维洛那二绅士是莎士比亚的早期喜剧作品,于文艺复兴期间的1594年创作。该剧来源于葡萄牙诗人豪尔赫·蒙特马约用散文体写的《多情的戴安娜》,原剧本已失传。该剧本是莎士比亚第一部以爱情和友谊为主题的浪漫喜剧,以两个朋友在爱情上的波折为主要情节。从这部戏剧开始,莎士比亚抛弃了传统闹剧的模式,开始注重人物性格的塑造和心理描写。剧中凡伦丁的正直朴实和普洛丢斯的狡猾放荡都十分鲜明。尤其值得一提的是剧中出现的仆人朗斯和史比德,他们的一言一行、一举一动都使人们欢笑不已。他们是莎士比亚引人注目的仆人形象系列的第一对。
The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1589 and 1592. It is considered by some to be Shakespeare's first play, and is often seen as showing his first tentative steps in laying out some of the themes and motifs with which he would later deal in more detail; for example, it is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. The play deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity, the conflict between friendship and love, and the foolish behaviour of people in love. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed.
此剧是莎士比亚的一出喜剧,可能写于1589年到1592年。有人说此为莎士比亚的第一部剧作,也是他初次尝试一些主题和主旨的实验性的作品;例如,此剧是他第一部女主角穿上了男装的作品。此剧的主题是友谊和不忠贞,以及友谊和爱情的冲突,以及人们在爱情中的愚蠢举动。此剧突出了一些小丑式的人物。而绅士在此剧中的作用则显得较为弱势。凡伦丁和普洛丢斯是维洛那出身贵族的一对要好的朋友。凡伦丁不愿意驻守家园、把青春消磨在慵懒的无聊中,于是他决定去米兰见见世面。普洛丢斯却沉浸在和朱丽娅的爱情之中,对学问和世事都毫不关心。凡伦丁到达米兰公爵府后,被公爵女儿西尔维娅的美貌和善良所吸引。西尔维娅也爱上了他,两人形成了浓浓的爱意。此时的普洛丢斯被他的父亲也送到了公爵府求职,意图日后有所成就。临行前,他与朱丽娅山盟海誓,可是当他见到希尔维娅的时候,便立刻爱上了她。他向公爵密告了凡伦丁和西尔维娅要私奔的事情,导致凡伦丁被放逐。而朱丽娅为了寻找爱人,女扮男装只身前往公爵府并成为了侍从。当她目睹普洛丢斯对西尔维娅的爱意后,她伤心极了。可却因为契机使她了解西尔维娅仍然爱着凡伦丁。此时的凡伦丁却在森林中遭到强盗的抢劫,可因为他一番机智的说辞,强盗们将他推为首领。正在思念着凡伦丁的西尔维娅,正面对着父亲的逼婚,在爱格勒莫老先生的帮助下,她顺利的逃出王宫,但却被凡伦丁领导的强盗们所抓获。正当她要被带到凡伦丁的面前时,普洛丢斯却带着伪装成他的侍从的朱丽娅前来拯救西尔维娅。普洛丢斯在众人面前向西尔维娅诉说爱意,却发现凡伦丁也在现场。普洛丢斯不由得感到一阵羞愧,他当下表示忏悔。凡伦丁大度的原谅了他。而朱丽娅也向普洛丢斯表明身份,他被她坚贞的爱所打动,重新爱上了她。由于凡伦丁对西尔维娅勇敢的爱,公爵决定成全他们,并赦免了凡伦丁手下的强盗们。于是2对相爱的人一起回到的王宫举行盛大的婚礼。
