影像和声音设备的发展

电视的早期历史

无线电视传输节目于1925年在美国首次公开播出。随后在1928年,英美两国之间第一次实现了远距离电视播送。之后不久便开始定期向公众播放,在纽约的开播时间是1928年5月11日,在伦敦的开播时间是1929年8月20日。

很多不同的人对电视的发展做出了贡献。早期电视大多使用有英国人约翰洛吉贝尔德开发的系统。然而,他的系统非常原始,有许多缺点。20世纪20年代末和30年代初,美国人斐洛法恩斯沃斯在电视的研发上取得了重大突破。现代电视机使用了许多由法恩斯沃斯首先发现的原理。

约翰洛吉贝尔德于1928年制造出第一台彩色电视机,但直到1938年第一个彩色电视节目才播出。彩色电视节目到1951年才得以在美国定期播出,其间经历了二十多年的时间。在英国,定期的彩色电视节目的播出一直延迟至1967年。然而,在短时间内,几乎所有的电视节目都被制作成了彩色的,不出五年,彩色电视机的使用率就超过了黑白电视机。

当代:卫星电视

卫星用于播送电视节目始于1962年。卫星让远距离直播电视节目成为可能,大家在同一时间可以收到相同的电视节目。它们也使远离城市的人们可以收看电视,在农村和边远地区经常可以看到卫星天线。当然,只有一小部分人拥有自己的卫星天线。然而,大多数人仍然受益于卫星电视,因为当地的电视公司把从卫星接收器接收到的信号传送给附近的居民。

录音机的早期历史

一切始于1877年,这一年托马斯爱迪生用他发明的留声机第一次录制了人的声音。早期的录音机是使用圆管记录声音的。然而,在1887年,一位侨居美国的德国人埃米尔贝利纳发明了使用唱片来代替圆管的留声机,这样现代录音机就诞生了。最早的留声机必须手摇上发条,而且只能播放两分钟长的录音。时代确实已经改变!

录音机和录像机

1928年,第一批磁带录音机在德国制造出来。大多数最早的录音机用钢质磁带或者纸质磁带录音。钢质磁带很沉,使用起来困难;纸质磁带用起来虽方便,但常常破损。直到20世纪50年代初,大多数录音机才开始使用塑料磁带,就跟现在一样。同时,电器元件最终变得很小,到60年代后期,便携式录音机被研制出来,电视台使用的录像机也随之出现。到了20世纪70年代末,足够小巧而价廉的家用录像机被采用。

声音和视频数字化

1982年,最早的CD光盘出现了。它们通常用来存储和播放音乐,其音质远远胜过任何传统的唱片和卡带录音机。1993年VCD诞生,1995年DVD问世。目前,DVD是标准的视频录制和回放设备。

未来展望

随着数字技术的发展,声音和视频现在可以储存在个人电脑上、互联网上,或使用某种形式的便携式储存设备储存。这将很快使唱片、卡带录音机、CD、DVD甚至电视成为过去。技术变革快得大多数人难以跟上。谁能预见未来会带来什么呢?

The telephone is very convenient for 1.______________(communicate) ,and most people in the world today cannot live 2._______it.However ,maybe the Amish have a valid point.Which is more of a friend,someone you often talk to over the phone 3.___ someone you often talk to face to face ?And if you need help, who can help you better,someone far away or someone in the room with you?

打电话还是不打?

在美国,阿曼门诺派(一个基督教团体)很有名,因为这个教派的教徒不开汽车而使用非机动车,不用电视和冰箱,也没有私人电话。许多人认为阿曼门诺派有这么多规矩,肯定是因为宗教原因,但事实并非如此。实际上,每当出现一项新技术,阿曼门诺派教徒便开会讨论其优点和缺点。然后,他们投票决定是否要接受它。阿曼门诺派教徒拒绝汽车,因为他们喜欢享有关系紧密的社区,在这里大家一起住得很近。他们没有电视机和电冰箱,因为他们的家没有电——他们认为电力并非必需,而且他们不喜欢与陌生人打交道,例如那些在电力公司工作的人。

