A portrait of William Shakespeare and a copy of a speech from "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" were sent to the edge of space as part of a short film series marking 400 years since the first volume of the playwright’s works was published.
一幅莎士比亞肖像和擷取自「仲夏夜之夢」的對白被送上太空邊界，作為紀念首本作品集出版400年所拍攝的一系列短片中的一環。
Shakespeare’s First Folio was compiled by his friends and published on Nov. 8, 1623, seven years after his death. Some 750 copies are believed to have been printed, containing 36 of the 37 plays Shakespeare wrote, arranged for the first time as comedies, tragedies and histories.
莎士比亞的「第一對開本」在其過世7年後由友人於1623年11月8日編纂出版，據信印製約750本，涵蓋莎士比亞37部作品中的36部，也是第一次以喜劇、悲劇和歷史劇分類。
To mark the anniversary, filmmaker Jack Jewers made six short films addressing contemporary themes including space exploration, the impact of the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine using six of Shakespeare’s speeches and poems.
為了週年紀念，導演傑克．朱爾斯使用6段莎士比亞的對白和詩句，拍攝6部講述當代議題的短片，包含太空探索、新冠疫情衝擊和烏俄戰爭。
The First Folio is considered one of the most important books in English literature. Without it, 18 plays, including "Macbeth", would have been lost.
第一對開本被視為是英文文學史上最重要的書本之一，若無此書，包含「馬克白」等18部作品將會佚失。
