这句英语怎么翻译？

very few people had made ang sense of the writings of Copernicus by the time he died in 1543,twenty-one years before Galileo and Shakespeare were born

Answer 1

在翻译之前先要读懂原文。Very few people(很少有人/几乎没有人)，had made any sense of ...(意识到/理解/懂得)，the writings of Copernicus(哥白尼的作品) by the time he died in 1543(到他1543年死的时候)， 21years before Galileo and Shakespere were born (在伽利略和莎士比亚出生前21年)。所以整个句子译成: 哥白尼死于1543年，比伽利略和莎士比亚的出生早了21年。在此之前，很少有人理解他的作品。

Answer 2

如下:直到1543年哥白尼去世，此时离伽利略和莎士比亚还有21年，也没有几个人明白他的著作有什么意义。
