安东尼奥  我也诚心请求堂上从速宣判。

鲍西娅   好,那么就是这样:你必须准备让他的刀子刺进你的胸膛。

夏洛克   啊,尊严的法官!好一位优秀的青年!

鲍西娅   因为这约上所订定的惩罚,对于法律条文的含义并无抵触。

夏洛克   很对很对!啊,聪明正直的法官!想不到你瞧上去这样年轻,见识却这么老练!

鲍西娅   所以你应该把你的胸膛袒露出来。

夏洛克   对了,“他的胸部”,约上是这么说的;——不是吗,尊严的法官?——“靠近心口的所在”,约上写得明明白白的。

鲍西娅   不错,称肉的天平有没有预备好?

夏洛克   我已经带来了。

鲍西娅   那商人身上的一磅肉是你的;法庭判给你,法律许可你。

夏洛克   公平正直的法官!

鲍西娅   你必须从他的胸前割下这磅肉来;法律许可你,法庭判给你。

夏洛克   博学多才的法官!判得好!来,预备!

鲍西娅   且慢,还有别的话哩。这约上并没有允许你取他的一滴血,只是写明着“一磅肉”;所以你可以照约拿一磅肉去,可是在割肉的时候,要是流下一滴基督徒的血,你的土地财产,按照威尼斯的法律,就要全部充公。

葛莱西安诺 啊,公平正直的法官!听着,犹太人;啊,博学多才的法官!

夏洛克   法律上是这样说的吗?

鲍西娅   你自己可以去查查明白。既然你要求公道,我就给你公道,而且比你所要求的更地道。

葛莱西安诺 啊,博学多才的法官!听着,犹太人;好一个博学多才的法官!

夏洛克   那么我愿意接受还款;照约上的数目三倍还我,放了那基督徒。

巴萨尼奥  钱在这儿。

鲍西娅   别忙!这犹太人必须得到绝对的公道。别忙!他除了照约处罚以外,不能接受其他的赔偿。

葛莱西安诺 啊,犹大人!一个公平正直的法官,一个博学多才的法官。

 _________________________________________________________________________________

答案

1.不多余。一是劝夏洛克要有慈悲之心;二是为下文伏笔。(意对即可)

2.一是讴歌安东尼奥和巴萨尼奥之间生死不渝的友谊;二是反衬夏洛克的凶残。(意对即可)

3.夏洛克因形势有利于自己,就满口奉承,是虚假的话;而葛莱西安诺的话则是对鲍西娅的由衷称赞,也是对夏洛克自食其果的讽刺。(意对即可)

4.这句话表面看是为夏洛克主持公道,实则是把他推向自设的陷阱。(意对即可)

5.抓住契约中“一磅肉”以禁止夏洛克在割肉时流血作为立足点。(意对即可)

6.鲍西娅机敏善辨、智慧超群、公平正直、以智慧和正义战胜了贪婪和残暴的夏洛克。(意对即可)

7.搬起石头砸自己的脚。善有善报,恶有恶报。
