Unit 4 Stage and Screen / 舞台与银幕 本单元共收录 7 篇（组）英文语篇。 1. When Hamlet Meets Peking Opera / 当《哈姆雷特》遇上京剧 I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet. As a high school student with English literature as 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! 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. 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 represented a study. Using such techniques, the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe. 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. 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! 我原以为自己非常了解《哈姆雷特》。作为一名把英国文学列为主要课程之一的高中生，我当然应该了解！莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》大概是英语文学中最重要的作家创作的最重要的戏剧。几乎人人都知道“生存还是毁灭”，对吧？我看过好几种版本的《哈姆雷特》演出，也把剧本读过许多遍，因此信心十足——直到京剧来到了这座城市！ 京剧的历史可以追溯到18世纪，至今已有两百多年。那么，它是否比莎士比亚的戏剧更容易理解呢？为了找到答案，我一定得去看看《王子复仇记》——京剧版的《哈姆雷特》。 演出以中国传统乐器组成的乐队奏响音乐开场，这种声音对习惯西方音乐的我来说全然陌生。起初，我以为听到的是小提琴，后来才知道，那是一种只有两根弦的乐器，叫作京胡。接着，主要角色登场，我更是惊讶不已！服装和脸谱美轮美奂。演员当然用中文演唱，但音乐、夸张的动作和哑剧式表演帮助观众理解剧情。演员的嗓音本身也十分独特——有些女声高得让我确信能够震碎玻璃！舞台布置却极其简洁：一根装饰过的马鞭代表一匹马，一面写有汉字的屏风代表一间书房。运用这些手法，京剧竟把小小的舞台变成了整个宇宙。 我最喜欢的部分，无疑是角色在舞台上的动作。我以前从没见过哈姆雷特王子做后空翻！那简直不可思议。表演如此炫目、充满活力，我甚至分不清台上的是演员还是运动员！所有观众都在鼓掌。 在观看《王子复仇记》之前，我不确定自己是否会喜欢它。事实上，我却看得全神贯注，始终坐在椅子边缘！演出中爱、愤怒、恐惧与悲伤等强烈情感扑面而来，我很容易就辨认出了《哈姆雷特》的主题。因此，如果你想看一场把音乐、歌唱、戏剧、诗歌和服装设计融合在一起并产生震撼效果的演出，《王子复仇记》绝对能满足你的全部期待！ 2. A Journal Entry: The Peony Pavilion / 观演日记：《牡丹亭》 I went to watch the ballet The Peony Pavilion last night. Because I thought ballet was more or less the same everywhere, I was totally unprepared for its unique beauty. As soon as the curtain rose, I was absorbed. The performance borrowed a lot from Chinese dance and music, so the Eastern influence on the ballet was clear. The production was full of colours and romantic symbols, and challenged my senses in new ways. I enjoyed it so much that it’s changed my opinion about ballet. I can’t wait to go again! 昨晚，我去观看了芭蕾舞剧《牡丹亭》。我原以为世界各地的芭蕾大同小异，因此完全没有想到它会如此独特而美丽。帷幕一升起，我立刻被吸引住了。演出大量借鉴中国舞蹈和音乐，东方文化对这部芭蕾舞剧的影响清晰可见。整场制作色彩绚丽，充满浪漫意象，以全新的方式冲击着我的感官。我太喜欢这场演出了，它甚至改变了我对芭蕾舞的看法。我已经迫不及待想再去看一次！ 3. Glastonbury Festival / 格拉斯顿伯里音乐节 Dating back to the 1970s, Glastonbury Festival is a music and arts festival that takes place on a large farm in Somerset in South-west England. Most of the organisers are volunteers and much of the money raised from ticket sales goes to charity. Many famous bands have performed at the festival over the years, and the number of people attending has grown to about 200,000. 格拉斯顿伯里音乐节始于20世纪70年代，是一项在英格兰西南部萨默塞特郡一座大型农场举行的音乐与艺术节。大多数组织者都是志愿者，门票收入中有很大一部分会用于慈善事业。多年来，许多著名乐队都曾在这里演出，参加人数如今已增长到约二十万。 4. Using Stress for Emphasis / 用重读表示强调 Words within a complete sentence can be pronounced in two different ways: weak and strong. The strong, or stressed, pronunciation is less common, as it is used to emphasise the most important words in a sentence. It helps clearly convey meaning and also creates a natural rhythm in the sentence. 