由于阿曼门诺派教徒重视彼此面对面地交往,他们反对在住宅里装电话。然而在每个社区常常有一个小亭子,里面有一部紧急电话。

电话非常便于沟通,当今世界上大多数人的生活都离不开它。然而,也许阿曼门诺派教徒有个合理的观点。哪一个更像是朋友呢:是你在电话中经常交谈的某个人,还是你经常面对面地交谈的某个人?还有,如果你需要帮助,谁能更好地帮助你呢:是远方的某个人,还是与你同处一室的某个人?在一起并分享生活,其中蕴藏着某种重要的东西,而这种东西是无法通过电话线获得的。

电话还有其他缺点。例如,无论在什么情况下,当电话铃声响起时,为了能接电话,一切都要停下来。你们一家人可能正在一起吃晚饭或聊天,这却会被电话打断。然而,大多数电话不是真的那么重要。它们当然不会比与家人在一起共度时光更重要。还有,当你专注地看一本书或者只想休息时,电话似乎总是响个不停,打破了你本来可以享有的一切安宁。可打电话的人常常只是一名推销员或拨错了号码的某个人。

有了移动电话,这样的问题就更多了。有多少次你正在与一位朋友交谈,可是仅仅为了接一个电话,你的朋友就中断了交谈呢?由于某种原因,一个平常的手机来电几乎总是被赋予比面对面交谈更多的重要性。不过,话又说回来,大部分的手机来电只涉及相当微不足道的事情。当事后被问及来电是有关什么事时,你的朋友总是回答说:“噢,其实也没什么事。”如果来电真的是“没什么事”,那么它为什么如此重要以至于打断你们的交谈,并浪费你们的宝贵时间呢?

当然,用手机发短信是最糟的事。在一项调查中,女孩平均每天发80条短信,男孩平均发30条。人们在短信中谈论什么呢?尽管这些短信在当时总是看似重要,但第二天大多数人并不能真的记得它们。电话和短信意在与许多人建立感情关系。然而,这样建立起来的交情常常是相当浅的。许多青少年说,虽然他们有很多朋友,但事实上他们却没有最好的朋友。之所以会这样,一个原因就是通信技术的应用代替了面对面的交谈。同时,真正的关系往往被牺牲了,而且,每当电话铃声响起时,个人所拥有的任何宁静都会被打破。

总的说来,阿曼门诺派教徒的心理健康程度高于大多数人。他们过着非常平静而稳定的生活,因为他们看重社区和宁静生活,并视其高于其他的一切,特别是新技术。也许他们是对的。也许我们应该把所有的电话连同小汽车和电视机一起扔进垃圾箱。也许我们应该使我们自己摆脱现代技术,回到更为简单的时代。

