城墙上的鬼魂

字幕原文

Midnight, on the freezing walls of Elsinore Castle in Denmark. 午夜时分，丹麦埃尔西诺城堡冰冷的城墙上。

Two guards stood stamping their feet, waiting nervously. 两个守卫不停地跺着脚，紧张地等待着。

Two nights in a row, they had seen something terrible, 连续两个晚上，他们都看到了可怕的东西，

and tonight they had brought a witness: Horatio, 所以今晚他们带来了一位见证人：霍拉旭，

a calm, clever student who didn't believe in ghosts. 他是个冷静聪明的学生，向来不信鬼神那一套。

"It's just your imagination," he told them. “这不过是你们自己瞎想的，”他对他们说。

Then the bell struck one. 这时，钟声敲响了一点。

And out of the darkness stepped a figure in full armor. 黑暗中，走出了一个全身披着铠甲的身影。

It was the dead King Hamlet, 那是已经死去的哈姆雷特国王，

who had died suddenly only two months before. 他两个月前才刚刚突然暴毙。

His face was pale, full of sorrow and anger. 他脸色惨白，满是悲伤与愤怒。

"Speak to me!" “跟我说话！”

cried Horatio. 霍拉旭大喊道。

But the ghost said nothing. 但那鬼魂一言不发。

It turned, and slowly faded away. 它转过身，慢慢消失在夜色中。

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," one guard whispered. “丹麦肯定是出什么烂事了，”一个守卫低声嘀咕道。

Horatio knew there was only one person the ghost would speak to: 霍拉旭知道，这鬼魂唯一肯开口交谈的只有一个人：

the dead king's son, Prince Hamlet. 那就是先王的儿子，哈姆雷特王子。
