求教大哥大姐一个很简单的英语问题.我理解力低.下面我理解不好
All of us use words,phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that "it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations".
小生不是求教词句的翻译,而是想知道最后一句话中“rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that "it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations".” (就像一位被带去观看《哈姆雷特》的老太太抱怨说:“戏里尽是大家熟知的谚语和引语.)这句话在句子中的内涵或者作用.
是对上一句话Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of hte words we use(绝大多数时间里我们可能没有意识到我们使用的语言的来源)的进一步的说明,也是举例解释说明上句,作者的意思应该是:本来我们所熟知的谚语和引语许多是来自于莎士比亚的作品,例如《哈姆雷特》,可是我们却没有意识到这点,却以为这些表示是引用我们熟知的语言.
