考研英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí)_關(guān)于莎士比亞作品的10個(gè)常用短語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí)
今天小編為大家整理的是關(guān)于考研英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí)中源自莎士比亞作品的10個(gè)常用短語(yǔ)，希望對(duì)大家能有所幫助也希望大家可以好好利用起來(lái)，下面就讓我們一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)一下吧。
1.Green-Eyed Monster
嫉妒
The evil Iago plants doubts in Othello`s mind about his wife`s faithfulness, while advising him, "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock / The meat it feeds on." (Othello, Act 3, Scene 3)
邪惡的伊阿古讓奧賽羅對(duì)妻子的忠心起了疑心，提醒他說(shuō)，“噢，大人，要小心嫉妒之心!那可是一只綠眼的妖魔，它慣于耍弄爪下的獵物?！?《奧賽羅》，第3幕第3場(chǎng))
2.In a Pickle
處于困境
In The Tempest, King Alonso asks his jester, Trinculo, "How camest thou in this pickle?" And the drunk Trinculo – who has indeed gotten into trouble – responds "I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last ..." (Act 5, Scene 1)
在《暴風(fēng)雨》中，那不勒斯國(guó)王阿朗索問(wèn)他的弄臣特林鳩羅，“你怎么讓自己到這般境地了?”的確深陷困境且已爛醉的特林鳩羅回答說(shuō)：“我自從上次參見(jiàn)過(guò)您之后就一直處于這般境地了…”(第5幕第1場(chǎng))
One theory has it that the phrase in a pickle entered English from an old Dutch expression that translates as something like "sit in the pickle".
有一種說(shuō)法認(rèn)為in a pickle這個(gè)短語(yǔ)來(lái)源于一個(gè)古代的荷蘭語(yǔ)表達(dá)，類(lèi)似于“坐在咸菜缸”里這樣一個(gè)說(shuō)法。
3.Love Is Blind
愛(ài)是盲目的
This phrase has more than one meaning: we overlook flaws in those we love (that`s good), but love can blind us to serious issues (that`s bad).
這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思是：我們會(huì)忽略我們愛(ài)的人身上的缺點(diǎn)(這點(diǎn)不錯(cuò));愛(ài)會(huì)讓我們忽視一些嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題(這就不好了)。
In The Merchant of Venice, Jessica is shy about her beloved Lorenzo seeing her disguised as a boy, but recognizes that it won`t affect his love for her, saying, "But love is blind and lovers cannot see / The pretty follies that themselves commit ..." (Act 2, Scene 6)
在《威尼斯商人》中，杰西卡不好意思讓深?lèi)?ài)的羅倫佐看到她偽裝成一個(gè)男孩，不過(guò)也意識(shí)到這并不妨礙他愛(ài)她，她說(shuō)，“可愛(ài)情是盲目的，愛(ài)侶們看不到他們自己犯下的那些美麗又愚蠢的錯(cuò)誤…”(第2幕，第6場(chǎng))
4.Salad Days
一個(gè)人的青春年少時(shí)光
In Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra recalls her relationship with Julius Caesar that occurred during, "My salad days, / When I was green in judgment...." (Act 1, Scene 5)
在《安東尼與克莉奧佩特拉》中，克莉奧佩特拉回憶起她與凱撒的那一段感情在“我青春年少的時(shí)光，我還不太會(huì)看人的時(shí)候…”(第1幕第5場(chǎng))
Originally, English speakers used salad days with Cleopatra`s meaning: a time of youthful inexperience or indiscretion. These days, however, it usually means "an early flourishing period" – in other words, a heyday.
