對不起...打擾你們一會兒...(我是香港來的,希望你們不要介意)
有沒人在這麼喜歡莎士比亞的 ??
要說英國文學,沒有莎士比亞就不會是太多英文,我個人特別喜歡
HAMLET 莎士比亞的思維..很感動人,..我個人也喜歡馬克吐溫的 Huckerberry Finns,及其它...
有沒有人喜歡討論這的....?
第一次來這,希望有知音人,也希望找到喜歡的那一個...

打擾了...有意回應的,直接回應我的檔案,我的檔案中有電郵,有qq
很想來深圳會一會你們,但是可惜你們英語沙龍是在星期五晚,時間不太方便,星期六仍要上班,來去也太急

希望大家有些交流一下...
(請不要太急,因我個人對急要求急的不太會應付)

Excuse me, to my knowledge, Shakespeare had written no novels but plays and sonnets.

Execuse you...up to your (poor) knowledge,

Shakespeare wrote novels indeed.

If you dont know Shakespeare, go to www.google.com to search
when I see your quote,..Shakespears DID NOT WRITE any novel.
I went to English chat room...I got the same answer..."you are so ignorance"

從你的文字,看到你的幼稚........

Go to ask someone whos mother tongue is English and find out the truth.
Like some English Litature professor (who is white, like American, Canadian, or British to
find that out.)

從你的文字,看到你的幼稚........

Oh!!!!!!! Is there a war going on????????But according to the 1914 Oxford edition of the Complete Works of William Shakespere, he did write 37 plays, 154 sonnets and miscellaneous verses without mentioning of any novels.

Ha ha! Interesting! Hi, James, please tell us the names of some novels that Shakespeare wrote. It sounds odd when you matched Shakespeare with novels. He is famous for his plays and sonnets. May I remind you that this is a place for discussion not insult. Mind your words and typing (or spelling) mistakes! Be a civilized person not a savage.

Mr James,
Please do not mix up the word "novel" with "play". William Shakespeare is renowned as an outstanding play-writer not a novelist. Even if he did write some novels, they are all Greek to us. Nobody would waste time discussing them with you. "Hamlet", as you mentioned, is a play. The work written by Mark Twain is a novel indeed.
By the way you are arrogant and haughty.

I never said Hamlet is a novel. check it up yourself. If you cannot see what I say, you should wear a pair of glass . Up there someone said...Shakespeare never wrote a novel...
Thats why I wrote ..It is up to his POOR KNOWLEDGE. In fact, Shakespeare wrote some novels for sure. That is after research. You have right to say what you want, but Shakespeare wrote novels indeed.

amazon
Shakespeare wrote play in Greek ??
That is not only show your IGNORANCE but an insult to all who did English in University.
Shakespeare is an English writer. Check the British history before you say he wrote in Greek.

IT SHOWS YOUR IGNORANCE when you say he wrote in Greek.

My friends, you are making a tempest in a teapot. I am much younger than all of you here but if you trust me, let me be the judge.
1. I think James, you got up on the wrong side of your bed these mornings. Those who like the works of Shakespeare should be urbane, genteel and patient, but I have to say honestly that you are not. Cockaigne had raised his point of view that Shakespeare did not write any novels. What you have to do is to prove your point by giving evidence. That is a simple rule we have to follow both in argumentation and in court. However, you did not. Instead, you insulted him. What personality do you have?
2. Your heading "Anybody likes the novel of Shakespeare?" is a mistake. As Amazon pointed out that Shakespeare is famous for his plays and sonnets, it is not meaningful to discuss his novels even if he had written some. Therefore "Anybody likes the works of Shakespeare?" is a perfect heading. Don't you agree?
3. In English, there is a proverb (or idiom) "It's Greek to me". Greek is one of the most difficult languages to learn. So one can use this proverb to express something beyond someone's understanding. Amazon had her right. In the play Julius Caesar, there is a sentence "For mine own part, it was Greek to me." You should know it James if you love the works of Shakespeare. If not, check it out.
4. Give you another example: "In Dutch". "I am in Dutch" does not mean that I speak in Dutch or I am in Holland. "In Dutch" means in trouble. Have you ever heard "Go Dutch" before?
5. Your heading is to ask whether anyone likes the novel of Shakespeare. But what a pity that you did not name any novels of his in your essay, instead, you mentioned his tragic work "Hamlet" which the readers, who are not familiar with the works of Shakespeare, might have mistaken as a novel. I suggest you improve your writing skill.
6. Not all native speakers of English are familiar with the works of Shakespeare, a Negro specializes in this field may do well. Please think logically.
7. Conclusion: You are hard to get along with, fastidious, narrow-minded, like making storms over teacups...lastly a "bird-brain".

aplomb

You wrote a long passage of nothing BUT TWISTING THE TRUTH.
Simply you want to protect chinese against outsiders. We all understand that.

If you want to know the truth, you have to get it your own, but NOT ASKING FOR FREE LUNCH.
BUT YOU ARE...That is why I dont give you the answer, what novels Shakspeare.
Before I come to here to say someone is IGNORANCE, I searched, but I dont give you free lunch for sure. Since someone here said 'Shakespeare did not write any novel" I asked someone and searched.
Indeed he did some. When I asked 'Anybody likes the novel of Shakespeare?" that is NOT a mistake.
If you know how English people phase, you know what this phase means, but you dont know, simply because you just totally translate the phase into chinese that is total another meaning.

