[书籍] Oxford Bookworms Playscripts Stage 2: The Importance of Being Earnest (Book+CD)
作者: Oscar Wilde
出版社: Oxford University Press
简介: This famous play by Oscar Wilde is one of the finest comedies in the English language. Algernon knows that his friend Jack does not always tell the truth. For example, in town his name is Ernest, while in the country he calls himself Jack. And who is the girl who gives him presents 'from little Cecily, with all her love'? But when the beautiful Gwendolen Fairfax says that she can only love a man whose name is Ernest, Jack decides to change his name, and become Ernest forever. Then Cecily agrees to marry Algernon, but only if his name is Ernest, too, and things become a little difficult for the two young men. 王尔德剧中的人物,大致可分为对照的两类:其间不是道家的正邪之别,而美学的雅俗之分。正人君子、淑女贤媛一类,在道德上当然属于正方,但在风格上却未必是雅人。反之,浪子名士,浪女刁娃一类,在道德上不属正派,但在风格上却未必是俗客。《理想丈夫》里齐氏伉俪,皆属前一类,《不可儿戏》完全超越了道德纠纷,原则上一切角色都不正派,只有配角劳小姐是个小小例外,至于杰克和亚吉能一对浪子,加上关多琳和西西丽一对刁妮,当然都属于后一类。每逢正主在场,多半言语无味,一到反客开口,妙语警句就如天女散花,飘逸不滞,绝无冷场。王尔德的名言大半是由他们说出来的。
