Much Ado About Nothing(2)

 DON PEDRO What secret hath held you here that you followed not to Leonato's?

 BENEDICK I would your grace would constrain/kənˈstreɪn/强迫 me to tell.

 DON PEDRO I charge thee on thy allegiance [əˈliːdʒəns]忠诚.

BENEDICK You hear, Count Claudio? I can be secret as a dumb man; I would have you think so. But on my allegiance-mark you this, on my allegiance-he is in love. With who? Now, that is your grace's part. Mark how short his answer is: with Hero, Leonato's short  daughter.

CLAUDIO If this were so, so were it uttered[ˈʌtəd]说.

BENEDICK Like the old tale, my lord: 'it is not so, nor'twas not so'; but indeed, God forbid it should be so!

CLAUDIO If my passion change not shortly, God forbid it should be otherwise.

DON PEDRO Amen, if you love her, for the lady is very well worthy.

CLAUDIO You speak this to fetch[fetʃ]取来 me in, my lord.

DON PEDRO By my troth, I speak my thought.

CLAUDIO And in faith, my lord, I spoke mine.

BENEDICK And by my two faiths and troths[trəʊθ]誓言, my lord, I spoke mine.

CLAUDIO That I love her, I feel.

DON PEDRO That she is worthy, I know.

BENEDICK That I neither feel how she should be nor know how she should be worthy is the opinion that fire cannot melt out of me; I will die in it at the stake[steɪk]桩.

DON PEDRO Thou wast ever an obstinate[ˈɒbstɪnət] heretic[ˈherətɪk]顽固的异端 in the despite[dɪˈspaɪt]尽管，即使 of beauty.

CLAUDIO And never could maintain his part but in the force of his will.
