Oxford is halfway between London and stratford-on-avon.(牛津位于倫敦和埃文河畔斯特拉特福的中途。)

Shakespeare's father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a member of the town council.(莎士比亞的父親是埃文河畔斯特拉特福一位德高望重的鎮議會成員。)

Shakespeare, who went up to London from Stratford-on-Avon as an actor, pursued his two careers with immense success. He became one of the partners who owned the Chamberlain's men, a company of actors.(莎士比亞作為一名演員從埃文河畔的斯特拉特福遠上倫敦，在那里，他對兩種職業的追求都取得了巨大的成功：他成為公共劇院的股東之一和隨團演員。)

After putting the painting on display in Shakespeare's hometown, Stratford-on-Avon, Alec Cobbe hopes to bring it back to Ireland for exhibition in the near future.(在把該畫陳列于莎士比亞的故鄉斯特拉特福德以后，亞歷克·科布希望在不久的將來將其帶回到愛爾蘭去展覽。)

Stratford on Avon is a small country town.(艾馮河上的斯特拉福是一個鄉村小鎮。)

Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches.(我們都知道，斯特拉福鎮只有一個產業——威廉·莎士比亞，但這里有兩個涇渭分明、而且越來越敵對的群體。)

The portrait goes on public display for the first time today in Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, England.(這副畫像首次在公眾面前亮相是在莎士比亞的出生地，英格蘭埃文河畔斯特拉福。)

We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, and that he died there in 1616.(我們知道莎士比亞1564年出生在艾馮河畔的斯特拉特福，1616年在那里去世。)
