well, that certainly explains why your professor wants you to read some of those old reviews.
嗯,那就可以理解为什么你的教授要你们读一些旧的评论。
the critiques really tore the play to pieces when it opened.

it's so controversial.

nobody had ever seen anything like it on the stage.

in fact, we were on vacation in new york.

oh, i had to be, eh, around 16 or so, and my parents took me to see it.
哦,那时的我应该是,嗯，大约16岁,而我的父母曾带我去看过它。
that would've been about 1965.
那时候大约是1965年。
so that was the year premier, great, but eh, newspaper from back then weren't online, so, how do i…
所以那一年,嗯,不错,但当时没有在线报纸,那我该如何是好…
well, we have copies of all the newspapers in the basement, and all the major papers publish reference guides to their articles reviews, etc.
嗯,我们在地下室有所有的报纸复印件及所有主要文章出版过的参考指南评论等。
you will find them in the reference stacks in the back.
你在后面的参考堆中可以找到。
but i start with 1964, so i think the play had been running for a little while when i saw it.
但我会从1964年开始,所以当我想自己看的时候这剧已经演了一段时间。
how do you like it?
你喜欢它什么呢?
i mean just two characters on the stage hanging around and basically doing nothing.
我的意思是只有两个人物在舞台上无所事事,基本上什么都不做。
well, i was impressed.
嗯,那出剧给我的印象非常深刻。
the actors were famous, and besides it was my first time in a real theatre.
演员很著名,而且这是我第一次在真正的剧院观看演出。
but you are right.
但你是对的。
it was definitely different from many plays that we read in high school.
它绝对不同于我们所读高中的许多剧本。
of course, in a small town the assignments are pretty traditional.
当然,在一个小镇所布置的作业是非常传统的。
yeah, i've only read it but it doesn't seem like it would be much fun to watch.
是的,我只拜读过，但看起来它不像是很有意思。
the story doesn't progress in any sort of logical matter, doesn't have real ending either, just stops.
这个故事没有任何合乎逻辑的进展,没有真正的结束,只是戛然而止。
honestly, you know, i thought it was kind of slow and boring.
老实说,你知道,我认为这有点拖沓而且显得无聊。
oh, well i guess you might think that.
哦,好吧,我猜你可能就是这样认为。
but when i saw it back then it was anything but boring.
但我当时看的时候可一点都不无聊。
some parts were really funny, but i remember crying too.
一些桥段是真的有趣,但是我记得也为之哭过。
but i'm not sure just reading it.
但我不确定只是读过就能拥有一样的感觉。
you know, they've done this play at least once on campus.
你知道,他们已经至少一次在校园里演出。
i'm sure there is a tape of the play in our video library.
我相信在我们的视频库有一盒这出剧的磁带。
you might want to borrow it.
你可能会想借。
that's a good idea.
太好了。
i'll have a better idea of what i really think of it before i read those reviews.
在我读那些评论前,我真的觉得自己会有真实的想法。
i'm sure you will be surprised that anyone ever found it radical.
我相信你会感到惊讶,有人发现它激进。
but you will see why it is still powerful, dramatically speaking.
但是丝毫不夸张的说，你会明白为什么它仍然那么有感染力。
yeah, it must be something about it, or the professor wouldn't have assigned it.
