婚礼上，希罗被当众指控不忠，当场昏倒；有人痛喊一句 Hath no man's dagger here a point for me?（就没有哪把匕首肯给我个了断吗）。弗朗西斯神父拦下众人，献计让她诈死，逼克劳狄奥后悔，最后再 Die to live（先死后生）。想学怎么劝服别人，记住 sway someone（说动某人），这场戏都能抄。

婚礼上，希罗被当众指控不忠，当场昏倒，里奥那托连声悲叹，说自己只生了这一个女儿。弗朗西斯神父却没有跟着绝望：他先问希罗被指控的对象是谁，再劝众人冷静，随后抛出一个大胆的计划——让希罗悄悄藏起来，对外只说她已经死了，等克劳狄奥听说她是被他那几句话逼死的，就会悔恨交加，到时再让她 Die to live（先死后生）。他还劝里奥那托，让 my counsel sway you（我的建议说动您）。想学「说动某人」sway someone、形容「沉浸在悲痛里」flow in grief，这场戏都能直接抄。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“Do not live, Hero! Do not open thine eyes!”
希罗，你别活了！别睁开眼！
父亲对昏死的女儿喊出的不是安慰，而是拒绝相信，最狠的话反倒是最深的痛。
Do not ..., do not ...
情绪崩溃、连连喊停时用；对着当事人说这类狠话会伤人，别乱用。
Don't say it. Don't even think it. ／ Stop. Just stop.
literary
两个 Do not 平行，重音落在 live 和 open，句尾下沉。
Do not touch it. Do not even look at it. 别碰它，连看都别看一眼。
“Hath no man's dagger here a point for me?”
这里就没有哪把匕首，肯给我一个痛快的了断吗？
求死不求生，一句诗意的反问把绝望说得比放声大哭更重。
Hath no ... here a ... for me?
表达走投无路的绝望时才用；日常别拿生死打比方开玩笑。
Is there no easy way out for me? ／ Will nothing here end this for me?
literary
Hath 轻读，重音在 dagger 和 me，问句尾音上扬。
Is there no quiet corner here for me? 这里就没有一个安静的角落能留给我吗？
“For my part, I am so attired in wonder, I know not what to say.”
至于我，我被惊得一身茫然，实在不知道该说什么。
用穿戴来说惊愕，把说不出口的错愕变成了看得见的衣裳。
so ... (that) I know not what to say
被突然的消息砸懵、当众语塞时用；道歉或认错的场合不合适。
I am so stunned I have no words. ／ I am too astonished to speak.
literary
attired in wonder 连读，wonder 后稍停，再落 know not。
I was so stunned by the news I know not what to say. 这消息把我惊得都不知道说什么好。
“If they wrong her honour, the proudest of them shall well hear of it.”
如果他们这样污蔑她的名节，他们当中最傲的那位，一定会亲耳听我讨个说法。
不喊不骂，只把决心压在「最傲的那位」身上，越克制越有分量。
If they ..., the proudest of them shall ...
替家人朋友撑腰放狠话时用；职场里对上级这样讲会当场翻脸。
If they cross her, they will answer to me. ／ They will hear from me if they harm her name.
正式
wrong her honour 连读，重音落在 proudest，shall 一带而过。
If they blame her unfairly, the loudest of them shall hear from me. 要是他们冤枉她，叫得最响的那个，我会让他听个明白。
“Being that I flow in grief, the smallest twine may lead me.”
既然我已经泡在悲痛里，哪怕一根细线也能牵着我走。
把悲痛比作水、把劝告比作一根细线，虚弱和顺从一句写尽。
Being that ..., the smallest ... may ...
累到极点、愿意听人安排时用；对长辈或客户说会显得在推卸责任。
I am so deep in sorrow that any nudge will move me. ／ Grief has left me ready to follow anyone.
literary
flow in 连读，smallest twine 轻快带过，may lead 放慢。
Being that I am worn out, the gentlest word may sway me. 我已经累垮了，一句软话就能说动我。
“Let her awhile be secretly kept in, and publish it that she is dead indeed.”
先把她悄悄藏起来一阵子，再对外说她已经死了。
一条把活人变成死人的计策，说得越平静越让人后背发凉。
Let ... be ..., and publish it that ...
商量怎么对外放话、遮掩真相时用；真拿来骗人就是另一回事了。
Keep her hidden and let the word go out that she is gone. ／ Hide her away and announce her death.
正式
awhile 与 secretly 轻读，dead indeed 两个重音砸下来。
Let the plan be kept quiet, and publish it that the launch is delayed. 先让计划保密，对外就说发布会推迟了。
She dying, as it must be so maintained, upon the instant that she was accused, shall be lamented, pitied, and excused of every hearer. So will it fare with Claudio. When he shall hear she died upon his words, the idea of her life shall sweetly creep into his study of imagination, and every lovely organ of her life shall come apparelled in more precious habit than when she lived indeed. Then shall he mourn, and wish he had not so accused her.
人人都得认定她已经死了， 就在她刚被指控的那一刻死去，这样人人都会为她哀伤、为她惋惜， 每个听到的人都会替她辩解。 克劳狄奥也会是这样。等他听说她是被他那几句话逼死的， 她生前的模样就会悄悄爬进他的想象里，让他翻来覆去地想， 她身上每一处可爱的地方，都会披上比生前更体面的衣裳重新浮现。 到那时他就会哀痛，会后悔当初不该那样指控她。
下一章 · 17in the height a villain十足的恶人这场戏：逼心上人替妹妹报仇sway 本指「摇摆」，引申为「动摇、说动」某人的想法。神父说 let my counsel sway you，就是「让我的建议说动您」，比 persuade 更形象。
flow in grief。flow 是「流动、沉浸」，整句就是「泡在悲伤里」。里奥那托说自己 flow in grief，连一根细线都能牵着他走。
对。字面是「死去，为了活」，神父用它概括整条计策：先让希罗假死，再让她以清白之身重新出现，等于死一次换一次新生。
「我拿灵魂担保」，是很重的起誓。碧翠丝喊 On my soul, my cousin is belied，就是拿灵魂赌希罗是被冤枉的。
对，be patient 就是「忍着点、别急」。当众人乱成一团，神父一句 Sir, be patient，既劝人镇定，也给他自己争取说话的机会。