那是什么?……对不起,我得走了。我的电话响了……

如何学习《英美文学选读》

要通过《英美文学选读》这门课考试,不是考前“冲刺”一类的短训能奏效的。这门课难就难在它的阅读量很大,它包括英国和美国的诸多作家的诸多作品,而每一部作品就是一部书。现行统一教材在作家和作品的选取方面尽管已经是精而又精了,但还是不得不采用节选的办法来压缩篇幅。即便如此,为了更好地理解作品,考生还不得不在对整部作品了解的基础上,在教师指导下反复阅读节选,才能对节选部分的内容以及思想有较好的理解。不过文学阅读也有规律可循。下面的文字就“选读”课的性质、阅读时读取什么信息、现行试题各个部分的考查点是什么、如何回答简单论述题等问题,给考生一点提示,希望能对考生学习、复习《英美文学选读》课提供一些帮助。 第一部分《英美文学选读》课的性质 一、《英美文学选读》课的重点是作品顾名思义,“英美文学选读”是有选择地阅读英美文学史上有影响作家的重要作品,熟知作品内容,了解大多数批评家和读者已经接受的对这些作品主题的表述,并能从作品中找到、列举出证明这些表述的细节。这样的定义里有三个要注意的问题。一是作品内容,二是作品里的细节,三是节作品主题。三个同等重要,学习者不能只取其一。以小说为例,所谓作品内容,是指情节(plot)、场景(setting)、人物(characters)、语气(tone)、以及语言(style)。情节是指故事里所展示的事件和这些事件按作家意愿有序的安排,如事件发生的背景、事件中涉及的人物、事件本身(即冲突)、以及解决冲突的办法和结果。情节就是故事;没有情节就没有故事;熟知情节是理解文学作品,特别是小说和戏剧的第一、也是不可缺少的一步。不掌握故事情节,对作品进行深入分析就无从谈起。有故事当然就有人,对人物的分析是对作品分析的核心。语气是指作者在他/她刻画人物、安排情节、描写场景时所持的态度,而作者的态度直接影响我们对作品思想的理解。作者要表达自己对人物、事件的态度,只有通过文字才能与读者交流,而不同的作家使用语言的风格(style)是不一样的。如果掌握了以上内容,就掌握了细节,之所以把细节单列出来,是因为多数考生只记得大概情节,考试中不能用具体的细节进行人物或思想分析、评述,空话太多。劳伦斯小说《儿子与情人》(Sons and Lovers)里,成年的保罗是如何仍然生活在他母亲的掌控之下的细节,是分析这部作品里的人物和主题的关键,不能引用相关细节作为根据,分析就失去了基础。阅读文学作品一定要在一般性的了解情节的基础上,尽量记一些细节,细节显示考生对作品的熟悉程度。主题是对作品思想的高度概括。教材里作家作品概述和作品简介(斜体部分),对作品主题已有简明准确的表述,考生不可不读。对这些表述的理解,又是以考生对作品内容、细节的掌握为基础的。作品内容、细节、主题是考生学习的重点。 两点说明: (一)这里我们姑且不讨论新批评对作者和作品关系的观点,也不去讨论接受美学和读者反映理论,本科阶段没有开设文学批评理论课,没有必要进行那样的讨论,教师也不要引入类似的话题,以免造成不必要的困惑。 (二)从历年考题来看,作家的生卒年月、家庭背景、接受教育情况、作品发表年代等都不在考察范围,考生不必在这些方面浪费时间。目前市场上有一些英美文学教材和辅导材料在作家生平上花费了相当的篇幅,有的甚至远远超过了对文学作品本身的介绍和分析,这类书籍对考生复习没有多大帮助。教育部组织专家编写的现行教材尽管可以再修改、完善,但它的最大好处是它给考生提供了学生最需要的作品概要和精确而恰当的分析(教材里作品前的斜体部分),对考生从作品全貌理解文学作品很有帮助。 二、文学作品与文学史的关系关于文学作品和文学史哪个在先、以及哪个更重要的问题,我们还是留给专门的学者去争论,我们要搞清楚的是考生学习过程中应该以哪一个为重点的问题。前面讲选读课的性质时已经讲过,《英美文学选读》课的重点是作品,以往考试所包括的内容也充分说明了这一点,似乎没有争论的必要。但我们不得不考虑另一个无法回避的问题:如何对待教材中每个文学阶段前对该时期影响文学作品的经济、文化、社会、思想思

