1. Stage Directions | 舞台方位
Stage directions tell actors where to move and are always given from the performer's point of view facing the audience. This system ensures everyone on stage moves consistently.
舞台方位指示演员如何移动，并且始终从演员面向观众的角度给出。这套系统确保舞台上每个人动作一致。
Upstage (US): The area of the stage farthest from the audience. Moving upstage means moving away from the audience.
上舞台（远离观众）：离观众最远的舞台区域。向上舞台移动意味着远离观众。
Downstage (DS): The area closest to the audience. Moving downstage brings you closer to the audience.
下舞台（靠近观众）：最接近观众的区域。向下舞台移动你将靠近观众。
Stage Left (SL): The left side from the actor's perspective (which is the audience's right).
舞台左侧：从演员角度看是左边（观众视角的右边）。
Stage Right (SR): The right side from the actor's perspective (audience's left).
舞台右侧：从演员角度看是右边（观众视角的左边）。

Cross: To move from one part of the stage to another, e.g. 'Cross downstage left'.
交叉移动：从舞台一处移动到另一处，如“向下舞台左侧移动”。
Memory Tip: Think of the stage as a slope – upstage is 'up' the hill (away), downstage is 'down' the hill (close). Stage left and right are like your own left and right when facing the audience.
记忆技巧：把舞台想象成一个斜坡——上舞台是“上坡”（远），下舞台是“下坡”（近）。舞台左右则如同你面对观众时的左右手。
