《哈姆雷特(Hamlet)》是由威廉·莎士比亚创作的一部悲剧作品。戏剧讲述了叔叔克劳狄斯谋害了哈姆雷特的父亲,篡取了王位,并娶了国王的遗孀乔特鲁德;哈姆雷特王子因此为父王向叔叔复仇。
《哈姆雷特》是莎士比亚所有戏剧中篇幅最长的一部, 世界著名悲剧之一,也是莎士比亚最负盛名的剧本,具有深刻的悲剧意义、复杂的人物性格以及丰富完美的悲剧艺术手法,代表着整个西方文艺复兴时期文学的最高成就。同《麦克白》、《李尔王》和《奥赛罗》一起组成莎士比亚“四大悲剧”。
William Shakespeare is regarded as England’s national poet and the greatest playwright of all time.
To be, or not to be, that’s a question

The Revenge of Prince Zidan
根据莎士比亚《哈姆雷特》改编
Peking Opera version of Hamlet.
京剧版《哈姆雷特》

京剧版《王子复仇记》以中国化的形式把原著背景从丹麦搬到中国古代一个虚拟的“赤诚国”。剧中人物分别以中国姓氏命名:子丹(哈姆雷特)、姜戎(乔德鲁特)、殷缡(奥菲莉亚)等。剧情保留哈姆雷特复仇的主线和心理变化,剧中关于“生存还是毁灭,这是个问题”等经典独白也未作删改,保持戏剧框架的原貌,为唱、念、做、打提供足够的空间。

A weak nation is always excluded to enjoy preferential diplomacy.(弱国无外交)
A weak nation is also excluded to enjoy cultural communication.
This is why Chinese artists adapt Western classics into the Peking Opera tradition.

As teenagers, we are expected to respect cultural diversity(多样性), be full of confidence in Chinese traditional culture, and get Chinese traditional culture across to the whole world.
Conclusion
Language points
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!

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!

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.

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》。

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.
Para. 3
戏一开场,是乐队弹奏中国传统乐器,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。

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.

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。

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.
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。

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!
