Will did write another play, of course That was Henry VIII and he wrote it because the King' s daughter, Princess Elizabeth, was getting married The King' s Men had to have a new play for a special day like that |
|
wēi ěr yòu biān xiě le yī bù xì jù hēng lì bā shì. cǐ jù shì wèi le qìng zhù guó wáng zhī nǚ yī lì shā bái gōng zhǔ jié hūn dà diǎn ér xiě de. xiàng zhè yàng tè shū de rì zi," guó wáng jù tuán" fēi děi tuī chū yī bù xīn jù běn. |
|
We were in London for rehearsals at the Globe, and the actors put on the new play for the first time on the 29th of June, 1613 I remember the date well |
|
1613 nián 6 yuè 29 rì, zài lún dūn de" huán qiú jù yuàn", wǒ men shǒu cì dēng tái yù yǎn zhè yī xīn jù. zhè gè rì zi wǒ jì de yī qīng èr chǔ. |
|
It happened soon after the play began Richard Burbage was on stage and he suddenly looked up and stopped in the middle of a word |
|
yǎn chū kāi chū bù jiǔ, yì wài shì gù jiù fā shēng le. lǐ chá bái bèi zhī zhèng zài tái shàng yǎn chū. tū rán, tā tái qǐ tóu, tái cí shuō dào yī bàn. |
|
' Fire!' he shouted' The theatre' s on fire!' |
|
" zháo huǒ la!" tā dà rǎng qǐ lái," jù yuàn zháo huǒ la!" |
|
Wooden buildings burn fast, and Henry Condell shouted,' Everybody out! Quickly!' |
|
mù zhì de fáng zi huǒ shì màn yán hěn kuài, yú shì hēng lì kāng dé ěr dà jiào zhe:" dà jiā gǎn kuài chū qù! kuài chū qù!" |
|
The crowd of playgoers began to hurry to the doors, and I ran round to open them We could all see the smoke now, and John Heminges shouted to Will,' The playbooks! We must get the playbooks out!' |
|
kàn xì de rén qún kāi shǐ pīn mìng xiàng mén kǒu jǐ, wǒ gǎn zhe dǎ kāi suǒ yǒu dà mén shū sǎn rén qún. zhè shí wǒ men dōu néng kàn jiàn yān wù mí màn, yuē hàn hǎi míng duì wēi ěr hǎn dào," nèi xiē jù běn! wǒ men bì xū bǎ jù běn qiǎng chū lái!" |
|
Everybody got out and no one was hurt One man' s coat caught fire and his friend put the fire out with a bottle of beer But the Globe burnt right down to the ground in an hour Poor old John Heminges just stood there and cried |
|
zuì hòu dà jiā dōu ān rán wú yàng dì tuō xiǎn. yǒu rén yī fú zhe le huǒ, dàn tā péng yǒu yòng yī píng pí jiǔ jiù gěi jiāo miè le. bù guò" huán qiú jù yuàn" yī xiǎo shí hòu quán bù shāo huǐ, yí wéi píng dì. kě lián de lǎo yuē hàn hǎi míng zhǐ néng zhàn zài na r, dùn zú tòng kū. |
|
But you can' t kill a theatre that easily A year later there was a new blobe in the same place Bigger and better than the old one People said it was the finest playhouse in England |
|
dàn shì ràng jù yuàn jiù cǐ xiāo shī bìng bú shì qīng ér yì jǔ de shì. yī nián hòu, zài yuán dì yòu gài qǐ yī zuò xīn de" huán qiú jù yuàn", bǐ yuán lái de gèng dà gèng qì pài. rén men dōu shuō zhè shì yīng guó zuì hǎo de yī jiā jù yuàn. |
|
We didn' t often go to London in those last years Will was happy at home in Stratford with his family He had time for his garden, time to talk to his Stratford friends, time to play with his granddaughter Elizabeth He read his plays again, and he and I talked and laughed about the old days |
|