美文学这门科目庞大之极,堪称英本自考之最。自己一个人看那么厚的一本书,不用说能不能看下来,能记住多少实在不好说! 我在复习的时候,总结了一些规律,与大家分享,望对你有用,帮你顺利通过! 1.题型分析: 一般来讲,肯定是这种类型:a.单项选择题(40道,40分) b.引文简析(无非就是问问作者是谁,出自哪个作品,主题意象什么的,4道,16分)c.简答题(4道,24分)d.论述题(无非就是分析加读后感,20分) 经验:你应该可以看出来了,重点当然是单选了,分数大,又好得分,实在不行还可以蒙。建议尽可能把书看一遍,但不要看作者生平,那肯定不会考。有个印象就可以了,不用去背,如果你汉语文学功底好,可以省去不少时间。 2.比例分析 据本人统计,历年来英美文学的国考试卷中英国文学占52%,美国文学占48%。(2003年4月例外,其中英国部分58%)其中,可以看出 单选题:前22题肯定为英国部分,其余为美国部分。 大题部分:基本上是一人一半,各占50% 经验:书上共652页,英国411页,美国241页。英国作家共38位,美国15位。其中,美国部分中,诗歌作品也比较少,比较好确认。结论:死学美国,顺带英国。 3.内容分析 历年命题的趋势逐渐由课文内容向选读作品转移,选读的比重越来越大。 经验:课文内容作到大体了解,但要特别重视作家艺术特色。选读部分加大力度,多注意书上的注释及选文大意和某些细节,尽量作到能用英语复述。实在不行,也至少作到能用汉语复述。 4.真题解析及预测 自学考试的一大特点就是重复率高,所以历年试题是必惫的复习材料,不可缺少。有人说:“一套真题等于3套模拟题!”这话绝对没错。所以要花大力气在上面。记得我考那回就有一道10分大题和前一年的一模一样。 注:马克吐温的《哈克贝里费恩历险记》的分析在2000~2002年中,连续考了三次。 经验:注意历年真题,尤其是去年的。去年的10分大题大致如下: a.《傲慢与偏见》中的三种婚姻 b.《白鲸》选文作品复述几分析象征意义。 ================================================ 4月14日]投机取巧教你过英美文学[压题篇] 本文是投机取巧过英美文学的最后一篇,收录北京市2004年4月10日英美文学考试的试题(除选择题外),是我在北京自考论坛处网友处所得,特此对提供帮助的朋友表示感谢。 二、1、Thomas Gray:Elegy in the Country Churchyard的第一段 2、Yeats的Down by the sallen garden,考的是他俩站在河边,那个女孩*在他肩头,他觉得自己年轻懵懂,而且泪流满面。 3、Emyly Bronte的Whuthering Heights里面Hethcliff在他lover临死之前的那段表现,还问了narrator 是谁 4、Emlily Dikinson的I Heard a Fly Buzz--When I died,问那个blue Buzz是什么意思

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家,被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物,人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述,尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法,即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系,未曾设立什么学派,也未曾创立什么宗派,但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analectshas had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society.

Unit2 圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日,全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地,这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日,越来越多的非基督徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今,圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞接风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说,这个节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据传说,圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家,给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动,圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重大活动和主要销售季。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival.

自考英美文学选读 第一章 文艺复兴时期(英国)(课文翻译)

