Listen to part of a lecture in an Introduction to Drama class.
請聽對戲劇課的介紹的部分內(nèi)容。
Now, throughout the history of drama, there has been a, well, a relationship between the structure of a play, and the structure of the space where the play was performed.
縱觀戲劇的歷史，一臺戲劇的結(jié)構(gòu)和這個戲劇演出的空間的結(jié)構(gòu)之間有一種關(guān)系。
And this goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks, the Greeks built the first theaters in the 5th century B.C.E.
這種關(guān)系可以一直追溯到古希臘，古希臘在公元前5世紀(jì)建造了首批劇院。
These were outdoor theaters, the architects looked for sites where you had a natural bowl-like formation on the side of a hill, and that’s where they set the theater.
這些都是室外劇院，建筑師尋找了一些在山一側(cè)有著天然的缽狀構(gòu)造的地點，而那就是他們建造劇院的地方。
All Greek theaters were pretty much the same, there was some natural variation to accommodate the size and shape of the site,
所有的希臘劇院基本上都是一個樣，為了適應(yīng)地點的大小和形狀會做出一些自然的變動，
but as far as the basic elements went, those remained constant.
但是在基本元素方面，這些都保持了不變。
Have a look at this diagram. Let’s start with the area where the actors performed, like, what we call the stage today.
看看這個圖表。我們從演員表演的區(qū)域，也就是我們?nèi)缃穹Q為舞臺的地方開始吧。
The Greeks referred to this space as the skene, uh, there’s some confusion about the use of the word “skene” by different scholars.
希臘人把這個地方叫做skene，不同的學(xué)者對skene這個單詞的使用情況有些混亂。
Some authors use it to refer only to the structure behind the stage, while others use it to refer to the structure and the stage together,
一些作者只用它意指舞臺后面的建筑，而其他人用它來一起指代這個建筑和舞臺，
and that’s how I’ll use the term, to refer to both the stage and the building.
這也是我要使用這個術(shù)語的方式，用來指代舞臺和這個建筑。
Um, so, anyway, the skene started as a simple wooden platform, but eventually became much more elaborate.
所以......不管怎樣，skene剛開始時是一個簡單的木頭平臺，但是漸漸變得更精致了。
