I know a friend who can get us free tickets.

我认识一个可以给我们弄到免费票的朋友。

Good words without deeds are rushes and reeds.

光说好话而不见行动，一文不值。

On the subject of reading, Francis Bacon, who lived at about the same time as shakespeare, wrote these words, Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. This good advice shows how it is possible to read

“有些书是应当尝尝滋味的，有些书是应当吞食下去的，有少数书是应当咀嚼和消化的。”这个忠告很好，它表明可以用不同的方法来阅读不同类型的书。
