這場戲：逼心上人替妹妹報仇
第 17 章 · 共 24 章 · 3'52"
碧翠絲哭著要為妹妹討公道，只丟下一句 Kill Claudio（殺了克勞狄奧）。他沒有答應，說 Not for the wide world（拿全世界來換也不幹），可她已把愛說到 I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest（愛得沒有餘地）。他終究還是答一句 I will challenge him（我去向他挑戰）。想學又愛又恨的英語，這些話最激烈。
「最愛不過某人」是 love nothing so well，愛到 I love you with so much of my heart（沒有餘地）
love nothing so well 最愛不過某人某物nothing in the world 世上任何東西都比不上in a happy hour 來得正是時候none is left 一點不剩
❝ 獨白 · 5 句 碧翠絲的怒吼
從恨自己不是男人到要吃人心，情緒一節節攀上去，收得又快又狠。
定下決心：as sure as I have a thought（十分確定），I will challenge him（去向他挑戰）
as sure as I have a thought 就像我確信自己會思考一樣確定I am engaged 我答應了I will challenge him 我去向他挑戰I must say she is dead 我只能說她死了
希羅受辱後，碧翠絲一直在哭，說要是有人肯替她 right her（討回公道），自己什麼都願意給，還感嘆可惜不是男人，因為這是 a man's office（男人分內該做的事）。培尼狄克終於表白，說 I do love nothing in the world so well as you（這世上我最愛的就是你），她回一句 I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest（愛得沒有餘地）。可當他說願意為她做任何事，她只回三個字 Kill Claudio（殺了克勞狄奧）。他先說 Not for the wide world（拿全世界來換也不幹），最後仍答應 I will challenge him（去向他挑戰），還讓她先去 Comfort your cousin（安慰你妹妹）。想學表白、下決心、又愛又恨的英語，這段句句有力。

“I do love nothing in the world so well as you.”
這世上我最愛的就是你。
兜了那麼大一個圈子，最後把最重的愛壓在一句最直的告白上。
love nothing so well as ...
真誠表達最愛時用；開玩笑場合說會顯得太隆重，別隨便用。
There is nothing I love more than you. ／ You are the one thing I could never give up.
中性
do 重讀加強語氣，nothing in the world 連讀，so well as you 放緩。
I love nothing so well as a long walk with you. 我最喜歡的就是和你一起散很久的步。
“I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.”
我心裡裝滿了愛你，一點用來反悔的餘地都不剩。
把愛和「沒有退路」綁在一起，深情裡帶著不容拒絕的狠勁。
so much of my heart that none is left to ...
把話說絕、表明沒有退路時用；日常表白這樣講會顯得過於沉重。
I love you too much to take it back now. ／ There is no corner of my heart left to refuse you.
literary
so much of 連讀，that none is left 稍慢，protest 收在重音。
I have put so much into this that none is left to doubt. 我在這件事上投入太多，已經不容自己再猶豫了。
“I would eat his heart in the market place!”
我要在集市上把他的心挖出來吃掉！
把復仇說得又血腥又豪邁，憤怒到極點反而像一句詩。
I would ... in the market place!
誇張地表達憤怒時用；真的當威脅說出口會惹麻煩。
I would tear him apart in front of everyone. ／ I would make him pay where all could see.
literary
would 重讀，eat his heart 連讀，market place 兩詞分明。
I would shout his name in the market place if it would help. 只要管用，我能在集市上把他的名字喊出來。
“He is now as valiant as Hercules that only tells a lie and swears it.”
他現在只要撒個謊再賭個咒，就勇猛得像赫拉克勒斯了。
用神話英雄來諷刺撒謊的懦夫，越抬高越顯出輕蔑。
as valiant as Hercules that ...
諷刺嘴上逞能的人時用；當面說容易把人徹底激怒。
One lie and he thinks he is a hero. ／ Swearing to a lie is his only kind of courage.
literary
valiant 與 Hercules 都重讀，that 從句輕快帶過。
One win and he is as valiant as Hercules. 才贏一場，他就勇猛得像赫拉克勒斯了。
“You dare easier be friends with me than fight with mine enemy?”
你跟我做朋友倒容易，跟我仇人打一架就那麼難？
一個對比就戳穿了對方的好脾氣，比指責更有殺傷力。
You dare easier ... than ...
逼人表態、戳穿對方和事佬姿態時用；談判桌上這樣講容易談崩。
It is easier for you to be kind than to be brave. ／ You would rather stay friends than take a side.
正式
easier 重讀，be friends 與 fight 形成對照重音。
You dare easier agree with everyone than stand with me. 你附和所有人倒容易，站出來挺我就那麼難？
“I must say she is dead.”
我只能說她死了。
一句冷到發涼的謊話，既是計策也是保護，聽著輕，分量極重。
I must say ...
不得不配合說法、對外統一口徑時用；日常撒謊是另一回事。
For now I have to say she is gone. ／ That is the story I must tell.
正式
must 重讀，say she is dead 一氣呵成，句尾下沉。
I must say the meeting is still on, whatever happens. 不管怎樣，我只能說會議照常舉行。
Oh, that I were a man! What, bear her in hand until they come to take hands, and then with public accusation, uncovered slander, unmitigated rancour... Oh, God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market place!
唉，我要是個男人就好了！ 什麼，先哄著她，等他們來牽手， 然後當眾指控，毫無遮攔地造謠，滿腔的恨…… 老天啊，我要是個男人就好了！ 我要在集市上把他的心挖出來吃掉！
下一章 · 18little better than好不到哪去這場戲：糊塗巡官審出真相碧翠絲前一秒才說完愛他，下一秒就要求他 Kill Claudio（殺了克勞狄奧），把愛和恨擠在同一段對白裡。這是全劇情緒最高的一句，也是這段戲被人反覆討論的原因。
height 在這裡是「極致、頂點」，in the height 就是「十足地、徹頭徹尾」。配上 villain，就是「十足的惡人」。碧翠絲用這句話來數落毀掉妹妹名聲的克勞狄奧。
right her。right 在這裡是動詞，意思是「糾正、替某人伸張」，right her 就是「替她討回公道、還她清白」。也常寫作 right a wrong（糾正一樁冤屈）。
字面是「拿整個廣闊的世界來換」，用在否定句裡表示「無論如何都不、絕不」。培尼狄克一句 Not for the wide world，就是「拿全世界來換我也不幹」。
直譯是「就像我確信自己會思考一樣確定」，用來把話說得斬釘截鐵。被問是否相信克勞狄奧冤枉了希羅，他答 Yea, as sure as I have a thought, or a soul，表示百分之百確信。
