First act

The first field

Location: On the streets of Venice

Character: 1 Antonio-An 2 Salegno-Sa 3 Rolanzo-Luo 4 Bassanio-Ba.

(Antonio and Salegno are walking in the street, chatting while walking)

Ann: I really don't know why I am so glum. You said you were bored when you saw me, and I was bored myself, but how can I let my sadness fall on me? This makes me a fool! (Raise your hand to complain, shake your head and sigh while talking)

Sa: Your heart is swaying on the sea with the big sailing ship. They are like dignitaries and rich gentry on the water, showing off their luxury. (Pause) But believe me, man, if I had such a business abroad, I would spend most of my time worrying about it. I will always observe the wind direction and check the port name. Anything that worries me will also make me sad.

Ann: You are right, my friend, but I also believe that the success or failure of my business does not depend entirely on a ship, let alone a place. All my property will not be affected by this year's profit and loss, so these cargo ships alone are not enough to make me so sad.

Sa: (looking at Ann with a little surprise) Ah! So you're in love? (joking)

Ann: Ouch! No, no,no. You mean the words there. (shaking his head and waving)

Lisa: (still puzzled) If not, what will it be? Let me say that you are sad because you are unhappy, just like you jump with a smile and say that you are happy because you are not sad. It is really simple.

Ann: How can I tell you? My dear friend, if I can pour out everything in my heart to you in the clearest language, then I'd rather change my cargo ship, but I really don't even know myself. How can I speak and where to start? (embarrassed)

Sa: Ha ha ha ha! You're really kidding, my friend. (Looking up at the front) Ah! Old love Antonio, look who's there! (pointing ahead)

Ann: (looking up) Oh! So it's them. (Rolanzo and Bassanio are the same as above)

3 connection

Ann: Hello! My dear friend!

Rolfe: Hello, Mr. Antonio. Hello, Mr. Legano. (Shan agrees with them) Mr. Antonio, I am so lucky to find you here (to Ann)

Ann: What's this? My children, look at you in a hurry. (Staring suspiciously)

Rolfe: It's Bassanio! He wants to see you for something important, doesn't he, Bassanio (looking at Bassanio)

Ba: (rubbing his hands, looking at Antonio awkwardly, then turning to Lorenzo and Legano) Yes, Antonio, I want to talk to you about something-

Sa: (looking at Bassanio, then smiling at Lorenzo) Dear Lorenzo, don't you want to have a drink with me? Do you have time now?

Carol: (smiling) Oh, yes, of course. I was just about to buy you a cocktail. Now let's go! (turning to Bassanio) Mr Bassanio, you have found the person you are looking for now. We should spend less time with you, but don't forget where we will meet at dinner.

Ba: Yes, Lorenzo, I won't forget it. Don't worry!

Rolfe: (turning to Antonio) Mr Antonio, you don't look well. You take things in the world too seriously. If you think too much, you will lose the fun of being a man. Believe me, you have really changed a lot recently!

Ann: Don't worry! My dear Lorenzo, I will be fine.

Sa: (urging) Well, Lorenzo, the merciful God will bless our respected Mr. Antonio. He'll be fine. Let's hurry!

Rolfe: All right then! (to Antonio and Bassanio) Let's go. Let's talk it over! See you again.

! (under the same Sa Laigneau)

(watching the two of them get off)

Ann: (suddenly looking at Bassanio) Say, what's the matter, my child? But you promised to tell me the name of the girl you swore to visit secretly today. Now please tell me!

Ba: You know very well, Mr. Antonio, how I squandered all my meager assets to maintain my dignity. Now I don't care about the decline of my family, and my life is urgent. My biggest worry is how to get rid of this heavy debt accumulated on my back because of profligacy. Whether it's money or friendship, I owe you the most. It is only because of our profound friendship and your kindness and generosity that I dare to tell you all my debts.

Ann: Well, Bassanio, please tell me that as long as your plan is as open as ever, my money can be used by you and I can be driven by you myself. I am willing to help you as much as I can!

