【正确答案】:
I AGREE TO THIS COMMENT. SHAKESPEARE IS MORE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THAN CONTEMPORARY WRITINGS BECAUSE MANY OF HIS WORDS WERE USED IN DIFFERENT SENSES FROM WHAT THEY HAVE NOW IN CONTEMPORARY DAILY LIFE. TAKE HIS WELL-KNOWN PLAY HAMLET AS AN EXAMPLE. RIVAL MEANS 'PARTNER' AS IN 'THE RIVALS OF MY WATCH, BID THEM MAKE HASTE'; JUMP MEANS 'JUST' AS IN 'THUS TWICE BEFORE, AND JUMP AT THIS DEAD HOUR‘;VULGAR MEANS 'COMMON' AS IN 'AS COMMON AS ANY THE MOST VULGAR THING TO SENSE'; CENSURE MEANS 'OPINION' AS IN 'TAKE EACH MAN'S CENSURE, BUT RESERVE THY JUDGEMENT'.
【题目解析】:我同意这个评论。莎士比亚的作品比当代作品更难理解,因为他的许多词与当代日常生活中使用的不同。以他著名的戏剧《哈姆雷特》为例。“rival”的意思是“,同伴,伙伴”,就像“我的手表的竞争对手,让他们快点”一样;“jump”的意思是“恰恰”,就像以前那样”两次,恰恰在这个时刻”,“vulgar”的意思是“普通的”,“像任何最粗俗的东西一样”一样;“censure”的意思是“意见”,就像“接受每个人的意见,但保留你的判断力。”
