Act One [Before the curtain rises] Silly Yang〔recites] I'm Silly Yang,and from shop to shop, I make my rounds till here I stop. This great teahouse,Yutai by name, A booming business,fortune and fame. Trade is brisk,lots of tea sold, Everyone welcome,young and old.

This is where bird fanciers meet, Where cricket-and grasshopper2-owners compete. With tea and snacks,you can while away the day, But not a crumb for those who cannot pay. Here chess players meet for their favourite game, Tasty meat balls,the winners claim Pomp is loved,but manners one must note, Everything has style,even clearing the throat. But above all else,get this straight, Never,if you please,discuss affairs of state. Matters there,alas,aren't good at all, The Great Qing Empire seems heading for a fall. Mandarins and generals have one common trick, Faced by foreign armies,they turn tail double quick. Foreign goods you'll find everywhere, With opium thrown in as an extra fare. The peasants'plight,words cannot say, Forced to sell their children,there's no other way. The rich got richer,the poor got worse, Till Tan Sitong demanded a reverse⑦， Kang Youwei supported him and Liang Qichao, All wanting the reforms,here and now. But such changes the despots doom presaged, No wonder the Empress Dowager was enraged. “Treason!”she screamed,.wanting blood, So the movement was crushed,nipped in the bud ·205· 【茶馆 这些事，别多说， 说着说着就许掉脑壳。 〔幕徐启。大傻杨入茶馆。 ①reveal /ri'vi/款.显示，透露 打竹板，迈大步， 走进茶馆找主顾。 哪位爷，愿意听， 《辕门斩子》来了穆桂英。 〔王利发来干涉。 ②intervene/,inta'vin/u.插入， 王掌柜，大发财，金银元宝一齐来。 干涉 您有钱，我有嘴，数来宝的是穷 ③rhyme /raim/n韵，韵文 鬼。（下） 第二幕 幕 前 大傻杨打竹板，我又来， 数来宝的还是没发财。 现而今，到民国， ④acquiesce/,ekwi'es/.默许， 勉强同意 剪了小辫还是没有辙。 王掌柜，动脑筋， 事事改良讲维新。 (低声)动脑筋，白费力， 胳臂拧不过大腿去。 ·206· Teahous But I'd better stop and hold myself in check, Talking too freely will surely risk my neck! [The curtain rises revealing the teahouse,into which Silly Yang enters.] Beating my clappers,into the teahouse I go, Hoping that somebody some interest will show. Would you like a story to cheer you up Of heroes and heroines,while you enjoy your cup? Wang Lifa comes over to intervene.) Manager Wang,for you these seem profitable times, Don't be hard on poor old me,living by my rhymes [Exit〕 Act Two 〔Before the curtain rises〕 Silly Yang〔recites] Beating my clappers,here I am again, Life's hard for a rhymester,so a beggar I remain. The Republic was set up and we all did acquiesce④， Our pigtails were cut off,but the country's still a mess. Manager Wang,reforming,all the tricks did play, To give his teahouse a new look in every way. [Sotto voce]But all his efforts,alas,are looking pretty thin, For with heads he lost,nor with tails did win. ·207· 【茶馆 闹军阀，乱打仗， ①rampant'rampant/a猖蹶的， 蔓延的 白脸的进去黑脸的上， ②oust/aust/数.逐出，夺取 赵打钱，孙打李， 赵钱孙李乱打一气谁都不讲理。 为打仗，要枪炮， 一堆一堆给洋人老爷送钞票。 为卖炮，为卖枪， 帮助军阀你占黄河他占扬子江。 ③carve /karv/.切，雕刻 ④sphere/sfia/m范围，领域 老百姓，遭了殃， ⑤squeeze/skwi:z/.紧握，挤压 大兵一到粮食牲口一扫光。 王掌柜，会改良， @zeal/in.热情，热忱 茶馆好像大学堂， 后边住，大学生， 说话文明真好听。 就怕呀，兵野蛮， ⑦brutish/'bru:tif/a野兽般的， 野蛮的 进来几个茶馆就玩完。 ⑧wreck /rek/n.破坏 先别说，丧气话， 向他道喜是个好办法。 他开张，我道喜， ⑨mingle /'mingl/.混合，联合 编点新词我也了不起。 〔下。 〔又上。 大傻杨 老裕泰，大改良， 万事亨通一天准比一天强。 王利发今天不打发，明天才开张哪。 ·208· Teahous Warlords were rampant,civil wars routine, One warlord hardly ousted,another on the scene. Zhao would fight Qian and Sun would fight Li, Wars involving thousands for no reason one could see. In order to fight,one must buy guns, So to foreign countries went silver by the tons. And warlords are encouraged in their careers, While China is carved up into many spheres When armies appear,poor peasants are squeezed, Since their grain and beasts are always seized. Now,Manager Wang,his reformer's zeal burning, Has turned his shop into a seat of learning. With well-spoken students as lodgers in the place, The teahouse has acquired a more educated face. But pray to Heaven no brutish soldiers come, For wrecking the teahouse is their idea of fun. But I'd better not go on in this gloomy way, I ought to wish him luck on his opening day. With the crowd of well-wishers,I'll now mingle, After all,I'm great at making up some jingle! 〔Exit.〕 [At his second entrance) Silly Yang 〔recites] The old Yutai now looks brand new, I hope all your dreams will come true. Wang Lifa I'm not dealing with the likes of you today. We're not opening till tomorrow. ·209· 【茶馆 大傻杨 明天好，明天妙， 金银财宝齐来到。 〔炮响。 您开张，他开炮，明天准唱《虫 八蜡庙》。 ①spoil/spoi/.破坏，腐坏 王利发去你的吧！ 〔傻杨下。 第三幕幕 前 ②sap /saep/n.树液，汁液 大傻杨树木老，叶儿稀， 人老毛腰把头低。 甭说我，混不了， 王掌柜的也过不好。 (他)钱也光，人也老， 身上剩了一件破棉袄。 自从那，日本兵，八年占据老北 京。 人人苦，没法提， 不死也掉一层皮。 好八路，得人心， ③mith/m6/n.欢乐，欢笑 一阵一阵杀退日本军。 盼星星，盼月亮， 盼到胜利大家有希望。 ·210· Teahous Silly Yang Ah,tomorrow'll be beautiful,tomorrow'll be fine, For you gold and silver,come rain come shine. [Cannon-shots are heard.] Cannons in the distance,something of a blow, For your grand opening they may spoil the show. Wang Lifa Oh,get out of here! 〔Exit Silly Yang.) Act Three〔Before the curtain rises】 Silly Yang〔recites) When trees are old,their sap is spent, When men are old,their backs are bent. Needless to say,I'm done for altogether, Even Manager Wang's at the end of his tether. Worn down by age,his money gone, His shabby winter jacket is all he's on. The Japs held old Beijing for eight long years, Those were the days of blood and tears. For those who survived,life was hell on earth, The Eighth Route Army's victories,the only source of mirth③ Hoping against hope such days would soon be past, Till the day came when the war was won at last. ·211·