Do you know that?/You know what? Mr. Antonio, when I was a child, when I practiced archery, every time I shot an arrow, I would shoot it in the same direction and the same range as the other arrow, so that I could find two arrows at the same time, but sometimes it means double adventure. Maybe I can't find both arrows, but usually I am lucky. Now I want to tell you that I took this childhood event as an oath. If you are willing to shoot the second arrow in the direction of the first arrow you put, then I will definitely look at the target and get both arrows back. At least I can return the second arrow to you, so that I can be a debtor who appreciates your previous assistance!

Ann: You know who I am. Now it's just a waste of time for you to test my friendship with such a metaphor. If you doubt that I won't try my best to help, you will be more sorry to me than spending all my money, so just tell me how to help you, and it's within my power. Please tell me my Bassanio!

Ba: Belmont has a rich heiress. She is very beautiful. More importantly, she has excellent moral character. From her eyes, I sometimes receive her affectionate hope. Her name is Portia, second only to Portia, daughter of Gukato and wife of Brutu. The great world has not ignored their benefits, and the wind of four winds has brought in suitors of registered nationality from various coastal areas. Her bright hair, like the legendary golden fleece, lured countless Jason to pursue her. Ah! My Antonio! As long as I have considerable financial resources and can compete with any one of them, then I have full confidence and will definitely realize my wish!

You know, my dear Bassanio! All my property is at sea, and now I have neither money nor goods that can be converted into cash. Then try my credit and see what effect it has in Venice. I will try my best to lend my face and supply you with your beautiful Portia in Belmont. Forget it, let's go separately and ask where we can borrow money. (Reaching out to Labacanio) I'll use my credit as a guarantee or lend it to you in my name! (Two people get off at the same time)

4 Game 2

Venue: Belmont, Portia's home

Characters: Portia, Nerissa, servant

Props: two tables and two stools, three boxes and a vase.

Portia: Really, Nerissa, my little body is tired of the wide world.

Nerissa: OK, my lady! Your misfortune is as great as your luck. No wonder you are tired of this world. But in my humble opinion, people who eat too much will be as sick as those who don't eat hungry, so the golden mean is the best, and wealth will make people white-haired and have enough food and clothing for years!

Bao: What a sentence!

Tony: It would be better if you could keep up.

Bao: (Bowing his head and sighing) If it is as easy to do one thing as knowing what to do, then the chapel will become an auditorium and the poor man's hut will become a prince's palace. Only a good teacher will do what he teaches. Reason can make laws to restrain feelings, but when he is enthusiastic, he will ignore the cold laws. Young people are unrestrained wild rabbits, who will jump over the rational barriers set by the elderly, but I will not help me choose my Mr Right, nor will I abandon people I hate (touch three boxes in turn, face the audience and raise my hand). The will of a living daughter will be bound by the will of a dead father. Nerissa, is it embarrassing that you can't choose or refuse?

Nerissa: This old man was highly respected before his death. When a gentleman dies, there must be a god's knowledge. Now that he has decided to draw lots, who can choose one of the three boxes of gold, silver and lead, let him match you and get married (through the three boxes, holding Portia's arm), then the person who can be selected must be someone worthy of your heart and love. But among these grandchildren who came to propose to you, which one do you like best?

Portia: Please list their names. When you mention a person, I will say a few words to him. With my hungry comments, you can know my impression of each of them.

Nerissa: The first one is the Prince of Naples.

Portia: Well, he is a real horse. He just doesn't talk. When it comes to talking, the teacher says what happened to their horses. He thinks he is very capable because he can personally install horseshoe stables for his horses. I wonder if he was a groom in his last life.

Nerissa: What happened to Count Balladin?

Portia: He kept frowning, as if to say, "If you don't love me, it's up to you." He doesn't laugh when he hears jokes. I think he looked sad when he was young, and he will keep crying when he is old. I would rather marry a skeleton than either of them. God bless me not to fall into these two hands.

