with my sincerity.You must have played my heart well, and a youth like you must have caught her attention better than those stern-faced emissaries. VIOLA I don't think so, my lord. Good duke, take my word for it; for such a young age as you are not yet a man: Diana's lips are not smoother and redder than yours; thy delicate throat is sharp and clear as a virgin's; in every respect You are all like a woman.I know your character is easy to deal with this matter.Four or five go with him; all if you like; for I am glad to be alone.If you succeed, then you can also have a share in your master's property. VIOLA I will do my best to propose to your love. (narration) Alas, I only complain about the hindered future!But I must be his wife. (Exit each.) Scene 5 A room in Olivia's house Enter Maria and the Clown. Maria No, if you don't tell me where you're going, I'll squeeze my lips so tightly that I can't get a hair in, and I won't say a good word for you.Miss is going to hang you because you are not here. Clown Let her hang me; He who hangs well has no fear of enemies in this world. Maria explained what you said. Clown because he can't see the enemy. Maria gave a boring answer.Let me tell you where the phrase "have no fear of the enemy" came from. Where did the clown come from, Miss Maria? Mary's from the war; next time you're in Sarah again, feel free to say so. Clown Well, God gives wisdom to the wise; as for the fools, it's up to them. Maria, but you have been fooling around outside for so long, the lady must hang you, otherwise driving you out, wouldn't that be as good as hanging you? A good hang of a clown often prevents a bad marriage; as for being cast out, that doesn't matter much in the summer. Maria So have you made up your mind? Clown No, no; but I decide both ends. Maria, if one end is broken, the other end is still connected; if both ends are broken, your trousers will fall down too. Clowns are wonderful, really wonderful.Well, go to you; if Master Toby quit drinking, you'd be a worthy naughty character among Illyria's daughters. Maria shut up, you bastard, stop talking nonsense.Miss is here, you'd better come up with an excuse. (Down.) The clown is talented, please help me pretend to be a fool!People who think of their talents are often fools; I know I have no talents, so I may be wise.Kunna Pales [Note: It seems to be a fabricated name. ] How do you say it?It is better to be a wise fool than a stupid sapiens. Enter Olivia and Malvolio. Clown God bless you, miss! Olivia, throw this fool out! Hey clown, didn't you hear?Throw this lady out. Olivia forget it!You're a dull fool, I don't want to see you again; and you've grown dishonest. Clown, my lady, both ailments can be cured with wine and advice.Just give a boring fool a drink and he won't be boring.It is only necessary to persuade a dishonest man to change his mind and make amends for his past mistakes: if he can make it up, he is no longer dishonest; if he cannot, let a tailor mend him.Those who make up make up for it: a mistake in morality is nothing more than making up for a piece of sin; after sin is repented, it is nothing more than making up for a piece of morality.If this simple reasoning works, that's great; if it doesn't, what else can we do?It is unlucky to be forgetful, and beautiful women are like flowers, there is no doubt about it.Miss orders the fool to be thrown out; so I say again, put her out. Your Majesty Olivia, I ordered them to throw you out. Clown, this is a big mistake and a big mistake!Miss, wearing a monk's hat is not necessarily a monk; it is like saying that although I wear a fool's colorful coat on my body, I don't necessarily wear it in my head.My dear lady, allow me to prove you a fool. Olivia can you? The clown has nothing more to offer, my dear lady. Olivia, let's prove it. Miss Clown, I must question you; my virtuous little darling, answer me. Olivia Well, sir, for the sake of nothing else, I shall wait for your proof. Clown My dear lady, why are you sad? Olivia is such a fool, for my brother's death. Miss Clown, I think his soul is in hell. Olivia fool, I know his soul is in heaven. Clown That makes you more foolish, my lady; why grieve, when your brother's soul is in heaven?Gentlemen, throw this idiot out. Olivia Malvolio, what do you think of this fool?Is it more interesting? Malvolio yes, and it will keep getting funnier until he dies.Aging and weakness diminishes intelligence, but it makes a fool extraordinarily stupid. God bless you, my clown, grow old and feeble, so that you can be extra stupid!Master Toby could have sworn I wasn't a fox, but he wouldn't bet twopence that you weren't a fool. Olivia, what do you say, Malvolio? Malvolio I don't understand how your lady likes such a mindless bastard.The day before yesterday I saw him being tricked by a low-class fool as obstinate as a rock.You see, he is helpless; if you don't smile and give him some questions, he will have nothing to say.I said that the wise people who are so happy to hear such fools are just echoes of fools. Olivia!You are too pretentious, Malvolio; you lack a healthy appetite.What you think are cannonballs are nothing but arrows to the generous and generous man.A fool has the right to be unrestrained, even if he swears, people will not blame him; a gentleman's words must carry weight, even though he always points at others' mistakes, it cannot be regarded as abuse. The clown Mercury [Note: (Mereury), the god of business in Roman mythology, and the patron saint of thieves. 