No matter how deep it is buried, it will eventually be revealed.

The third scene: Inside Polonius' house
[Laertes and Ophelia enter]
Lei: My luggage is already on board. , goodbye.
When the wind is smooth and the boat is sailing,
Don’t forget to write to me.
Ou: Do you doubt this?
Lei: As for Hamlet's interest in you,
it is just the temporary enthusiasm of young people.
Just like the beginning of love,
Full of vitality, but not eternal; sweet but not lasting,
Just leave a moment of fragrance in the air, never more!
Ou: That’s it?
Lei: That’s it.
Because human growth is not only driven by the strength of the body,
but also must be connected with the growth of the will and soul.
Maybe he truly loves you now, and maybe he is indeed a gentleman.
But you must consider that because of his life experience and status, whether his will belongs to him or not .
He does not have the freedom of ordinary people, because his decision depends on the country,
Therefore, everything has to be considered. At that time, even if he tells you that he loves you,
you can only believe him carefully,
because maybe it is just a good policy that conforms to public opinion!
Therefore, you should be careful not to fall in love with him or lose your virginity because of his love songs or pleadings.
Please take this into consideration, Ophelia, please take this into consideration, dear sister.
I advise you to stay away from the temptation of lust and to keep yourself clean;
A virgin does not reveal her beauty to the moon,
It is difficult for integrity to slander reputation.
The buds of spring are often damaged by weeds and do not bloom.
Young people are more susceptible to temptation and corruption.
You should be afraid of these, because only fear can keep you safe.
Young people are full of energy.
Ou: I should keep this lesson in mind.
However, brother,
I also hope that you will not be like some priests,
pointing me to the rough and thorny road to heaven,
But he himself embarked on a colorful road of debauchery and misbehavior.
Completely forgetting my own teachings.
Lei: You don’t need to be afraid of these.
[Polonier enters]
I have waited too long, and now my father has arrived.
A double farewell is twice as good.
I can say goodbye to my father again.
Boss: Are you still here, Laerti? Get in the boat, get in the boat quickly, you should be ashamed!
The wind has filled the sails, and the boat is waiting for you. .
You have my blessing, {kiss Laerti on the cheek}
And, I want you to keep these maxims in mind:
Inner Heart Keep silent about matters,
Don’t act on hasty thoughts,
Be friendly and avoid frivolity,
Friends in need can be friends,
Wine and meat Feelings should be kept away.
Avoid arguing with others, but if you do, make them fear you.
In everything, you need to listen more but speak less.
Listen to the opinions of others, but reserve your own judgment.
Wear the best clothes you can afford,
The materials should be noble, but avoid gaudy clothes,
Because clothes often represent a person;
I heard that French nobles are particularly particular about this.
Do not ask for a loan from a friend and do not lend to a friend,
because the latter often results in the loss of all friends.
The former is the first to waive fees.
The most important thing: Don't deceive yourself,
In this way, just as the night will follow the day, you will not deceive others.
Goodbye, I hope my prayers will enable you to fulfill the above.
Lei: I bid you a humble and heartfelt farewell, Father.
Bo: Time does not allow for more words; your attendants have been waiting for a long time.
Ray: Goodbye, Ophelia, please remember what I said to you.
Ou: It has been locked in my heart,
and only you have the key.
Ray: Goodbye.
[Rael proposed]
Boe: What did he say to you?
Europe: Tell your father something about Hamlet.
Bo: That’s a coincidence.
I also heard that he has been spending a lot of time with you recently,
and that you have openly become friends with him.
If so, then I should tell you, as I was advised:
Perhaps you do not fully understand the implications for your reputation or that of my daughter.
What is going on between you? Please tell the truth.
Ou: He has often expressed his love for me recently, father.
Bo: Falling in love? Ha! You talk like an immature little girl,
completely unaware of the seriousness of this matter.
Do you believe his so-called "shows of love" to you?
Ou: I don't know what to think, father.
Bo: Okay, let me tell you: You are like an innocent baby,
taking these counterfeit love coins he gave you as real money.
You must increase your worth,
Otherwise, you will make me - to use a common saying - a fool (Note 1)!
Ou: {Surprised} But, father, he is sincere in pursuing me.
