4. Although Shakespeare wrote plays set in France, Scotland, Italy, Cyprus and Vienna, among many other locations, it’s entirely possible that he never left England. That may account for the most embarrassing geographical cock-up of his career: grafting a sea-coast on to land-locked Bohemia (part of the present-day Czech Republic) in The Winter’s Tale. He probably spoke French and Italian as well as Latin and Greek, though.
4.雖然莎士比亞寫的戲地點經常設置在法國、蘇格蘭、意大利、塞浦路斯和維也納，還有其他地區，實際上莎士比亞從來沒有離開過英格蘭。因為從他的劇本可以看出，他的地理知識實在是一團糟：在《冬天的故事》里會給地處內陸的波西米亞（現在的一部分屬于捷克）安一個海岸線。也許他的法語和意大利語說的和拉丁語和希臘語一樣好。
