甲:她存心救自己,还配用基督徒的葬礼吗？

🔊 SECOND CLOWN. I tell thee she is, and therefore make her grave straight. The crowner hath sat on her, and finds it Christian burial.

乙:哎,验明了是这么回事。

🔊 FIRST CLOWN. It must be se offendendo, it cannot be else. For here lies the point: if I drown myself wittingly, it argues an act: and an act hath three branches. It is to act, to do, and to perform: argal, she drowned herself wittingly.

甲:那一定是“自为”了,不会是别的。问题就在这儿:要是我存心把自己淹死,那便是一个举动；而一个举动是分三个步骤的。那就是:行事、做作,与完成。所以,她是存心把自己淹死的。

But if the water come to him and drown him, he drowns not himself. Argal, he that is not guilty of his own death shortens not his own life.

甲:让我说完。喏,水在这里；好。人在这里；好。要是这人走到水里去把自己淹死,那么不管他愿不愿意,总是他自己走过去的--你留心这一点。可是,要是水冲过来把他淹死,那便不是他自己淹死自己了。所以,对于他自己的死无罪的人,并没有缩短他自己的生命。

甲:怎么,你是个异教徒吗？你怎么理解《圣经》的？《圣经》上说亚当掘地。他能掘地而没有“工具”吗？我再问你一句,要是你回答得不对题,你可得承认你自己--

甲:我很喜欢你的聪明劲儿,真的。绞架是很合适的；可是它怎么合适呢？它对于那些作恶的人是合适的。现在你说绞架造得比教堂还坚固,这是有罪的话,所以,绞架对于你也许合适。来,重新说过。

🔊
