1、续写戏剧戏剧是一种综合的舞台艺术。我们这里要写的戏剧实际上就是剧本。它是文学体裁的一种,戏剧的基本要素包括情感、欲望、争斗、妥协等组成部分。戏剧离不开冲突,它表现在人物性格的冲突中,具体表现为一系列的动作。戏剧语言包括人物语言(台词actors/actresss lines)和舞台说明(stage direction),舞台说明是写在剧本每一幕的开端、结尾和对话中间的说明性的文字、内容包括人物、时间、地点、服装、道具、布景及人物的表情、动作、上下场等。它具有增强舞台气氛,烘托人物心情,展示人物性格,推动情节展开等多种作用。基本框架(1)人物说明:写明出场的主要人物。(2)故事背景:介绍故事发生
2、的时间、地点及社会背景等。(3)故事梗概:故事正文,即故事的起承转合。介绍冲突与危机(有时候会出现在故事的中段)。主要人物出现,带出主线故事的时间和地点。连串有关主线故事情节发展的线索及引发的插曲。主线故事的尾段,大转折后的戏剧终点。(4)舞台说明:一些舞台说明性文字,如演出剧场的属性、每场戏布景的安排说明、开场情境等。剧本内容应主要包括戏剧人物、人物对话、舞台说明性文字等。常用词块1narrator n叙述者2author n作者3scene n场面;情景4act n(戏剧等的)幕5perform v表演6audience n观众7director n导演8playwright n剧作家9p
