In English, people usually refer to one thing by means of speaking another thing but they are in the same category. For example, we can say "A young man feels sad about this accident," but we also can say "A young heart feels sad about this accident." " A young heart" heare refers to "the young man." This is one kind of metaphors used not only in daily speech but quite often in literary works. So is the case in Shakespeare's works. Rhetoricians call this kind of metaphor synecdoche. In Act Scene 2, Puck saysas The shallowest thick-skin of that barren sort, Who Pyramus presented in their sport, Forsook his scene and entered in a brake. "The shallowest thick skin" in this speech refers to

A、a cat.

B、a dog

C、Bottom

D、Titania

All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaki ng 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 . Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand . There is probab ly no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it . Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE？ A．English people have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist .

There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.
