Romeo and Juliet Has No Balcony《罗密欧与朱丽叶》里并没有阳台……[3] In fact, not only was there no balcony in Romeo and Juliet, there was no balcony in all of Shakespeare’s England. Tracing the history of how the balcony scene evolved over the past four centuries reveals that when it comes to Shakespeare, audiences may care less about the original text than about adaptations and revisions that appeal to the sensibilities of the current era. [4] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest known use in English of the word “balcone” (as it was then spelled) didn’t occur until 1618, two years after Shakespeare died. Even the concept of a balcony was (literally) foreign to Shakespeare’s British contemporaries. In 1611, more than a decade and a half after Romeo and Juliet was first performed, an Englishman named Tomas Coryat published an account of the tour of the Continent he undertook in 1608. Without the word “balcone” Coryat described what he saw in Italy: Some what above the middle of the front of the building ... a very pleasant little tarrasse, that jutteth or butteth out from the maine building. These kind of tarrasses or little galleries of pleasure ... serve only for this purpose, that people may from that place as from a most delectable prospect contemplate and view the parts of the City round about them.[3] 事实上,不仅在《罗密欧与朱丽叶》剧中没有阳台,莎士比亚时期的英格兰全境都没有阳台。阳台戏的演变史可以追溯到四个世纪以前,其间的沧桑变化表明,观众可能并不太在意莎剧中的原文。那些符合当代情感需求的改编和修订,才更受关注。[4] 根据《牛津英语词典》,balcone(当时“阳台”一词的拼法)直到1618 年才出现在英语中,而当时莎翁已去世两年。即便是“阳台”这个概念,对莎翁时代的英国人来说也是完全陌生的。1611 年,《罗密欧与朱丽叶》首演已过了15 年,英国人托马斯·科里亚特出版了自己1608 年游历欧洲大陆的游记。在描述意大利见闻时,他没有使用balcone 这个词。在楼房正面中部的上方……一个令人赏心悦目的楼座从主楼凸出来。这种楼座,或者说是娱乐用的眺台……目的只有一个,就是能从最宜人的视角窥望周边的城市风光。
