威廉?莎士比亞，英國文藝復興時期偉大的劇作家、詩人，歐洲文藝復興時期人文主義文學的集大成者。莎士比亞的戲劇是為當時英國的舞臺和觀眾寫作的大眾化的戲劇。17世紀始，莎士比亞戲劇傳入德、法、意、俄、北歐諸國，然后漸及美國乃至世界各地，對各國戲劇發展產生了巨大、深遠的影響，并已成為世界文化發展、交流的重要紐帶和靈感源泉。莎士比亞給世人留下了三十七部戲劇，其中包括一些他與別人合寫的一般劇作。此外，他還寫有一百五十四首十四行詩和三、四首長詩。

《津津有味?讀經典》推薦序
讀書最美妙的境界是讀得津津有味。
我想，對于中小學生，英語閱讀要讀出三味才算是津津有味。
津津第一味，是讀出好成績。國家《義務教育英語課程標準》（2011年版）和國家《普通高中英語課程標準》（實驗）都規定了中小學生的英語閱讀量，要求學生每年課外閱讀一定量的英文讀物。用課外的閱讀提高自己的英語成績，肯定是我們進行課外閱讀的一個基本愿望。如何實現呢？這需要有相應的配套活動指導，因為這些活動可以把我們在閱讀中獲得的語感轉化為我們考試中可以表現出來的語言運用能力。
津津第二味，是讀出寬視野。我們通過閱讀認知我們無法靠自己生活的直接經驗認知的世界，我們可以通過閱讀穿越到任何時代，與大師為伍，與英雄比肩，入宮廷痛斥國王，到小村體恤貧民。我們不僅可以因此而曉知天下，更可因此與人廣泛交流。
津津第三味，是讀出高素養。閱讀是學習，學習知識，更學習做人的道理、做事的方法、分析的思路、明辨的條理、批評的路徑、建構的框架。閱讀是體驗，體驗如何淡
泊明志、如何激揚文字，如此等等，豐富我們的人生理解，提高我們的綜合素養。
你肯定會問，如此三味，需要太多課外時間，我本無多少課外時間，是否可以聚合一體？
當然可以。
《津津有味?讀經典》就是一套可以讓你讀出津津三味的讀物。
這套讀物不僅
符合國家《義務教育英語課程標準》（2011年版）和國家《普通高中英語課程標準》（實驗）的要求，更是匯集了西方文學經典，更為難得的是，英語語言優美而又符合
我國學生語言水平，同時附有表演短劇劇本、純正地道MP3和自主評價手冊。
如此，你可以開卷“悅讀”了吧！
期待你讀出津津三味！

"I don't know what to say," said Bassanio. "I have no words to describe my love. I am too full of happiness. This ring will not leave my finger until I die."
Nerissa and Graziano wished them happiness. Then Graziano surprised Bassanio and Portia. He told them he was in love with Nerissa. Nerissa had agreed to marry him but only if Bassanio chose the right box and married Portia. He was just as pleased as Bassanio that the lead box had a picture of Portia in it. Graziano asked them to allow him to marry Nerissa at the same time Bassanio and Portia are married. Bassanio and Portia agreed.
Before the wedding could happen, however, Salerio arrived from Venice. On his way to Belmont, he had met Lorenzo and Jessica. They came with him. Of course, Bassanio was very happy to see them and soon told them his good news.They met Portia. Bassanio made his visitors happy in his new palace. He asked how Antonio was, but Salerio would not answer. He gave him a letter that Antonio had written.As Bassanio read the letter, the color left his face. Portia was worried.
"What bad news have you received ffom your friend?"she asked.
Bassanio had to explain everything to her. He told her about Antonio. He said he was a kind and good friend. He told her that he owed Antonio money. Then he told her that all of Antonio's ships had been lost at sea. There were ships in England, Spain, Tripoli, Mexico, and India. They had all sunk. Every one of them had valuable cargoes and all the cargoes were lost. Now he did not even have one ship. Then he told her that Antonio had borrowed money from Shylock and had to pay it back.
"He borrowed this money for me so that I could come here to court you," he said.
"How much is it?" asked Portia.
"Thirty thousand dollars," replied Bassanio.
"Then give him sixty thousand or even a hundred thousand," said Portia. "I don't want you to be unhappy because your good friend is in trouble. Marry me first.Then, let's go to Venice with our money as husband and wife to save your friend." Bassanio agreed, and they were married that night. Graziano married Nerissa as well.
Salerio told Bassanio that Shylock would refuse to take any money from Antonio or from any of his friends. The date was due, and he wanted the pound of flesh that Antonio had agreed to give as a penalty. Jessica said that she heard Shylock say the same thing before she left Venice with Lorenzo.
