23、.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：setting）解析：听力原文Character Analysis of Shakespearean PlaysGood morning, everyone. Last time I just gave a brief introduction to the Shakespearean play, today we will go further to discuss together how to understand a Shakespearean play. The most obvious way to begin an interpretation o

24、f a Shakespearean play is by evaluating the characters. UAny play involves characters in a particular setting, doing particular things/U. (任何戏剧中都有不同人物在特定的场景中做着特定的事情，所以填setting。) The plot will develop a conflict, which will usually inflict pain or distress on some people, and will lead to a final res

25、olution of sorts in which some characters may die or be punished severely, while others survive or triumph or get substantially rewarded. Hence, one clear entry into such a work is to put the characters on trial: Who is good? Who is bad? Why do certain people act in certain ways? Do any of the chara

26、cters change? Where are my sympathies as I make my way through this play? As an interpreter, I am, in essence, the judge, and how shall I apportion my verdicts?Interpreting a play by analyzing the characters in it, judging them, and coming to some final evaluation of them is a natural way to approac

27、h Shakespeare for three main reasons. The first is that these are plays, and they inevitably feature active characters more or less recognizably like people around us. That, indeed, is the chief appeal of the genre. USo it is entirely natural to treat the play as we treat life itself/U, (很自然地，我们看待戏剧

28、就像看待人生一样，故应填life。) by responding to the people we see, the actions they carry out, the words they use, and the decisions they make. On the basis of these observations we will come to some conclusions about their characters and will discuss the play in those terms.UThe second reason is that Shakespea

29、re is famous, more than anything else, for his astonishing ability to create interesting, complex, and natural characters/U. (莎士比亚出名的另一原因在于他创造人物的惊人能力，所以这里填create。) Unlike many other dramatists whose characters do not invite very complex investigation, Shakespeare has the ability to fill a play with

30、scores of characters, each of whom talks in a language and acts in a way which indicates a sharply focused individual personality with a very particular response to experience. Hence, it is, once again, natural to treat them as fully realized people whose conduct requires an evaluative judgment.Then

31、, too, the fact that we are dealing with plays always keeps the approach through character analysis alive, Ubecause theatre productions depend upon individual actors, and individual actors need to reflect upon the motivations for their characters/U. (戏剧是通过演员的表演呈现出来的，演员需要思考形成戏剧人物性格的动因是什么，所以填reflect。)

32、They have to, in a sense, discover their human qualities and become the stage people whose lives they enact. Thus, the dramatic tradition of continuing to mount Shakespeare productions ensures that the analysis of character will remain a powerful force in the interpretation of the plays.The third ma

33、jor reason why character analysis is an important approach to Shakespeares plays is that Shakespeares characters are often intrigued or puzzled by their own characters. That is, they make their characters part of the dramatic problem of the fiction we are exploring. When, for example, Hamlet or Macb

34、eth or Othello starts to wrestle with his own character, trying to understand his own motivation, feelings, and actions, that moment places the nature of the character as an essential element in the work. In other words, Uthe plays themselves put character analysis directly on the table/U. (戏剧本身就将人物

35、性格分析直接展现出来，所以填character analysis。)The approach to a Shakespeare play which places the analysis of character at the centre of the process was particularly strong in the nineteenth century, and Uthe literary interpretations from that period often illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of that approac

36、h/U. (那个时代的文学分析体现了人物性格分析的优点和不足之处，所以填literary。) UThe great value of character analysis is that it always reminds us that, whatever else we may want to talk of, the central concern is particular human beings/U. (这种分析法总是在提醒我们，无论我们谈论什么，都不能离开关注的中心，即人类，所以填human beings。) Whatever else King Lear is about, i

37、t is centrally about a suffering old man, whose unique character brings upon him almost unimaginable suffering. Whatever we make of Hamlet, we cannot forget that the people in the play drive Ophelia insane and lead her to suicide, and that she is an innocent and loving young woman. UFocusing upon th

38、e characters in the play always keeps us in touch with a major reason why Shakespeare matters/U (这种对人物性格的分析也使我们了解为什么莎士比亚如此重要，所以填matters。)his works constantly illuminate human nature in all sorts of moving ways.That said, however, treating the interpretation of a play as primarily a matter of evaluat

39、ing character can create problems. UOne major problem, of course, is that in many instances we do not know enough about a character to arrive at a sufficiently full understanding of his or her personality/U. (问题之一在于我们对于人物了解得太少，以至于不能对其性格做出全面分析，这里缺少名词，所以填knowledge。) We know almost nothing of Hamlets c

40、hildhood, or Bolingbrokes inner thoughts, or Lady Macbeths sexuality. UThus, key elements required in any full character analysis are missing/U. (获得全面性格分析的一些关键因素会缺失，所以填missing。) Of course, we can speculate on such matters, but such speculations can often end up in inconclusive and often trivial deba

41、tes, because there is not enough evidence. So we can find criticism by the analysis of character degenerating into explorations of the girlhood of Shakespeares heroines, endless arguments about whether or not the Macbeths had any children, how old Hamlet might be or whether he is really insane or no

42、t, whether Falstaff is a coward or not, how black Othello really is, or what Antony and Cleopatra really talk about when they are alone together.Shakspearean plays are great inheritance as well as wealth for the humankind. The characters in his plays give us lots of insights to know and to talk with
