经典英语戏剧剧本：安德鲁•朗-美女与野兽

Beauty and the Beast美女与野兽

Narrator:

旁白:

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had eve叭hing his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish，and unkind. But then，one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again，the old woman’s ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize，but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form，the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

很久很久以前，在一个遥远而又美丽的城堡里住着一个年轻的王子，虽然他拥有了一切他想要的东西，但这个王子却被宠坏了，他的脾气非常暴躁还很自私。在一个寒冷的夜晚，城堡前来了个又冷又饿的老太婆，要用她的一朵玫瑰花，去跟这个王子换取一个能栖身的地方，王子拒绝了这个衣衫槛褛的老太婆，对于她的礼物，王子很不屑，并且很残忍地要把她赶走，这个老太婆警告王子不要只看外表，内在才是最美丽的根本。王子不理会，又一次凶狠地把她赶走了。突然这个丑陋的老太婆变成了一个非常美丽的女人。王子赶紧向她道歉，但是已经太迟了，因为她发现王子没有一点儿爱心。为了惩罚王子，她把他变成了一只野兽，并对整个城堡以及里面的人下了咒语。巨大而恐怖的野兽羞于他的外表，终日把自己锁在城堡里。他只有一个魔镜，可以看见外界的情形。那个女人留下的玫瑰变成了魔法花，将在王子二十一岁时绽放，如果在最后一片花瓣凋落之前，王子能够学会爱人，而且也有人爱他，那所有的咒语就会解除。否则，他将终生是一头野兽了。时间一天天过去了，他陷入了失望与绝望之中，因为有谁会去爱一只野兽呢?
