第十二夜，和十二塊巧克力

01-29

不記得哪年開始，11月11日變成了「單身」節日。

我能想到的一個四角戀+告別單身的戲劇，和11無關，和12有關。是Shakespeare的《第十二夜》。

第十二夜取名自聖誕假期的第十二個夜晚，據說那天，大家都可以做些荒誕的事情。這一部喜劇也帶有一些荒誕色彩：

孿生兄妹Sebastian和Viola，在一次海難中各自僥倖脫險，Viola流落到伊利里亞，Seba被海盜所救。當地的公爵Orsino愛慕著伯爵小姐Olivia，但不受回應。Viola女扮男裝給公爵Orsino當侍童，一眼愛上了公爵。她受命替公爵去向Olivia求愛，Olivia反而愛上了男扮女裝的Viola。Sebastian也流落到了伊利里亞，在一場糾紛中碰見Olivia，被錯當成了Viola，被救出並被示愛。最終經過一番波折，Viola與Orsino，Olivia與Sebas成了兩對眷侶。

我用12塊20g的ROCOCo小巧克力，組成一個被打亂的、初見到愛情的莎士比亞故事。

可能只是我用想像在刻意為之，說了個糟糕的笑話。

1.初見&猜測

OLIVIA

How does he love me?

VIOLA

With adorations, fertile tears,
With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.

「他怎樣愛著我呢？」

「用崇拜的愛慕，盈眶的熱淚；用哭喊的呻吟，熾熱的嘆息。」

紫羅蘭黑巧

If music be the food of love, play on;

Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die.

That strain again! it had a dying fall:

O, it came oer my ear like the sweet sound,

That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:

Tis not so sweet now as it was before.

O spirit of love!

音樂若是愛情的食糧，那麼就奏演下去吧

讓我過量的享受，為的是，食過量之後

慾望就厭膩了，以至於消失

再奏起那個調子！它有一種裊裊的餘音

啊！它來到我的耳上，就像是才吹過一片紫羅蘭的甜蜜的聲音，偷送來一股芬芳！夠了；別演奏了

現在它不像方才那樣濃郁了

Not yet old enough for a man, nor young enough for

a boy; as a squash is before tis a peascod, or a

cooling when tis almost an apple: tis with him

in standing water, between boy and man.

說是個大人吧，年紀還太輕

說是個孩子吧，又嫌大些

就像一顆沒有成熟的豆莢；或是一隻半生的蘋果

又像大人又像小孩

2.告白&期許

Away before me to sweet beds of flowers:

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,

And call upon my soul within the house;

Write loyal cantons of contemned love

And sing them loud even in the dead of night;

我要在您的門前用柳枝築成一所小屋

不時到府中訪謁我的靈魂

我要吟詠著被冷淡的忠誠的愛情的篇什

不顧夜多麼深我要把它們高聲歌唱

3.憂愁&無奈

She never told her love,

But let concealment, like a worm i the bud,

Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought,

And with a green and yellow melancholy

She sat like patience on a monument,

Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?

她從沒有宣示她的愛

讓隱秘咬耗了她的粉紅的鰓，像蓓蕾里的蟲一般

她在沉思中憔悴了，她憂鬱得臉色綠黃

像是坐在墓碑上的「忍耐」一般，對著愁苦微笑

這不是真的愛情嗎？

OLIVIA: Stay:I prithee, tell me what thou thinkest of me.

VIOLA: That you do think you are not what you are.

OLIVIA: If I think so, I think the same of you.

VIOLA: Then think you right: I am not what I am.

OLIVIA: I would you were as I would have you be!

「等一下：我請你告訴我你對我有什麼感想」

「我想，你一定是想你不是你現在是的人。」

「如果我是這樣想，我對你也作同樣想。」

「那麼你可想對了，我不是我現在所像是的人。」

「我願你就是我所希望你是的！」

我沒有給這個故事結局。因為知道結局就沒有趣了不是？
