1.It began its career just under two thousand years ago as a form of ancient German, collided with a special kind of old French, was subjected to several waves of Latin and a flood of Greek, and since then has acquired bits and pieces of every other language that its users have ever been in contact with.

2. They are, however, legitimate extensions of that core meaning, the second being especially interesting because it is a verb and not a noun, and suggests that we expect adult male human beings to serve as crews of ships, not women and certainly not children.

UNIT 15

How would he feel to see his plays in lavish production worldwide, on

every bookshelf, included in every school curriculum, if he could see the tourists flocking to his home town, students discussing him on the bus, passers-by quoting him, cinema-goers queuing to see Shakespeare on film, and everywhere his works revered like a second Bible?

看到自己的剧本在世界各地被大量印制，被摆放在每一个书架上，被收入在每个学校的课程中，他会有何感想？如果他看到游客成群地前往他的家乡，学生在公交车上谈论他，路人引用他，电影观众排队看他的作品搬上荧幕，他的作品在任何地方都如同又一部圣经般受到推崇，他会有何感想？

2. Shakespeare was writing — at speed and in cut-throat competition with a wealth of other good playwrights —for a very demanding audience.

当时，莎士比亚为要求非常苛刻的观众写作——不仅要速度快，而且要和一大批其他优秀的剧作家进行残酷的竞争。

3. If the “groundlings” in the Globe Theatre, who had paid a farthing to stand and watch, were not enjoying themselves, they would mill about, heckle and throw apple cores. If the gentry grew bored, they would leave. His actors were all men, his plots were all borrowed from other authors, his props and scenery were rudimentary.

如果环球剧院的后座站票观众——那些花1/4便士站着观看的人觉得戏不好看，他们就会漫无目的地乱窜、闹场起哄、扔苹果核。如果

贵族们感到厌倦了，他们就会离开。他的演员都是男子，他的故事情节都借用自其他作者，他的道具和布景也尚未发展成熟。

4. His sets were even cluttered up with rich members of the audience who could pay to sit on the stage. There were fashions and conventions to be followed —“mad” scenes were the rage just then — and the latest hit song never went amiss if it could be worked into the action. This week’s writing was in next week’s repertory.

他的布景中甚至还混杂着那些花钱坐在舞台上看戏的有钱的观众。他的戏剧还需要追随时尚，遵循惯例——“发疯的”场景在当时很流行——最新的流行歌曲如果可以掺和进情节中则是再合适不过了。这周写出的剧本就是下周的演出剧目。

5. And yet the plays Shakespeare shaped out of these meagre makings were so remarkable, so complete, and of such universal appeal that over four hundred years later the whole world is still enthralled.

然而莎士比亚从如此贫乏的素材中提炼成形的剧本是如此出色，如此完整，如此具有普遍的吸引力，以至于四百年后整个世界依然为之着迷。

6. Shakespeare was a man without arrogance or pretensions, a man always glancing over his shoulder at the tide of death rolling in to submerge him. So his greatest pleasure, if he could pay us a visit, would probably not come from glossy fame and adulation. It would come from seeing how, in the end, he tricked death —bought

immortality with his extraordinary wealth of words.

莎士比亚是个既不傲慢也不自负的人，他总是回头看到死亡的潮水滚滚而来要将他湮没。因此，如果他能来拜访我们，他最大的快乐可能不是来自虚有其表的名声和奉承，而是源于他看到他最终挫败了死亡——他因大量非凡的文字而获得了不朽。
