If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say,"Here lived a great street sweeper, who swept his job well." Martin Luther King, Jr. Readers' Digest 4/92

如果是一个街道清洁工，做打扫街道的工作就像米开朗基罗画一幅画一样，像莎士比亚写一首诗，像贝多芬作一支乐曲一般；街道清扫得那样好，以至於所有天上和地上的群体都不得不暂停而说，"有一位街道清洁工生活在这里，他清扫的工作做得如此之好"。

In England, the Elizabethan era marked the beginning of the English Renaissance with the work of writers William Shakespeare , Christopher Marlowe , Edmund Spenser , Sir Thomas More , Francis Bacon , Sir Philip Sidney , John Milton (who is known as perhaps last of the renaissance artists), as well as great artists, architects (such as Inigo Jones who introduced Italianate architecture to England), and composers such as Thomas Tallis , John Taverner , and William Byrd .

Machiavellianism is put to some examination in King Lear , arguably Shakespeare's central tragedy, which examines the sources of political and moral authority in a pre-Christian world.

Another scenario is equally familiar: we get most details of the story right, but misidentify the source. Or we remember that the quotation comes from Shakespeare, but we name the wrong play.

还有另一种情况也极其类似，我们清楚记得故事的大多数细节，但却记错了出处，或者我们记得它出自莎士比亚之笔，但却记错了剧本的名字。

Overfamiliar yet always unknown. the enigma of Hamlet is emblematic of greater enigma of Shakespeare himself: a vision that everything and nothing , a person who was everyone and no one, an art so infinite that it contains us, and will go on enclosing those likely to come after us.

我们对他再熟悉不过，可又从不了解，哈姆雷特之谜象征着莎士比亚本身这个更大的谜；他是一个幻象，包罗所有，又空无一物；他是任何一个人，同时又谁都不是；他也是一门无穷无尽的艺术，&包容&了我们，并将继续容纳我们的后人。
