一代文豪莎士比亚今年诞辰450周年。我们一起来看看关于他的那些不为人知的事情……
1. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations , Shakespeare wrote close to a tenth of the most quoted lines ever written or spoken in English.
2. Shakespeare has been credited by the Oxford English Dictionary with introducing almost 3,000 words to the English language.
3. William Shakespeare would have been considered a very controversial figure when he married a much older woman who was pregnant with their child.
Anne Hathaway (not the actress) was 26 years old when William married her at the age of 18. She duly gave birth to Susannah six months after the wedding.
4. Shakespeare never published his plays.
They are known today only because two of his fellow actors—John Hemminges and Henry Condell—recorded and published 36 of them posthumously under the name The First Folio , which is the source of all Shakespeare books published.
5. Copyright didn’t exist in Shakespeare’s time, so there was a thriving trade in copied plays.
To help counter this, actors got their lines only once the play was in progress, often in the form of cue acting where someone backstage whispered them to the person shortly before he was supposed to deliver them.
6. Aside from writing 37 plays and composing 154 sonnets, Shakespeare was also an established actor.
