A man in Shakespeare's play MacbethMacbeth是莎士比亞劇作《馬克白》裡的一個男人。 Three witches tell him he will be king三個女巫告訴他，他將來會當上國王。 He believes them and murders King Duncan, who is a guest in his castle他相信了她們，於是謀殺了在他城堡裡作客的鄧肯王。 He feels the guilt, but he kills more people to keep the crown他心裡有罪惡感，但為了保住王位，他又殺了更多人， until Macduff kills him直到馬克德夫殺了他。

Lady Macbeth, his wife, pushes him and then breaks under the same crime. The play is about power, blood, and a couple talking each other into worse and worse acts.

Lady Macbeth, his wife, pushes him and then breaks under the same crime馬克白夫人是他的妻子，一路推著他往前走，後來也在同樣的罪行下崩潰。 The play is about power, blood, and a couple talking each other into worse and worse acts整齣戲講的是權力、鮮血，還有一對夫妻互相說服對方做出越來越糟的事。

Though actually, there was a real Scottish king called Macbeth, but Shakespeare’s story is not a careful history lesson. In the theatre, many English-speaking actors will not say the name Macbeth inside the building — they think it brings bad luck — and they call the play “the Scottish Play” instead. That is a backstage habit, not a rule for the classroom.

Though actually不過實際上， there was a real Scottish king called Macbeth歷史上真的有一位叫馬克白的蘇格蘭國王， but Shakespeare's story is not a careful history lesson但莎士比亞的故事並不是一堂嚴謹的歷史課。 In the theatre, many English-speaking actors will not say the name Macbeth inside the building在劇場裡，許多英語系的演員不會在劇院裡講出Macbeth這個名字—— they think it brings bad luck他們認為這樣會帶來厄運—— and they call the play “the Scottish Play” instead而是改叫這齣戲『the Scottish Play(蘇格蘭那齣戲)』。 That is a backstage habit, not a rule for the classroom那是後台的一種習俗，不是教室裡要遵守的規則。