Nerissa: What do you think of Mr. Le Slade, a French aristocrat?

Portia: Since God created him, let's call him a man. In my conscience, I know it is a sin to laugh at others, but he! Hey, his horse is better than that of the Prince of Naples, but his frowning bad temper is also better than that of the count. He has a little disadvantage in everyone, but he has no characteristics of his own. When he heard the thrush singing and saw his own shadow, he would dance and compete with him. If I marry him, it is equivalent to giving my family to twenty husbands. If he looks down on me, I will forgive him, because even if he loves me madly, I will never promise him.

Nerissa: So which young British baron do you mean, Fukang Polic?

Portia: You know, I haven't said a word to him, because he doesn't understand what I said, and neither do I. He can't speak Latin, French or Italian. As for how good my English is, you can testify. He looks fine, but-alas! Who wants to compete with a mute? Besides, his clothes are strange enough. I think he bought his doublet in Italy, his trousers in France and his hat in Germany. As for his behavior, the propaganda department learned from all directions.

Nerissa: What do you think of his neighbor, the Scottish aristocrat?

Portia: He knows the way of good-neighborliness and mutual benefit very well. Because once any Englishman gave him a slap in the face, he swore to give it at the first opportunity. I also want to know which Frenchman is his guarantor. He has signed a contract and will be rewarded twice in his life!

Nerissa: What do you think of Herzogtum Von Sachsen's nephew, the German master?

Portia: When he wakes up in the morning, he is bad enough. He was drunk in the afternoon, which made him even more disgusting. When he is good, he is not qualified to be a man. When he is bad, he is worse than an animal. If misfortune befalls me, I hope I will never be with him.

Nerissa: If he asked for a choice, but he chose to keep the box, didn't you refuse to marry him against the old man's will?

Portia: So, Nerissa, just in case, I need you to help me put a full glass of Rhine wine in the wrong box. If the devil is in his heart and the temptation is in front of him, I believe he will definitely choose that box. Nerissa, I will do anything as long as I don't marry an alcoholic.

Nerissa: Don't worry, young lady, you will never marry these nobles again. They have told me their determination, saying that if you can't get your consent in any other way except the box selection method stipulated by your father, then they will leave home at once and never bother you again!

Portia: If no one wants to marry me according to my father's wishes, then even if I live to be a thousand years old, I will have to remain unmarried for life. I am glad that these suitors are so wise, because none of them is not eager to go. Ask God to give them a pleasant journey.

Nelisha; Miss, do you remember a Venetian who came here with Marquis Montfermeil when the old man was alive?

Portia: Yes, yes. That's Bassanio. I think that's his name.

Nelisha; That's right, miss. According to my stupid eyes, he is the most worthy of beauty among all men!

Portia: I remember him very much. He really deserves your praise. (on a servant)

Servant: Miss, four guests are coming to say goodbye to you, and the fifth guest, the prince of Morocco, sent someone to tell you first. Said his director, His Royal Highness the Prince, was coming here.

Portia: If only I could welcome the fifth guest wholeheartedly, just as I sent four guests away wholeheartedly. If he has the ability and a devil's face, then instead of letting me be his wife, let him listen to my confession. Come on, Nerissa, let's send them on their way (to the servant), you go first-(the same below)

5 Game 3

Venue: Venice Square.

Characters: Antonio, Shylock, Bassanio

Shylock comes on, Bassanio comes behind, and they talk as they walk. )

Summer; Three thousand dollars, huh?

Yes, uncle, three months.

Xia: Three months, huh?

Ba: I have already told you that this money can be signed by Antonio!

Xia: Antonio signed the IOU (his eyes lit up), hmm!

Ba: (eagerly) Will you help me? Can you promise me? Can you let me know your answer?

Summer: 3000 yuan, three months' lease. Antonio will sign an IOU. (to himself)

Ba: (eagerly) What's your answer? Sir?

Xia: Antonio is a good man.

Ba: Have you heard that he is not a good man?

