关于莎士比亚你不知道的10件事

3. Shakespeare was a co-writer.

莎士比亚是联合作家。

It was common for playwrights of Shakespeare's time to collaborate. Sometimes three or four writers would have a hand in a single play. While Shakespeare seems to have liked working alone, there are passages aplenty in the plays that were written by someone else.

在莎士比亚时代，联合写剧本很常见。有时一部剧本会是三四个作家共同创作的。虽然莎士比亚貌似喜欢独自创作，但有些剧本中的有很多篇章是其他人写的。

He worked with Thomas Middleton on Timon of Athens, and with John Fletcher on Henry VIII. As for some of the most famous parts of Macbeth - the witchy bits - it's likely they were Middleton's work too, bolted on to the play at a later date.

他和托马斯·米德尔顿共同创作了《雅典的泰门》，和约翰·弗莱彻一起写了《亨利八世》；而且《麦克白》中一些非常有名的片段——诡异的部分，很可能也出自米德尔顿之手，是后来嫁接到戏剧中的。

4. You speak Shakespeare.

你讲的都是“莎士比亚词”。

In spite of his reputation among literature-averse students for flowery language, Shakespeare directly created a great deal of the English we use today. Not only is he recorded as the first user of more words than any other writer, he also made words up: we owe him eyeball, bloodstained, radiance, assassination and lackluster, to name but a few.
