For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist (剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him:that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English–speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well–known proverbs and quotations.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writher, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty–five thousand.
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
What does the word “proverb” mean?
选项
A、Familiar sayings.
B、Shakespeare’s plays.
C、Complaints.
D、Actors and actresses.
答案
A
解析
词语释义题。“proverb”一词出现在原文第一段最后一句话,根据上下文,“proverb”连普通老妇人都知道,并且很出名,那么只有选项A正确;“proverb”的意思是格言。