Thats why I say, it shows your ignorance, because you just translate the phase in chinese but not read it as a phase. You still keep your head in the stone age, I wont blame you at all.
A STONE IS A STONE, NEVER BEEN CHANGED AT ALL.

When someone here says, shakspear did not write any novel, I came to a English leactureer, he says he is so ignorance. I also search over the web site, it comes the same.

So if you want to twist and remain at the stone age, keep the way you are.
YOU HAVE RIGHT TO DO SO....AND YOU STILL CAN CLAIM YOUR ENGLISH IS GOOD.
:)

If I am narrow-minded I wont discuss here.

You write a long passage but lot of wrong expression...you just try to twist the truth to protect your own kind and stay at the stone age. You have right to do so. :)

Conclusion1: Harsh conflicts/dispute is a way to pull you HK divers out of water, so that we can learn something new.
Conclusion2: What goes around comes around.

Aplomb, could you enlighten me on this: Isn't "negro" a discriminated word to be used in your sentence? Or here we can use it freely as it is an academic word in this case? Thanks.

Negro(from Latin niger, black), in anthropology, the designation of the distinctly dark-skinned, as opposed to the fair yellow and brown variations of mankind. In its widest sense it embraces all the dark races.
It should be written with capital letter N.
Nigger is an impolite word but not Negro.

Uncle James,
1. It seems as if you were a virago.
2. I am a Chinese. Are you not?
3. I regard you as a Chinese, not an outsider. Blood is thicker than water.
4. The word "Chinese" should be in capital letter C. Show your respect please.
5. "...you have to get it your own,"
> you have to get it yourself
6. "...dont give you the answer"
> don't give you the answer
7. "...what novels Shakespeare"
>????????????what novels Shakespeare had written
8. "Before I come to here..."
> Before I came here
9. "...but I dont give you free lunch"
> but I don't (won't) give you (any) free lunch
10."Since someone here said 'Shakespeare did not write any novel" I asked someone and searched."
> Since someone here said, "Shakespeare did not write any novel", I asked someone to search.
> Since someone here said that Shakespeare did not write any novel, I asked someone to search..
11. "When I asked 'Anybody likes the novel of Shakespeare?" that is NOT a mistake."
> To ask if "Anybody likes the novel of Shakespeare?" is not a mistake.
12."...how English people phase..."
> phrase
13."...but you dont know..."
> don't
14."...just totally translate the phase into chinese that is total another meaning."
>...just simply translate the phrase into Chinese which creates another meaning
15. "Thats why I say..."
>That's
16."...stone age, I wont blame you at all."
>...Stone Age, I won't blame you at all.
17."...here says, shakspear did not write any novel, I came to a English leactureer,..."
>...here said that Shakespeare did not write any novel, I came to an English lecturer,...
18. "...the web site..."
> the website
19."...AND YOU STILL CLAIM YOUR ENGLISH IS GOOD."
>And still you can claim your English to be good/And you can still claim your English to be good.
20."If I am narrow-minded I wont discuss here."
>If I am narrow-minded, I won't discuss here.
21."You write a long passage but lot of wrong expression"
>You wrote a long passage with lots of wrong expression.
>You wrote a long passage with a lot of wrong expression.
22. Conclusion:
a.This is the free lunch that I can give you. Very delicious indeed!!!!!!
b.At any rate, I am not so niggardly as you.
c.Too many conspicuous mistakes. Try not to be so frivolous next time.
d Your English is equvalent to the standard of a Form 3 student in Hong Kong.
e.Work harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
g.Check your EQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plomb

YOU THINK YOU ARE SMART...BUT YOU ARE NOT

ONE SIMPLY PHRASE...

THERE "ARE" NO FREE LUNCH ON EARTH....BUT YOU SAID ...THERE IS FREE LUNCH...

LUNCH ARE UNCOUNTABLE...SO YOU CANNOT SAY...THERE IS FREE LUNCH...

YOU ARE NARROW-MINDED, YOU ONLY KNOW PICK ON OTHERS, BUT YOU DONT KNOW ANY ENGLISH AT ALL

THERE ARE A LOT OF MISTAKE, BUT YOU DONT SEE IT....

WHAT CAN I SAY ???

井底之蛙....自暴其短...你犯錯太多,我都唔好意思指正你了...

中國人的短處是...只看見人家的錯,但自己犯的比人家的多...井底之蛙....

夏蟲語泳....開口得罪人...

連最簡單的...ARTICLE 都搞唔清..IS 同 ARE 都分唔清...就出來指手晝腳....

IS 同 ARE 係...小學三年班都學得好的吧....如果我無記錯.....

我只可以說....井底之蛙.....

Aplomb,
You keep correcting this old fellow's mistakes, but such good advice rolls off him like water off a duck's back.. He is as insane as Hamlet. I think he is all wet crying stinking fish. What he wrote was a load of codswallop. You ask for it. "To be or not to be, that's a question."
