【单选题】For anyEnglishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare.EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property ofEnglish-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, 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 writers, made full use of the great resources of theEnglish language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment ofEnglish, 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 theEnglish 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 ofEnglish usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
