beard / biəd / n.(人的)胡须；络腮胡子

share / ʃeə(r) / n.(在多人参加的活动中所占的)一份

当你想到养活他们的莎士比亚本人就是个（留着胡须的）演员而且噪音制造也有他一份时，这真是绝妙的讽刺。

预告明日长难句

They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)—lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.（Text2. 2006）
