醉汉老婆： A pair of stocks, you rogue!
蓝衣服男士： Grim death, how foul and loathsome is thy visage.
仆人：Sirs, I will practice on this drunken man.
（仆人与男士窃语）
（抬起醉汉扔到床上）
（俩仆人窃语）
英语话剧剧本醉汉： For God’s sake, a pot of small ale!
仆人1： Your honour
仆人2：Your lordship
醉汉：Call me not ‘honour’， nor ‘lordship’. Am I not Christopher Sly, old Sly’s son of Burton Heath?
灰衣服男士： Thou art a lord and nothing but a lord.
仆人1： These fifteen years you have been in a dream.
醉汉： These fifteen years! By my fay, a goodly nap! Upon my life I am a lord indeed!
矮个子男士： Your doctors thought it good you hear a play and frame your mind to mirth and merriment.
醉汉： Well, we’ll see it.
Baptista Minola ：Gentlemen, importune me no farther For how I firmly am resolved you know- That is, not to bestow my youngest daughter Before I have a husband for the elder.
(Katherine闯进)
Baptista Minola ：If either of you both love Katherine. Leave shall you have to court her at your pleasure.
秃头男士： To cart her rather! She’s too rough for me!
Katherine：I pray you, sir, it your will to make a stale of me among these mates?
戴帽子男士： ‘Mates’ maid? No mates for you Unless you were of gentler, milder mould.
（Katherine大叫）
戴帽子男士： From all such devils, good Lord deliver us!
秃头男士： And me too, good Lord!
3:20-6:30
Baptista Minola ：Bianca, get you in.妹妹在Baptista Minola 怀里哭）
And let it not displease thee, good Bianca. For I will love thee ne’er the less, my girl.
Katherine：（对Bianca）A pretty peat!
Bianca：(对Katherine) Sister, content you in my discontent.
(对Baptista Minola ) Sir, to your pleasure humbly I subscribe.
蓝帽子男：Why will you mew her up, Signor Baptista, for this friend of hell?
Baptista Minola ：Gentlemen, content ye. I am resolved.
(停顿一秒后对大女儿) Katherine, you may stay.
Katherine：Why, and I trust I may go too, may I not? Ha!(生气进屋)
两男子几乎同时：Well！Well！
旁白小矮人：（跑过来）What a wretched state of affairs! Old Baptista will never give his consent to the marriage of the fair Bianca, not until a husband is found for Katherine. No consent, no dowry.
（旁白小矮人拉上幕帘）
Hortensio：My good friend Petruchio! What happy gale blows you to Padua here from old Verona?（站在窗口说）
Petruchio：Such wind as scatters young man through the world. Signor Hortensio, I come to wive it wealthily in Padua; If wealthily, then happily in Padua.（骑马说）
Hortensio：I can, Petruchio, help thee to a wife. With wealth enough, and young, and be
auteous, brought up as best becomes a gentlewoman. Her only fault – and that is faults enough- Is that she is intolerable crust, and shrewd and forward. I would not wed her for a mine of gold!
Petruchio：Hortensio, peace. Thou know’st not gold’s effect. I will not sleep, Hortensio, till I see her…
Bianca（被Katherine拖着走）：Good sister, wrong me not, nor wrong yourself, to make a bondmaid and a slave of me.（Katherine把Bianca的头压进水里）
Baptista Minola （推开房门说）：Why, how now dame, whence grows this insolence.
(从房门口下来拉架对大女儿说)
For shame, thou hilding of a devilish spirit, why does thou wrong her that did ne’er wrong thee?
(把小女儿拉到自己身后说)Bianca, get thee in.
Katherine(对Baptista Minola 说，此时Bianca跑开)：Nay, now I see. She is your treasure, she must have a husband, I must dance barefoot on her wedding day!(Baptista Minola 刚要说话被打断) Talk not to me, I will go sit and weep, till I can find occasion for revenge!(说完立刻走开)
Baptista Minola 哭着自言自语：Was ever gentleman thus grieved as I?
(继续哭两秒后望向大门口)But who comes here?
Petruchio：（走过来说）I am a gentleman of Verona, sir. Petruchio is my name. Pray have you not a daughter called Katherine, fair and virtuous?
