莎士比亚英文版William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, Shakespeare is known for his sonnets, plays, and tragicomedies, which have been translated into numerous languages and performed across the globe.Shakespeare's works are divided into three main categories: comedies, tragedies, and histories. His comedies, such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Much Ado About Nothing," are known for their witty wordplay, mistaken identities, and happy endings. However, it is his tragedies, such as "Hamlet," "Macbeth," and "Romeo and Juliet," that have made the greatest impact on literature and theater."Hamlet" is perhaps one of Shakespeare's most well-known and influential plays. The tragedy follows the titular character as he seeks revenge for his father's murder. "To be or not to be, that is the question" is one of the play's most famous lines and has become a widely recognized phrase in the English language. The themes of revenge, madness, and mortality combined with complex characters and poetic language make "Hamlet" a masterpiece.Another tragic masterpiece by Shakespeare is "Macbeth." The play explores themes of ambition, power, and guilt as the titular character murders his way to the throne of Scotland. The famous line "Out, out, brief candle!" spoken by Lady Macbeth reflects the fleeting nature of life and the consequences of one's actions."Macbeth" is a gripping portrayal of the corrupting influence of unchecked ambition."Romeo and Juliet" is one of Shakespeare's most beloved and tragic plays. The story of two young lovers from feuding families who risk everything for their love has captured the hearts of audiences for centuries. The balcony scene, where Romeo professes his love for Juliet, is one of the most iconic moments in literature. The play explores themes of love, fate, and the destructive power of hatred.In addition to his tragedies, Shakespeare's historical plays also hold great significance. "Richard III" and "Henry V" are examples of his works that depict the lives and reigns of English monarchs. These plays provide a historical account of important events and explore themes of power, leadership, and the consequences of actions.Shakespeare's language and use of poetic devices have greatly influenced English literature. He introduced over 1,700 new words and phrases to the English language, many of which are still in use today. His ability to craft complex and memorable characters, as well as his mastery of dramatic structure, has set a standard for playwrights and storytellers.Shakespeare's works have had a lasting impact on theater and continue to be performed and studied around the world. His plays are known for their universal themes that resonate with audiences across cultures and time. Through his stories and characters, Shakespeare has explored the depths of human nature andemotions, making him a timeless and enduring figure in literature. In conclusion, Shakespeare's contributions to literature and theater cannot be overstated. His plays and sonnets have become an integral part of the English literary canon and his influence can be seen in countless works of literature, film, and music. Whether it is the tragedy of "Hamlet," the ambition of "Macbeth," or the passion of "Romeo and Juliet," Shakespeare's works continue to captivate and inspire audiences around the world.。

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)English poet, dramatist, and actor, considered by many to be the greatest dramatist of all time. Some of Shakespeare's plays, such as Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, are among the most famous literary works of the world. However, his early works did not match the artistic quality of Marlowe's dramas. Ben Jonson (1572-1637), another contemporary playwright, wrote that Shakespeare's "wit was in his own power; would the rule of it had been so too". Shakespeare possessed a large vocabulary for his day, having used 29,066 different words in his plays. Today the average English-speaking person uses something like 2,000 words in everyday speech."It may be that the essential thing with Shakespeare is his ease and authority and thay you just have to accept him as he is if you are going to be able to admire him properly, in the way you accept nature, a piece of scenery for example, just as it is." (Ludwig Wittgenstein in Culture and V alue, 1980)There is not much records of Shakespeare′s personal life. Rumors arise from time to time that he did not write his plays, but the real author was Christopher Marlowe, Queen Elizabeth or Edward De V ere (1550-1604), whom T.J. Looney identified in 1920 as the author of Shakespeare's plays. A large body of 'Oxfordians' have since built on this claim and the reluctance to believe that a man of humble origins could be such a great author. According to some numerologists, Shakespeare wrote The King James V ersion of the Bible at the age of 46. Their "evidence": Shake is the 46th word of the 46th Psalm, Spear is the 46th word from the end in the 46th Psalm.William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-A von, a small country town. Stratford was famous for its malting. The black plague killed in 