听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》The Play's the Thing - 6

（单词翻译）

So, er, how's the play going?

Well, as you can see, very poorly.

You know, when I quit this thing, I didn't think that everyone would be so affected¹.

Neither did I.

OK. Mr. Feeny, still not big on the pantyhose idea but if that's what it takes, you got your Hamlet back.

Mr. Matthews, hum. I already have my Hamlet. He may bump into the scenery, he may talk like a hayseed. For all I know, tomorrow he may show up in kabuki makeup². Nevertheless, he is my Hamlet. I do, however, have an opening for a spear-carrier.

Spear-carrier?

There is an old theater expression: there are no small parts, only small actors.

You know, Mr. Feeny, maybe I would have built on this play if you pick some play a little cooler. I mean, couldn't we do selected scenes from the Terminator? Or how about a Steven Seagal soliloquy?

You know, Mr. Matthews, you are absolutely right. Shakespeare is dry, tedious and there is no way for a person your age to be affected by it.

I am thy father's spirit. Doomed³ for a certain term to walk the night, and for the day confined to fast in fires till the foul⁴ crimes done in my days of nature are burnt and purged⁵ away. But that I am forbid to tell the secrets of my prison-house, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood. But this eternal blazon⁶ must not be to ears of flesh and blood. List, list, oh list if thou didst ever thy dear father love.

Oh, God!

Revenge his foul and most unnatural⁷ murder.

Murder?

Of course, I know Steven Seagal.
