Shakespeare is above all writers,

at least above all modern writees,

至少高于当今所有作家,

the poet of-nature;

大自然的诗人;

the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.

他是作品将人间百态真实地展现在读者面前。

His characters are not moodified by the customs of particular places,

他的性格不受特定地方风俗的影响,

unpractised by the rest of the world;

也不局限于一部分人所从事的特定研究或职业;

by the peculiarities of studies or professions,

他们具有人们一贯具备的、普遍的人性特点,

which can operate but upon small numbers;

正如这个世界源源不断地提供一些东西;

or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions:

也不追随短暂的潮流或暂时的思想观点:

they are thegenuine progeny of comemon humanity,

他们是普通人类的真正后代,

such as the world will always supply,

正如这个世界源源不断地提供一些东西,

and observation will always find.

而双眼也能永不停歇地发现事物。

His persons act and speak by the infuluence of those general passions and principles by which all minds are agitated,

他的人物的一言一行都受那些能够触动所有人的大众化的情感和能使整个生命体系得以延续的普遍原则影响,

and the whole system of life is continued in motion.

整个系统得以继续延续。

In the writings of other poets a character is too often an individual ;

在其他诗人的作品中,一个人物往往就是某个个体,

in those of Shakespeare it is commonly a species.

而莎士比亚笔下的人物通常代表着某类人。
