最后真的是，相關(guān)人士死光光，吃瓜群眾得大獎(jiǎng)。。。。

關(guān)于這個(gè)視頻的一些注解放在這里。

1. 關(guān)于奧菲莉亞(Ophelia)

雖然奧菲莉亞在這部戲里只是個(gè)花瓶，但她死亡的場(chǎng)景被英國(guó)畫家約翰.米萊（John Everett Millais）重現(xiàn)，成為了世界名畫。

當(dāng)年只有19歲的女孩Elizabeth Siddal（伊麗莎白.西德?tīng)枺┏蔀榱诉@幅畫的模特。米萊讓她穿好衣服，泡在浴缸里，用來(lái)模仿奧菲莉亞淹死的場(chǎng)景。當(dāng)時(shí)是倫敦的冬天，米萊在浴缸底下放了火，讓水溫變高。有一次火滅了，而當(dāng)時(shí)米萊太專注于繪畫沒(méi)有注意到，冰涼的水讓西德?tīng)柕昧藝?yán)重的感冒和肺炎，對(duì)她一生的健康都造成影響。后來(lái)，西德?tīng)柕陌职肿屆兹R付了醫(yī)藥費(fèi)。

順便一說(shuō)，哈姆雷特那段著名的臺(tái)詞“to be or not to be（是生存還是毀滅）”（Act 3, Scene 1），也是在見(jiàn)奧菲莉亞之前說(shuō)的。說(shuō)完這段話，他就告訴奧菲莉亞，不如你趕緊去當(dāng)尼姑吧....真是神奇的腦回路

6. To be or not to be 梁實(shí)秋翻譯版

死后還是存在，還是不存在，

——這是問(wèn)題；

究竟要忍受著強(qiáng)暴的命運(yùn)的矢石，

還是要拔劍和這滔天的恨事拼命相斗，

才是英雄氣概呢？死；

——長(zhǎng)眠，

——如此而已；

闔眼一睡，若是就能完結(jié)心頭的苦痛和肉體承受的萬(wàn)千驚擾，

——那真是我們要去虔求的愿望。

死；——長(zhǎng)眠；——長(zhǎng)眠么！

也許做夢(mèng)哩！

唉，阻礙就在此了；

我們捐棄塵世之后，在死睡當(dāng)中會(huì)做些什么夢(mèng)，這卻不可不假思索；

苦痛的生活所以能有這樣長(zhǎng)的壽命，也就是這樣的動(dòng)機(jī)所致；

否則在短刀一揮就可完結(jié)生命的時(shí)候，

誰(shuí)還甘心忍受這時(shí)代的鞭撻譏嘲，

高壓者的橫暴，

驕傲者的菲薄，

失戀的悲哀，

法律的延宕，

官吏的驕縱，

以及一切凡夫俗子所能加給善人的欺凌？

誰(shuí)愿背著重?fù)?dān)，在厭倦的生活之下呻吟喘汗，若不是因?yàn)閷?duì)于死后的恐懼，

——死乃是旅客一去不返的未經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的異鄉(xiāng)，

——令人心智迷惑，使得我寧可忍受現(xiàn)有的苦痛，而不敢輕易嘗試那不可知的苦痛；

所以“自覺(jué)的意識(shí)”使得我們都變成了懦夫，

所以敢作敢為的血性被思前想后的顧慮害得變成了灰色，

驚天動(dòng)地的大事業(yè)也往往因此而中途旁逸，壯志全消了
