       鲍西娅:那商人身上的一磅肉是你的;法庭判给你,法律许可你。

       夏洛克:公平正直的法官!

       鲍西娅:你必须从他的脚前割下这磅肉来;法律许可你,法庭判给你。

       夏洛克:博学多才的法官!判得好!来,预备!

       鲍西娅:且慢,还有别的话哩。这约上并没有允许你取他的一滴血,只是写明着“一磅肉”;所以你可以照约拿一磅肉去,可是在割肉的时候,要是流下一滴基督徒的血,你的土地财产,按照威尼斯的法律,就要全部充公。

       葛莱西安诺:啊,公平正直的法官!听着,犹太人;啊,博学多才的法官!

       夏洛克:法律上是这样说的吗?

       鲍西娅:你自己可以去查查明白。既然你要求公道,我就给你公道,而且比你所要求的更地道。

       葛莱西安诺:啊,博学多才的法官!听着,犹太人;好一个博学多才的法官!

       夏洛克:那么我愿意接受还款;照约上的数目三倍还我,放了那基督徒。

       巴萨尼奥:钱在这儿。

       鲍西娅:别忙!这犹太人必须得到绝对的公道。别忙!他除了照约处罚以外,不能接受其他的赔偿。

       葛莱西安诺:啊,犹太人!一个公平正直的法官,一个博学多才的法官!

       鲍西娅:所以你准备着动手割肉吧。不准流一滴血,也不准割得超过或是不足一磅的重量;要是你割下来的肉,比一磅略微轻一点或是重一点,即使相差只有一丝一毫,或者仅仅一根汗毛之微,就要把你抵命,你的财产全部充公。

       葛莱西安诺:一个再世的但尼尔,一个但尼尔,犹太人!现在你可掉在我的手里了,你这异教徒!

       鲍西娅:那犹太人为什么还不动手?

       夏洛克:把我的本钱还我,放我去吧。

       巴萨尼奥:钱我已经预备好在这儿,你拿去吧。

       鲍西娅:他已经当庭拒绝过了;我们现在只能给他公道,让他履行原约。

       葛莱西安诺:好一个但尼尔,一个再世的但尼尔!谢谢你,犹太人,你教会我说这句话。

       夏洛克:难道我单单拿回我的本钱都不成吗?

       鲍西娅:犹太人,除了冒着你自己生命的危险割下那一磅肉以外,你不能拿一个钱。

       夏洛克:好,那么魔鬼保佑他去享用吧!我不打这场官司了。

       鲍西娅:等一等,犹太人,法律上还有一点牵涉你。威尼斯的法律规定:凡是一个异邦人企图用直接或间接手段,谋害任何公民,查明确有实据者,他的财产的半数应当归受害的一方所有,其余的半数没入公库,犯罪者的生命悉听公爵处置,他人不得过问。你现在刚巧陷入这个法网,因为根据事实的发展,已经足以证明你确有运用直接间接手段,危害被告生命的企图,所以你已经遭逢着我刚才所说起的那种危险了。快快跪下来,请公爵开恩吧。

       葛莱西安诺:求公爵开恩,让你自己去寻死吧;可是你的财产现在充了公,一根绳子也买不起啦,所以还是要让公家破费把你吊死。

       公爵:让你瞧瞧我们基督徒的精神,你虽然没有向我开口,我自动饶恕了你的死罪。你的财产一半划归安东尼奥,还有一半没入公库;要是你能够诚心悔过,也许还可以减处你一笔较轻的罚款。

       鲍西娅:这是说没入公库的一部分,不是说划归安东尼奥的一部分。

       夏洛克:不,把我的生命连着财产一起拿了去吧,我不要你们的宽怒。你们拿掉了支撑房子的柱子,就是拆了我的房子;你们夺去了我的养家活命的根本,就是活活要了我的命。

    Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters.They occur almost everywhere in the world,resulting in widespread damage and even death.Consequently,scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods.So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions,from deep snow on the ground to human error,which cause flooding.

    When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water.Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding.If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet ground,flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen.Frozen ground or ground that is very wet cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams.

    Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding.When ice begins to melt,the surface of the ice cracks and breaks into large pieces.These pieces of ice move and float down the river,They can form a dam in the river,causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream.If the dam breaks suddenly,then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.

    Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding.When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it,the results can be devastating.Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breaks occur,the great force of the water is like a great tidal wave.The dam waters can travel tens of kilometres,cover the ground in metres of mud and litter,and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path.

    Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur,they do know a great deal about when floods are probably going to occur.Deep snow,ice-covered rivers,and weak dams are all strong conditions for potential flooding.
