Shakespeare的喜剧剧作Much Ado About Nothing围绕着年轻订婚伴侣Hero与Claudio的情感波折展开——Hero被诬陷不贞，同时还穿插了针对曾发誓绝不结婚、心高气傲的Benedick及其温柔对手Beatrice所设下的“爱情圈套”。Benedick和Beatrice在朋友们的撮合下，二人欢喜冤家般的唇枪舌剑很快化解为一场充满戏剧性的爱意，而Hero所谓的背叛最终也被证实不过是“徒劳无功的一场虚惊（much ado about nothing）”。

……以及其他有同样感受的人：就我个人而言，我觉得莎士比亚的作品只有在现场演出中才真正鲜活起来，因为现场角色的互动提供了额外的上下文，能帮你理解到底发生了什么。我觉得《无事生非》是我看过的最棒的舞台表演之一，但几年前单读《无事生非》的文本只让我对莎士比亚产生反感，很多人也都是这样。莎翁的作品本来就不是用来……
…and others who feel the same way: personally, I think Shakespeare really only comes alive in a live performance where characters have additional context to help you understand what's happening. I think Much Ado About Nothing is one of the most enjoyable performances I've ever seen, but reading Much Ado About Nothing several years earlier only made me resent Shakespeare as it does for so many. Shakespeare's works weren't intended…
……选了一批糟糕的“经典”。《罗密欧与朱丽叶》在流行文化里被过度消费了，一点意思都没有，而我们不得不读的其他一两部纯粹是枯燥无味。但后来我偶然碰到了《无事生非》（当时还在上学），记得它其实非常棒。
…be a badly chosen set of "classics". Romeo and Juliet is so overdone in pop culture there's nothing interesting there, and the one or two others we had to read were just boring. But then I ran across Much Ado About Nothing (while still in school) and remember it being actually good.
我也有类似经历。学校似乎铁了心非要把莎士比亚最无聊的部分强塞给我们，后来过了好几年，快毕业的时候我偶然看到了《无事生非》——那真是一出好戏。我很喜欢那部。用来带我们入门莎翁的本来就该是这种剧目才对。
I had a similar experience. Schools seem absolutely determined to force the most boring parts of Shakespeare on us, then years later when I was almost done with school I ran across Much Ado About Nothing - and that was a good one. I liked that one. That should have been one of the ones used to introduce us to him.
……莎士比亚（可能是因为在学校被逼着读他的剧本吧），这很正常。我也是其中之一，但后来我们的一位英语老师决定带我们去看他的另一部戏作为奖励（《无事生非》），我禁不住觉得这是因为学校总盯着那些烂戏不放。我从没特意去读过/看过别的剧，但那一出真的很精彩，我觉得要是拿它来……
…Shakespeare (possibly due to being forced to read his plays in school) and that’s fine. I'm one of them, but after one of my English teachers decided to bring us to see one of his other plays as a treat (Much Ado about Nothing), I can't help but think it's because schools are obsessed with the bad plays. I've never gone out of my way to read/see other plays, but that one was actually entertaining and I think if it was used…
我在学校里“精读”过《无事生非》（正如作者所希望的那样），但我完全无感。可能问题通常不在于具体选了哪部剧。但在学校里学莎士比亚，确实有很多让人难以适应的地方，哪怕……
I ‘studied’ Much Ado About Nothing in school (as the author wished for) but it was lost on me. Probably the issue is not normally the specific choice of play. But there are lots of things that are hard about Shakespeare in school, even…
……评判其价值，就像那个笑话里的经济学家，在街上看到一张百元美钞却说：“如果那是真钞，早就有人捡走了。”他还把《无事生非》里的“剧情转折”（贝特丽丝要求培尼狄克去杀克劳狄奥）贬为“不合逻辑”，是“扁平且不真实”的角色专属戏码，因为“拜托——杀人竟然只是因为……未婚妻出轨……
…merits is like the joke about an economist who sees a hundred dollar bill on the street and says, "If that were a real bill, someone would already have picked it up." He also dismisses the "plot twist" in Much Ado About Nothing (when Beatrice asks Benedick to kill Claudio) as "illogical" and the province of characters who are "one-dimensional and unrealistic" because "I mean, come on—kill someone because ... his fiancée is cheating…
