"Wear my heart upon my sleeve"

直抒胸臆

"For when my outward action doth demonstrate

The native act and figure of my heart

In compliment extern, 'tis not long after

But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For daws to peck at: I am not what I am."

“要是我的表面的行动，

果然出于内心的自然流露，

那么不久我就要掬出我的心来，

让乌鸦们乱啄了。世人所知道的我，并不是实在的我。” （朱生豪译）

莎士比亚用法：

Devious¹ Iago basically says that if his outward appearance reflected what he was thinking, then his heart would be on his sleeve for birds to peck at — which is not a good idea in his eyes. And so he adds that he is actually not what he appears to be.

邪恶的伊阿古要说的是，如果他的外表反映了他的思想，那他的心就要让乌鸦们乱啄了。在他看来，这不是一个好主意。所以他又说，他的外表并不能反应真实的他。

Notably², Iago's motives³ for his antagonistic⁴ behavior are never fully revealed — so it is interesting that he is the character who has immortalized this phrase.

伊阿古这一行为背后的动机从来没有被揭晓，有趣的是，也是他让这个短语流传千古。

现代用法：

To show one's feelings openly.

公开表达某人的感受。
