32、别是该段尾句“While less famous worldwide，Tang Xianzu is rightly considered Chinas greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.”可知，作者开篇通过莎士比亚引出汤显祖后，接着说明虽然汤显祖在世界上不太出名，但他被认为是中国最伟大的剧作家是理所当然的，而且他在中国这个有着古老的文学和戏剧传统的国家里备受赞誉。又结合下文第二、三、五段中关于莎士比亚和汤显祖的各个方面的异同点
