It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.

词汇突破

ironic [aɪˈrɒnɪk]
adj. 讽刺的；反话的

结构分析

句子的主干是 It’s all deliciously ironic，when you consider 是以 when 引导时间状语从句，其后 that Shakespeare was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making 是宾语从句，宾语从句主语后接着一个定语从句，由 who 引导，修饰 Shakespeare。

参考译文

当你想到为他们谋生的莎士比亚本人就是一名演员(留着胡子)，也曾制造过噪音时，你就会觉得这是一种绝妙的讽刺。
