All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people。
我们使用莎士比亚作品中的词汇，短语和段落，它们成为说英语的人们的共同财富。
Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, 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。
大多数时候，我们甚至都可能不知道我们引用的表达的出处，就象去看《哈姆雷特》戏剧演出的老妇人抱怨剧中全是名言名句。

Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand。
不同于任何其它作家，莎士比亚充分驾驭了巨大英语语言宝库。我们大多数人在日常交流中只使用大约5000词汇，莎士比亚在他的作品中使用了25000个。

Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day。
这样的研究非常值得，即使某些英语用法和很多词汇意义自莎士比亚时代以来已经发生了一些改变。收起