英美文学选读翻译(英语专业自考) 第一部分:英国文学 第一章文艺复兴时期 文艺复兴标志着一个过渡时期,即中世纪的结束和现代社会的开始。一般来说,文艺复兴时期是从十四世纪到十七世纪中叶。它从意大利兴起,伴随着绘画、雕塑和文学领域的百花齐放,而后文艺复兴浪潮席卷了整个欧洲。文艺复兴,顾名思义即重生、复苏,是由一系列历史事件激发推动的,其中包括对古希腊罗马文化的重新发现。地理天文领域的新发现,宗教改革及经济发展。因此,文艺复兴从本质上是欧洲人文主义者竭力摒弃中世纪欧洲的封建主义,推行代表新兴城市资产阶级利益的新思想,并恢复早期宗教的纯洁性,远离腐败的罗马天主教廷的一场运动。 文艺复兴浪潮影响到英国的速度比较慢,不仅因为英国远离欧洲大陆,而且还因为其国内的动荡不安。乔叟去世后的一个半世纪是英国历史上最动荡不安的时期。好战的贵族篡取了王位,使英国走上自我毁灭之路。著名的玫瑰之战就是极好的例子。后来理查三世的恐怖统治标志着内战的结束,在都铎王朝的统治下英国的民族情感又成长起来。然而直到亨利八世统治期间(1509-1547),文艺复兴的春风才吹入英国。在亨利八世的鼓励下,牛津的改革派学者和人文主义者们将古典文学引入英国。基于古典文学作品及《圣经》的教育重获生机,而十五世纪就被广泛传阅的文学作品则更加流行了。自此,英国的文艺复兴开始了。英国,尤其是英国文学进入了黄金时代。这个时期涌现出莎士比亚、斯宾塞、约翰逊、锡德尼、马洛、培根及邓恩等一大批文学巨匠。但英国的文艺复兴并未使新文学与旧时代彻底决裂,带有十四、十五世纪特点的创作态度与情感依然贯穿在人文主义与改革时代。 人文主义是文艺复兴的核心。它源于努力恢复中世纪产生的对古希腊罗马文化的尊崇。人文主义作为文艺复兴的起源是因为古希腊罗马文明的基础是以"人"为中心,人是万物之灵。通过这些对古代文化崭新的研究,人文主义者不仅看到了光彩夺目的艺术启明星,还在那古典作品中寻求到了人的价值。在中世纪的社会中,个人完全隶属于封建统治,没有独立和自由可言;在中世纪的神学理论中,人与周围世界的关系仅仅是人消极适应或消极遁世,不允许追求快乐,以备死后灵魂得以超脱。然而人文主义者们却从古代文化遗产中找到了充足的论据,来赞美人性,并开始注意到人类是光荣的生命,人自己可以不断发展,至善至美,而且人们生存的世界是属于他们的,供他们怀疑、探索以及享受。由此,人文主义者通过强调人类的尊严、强调今生今世的重要性,喊出了他们的信仰,即人类不仅有权利在今生今世美好生活,而且还有能力完善自我,创造奇迹。人文主义遍布英国思想领域的。标志是荷兰学者伊拉斯谟先后到牛津大学与剑桥大学讲授古典文化研究。托马斯·漠尔、克利斯朵夫·马洛和威廉·莎士比亚是英国人文主义的代表。

南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译(1~10) 第一单元 你去过古玩店吗?如果你能像买家那样博学,你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。 幸运的发现 古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘,把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里,那里往往令人望而却步。而对不太装腔作势的古玩店,无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉,阴暗,杂乱无章,迷宫般的店堂里,从杂乱地摆放在地面上的,一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。 无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心,而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。要做到这一点,他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望,即终有一天,他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。 我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午,弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿,结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了,弗兰克正准备离去,突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久,但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗兰克恳求,古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外,货箱内装满了陶器,而且大部分都已破碎。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子,突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画,画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画,于是他决定将画买下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画,告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情,因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作,价值几十万英镑。 第二单元 无论是男人、女人还是儿童,都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。 时装流行的原理 时尚一直在变化和发展。时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。这些时尚原理保持不变。尽管时尚在变,但是这些原理却不变。他们是识别和预测时尚流行趋势的坚实基础。时尚流行的基本原理包括以下几条: 1.时尚的流行一般采取渐进的方式,很少采取突变的方式。时尚通常从一种风格逐渐地向另一种风格进化,是进化式的,而不是快速地变化。这一点经常可以从女裙长度的变化中得到体现。在一个季节中人们不希望裙子的长度有较大的变化。一般裙长要在几个季节甚至几年时间里缓慢地增加或减少。在20世纪50年代后期以及以后的10年里,裙子的长度开始以每年约1英寸的速度缩短,直至变成20世纪60年代后期的超短式样。在整个70年代,裙子的长度又逐渐增加。 2.消费者创造时尚。是消费者通过接受一种款式而抛弃另一种款式来决定流行的时尚,而不是设计师或制造商。尽管设计师、制造商、销售商可以促进或减缓新时尚的流行,但最终对时尚的接受与否还要取决于消费者。 3.价格不会影响时尚的流行。时尚的流行与否并不取决于价格。尽管一个新款式推出的价格会很高,但很快会有各种价格变化。一件向设计师定做的服装售价可能会高达几千美元,但是一旦此款式被仿制并以成衣批量生产,就会出现不同的价格以适合不同层次消费者的要

