女儿们的冷酷

字幕原文

Lear had kept only his title and a hundred knights, 李尔只保留了自己的头衔和一百名骑士，

and planned to stay with each daughter in turn. 打算轮流去各个女儿家住。

But Goneril soon grew tired of him. 但高纳里尔很快就嫌他烦了。

His knights were too rowdy, she complained. 她抱怨说，他的随从骑士们太吵闹了。

Lear couldn't believe it. 李尔简直不敢相信。

"Who is it that can tell me who I am?" “谁能告诉我，我到底是谁？”

His Fool, the only one allowed to speak freely, mocked him gently. 只有他的弄臣被允许畅所欲言，轻声嘲弄道：

"Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise." “人要是还没变聪明，真不该先变老。”

Lear cursed Goneril and rode to Regan. 李尔咒骂了高纳里尔，骑马赶去找里根。

But Regan sided with her sister. 但里根却和姐姐站到了同一边。

Fifty knights was too many. 五十个骑士太多了。

Twenty-five. 二十五个。

Ten. 十个。

Five. 五个。

"What need one?" “一个都不需要！”

"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!" “养了个不知感恩的孩子，比被毒蛇咬上一口还要痛心！”

Some people only show their true faces once they have nothing left to gain. 有些人只有在捞不到半点好处时，才会露出真面目。

Then, as a storm began to rise, the daughters shut their doors. 这时暴风雨开始降临，女儿们却关紧了大门。

The old king walked out into the night. 老国王就这样走进了茫茫夜色之中。
