1. Stage Directions | 舞台方位
Stage directions are the instructions in a script that tell actors where to move and how to position themselves. The terms 'upstage' and 'downstage' come from the old raked stage, where the back of the stage was higher. 'Upstage' means away from the audience, 'downstage' means towards the audience. 'Stage right' and 'stage left' are always from the actor's perspective when facing the audience.
舞台方位是剧本中指导演员如何移动和站位的说明。“后台”和“前台”这两个词源自过去倾斜的舞台，那时舞台后方较高。“后台”指远离观众的方向，“前台”指靠近观众的方向。“舞台右侧”和“舞台左侧”永远以演员面向观众时的视角为准。
Other key terms include 'centre stage' (the middle area), 'cross' (move from one place to another), and 'counter-cross' (move in the opposite direction to balance the stage picture). Always remember that marking these directions clearly in your script helps you block scenes efficiently.
其他关键术语包括“舞台中央”（中间区域）、“穿过”（从一个位置移动到另一个位置）和“反向穿过”（朝相反方向移动以平衡舞台画面）。请始终记住，在剧本中清楚地标出这些方位有助于你高效地设计走位。
2. Vocal Skills | 嗓音技巧
Vocal skills are how you use your voice to create character, mood, and meaning. 'Pitch' means how high or low your voice sounds, while 'pace' is the speed of your speech. A fast pace can build excitement or panic, and a slow pace can show sadness or seriousness. 'Volume' refers to loudness or quietness, and 'tone' is the emotional quality of your voice.
嗓音技巧是指你如何用声音去塑造角色、情绪和意义。“音高”指你声音听起来的高低，“节奏”是你说话的速度。快节奏可以制造兴奋或恐慌感，慢节奏可以表现悲伤或严肃。“音量”指声音的响度，“语气”则是声音中的情感特质。
'Pause' and 'silence' are powerful tools; a well-placed pause can create tension or highlight a moment. 'Emphasis' means stressing a particular word or phrase to change its meaning. 'Intonation' is the rise and fall of your voice, which can turn a statement into a question or reveal a character's real feelings.
“停顿”与“静场”是强有力的工具；恰到好处的停顿能制造张力或突出某个瞬间。“强调”是指重读某个词语以改变其含义。“语调”是你声音的升降变化，可以把陈述变成疑问，或揭示角色的真实感受。
3. Physical Skills & Movement | 身体技巧与动作
Physical skills involve the way you use your body on stage. 'Gesture' is a movement of part of the body, especially the hands, to express an idea or feeling. 'Facial expression' is exactly what it sounds like - how you use your face to show emotion. Both must be clear and exaggerated enough to read from the back of the theatre.
身体技巧涉及你在舞台上运用身体的方式。“手势”是身体局部的动作，尤其是手部，用以表达想法或情感。“面部表情”顾名思义——你如何用脸部表现情绪。两者都必须清晰且足够夸张，让剧院后排的观众也能看清。
'Posture' is how you hold your body: a character with high status might stand tall and open, while a low-status character might hunch and take up less space. 'Gait' means how a character walks. 'Body language' is the overall picture your body creates - tension, relaxation, confidence, or fear can all be read through it.
“姿态”是你身体的保持方式：地位高的角色可能站得笔挺、舒展，而地位低的角色可能驼背、占据较少空间。“步态”指角色走路的方式。“身体语言”是你身体所呈现的整体画面——紧张、放松、自信或恐惧都能通过它被解读出来。
4. Character & Role | 角色与扮演
Creating a believable character is the heart of drama. 'Role' is the part you play, while 'characterisation' is the process of building that role's personality, backstory, and physicality. You need to ask questions like: what does my character want? (their 'objective') and what is stopping them? (the 'obstacle').
创造令人信服的角色是戏剧的核心。“角色”是你扮演的部分，而“角色塑造”则是建立这个角色个性、背景故事和身体特征的过程。你需要问自己：我的角色想要什么？（即“目标”）以及什么在阻碍他们？（即“障碍”）。
'Motivation' is the reason behind a character's actions. 'Status' refers to the social standing or power a character holds in a scene. A character can have high or low status, and this can shift during the drama. 'Subtext' is the hidden meaning behind the lines - what the character really thinks but doesn't say out loud.