Bo: Forget what you call sincerity, forget it.
Ou: He also solemnly swore to God.
Bo: Bah, these are just traps to catch stupid birds!
I also know that when people are driven by passion, all they say are sweet words.
These flames, my daughter, are only bright but not hot,
and will soon be extinguished - even as he promises you.
You must not regard it as the true fire of love.
From today on, you should stay away from him and never call him.
For Your Highness Hamlet, you only need to remember that he is still young,
and you have no worries.
In short, Ophelia, don’t believe his promises to you,
because they lack the color of reality, but are just false feelings and improper evil. Ask for it.
This is the last time I tell you clearly:
From now on, I will not allow you to waste your precious time talking to His Highness Hamlet.
This is my order and you must do it.
Let's go!
Ou: I will obey your orders.
[Two people come out]

The fourth scene: On a platform of the city wall
[Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcello enter. ]
Ha: The wind is biting, so cold!
He: It bites really hard.
Ha: What time is it now?
He: It’s not even twelve o’clock yet.
M: No, the bell has already rung.
He: Really? I didn't hear it.
It’s almost time for the soul to travel.
[The sound of trumpets came from the castle, plus two loud blasts of cannons. ]
What is this, Your Highness?
Ha: The king is drinking and having fun, singing and dancing.
When he poured a large cup of wine down his throat,
the drums and trumpets sounded to cheer him up.
He: Is this a custom?
Ha: Yes, it is.
However, in my opinion, although I am also a local,
it is better not to observe this custom,
because these drunken carnivals are only It will cause outsiders to laugh at us;
They have tarnished our reputation and called us drunkards and pigs.
Even if we have our glorious achievements, these names will really bring shame on us.
Some people often suffer similar experiences.
They suffer from natural misfortune, such as inheriting certain defects - which cannot be blamed on them,
because they cannot choose their parents - or due to the error of yin and yang. Losing their minds,
or because their behavior is different, they will always be ostracized by the world.
No matter how noble and pure their hearts are,
Their reputation will always be ruined by this flaw.
A small stain can erase all the good qualities of a person.
[Ghost enters]
He: Look! Your Highness, it is coming!
Ha: God bless us!
{ To ghosts}
Whether you are a good soul or an evil ghost,
what you bring is the fragrance of heaven or the flames of hell,
your Intentions are malicious or charitable,
Your appearance makes me ask you:
I will call you Hamlet, King, Father, King of Denmark,
Ah, answer me, don't let me explode in ignorance.
/p>
Why must the dead body return to the world fully armed, haunting the moonlight, making the night scary?
It also troubles the living, unable to think about its meaning?
Tell us why, why? What do you want us to do?
[The ghost gestures with his hands]
He: It beckons you over. It seems to want to talk to you alone.
Horse: Look, it greets you politely and wants to take you to a distant place.
But don't go with it.
He: Don’t go, don’t go!
Ha: Since it is speechless, I have no choice but to go with it.
He: Don’t go, Your Highness!
Ha: What’s there to be afraid of?
I have long regarded my life as lighter than a feather;
As for my soul, it is also an eternal thing, what can it do to it?
It waved to me again. I passed.
He: What if it lures you to the edge of the ocean or a cliff on the shore,
and then reveals its terrifying true form, causing you to lose your mind or go crazy? What should you do?
Your Highness, please think again!
Just a bird's-eye view of the Bohai Sea from a high cliff will make you dizzy and have strange thoughts in your mind.
How about now?
Ha: It beckons again.
{To the ghost} Let's go, I'll go with you.
Ma: Your Highness, don’t go!
Ha: Throw your hands away!
He: Listen to us, don’t go!
Ha: {Struggle to break free} My soul is crying,
My veins are filled with the courage of the Nemen Lion (Note 1).
It called me again. Let me go, gentlemen.
I swear, if anyone stops me, I will turn him into a ghost!
Go away! I said. {Suddenly draws out the long sword}
{To the ghost} Let's go, I'll go with you.
[The ghost appears, followed by Hamlet]
He: He is mad.
Ma: Let’s go with him. We can’t listen to him.
He: We follow him to see what happens.
Horse: Something bad is going to happen in Denmark.
He: God has his own plan.
