哈姆雷特独白第一句（哈姆雷特独白节选）

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer;

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune;

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing, end them.

To die, to sleep.

No more; and by a sleep, to say we end

The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to; 'Tis a consumation

Devoutly to be wish'd.

To die to sleep,

To sleep, perchance to dream; Aye, there's the rub,

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

Must give us pause. There's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

生存还是毁灭？这是一个值得考虑的问题；

默然忍受命运的暴虐的毒箭，或是挺身反抗人世的无涯的苦难，在奋斗中结束了一切，这两种行为，哪一种更高贵？

死了，睡着了，什么都完了；

要是在这一种睡眠之中，我们心头的创痛，以及其他无数血肉之躯所不能避免的打击，都可以从此消失，那正是我们求之不得的结局。

死了，睡着了；睡着了也许还会做梦；嗯，阻碍就在这儿：因为当我们摆脱了这一具朽腐的皮囊以后，在那死的睡眠里，究竟将要做些什么梦，那不能不使我们踌躇顾虑。
