Kunqu
昆曲是中國傳統(tǒng)戲曲中最古老的劇種之一,被稱為百花園中的一朵“蘭花”。昆曲發(fā)源于14世紀(jì)中國的蘇州昆山,后經(jīng)魏良輔等人的改良而走向全國,自明代中葉獨領(lǐng)中國劇壇近300年。昆曲在2001年被聯(lián)合國教科文組織列為“人類口述和非物質(zhì)遺產(chǎn)代表作”。
Kunqu,also known as Kunju,Kun Opera or Kunqu Opera,is one of the oldest extant(現(xiàn)存的) forms of Chinese opera.It evolved① from the Kunshan melody,and dominated(支配) Chinese theatre from the 16th to the 18th centuries.Kunqu originated② in the Wu cultural area.
Kunqu boasts a 600-year history and is known as the “teacher” or “mother” of a hundred operas,because of its influence③ on other Chinese theatre forms,including Peking Opera.It appeared in the second Golden Era of Chinese drama,but by the early twentieth century it had nearly disappeared④.
One of the major literary forms of the Ming and Qing dynasties was Chuanqi drama,originating from the South.Chuanqi,an old form of dramatic⑤ opera,originated from the Nanxi in late 14th century before the Kunqu opera arose.However,in late 16 century,Kunqu opera started to dominate large part of Chinese drama.Plays that continue to be famous today,including The Peony Pavilion and The Peach Blossom Fan,were originally written for the Kunqu stage.In addition,many classical Chinese novels and stories,such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms,Water Margin and Journey to the West were adapted very early into dramatic pieces.
Today,Kunqu is performed professionally in seven Mainland Chinese cities:Beijing,Shanghai,Suzhou,Nanjing,Chenzhou,Yongjia County/Wenzhou and Hangzhou,as well as in Taipei.Non-professional opera societies are active in many other cities in China and abroad,and opera companies occasionally⑥ tour.
Kunqu was listed as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2001.Its melody or tune is one of the Four Great Characteristic Melodies in Chinese Opera.

京劇可以追溯到18世紀(jì),已有200多年的歷史。
【詞匯精講】句中的date back to相當(dāng)于date from,意為“追溯到……;始于……”,一般無進(jìn)行時態(tài)和被動語態(tài)。
The old town dates back to the late seventeenth century.
這個古老的城鎮(zhèn)始建于17世紀(jì)末。

運用這些技巧,京劇把一個小舞臺變成了整個宇宙。
【詞匯精講】句中的transform是及物動詞,意為“使改觀,使變形,使轉(zhuǎn)化”。
It was an event that would transform my life.
那是能夠改變我一生的一件事。

重點句式
1....I was full of confidence—until the Peking Opera came to town!

【句式剖析】
until是連詞,引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。until用于肯定句,修飾延續(xù)性動詞,表示該動作或狀態(tài)的終止時間,until有“直到”之意;用于否定句,修飾非延續(xù)性動詞,表示該動作的開始時間。“not...until...”一般譯為“直到……才……”。

【句式拓展】
(1)強調(diào)肯定句中的until時間狀語(從句)時,一般套用“It is / was until...that...”句型;強調(diào)否定句中的until時間狀語(從句)時,可套用“It is/ was not until...that...”句型。
(2)not until位于句首時,句子要用倒裝語序。
It was not until he came back that I knew what had happened.
直到他回來我才知道發(fā)生的事情。
Not until one o’clock this morning did they return.
直到今天早晨一點他們才回來。
2.The voices themselves sounded really unique—some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass!
聲音本身聽起來真的很獨特——有些女聲音調(diào)太高了,我確信它們能震碎玻璃!
【句式剖析】
句中的so...that...意為“如此……以至于……”,so為副詞,修飾形容詞high;that 為連詞,引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。
She explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it!
她的英語語法解釋得如此清楚,以至于連我都能明白!
