人們普遍認(rèn)為，威廉?莎士比亞是最偉大的英語(yǔ)作家和世 界杰出的戲劇家。他的劇本被譯成多種語(yǔ)言，并且比其他 任何劇作家的作品都上演得多。莎士比亞的早期作品大多 是喜劇和歷史劇。即使在今天，這些作品仍是同類作品中 的杰作，享有絕佳聲望。后來(lái)莎士比亞的創(chuàng)作主要是悲劇， 其中一些作品，如《哈姆雷特》和《李爾王》，為其在整 個(gè)西方文學(xué)界贏得了聲譽(yù)。莎士比亞最顯著的特點(diǎn)是其精 彩的語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用及具有普遍意義的主題。他創(chuàng)造了數(shù)千個(gè)英 語(yǔ)詞匯，其中許多己經(jīng)深植于英語(yǔ)中。他的作品主題具有 普遍意義，所以能夠數(shù)代流傳，激發(fā)世界各地讀者和觀眾 的想象力。數(shù)世紀(jì)以來(lái)，莎士比亞影響和激勵(lì)了許多作家。 其作品至今依舊廣受歡迎，在世界各地的文化中被不斷地 研究、上演和詮釋。莎士比亞將繼續(xù)對(duì)未來(lái)的劇作家、小 說(shuō)家、詩(shī)人、演員和學(xué)者產(chǎn)生巨大影響。

Text AiTranslation： Task 2

The four great classic Chinese novels are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Outlaws of the Marsh, Journey to the West and A Dream of Red Mansions. All the four novels were written during the period from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties to the Qing Dynasty. They all reflect various aspects of ancient China, including political and military strife, social conflicts and cultural beliefs. The four novels are of supreme artistic standards, representing the peak of China's classic novels. Lots of the characters and scenes in the books are well-known in China and have exerted profound influences on the ideology and values of the entire nation. Highly valuable for the research of China's ancient customs, feudal system, and social life, the four classic novels are precious cultural relics of China as well as the human society as a whole.
