6. The original ending of King Lear wasn’t performed for nearly 150 years because it was thought too upsetting. In its place was a heavy-handed adaptation by 17th-century playwright Nahum Tate, who blue-pencilled the tragic double death of Lear and his favourite daughter Cordelia. In Tate's version Lear lives out his last years in retirement, while Cordelia gets hitched to Edgar.
6.《李尔王》的原始结尾在长达150年的时间里没有上演过，因为人们认为它太悲伤了。17世纪，剧作家内厄姆塔特拙劣的修改了它，使得原作中李尔王和他最爱的女儿考狄利娅两人双双死去的悲剧性结尾化为乌有。在塔特的版本里，李尔王在退休后得以安享天年，而考狄利娅则和埃德加终成眷属。