】Reward your ability to lie, because you have spoken good things to fools! Maria re-enters. Miss Maria, there is a young gentleman at the door who would like to speak to you. Is Olivia from Duke Orsino? Maria I don't know, miss; he's a handsome young man, with a great retinue. Olivia Who in my family is dealing with him? Maria is Lord Toby, Miss. Olivia, tell him to go away; he's full of crazy talk.Don't be shy! (Exit Maria.) Come, Malvolio; and if the duke sends, and says I am ill, or absent, send him as you please. (Exit MALVORIO) You see, sir, your jokes have grown stale, and people don't like them. Clown my lady, you speak for me as your elder son would be a fool; may God fill his head with brains!Here comes your niece with the most useless mind. Toby.Enter Sir Belch. Olivia, ouch, half drunk again.Uncle, who is at the door? Toby is a gentleman. Olivia what a gentleman!What gentleman? Toby has a gentleman here such a goddamn salty fish!What, fool! The clown is good Grandpa Toby! Uncle Olivia, Uncle, why are you in the dark so early? Toby's voice is brilliant!I am overwhelmed!There is a man at the door. Clown Yes, who is he? Whether Toby made him a devil, I don't care; I said, I have a god in my heart.Well, all the same. (Down.) Olivia fool, what does a drunk look like? The clown is like a drowned man, like a fool, and like a madman.One extra sip would turn him into a fool; another and he would be mad; a third and he would be drowned. Olivia, go to a coroner, and let him examine my uncle; for he's drunk to the third stage, and he's drowned.Look at him go. Clown He's only mad, my lady; it's a fool's turn to take care of a madman. (Down.) Re-enter Malvolio. Miss Malvolio, that boy swore to see you and speak.I told him that you were sick; he said he knew it, so he wanted to see you and talk.I told him that you were asleep; he seemed to know already, so he wanted to see you and talk.What more can I say to him, madam?Nothing can stop him. Olivia told him I didn't want to see him talk. Malvolio has already told him this; he said that he would stand at your door like the flagpole erected in front of the governor's office, stand upright like the legs of a stool, and must see you speak. What kind of person is Olivia? Malvolio Uh, like a person. What is Olivia like? Malvolio is very rude; he will see you to speak, whether you like it or not. What does Olivia look like?how old? Malvolio said he was an adult, but he was still too young; he said he was a child, but he was too old: like an immature pod, or a half-baked apple, like an adult and like a child, the so-called intermediary Almost in between.He was very handsome, and he spoke very tricky; judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a little milky. Olivia called him in.Call my maid. Miss Malvolio, the lady is calling for you. (Down.) Maria re-enters. Olivia, bring my veil; here, cover my face.We shall hear the envoy Orsino speak again. Enter VIOLA and Attendants. Which Viola is the noble lady in this mansion? Tell me what Olivia has to say; I can answer for her.What do you come here to learn? Viola's most splendid, sublime, peerless beauty!Please tell me if this is the lady from the mansion here, because I have never seen her.I am not content to waste my words; for not only is it well written, but I have learned it by heart with great pains.Don't make fun of me, two beauties; I am a very sensitive creature, and cannot bear the slightest slight. Olivia where are you from, sir? VIOLA I can say no more than I know by heart; your question I am not prepared to answer.Gentle and good man, tell me kindly if you are the lady of the house, so that I can explain my purpose of coming. Olivia, are you an opera singer? VIOLA No, my dear; But I swear before the most malice of enemies, I am not what I play.Are you the lady of this mansion? Olivia Yes, if I had not usurped myself. VIOLA If you are she, You do usurp yourself; For what you have power to give, You have no power to hide.But this kind of talk has nothing to do with my mission here; to continue with your compliments and then tell you my purpose. Olivia gets the big words out; the compliments are spared. VIOLA Oh!I learned it by heart with difficulty, and it is very poetic. Olivia's so many words are mostly nonsense, please keep it without saying it.I hear you're contradicting me at my door; you're only let in to see who you are, not to hear you.If you're not mad, go ahead; if you're sensible, put it simply: I'm not