從①885年開始的十年時(shí)間里,蕭伯納為許多雜志和報(bào)紙擔(dān)任音樂和戲劇評(píng)論家。這些文章后來發(fā)表在一個(gè)集,題為我們的劇院在九十年代
文學(xué)創(chuàng)作主張:

3:Shaw held that art should serve social purpose by reflecting human life, revealing social contradictions and educating the common people.?
蕭伯納認(rèn)為,藝術(shù)應(yīng)該通過反映人的生活、揭示社會(huì)矛盾、教育平民來服務(wù)于社會(huì)。

《沃倫夫人的職業(yè)》寫于①893年,但5年后出版,是一部關(guān)于女性經(jīng)濟(jì)壓迫的戲劇

蕭伯納還創(chuàng)作了幾部戲劇,探索他的“生命力量”理念,這種力量可以創(chuàng)造出與上帝平等的高級(jí)生物,并解決人類社會(huì)的所有社會(huì)、道德和形而上學(xué)問題
The typical examples of this group are Man and Superman?(①904) and Back to Methuselah?(①92①)

《醫(yī)生的困境》講述的是醫(yī)學(xué)界的無知、無能、傲慢和偏執(zhí)

《真實(shí)并非善良》是一部較好的后期作品,作者以近乎虛無主義的筆法,描寫了第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的殘酷和瘋狂,描寫了年輕人的漫無目的和幻滅。
結(jié)構(gòu)和主題:
①:Structurally and thematically, Shaw followed the great traditions of realism
蕭伯納在結(jié)構(gòu)和主題上都遵循了現(xiàn)實(shí)主義的偉大傳統(tǒng)

3:Most of his plays are concerned with political, economic, moral, or religious problems, and, thus, can be termed as problem plays
他的大部分戲劇都涉及政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、道德或宗教問題,因此可以被稱為問題劇
4:his plays have one passion, and one only, i.e. indignation,
他的戲劇只有一種激情,也只有一種,那就是憤怒,
人物塑造特點(diǎn):
①:he makes the trick of showing up one character vividly at the expense of another
他善于以犧牲另一個(gè)角色為代價(jià),生動(dòng)地展現(xiàn)一個(gè)角色
2:Usually he would take an unconventional character, a person with the gift of insight and freedom, and impinge it upon a group of conventional social animals,?so as to reveal at every turn stock notions, prejudices and dishonesties
通常,他會(huì)選擇一個(gè)不落俗套的人,一個(gè)有洞察力和自由的人,把他的性格強(qiáng)加給一群傳統(tǒng)的社會(huì)動(dòng)物,從而在每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)上都暴露出一些陳舊的觀念、偏見和不誠(chéng)實(shí)的行為
3:?Shaw's characters are the?representatives of ideas, points of view, that shift and alter during the play, for Mr. Shaw is primarily interested in doctrines.?
蕭伯納筆下的人物是思想、觀點(diǎn)的代表,這些思想、觀點(diǎn)在劇中發(fā)生了變化和改變,因?yàn)槭挷{先生主要對(duì)學(xué)說感興趣。
戲劇情節(jié)和角色特點(diǎn):
①:Much of Shavian drama is constructed around the inversion of a conventional theatrical situation.?The inversion, a device found in Shaw from beginning to end, is an integral part of an interpretation of life
蕭伯納的許多戲劇都是圍繞著傳統(tǒng)戲劇情境的反轉(zhuǎn)而構(gòu)建的。這種倒轉(zhuǎn),在蕭伯納的作品中從頭到尾都能找到,是對(duì)生活的詮釋的一個(gè)組成部分
2:By presenting a conventional hero as a villain, or a conventional villain as a hero, Shaw intends to give a shocking impression to his audience and challenge the conventional way of thinking.?
通過將一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的英雄塑造成一個(gè)惡棍,或者將一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的惡棍塑造成一個(gè)英雄,蕭伯納想給觀眾一個(gè)震撼的印象,挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)的思維方式。
3:Shaw's plays have plots, but they do not work by plots.?The plot is usually the disregarded backbone to one long, unbroken conversation
蕭伯納的戲劇有情節(jié),但它們不是根據(jù)情節(jié)來創(chuàng)作的。情節(jié)通常是一段漫長(zhǎng)而不間斷的對(duì)話的骨干
4:?It is the vitality of the talk that takes primacy over mere story.?Action is reduced to a minimum, while the dialogue and the interplay of the minds of the characters maintain the interest of the audience
是談話的活力凌駕于單純的故事之上。動(dòng)作被減少到最低限度,而對(duì)話和角色心理上的相互作用保持了觀眾的興趣
