Hamlet
Cambridge School Shakespeare
Act 1
Scene 1
Marcellus 认为在圣诞前夕, 雄鸡夜不停啼，鬼神不敢出游，幽灵亦消散。Horatio也相信如此。他打算告诉哈姆雷特王子关于幽灵的事。
Marcellus. It faded on the crowing of the cock.
Some say that ever, 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long;
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad,
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
Horatio. So have I heard and do in part believe it.
But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill.
Break we our watch up; and by my advice
Let us impart what we have seen to-night
Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life,
This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him.
Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,
As needful in our loves, fitting our duty?
Let's do't, I pray; and I this morning know
Where we shall find him most conveniently.
- russet mantle：reddish-coloured cloak
- hallowed: holy
练习 在第一幕结束处，破晓来临，紧张恐惧的气氛改变了，作者通过诗意的语言营造出虔诚的敬畏和惊奇。以下练习都是为了体会此气氛。
performance
- Marcellus 是个士兵，身着值夜时的盔甲，却口才雄辩。他语言中充满诗意的惊奇赞叹，不像是一个不说废话的军人。此段中对白特点：充满虔诚敬畏，坦诚而直白，又诡秘得如同一个大秘密。根据以上提示，准备此段台词。
- 当M口若悬河地描述了一番圣诞节驱鬼避邪之神奇，H回应道
So have I heard and do in part believe it.
他似乎流露出一丝怀疑。重读此句中"in part"。然后讨论H的演员表演时是否应该表现出对M的怀疑。