Xia: Ah, no, no, no, I heard that he is a good man. I mean, he is a very valuable person, but there are still some problems with his property. He has a merchant ship to Tripoli and another to the West Indies. During the exchange, I also heard that he has a third ship in Mexico, a fourth ship in Britain and deals in overseas countries-sailors are only flesh and blood. There are rats on the shore, rats in the water, robbers on the land, robbers on the sea, and various dangers such as storms and rocks. But even so, he is reliable. I think I can accept his contract of 3000 yuan.

Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes.

Xia: I must feel at ease before I dare to borrow my debt. Let me think about it. Can I speak to Antonio?

I wonder if you would like to have dinner with us?

Xia: Really? Let me smell the pork and eat the dirty things that your prophet Nazareth drove the devil into your body (grimace). I can do business with you, make deals, chat and walk, but I can't eat and pray with you. What's the news about the transaction? (turning to look into the distance) Who's coming over there?

(Antonio)

Ba: This is Mr. Antonio (introducing Shylock to him and turning around arrogantly). You heard Sherlock-

Xia: (hands behind his back, head held high proudly) I'm estimating the cash on me. According to what I probably remember, it is impossible to scrape together 3000 yuan at a time. But it doesn't matter. There are some rich people in our family. I can ask them casually and provide you with the necessary trees. Wait a minute! How many months are you going to borrow it? (To Antonio) Huh? Hello! Mr Antonio, when did the wind bring the statue here?

Ann: (prudently) Sherlock, although I exchange necessities with others and never talk about benefits, I will make an exception this time for the urgent needs of my friends. (to Bassanio) Does he know how much you want?

Xia: OK, Mr. Antonio, 3000 yuan. (grabbing white)

Ann: Three months. (Holding out three fingers)

Xia: I forgot it was three months. You said to me, well, where's your iou? Let me see, but listen, you seem to say that you never talk about interest.

Yes, I never talk about interest.

Xia: Oh! Oh, my God, did you hear that? How kind and generous Antonio is!

Ba: What do you want, Sherlock?

Xia: Dear Mr. Antonio, to be honest, I swear to God that I really love you. That's why I want to treat you in the same way, but my dear Antonio, if I don't charge any interest, I'm afraid you'll feel bad, right? My dear Mr Antonio?

Ann: (looking at Bassanio) What are you trying to say, Sherlock? What terms do you want me to accept to lend me money?

Ba: (echoing) Yes, go ahead, Sherlock. Can we count on you this time?

Xia: (smiling cunningly at Antonio) Mr. Antonio, I have heard you scold me many times in our communication, saying that I am profiteering and treacherous. I always submit to humiliation, laugh it off, and don't argue with you. Because persecution is the characteristic of our nation, you call me a heretic, a murderous dog, and you spill saliva on my Jewish robe, just because I earned some interest with my own money, and now you come to beg me. What should I tell you? I should say: Will dogs have money? Can a bad dog lend someone three thousand dollars? "Or I should grovel to you like a slave: Good sir, you spit on me last week, one day you kicked me, and the other day you called me a dog, so I should lend you so much money to repay your many favors, right? Mr Antonio?

6 connection

Ann: I can't wait to scold you, spit on you and kick you again. If you are willing to lend me money, don't think of it as lending it to your friends-and then some friends will calculate the interest by trying to accommodate a few dollars. Think of it as an enemy who lends it to you! If I break my promise, punish me as promised! (Angry way)

Xia: (laughs) Oh, look at you so angry! Why? I am willing to make friends with you and get your friendship. I'd like to forget your insult to me. I'll give you all the money you need now, and I won't charge you any interest, but (wait a minute)-I'm kind.

Ann: This is really a good idea!

Xia: I want you to see if I mean well. Come with me to the notary office and sign the contract there. Let's have a joke. Let's write down in the contract when and where you will pay me back the money. If you break the contract, I will cut off a whole pound of meat from any part of you as punishment. How's it going? My dear Mr Antonio.

