问一个《Hamlet》里的问题

rlee

Norway指的是挪威国王。用国家代替君王。后文的impotent and bedrid都是指挪威国王。

to suprress前面最好有个dash. 是前文We have here writ to Norway的不定式，表示目的，给挪威国王拟书一封，打压一下young Fortibras.

gait (n.) course, doings, steps

裘克安的注释是：levies, lists, full proportion: 三字同义，“所征的兵”。proportions: numbers, levies.
proportion (plural) military material, forces and supplies needed for war

见亨利五世 I.ii
We must not only arm to invade the French,
But lay down our proportions to defend
Against the Scot, who will make road upon us
With all advantages.

又，
We hope to make the sender blush at it.
Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour
That may give furtherance to our expedition;
For we have now no thought in us but France,
Save those to God, that run before our business.
Therefore let our proportions for these wars
Be soon collected and all things thought upon
That may with reasonable swiftness add
More feathers to our wings; for, God before,
We’ll chide this Dauphin at his father’s door.
Therefore let every man now task his thought,
That this fair action may on foot be brought.
