<div style="mso-element: footnote-list;">序 （舞台监督致评论家们） 长者们止住呼吸看一对夫妻若无其事跳着华尔兹走过钢丝仿佛没有可能摔死也没有跌落的希望；<a title="" href="http://www.heilan.com/forum/post.asp?action=edit&BoardID=6&replyID=199509&ID=29229&star=1#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">[1]</a>伤者们哭嚎，丑角却让自己一语双关，噢——亲爱的小朋友们正在笑翻听鼓声擂响，看着美人儿被锯成两段。 噢——是谁做主把意外赋予存在？科学乐于给出答案：缠住我们的生命的鬼怪擅使镜子和牵线，歌曲，蜜糖与火焰，勇气，还有勾魂的眼睛也不乏苦心经营的天才可是，怎样才能编造出一种常性？我们的惊叹，我们的恐惧从未减轻。 艺术睁开呆滞的鱼眼瞪着肉体与魔鬼，他们给诱惑之家加火升温英雄们咆哮，死在里面。此刻，同情让我们湿嗒嗒的；感谢如此良夜；但我们真能满足吗？当我们在“我可以吗”和“我将会”之间相会，那正是狮子张开的巨嘴隐喻怎能填满它的饥饿？ 那么，谁不会在自家后院里向他无法引述的，笑眯眯的奥秘敞开心怀？这一切说明莎翁的头脑完全清醒当他写下——我们爱的这个实实在在的世界纯属子虚乌有，余下的一切尽归沉默在墙的另一面；而沉默就是成熟成熟就是一切。<a title="" href="http://www.heilan.com/forum/post.asp?action=edit&BoardID=6&replyID=199509&ID=29229&star=1#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">[2]</a>
<div style="mso-element: footnote-list;"> <a title="" href="http://www.heilan.com/forum/post.asp?action=edit&BoardID=6&replyID=199509&ID=29229&star=1#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">[1]</a>       此处对悲惨结局的“希望”呼应萨巴斯蒂安和安东尼奥对话中对“希望”一词作的游戏，见《暴风雨》第二幕第一场。</div><div id="ftn2" style="mso-element: footnote;"><a title="" href="http://www.heilan.com/forum/post.asp?action=edit&BoardID=6&replyID=199509&ID=29229&star=1#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">[2]</a>       “余下的一切尽归沉默”出自《哈姆雷特》第五幕第二场（All the rest is silence），是哈姆雷特的最后一句台词；“成熟就是一切”出自《李尔王》第五幕第二场（The Ripeness is all）。在这两部剧中，“沉默”和“成熟”分别指向“死亡”，奥登的诗句把两者直接联系起来。       </div></div>

reface(The Stage Manager to the Critics)The aged catch their breath, For the nonchalant couple go Waltzing across the tightrope As if there were no death Or hope of falling down; The wounded cry as the clown Doubles his meaning, and O How the dear little children laugh When the drums roll and the lovely Lady is sawn in half.O what authority gives Existence its surprise? Science is happy to answer That the ghosts who haunt our lives Are handy with mirrors and wire, That song and sugar and fire, Courage and come-hither eyes Have a genius for taking pains. But how does one think up a habit? Our wonder, our terror remains.Art opens the fishiest eye To the Flesh and the Devil who heat The Chamber of Temptation Where heroes roar and die. We are wet with sympathy now; Thanks for the evening; but how Shall we satisfy when we meet, Between Shall-I and I-Will, The lion\'s mouth whose hunger No metaphors can fill?Well, who in his own backyard Has not opened his heart to the smiling Secret he cannot quote? Which goes to show that the Bard Was sober when he wrote That this world of fact we love Is unsubstantial stuff: All the rest is silence On the other side of the wall; And the silence ripeness, And the ripeness all.
