Do not be so bitter.S: I've promised to take my pound of flesh. If you do not let me have it, that will be a sign of weakness and no one will trust your laws any more. The greatness of Venice will soon be lost. Antonio is my enemy, and I hate him.B: Do all men kill the things they do not love?译文：第一部分公爵：宽恕安东尼奥吧，夏洛克，别这样怀恨在心。

夏洛克：我说过一定要拿走我应得的那一磅肉。

要是您不准许我得到它，那将是一种软弱的表现，人们将不再信你们的法律了。

威尼斯不久就会丧失它的伟大。

安东尼奥是我的敌人，我恨他。

巴萨尼奥：难道所有的人都要铲除他们所不爱的东西吗？A: It is useless trying to argue with Shylock. Don't wait any longer. Pass judgement on me and give Shylock what he wants.B: I'll pay you six thousand ducats for the three thousand ducats that Antonio borrowed.S: If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. Give me my pound of flesh!D: Let us be calm, gentlemen. Shylock, how can you hope for mercy yourself when you show none?S: I have done nothing wrong and I fear no judgement. I desire my pound of flesh.As the Duke is wondering what to do, Nerissa, dressed like a lawyer's clerk, arrives with a letter from the famous lawyer whom Portia has visited. While the Duke is talking to Nerissa, Shylock gets ready to cut his pound of flesh from Antonio.D: upon my power I may dosmoss this court ,a learned doctor,whom I have sent for to determine this,come here today.Salarino: a messger with letters form the doctor,new come from Padua.D: bring us the letters: call the messenger.Nerissa dressed as a messenger, with Portia has visited the famous lawyer's letter, came to courtThen Nerissa read the letter out for all in the court to hear. "I am very ill. When your letter reached me, I had with me a .learned young doctor from Rome. I told him about the quarrel between Shylock and Antonio. We studied many lawbooks and he knows what I would say. I ask you to let him stand in my place and give judgement. He is young, but I never knew so young a body with so wise a head."After the letter has been read out to the court, Portia, in lawyer's clothes, enters the room and takes her seat as judge.安东尼奥：跟夏洛克讲理是没有用的。

别再等待了。

对我宣判吧，把夏洛克想要得到的东西给他。

巴萨尼奥：我将付给你六千块钱，用来归还安东尼奥借的那三千块钱。

夏洛克：即使你愿意我六倍于你刚才提出的钱数，我仍然要拿我应得的那一磅肉。

把那一磅肉判给我！公爵：先生们，请安静。

夏洛克，如果你不宽恕别人，你自己怎能希望得到别人的宽恕呢？夏洛克：我并没有做错事，我不怕审判。

我要求给我应得的那一磅肉。

公爵：我有权宣告退庭，不过我已经去请一位有学问的博士，今天到这里来解决这件案子。

萨拉里诺：大人，外面有一名信差在等候着，他才从帕多瓦来，拿着博士的信。

尼莉莎打扮成一个信差，带着鲍西娅刚拜访过的那位著名的律师的一封信，来到法庭。

这时，尼莉莎当庭宣读了律师的信。

"我重病缠身。

收到你的信时，我正同一位从罗马来的很有学问的年轻博士在一起。

我把夏洛克与安东尼奥之间的争执对他讲了。

我们研究了很多法典，因此他知道我想要说的话。

我请您让他替我作出判决。

他很年轻，但是，我还从来不知道有这么年轻又这么聪明的人。

"这封信当庭宣读之后，鲍西娅穿着律师的衣服进屋来了。

她作为法官就座了。

PART 2D: Greetings, learned judge! I do not envy you your job. This is a most troublesome case.P: Greetings! Please be seated. Are you Antonio, and is this your agreement with Shylock?A: It is.P: Then Shylock must be merciful. He must have mercy on Antonio.S: Why must I have mercy on him? Tell me that!P: Mercy brings good. Mercy falls like the gentle rain from the sky upon the earth. It blesses those who give it, and those who receive it. We should learn to show mercy to others. Do you still ask for this pound of flesh? S: I ask for what is mine by law!B: I offer ten times the money that Antonio has borrowed. Please change the law a little so that we may save Antonio.P: Use your head a little, sir! We cannot change a law. If one law is changed, then people will later want to change other laws.S: Oh, wise young judge!P: Let me see this agreement, this promise of Antonio to you.S: Here it is.P: I see. According to the law, Shylock may have a pound of flesh to be cut off by him nearest to Antonio's heart. Be merciful! Let me destroy this paper.--No? Then, Antonio, be ready. And Shylock, take your knife and prepare to do the deed.公爵；您好，博学的法官！我并不羡慕您的职业。

这是一个最麻烦的案子。

鲍西娅：您好！请坐下。

你叫安东尼奥吗？这是你与夏洛克签订的借约吗？安东尼奥；是的。

鲍西娅：那么，夏洛克可得大发慈悲才是。

他可得宽恕安东尼奥啊。

夏洛克：为什么我必得宽恕他呢？请告诉我这一点！鲍西娅：慈悲带来益处。

慈悲像甘露从天空中降到地面上，它不但赐福施予的人，而且赐福于受施的人。

我们应该学会宽恕他人。

你还要求得到这一磅肉吗？夏洛克：我要求得到根据法律属于我的东西。

巴萨尼奥：我愿出十倍于安东尼奥的借款，请您把法律稍为变更一下，使我们能够救出安东尼奥的生命。

鲍西娅：请用你的脑袋想一想，先生。

我们不能变更法律，要是变更了一条法律，那么人们还会要变更别的法律的。

夏洛克：噢，聪明年轻的法官啊！鲍西娅；让我看一看借约，就是安东尼奥向你许下的诺言。

夏活克：给您。

鲍西娅：我明白了。

根据法律，夏洛克可以得到一磅肉，由他从最靠近安东尼奥心脏的部位割下来。

慈悲一点吧！让我撕毁这张借约吧。

不能撕？那么，安东尼奥，你做好准备；夏洛克，拿起你的刀子准备割肉吧。

S: Oh, learned judge! Oh, wise young man!P: Have you brought anything to weigh the flesh?S: Yes. I have everything ready here.P: Do you have a doctor, Shylock, to stop Antonio's blood?B: That fox!P: Do you wish to say anything, Antonio?A: Only a little. Goodbye Bassanio. Don't be sad for me. Tell your wife about me and how much I loved you. If Shylock cuts deep enough, I'll pay him back with all my heart.B: Let me take you in my arms and say goodbye. I love you more than my own life, more than my wife, and more than all the world. (He cries.)P: Your wife would not be pleased to hear you say that.G: I have a wife, whom, I love,I would she were in heaven ,so she could entreat some power to change this currish jew.N: It’s well you off it behind her back; the wish would make else an unquiet house.S: We are wasting time.P: Take your pound of flesh! I declare the court allows it and the law gives it to you.Shylock advances towards Antonio and prepares to use his knife.P: Wait! There is something else. Antonio has promised to give you a pound of his flesh. But he has not promised to give you any of his blood. If you let one drop of his blood fall, you will lose all your land and all your money.G: O upright judge!Mark,Jew: O learned judge!S: Is that the law?P: That is the law. You wanted justice, so you shall get justice, more than you wanted. : I will take the money. Give me three more than Antonio borrowed from me.G: O upright judge!Mark,Jew: O learned judge!S: I want the money. Give me three times the money that I borrow to Antonio.夏洛克；噢，博学的法官！噢，聪明的年轻人！鲍西娅：你带来了称肉的器具吗？夏洛克：是的。
