第十二夜,和十二塊巧克力
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 himin 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

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
And call upon my soul within the house;Write loyal cantons of contemned loveAnd 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 melancholyShe 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?
