       “I know what you want,” said the sea witch。“It is stupid of you, but you shall have your way,for it will bring you to grief, my pretty pnncess。  You want to get rid of your fish-tail, and to have two supports instead of it,like those the people of the earth walk with, so that the young prince may fall in love with you, and you may get him and an immortal soul。“ And with tlus the witch laughed loudly and disagreeably, so that the toad and the water-snakes tumbled down to the ground,where they crawled about。“ You come just in time,” said the witch:“ after tomorrow at sunrise I could not heip you until another year had gone by。I will prepare a draught for you,with which you must swim to land tomorrow before the sun rises,and seat yourself there and drink it;then your tail will pafl in two and shrink in and become what the people of the earth call beautiful legs, but it will hurt you-it will seem as if you were cut with a sharp sword。All who see you will declare you to be the prettiest human being, they ever beheld。 You will keep your graceful walk; no dancer will be able to move so lighdy as you; but every step you take will be as if you trod upon sharp knives, and as if your blood must flow。  If you will bear all this, I can help you。 “
    “ Yes !”said the little sea maid, with a trembling voice; and she thought of the prince and the immortal soul。
    “But, remember,” said the witch。 “when you have once received a human form, you can never be a sea maid again; you can never return through the water to your sisters or to your father’s palace; and if you do not win the prince’s love, so that he forgets father and mother for your sake, is attached to you heart and soul,and tells the priest to join your hands, you will not receive an immortal soul。 On the first morning after he has married another,your heart will break and you will become foam on the water。”
    “I will do it,” said the little sea maid; but she became as pale as death。
    “ But you must pay me, too,”said the witch,“ and it is not a trifle that I ask。You have the finest voice of all here at the bottom of the water; with that you think to enchant him; but this voice you must give to me。 The best thing you possess I will leave for my costly draught! I must give you my own blood in it,so that the draught may be sharp as two-edged sword。”
    “But if you take away my voice。” said the little sea maid, “what will remain to me?”
    “ Your beautiful form,” replied the witch。  “your graceful walk, and your eloquent eyes: with those you can take captive a human heart。 Well, have you lost your courage? Put out your little tongue, and then I will cut it off for my payment,and then you shall have the strong draught。 ”
    “Let it be so。 ” said the little sea maid。 And the witch put on her pot to brew the draught。
    “Cleanliness is a good thing,” said she and she cleaned out the pot with the snakes, which she tied up in a big knot; then she scratched herself, and let her black blood drop into it, The steam rose up in the strangest forms, enough to frighten the beholder。 Every moment the witch threw somedung else into the pot; and when it boiled thoroughly, there was a sound like the weeping of a crocodile。At last the draught was ready。 It looked like the purest water。
    “There you have it,” said the witch。 And she cut off the little sea maid’s tongue, so that now she was dumb, and could neither sing nor speak。
    “If the polypes should lay hold of you when you are returning through my forest,” said the witch, “just cast a single drop of this liquor upon them, and their arms and fingers will fly into a thousand pieces。” But the little sea maid had no need to do this: the polypes drew back in terror when they saw the shining liquor,that gleamed in her hand as if it were a twinkling star。  In this way she soon passed through the forest, the moss, and the rushing whirlpools。
