Chapter 5 The plague years
Chapter 5 瘟疫流行時期
Will wrote his play Richard III for Richard Burbage,and it was a great success.
威爾為理查·白貝芝編寫了劇本《理查三世》,獲得巨大成功。
Richard the Third was a wicked king—a murderer-but he was wonderful on the stage,with Burbage's great voice and fine acting.
劇中的理查三世是個虛偽狡詐的暴君—一個謀權(quán)篡位的兇手—由于白貝芝雄渾的嗓音和精彩的表演使這一形象在舞臺上活靈活現(xiàn)。
Soon all London was saying King Richard's famous words when his horse is killed in war:
不久全倫敦傳遍了理查王在戰(zhàn)場上由于戰(zhàn)馬挨了一刀而摔倒時高喊的那句名言:
A horse!a horse!my kingdom for a horse!
來一匹馬!來一匹馬吧!我的王位換一匹馬!
All kinds of people came to see plays and Will was making a lot of new friends.
形形色色的人慕名來看戲,威爾也因此結(jié)交了許多新朋友。
One day,after the play,he was talking to a young man outside the Rose.
一天,演出結(jié)束后,我看見在玫瑰劇院外他正和一個年輕人交談。
He was a very beautiful young man,a bit like a girl,perhaps—but still very good-looking.
這人年少英俊,或許有點像女孩,不過依然相貌堂堂。
