At first，the talk was all about King James and his court．

We didn't like the King so much now—he was more interest-ed in horses than in plays．
說(shuō)實(shí)在的，我們現(xiàn)在不大喜歡這位國(guó)王了—他愛(ài)看賽馬已勝過(guò)愛(ài)看戲。

嗨，威爾，你怎么把波希米亞這地方說(shuō)成是在海邊呢？他說(shuō)道，
Bohemia's in the middle of Europe！

There's no sea for a hundred miles，you stupid man！
方圓一百英里根本就沒(méi)有海，你真糊涂！
Your plays are very clever，Ben，Richard Burbage said，
本，你創(chuàng)作的劇本確實(shí)很妙，理查·白貝芝說(shuō)，
but they smell of the schoolbook，don't they，Will？
不過(guò)太書(shū)卷氣，威爾，你說(shuō)呢？
Will laughed．How many people are going to worry about that，Ben？
威爾笑道：本，會(huì)有幾個(gè)人去深究那些細(xì)節(jié)呢？
What does it matter？
這有什么關(guān)系呢？
They liked the play at court．

What a terrible man you are，Ben！
本，你真是無(wú)可救藥！
