7、答案请参考课本答案请参考课本 _ 课文翻译请参考下文：课文翻译请参考下文： 当哈姆雷特遇上京剧当哈姆雷特遇上京剧 我本以为自己对哈姆雷特很了解。作为一名以英语文学为主课的高中生，哈姆雷特是 我必学的内容！莎士比亚的哈姆雷特应该是最重要的英语作家创作的最重要的戏剧了。几乎所 有人都知道“生存，还是毁灭”，对吧？我看过好几部哈姆雷特的影视作品，这部戏剧我也看了 好几遍，因此我充满了信心直到城里来了京剧表演！ 京剧的起源可以追溯到 18 世纪，距今已有两百多年历史。这是否意味着京剧比莎士比亚的戏 剧更容易理解？为了找到答案，我必须去看看王子复仇记京剧版的哈姆雷特。 戏一开场，是乐队弹奏中国传统乐器，

8、我这个西方人的耳朵听到了一种全新的声音。起初，我 以为我听到的是小提琴的声音，不过后来我才知道那是一种有两根弦的乐器，叫做京胡。然后，看 到主角登场时，我感到十分惊讶！那些服装和脸谱都很棒。当然，演员们的唱词是中文的，但观众 可以借助伴奏、 夸张的动作和形体模仿来理解表演内容。 那些唱腔听起来非常独特有的女声声 调如此之高，以至于我觉得可以震碎玻璃！舞台的布置非常简单：有装饰的马鞭就代表马，写有汉 字的屏风就代表书房。通过这些方法，京剧把一个小小的舞台变成了浩瀚的宇宙。 毫无疑问， 演出中我最喜欢的部分是人物在舞台上的动作。 我从没见过哈姆雷特王子表演后空 翻！简直太不可思议了！那眼花缭乱的动作充满力量，我都不确定这些表演者到底是演员还是运动 员！大家都使劲儿鼓掌。 在亲身体验王子复仇记之前，我不知道自己是否会喜欢(京剧)。可事实上，我看得超级投 入！通过从表演中感受到的爱、怒、惧、哀等强烈情感，我很容易就能看出哈姆雷特的主题。 所以，如果你想看一场融合了音乐、演唱、戏剧、诗歌以及惊艳服饰的表演，那么王子复仇记 再合适不过了！