“动机”是角色行为背后的原因。“地位”指角色在场景中所拥有的社会阶层或权力。角色可以有高低地位，且地位可以在戏剧进行中转换。“潜台词”则是台词背后隐藏的含义——角色真正想却没说出口的话。
5. Dramatic Tension & Atmosphere | 戏剧张力与氛围
Dramatic tension is the feeling of uncertainty, excitement, or anxiety that keeps the audience engaged. 'Conflict' is often the engine of tension - it can be between characters, within a character, or between a character and their environment. Tension builds through rising action and reaches a peak at the 'climax'.
戏剧张力是让观众保持投入的不确定感、兴奋感或焦虑感。“冲突”通常是张力的引擎——它可以是角色之间、角色内心，或角色与环境之间的冲突。张力通过上升行动逐步积累，在“高潮”处达到顶峰。
'Atmosphere' is the emotional mood of a scene, created through lighting, sound, pace, and the performers' energy. A scene can feel joyful, eerie, tense, or calm. Actors and directors work together to control the atmosphere and guide the audience's emotional journey.
“氛围”是一个场景的情绪基调，通过灯光、音效、节奏和表演者的能量共同营造。一个场景可以让人感到欢乐、诡异、紧张或平静。演员和导演共同合作来控制氛围，引导观众的情感旅程。
6. Structure of a Play | 剧本结构
Most plays follow a narrative structure. 'Exposition' is the opening where characters, setting, and situation are introduced. The 'inciting incident' is the event that sets the main conflict in motion. Then comes 'rising action', a series of events that build tension and complications.
大多数剧本都遵循叙事结构。“呈示”是开场部分，介绍角色、背景和情境。“激发事件”是启动主要冲突的事件。接着是“上升行动”，一系列建立张力并复杂化情节的事件。
The 'climax' is the most intense moment, where the conflict reaches its peak. After that, 'falling action' shows the consequences, and finally the 'resolution' (or 'denouement') ties up the loose ends. 'Flashback' and 'foreshadowing' are also common devices to shape time and hint at future events.
“高潮”是最紧张的时刻，冲突达到顶点。之后，“下降行动”展示后果，最后“结局”（或“收场”）交代未尽之事。“闪回”和“伏笔”也是常见的技巧，用来重塑时间或暗示未来事件。
7. Stage Types & Spaces | 舞台类型与空间
The relationship between performers and audience changes depending on the stage configuration. A 'proscenium arch' stage has a framed opening, like a picture frame, separating the audience from the performance. This is common in traditional theatres and allows for realistic set design behind the fourth wall.
表演者与观众的关系因舞台形式而异。“镜框式舞台”有一个像画框一样的开口，将观众与表演分隔开。这在传统剧院中很常见，适合在“第四面墙”后设计写实布景。
A 'thrust' stage extends into the audience, with the crowd on three sides. This creates a more intimate feel and demands that actors play to multiple angles. 'In-the-round' (or arena) staging has the audience on all four sides, meaning all set and props must be carefully chosen so they don't block sightlines. 'Traverse' staging places the audience on two opposite sides, like a catwalk.
“伸出式舞台”延伸至观众席，观众围绕三面。这会营造更亲密的感受，要求演员兼顾多个角度。“环形舞台”（或竞技场式）让观众围坐在四周，意味着所有布景和道具都必须仔细选择，以免遮挡视线。“伸展式舞台”则把观众安排在相对的两侧，如同走秀台。
8. Lighting Terminology | 灯光术语
Lighting is not just about visibility; it shapes mood, focus, and time of day. A 'blackout' is the sudden absence of light, often used at the end of a scene. A 'fade' is a gradual increase or decrease in light intensity. 'Spotlight' isolates a performer or a specific area on stage.
灯光不止是为了照明；它塑造氛围、引导视线，并表现时间段。“黑场”指灯光突然熄灭，常用于一场戏的结尾。“渐明/渐暗”是光线强度的逐渐变化。“聚光”则将光线集中投射到某个演员或舞台特定区域。
'Gel' is a coloured filter placed in front of a light to change its colour. 'Gobo' is a metal or glass stencil that creates a pattern, such as leaves or a window frame. 'Backlight' comes from behind the performer, creating silhouettes and depth, while 'flood' covers a broad area with soft, even light.
“色纸”是放在灯具前改变光线颜色的彩色滤光片。“图案片”是金属或玻璃模板，能投射出叶子或窗框等图案。“背光”从演员身后照亮，制造剪影和深度感，而“泛光”则用柔和均匀的光线覆盖大面积区域。
9. Sound & Music | 音效与音乐
Sound design creates atmosphere and supports the action. 'Diegetic sound' is sound that characters in the play can hear, like a doorbell or a radio playing. 'Non-diegetic sound' is heard only by the audience, such as background music or a narrator's voice-over.
