Answer 1

" 摘自senrea 和liycxh的回答
to be or not to be"是莎士比亚四大悲剧之一<哈姆雷特>的主人翁哈姆雷特所说的一句意义极其复杂而深刻台词,国内外莎学研究者为究其原义,曾作过穷经浩首的研究,得出许多令人"茅塞顿开""豁然开朗"的阐释.根据剧本原有的剧情,"to be or not to be"大致可以翻成以下几种:1)生存还是毁灭 2)为父报仇还是就此作罢 3)卫护真理,还是忍气吞声,卑贱地活着 等.
就是要或不要，这是一个问题 莎士比亚著作<哈姆雷特>中的名句
英若诚译为：生，还是死，这是个问题。
卞之林译为：活下去还是不活，这是问题。
朱生豪译为：生存还是毁灭，这是一个值得考虑的问题。

Hamlet's endurance has reached the breaking point. His father has been murdered. His mother, who he loves dearly, has married her dead husband's brother. Moreover his sweetheart, Ophelia, has been acting very strangely. He senses that she does not love him any more. Now, he's all alone. The world that he knew is shattered. His black mood of despair is deepened by his inability to act - to do something to change the situation.

Now he ponders whether to continue living - or to take his own life.

Hamlet:

To be, or not to be - that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die - to sleep -
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die - to sleep.
To sleep - perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?

Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death -
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns - puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.