最初，英語(yǔ)使用者只用salad days表示克莉奧佩特拉所說(shuō)的“青春、稚嫩的時(shí)光”。不過(guò)現(xiàn)在，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)通常表示“鼎盛時(shí)期”。
5.Wear My Heart on My Sleeve
公開(kāi)表達(dá)感情
Discussing his planned betrayal of Othello, the villain Iago says, "But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve / For daws to peck at: I am not what I am." (Othello, Act 1, Scene 1)
在說(shuō)到對(duì)奧賽羅的背叛計(jì)劃時(shí)，邪惡的伊阿古說(shuō)，“可是我會(huì)敞開(kāi)心扉，讓鳥(niǎo)兒隨意翻啄：我并不是你們看到的我?！?《奧賽羅》，第1幕第1場(chǎng))
6.There`s the Rub
這就是問(wèn)題所在
In Hamlet`s famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy, "ay, there`s the rub" is the tormented prince`s acknowledgement that death may not end his difficulties because the dead may perhaps still be troubled by dreams. (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1)
在《哈姆雷特》那句著名的“生存或者死亡”獨(dú)白中，“唉，這就是問(wèn)題所在”表示飽受折磨的王子認(rèn)識(shí)到，死亡并不能結(jié)束他的痛苦，因?yàn)樗廊丝赡苋匀粫?huì)被夢(mèng)境困擾。(《哈姆雷特》，第3幕第1場(chǎng))
7.Cruel to Be Kind
要想善良，必先殘忍;忠言逆耳
"I must be cruel only to be kind; / Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind," says the tormented Hamlet. He has just mistakenly killed Polonius, and it`s clear that he doesn`t know how bad things are going to get. (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 4)
飽受折磨的哈姆雷特說(shuō)：“要想善良，必先殘忍，壞事開(kāi)了頭，更糟糕的還在后面?！彼麆倓傉`殺了波洛尼厄斯，而且很明顯他根本不知道事情會(huì)糟糕到什么程度。(《哈姆雷特》，第3幕第4場(chǎng))
8.Wild Goose Chase
復(fù)雜又無(wú)果的追尋或搜索;徒勞無(wú)果
In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio likens the rapid exchange of jokes between Romeo and himself to the cross-country horse race of Shakespeare`s time, known as the wild goose chase, in which any number of riders tried to keep up with and accurately follow the lead rider`s course:
在《羅密歐與朱麗葉》中，馬庫(kù)修將他和羅密歐之間機(jī)智的笑話比拼比做莎士比亞時(shí)期的跨境賽馬，即“追野鵝”，比賽中所有騎手都要盡力追上并精準(zhǔn)跟隨在騎手領(lǐng)袖的陣型中：
"Nay, if our wits run the wild-goose chase, I am done; for thou / hast more of the wild goose in one of thy wits than, I am sure, I / have in my whole five." (Act 2, Scene 4)
“不行啊，如果咱們倆的智商比拼像追野鵝那樣的話，我就完蛋了，因?yàn)槟闳魏我粋€(gè)智慧陣型中的野鵝都比我全部5個(gè)陣型里的多?！?第2幕第4場(chǎng))
9.Dogs of War
戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的恐懼之處
In Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 1, a grief-stricken Mark Antony predicts that the instability following Caesar`s murder will result in civil war: "Cry `havoc!` And let slip the dogs of war!" ("Cry havoc" was the military order for soldiers to seize plunder from an enemy.)
在《凱撒大帝》第3幕第1場(chǎng)中，悲傷過(guò)度的馬克•安東尼預(yù)言稱(chēng)，凱撒大帝被謀殺后的不穩(wěn)定局勢(shì)會(huì)導(dǎo)致內(nèi)戰(zhàn)：“下令搶劫!讓?xiě)?zhàn)爭(zhēng)的恐懼溜走吧!”(Cry havoc是軍隊(duì)中的命令用語(yǔ)，指下令讓士兵從敵人手中搶掠。)
10.Strange Bedfellows
不可能結(jié)盟的兩個(gè)人;同床異夢(mèng)
When Trinculo seeks shelter from a storm under the cloak of a creature he`s very unsure about – he wonders if it`s a man or a fish – he comments "misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows." (The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 2)
特林鳩羅在一個(gè)他不知為何物的生物的斗篷下躲避暴風(fēng)雨時(shí)，他不知道那是個(gè)人還是條魚(yú)，他說(shuō)：“處于悲慘境地，人可以跟任何東西結(jié)成聯(lián)盟。”(《暴風(fēng)雨》，第2幕第2場(chǎng))
