白板报

1、在莎士比亚剧作中，《裘里斯-凯撒》是我第二喜欢的。它是我最早完整读完原文的一出戏。今天看到BBC的影碟，那种气场跟我想象得比较接近。

2、这处戏，可以说是两段诗句撑起来的。一段是一开场，众人欢迎凯撒，讨厌凯撒的MARULLUS对众人说的：

Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
What tributaries follow him to Rome,
To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
Have you climb’d up to walls and battlements,
To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks,
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way
That comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood? Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.

3、第二段台词出自第三场第二幕，凯撒被刺死之后，安东尼骗过布鲁特斯，扶着凯撒的尸体演讲，煽动众人。

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
You all do know this mantle: I remember
The first time ever Caesar put it on;
‘Twas on a summer’s evening, in his tent,
That day he overcame the Nervii:
Look, in this place ran Cassius’ dagger through:
See what a rent the envious Casca made:
Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb’d;
And as he pluck’d his cursed steel away,
Mark how the blood of Caesar follow’d it,
As rushing out of doors, to be resolved
If Brutus so unkindly knock’d, or no;
For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar’s angel:
Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!
This was the most unkindest cut of all;
For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,
Ingratitude, more strong than traitors’ arms,
Quite vanquish’d him: then burst his mighty heart;
And, in his mantle muffling up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey’s statua,
Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.
O, what a fall was there, my countrymen!
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourish’d over us.
O, now you weep; and, I perceive, you feel
The dint of pity: these are gracious drops.
Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold
Our Caesar’s vesture wounded? Look you here,
Here is himself, marr’d, as you see, with traitors.

4、在DVD中看到扮演安东尼的演员朗诵这段台词，我才感到了莎剧的震撼力。尽管只有我一个人对着电脑，我还是情不自禁地鼓起了掌。

5、演讲的煽动力有多强，看看奥巴马就职典礼就知道了。

6、这出戏虽然叫《裘里斯-凯撒》，其实凯撒只到戏剧的大约2/3处就死掉了。这跟浦安迪研究发现的中国古典小说的规律一样。主角都在2/3-3/4处死去。在金瓶梅中，西门庆死于第77-79回，三国演义中，曹操死于第77回。主人公从头活到尾的，不是古典的叙事，那叫美剧。

让我们现实一点，世间有不少幸福是钱能买到的，钱买不到的，用其他办法也不好弄到。

今天我就买到了幸福，我收到了一套《莎士比亚戏剧集》。两周之前，我在孔夫子旧书网上闲逛，从廊坊一位店主开的随缘书店看到这套书，立即下单，花了300元，外加27元运费。

一个店主必须具备三样条件方才是个好卖家：周到，诚信，不识货。尤其是最后一条最为难得。在成都有一家旧书店，里面陈列着不少品相极好的书，但是老板太懂行了，不少书的标价都是天价。而我遇到的这位店主显然不是莎士比亚的版本学的行家，否则，他不会卖这么便宜。

这套书有何奥妙，且听我慢慢道来。朱生豪翻译的莎集，已经满大街都是了，但是你可能不知道，我们现在市面上看到的版本都是经过严重篡改的“删节本”。

我们知道，莎士比亚出身勾栏瓦舍，跟下层人民打成一片，其语言大俗大雅，雅的直冲九霄，俗的直奔三寸。而朱生豪的翻译，完全兼顾到了这些，使用了大量鄙俗的汉语口语来传达莎剧的意境，这些粗话，不应该删洁。另外，朱生豪以一人之力，翻译了莎剧31卷，成为汉译莎剧全集的第一人。翻译同一本书，先行者最难，后来者在前人译文基础上修修改改，反而非常容易。朱生豪的翻译，难免有遗漏和出错的地方，但这也是他译文的原貌，应当加以保留。

在这样的编辑思想指导下，人民文学出版社在1954年，出版了朱生豪翻译的《莎士比亚戏剧集》，共12册。后来多次重印，我买到的这一版是1962年第六次印刷。

这一版本的最大特色就是最大限度地保留了朱生豪翻译的原貌，有莎士比亚研究者经过与1949年以前的朱译版本进行了比对，证实了两者高度一致性。

然而，谁知道，这一版却成了绝响。

1978年，人民文学出版社重新出版了《莎士比亚戏剧集》，除了补足朱生豪未翻译的6部戏剧之外，对朱的译文进行了大幅度的修改与增删，尤其是删掉了原译本中大量的脏话，变成了洁本。结果，朱译面目全非。

1999年，海天出版社曾经出过一套《莎士比亚戏剧集》，据称保持了人文54版的风貌，但据研究者比对，也有增删。

现在大家知道为什么我说买到幸福了吧。这套莎集是可遇不可求的，因为在旧书市场上，全套12本、而且品相较好的54版简直是凤毛麟角。在我买这套之前，孔夫子上刚有一套以600元售出。所以，我觉得真的赚了。

但愿店主武先生不要怪我“捡漏”，毕竟我买来是为了自己看，而不是为了收藏赚钱。
