上周我們的旅行學英語介紹了莎翁慶生路線

今天我們來看看,還有什麼好玩的玩法呢?


2. Join the birthday bonanza

Visitors to Shakespeare's Birthplace on April 23 will be able to sign a guest book that's brought out only once a year.

The book was first signed in 1847 and contains signatures of literary legends such as Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens.

On the same day, the Stratford-based Royal Shakespeare Company will stage a fireworks show, scheduled to start at 10:30 p.m. from the theater's 36-meter-tall tower.

The company is performing "Henry IV, Part I" and "Part II" during the birthday week.

The traditional birthday procession in Stratford-upon-Avon takes place on the morning of April 26.

Students from King Edward VI Grammar School, where Shakespeare studied as a boy, will parade from the Town Hall to the Holy Trinity Church then place quill pens on the writer's grave.

The procession will be followed by a people's pageant at 11 a.m.

Everyone can chip in to cheer, lament or act like the Bard.

The Elizabethan street party will be joined for the first time by a six-meter-tall mechanical Lady Godiva.

2. 歡迎加入他的生日派對!

遊客們若是在4月23號當天到莎士比亞出生地參觀,將有機會在一本一年只會被拿出來一次的留言簿上簽上大名!

這本留言簿設計於1847年,文學界的傳奇人物像是:托馬斯.哈代及狄更斯,都在這裡留下簽名。

在這天,斯特拉福的皇家莎士比亞劇團也會上演一齣煙火秀,晚間10:30時,會在劇院36公尺高的塔樓施放。

劇團在當周,也會演出亨利四世Part 1和亨利四世Part 2。

在4月26號當天早上,斯特拉福區也會舉行一場盛大的傳統慶生遊行。

而莎士比亞曾就讀過的愛德華王六世文法學校,該校的學生們也會組成隊伍從市政廳遊行到聖三一教堂,然後將鵝毛筆放置在這位作家的墳塚上,以玆悼念。

這場遊行到後面,會在晚間11點,由民眾舉辦熱鬧歡騰的宴會來接棒。

人人都能花點小錢來參加,無論是來慶祝還是來致哀,或是基本上來假裝自己是個吟遊詩人也行。

而今年,一個六公尺高的歌蒂娃夫人機器人,也將會在這個伊麗莎白式的街頭派對中第一次亮相。