    She could see her father’s palace。 The torches were extinguished in the great dancing-hall, and they were certainly sleeping within, but she did not dare to go to them, now that she was dumb and was about to quit them for ever。 She felt as if her heart would burst with sorrow。She crept into the garden, took a flower from each of her sisters’ flower-beds, blew a thousand kisses towards the palace, and rose up through the dark blue sea。
    The sun had not yet risen when she beheld the prince’s castle and mounted the splendid marble staircase。 The moon shone beautifully clear。 The little sea maid drank the burning sharp draught, and it seemed as if a two-edged sword went through her delicate body。  She fell down in a swoon, and lay as if she were dead。When the sun shone out over the sea she awoke, and felt a sharp pain; but just before her stood the handsome young prince。 He fixed his coal-black eyes upon her,so that she cast down her own, and then she perceived that her fishtail was gone,and that she had the prettiest pair of white feet a little girl could have。  But she had no clothes, so she shrouded herself in her long hair。The prince asked who she was and how she had come there; and she looked at him mildly, but very mournfully,with her dark blue eyes, for she could not speak。 Then he took her by the hand, and led her into the castle。  Each step she took was, as the witch had told her,as if she had been treading on pointed needles and sharp knives,but she bore it gladly。
    At the prince‘s right hand she moved on, light as a soap bubble, and he, like all the rest, was astonished at her graceful swaying movements。
    She now received splendid clothes of silk and muslin。  In the castle she was the snost beautiful of all; but she was dumb, and could neither sing nor speak。 Lovely slaves, dressed in silk and gold, stepped forward, and sang before the prince 。and his royal parents; one sang more charmingly than all the rest, and the prince smile at her and clapped his hands。  Then the little sea maid became sad; she knew that she herself’had sung far more sweetly, and thought。
    “Oh! If only he could know that I have given away my voice for ever to be with him。 ”
    Now the slaves danced pretty waving dances to the loveliest music; then the little sea maid lifted her beautiful white arms, stood on the tips of her toes, and glided dancing over the floor as no one had yet danced。 At each movement her beauty became more apparent, and her eyes spoke more directly to the heart than the songs of the slaves。
    All were delighted, and especially the prince, who called her his little foundling; and she danced again and again, although every time she touched the earth it seemed as if she were treading, upon sharp knives。 The prince said that she should always remain with him, and she received permission to sleep on a velvet cushion before his door。
    He had a page’s dress made for her, that she might accompany him on horseback。 They rode through the fragrant woods, where the green boughs swept their shoulders and the little birds sang in the fresh leaves。  She climbed with the prince up the tugh mountains, and although her delicate feet bled so that even the others could see it, she laughed at it herself, and followed him until they saw the clouds sailing beneath them like a flock of birds travelling to distant lands。