1564 one out of seven of the town's 1,500 inhabitants. Shakespeare was the eldest son of Mary Arden, the daughter of a local landowner, and her husband, John Shakespeare (c. 1530-1601), a glover and wood dealer. John Aubrey (1626-1697) tells in Brief Lives that Shakespeare's father was a butcher and the young William exercised his father's trade, "but when he kill'd a Calfe he would do it in a high style, and make a speech." In 1568 John Shakespeare was made a mayor of Stratford and a justice of peace. His wool business failed in the 1570s, and in 1580 he was fined ￡40, with other 140 men, for failing to find surety to keep the peace. There is not record that his fine was paid. Later the church commissioners reported of him and eight other men that they had failed to attend church "for fear of process for debt". The family's position was restored in the 1590s by earnings of William Shakespeare, and in 1596 he was awarded a coat of arms.V ery little is known about Shakespeare early life, and his later works have inspired a number of interpretations. T.S. Eliot wrote that "I would suggest that none of the plays of Shakespeare has a "meaning," although it would be equally false to say that a play of Shakespeare is meaningless." (from Selected Essays, new edition, 1960). Shakespeare is assumed to have been educated at Stratford Grammar School, and he may have spent the years 1580-82 as a teacher for the Roman Catholic Houghton family in Lancashire. When Shakespeare was 15, a woman from a nearby village drowned in the A von. Her death was ruled accidental but it may have been a suicide. Later in Hamlet Shakespeare left open the question whether Ophelia died accidentally or by her own hand. At the age of 18, Shakespeare married a local girl, Anne Hathaway (died 1623), who was eight years older. Their first child, Susannah, was born within six months, and twins Hamnet andJudith were born in 1585. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in 1896, at the age of 11. It has often been suggested, that the lines in King John, beginning with "Grief fills the room of my absent child", reflects Shakespeare's grief.Hamlet was first printed in 1603. It is Shakespeare's largest drama, based on a lost play known as the Ur-Hamlet. Prince Hamlet, an enigmatic intellectual, mourns both his father's death and his mother's remarriage. His father's ghost appears to him and tells that Claudius, married to Queen Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, poisoned him. Hamlet, fascinated by cruelly witty games, swears revenge. "The time is out of joint; O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right!" He arranges an old play whose story has a parallel to that of Claudius. Hamlet's behavior is considered mad. He kills the eavesdropping Polonius, the court chamberlain, by thrusting his sword through a curtain. Polonius's son Laertes returns to Denmark to avenge his father's death. Polonius's daughter Ofelia loves Hamlet, but the prince's sadistically brutal behavior drives her to madness. "Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?" he tells Ophelia who dies by drowning. Before the slaughter that ends the story, Hamlet says to his friend Horatio: "I shall win at the odds. But thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart." A duel takes place and ends with the death of Gertrude, Laertes, Claudius, and Hamlet, whose final words are "the rest is silence."According to a legend, he left Stratford for London to avoid a charge of poaching. After 1582 Shakespeare probably joined as an actor one or several companies of players. By 1584 he emerged as a rising playwright in London, and became soon a central figure in London′s leading theater company, the Lord Chamberlain′s Company, renamed later as the King′s Men. He wrote many great plays for the group. In 1599 a new theater, called The Globe, was built.Shakespeare was known in his day as a very rapid writer: "His mind and hand went together," his publishers Heminges and Condell reported, "and what he thought, he uttered with that easiness that we have scarce received from him a blot in his papers." Despite all the praise, some writer's were not enthusiastic about his plays. Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) called A Midsummer Night's Dream "the most insipid, ridiculous play that I ever saw in my life." V oltaire wrote: "Shakespeare is a drunken savage with some imagination whose plays please only in London and Canada," "Shakespeare is the Corneille of London, but everywhere else he is a great fool..." Shakespeare wrote also two heroic narrative poems, V enus and Adonis (1593) and Lucrece (1594). His sonnets were written earliest by 1598 and published in 1609. The sonnets refer cryptically to several persons, among them a handsome young man, a woman called the 'Dark Lady', and a rival poet. Shakespeare's name was also on the title page of The Passionate Pilgrim (1599), issued by the publisher William Jaggard. The identity of the brunette, who appreared in Shakespeare's later poems, has been a mystery. According to one theory, she was the Countess of Pembroke. George Bernard Shaw believed she was one of Elizabeth I's ladies-in-waiting, Mary Fritton. Some have thought she was the mother of Shakespeare's supposed illegitimate son, Henry Davenant. Or she might have been Marie Mountjoy, Shakespeare's London landlady, or the black prostitute Luce Morgan, or Emilia Bassano, the daughter of a court musician and mistress of the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Hunsdon. And there is a theory that the Dark Lady was not a "she" at all, but Shakespeare's patron Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton."My only love sprung from my only hate!Too early seen unknown, and known too late!"