【讲座摘要】
今天，我们聚集一堂，满怀景仰，纪念威廉·莎士比亚，这位千古圣手，这位世界文学巨匠。一人唱呵，万方应响。其人长谢，其文长存。天纵诗宗，旷世之才，千载一时，举世仰慕。笔下琳琅世难及，芳声远驰无出右，环球增华而扬采，峥嵘气象而雄视。高古典雅，尽得风流。离伦绝类，吐辞为经。遒文丽藻，方驾无双。华章藻蔚，风骨绝伦。妙思层出，有若泉涌，诗史互见。“肇自然之性，成造化之功。”毕古今剧坛之能事，成万方诗苑之绝唱。堂奥自开，英伦披靡，欧陆膜拜。契阔百代，古今仰止。春秋代序，中外学人，韦编三绝，无可胜纪。美哉轮焉，美哉奂焉，说不尽的莎士比亚！昔日令人叹止，而今日甚一日。虽然时隔四个世纪，今天，沪上学府纷纷举办相同的活动，堪称文化之盛事。我们不仅表示发自肺腑的景仰，而且视为促进文化、弘扬人文的一大举措。首先理应感谢主办方和在座诸位，本人躬逢其盛，参与其事，不胜荣幸之至。区区之怀，言不能尽。一介普通读者，有幸与各位分享莎士比亚取之不尽、用之不竭的文学遗产，我心欣欣。莎剧博大精深，鲜观衢路，或照隅隙，惟予小子，引为幸事。
值此之际，我们理应感激近百年来诸多学界前辈和当世译者的呕心沥血，寒暑勤勤，完成众多莎剧莎诗译本。田汉、朱生豪、曹未风、梁实秋、梁宗岱、章益、卞之琳、孙大雨、林同济先生，接踵而起，译本迭出，踵事增华，非一代也。译文出版社推出诗体全集译本，可喜可贺，言语不足形容。这部新译由前辈方平先生主译，诸位译者参与翻译，两代译者付诸心血，国外文学大师作品，我国大多均有译本，而戏剧家在国内有如此众多的译本，莎士比亚一人而已，空前绝后……。
Ladies and Gentlemen,
(It is both an honour and a challenge for the present speaker to be here, although, nothing could give him greater pleasure and satisfaction than your presence. To be candid, without first acquiring a thorough knowledge of the topic today, the speaker dares not snatch at a false repute by a freshly prepared eloquence. As we know, the first thing a speaker could hope for his speech, no doubt, is to win the goodwill of his audience, without it he cannot succeed as he would wish, so is the case with the present speaker in front of you, he wishes to encounter some friendly or kindly glances from you. And he will for once stoop to beg your pardon, if you might, here or there, find some of faults in what follows, or his voice not so distinct and articulate. I have wandered a little, now return to the point. ….)
(以下为正式讲座内容第一节)
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), to whom is the name unfamiliar? To whom is any one of his plays or sonnets familiar? Or，in plainer words，we know Shakespeare by the name, yet we don’t know Shakespeare by his work. The seemingly contradictory fact itself—the familiarity of his name and the unfamiliarity of his work---is perhaps one of the main reasons that we, full of admiration, are gathering here to mark the fourth centennial of Shakespeare, the greatest of all English writers, the immortal poet who only belongs to England, but also to every part of the civilized world. Thus, the importance of Shakespeare could be no better shown than the fact that his work has long outlived its author, and he has longer outlived his age. Shakespeare is, it is believed, immensely alive in the 21st century.
