2 Scene 1

Location: On the streets of Venice

Characters: 1 Antonio-Ann 2 Sa Laigneau-Sa 3 Rolanzo-Luo 4 Bassanio-Ba

(Antonio and Sa Laigneau are walking in the street and talking)

Ann: Really not. You said you were bored when you saw me, but I was bored myself, but how could I let my sorrow get on me? This made me a fool! (holding up his hands in complaint, shaking his head and sighing as he talks)

Sa: Your heart is swaying at sea with your big ships with sails. They are like the rich and powerful men 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 thoughts on it. I will always observe the direction of the wind and check the name of the port. Anything that worries me will also make me sad.

An: You're right, my friend, but I also believe that the success or failure of my business depends not entirely on one ship, let alone on one place, and all my property will not be affected by this year's profits and losses, so these cargo ships alone are not enough to make me so sad.

sa: (a little surprised, looking at ann) ah! So you are in love? (jokingly)

Ann: Ouch! No, no, no. What you said is the words there. (shaking his head and waving his hand)

Sa: (still puzzled) Since this is not the case, what can it be? Let me say that you are sad because you are unhappy, just as you smile and jump, saying that you are happy because you are not sad, which 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 would rather exchange one of my cargo ships, but I really don't even know myself, how should I speak and where should I start! (embarrassed)

Sa: Ha ha ha ha! You are really joking, my friend. (Looking up at the front) Ah! Former love Antonio, look who's over there! (pointing to the front)

Ann: (looking up) Oh! It turned out to be them. (Rolanzo and Bassanio are the same as above)

Ann: Hello! My dear friend!

lo: hello, Mr Antonio, and you, Mr Laigneau. (Sa agrees with them) I'm so lucky to find you here, Mr. Antonio (to Ann)

Ann: What's the matter? My children, look at you in a hurry. (looking puzzled)

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

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

Sa: (looking at Bassanio, then turning to Lorenzo, smiling) Dear Lorenzo. Do you have time now?

carol: (answers with a smile) oh, yes, of course. I was just about to invite you to have some cocktails. 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!

Luo: (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 pleasure of being a man. Believe me, you have really changed too much recently!

an: don't worry! My dear Lorenzo, I will be fine.

sa: (urging) well, Lorenzo, the merciful god will bless our respected Mr. Antonio. He will be fine. Let's hurry!

lo: ok then! (To Antonio and Bassanio) Let's go. Let's talk it over! Goodbye

! (down with Sa Laigneau)

(watching them down)

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

Mr. Antonio, you know very well how I squandered all my meager assets in order to maintain my dignity. Now I don't care about my family's decline and my life is urgent. My biggest worry is how to get rid of this heavy debt accumulated on my back due to profligacy. No matter in money or friendship, I owe you the most. Only because of our deep friendship and your kindness and generosity, I dare to tell you all my debts.

ann: ok, bassanio, please tell me that as long as your plan is as aboveboard as your usual standing, then my money can be used by you, and I can be driven by you myself. I am willing to do my best to help you!

B: You know what? Mr. Antonio, when I was practicing archery in my childhood, every time I shot an arrow, I would shoot it in the same direction and with the same range with the other arrow, so that I could find both arrows, but sometimes it means a double adventure, and it is possible that neither arrow can be found, but usually I am lucky. Now I want to tell you that I have mentioned 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 the very least, I can return the second arrow to you, so that I can still be a debtor who is grateful for your previous assistance!

Ann: You know my character. Now it's just a waste of time for you to use this metaphor to test my friendship. If you suspect 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 ability. Please tell me, my Bassanio!

Ba: There is a rich heiress in Belmont. She is very beautiful. What's more, she has excellent virtue. From her eyes, I sometimes receive her affectionate hope. Her name is Portia, which is not inferior to Portia, the daughter of ancient Kato and the good wife of Brutus. The big world has not ignored their benefits, and the winds of the four winds have brought suitors with registered nationality from every coast. Her bright hair, like the legendary golden fleece, has 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 will have full confidence and will definitely achieve my wish!

