111． "The Tempest" is one of the most original and perfect of Shakespeare's production, and he has shown in it all the variety of his powers. It is full of grace and grandeur. The human and imaginary characters the dramatic and grotesque are blended together with the greatest art, and without any appearance.

　　[参考译文]《暴风雨》是莎士比亚最为别具一格，最完美的作品之一。他在本剧中表现了自己多方面的造诣。这个剧本意境优美，气势雄伟。他以炉火纯青的技巧把现实的人物和想象的人物，把逼真性和怪诞性熔为一炉，丝毫不露斧凿之痕。

　　112．Before the talks started, the two sides reached an understanding on confidentiality of the contents of the talks. Now, without prior consultations with the Chinese side, the British side had published in the White Paper entitled Representative Government in Hong Kong, by which it has unilaterally released the contents of the talks, and in which it has distorted and attacked China's position. This move of Britain was designed to shirk its responsibility for the rupture of the talks. The Chinese side therefore cannot but bring to light the facts in order to help people know the truth.

　　[参考译文]会谈前，双方曾达成会谈内容不向外界透露的谅解。现在，英方在未经与中方磋商的情况下，发表了《香港代议政制》白皮书，单方面公布了会谈内容。对中方的立场进行歪曲和攻击，企图推卸破坏会谈的责任。对此，中方不得不公布有关事实真相，以正视听。

　　113．During the first three rounds of the talks, the Chinese side made it plain that as the two sides had agreed upon the three principles as the basis for the talks, it believed it is important for the British side to first of all confirm the agreements and understandings previously reached between the two sides, for this was the only way to enable the talks to move on the right track. If it was reluctant to do so and wanted to amend or overturn them, then it would be impossible to ensure compliance of future agreements.

　　[参考译文]在第一轮到第三轮会谈中，中方提出。既然双方已经同意以三项原则作为会谈的基础。中方要求英方首先对双方过去达成的协议和谅解加以确认。这样才能使会谈沿着正确的轨道前进。如对过去已达成的协议和谅解不愿确认而要加以修改或推翻的话，那就无法保证今后达成的协议会得到遵守。
