莎士比亚戏剧故事:英汉对照:a bilingual edition

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE Shylock, the Jew, lived at Venice: he was an usurer, who had amassed an immense fortune by lending money at great interest to Christian merchants. Shylock, being a hard-hearted man, exacted the payment of the money he lent with such severity that he was much disliked by all good men, and particularly by Antonio, a young merchant of Venice; and Shylock as much hated Antonio, because he used to lend money to people in distress, and would never take any interest for the money he lent; therefore there was great enmity between this covetous Jew and the generous merchant Antonio. Whenever Antonio met Shylock on the Rialto（or Exchange）, he used to reproach him with his usuries and hard dealings, which the Jew would bear with seeming patience, while he secretly meditated revenge. 威尼斯商人 犹太人夏洛克住在威尼斯，他是个放印子钱的。他靠着放高利贷给信基督教的商人，捞了很大一笔家私。这个夏洛克为人刻薄，讨起债来十分凶恶，所以善良的人都讨厌他。威尼斯有一个叫安东尼奥的年轻商人，特别嫌恶夏洛克，夏洛克也同样恨他，因为安东尼奥时常借钱给遇到困难的人，而且从来也不收利息。因此，这个贪婪的犹太人就跟慷慨的商人安东尼奥结下了很深的仇恨。每逢安东尼奥在市场（或是交易所）上碰到夏洛克，他总责备夏洛克不该放高利贷，跟人打交道不该那样刻薄。那个犹太人假装很耐心地听着，其实心里却暗自打主意报复。 ROMEO AND JULIET The two chief families in Verona were the rich Capulets and the Montagues. There had been an old quarrel between these families, which was grown to such a height, and so deadly was the enmity between them, that it extended to the remotest kindred, to the followers and retainers of both sides, insomuch that a servant of the house of Montague could not meet a servant of the house of Capulet, nor a Capulet encounter with a Montague by chance, but fi erce words and sometimes bloodshed ensued; and frequent were the brawls from such accidental meetings, which disturbed the happy quiet of Verona’s streets. 罗密欧与朱丽叶 有钱的凯普莱特家和蒙太古家是维洛那城的两个大族。两家之间旧日发生过一场争吵，后来越吵越厉害，仇恨结得非常深，连*远的亲戚，甚至两方的侍从和仆役都牵连上了，弄得只要蒙太古家的仆人撞见凯普莱特家的仆人，或是凯普莱特家的人偶然碰到蒙太古家的人，他们就会骂起来，有时候还会接着闹出流血的事情。这种偶尔相遇就吵起来的事情时常发生，把维洛那街巷可喜的清静都扰乱了。