Ann: 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, so let's try my credit and see what effect it has in Venice. I will borrow as much as I can with my face and try my best to supply you to Belmont to see your beautiful Portia. Come on, let's go separately and ask where we can borrow money. (Reaching out to Labaca Neo) I will use my credit as a guarantee, or lend it to you in my name! (Both of them get off)

Scene 2

Location: Belmont, Portia's home

Characters: Portia, Nerissa, servant

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

Portia: Really, Nerissa, my little body is tired of this vast world.

Nerissa: All right, my lady! Your misfortune is as great as your luck, so it is no wonder that you will be tired of this world. But in my humble opinion, people who eat too much will be as sick as those who starve and don't eat, so the golden mean is the best, wealth will make people white-haired, and clothing and vegetables will last for years!

Bao: what a good sentence!

Tony: it would be better if you could follow it.

Bao: (Bowing his head and sighing) If it is as easy to do one thing as to know what to do, then small churches will be turned into auditoriums, and poor people's huts will be turned into princes' palaces. Only then can a good teacher follow his own teachings, and his reason can make laws to restrain his feelings. But when he is enthusiastic and excited, he will disregard the cold laws. Young people are unrestrained wild rabbits and will skip the rational ones set by the elderly. I will not help me choose my Mr Right, nor will I abandon the people I hate (touching three boxes in turn, facing the audience and raising my hands). The will of a living daughter will be restrained by the will of a dead father. Nerissa, isn't it embarrassing that you can't choose or refuse like this?

Nerissa: The old man was highly respected before his death. When a gentleman dies, he must have a divine understanding. Since he has decided to draw lots, who can choose one of the three boxes of gold, silver and lead, so that he can match you and get married (passing through the three boxes with his hand and holding Portia's arm), then the person who can be selected must be worthy of your heart and love. But among these princes and grandsons who have come to propose to you, which one do you like best?

Portia: Please list their names. When you mention someone, I will make a few comments on him. You can know my impression of each of them by my hungry comments.

Nerissa: The first one is the Prince of Naples.

Portia: Well, he's really a horse. He doesn't talk, but when it comes to talking, the teacher says what happened to their horses. He thinks he is a great skill because he can personally install horseshoe stables for his horses. I wonder if he was a groom in his last life.

Nerissa: What about Count Baratin?

Portia: He frowns all the time, as if to say, "If you don't love me, suit yourself."' He doesn't smile when he hears jokes. I think he looks sad when he is young, and he has to cry all the time when he is old. I would rather marry a skeleton than either of these two people. God bless me not to fall into the hands of these two people.

Nerissa: What do you think of the French nobleman, Mr. Le Slander?

Portia: Since God made him, let's call him a man. In my conscience, I know it is a sin to laugh at people, but he! Hey, his horse is a little 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 nothing of his own characteristics. When he hears thrush singing, he will dance and compete with him when he sees his own shadow. 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 crazy, I will never promise him.

Nerissa: So which British young baron, Fu Kang Boliqi, do you mean?

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 ok, but-alas! Who wants to compete with a mute? Besides, his costume is strange enough. I think he bought his doublet in Italy, his trousers in France and his bonnet in Germany. As for his behavior, the Shouting Department learned it from all directions.

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

Portia: He knows the way of reciprocity. Because an Englishman once gave him a slap in the face, he vowed to give it as soon as he got the chance. 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 that German young master, the nephew of Duke Saxon?

Portia: He's bad enough when he's sober in the morning, and even more disgusting when he's drunk in the afternoon. When he's good, he's not qualified to be a person. When he's bad, he's worse than an animal. If misfortune befalls me, I hope I'll never be with him.

Nerissa: If he asked for a choice, but he actually chose the reserved box, wouldn't it be against the old man's will if you refused to marry him at that time?

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

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

Portia: If no one is willing to marry me according to my father's will, then even if I live to be a thousand years old, I will have to stay unmarried for life. I'm glad that these suitors are so sensible, because there is not one of them who I am not eager to go. Please ask God to give them a pleasant journey.

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

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

nerissa; Exactly, miss, according to my stupid eyes, he is the most worthy of matching a beautiful woman among all men!

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

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

Portia: if only I could welcome this fifth guest wholeheartedly, just as I sent the four guests away wholeheartedly. If he is competent and has a devil's face, then instead of making me his wife, let him listen to my confession. Come on, Nerissa, let's send them on their way (to the servants). Go ahead of you-(the same below)
