莎翁10大語(yǔ)言盤點(diǎn)雙語(yǔ)
Four centuries after William Shakespeare died in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon, England, his distinctive vernacular still lives on worldwide.
四百年前，莎士比亞在自己的故鄉(xiāng)英格蘭艾文河畔的斯特拉福德小鎮(zhèn)上去世。時(shí)至今日，莎翁筆下許多獨(dú)特的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)在全世界仍保持著旺盛的生命力。
The beloved playwright wrote at least 37 plays during his lifetime, including "Hamlet," "Othello," "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" and "Romeo and Juliet," and gave the English lexicon hundreds phrases we still use today.
