装疯

字幕原文

Hamlet made his friends swear never to reveal what they had seen. 哈姆雷特让朋友们发誓，绝不说出他们看到了什么。

"And if I act strangely from now on," “而且要是我以后举止反常，”

he added, "don't say a word." 他接着说，“你们也千万别吱声。”

Soon the whole court was whispering. 没过多久，整个宫廷里都在窃窃私语、议论纷纷。

The prince wandered the halls, reading, and saying strange, clever, disturbing things. 王子在走廊里晃来晃去，一边翻着书，一边说着些古怪、机巧又让人心里发毛的话。

When the old councillor Polonius asked what he was reading, 当老大臣波洛涅斯问他在读什么时，

Hamlet answered, "Words, words, words." 哈姆雷特答道：“字，字，全都是字。”

Polonius shook his head. 波洛涅斯摇了摇头。

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in it." “虽然听着像疯话，可话里话外倒挺有章法。”

Claudius was uneasy. 克劳狄斯心里很不安。

He sent for two of Hamlet's old school friends to spy on him, 他找来了哈姆雷特的两个老同学，让他们去暗中盯梢，

but Hamlet saw through them at once. 但哈姆雷特一眼就把他们看穿了。

Sometimes pretending to be mad is the sanest way to survive in a mad place. 有时候，在疯子扎堆的地方，装疯卖傻反而是最清醒的生存之道。

Polonius had his own theory: 波洛涅斯自己倒有一套推测：

the prince was mad with love for his daughter, Ophelia. 王子是对自己的女儿奥菲莉亚相思成狂，爱得发了疯。

And he had a plan to prove it. 而且，他已经想好了一个法子来证实这一点。
