There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists ... Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.
as引导非限定性定语从句；distinctly“明显地”；separate“分歧的”；increasingly hostile“日益敌对的”；branch“分支”；royal“皇家的”；present“呈现”；superb“极好的”；productions of the plays“戏剧作品”；memorial“纪念的”；townsfolk“市民，镇民”；live off“靠...过日子”；cottage“小屋”；sight“风景”。
The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors, ... 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.
worthy可以表示“值得尊敬的”；doubt“怀疑”；penny“（美）分，便士”；revenue“收入”；frankly“坦白地”；deliciously ironic“极其讽刺的”；earn one’s living“谋生”；share“份额，部分”。
The tourist streams are not entirely separate... -- and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side -- ... are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend the night ... pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.
separate.“分开的”；sightseer“观光者，游客”；take in结合语境，可以表示“参观，游览”；on the side“另外”；be surprised to do“惊讶于做某事”；however表转折；playgoer“戏剧爱好者”；do强调动词manage；sight-seeing“观光”；along with“连同”；it is...who...为强调句型，强调的内容是the playgoers；contend“主张”；spend“花费”；pour into“川流不息地涌入”；cash“现金”；take in everything可以表示“到处参观或游览完所有的景点”；nightfall“黄昏，傍晚”。
