Phew, what a relief. It seems that the Royal Shakespeare Company and Shakespeare’s Globe won’t have to change their names any time soon. The squabble so beloved by academics, conspiracy(阴谋)theorists and Hollywood fdm-makers— which only surfaced in the mid-19th century but continues to【C1】______on—over the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays, may finally be called to a halt by a new book.
In Shakespeare Beyond Doubt, leading scholars organize the arguments and evidence to prove that Shakespeare really did write Shakespeare’s plays. It puts paid to【C2】______that Shakespeare was the Earl of Oxford(as suggested by the movie Anonymous), or Christopher Marlowe or Francis Bacon, or even Queen Elizabeth I when she was having a day off from running the country. Great. That means the rest of us can just go on seeing and enjoying the astonishing plays, which may have【C3】______authorship, but which are constantly revealing in their examination of what it means to be human.
Except that it won’t. The arguments, between those who want to rewrite【C4】______history and those who don’t, will keep going, constantly fueled by any kind of conspiracy theory—the madder the better—and the fact that there is now so much money, and so many academic careers,【C5】______up in the Shakespeare industry.
There is a【C6】______in Alan Bennett’s play Kafka’s Dick when one of the characters, Sydney, admits he’d much rather " read about writers than read what they write". His wife, Lynda, is【C7】______uninterested in the poems of WH Auden, but alights on juicy tidbits(趣闻)about the poet including his preference for not wearing underpants. It sometimes seems as if the【C8】______authorship debate around Shakespeare’s plays is full of Sydneys and Lyndas—people for whom the life of the writer is infinitely more important than the works themselves.
The plays are what count and they will【C9】______the debate, no matter whose name is on the title page, whether written alone or in【C10】______, and whether someone can definitively prove whether the author was wearing underpants or not. So it should be, because the play’s the thing.

由上文的leading scholars organize the arguments and evidenceto prove that Shakespeare really did write Shakespeare’s plays可推知,该书说明了莎士比亚确实是莎士比亚戏剧的作者,由此终结了众多猜想;此外,that从句表示“认为莎士比亚是牛津伯爵(正如电影《无名氏》如此暗示过)、克里斯托弗·马洛或者弗兰西斯·培根,更有甚者,有的人认为莎士比亚是管理国家闲暇之余的伊丽莎白一世。”这些都是推测、猜想,备
