安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 67

安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

A change in my tastes came when "Gust" Adams,[17] one of the most celebrated tragedians of the day, began to play in Pittsburgh a round of Shakespearean characters. Thenceforth there was nothing for me but Shakespeare. I seemed to be able to memorize him almost without effort. Never before had I realized what magic lay in words. The rhythm and the melody all seemed to find a resting-place in me, to melt into a solid mass which lay ready to come at call. It was a new language and its appreciation I certainly owe to dramatic representation, for, until I saw "Macbeth" played, my interest in Shakespeare was not aroused. I had not read the plays.

白话

卡内基说,当著名悲剧演员古斯特·亚当斯来匹兹堡演一系列莎士比亚角色时,他的品味变了。从此他眼里只有莎士比亚,几乎不费劲就能背下来。他第一次感受到文字有魔力,节奏和旋律好像在他心里安了家,融成一块,随时能调用。这是一种新语言,他得感谢戏剧表演,因为直到看了《麦克白》演出,他才对莎士比亚产生兴趣,之前根本没读过那些剧本。这说明,好的表演能让人爱上经典。

上下文

19世纪中叶,莎士比亚戏剧通过巡回演出在美国流行。卡内基当时是匹兹堡的少年信差,常看戏。
