剧本是戏剧艺术创作的文本基础,就算是小型的英文舞台剧也是需要剧本的。
(Ladies and getlemen. Good afternoon.Today I’ll tell you a story. It is “Peter and the Wolf”.)
Peter: Good morning everyone. What a fine day! How beautiful the green lawn is!
Bird: Good morning, Peter.
Peter: Good morning, Bird.
Bird: It’s a fine morning, isn’t it! All is calm. All is beautiful.
Duck: I’m a duck, you see. Peter forgot to lock the door.
Now I’m free. How I want to have a good bath in the pool!
(Duck jumps into the pool.)
Bird: Hi! Who are you? You can’t fly?
Duck: Aren’t you a bird! You can’t swim? You see. I can.
Bird: You are a fool.
Duck: I’m clever. You are a fool.
Bird: You are a fool.
Duck: I’m clever. You are a fool.
(At this time, a black cat is coming quietly.)
Cat: Yeh. They are quarrelling. So I have no trouble catching them. Look at me, please.
Peter: Take care, Bird. Be careful, Bird.
(So the bird flies away.)
Duck: You are a thief. Why don’t you catch that bird?
Bird: You are a robber. Why don’t you rob me?
Cat: Should I go to catch the bird? Should I?
I’m afraid when I get there, the bird will fly away.
Grandfather: Peter, you see. It is very dangerous here. The duck is running into the pool. If a wolf comes, what should you do then?
Peter: I’m a young pioneer. I’m very brave. How can I dare a wolf?
(A few minutes later. A very big, cruel wolf comes siletly.
The black cat runs away quickly.)
Cat, Bird: Oh,! Wolf!
Duck: Oh! My dear. The wolf is coming. Let me run quickly.
