第 2 章 · 共 25 章 · 3'34"
薇奥拉求船长 conceal me what I am（替我隐瞒身份），好让她女扮男装去侍奉公爵；船长一口答应，还发誓绝不泄密。另一头托比喝得豪爽，一句 I'll drink to her as long as there's a passage in my throat（只要嗓子还通，我就要为她干杯），安德鲁却把 accost（上前搭话）听成人名闹了笑话。

accost（上前搭话），安德鲁听成人名闹笑话
fair shrew 漂亮的泼辣女子（戏称）better acquaintance 想更进一步结识accost 上前搭话、主动攀谈board her 凑上去搭话、缠住某人
《第十二夜》这段分两处：海边，薇奥拉求船长 conceal me what I am（替我隐瞒身份），说 Thou shalt present me as an eunuch to him（把我当作阉人引荐给他），让她女扮男装去侍奉公爵；船长答应 Be you his eunuch, and your mute I'll be（你做他的阉人，我就做你的哑巴）。转到奥丽维娅府上，托比爵士只顾喝酒，说 I'll drink to her as long as there's a passage in my throat（只要嗓子还通，我就要为她干杯），还嘲笑安德鲁是个 prodigal（败家子）。安德鲁把 accost（上前搭话）听成夫人的名字，闹出笑话。想学请托、发誓和古典喜剧里的挖苦，这段很典型。

“conceal me what I am and be my aid”
替我隐瞒我的真实身份，做我的帮手。
把改换身份说成一句请求，既交代伪装也交代信任。
conceal what I am and be my ...
请人替你保密、替你掩护时，可以套这句。
Hide who I am and stand by me. ／ Keep my secret and be my ally.
literary
conceal 重读，what I am 连读，aid 收尾降调。
Conceal what I am and be my aid until the hearing is over. 在听证会结束前，替我瞒住身份，帮我一把。
“I'll confine myself no finer than I am.”
我绝不把自己约束得比本来的我更体面。
用 confine 的重复顶回去，一句立住不肯装样的姿态。
confine oneself no finer than one is
被人要求守规矩、装体面时，可以回这一句。
I won't dress myself up any finer than I am. ／ I'll be no more proper than I really am.
口语
confine 与 finer 呼应重读，than I am 轻收。
I'll confine myself no finer than I am, whatever the invitation says. 请柬怎么写都行，我不打算把自己打扮得比本人更体面。
“Oh, I'll drink to her as long as there's a passage in my throat and drink in Illyria.”
只要我喉咙里还有口气、伊利亚里亚还有酒，我就要为她干杯。
把干杯夸大到有生之年加有酒之地，豪气里全是笑点。
as long as there's a passage in my throat and ...
想夸张表达长久坚持某事时，可用 as long as 句式。
I'll toast her as long as I can swallow and there's wine in the land. ／ As long as I have breath and a bottle, I'll drink to her.
口语
as long as 一带而过，passage 与 Illyria 重读，句尾微扬。
I'll back this team as long as there's a passage in my throat and a game to watch. 只要我还有口气、还有球可看，就一直支持这支球队。
“I am sure care is an enemy to life.”
我确信忧愁是生命的大敌。
把「操心伤身」压成一句格言，短而绝对，像酒桌上的人生总结。
Care is an enemy to life.
劝人别太操心时用，带点说教味；对正在焦虑的人说会显得轻飘，别用。
Worry is the enemy of a good life. ／ Care wears life away.
literary
I am sure 轻带，care is an enemy 重读，to life 放慢收住。
Take a break; stress is an enemy to health. 歇一歇吧，压力是健康的大敌。
“These clothes are good enough to drink in.”
这身衣服够体面，穿着喝酒正合适。
用「够好到能穿着喝酒」给懒散找台阶，酒鬼的体面哲学一句说透。
These clothes are good enough to ... in.
自我调侃穿着随意时用，带酒桌腔；正式场合说会显得不讲究。
These are good enough for a night of drinking. ／ Fine clothes for a tavern.
口语
These clothes are 轻带，good enough 重读，to drink in 放慢收住。
These old jeans are good enough to paint in. 这条旧牛仔裤够用了，刷墙穿正合适。
Confine? I'll confine myself no finer than I am. These clothes are good enough to drink in. And so be these boots, too. And they be not let them hang themselves in their own straps.
守规矩？ 我可不会把自己收拾得比现在更体面。 这身衣服，喝酒正合适。 这双靴子也一样。 要是它们不中用，就让它们用自己的带子吊死好了。
下一章 · 03cut a caper蹦跳一步这场戏：吹牛跳舞又催去求爱意思是「替我隐瞒身份、别暴露我是谁」。conceal 是「隐藏」，这句是薇奥拉求船长帮她保密的恳求，古英语语序更紧凑。
word for word。它表示逐字照搬、一字不差，比如 word for word without book 就是「不看书也能一字不差地说出来」。
意思是「宦官、被阉割的侍从」。薇奥拉让船长把她当作 eunuch 引荐给公爵，是她女扮男装计划的一部分。
意思是「上前搭话、主动攀谈」，比 talk to 更正式。台词把它解释成 front her, board her, woo her, assail her，就是主动迎上去跟人搭话。
不是，是反语。gift 本是「天赋」，这里说安德鲁「天生胆小」，表面像夸，其实是损他胆小怕事、爱吵又不敢打。
