毒剑之约

字幕原文

Claudius and Laertes made a plan. 克劳迪斯和雷欧提斯定下了一个计划。

Laertes would challenge Hamlet to a friendly fencing match. 雷欧提斯会找哈姆雷特来一场击剑友谊赛。

But his sword would have a sharp point, dipped in deadly poison. 但他的剑头会开刃，而且还淬了剧毒。

Even a scratch would kill. 哪怕只是擦破一点皮，也能置人于死地。

And just in case, Claudius would prepare a cup of poisoned wine. 为了以防万一，克劳迪斯还会准备一杯毒酒。

The invitation came. 邀请送到了。

Horatio begged Hamlet not to go; he had a bad feeling. 霍拉旭苦苦劝哈姆雷特别去，他有种不祥的预感。

So did Hamlet. 哈姆雷特其实也是。

But something in him had changed. 但他心里有些东西已经悄然改变了。

He was calm now, almost at peace. 他现在很平静，甚至可以说释然了。

"There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. “一只麻雀的坠落，冥冥中都有天意。

If it be now, 'tis not to come. 该现在来的，逃也逃不掉；

If it be not to come, it will be now. 要是不该现在来，迟早也得来。

The readiness is all." 随时准备好，这就够了。”

Sometimes peace only comes when we stop trying to control what can't be controlled. 有时候，只有当我们不再执着于掌控那些无法掌控的事物时，内心才能得到真正的平静。

So Hamlet walked into the great hall, 于是，哈姆雷特走进了大厅，

where the whole court was waiting. 满朝的廷臣都已经在那里等着他了。
