这场戏：喜讯传来后两对定情
第 23 章 · 共 24 章 · 2'05"
好消息传来：希罗是被冤枉的，唐约翰才是主谋，人已经跑了。有人趁势立誓 I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap（我愿活在你心里，死在你的膝上）；也有人当面向里奥那托求亲，说您侄女看我时 an eye of favour（带着青睐）。想学怎么把情话说得又夸张又动人，这场戏全是范本。
他立誓「活在你心里」：I will live in thy heart
in haste 急匆匆地old coil 大乱子、瞎折腾mightily abused 被骗得很惨live in thy heart 活在你心里

好消息终于传到：有人匆匆进来报，希罗是被冤枉的，亲王和克劳狄奥都受了骗，主谋唐约翰已经逃走。随后一句夸张的情话脱口而出：I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes（我愿活在你心里，死在你的膝上，葬在你的眼里）。里奥那托安排女士们戴面罩退下，让安东尼奥替兄弟的女儿尽父亲的本分，把她许给克劳狄奥；有人又当面求娶他的侄女，说您侄女看我时 an eye of favour（带着青睐）。众人说，一切 sort so well（圆满收场）。想学夸张的情话、想说「青睐」an eye of favour 或「圆满收场」，这一场都齐了。

“You must come to your uncle. Yonder's old coil at home.”
您得去见您叔父。家里那边正闹得不可开交。
两句就把急事说满：先叫人动身，再点出家里乱作一团，催促感十足。
You must come to someone. Yonder's ...
急着叫人回去、报家里出事时用；平常约人见面别这么喊。
You need to come to your uncle now. ／ There is a mess at home, so come quickly.
中性
Yonder's 连读成一词，old coil 重读，at home 收尾。
You must come to your parents. There is trouble at home. 你得赶紧去见你父母，家里出事了。
“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.”
我愿活在你心里，死在你的膝上，葬在你的眼里；而且，我还要陪你到你叔父家去。
三层排比一路推向「葬在你眼里」，最后却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 ...
半开玩笑地夸张表白、又落到一件具体小事时用；正经求婚别这么油。
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 连读，die in thy lap 放慢，moreover 后一顿。
I will live in your smile and die in your laugh, and then I will walk you home. 我愿活在你的笑容里，死在你的笑声里；然后，我送你回家。
“I am glad that all things sort so well.”
我很高兴，一切都收得这么好。
一句轻描淡写的收束，把众人折腾许久的乱局一句话安顿下来。
I am glad that all things sort so well
风波过后庆幸收场顺利时用；事情还没完就别急着这么说。
I'm glad it all worked out so well. ／ It is good to see things end this way.
中性
glad that 连读，sort so well 三词放慢。
I am glad that all things sort so well after such a week. 折腾了一星期，我很高兴一切都收得这么好。
“You must be father to your brother's daughter, and give her to young Claudio.”
你得替兄弟的女儿尽父亲的本分，把她许配给年轻的克劳狄奥。
把一场婚礼说成两件事：替人当父亲、把姑娘交出去，责任和托付都在里头。
You must be father to someone, and give her to ...
劝人出面主婚、替长辈做主时用；婚礼上直接对新郎说会失礼。
You must stand as her father and give her away. ／ Act as her father and hand her to him.
正式
father to 连读，give her to 连读，Claudio 重读。
You must be father to the girl and give her to the young man. 你得给这姑娘当父亲，把她交给那个年轻人。
“To bind me or undo me, one of them.”
或是成全我，或是毁了我，总得选一样。
把婚姻说成生死二选一，短短九个字，豁出去的语气扑面而来。
To bind me or undo me
把一件事说成非成即败的选择时用；真做重大决定前别只说狠话。
Either it makes me or breaks me. ／ This will save me or ruin me.
正式
bind me 连读，or undo me 稍停，one of them 干脆。
This job will make me or undo me, one of them. 这份工作要么成就我，要么毁了我，总归是其中一样。
“Signior Leonato, truth it is, good signior, your niece regards me with an eye of favour.”
里奥那托老爷，实不相瞒，好老爷，您侄女瞧我的眼神里，带着几分情意。
把求亲说得绕有礼数，一句「眼中有情」比直说喜欢更委婉，也更绅士。
regard someone with an eye of favour
文雅地暗示对方有人喜欢时用；朋友间直接说会显得做作。
Your niece looks on me kindly. ／ She has an eye for me, I believe.
正式
truth it is 连读，eye of favour 放慢重读。
She regards the new teacher with an eye of favour. 她看那位新老师，眼里带着几分好感。
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.
里奥那托老爷，实不相瞒，好老爷，您侄女瞧我的眼神里，带着几分情意。 这一点，您早就从我和克劳狄奥、亲王那里听说过了。 ——你有什么打算？——你的回答叫人猜不透…… 可我的意思是，愿您的好意跟我们的一致，就在今天 结为光荣的夫妻；这事，好神父，还得请您帮衬。
下一章 · 24hands against our hearts手迹拆穿了真心这场戏：嘴硬否认被情书拆穿就是「青眼、青睐」，指看人时带着好感。求亲的人说 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 在这里是「发展、结果」，things sort so well 就是「事情都收得圆满、结局顺遂」。
不是。coil 在古英语里指骚动、忙乱，old coil 就是「一场大乱子、一通瞎折腾」。报信的人说家里 old coil，就是那边正闹得不可开交。
是很客气的「劳您费心」。entreat 是恳求，pains 指辛苦；求神父帮忙主持婚礼时说这句，比 please help me 更郑重。
更准确是「叫人猜不透的」。对方答话绕来绕去，你听不懂他到底要什么，就可以说 your answer is enigmatical。