完整句子中的词可以采用两种不同的读法：弱读和强读。强读也就是重读，使用频率较低，主要用于突出句子中最重要的词。它既能清楚地传达意义，也能使句子形成自然的节奏。 5. Good Book, Bad Movie? / 好书为何变成了烂电影？ 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”. Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western 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”? 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. 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. 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 Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby. 人们常说“一图胜千言”，但只要稍微看看书籍以及由它们改编的电影，任何人都会开始怀疑这句俗语。太多时候，精彩的文字最终被改编成了银幕上的“失败之作”。 好电影需要好故事。既然如此，为什么西方叙事文学中最早、最伟大的作品之一——荷马的《奥德赛》——从未被改编成同样伟大的电影？电影需要鲜明有力的人物，那么，为什么根据《了不起的盖茨比》改编的电影从未被赞为“了不起”？电影当然也需要令人印象深刻的画面，可为什么《爱丽丝梦游仙境》只催生出一些最多只能称为“有趣”的电影呢？ 其中一个关键原因是，读完一本书通常需要几天，而一部电影一般不到两小时。这意味着，优秀书籍登上大银幕时，往往会失去许多情节细节和人物。即使大获成功的《哈利·波特》系列电影也无法避免这一问题：原著读者因为在电影版中看不到某些喜爱的角色而感到失望。 当电影中的事物与我们读书时的想象不一致，也会令我们失望。以史诗电影《特洛伊》为例，它部分改编自荷马的《伊利亚特》，上映后观众评价褒贬不一。最受质疑的是海伦一角的演员选择。许多人认为，这位演员配不上“世界上最美丽的女人”这一称号，这在一定程度上影响了观众对电影的评价。 一千个读者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，遵循的规则也不相同。考虑到这一点，也许我们应该根据电影自身的特点来评价它，而不是总拿它与原著比较。有趣的是，近些年来，观众开始转向《神探夏洛克》或《广告狂人》一类电视连续剧，因为电视剧可以容纳更多人物，也能让情节逐步展开。也许有一天，F.司各特·菲茨杰拉德这部最受推崇的作品也会被拍成连续剧，让《了不起的盖茨比》的读者们目不转睛地守在屏幕前。 6. Using Examples in an Argumentative Essay / 议论文中例子的作用 Examples in argumentative essays can serve several purposes. They can be used to explain ideas and concepts, to support arguments, and also as a way of providing additional information. 议论文中的例子可以发挥多种作用：它们可以用来解释观点和概念、支持论点，也可以补充额外信息。 7. Writing a Movie Review: The Princess Diaries / 影评写作：《公主日记》 The Princess Diaries is a movie about a teenager named Mia Thermopolis. Shortly before her sixteenth birthday, she is shocked by the life-changing news that she is the princess of a fictional kingdom called Genovia. Starring Anne Hathaway, it is definitely a movie you should not miss! Mia, a socially awkward American girl, becomes princess of Genovia when her long-absent father, the Crown Prince, dies. She’s taught how to behave perfectly. However, things get out of hand when the media gets hold of the story, putting Mia in the spotlight. On top of this, she must make a choice between continuing the normal life of a San Francisco teen and stepping up to the throne. The movie explores the theme of responsibility in an intelligent and humorous way. The most memorable scene is towards the end of the movie when, during Mia’s darkest moment of self-doubt, she is touched by a letter her father left her. “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.” It’s one of the most unforgettable lines from the movie. The Princess Diaries is an interesting movie. It’s about being and bettering yourself, and about knowing who your real friends are.
