『壹』 《威尼斯商人》英文简介
简介:Antonio, a merchant of Venice, was a generous rich merchant, which was contrary to Shylock's usury policy.
Antonio's good friend Bassanio asked him to borrow 3000 gold coins because he wanted to propose to Portia, a beautiful girl who inherited a fortune in Belmont.
Antonio had no money left around him. He had to borrow 3000 gold coins from Shylock with his merchant ship that had not returned to Hong Kong as collateral.
Shylock hated Antonio because Antonio lent money without interest, affected the usury instry and insulted himself. He took the opportunity of signing the loan contract to set up a trap and wait for revenge.
威尼斯商人安东尼奥是个宽厚为怀的富商,与另外一位犹太人夏洛克的高利贷政策恰恰相反。
安东尼奥的一位好朋友巴萨尼奥因要向贝尔蒙特的一位继承了万贯家财的美丽女郎鲍西娅求婚,而向他告贷三千块金币,而安东尼奥身边已无余钱,只有向夏洛克以他那尚未回港的商船为抵押品,借三千块金币。
夏洛克因为安东尼奥借钱给人不要利息,影响高利贷行业,又侮辱过自己,所以仇恨安东尼奥,乘签订借款契约之机设下圈套,伺机报复。
