 名词解释:源于西方的小剧场话剧已经从一开始的“形单影只”变成了席卷中国话剧界的一阵狂潮,尤其是1995年北京人艺小剧场建成后,小剧场话剧发展得如火如荼,甚至已经大规模地影响到了流行文化。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

“小剧场”英语怎么说

Stage drama, especially small-scale theater, seems for many to be an esoteric art not everyone can immediately appreciate. However, Hong Kong stage director Edward Lam says learning to love the art form isn't as hard as it seems.

"Good drama doesn't directly tell you what it is and offer answers. Instead, it leads you to find out your own answers," he said.

The 2015 Cross-Straits Little Theater Festival, running from April 25 to May 17 in Beijing, brings together 10 stage dramas from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, including Lam's "Two Men". It introduces audiences to the charm of small theater, and offers space for lectures from mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwanese theater directors.

对许多人来说,舞台剧,尤其是小剧场属于深奥的小众艺术,并不是每个人都能欣赏。然而,香港舞台剧导演林奕华认为,要爱上这种艺术形式,并没有想象的那么难。

他说:“一部好剧不会直接告诉你它讲了什么,然后给出答案。相反,它会引导你自己去寻找答案。”

2015两岸小剧场艺术节于4月25日至5月17日期间在北京各剧场上演,精选了来自中国大陆、台湾和香港的10部舞台剧,包括林奕华导演的《两男关系》。艺术节为观众介绍了小剧场的魅力,大陆、香港和台湾舞台剧的导演也借此做了相关讲座。

  【讲解】

文中的small-scale theater就是“小剧场”的意思,其中theater是名词,也可以写为theatre,意为“剧场,戏院”,以上演话剧、音乐会、戏曲等为主,如:open-air theater(露天剧场),drama theater(话剧院),而cinema指“电影院”,多以放电影为主,如:We live opposite the cinema.(我们住在电影院的对面。)

第一句中的esoteric是形容词,意为“深奥的,难理解的”,如:esoteric knowledge(深奥的知识)