zài wēi ěr shēng qián de zuì hòu jǐ nián zhōng, wǒ men bù cháng qù lún dūn. zài sī tè lā fú zhèn, tā hěn gāo xīng hé jiā rén dāi zài yì qǐ. zhè yàng yī lái, tā jiù yǒu shí jiān gǎo gǎo yuán yì, hé sī tè lā fú zhèn de péng yǒu liáo tiān, hé wài sūn nǚ yī lì shā bái wán shuǎ. tā hái zhòng dú tā de jù běn, ér qiě yǔ wǒ yī huí yì qǐ guò qù de suì yuè jiù tán xiào fēng shēng. |
|
Judith got married at last in February 1616 She was thirtyone then, and married a man called Thomas Quiney, who was twentysix Will wasn' t too happy about it |
|
1616 nián 2 yuè, zhū dí sī zhōng yú jià gěi le yī wèi míng jiào tuō mǎ sī kuí ní de nán rén, dāng shí tā 31 suì, zhàng fū 26 suì. wēi ěr wèi cǐ mèn mèn bù lè. |
|
' Judith loves him very much,' he said quietly to me' But I' m not sure about him I think she' s making a mistake' |
|
" zhū dí sī fēi cháng ài tā," tā píng jìng dì duì wǒ shuō," dàn wǒ jué de zhè qīng nián bù kě kào, wǒ xiǎng tā fàn le yí gè cuò wù." |
|
He was right, of course Will was usually right about people Thomas Quiney was lazy, drank too much, and went with other women |
|
tā què shí shuō zhǔn le. wēi ěr duì rén de zhí jué tōng cháng méi cuò. tuō mǎ sī kuí ní yóu shǒu hào xián, zòng jiǔ, hái hé qí tā nǚ rén gōu gōu dā dā. |
|
But Will didn' t live to find that out In March he went to London for a party at the Mermaid Tavern Ben Jonson was now the play wright for the court of King James The King was paying him some money every year, and Ben wanted to give a party for his friends |
|
dàn shì wēi ěr shēng qián wèi néng zhī dào zhēn xiàng. tóng nián 3 yuè, tā qù lún dūn měi rén yú jiǔ diàn cān jiā yí gè jù huì. běn qióng shēng zhè shí yǐ chéng wéi zhān mǔ shì guó wáng de gōng tíng jù zuò jiā, guó wáng měi nián fù gěi tā yī xiē xīn shuǐ, yú shì běn jué dìng yàn qǐng péng yǒu. |
|
It was a good party, I heard But Will caught a fever and then rode home through the cold spring rain When he got back to New Place, he was not a well man |
|
tīng shuō zhè cì jù huì hěn rè nào, dàn wēi ěr bù xìng gǎn mào fā shāo, hòu lái qí mǎ huí jiā yòu lín le yǔ. dāng tā huí dào" xīn dì fāng" jiā zhōng, rén jiù kuǎ le. |
|
He died on the 23rd of April, in the year 1616 |
|
tā yú 1616 nián 4 yuè 23 rì qù shì. |
|
They put his body in Holy Trinity Church, down by the river Avon It was a bright, windy day, I remember Ben Jonson came down from London, and cried in the church He was a wild man, was Ben, always fighting and arguing about plays and poetry But he loved his friend He came up to me outside the church |

rén men jiāng tā ān zàng zài ài wèn hé pàn de" shèng sān yī" jiào táng. wǒ jì de, nà tiān tiān qì qíng lǎng, wēi fēng xí xí. běn qióng shēng cóng lún dūn gǎn lái, zài jiào táng nèi shī shēng tòng kū. tā zhēn shì gè gǔ guài de rén, wéi yǒu běn cái gǎn gōng jī hé píng lùn xì jù hè shī gē. dàn tā dǎ xīn dǐ lǐ ài zhè wèi péng yǒu. zài jiào táng wài miàn, tā zǒu dào wǒ shēn biān. |
|
' Toby,' he said' Will was a good, true man, and I loved him We' ll never see another poet like him in England' |
|
" tuō bǐ," tā shuō dào," wēi ěr shì gè zhēn zhèng liǎo bù qǐ de nán zǐ hàn, wǒ xǐ huān tā. yīng guó zài yě bú huì yǒu xiàng tā nà yàng de shī rén le." |
