幻觉中的匕首

字幕原文

Late that night, the castle was silent. 那天深夜，城堡里一片死寂。

Duncan was asleep, and his guards lay drunk. 邓肯已经睡下，他的卫兵们也都醉倒在地。

Macbeth waited alone in the dark for the signal. 麦克白独自在黑暗中等待着暗号。

Then, suddenly, he saw it, floating in the air. 突然间，他看到了它，正悬浮在半空中。

"Is this a dagger which I see before me, “我眼前这是一把匕首吗，

the handle toward my hand? 刀柄正对着我的手？

Come, let me clutch thee." 来，让我握住你。”

He reached out, but his hand closed on nothing. 他伸出手去抓，却抓了个空。

As he watched, drops of blood appeared on the blade. 眼看着，刀刃上竟然冒出了一滴滴鲜血。

Was it real, or just a dagger of the mind? 这是真的，还是只是我脑海里的幻觉？

Our worst deeds are often rehearsed in our imagination first. 最可怕的恶行，往往先在我们的想象中排练过。

Then a bell rang softly. 这时，传来一声轻微的钟响。

The signal. 是暗号。

Macbeth drew his real dagger. 麦克白拔出了自己真正的匕首。

"Hear it not, Duncan, “邓肯，别听这声音，

for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven, 因为那是召唤你魂归天堂、

or to hell." 或是坠入地狱的丧钟。”

And he climbed the stairs. 接着，他走上了楼梯。