音效设计能营造氛围并辅助剧情。“剧情内音效”是剧中角色能听到的声音，例如门铃或收音机播放声。“剧情外音效”则只有观众能听到，比如背景音乐或叙述者的旁白。
'SFX' (sound effects) can be live or pre-recorded. A 'sting' is a short sharp sound or music cue used to punctuate a moment, like a sudden shock. 'Soundscape' is a layered composition of ambient sounds that builds the world of the play, such as a forest with birds, wind, and rustling leaves.
“音效”可以是现场制作或预先录制。“刺入音”是尖锐短促的声音或音乐提示，用来强调某一瞬间，如突然的惊吓。“声音景观”则是由环境声音层层叠加构成的声响世界，例如由鸟鸣、风声和树叶沙沙响组成的森林氛围。
10. Performance & Rehearsal Terms | 表演与排练术语
'Blocking' is the precise movement and positioning of actors on stage, set by the director. 'Cue' is the signal for an action, line, or technical effect to happen. 'Monologue' is a long speech by one character, while a 'dialogue' is a conversation between two or more characters. An 'aside' is a short remark directed to the audience, unheard by other characters.
“走位”是导演规定的演员在舞台上的精确移动与位置。“提示”是某个动作、台词或技术效果开始的信号。“独白”是一个角色的长篇讲话，“对话”则是两个或更多角色的交谈。“旁白”是直接对观众说的简短插话，其他角色听不见。
'Improvisation' is creating scenes without a script, useful for exploring characters and ideas. 'Hot-seating' is a rehearsal technique where an actor answers questions in character. 'Given circumstances' is a term from Stanislavski meaning all the facts about the character and their world that the script provides.
“即兴表演”是没有剧本地创造场景，有助于探索角色和想法。“热座”是一种排练技巧，演员以角色身份回答问题。“规定情境”是斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基提出的术语，指剧本所提供的关于角色及其世界的所有事实。
11. Genre & Style | 戏剧体裁与风格
'Genre' categorises plays by their content and emotional effect. 'Tragedy' typically shows the downfall of a noble character due to a fatal flaw. 'Comedy' aims to amuse through humorous situations and witty language. 'Melodrama' exaggerates emotions and features clear heroes and villains, often with music to heighten the effect.
“体裁”根据内容和情感效果为戏剧分类。“悲剧”通常展示一位高贵人物因致命缺陷走向毁灭。“喜剧”旨在通过幽默情境和俏皮语言带来欢笑。“情节剧”夸大情感，塑造泾渭分明的英雄与恶棍，并常用音乐加强效果。
'Physical theatre' tells stories primarily through the body, often using mime, dance, and acrobatics. 'Naturalism' tries to replicate real life on stage as closely as possible, while 'epic theatre' (associated with Brecht) deliberately reminds the audience they are watching a play to make them think critically about the issues presented.
“肢体剧”主要通过身体讲故事，常结合哑剧、舞蹈和杂技。“自然主义”力图在舞台上尽可能真实地复制生活，而“史诗剧”（与布莱希特相关）则刻意提醒观众他们正在看戏，促使他们批判性地思考所呈现的社会议题。
12. Rehearsal Room Etiquette & Key Phrases | 排练厅礼仪与关键用语
Good rehearsal habits are essential. 'Focus' means giving your full attention to the work. 'Off-book' is when you have memorised your lines and no longer need the script. A 'run-through' is practising the whole piece or a large section without stopping, aiming for flow and continuity.
良好的排练习惯至关重要。“专注”意味着全神贯注于工作。“脱稿”指你已经背下台词，不再需要看剧本。“连贯排演”是不间断地练习整部作品或一个大段落，以追求流畅性和连续性。
'Warm-up' prepares both body and voice before performance or rehearsal. 'Cool-down' helps you relax afterwards. Always respect the space and your peers: arrive on time, listen when others are working, and follow the director's 'notes' (feedback given after a run). 'Tech run' is a rehearsal focusing on lighting, sound, and scene changes.
“热身”在表演或排练前让身体和声音做好准备。“放松整理”则帮助你在之后恢复平静。始终尊重空间和同伴：准时到达，在他人工作时安静聆听，并听从导演的“指导记录”（连贯排演后的反馈）。“技术彩排”是专注于灯光、音效和换景的排练。
