标题Knives in Hens [by David Harrower]
时间Fri Oct 19 21:11:02 2007
有讲到重要剧情。
很简单但是很有韵味的一个剧本,
描述一名前工业时期的苏格兰村姑发现了文学的语言、文字的力量以及上帝的伟大,
然後杀了她的丈夫:p
(好好一个剧本被我讲得这麽耸动0rz)
很有意思,最喜欢作者从头到尾不说这村姑的名字。
(但是是刻意不讲的:)
(情境:村姑到磨坊去,磨坊主人是个怪人,没事就在写字读书,
村姑觉得写字很邪恶,因为它让人不去记忆,
而且她也讨厌笔和纸这种浪费的邪恶发明,
磨坊主人激她,说她明明就是文盲,
村姑说她不是(她学字是用粉笔和黑板),磨坊主人就要她写字证明,
她虽然怕磨坊主人把她的字拿去作法之类的,但是硬是咽不下这口气,就答应了。)
Yound Woman: What you wanting, miller?
Gilbert: ... Your name.
[Silence. Finally she comes to the table. He pushes paper towards her.]
Young Woman: No tricks.
Gilbert: None.
[She has difficulty mastering the pen. Resolute.]
Young Woman: Show you I'm no dung-brain.
[She holds the paper up so he can read.]
Gilbert: Tell you what, horse-wife. You're beautifully named.
(Harrower, 1997: 21)
