今天的句子：

Doubts about whether William Shakespeare (who was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died in 1616) really wrote the works attributed to him are almost as old as the writing itself.

Alternative contenders—Francis Bacon; Christopher Marlowe; and Edward de Vere, the 17th earl of Oxford, prominent among them—continue to have champions, whose fervor can sometimes border on fanaticism.

（读懂了吗？想想你怎么出题？）

思考题一：

people always wonder whether William Shakespeare  is the real author of his works.

思考题二：

Francis Bacon had challenged that these works were written by Shakespeare.

第一句：

Doubts about whether William Shakespeare (who was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died in 1616) really wrote the works attributed to him are almost as old as the writing itself.

参考译文：威廉•莎士比亚，1564年生于埃文河畔斯特拉特福卒于1616年，他是否写了是那些归名于他的作品？这样的怀疑几乎与作品本身一样古老。

第二句：

Alternative contenders—Francis Bacon; Christopher Marlowe; and Edward de Vere, the 17th earl of Oxford, prominent among them—continue to have champions, whose fervor can sometimes border on fanaticism.

border on :接近于

fervor 热情

fanaticism 痴迷

（这里所谓的contender竞争者的意思是说这些作品真的作者。）

champions=支持者

动词champion=支持

参考译文：其他的竞争者，如弗朗西斯•培根、克里斯托弗马洛和17世牛津伯爵爱德华•德维尔（其中最据优势的一位），一直有各自的拥趸。这些支持者的热情有时接近狂热。

所以思考题二是错的！（不懂就听语音！）思考题一是对的，我语音有口误