    At home in the prince’s castle, when the others slept at night, she went out on to the broad marble steps。 It cooled her burning feet to stand in the cold sea water,and then she thought of the dear ones in the deep。
    Once, in the night-time, her sisters came arm in arm。  Sadly they sang as they floated above the water; and she beckoned to them, and they recognized her, and told her how she had grieved them all。 Then they visited her every night; and once  she saw in the distance her old grandmother, who had not been above the surface for many years, and the sea king with his crown upon his head。 They stretched out their hands towards her, but did not venture so near the land as her sisters。
    Day by day the prince grew more fond of her。 He loved her as one loves a  dear good child, but it never came into his head to make her his wife; and yet she  must become his wife, or she would not receive an immortal soul, and would have to become foam on the sea on his wedding morning。

					世界名著典藏系列:莎士比亚戏剧全集  本卷浩瀚之作,汇集了文学巨匠威廉·莎士比亚毕生之精力与智慧,收录了他创作的全部三十八部戏剧。这部典藏不仅是对剧本文字的忠实呈现,更是对伊丽莎白时代及詹姆斯一世时期英国戏剧艺术的全面回顾与深度挖掘。莎翁被誉为“吟游诗人”与“埃文河畔的吟游诗人”,其作品穿越时空,至今仍是全球舞台上演频率最高的剧作,深刻影响了西方文学乃至世界文化的发展脉络。  宏伟的戏剧光谱:四大类目,洞察人性百态  本全集按照传统分类法,将莎士比亚的剧作清晰地划分为四大类:悲剧、喜剧、历史剧和传奇剧(或称之为“晚期浪漫剧”),力求为读者构建一个完整而系统的阅读体验。  一、 悲剧(Tragedies):命运的沉重挽歌  悲剧是莎士比亚文学成就的巅峰,展现了人类在面对命运、欲望、权力、背叛与自我毁灭时的极端挣扎。本卷收录了被誉为“四大悲剧”的巅峰之作,并辅以其他重要的悲剧作品。   四大悲剧的深度解析:      《哈姆雷特》(Hamlet): 这部作品探讨了复仇、犹豫不决、生存与死亡的哲学命题。“生存还是毁灭,这是一个值得考虑的问题”(To be, or not to be: that is the question)的独白,已成为人类精神困境的代名词。我们深入探究了这位丹麦王子内心的复杂性、他装疯的动机,以及宫廷内部的腐败与阴谋。      《奥赛罗》(Othello): 聚焦于嫉妒、种族偏见与阴险的蛊惑。摩尔人将军奥赛罗如何被其副手伊阿古(Iago)的谎言和恶意所蒙蔽,最终导致了对纯洁的苔丝狄蒙娜(Desdemona)的悲剧性误杀,是对信任崩塌的深刻描摹。      《李尔王》(King Lear): 探讨了父爱、权力分配的愚蠢以及人性在极度痛苦中的觉醒与救赎。三位女儿的态度——虚伪的奉承与真诚的爱——构成了戏剧冲突的核心,最终将李尔王推向了寒冷的荒原,直面自然的残酷与人情的冷漠。      《麦克白》(Macbeth): 这是一部关于野心腐蚀灵魂的寓言。麦克白夫妇受女巫预言的驱使,弑君篡位,他们的行为引发了一系列恐怖的连锁反应,直至双双被良心和外部力量所摧毁,展现了“权力欲”的毁灭性后果。   其他重要悲剧: 包括《罗密欧与朱丽叶》(Romeo and Juliet)中冲动的爱情悲剧,《泰特斯·安德洛尼克斯》(Titus Andronicus)中极端的复仇与暴行,以及《裘力斯·凯撒》(Julius Caesar)中对政治谋杀与共和精神的探讨。  二、 喜剧(Comedies):欢笑中的智慧与和解  莎士比亚的喜剧并非简单的闹剧,它们通常以误会、身份错位、爱情的波折和对社会习俗的幽默讽刺为基础,最终导向和解、婚姻与秩序的恢复。   浪漫喜剧的典范:      《仲夏夜之梦》(A Midsummer Night's Dream): 融合了凡人的爱情纠葛、精灵世界的魔法以及业余剧团的滑稽表演。该剧以雅典森林为背景,探讨了爱恋的易变性与梦境的魔力,充满了奇幻色彩与诗意。      《皆大欢喜》(As You Like It): 讲述了罗瑟琳(Rosalind)女扮男装逃入“亚登森林”后发生的一系列机智的爱情故事。森林被描绘成一个逃离宫廷腐败、回归自然本性的理想场所。      《第十二夜》(Twelfth Night): 以双重身份错位(薇奥拉扮成西萨里奥)引发的三角恋和一系列有趣的误会为核心,探讨了情感的错位与身份的模糊。   更具讽刺意味的喜剧:      《威尼斯商人》(The Merchant of Venice): 这部作品的复杂性在于它对法律、仁慈、偏见和经济剥削的深刻审视。夏洛克(Shylock)的形象,特别是他对“一磅肉”的要求,引发了关于宗教和种族冲突的持久讨论。      《无事生非》(Much Ado About Nothing): 以班内迪克与比阿特丽斯这对“欢喜冤家”的口头交锋为主线,展示了机智的对话如何最终导向爱情的结合。  三、 历史剧(Histories):江山社稷与王者的责任  莎士比亚的历史剧主要取材于英国的《两代君王史》与《理查德三世》。这些剧作不仅是历史的再现,更是对英国王权合法性、国家统一以及君主美德的探究。   《亨利四世》(Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2): 这两部曲是研究“好国王的培养”的经典教材。通过对比正直的哈尔王子(后来的亨利五世)与浪荡的福斯塔夫爵士(Falstaff)的对比,展现了王子如何通过磨砺最终承担起王室的责任,并最终摒弃不羁的友谊。  《亨利五世》(Henry V): 描绘了这位年轻君主在阿金库尔战役中的辉煌胜利,探讨了战争的荣耀、领袖的演讲艺术(如著名的圣克里斯平日演说)以及统治的重负。  《理查德三世》(Richard III): 塑造了莎翁笔下最邪恶、最具魅力的反派之一。理查德通过残忍的权谋登上帝位,其对观众的直接倾诉(“Aside”)打破了舞台与观众的界限,揭示了纯粹的野心如何扭曲人性。  四、 传奇剧/晚期浪漫剧(Romances):失而复得的希望  这些剧作创作于莎翁晚期,它们通常包含海上灾难、荒野流放、长期分离以及最终的和解与奇迹般的团聚。它们融合了悲剧的沉重与喜剧的乐观,充满了诗意的冥想。   《暴风雨》(The Tempest): 被视为莎翁的“告别之作”。魔法师普洛斯彼罗在荒岛上施展魔法,引导着伤害过他的人们,最终选择宽恕而非复仇。作品探讨了魔法、殖民主义、自由与艺术的本质。  《冬天的故事》(The Winter's Tale): 一部关于嫉妒如何摧毁家庭的史诗,历经十六年的时间跨度,以西西里国王的痛苦和波希米亚公主赫米奥妮的“复活”为高潮,强调了宽恕与时间的治愈力量。  《辛白林》(Cymbeline) 和 《 Pericles, Prince of Tyre》 也展示了作者对命运的深刻理解和对和解主题的最终肯定。  文本特质与研究价值  本典藏采用了权威的校订版本,忠实还原了莎翁作品的原始文本结构,包括详细的场景描述、角色指引以及对古英语词汇的必要注释(置于页脚,不干扰正文流畅阅读)。通过阅读本全集,读者不仅能领略到十四行诗和戏剧独白的音乐性与韵律美,更能深入理解莎士比亚如何构建复杂的人物心理模型——从国王到小丑,从贵族到仆人,无一不具有鲜明的个性与深刻的矛盾。  这部全集是戏剧爱好者、文学研究者、表演艺术家以及所有渴望接触西方文学瑰宝的读者的必备藏书。它不仅是一部戏剧集,更是一部关于爱、恨、权力、幻觉与真实的人类行为百科全书。