in the mood for a boring conversation right now. Maria Go on, sir; this is your way. VIOLA No, good scavenger, I'll loiter here a while.My dear lady, please persuade this burly man of yours not to be so ostentatious. Olivia tell me your respect. VIOLA I am a messenger. Olivia, your politeness is so dreadful that the information you bring must be something bad.Have something to say. Viola let no one hear but you.I have not come to declare war on you, nor to demand your surrender; I hold an olive branch in my hand, and my words are full of peace and full of meaning. Olivia, but you were not polite in the first place.Who are you?What do you want? VIOLA My impoliteness I learned from your reception of me.Who I am and what I want is a secret; sacred to your ears, profane to others. Olivia Go away, you all; we will hear this holy word. (Maria and attendants wait) Now, sir, may I ask your scriptures? Viola's sweetest lady Olivia, on the other hand, is a kind of doctrine that is very comfortable to listen to, and can be discussed a lot.What about your scriptures? Viola was in Orsino's heart. Olivia was on his mind!Which chapter is in his mind? Arranging Viola according to the table of contents was the first chapter in his mind. Olivia Oh!Then I've read it, and it's nothing more than heresy.Don't you have anything else to say? Good Miss VIOLA, let me see your face. Master Olivia, is there something you want to send you to contact my face?You are now straying from your text; but we might as well open it up and show you the picture. (unveiling) You see, sir, that's what I look like; isn't it well drawn? VIOLA If it were all in the hand of God, that would be a wonderful stroke. Olivia Its color is durable, sir, and weathers it. Viola's is a beauty made of delicate blends of colors; The red and the white are all laid by Nature Himself with his lovely hand.Miss, you are the most ruthless woman in the world, if you are willing to let this beauty be buried in the grave and not leave a copy for the world. Olivia!Sir, I will not be so cruel; I could make a list of my beauty, and make it clear, and put each detail in my will, such as: one style, two lips of moderate shade; One, a pair of gray eyes with eyelids; one, a jade neck, a soft mouth, and so on.Are you ordered to come here to compliment me? VIOLA I see what you are.You are too proud; but even if you are a devil, you are beautiful.My master loves you; ah!Such a kind of love, even if you are the most beautiful in the world, you should repay him. Olivia How does he love me? With admiration, Viola sheds tears, resounds the moan of love, breathes out the sigh of fire. Olivia your lord knows what I mean, I cannot love him; though I think he is of high character, know he is noble, well-placed, young and pure, well-known, generous, learned, brave, He's handsome and handsome; but I can't love him, he's heard from me long ago. VIOLA If I loved you as passionately as my master, and suffered like this, and prolonged life so idly, I should not understand what your refusal means. Olivia, what are you going to do? Viola I will build a house of willow branches before your door, and visit my soul in the house from time to time; I will sing the poems of cold and faithful love, and I will sing them up no matter how late the night is. Singing, I will call your name to the echoing cliffs, and make all the rambling winds call Olivia.ah!You will have no peace between heaven and earth, unless you have mercy on me! Olivia, your eloquence is quite impressive.How is your family background? Viola is beyond my present situation, but I am a gentleman. Olivia, go back to your master; I cannot love him, and tell him not to send any more; Unless or you come to me again, and tell me what he thinks of my answer.Goodbye!Thank you for your hard work; here are some coins for you. VIOLA I am not a messenger for money, madam, keep your money; it is my master, not I, who is not paid.May Eros make the heart of your beloved as hard as stone, that your passion may be as scorned as my master's!Farewell, sweet beauty! (Down.) Olivia, what is your family background?More than my current situation, but I am a gentleman.I can swear you are; your voice, your face, your body, your movements, your spirit, all testify to your nobility.Don't be so hasty.wait!wait!Unless the title of master and servant is reversed.What!So quickly contracted that disease?I felt as if the youthful beauty was creeping into my eyes.OK, let it be.Hello!Malvolio! Re-enter Malvolio. Malvolio Yes, madam, at your command. Olivia went after the impertinent messenger, sent by the duke, who kept the ring, whether I wanted it or not; told him I would not, and begged him not to honor his lord, let him Give up, I have no fate with him.If the boy still walks here tomorrow, I can tell him why.Go, Malvolio. Malvolio Yes, miss. (Down.) Olivia I know nothing of my ways, How can you catch someone's attention all of a sudden? All but as fate bids, Who can be his own master! (Down.)
