TRANSCRIPT Narrator It was a sunny afternoon. William Shakespeare is working on his play The Merchant of Venice. His daughter comes to see him. Daughter Father, look at my new ring! Isn't it lovely, gold and shiny… Will Dear daughter, it is very beautiful. Where did you get such a pretty thing? Daughter From the market. It was much cheaper than the gold merchant! Will Is it real gold? Daughter Yes, of course! Will So, my dear daughter, why is your finger green? Daughter Oohhhh! Will My dear daughter, you have a lot to learn… sit with me while I work. The Merchant of Venice. The Prince of Morocco wants to marry the beautiful Portia. But first, he must choose between three boxes: one made of gold, the second of silver, and the third, of cheap lead. Only one of the boxes contains a picture of Portia, and if the Prince chooses the wrong one, he cannot marry her. So, dear daughter, which box does he choose? Daughter The gold box! Is it real gold? Will He chooses the gold box indeed, and indeed it is real gold. The Prince believes that only the most beautiful box can hold the painting of the beautiful Portia. But in fact, it holds not a picture, but a scroll with these words: All that glisters is not gold… Robert Harley as The Prince of Morocco All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told: Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold: Daughter He thought that because the box is beautiful on the outside, something beautiful must be inside… he was wrong. Narrator We'll leave them there for now. The Merchant of Venice is a play about money, money, money, and the phrase all that glisters is not gold warns us not to be fooled by people or things that look good - because they might not be as good as they look on the surface! In modern English, the word glisters is often changed to glistens or glitters. Clip 1 Well that car looks fantastic, but all that glitters is not gold. Check the engine before you buy it. Daughter Oh father, will you buy me a real gold ring? Pleeeeeaase? Will Hmmm… to buy, or not to buy: that is the question. 🤩🤩🤩 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more English videos and podcast English to help you improve your English 👉 http://tinyurl.com/ps3hplv ✔️ Visit our website 👉 https://www.bbclearningenglish.com ✔️ Follow us on Instagram 👉   / bbclearningenglish   ✔️ Find us on Facebook 👉   / bbclearningenglish.multimedia   ✔️ Join us on TikTok 👉   / bbclearningenglish   #Shakespeare #LearnEnglish #Idioms
