托比的回忆
My name is Toby
.
I'm an old man
,
eighty-three this spring
.
My house is right in the
middle of Stratford-upon-Avon
,
and I can watch the street market from my
window
.
But I live very quietly now
.
I'm just an old man
,
sitting in a chair
.
我叫托比,一位年迈的老人,今年春天年过
83
岁。家住艾汶河畔斯特拉福镇中心,透
过窗户,便可以望到街道的闹市。我的生活平和宁静,毕竟我已是一位要在轮椅上安度
晚年的老头子了。
I once knew the greatest man in England
.
For thirty years I was his friend
.
I worked
with him in the theatre
,
through the good times and the bad time
.
He was a good friend
to me
.
He was also the best playwright
,
the best poet
,
that ever lived in England
.
Will
Shakespeare was his name
.
我曾认识英国的一位最伟大的人物。我与他相交
30
年,同在剧团工作,也共同度过人
生中欢乐与艰辛的岁月。他是我的好友,也是英国有史以来最优秀的剧作家,最杰出的
诗人。他就是威尔
·
莎士比亚。
I saw all his plays in the theatre
.
People loved them
.
They shouted
,
laughed and
cried
,
ate oranges
,
and called for more
.
All kinds of
people
.
Kings
,
Queens
,
Princes
,
great lords and ladies
,
poor people
,
the boys who
held the horses…everyone
.
Will Shakespeare could please them all
.
我看过他所有上演的戏剧。这些戏剧颇受欢迎,也一度令观众狂喜大悲,不过他们都
希望能看到他更多的戏剧。形形色色的人,上自国王、王后、王子和豪富名女,下至贫苦
百姓和牵马的脚夫……所有的人,威尔
·
莎士比亚都能令他们开心欢娱。
He put me in a play once
.
Well
,
he used my name-Toby
.
Twelfth Night was the
play
,
I remember
.
Sir Toby Belch
.
He was a big fat man
,
who liked drinking too much
and having a good time
.
Queen Elizabeth the First watched that play-on Twelfth
Night
,
the 6th of January
,
1601
.
She liked it
,
too
.
他曾将我写进剧本,剧中用了我的原名——托比。我记得剧名为《第十二夜》,剧中的

看了此剧——《第十二夜》,也很喜欢。
Will's dead now
,
of course
.
He's been dead more than thirty years
,
and no one sees
his plays now
.
The Puritans have closed all the theatres
.
There's no singing

dancing
,
no plays
.
It wasn't like that in my young days
.
We had a good time in
London
,
Will and I…
当然威尔现在已不在人世,他过世都
30
多年了,如今没有人能看到他的戏。自从清教
徒关闭了所有的剧院,就不再有歌声、舞蹈和戏剧了。如今的情形同我年轻时与威尔在伦
敦度过的快乐时光相比已经大不一样了。
I've no teeth now
,
and my hair has all fallen out
,
but I can still think—and
remember
.
I remember when Will and I were young
,
just boys really…
现在虽然我一副老态,没有牙齿,头发也掉光了,但我还能思考——还能回忆,我记
得威尔和我年轻的时候,还是孩子的时候……

艾汶河畔的斯特拉福镇
It was a sunny day in October 1579 when I first met Will
,
just outside Stratford
,
near
a big field of apple trees
.
I saw a boy up in one of the trees
.
He had red hair and looked
about two years older than me
.
我第一次遇见威尔是在
1579
年
10
月的一天。那天,阳光明媚,就在斯特拉福镇外一
座大苹果园附近,我看见有棵苹果树上坐着一位小男孩,长着红棕色头发,看模样大概
大我两岁。
‘What are you doing up there
?’
I called
.
“
你在上边干什么?”我叫道。
‘Just getting a few apples
,’
he said
,
smiling
“
摘苹果。”他笑着答道。
‘Those are Farmer Nash's apples
,
I said
,‘
and he'll send his dogs after you if he sees
you
.’
“
那可是纳什农场主的苹果,”我说,“如果他发现了,就要放狗咬你的。”
‘Mr Nash has gone to market
,’
the boy said
.‘
Come on
!
They're good apples
.’
“
纳什先生去集市了,”男孩说道,“来吧!苹果不错。”
The next minute I was up the tree with him
.
But Will was wrong
.
Farmer Nash wasn't
