http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201308/201308161238292705766.mp3Shakespeare's birthplace, the little town of Stratford-upon-Avon, in Warwickshire, had made a thriving business out of its most famous citizen for a long time. It is a popular place for tourists from all over the world, even though many of them would have the greatest of difficulty in understanding Shakespeare's Elizabethan English.However, he has such a fine reputation that it is well worth the journey just to be able to look at the swans that swim on his river, and gaze at the cottage where Anne, his wife, lived before their marriage, and then to see his plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
To plot Shakespeare's life is to become involved in a kind of detective story where there are plenty of clues but very little else. Nobody even knows the exact date of his birth, although the register of the Parish Church confirms that William Shakespeare was baptized there on April 26th, 1564.莎士比亚的出生地，英国中部的沃里克郡埃文河畔的小镇Stratford因为出了莎士比亚这样一个著名人物长期以来收益颇丰。对于来自世界各地的旅游者而言，这个地方深受欢迎，即使他们中有很多人根本无法理解莎士比亚创作时所使用的伊莉莎白一世时代（1558至1603年，译者注）的英语。然而，莎士比亚的名气是如此之大，以至于旅游者认为只要能看到埃文河上游弋的天鹅，瞻仰莎士比亚的妻子Anne婚前住过的小屋，然后到皇家莎士比亚剧院观看他的戏剧作品，就会觉得不虚此行。
搞清楚莎士比亚的生平就像是研究某个仅有很多线索而无其他有力佐证的侦探故事。虽然莎士比亚所在教区的教堂的登记表证实他的确在一五六四年四月二十六日在那里受洗过，但是没有人知道他出生的确切日期
