　　THE MERCHANT OF VENICE(1)

　　D: Duke S: Shylock B: Bassanio A: Antonio P: Portia

　　D: Shylock, the world thinks -- and I think so too -- that you are playing a cruel game, but we all believe that you will give it up in the end. Have mercy on Antonio, Shylock. Be reasonable.

　　S: I've promised to take my pound of flesh. If you won't let me have it, that will be a sign of weakness and no one will trust your laws any more. The greatness of Venice will soon be lost. Antonio is my enemy, and I hate him.

　　B: Do all men kill the things they do not love?

　　A: It's useless trying to argue with Shylock. You might as well go stand upon the beach and argue with the sea. Don't wait any longer. Pass judgement on me and give Shylock what he wants.

　　B: I'll pay you six thousand ducats for the three thousand ducats that Antonio borrowed.

　　S: If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. Give me my pound of flesh!