(from Romeo and Juliet)Romeo and Juliet was based on real lovers who lived in V erona, Italy, and died for each other in the year 1303. At that time the Capulets and Montagues were among the inhabitants of the town. Shakespeare found the tale in Arthur Brooke's poem 'The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet' (1562). The play has inspired other works, such as Berlioz's dramatic symphony (1839), Tchaikovsky's fantasy-overture (1869-80), and Prokofiev's full-length ballet (1938). The Tempest, often considered Shakespeare's farewell to his theatrical art, has inspired Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, and Jean Sibelius, who wrote music for it in 1926.About 1610 Shakespeare returned to his birthplace, where he had a house, called New Place. He lived as a country gentleman, drank beer, and co-wrote with John Fletcher The Two Noble Kinsmen, first published in 1634. A number of Shakespeare's plays were published during his lifetime, but none of the original dramatic manuscripts have survived. The original Globe burned down in 1613, but was rebuilt next year. Shakespeare's later plays were also performed at the Blackfriars Theatre, which was run by a seven-man syndicate. Shakespeare was one of its members. Shakespeare's company used the Globe in the summer and the indoor Blackfrian in the winter. Under the patronage of King James I, the company also performed at court, more often than during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The dramatist John Dennis (1657-1734) claimed, that The Merry Wives of Windsor was written at her command. Macbeth, with its witches and portrayal of the legendary ancestor of the Stuart kings, Banquo, had a special appeal to James. He had also written a book about demology.Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616. His widow was legally entitled to a third of the estate. Shakespeare also bequeathed his "second-best bed" to his wife - at that time the best bed was the grand prize of a forfeited estate. Anne Hathaway died seven years after her husband. Accroding to a story, she and her daughter wished to be buried in Shakespeare's grave.In 1623 appeared a folio edition of Shakespeare's collected works - known as the First Folio. On Shakespeare's gravestone are four lines of verse. It is not certain that the Bard of A von wrote the famous epitaph: "Good friend, for Jesus′sake forbeare / To digg the dust enclosed here! / Blest be ye man that spares thes stones / And curst be he that moues my bones." However, in the text there is an onomatopoetic to his name, with "sake" in the first line, and "spares" in the third.For further reading: Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human by Harold Bloom (1999); William Shakespeare: His Life and Work by Anthony Holden (1999); William Shakespeare: A Documentary Life by S.

“艾菲！你到底在干什么？”她丈夫的声音刺破了她狂喜的心情，使她的心脏像猫一样跳动，但由于女性自我控制的奇迹，她的身体没有出现震颤。
亲爱的上帝，她想，他一定不要看到它。
它是如此美丽，他总是杀死美丽。
她无精打采地说：“我只是看着月亮。
它是绿色的。
”一定不要，一定不要看到它。
而现在，幸运的是，他不会。
因为好像脸也听到并感觉到了声音中的威胁，他的脸正从窗户的光芒移回黑暗中，但是那是缓慢的，勉强的，仍然像妖精一样。
，恳求，哄骗，诱人和令人难以置信的美丽。
“马上关上百叶窗，你这个小傻瓜，然后离开窗户！”她梦dream以求地说道：“绿色如啤酒瓶，绿色如翡翠，绿色如树叶，阳光照耀着它们，绿草如茵。
”她忍不住说了那些最后的话。
即使听不见，它们也是她的表情。
“艾菲！”她知道最后一声是什么意思。
她疲倦地转过身，关闭了繁琐的铅制内百叶窗，将沉重的螺栓赶回家。
那伤了她的手指；它总是如此，但他一定不知道这一点。
“你知道不要碰那些百叶窗！至少还要五年！”她说：``我只想看月亮，转过身来，然后一切都消失了-脸上，夜晚，月亮，魔法......而她又回到了肮脏，陈旧的小洞里，面对一个生气，陈旧的小男人。
那时，空调风扇的永恒响声和过滤掉灰尘的静电除尘器的crack啪声再次像牙医的咬牙一样达到了她的意识。
“只想看看月亮！”他用假话模仿了她。
“只想像个傻瓜一样死去，让我更加为你感到羞耻！”然后他的声音变得嘶哑而专业。
“在这里，算你自己。
”她默默地拿起他与手臂保持距离的Geiger计数器，等到它稳定下来直到比时钟慢一点的滴答声时-由于宇宙射线并且没有任何危险，然后才开始用仪器梳理自己的身体。
首先，她的头和肩膀，然后是手臂，然后是身体的下侧，尽管她的特征是灰色和下垂的，但她的动作还是有些奇怪。
直到她来到腰间时，滴答声才改变了节奏。

冬天的故事莎士比亚英文版The Story of Winter by William ShakespeareThe winter season, with its biting chill and glistening snow, has long been a source of inspiration for writers and poets. In the hands of the legendary William Shakespeare, the essence of this frosty time of year is woven into a captivating tale that delves into the depths of human emotion and the ever-changing cycles of nature.In the Shakespearean play, the story unfolds against the backdrop of a world blanketed in a pristine layer of white. The characters, each with their own unique perspectives and struggles, navigate the challenges and joys that arise during the winter months. Through their interactions and the unfolding of events, the playwright masterfully captures the essence of this season, weaving it into a tapestry of themes that resonate with audiences both in his time and ours.One of the central themes that emerges is the dichotomy between the external world and the inner landscape of the human soul. The harsh, unyielding