精彩摘录

开始求婚的时候，正像苏格兰急舞一样狂热，迅速而充满幻想；到了结婚的时候，循规蹈矩的，正像慢步舞一样，拘泥着仪式和虚文；于是接着来了后悔，拖着疲乏的脚腿，开始跳起五步舞来，愈跳愈快，一直跳到精疲力尽，倒在坟墓里为止。

道格培里：你难道瞧不起我的地位吗？你难道瞧不起握着一把年纪吗？啊，但愿他在这儿，给我写下我是头驴子！可是列位弟兄们，记住我是头驴子；虽然这句话没有写下来，可是别忘记我是头驴子。你这恶人，你简直是目中无人，这儿大家都可以见证的。老实告诉你吧，我是个聪明人；而且是个官；而且是个有家小的人；再说，我的相貌也比得上梅西那地方无论哪一个人；我懂得法律，那可以不去说它；我身边老大有几个钱，那也可以不去说它；我不是不曾碰到过坏运气，可是我还有两件袍子，无论到什么地方去总还是体体面面的。把他带下去！啊，但愿他给我写下我是一头驴子！Dogbey.Iamawisefellow,and,whichismore,anofficer,and,whichismore,ahouseholder,and,whichismore,asprettyapieceoffleshasanyisinMessina,andonethatknowsthelaw,goto;andarichfellowenough,goto;andafellowthathathhadlosses,andonethathathtwogownsandeverythinghandsomeabouthim. 莎士比亚：《无事生非》IV，ii，82Shakespeare,MuchAdoAboutNothing,IV,ii,82