威廉-莎士比亚 威廉-莎士比亚(1564-1616)是世界有史以来最著名的作剧家和诗人之一。凭着38部作品,154首十四行诗和2首长诗,他建立了他在世界文学史中的赫赫威名。他也被全世界各式各样的学者和评论家给予了最高的赞誉。在过去4百年间,关于莎士比亚的书籍和文章还不断大量出版。 莎士比亚可能出生于1564年4月23日埃文河畔斯特拉特福城的一户商人家庭。他的父亲的职业被传为是卖手套的、羊毛商人、农夫或者是屠夫,是一个镇上有点地位的人,并多次当选为镇委员会的成员。莎士比亚在哪个美丽的贸易小镇度过了他的童年并上了斯特拉特福语文小学。他真正的老师是大自然和周围的百姓。1587年,莎士比亚娶了大他几岁的安妮-哈撒韦为妻。妻子为他生了3个孩子,苏珊娜和双胞胎朱迪斯和哈姆尼特。也许由于要养活不断壮大的家庭,莎士比亚在1586或1587年离开斯特拉特福去了伦敦。 莎士比亚去了伦敦一处为戏剧发展提供了优越环境的地方。他既当演员又做作剧家,为张伯伦家族做事,张伯伦家族后来又成为了王族。莎士比亚的事业发展得如此的好以致被誉为‘大学才子’之一的罗伯特-格林气极败坏地地称呼他是只‘向上扑腾的乌鸦’。 大约从1591到1611年间,莎士比亚到达了他戏剧生涯的顶峰,他的作品一部又一部地不断问世。莎士比亚没有把他的天赋局限于戏院里,在1593和1954年,他发表了2篇叙事诗,《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》和《路易斯受辱记》,都是写给南安普顿伯爵的。1609年他也写了短诗并出版了。到1597年时莎士比亚已经很有钱了,他在斯特拉特福买套大宅子作为新居。大约于1610年莎士比亚从伦敦退隐回了斯特拉特福,即便如此他还是坚持写作了一段时间。他卒于1616年4月23日。 由于对莎士比亚的许多作品的创作准确时间仍然存有争议,评论家们对把莎士比亚戏生涯的戏剧作品划分阶段方面存有不同的观点。但总体来说他的戏剧生涯可以分为4个时期。 莎士比亚戏剧创作生涯的第一个阶段是创作早期。他写了5部历史剧:《亨利六世》的第一、二、三部,和《泰特斯·安特洛尼克斯》;4部戏剧:《错误的戏剧》,《维罗纳的2位绅士》,《驯悍记》和《爱的徒劳》。 第二个阶段,莎士比亚的创作风格和方式变得极具个性。在不同的人物之间、现象和现实之间,莎士比亚构造了复杂的典范,他对人类各种缺点进行了精妙的诠释。在这个时期他写了5部历史剧:《理查二世》,《约翰国王》,《亨利四世》第一、二部和《亨利五世》;6部戏剧:《仲夏夜之梦》,《威尼斯的商人》,《无事生非》,《皆大欢喜》,《第12夜》和《温莎的风流妇人》;2部悲剧:《罗密欧和朱丽叶》和《裘里斯凯撒》 莎士比亚的第三时期作品包括他最杰出的悲剧和所谓的黑色喜剧。这个时期的悲剧有:《哈姆雷特》,《奥赛罗》,《李尔王》,《麦克白》,《安东尼与克利奥帕特拉》,《特洛伊罗斯与克雷西达》和《科里奥兰纳斯》。2部喜剧是:《终成眷属》和《争锋相对》。 莎士比亚最后时期的作品包括他主要的烂漫悲喜剧:《伯利克里》,《辛白林》,《冬天的故事》和《暴风雨》;和他最后两部作品:《亨利八世》和《两个贵亲戚》。 莎士比亚真正的跟戏剧五官的是个主要是两首叙述长诗:《维纳斯和阿多尼斯》和《路易斯受辱记》,和他的154首系列短诗。莎士比亚的十四行诗都单是
