Will married Anne Hathaway in November, and she came to live in Henley Street John Shakespeare was pleased that his oldest son was married, but I don' t think Will' s mother wanted him to marry so young Families cost a lot of money, and John Shakespeare was having a lot of money troubles in those days Times were hard in Henley Street |

|
Susanna was born the next May All babies look the same to me, but Will was very pleased with her |
|
cì nián 5 yuè nǚ ér sū shān nà chū shì. duì wǒ lái shuō, suǒ yǒu de hái zi méi shén me bù yí yàng, dàn wēi ěr xīn xǐ ruò kuáng. |
|
' Look, Toby, she' s got my eyes,' he said happily' She' s going to be as beautiful as the Queen of Egypt, and as clever as King Solomon' |
|
" tuō bǐ, nǐ qiáo, tā de yǎn jīng zhǎng de zhēn xiàng wǒ," tā gāo xìng dì shuō zhe," zhǎng dà hòu, tā huì měi lì rú āi jí yàn hòu, cōng míng rú suǒ luó mén guó wáng." |
|
' Oh yes?' I said' All parents talk like that about their children I don' t believe a word of it' |
|
" shì ma?" wǒ shuō," suǒ yǒu fù mǔ dōu shì zhè me shuō zì jǐ de hái zi. wǒ kě bù xìn." |
|
I didn' t see much of Will' s wife I knew she didn' t like me To her, I was one of Will' s wild friends, who got him into trouble She came from a very serious, Puritan family Lots of churchgoing, and no singing or dancing |
|
wǒ bù cháng jiàn dào wēi ěr fū rén, yě qīng chǔ tā bù xǐ huān wǒ. duì tā ér yán, wǒ shì wēi ěr de yí gè cū yě péng yǒu, zhè zhǒng péng yǒu zhǐ huì ràng tā chū má fán. tā chū shēng yú yí gè qián chéng de qīng jiào tú jiā tíng, chú le qù jiào táng wài gēn běn bù dǒng yīn yuè hé wǔ dǎo. |
|
Soon there was another baby on the way, and one evening in February 1585 I hurried round to Henley Street to hear the news Will' s sister, Joan, opened the door, and then Will came running down the stairs |
|
bù jiǔ, yòu yí gè hái zi yào chū shì le. 1585 nián 2 yuè de yí gè yè wǎn wǒ jí cōng cōng dì gǎn dào hēng lǐ jiē qù dǎ tīng xiāo xī. wēi ěr de mèi mei qióng wèi wǒ kāi le mén, jiē zhe jiù jiàn wēi ěr pǎo xià lóu tī. |
|
' It' s two of them!' he said' Twins! A girl and a boy Isn' t that wonderful!' |
|
" yī tāi liǎng gè ne!" tā shuō dào," shì shuāng bāo tāi! yī nǚ yī nán. zhēn shì miào jí le!" |
|
Will had some good friends, Hamnet and Judith Sadler, and he called the twins after them John Shakespeare was very pleased to have his first grandson, and everyone was happy For a while |
|
wēi ěr gēn jù hǎo yǒu hā mǔ nài tè hé zhū dí sī sāi dé lēi de míng zì gěi luán shēng zǐ nǚ qǐ le míng. yuē hàn shā shì bǐ yà jiàn dì yí gè sūn zi chū shì, yóu zhōng dì gāo xìng, yǒu yī duàn shí jiān, měi yí ge rén dōu hěn kuài lè. |
|
Will and I still went around together when we could He was still reading, and writing, and soon I could see a change in him He was twentythree now, and he was not happy with his life |
|
zhǐ yào yǒu jī huì wēi ěr hé wǒ réng rán jīng cháng lái wǎng, tā yī rán dú shū xiě zuò, dàn shì bù jiǔ, wǒ fā xiàn tā biàn le. dāng shí tā 23 suì, dàn duì shēng huó bù zài zhī zú. |
|
' Stratford' s too small, Toby,' he said' Too slow Too quiet Too boring I' ve got to get away' |
|
" tuō bǐ, sī tè lā fú zhèn shí zài tài xiǎo le," tā shuō dào," fā zhǎn huǎn màn, shēng huó níng jìng, rì zi yòu dān diào, wǒ bì xū lí kāi cǐ dì." |
|
' Yes, but how?' I asked' You' ve got a family three young children, remember' |
