莎士比亚《麦克白》:
O, never
Shall sun that morrow see!
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters. To beguile the time,
Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under't. He that's coming
Must be provided for: and you shall put
This night's great business into my dispatch;
Which shall to all our nights and days to come
Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.
啊!太阳永远不会见到那样一个明天。您的脸,我的爵爷,正像一本书,人们可以从那上面读到奇怪的事情。你要欺骗世人,必须装出和世人同样的神气;让您的眼睛里,您的手上,您的舌尖,随处流露着欢迎;让人家瞧您像一朵纯洁的花朵,可是在花瓣底下却有一条毒蛇潜伏。我们必须准备款待这位贵宾;您可以把今晚的大事交给我去办;凭此一举,我们今后就可以永远掌握君临万民的无上权威。