Ma: No, let’s follow!
[Everyone comes out]

Scene 5: On the city wall
[The ghost and Hamlet enter]
Ha: Where are you taking me? Answer me, I won’t go anymore .
Ghost: Listen to me.
Ha: Okay.
Ghost: It’s daybreak,
Then I will return to the place burned by fire and brimstone.
Ha: Alas, poor ghost.
Ghost: Don't pity me, but please pay attention to what I am about to reveal.
Ha: Please tell me, I will definitely listen.
Ghost: After hearing this, will you take revenge?
Ha: What?
Ghost: I am your father’s spirit.
At this time, I am wandering through the night because of my sentence, and the fire is burning in the sun,
until the evil obstacles of my life are washed away and burned away.
I am so miserable that I cannot express my suffering in prison.
Otherwise, I have a story to tell.
It will It will cause your heart to ache, your blood to freeze, your eyes to bulge, your hair to curl straight, and your hair to stand on end.
It is a pity that the secrets of the hereafter must not be revealed to the ears of flesh and blood!
Listen to it, listen to it, listen to it, if you have loved your father's words.
Ha: Oh, God!
Ghost: Revenge for his cruel and anti-ethical murder!
Ha: Murder!
Ghost: Murder is usually vicious,
but this is the most vicious, strange, and unethical murder.
Ha: Tell me quickly, I will fly to avenge you in a flash.
Ghost: Well said!
If you are not heartbroken after hearing this,
then you are worse than a reed born on the bank of the Forgotten Soul River. Weaker.
Hamlet, listen:
Legend has it that I was bitten by a viper while taking my siesta in the garden,
and all the eyes and ears of Denmark were so deceived. .
But, you have to know that the poisonous snake that bit your father to death is wearing his crown at the moment!
Ha: Ha, as I expected, my uncle!
Ghost: Yes, he is that incestuous and adulterous beast.
He used his cunning sorcery, his rebellious mind, and his seductive skills to seduce my seemingly innocent queen and beguile her into his shameless ways. wild desire.
Alas, Hamlet, what a sad fall,
By my solemn and unwavering love, just as I promised her when we got married. Promise,
She has fallen to this day and made love to such a despicable person with such low talent.
Exactly:
A chaste woman will not be deceived by lust, even though her lust can disguise herself as an angel;
A slut will always molest herself on the holy bed, even though she is holy Lianli.
Wait a minute, I can smell the morning breath,
So let me quickly say:
One day when I was taking a nap in the garden as usual,
p>
Your uncle took advantage of my unpreparedness and poured a bottle of abominable poison into my ears.
As soon as this paralyzing venom sees human blood,
it flows into all the veins as fast as mercury.
After a while of churning, it coagulates the originally thin and healthy blood into a paste,
just like strong acid dripping into milk.
This venom has the same effect on me.
It caused the smooth skin all over my body to suddenly ulcerate,
and was covered with thick scabs like tree bark,
as if I was suffering from madness.
My life, crown, and queen were snatched away by my brothers in my sleep in just such an instant,
leaving me with no chance to repent of my sins before my death, or to accept them. The blessing of the sacrament,
and unprepared to go to the underworld for trial. Ah, it’s terrible, it’s terrible, it’s terrible! (Note 1)
If you have a conscience, please don’t endure it silently.
Don’t let the bed of the Danish royal family become a hateful place of lust and incest. The couch.
But no matter how you go about this, don't let your mind sprout the idea of ??revenge on your mother.
Leave her to the judges of heaven, and let her be condemned and poked by her own conscience.
Now I must say goodbye to you in a hurry. The light of the fireflies has faded, and dawn is near.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, please remember me.
[Ghosts come out]
Ha: Oh, the gods of heaven and earth! What else?
Do we also want to call evil ghosts from hell?
Alas, {covering chest} My heart must not be broken, my muscles must not grow old,
Let me stand firm.
Remember you? Yes, poor ghost, as long as my stupid head can still remember.
Remembering you? Yes, I will sweep away all the trivial matters in my memory, the wisdom in the book,
and the experiences gained in my youth.
Only your instructions will remain in my mind and will never be mixed with other things.
Yes, I swear to God.
Ah, the most vicious woman!
