《裘力斯・凯撒》是莎士比亚以古罗马史为根据的名 剧。此剧借古喻今，深入探讨了英国伊丽莎白一世时代 专制集权、贵族民主和群众情绪三者之间的错综矛盾关 系。剧中有历史，有政治，有辩论术，有文采，因此是 英国历来青少年的必读教材。中学生往往排演此戏；受 过教育的成年人无不背诵过其中安东尼和勃鲁托斯雄辩 的演说。本书是该剧完整的原文，配以简要、准确、充 分的英汉文注释，可供大学外国文学系高年级学生或研 究生作教材用，也可供高等英语自学者和文学翻译工作 者阅读和欣赏。本剧写于十六世纪末，文字离现代英语 较远，但它是莎士比亚剧作中词汇量最少和最易读的一 种。借助于注释，具有一定英语训练的读者不难阅读和 欣赏。
