四、阅读理解(B篇)
If only one person deserves (值得) the name of the greatest English writer of all time, that person should be William Shakespeare. His popular sayings, like “To be or not to be, that is a question”, and his stories such as the tragedy (悲剧), Romeo and Juliet, are almost known in every corner of the world.
By 1590, William Shakespeare had become a key playwright of a popular acting company in the city. Whether comedy or tragedy, Shakespeare's plays catch people's hearts with complicated (复杂的) characters and plots (情节) that reflect (反映) truths about human nature.
His comedies make fun of human's weakness and always have a happy ending. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, fairies (小精灵) play magical tricks on people in the woods. His tragedies, however, can be very dark. Macbeth tells the story about a Scottish man who becomes the king by killing all his enemies.
Shakespeare's works also have a big influence on the English language. He is a master of words. He coined about 1,700 English words, including everyday ones like “lonely”, “hurry” and “critical”, according to New York Post.
Of course, Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today. But it doesn't affect his popularity. His plays have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than any other playwright. There are over 400 films and TV dramas adapted (改编) from his work. Shakespeare is not for an age, but for all time.
