"Such stuff as dreams are made on" nghĩa là gì?


"Such stuff as dreams are made on" = là cái khung để muôn ngàn giấc mơ dệt nên -> câu nói sau khi trừ tà của thầy phù thủy Prospero (trong vở kịch của Shakespeare), nhắc nhở con gái và con rể rằng cuộc đời ngắn ngủi lắm.

Ví dụ
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on” proclaimed (tuyên bố) Prospero in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. What prophetic words, spoken by actor Tommy Jessop on stage at The Theatre Royal Winchester in Blue Apple’s 2019 production of The Tempest.

Hence, in the case of the return of live performance? Of actor and audience (khán giả) coming together safely, breathing the same air again? Of stories told in person to those who want to be transported, transfixed and transformed? Of the literal creation of a community at each performance? Well, the words of the most famous Briton ever come to mind. I believe William Shakespeare would say it is “such stuff as dreams are made on.”

Speaking of his desire for immateriality (phi vật chất), for creating “such stuff as dreams are made on”, I recall reading a little anecdote (giai thoại) about Sehgal “cancelling Christmas” when he was a child. Was that the first expression of that impulse?

If software is such stuff as dreams are made on, how do we talk about nightmares (ác mộng)? Software is not the tangible (hữu hình), kickable stuff our senses are tuned to, so we draw on metaphor to communicate and reason about it.
