"If music be the food of love" nghĩa là gì?


"If music be the food of love" = nếu như âm nhạc là thức ăn của tình yêu -> câu nói của Orsino trong vở kịch của Shakespeare, ông muốn có thêm âm nhạc vì đã nản trong việc tán tỉnh Nữ bá tước Olivia; ông ta cho rằng càng nhiều tiếng nhạc sẽ càng giúp ông thoát khỏi nỗi ám ảnh về tình yêu, cũng như khi ăn quá nhiều sẽ không thèm đồ ăn nữa.

Ví dụ
My high school yearbook (kỉ yếu) had a literary (văn chương) quote under each student’s photo. Along with many signers of my copy, who referenced my drumming, was this opening line from Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”: “If music be the food of love, play on!”

As Shakespeare said, “If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it.” Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium came to life as musicians took to the stage to entertain (giải trí) thousands of people who had converged (quy tụ) to celebrate this year’s Madaraka Day.

A new audio play with original music and immersive (nhập vai) 360° sound. Taking inspiration from the immortal (bất tử) line “If music be the food of love play on!,” Artistic Director Barbara Gaines reimagines Shakespeare’s lyrical romance with all-new songs from composer Joriah Kwamé

Since love’s labours (lao động) are lost on heartless goons, I too am going to upend the Bard, and reverse Duke Orsino’s command: ‘If music be the food of love, play on.’ Here’s my play on the words of memorable love songs using food imagery. Voluntary disclosure: In keeping with that Twelfth Night quote, I might ‘give (you) surfeit of it’ and your ‘appetite may sicken and so die’.
