第 23 章 · 共 24 章 · 2'05"
好訊息傳來：希羅是被冤枉的，唐約翰才是主謀，人已經跑了。有人趁勢立誓 I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap（我願活在你心裡，死在你的膝上）；也有人當面向里奧那托求親，說您侄女看我時 an eye of favour（帶著青睞）。想學怎麼把情話說得又誇張又動人，這場戲全是範本。

好訊息終於傳到：有人匆匆進來報，希羅是被冤枉的，親王和克勞狄奧都受了騙，主謀唐約翰已經逃走。隨後一句誇張的情話脫口而出：I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes（我願活在你心裡，死在你的膝上，葬在你的眼裡）。里奧那托安排女士們戴面罩退下，讓安東尼奧替兄弟的女兒盡父親的本分，把她許給克勞狄奧；有人又當面求娶他的侄女，說您侄女看我時 an eye of favour（帶著青睞）。眾人說，一切 sort so well（圓滿收場）。想學誇張的情話、想說「青睞」an eye of favour 或「圓滿收場」，這一場都齊了。

“You must come to your uncle. Yonder's old coil at home.”
您得去見您叔父。家裡那邊正鬧得不可開交。
兩句就把急事說滿：先叫人動身，再點出家裡亂作一團，催促感十足。
You must come to someone. Yonder's ...
急著叫人回去、報家裡出事時用；平常約人見面別這麼喊。
You need to come to your uncle now. ／ There is a mess at home, so come quickly.
中性
Yonder's 連讀成一詞，old coil 重讀，at home 收尾。
You must come to your parents. There is trouble at home. 你得趕緊去見你父母，家裡出事了。
“I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes, and moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle's.”
我願活在你心裡，死在你的膝上，葬在你的眼裡；而且，我還要陪你到你叔父家去。
三層排比一路推向「葬在你眼裡」，最後卻拐回一句家常的陪你走，又深情又好笑。
I will live in your heart, die in your lap ...
半開玩笑地誇張表白、又落到一件具體小事時用；正經求婚別這麼油。
I'd live in your heart and die in your arms. ／ I'd be buried in your eyes if I could.
literary
live in thy 連讀，die in thy lap 放慢，moreover 後一頓。
I will live in your smile and die in your laugh, and then I will walk you home. 我願活在你的笑容裡，死在你的笑聲裡；然後，我送你回家。
“I am glad that all things sort so well.”
我很高興，一切都收得這麼好。
一句輕描淡寫的收束，把眾人折騰許久的亂局一句話安頓下來。
I am glad that all things sort so well
風波過後慶幸收場順利時用；事情還沒完就別急著這麼說。
I'm glad it all worked out so well. ／ It is good to see things end this way.
中性
glad that 連讀，sort so well 三詞放慢。
I am glad that all things sort so well after such a week. 折騰了一星期，我很高興一切都收得這麼好。
“You must be father to your brother's daughter, and give her to young Claudio.”
你得替兄弟的女兒盡父親的本分，把她許配給年輕的克勞狄奧。
把一場婚禮說成兩件事：替人當父親、把姑娘交出去，責任和託付都在裡頭。
You must be father to someone, and give her to ...
勸人出面主婚、替長輩做主時用；婚禮上直接對新郎說會失禮。
You must stand as her father and give her away. ／ Act as her father and hand her to him.
正式
father to 連讀，give her to 連讀，Claudio 重讀。
You must be father to the girl and give her to the young man. 你得給這姑娘當父親，把她交給那個年輕人。
“To bind me or undo me, one of them.”
或是成全我，或是毀了我，總得選一樣。
把婚姻說成生死二選一，短短九個字，豁出去的語氣撲面而來。
To bind me or undo me
把一件事說成非成即敗的選擇時用；真做重大決定前別隻說狠話。
Either it makes me or breaks me. ／ This will save me or ruin me.
正式
bind me 連讀，or undo me 稍停，one of them 乾脆。
This job will make me or undo me, one of them. 這份工作要麼成就我，要麼毀了我，總歸是其中一樣。
“Signior Leonato, truth it is, good signior, your niece regards me with an eye of favour.”
里奧那托老爺，實不相瞞，好老爺，您侄女瞧我的眼神里，帶著幾分情意。
把求親說得繞有禮數，一句「眼中有情」比直說喜歡更委婉，也更紳士。
regard someone with an eye of favour
文雅地暗示對方有人喜歡時用；朋友間直接說會顯得做作。
Your niece looks on me kindly. ／ She has an eye for me, I believe.
正式
truth it is 連讀，eye of favour 放慢重讀。
She regards the new teacher with an eye of favour. 她看那位新老師，眼裡帶著幾分好感。
Signior Leonato, truth it is, good signior, your niece regards me with an eye of favour. The sight whereof you had from me, Claudio and the prince. - What's your will? - Your answer is enigmatical... but my will is your good will may stand with ours this day to be conjoined in the state of honourable marriage, in which, good Friar, I shall desire your help.
里奧那托老爺，實不相瞞，好老爺，您侄女瞧我的眼神里，帶著幾分情意。 這一點，您早就從我和克勞狄奧、親王那裡聽說過了。 ——你有什麼打算？——你的回答叫人猜不透…… 可我的意思是，願您的好意跟我們的一致，就在今天 結為光榮的夫妻；這事，好神父，還得請您幫襯。
下一章 · 24hands against our hearts手跡拆穿了真心這場戲：嘴硬否認被情書拆穿就是「青眼、青睞」，指看人時帶著好感。求親的人說 your niece regards me with an eye of favour，就是「您侄女看我的眼神里有情意」。
sort so well。sort 在這裡是「發展、結果」，things sort so well 就是「事情都收得圓滿、結局順遂」。
不是。coil 在古英語裡指騷動、忙亂，old coil 就是「一場大亂子、一通瞎折騰」。報信的人說家裡 old coil，就是那邊正鬧得不可開交。
是很客氣的「勞您費心」。entreat 是懇求，pains 指辛苦；求神父幫忙主持婚禮時說這句，比 please help me 更鄭重。
更準確是「叫人猜不透的」。對方答話繞來繞去，你聽不懂他到底要什麼，就可以說 your answer is enigmatical。
