高中英语外研版 必修2 Unit4 语篇1 When Hamlet Meets Peking Opera 当哈姆雷特遇见京剧 I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet.As a high school student with English literature was one of my main subjects,I have to! Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the most important play by the most important writer in English.Almost everybody knows “To be,or not to be”,right?Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times,I was full of confidence-until the Peking Opera came to town! 我以为我对《哈姆雷特》了解很多。作为一名高中生，英语文学是我的主要科目之一，我不得不这样！莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》可能是英语中最重要作家最重要的作品。几乎每个人都知道“生存还是毁灭”，对吧？我看过不少《哈姆雷特》的演出，也多次阅读了这部剧本，我充满了自信——直到京剧《哈姆雷特》来到镇上！ Dating back to the 18th century,Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history.Does this mean it's easier than a Shakespeare play to understand? To find out the answer, I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan-the Peking Opera version of Hamlet. 追溯到18世纪，京剧已有两百多年的历史。这是否意味着它比莎士比亚的戏剧更容易理解？为了找到答案，我不得不去看一看京剧版本的《哈姆雷特》——《紫钗记》。 Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments,the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears. At first, I thought what I heard was a violin,but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu. Then,seeing the main characters come on stage,I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing.The performers of course sang in Chinese, but the music, exaggerated movements and mime helped get the meanings across to the audience. The voices themselves sounded really unique-some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a decorated whip represented a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters, a study.Using such techniques, the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe. 随着一支演奏中国传统乐器的管弦乐队的开场，这部歌剧为我的西方耳朵带来了全新的声音。起初，我以为我听到的是小提琴，但后来我了解到那是一种叫做京胡的两弦乐器。然后，当主要角色走上舞台时，我感到惊讶！服装和面具令人惊叹。当然，表演者用中文唱歌，但音乐、夸张的动作和哑剧帮助向观众传达了意义。声音本身听起来真的很独特——一些女性的声音如此之高，我确信它们能打破玻璃！舞台非常简单：一个装饰过的鞭子代表一匹马，一个带有中文字符的屏风，代表一个书房。使用这些技巧，歌剧将一个小舞台变成了整个宇宙。 Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage. I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before! That was simply incredible.It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn't sure if the characters were performers or athletes! Everyone was clapping. 我最喜欢的部分无疑是角色在舞台上的移动。我从未见过哈姆雷特王子做过后空翻！那简直太不可思议了。它如此耀眼和充满活力，以至于我不确定角色是表演者还是运动员！每个人都鼓掌了。 Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan,I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. But,in fact, I was on the edge of my seat! Feeling the strong emotions of love,anger, fear and grief in the performance, I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet.So, if you want to see a show that combines music, singing, drama, poetry and costume design with explosive effect,The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes! 在体验《王子齐丹的复仇》之前，我不确定是否会喜欢它。但是，实际上，我极为激动！在表演中感受到强烈的爱、愤怒、恐惧和悲伤的情感，我能轻易地辨认出《哈姆雷特》的主题。所以，如果你想看一场结合了音乐、歌唱、戏剧、诗歌和服装设计，并且效果震撼的表演，《王子复仇记》满足了所有的要求！ 高中英语外研版 必修2 Unit4 语篇2 Good Book,Bad Movie? 好书，烂电影？ They say that"a picture is worth a thousand words",but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying.All too often,great words end up being turned into cinematic"turkeys". 他们说“一图胜千言”，但只要稍微浏览一下基于书籍改编的电影，任何人都会对这句常言产生质疑。太常见的情况是，伟大的文字最终变成了电影中的“失败之作”。 Good movies need good stories.If so,why has one of the earliest and greatest works inWestern storytelling, Homer's The Odyssey,never had an equally great movie based on it?Movies need strong characters.So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as "great"? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as"interesting"? 好的电影需要好的故事。如果真是这样，为什么西方叙事文学中最早也是最伟大的作品之一，荷马的《奥德赛》，从未有过一部同样伟大的电影改编作品？电影需要鲜明的角色。那么为什么基于《了不起的盖茨比》改编的电影从未被誉为“伟大”？当然，电影还需要令人印象深刻的画面，那么为什么《爱丽丝梦游仙境》只产生了最好被描述为“有趣”的电影？ One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read,a movie typically lasts under two hours.This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen.This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from,with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions. 背后的关键原因之一是，一本书通常需要几天时间来阅读，而一部电影通常时长不到两个小时。这意味着，当伟大的书籍搬上大银幕时，可能会丢失情节细节和角色。即使是极为成功的《哈利·波特》电影也无法避免这一点，书迷们对于在电影版本中未能看到他们喜爱的一些角色感到失望。 Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books.Take,for example,the epic movie Troy,which is in part based on Homer's The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience.The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen.Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of"the most beautiful woman in the world",influencing opinions of the movie to some extent. 电影也会让我们失望，当事情看起来并不像我们在书中想象的那样。以史诗电影《特洛伊》为例，这部电影部分基于荷马的《伊利亚特》，观众对其评价褒贬不一。最引人争议的问题是选角，扮演海伦的女演员。许多人认为她没有达到海伦“世界上最美丽的女人”的称号，这在一定程度上影响了人们对电影的看法。 There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules.With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right,and not against its original source.Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or MadMen,which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps,one day,readers of E Scott Fitzgerald's most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby. 一千个人眼中有一千个哈姆雷特。此外，书籍和电影是两种不同的媒介形式，因此它们有不同的规则。考虑到这一点，或许我们应该以电影本身的标准来评判它，而不是与它的原始来源相对比。有趣的是，近年来观众转向了如《神探夏洛克》或《广告狂人》这样的电视剧集，这些剧集可以有众多角色和逐步发展的剧情。或许有一天，阅读E·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德最令人钦佩的作品的人们会发现自己被《了不起的盖茨比》的剧集牢牢吸引在屏幕前。 课标词汇序号 单元短语序号 超标词汇序号 单元 词汇及短语 音标 词义 常用搭配 487 B2U4 opera /ˈɒprə/ n. 歌剧 Tonight is the opening night of the opera.今晚是这部歌剧的首演之夜。 488 B2U4 movement /ˈmuːvmənt/ n. 运动，动作 This was my initiation into the peace movement. 那是我加入和平运动的开始。 489 B2U4 aspect /ˈæspekt/ n. 方面 Climate and weather affect every aspect of our lives. 气候和天气影响我们生活的每个方面。 490 B2U4 version /ˈvɜːʃn/ n. 版本 I only knew the official version of events. 我对事情的了解仅限于官方的版本。 491 B2U4 string /strɪŋ/ n.
