Lily: Ann,what are you doing?
Lily: Oh, what play? Who is the writer?
Ann: The Peony Pavilion,the writer is Tang Xianzu, a great playwright in Ming Dynasty of China.
《牡丹亭》,作者是汤显祖,中国明朝一位伟大的剧作家。
Lily: I know.He is called Shakespear of China.
Ann: Why do you say that Tang Xianzu is Shakespare of China?
Lily: Tang Xianzu, like Shakespare, has written many great plays.Why don’t we call him Shakespare of China?
汤显祖就像莎士比亚一样,写了很多戏剧,我们为何不可以称他为中国的莎士比亚呢?
Ann: It sounds reasonable.
