Good afternoon, class.
同學(xué)們，下午好。
Today we are going to discuss the reasons for Shakespeare's near universal acceptance and popularity the world over.
今天我們討論莎士比亞作品的普遍接受和世界聲望的原因。
It is not that English literature is superior to the literatures of other countries or that Shakespeare was a better writer than other authors.
不是英語(yǔ)文學(xué)優(yōu)于其他國(guó)家的文學(xué)或者是莎士比亞比其他作者優(yōu)秀。
Although he was, of course, a great writer, still,
就算他是，當(dāng)然，仍然是一個(gè)偉大的作家，
I believe, it is the universality of his themes and stories which makes him great.
我相信，是他的普遍性的文章和故事使他偉大。
Almost anyone from any country at any time in history can identify with these themes.
幾乎歷史上任何國(guó)家的任何人在任何時(shí)候都能認(rèn)出這些文章。
For all people in all times experience love, hatred, jealousy greed.
因?yàn)樗腥硕紩?huì)經(jīng)歷愛(ài)情，憎恨，妒忌和貪婪。
Everyone at one time or another has questioned the meaning of existence, or wanted to take revenge on an enemy.
一個(gè)時(shí)期每個(gè)人或另一個(gè)都要問(wèn)生存的意義，或要向敵人報(bào)復(fù)。
Yes, class, it is these subjects and questions which transcend time and place that make Shakespeare not only popular, but also great.
是的，同學(xué)們，這些超過(guò)時(shí)間和空間的主題和問(wèn)題讓薩士比亞不僅僅流行，還變得偉大。