Ann: OK, let's get started! I am willing to sign a contract with you. I want to tell others that Mr. Shylock is a Jew with a good heart! (teasing)

Ba: (to) I'd rather be poor than let you sign such an agreement for me.

Ann: (calmly) What are you afraid of? I will never be punished. In just two months, I can receive nine times the money. Still afraid I can't pay him back?

Xia: Ancestor Abram, 1 Have you seen these despicable Christians? They are hostile to my kindness! Is Antonio's pound of meat more valuable than a pound of mutton and a pound of beef? In order to win sincere friendship, I extended a hand of friendship to them. You will witness my sincerity, won't you, ancestor Abram?

Ok, Sherlock, I am willing to sign the contract.

Xia: Well, ok. You are really a respectable friend. I know you trust me. Come on, friends, let's find a notary and sign a contract with him. Oh! Also, I have to go home at once and let an unreliable slave watch the door for me, but I can't let go (end)

Ann: Then you go, kind Jew. We'll be right there. (turning to Bassanio) This Jew is about to become a Christian, and his heart is much better!

Ba: I don't like mysterious people!

Ann: Well, what does it matter? Only two months later, my boat came back. Let's go (below)

7 Act II

Scene 1

Location: Portia's home

Characters: Portia, Nerissa, balsa Za, Moroccan Prince, Prince argon.

Props: two tables, two chairs, three boxes, a scroll painting and a sword.

Portia is pacing back and forth in the room, feeling a little anxious and dignified.

Bao: This bright and sacred sun shines all over the world, but why can't it illuminate my dim heart? Merciful God, why did you put me through so much suffering? You have no idea how pious I am to you, my father! You love your daughter the most, but why do you want your daughter to suffer like this? How can I face the future if my beloved doesn't choose the right box?

Tony: (1) My dear young lady, would you please sit down and have a rest? You've been walking back and forth like this all morning. Do you want your sad heart to suffer physical fatigue again?

Bao: Oh, dear Nerissa, if it can alleviate my sadness, I'd rather go for a hundred years.

Connie: Well, miss, you'd better have a rest! I'm afraid the Moroccan prince and Argonne prince who came to choose boxes will arrive soon.

Bao: This is really a terrible moment!

Servant: (1) Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Morocco has arrived with his entourage and is waiting in the lobby.

Bao: Let him in. 1 (put your hands together and pray)

(Servant, Prince of Morocco)

Mo: (monologue) Don't hate me because of my face. I am a neighbor of the sun, and my dark uniform is given by its majesty. Find me the whitest and most beautiful person in the aurora of the iceberg and snow column where the sun can't be seen in middle age, and let us enjoy this wonderful and happy time together. (See Portia) Ah! My beautiful lady, my appearance has frightened countless warriors. Through my love, the most prestigious girl in our country is also lovesick for it. I don't want to change my skin color unless I want to win your joy, my gentle queen.

Bag; Your highness, I don't just trust a picky girl's eyes to choose today. My fate was decided by drawing lots, and I have no right to choose at will. But if my father didn't bind me with his vision, I could only devote myself to winning my man in the way he stipulated. Then you, noble prince, are as good as others in your selfless mind!

Mo: Your kindness alone has made me extremely excited. Then show me those boxes and try my fate! I believe that God will take care of me.

Bag; You must believe in fate, or give up trying to choose, or make an oath before choosing. If you don't choose, you will never propose to any woman in your life, so you should think it over!

8 connection

Mo: I've made up my mind. I don't need to think about it. Let's leave now. Let's try my luck.

Bao: (leads the prince to the table) Well, my noble prince, come and have a look. These are boxes. (The prince approaches and studies it carefully)

B: Take a closer look, your highness. These three boxes are made of gold, silver and lead, and one of them contains my father's will. Please choose carefully.

Mo: (looking forward one by one) The first box is gold, with words written on it. Whoever chooses me gets what everyone wants; The second box is made of silver, and it is engraved: whoever chooses me will get what he deserves; The third box is made of heavy lead, engraved with such a cold warning: those who choose me must be prepared to sacrifice everything. How do I know I won't make mistakes?