|
" shì a, kě zěn me lí kāi ne?" wǒ wèn dào," bié wàng le, nǐ yǐ jīng chéng jiā hái yǒu sān ge hái zi." |
|
He didn' t answer |
|
tā méi yǒu dá huà. |
|
In the summer months companies of players often came to small towns, and in 1587 five different companies came Will and I always went to see the plays Will loved to talk to the actors and to listen to all their stories of London |
|
xià tiān jīng cháng yǒu jù tuán dào xiǎo zhèn xún huí yǎn chū, 1587 nián fēn bié lái le wǔ gè jù tuán. wēi ěr hé wǒ zǒng shì jié bàn qù kàn xì. wēi ěr ài zhǎo yǎn yuán men jiāo tán, tīng tā men jiǎng fā shēng zài lún dūn de gù shì. |
|
The Queen' s Men came to Stratford in June, and we went to see the play I don' t remember what it was I know that I laughed a lot, and that Will said it was a stupid play, with not a word of poetry in it |
|
6 yuè" nǚ wáng jù tuán" lái dào sī tè lā fú zhèn, wǒ men yòu qù kàn xì. zhè chū xì de nèi róng wǒ yǐ jì bù qīng chǔ, zhǐ jì de dāng shí kàn le zhí xiào, dàn shì wēi ěr shuō zhè xì hěn zāo gāo, méi yǒu yī jù xiàng yàng de shī gē. |
|
' Why don' t you write a play yourself?' I told him |
|
" nà nǐ wèi shí me bù zì jǐ dòng shǒu xiě jù běn ne?" wǒ gào sù tā. |
|
' Write a play?' He laughed' Anne would never speak to me again' |
|
" xiě jù běn?" tā dà xiào," zhè yàng de huà, ān kě zài yě bù lǐ wǒ le." |
|
I didn' t say anything, and Will looked at me and laughed again |
|
wǒ bù zài shuō shí mǒ, wēi ěr kàn kàn wǒ yòu xiào le. |
|
It happened a few months later I walked into the Shakespeares' kitchen one evening, and there was Anne, with a red, angry face, shouting at the top of her voice |
|
jǐ gè yuè hòu shì qíng jiù fā shēng le. yì tiān wǎn shàng wǒ zǒu jìn shā shì bǐ yà jiā de chú fáng, zhī jiàn ān zhàng hóng zhe liǎn, qì hū hū dì, tā gāo shēng zài rǎng zhe: |
|
' How can you do this to me? And what about the children' Then she saw me and stopped |
|
" nǐ zěn me néng zhè yàng duì wǒ? hái zi zěn me bàn?" zhè shí tā qiáo jiàn wǒ jiù jiāng huà zhǐ zhù le. |
|
Will was sitting at the table, and looked pleased to see me' I' ve told Anne,' he said quietly,' that I' m going to live in London I want to be an actor, and to write plays, if I can' |
|
wēi ěr zuò zài zhuō páng, jiàn wǒ lái hěn gāo xìng." wǒ yǐ jīng gào sù ān le." tā píng jìng dì shuō dào," wǒ dǎ suàn dào lún dūn qù móu shēng. wǒ xiǎng dāng yī míng yǎn yuán, rú guǒ xíng de huà, xiě xiě jù běn." |
|
' Plays!' screamed Anne' Acting! Actors are dirty, wicked people! They' re all thieves and criminals! They drink all day and they never go to church' |
|
" xiě jù běn!" ān jiān shēng jiào qǐ lái," qù yǎn xì! zuò yǎn yuán jì diū liǎn yòu wò chuò, tā men dōu shì xiǎo tōu hé zuì fàn! zhěng tiān zhǐ zhī dào hē jiǔ xíng lè, yě cóng lái bù qù jiào táng" |
|
' Don' t be stupid, Anne You know that' s not true Listen I' ll come home when I can, but I must go to London I can' t do anything in Stratford' He looked at me across the room' Are you coming with me, Toby?' |
|
" bié fàn shǎ le, ān. nǐ zhī dào shì shí bìng bú shì zhè yàng. tīng zhe, yī yǒu jī huì wǒ jiù huí jiā tàn wàng, dàn wǒ fēi qù lún dūn bù kě. dāi zài sī tè lā fú zhèn wǒ bú huì yǒu zuò wéi de." tā kàn le kàn fáng jiān duì miàn dí wǒ," tuō bǐ, nǐ xiǎng yì qǐ qù ma?" |
|
' How soon can we start?' I said |
|
" shén me shí hòu dòng shēn?" wǒ shuō dào. |
