長難句：it’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that shakespeare,who earns their living,was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.

重點詞匯：ironic,share

■答案■

1、長難句：他們是靠莎士比亞過日子，而莎士比亞自己就是一位演員（留著胡子），當(dāng)初也是吵吵嚷嚷的，想到這些不無諷刺的意味。

分析：這是一個主從復(fù)合句，主句是its all deliciously ironic。另外，非限制性定語從句who earns their living修飾shakespeare，其字面意思是：莎士比亞掙錢養(yǎng)活他們，即他們靠莎士比亞過日子。

2、 ironic意為“諷刺的，說反話的；有諷刺意味的”。ironically,even the government was aware of the situation.（具有諷刺意味的是，甚至連政府都清楚這一情況。） share作名詞時表示“分享；份額；一份；股份”，句中did his share of noise making字面意思是他也制造他那一份噪音，即莎士比亞當(dāng)初也是吵吵嚷嚷的，像現(xiàn)在的演員一樣。
