莎士比亚

If it were, we should have to consider every navvy superior to Shakespeare.

否则，我们就得说随便一个不熟练工人都比莎士比亚高明。

In literature , the Romantic period is often taken to start in 1770s to 1780s Germany with the movement known as Stum and Drang("storm and stress") attended by a greater regard for Shakespeare and Homer, and for folk sagas, whether genuine or Ossian.

通常认为浪漫主义文学时期伴随着德国的狂飙运动始于1770年代或者1780年代，狂飙运动受到了比莎士比亚、荷马以及民间长篇英雄小说更伟大的尊重--不管是genuine还是欧希安(传说中三世纪爱尔兰及苏格兰高地的英雄诗人)。

Nothing could be more racy , straightforward, and alive than the prose of Shakespeare.

没有比莎士比亚的散文更有趣、更明快、更生动活泼的了。

Representation some time before they were published as things to be read; and they were published in this scenical mode of publication with much more effect than they could have had as books during ages of costly copying or of costly printing.

此外还有戏剧，如英国莎士比亚最优秀的剧作，以及雅典戏剧艺术鼎盛时期的全部主流剧作，都曾作为文学作品对公众产生过影响。这些作品在作为读物出版之前，已通过观看其演出的观众而"出版"了（这正是"出版"一词最严格的意义）。在抄写或印刷都非常昂贵的年代，通过舞台形式"出版"这些剧作远比将它们出版成书效果更佳。

The Drama again—as, for instance, the finest of Shakespeare's plays in England, and all leading Athenian plays in the noontide of the Attic stage—operated as a literature on the public mind, and were (according to the strictest letter of that term) published through the audiences that witnessed their representation some time before they were published as things to be read; and they were published in this scenical mode of publication with much more effect than they could have had as books during ages of costly copying or of costly printing.

另如剧作品，最好的英国莎士比亚剧作，所有主要的在雅舞台上上演过的雅典剧作，在大众看来，都是一种文学，并且，它们都在大众面前公演过，有时，人们在这些作品出版前就目睹了基于这些作品的演出。在当时那个复印、印刷费昂贵的年代里，以舞台形式呈现的作品往往能比它们以书的形式出版取得更大效应。

I've read that in one New York Times newspaper there is more information to digest than one would have had to process in a whole lifetime of the Shakespearean era.

我一看，纽约时报有更多的信息比任何人都已经消化在整个过程中对莎士比亚时代的一生。

Shakespeare, perhaps more than any other writer, made full use of the greatest source of the English language.

莎士比亚，也许比其他任何一位作家更充分的利用了英语伟大的资源。

So said Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and, as a long-term sporter of a full chin's worth of facial fluff (and occasional wearer of a highly dubious "mo" for for charity), I can but agree.

莎士比亚的名著《无事生非》里的比阿特丽斯曾经说过，作为一个长期做包括整个下巴在内的脸部美容的使用者，我也只能同意了。

For foreigners or Englishmen, there's no way much better than learing the ways of Shakespear 's usage of English in the appreciation of the wonderfulness of English

对于外国人或英国人来说，要欣赏英语的丰富多彩，可能没有比学习莎士比亚使用英语的各种方法更好的方法。

For the foreigners and the british, there is no better way of appreciating the richness and colorfulness of english than to learn the different ways in which shakespeare used english

对于外国人或英国人来说，要欣赏英语的丰富多彩，可能没有比学习莎士比亚使用英语的各种方法更好的方法。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
