Shall we quote any more passages to show his genius or the beauty of Romeo and Juliet? At that rate, we might quote the whole.” 罗密欧和朱丽叶是两个世仇家族的继承人,二人于舞会一见钟情后,才知道对方身份,后来二人为了在一起,朱丽叶先服假毒装死,醒来发现罗密欧却因不明真相而殉情,结果也相继自尽。故事结束在阴差阳错,令人扼腕顿足。 In a society dominated by religion and bound by ties of strict family loyalty, two teenagers are trapped by their secret love. As a dangerous vendetta spills onto the streets, the young lovers are forced to risk all to be together in Shakespeare’s fast-paced tragedy of thwarted love. 威廉·莎士比亚(1564-1616)是英国文艺复兴时期伟大的戏剧家和诗人,也是欧洲文艺复兴时期人文主义文学的集大成者,近代欧洲文学的奠基人之一。他共写有37部戏剧,154首14行诗,两首长诗和其他诗歌。代表作有四大悲剧:《哈姆雷特》《奥赛罗》《李尔王》《麦克白》。四大喜剧:《第十二夜》《仲夏夜之梦》《威尼斯商人》《皆大欢喜》。历史剧:《亨利四世》《亨利六世》《理查二世》等。 他是“英国戏剧之父”,本·琼斯称他为“时代的灵魂”,被称为“人类文学奥林匹斯山上的宙斯”。 William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was a poet, playwright, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers in the history of the English language. Often referred to as the Bard of Avon, Shakespeare’s vast body of work includes comedic, tragic, and historical plays; poems; and 154 sonnets. His dramatic works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents’ rage, Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove, Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ear attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. 1234567