nature of winter serves as a metaphor for the trials and tribulations that the characters face, both individually andcollectively. The biting cold and the relentless snowfall become a backdrop against which the characters' emotional journeys unfold, mirroring the turmoil and transformation that often accompany this time of year.Shakespeare's use of imagery and symbolism is particularly striking in his portrayal of winter. The snow, for instance, becomes a symbol of both purity and isolation, as it covers the land in a pristine blanket while simultaneously separating and isolating the characters from one another. The bare, skeletal trees and the dwindling daylight hours serve to heighten the sense of melancholy and introspection that permeates the narrative.Yet, amidst the bleakness of winter, Shakespeare also weaves in moments of hope and renewal. The characters, in their struggles to overcome the challenges presented by the season, often find themselves confronted with opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and the rediscovery of their humanity. The thawing of the ice and the gradual return of the sun become metaphors for the characters' own inner transformations, as they learn to navigate the complexities of their relationships and their place in the world.One of the most compelling aspects of Shakespeare's winter tale is the way in which he explores the universal human experiences that are amplified by the season. The loneliness and isolation that canaccompany the long, dark nights of winter are juxtaposed with the warmth and camaraderie that can arise from shared experiences and the desire for connection. The characters' grappling with themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning take on a heightened poignancy against the backdrop of the winter landscape.Throughout the play, Shakespeare's masterful use of language and his keen understanding of the human condition come to the fore. His characters, with their complex motivations and flawed yet relatable personalities, become vessels through which the audience can explore the universal truths that lie at the heart of the winter experience. The playwright's ability to weave together the external world of nature and the internal world of the human psyche is a testament to his unparalleled storytelling prowess.As the reader or audience member delves into Shakespeare's winter tale, they are transported into a world that is both familiar and extraordinary. The characters' struggles and triumphs, their joys and sorrows, become a mirror in which we can see reflections of our own experiences, our own hopes and fears. In this way, the story of winter becomes a universal narrative, one that speaks to the very essence of what it means to be human, to navigate the changing seasons of life.In the end, Shakespeare's winter tale stands as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the timeless themes that can beexplored through the lens of a single, yet profoundly significant, season. Through his masterful crafting of characters, setting, and language, the playwright invites us to embrace the beauty and the challenges of winter, to find solace in the cyclical nature of the natural world, and to ultimately emerge from the cold, renewed and transformed.。

About the authors1.Charles and Mary LambCharles Lamb (1775–1834) was an essayist who also wrote plays. At the suggestion of their friend, the novelist and philosopher William Godwin, Lamb and his sister Mary, who was several years older, collaborated to write Tales from Shakespeare, with the design of making the plays familiar to young readers.2. ShakespearePut students into small groups and ask them to share their experience.1) What do you know about Shakespeare?2) Have you ever seen or read any of his plays, in English or in translation?ReputationHe was widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language .His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, 2 long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare is the most quoted writer in the literature and history of the English-speaking worldLifeShakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet 下学期基本以长篇小说为主，尽管是简易读本，但篇幅相对于第一学期要厚一些and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.WorksShakespeare produced most of his known work between 1590 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. Next he wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest examples in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime, and in 1623 two of his former theatrical colleagues published the First Folio, a collected edition of his dramatic works that included all but two of the plays now recognized as Shakespeare's.InfluencesShakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the nineteenth century. The Romantics, in particular, acclaimed Shakespeare's genius, and the Victorians hero-worshipped Shakespeare with a reverence that George Bernard Shaw called "bardolatry".In the twentieth century, his work was repeatedly adopted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain highly popular today and are consistently performed and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.III.