Ah, villain, villain, damn villain with a smile on his face!
My notes {search his mouth }, I should write this down:
"Someone can laugh and laugh and still be a villain,"
At least in Denmark I can be sure of this. [Writing and speaking]
Okay, uncle, I wrote it down.
From now on my motto will be: "Farewell, farewell, please remember me," I swear!
[Horricio and Marcello enter]
p>H: Your Highness! Your Highness!
H: Your Highness Hamlet!
H: God bless him!
Ha: [Private] I hope in this way.
Horse: Hehe, hehe, hehe (Note 2), Your Highness!
Ha: Hehe, hehe, hehe, little boy. Come, come birds.
Ma: Your Highness, you are in good health?
He: What have you heard?
Ha: Ah, this is shocking!
He ：Okay, Your Highness, tell us.
Ha: No, you will tell others about it.
He: I won’t, Your Highness, I swear.
Ma: Neither can I, Your Highness.
Ha: {start to say}
How to say...Does anyone think so...
{Stop suddenly}
Will you keep it secret?
He and Ma: Yes, we swear.
Hah: {Moves closer and whispers}
There is no villain in Denmark who is not a pure gangster...
Hah: Your Highness, there is no need. A ghost came out of the grave and told us this!
Ha: Oh, yes, you are absolutely right.
Okay, let's stop here and shake hands and say goodbye.
Everyone has something to do, so we should go our separate ways.
As for me, I have to go pray.
He: What you said is incoherent, Your Highness.
Ha: I'm sorry it offended you, I really, really mean it.
He: It doesn’t matter, Your Highness.
Hah: No, in the name of St. Patrick, it does matter, Horatio, very much.
Let me say this: What we just saw was a real ghost.
If you want to know what we talked about, please bear with me for a moment.
Friends - you are worthy of being good friends, scholars, and soldiers -
Please grant my small request.
He: What is your request, Your Highness? We will agree to it.
Ha: Never reveal what we saw tonight.
He and Ma: We can’t, Your Highness.
Ha: No, swear.
He: I swear, Your Highness, I won’t.
Ma: I also swear that I won’t, Your Highness.
Ha: I swear by my sword {Note 3}.
Ma: We have sworn an oath, Your Highness.
Ha: {Hold on} Yes, but this time pressing my sword, yes.
Ghost: [By Underground] Swear!
Ha: Ah, ha, boy, you said so too? Were you there? Honest old fellow.
Come on, you also heard what the guy in the cellar said, take an oath!
He: Please propose the oath you want, Your Highness.
Ha: "Never reveal what I have seen today." ’ Swear by my sword. {Everyone puts their hands on the sword}
Ghost: {From another place underground} Swear!
[Everyone swears]
Ha: I’ll be here later. , where will it be? Okay, let's change places.
Come here, gentlemen,
put your hands on my sword again,
and swear by the sword:
Never reveal what I have heard today. 』
Ghost: I swear by his sword!
[Everyone swears]
Ha: Well said, old mole, you are so good at digging holes. Quick? What a pioneer!
Let's move again, friends.
Hah: Ah, day and night, this is such a strange thing!
Hah: Just welcome it as a stranger.
The heavens and the earth are vast, Horatio, and there are more than you can dream of.
Come on, just like before, swear you'll never... God help you.
No matter how weird my behavior may be in the future - because maybe I am pretending to be crazy on purpose -
If you see me like that then,
Please don't tie your hands like this, or shake your head {like that},
Or say something like a riddle, "Well, we know...",
or "We can, if we like...",
or "If we want to talk...",
or "Some people can say more "More...",
or other ambiguous words to imply that you know the truth about me.
Swear these, by the mercy of God, in your hour of greatest need.
Ghost: Swear!
[Everyone swears]
Ha: Rest in peace, rest in peace, the dead souls who have no rest.
{To Horatio and Marcello}
Well, gentlemen,
The humble Hamlet is here to express his sincere love for you. Friendship and care,
although God knows you do not lack these two.
Let us go into the castle together.
Also, please don’t forget, I beg you to keep your mouth shut.
The current situation is really bad. Alas, it’s a shame that I am the one designated to handle this matter.
That’s okay! Come on, let’s go together.
[All come out]
