Then Polonius went to Gertrude's sitting room.

然后尼尔斯去格特鲁德的客。

Polonius had a long gray beard and thought himself quite wise.

尼厄斯留着长长的灰白胡子，自认为很聪明。

The king and queen are doubtful, whereupon Polonius proposes that the king and he hide behind an arras, in order to overhear a conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia.

国王和王后心存疑虑，尼厄斯建议国王和他躲在阿拉斯后面，以便偷听哈姆雷特和奥菲莉亚之间的对话。

In Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii, Polonius announces to the king and queen that Hamlet is insane because of his love for Ophelia, who has spurned the prince's advances.

在《哈姆雷特》第二幕第二场中，尼厄斯向国王和王后宣布，哈姆雷特因为爱奥菲莉亚而精神失常，而奥菲莉亚却拒绝王子的求爱。

Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, and the courtiers seated themselves in front of it.

克劳狄斯、格特鲁德、尼厄斯和朝臣们在它前面坐下。

Hamlet lifted the curtain and saw Polonius' body.

哈姆雷特掀开窗帘，看到尼尔斯的尸体。

The ghost vanished, and Hamlet looked down at the dead Polonius.

鬼魂消失，哈姆雷特低头看着死去的尼尔斯。

Hamlet, thinking that Polonius was Claudius, thrust his sword through the curtain and stabbed the old man.

哈姆雷特误认为尼尔斯就是克劳狄斯，于是将剑刺穿窗帘刺向老人。

And did he perhaps also hear Polonius say that he would " loose my daughter to him" ?

他也许还听到尼厄斯说他会“把我的女儿交给他”？

Just then Polonius entered the hall.

就在这时，涅斯走进大。

Now the question is, has Hamlet overheard Polonius say earlier that he and the king planned to spy on him?

现在的问题是，哈姆雷特是否刚才无意中听到尼尔斯说他和国王计划监视他？

For a good many people, like old Polonius, have seen all the world, and yet remain little better than children after all.

因为很多人， 比如老尼厄斯， 已经见识整个世界， 但终究还是比孩子好不多少。

If so Hamlet's conversations with both Polonius and Ophelia would mean one thing; if he did not overhear the plotting, they would mean another.

如果是这样的话，哈姆雷特与尼尔斯和奥菲莉亚的对话就意味着一件事：如果他没有无意中听到这个阴谋，那他们就另有打算。

" Mother, good night." After Hamlet left, Gertrude rushed to Claudius and told him that Hamlet had killed Polonius in a fit of madness.

“妈妈，晚安。”哈姆雷特离开后，格特鲁德冲向克劳狄斯，告诉他哈姆雷特在疯狂中杀死尼尔斯。