Bao: Among these three boxes, there is a small portrait of me. If you choose that one, I belong to you.

Mo: Ask the gods for guidance and let me choose! (I pray to heaven with my hands folded, and then turn to the table) I have to be careful! (to himself) I'll check all the words on the box carefully. Which lead box says, "The person who chooses me must be prepared to sacrifice everything?" Why? For lead? It's terrible to sacrifice everything for this heavy lead! The silver box says, "whoever chooses me will get what he deserves." Get what he deserves! (Reaching for the box, pausing again) Wait a minute! Is my wealth not good enough for this young lady? If I say so, I'm underestimating myself. When it comes to family background, property, personality and upbringing, what am I not worthy of? Then I must deserve this. (Reaching for it, but pausing) No, let me look at this gold box again. "Whoever chooses me will get what everyone wants." Ah! That's the young lady. The whole world is begging her. They came from all over the world to pay tribute to this true fairy on earth. The vast ocean desert has become the avenue for princes from all over the world to visit this beautiful fairy. I'm afraid such a precious gem can only be put in this expensive gold box. I'll choose it! (Holding the gold box in both hands, give it to Portia.

Bao: Prince, please take the key and open this box. If there is my little portrait in it, then I belong to you.

Mo: (happily takes out the key and opens the box to have a look) Ah! Damn it, what is this? This is clearly a skeleton, with a roll of paper with words hidden in its empty eyes. Let me see what it says. It is not gold that shines. The sage didn't lie. How many people have sold their lives? But after seeing me, the ants occupied the gilded grave. If you were bold and smart enough, you wouldn't get such an answer! Ah! Sadness fills my heart. Don't blame me for the hasty departure of the defeated army.

Bao: He is still interested in going there. I hope no one of his color can choose.

Ni: (first) Girl, which prince went there in such a mess!

Bao: Alas! No wonder he only values precious gold, but he doesn't know that the evil essence is often hidden under the beautiful appearance.

Connie: Miss, you should be happy now!

Bao: Let's forget about the robbery!

Servant: (1) Miss, Prince Argonne is here.

Bao: (with a frightened expression) Ah! Why do you chase me out of breath! (touching his chest with his hand)

Connie: Miss, are you all right? Ask him to come another day?

Bao: (waving to stop) I'm fine. Let him in.

(Nerissa, servant, Prince Argonne)

A: (Monologue 1) I am the hero's Prince Agung. My brilliant wisdom has already traveled far and wide. I am the tallest man. Only I deserve the most beautiful girl in the world. The continuation of fate will give me the decision of the gods.

Bao: Oh, noble prince, you are so brave and powerful, but it is disrespectful for you to come all the way for a nameless little girl!

Ah; Don't say that, my beautiful miss Portia. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were the goddess who dominated my destiny! In that case, nothing matters, only you are the ultimate in my life!

Bao: Your Highness, look at these boxes. One of them is a small portrait of me. If you choose it, I will belong to you, but you will fail. Then, your highness, you must leave here. Do you know that?/You know what?

A: I have sworn to abide by three conditions: first, I must not tell anyone which box I chose; Second, if I choose the wrong box, I will never propose to any woman in my life; Third, if I fail, I will leave here at once.

Bao: No one came here to take risks for my humble body, but vowed to abide by these conditions. (to the audience)

I was ready for this. I hope fate will satisfy my wish! One is gold, one is silver and the other is lead. "The person who chooses me must be prepared to sacrifice everything for him. You want me to sacrifice for you, it should look better. What's written in the gold box? Ah! Whoever chooses me will get what everyone wants! People may be ignorant and vulgar, only knowing the appearance, but not the heart. I won't associate with such people. Look at this silver box. " Whoever chooses me will get what he deserves! ""well said, how can a person run wild without some strengths? Honor and honor cannot be stolen by unscrupulous people. have only
