【译文】在戏剧中,莎士比亚通过语言使人物变得栩栩如生。
【解析】首先容易排除过去将来时(A)和过去完成时(B)。容易误选的是C,因为我们都知道,如果主语是历史人物.他们的言行是过去的行为,所以应该用一般过去时。但是本句与此不同,它描述的是莎翁的戏剧,说的是莎翁的写作风格、特点,因此,应该用一般现在时。我们从Wikipedia有关“莎士比亚”的条目下抄出下面两句话.以说明一般过去时和一般现在时的区别:In this play(Macbeth),Shakespeare adds a supernatural element to the tragic structure...In his final period,Shakespeare turned to tragicomedy and completed three more major plays.
