俄羅斯芭蕾舞的正式由來是什么

俄羅斯芭蕾舞的正式由來是什么

來聽今天的講解:

A: I've been asked to write a piece about Russian Ballet. and I don't know where ro start! You're interested in dance, any ideas?

有人請我寫一篇關(guān)于俄羅斯芭蕾舞的文章，可是我不知道從哪兒人手。你對舞蹈感興趣，有什么好建議嗎？

B: Well, actually Russian Ballet isn't Russian at all. It was introduced by foreigner, in the 17th by the second Romanov ruler Tsar Alexis Mikhaijovich.

是這樣，實際上俄羅斯芭蕾舞根本不是俄羅斯的。它是17世紀羅曼諾夫王朝第一個統(tǒng)治者亞歷克西斯•米哈伊爾沙皇在位時由外國人介紹進來的。

A: OK, for what reason?

噢，他為什么要引進芭蕾舞？

B:He wanted to watch it during his wedding celebrations. Then, Peter the Great took a personal interest in dancing at his court by bringing in western dances and taking part in them himself.

因為他想在自己的結(jié)婚慶典上觀看芭蕾舞演出。當時，彼得大帝個人對舞蹈很感興趣，把一些西方的舞蹈引進宮廷，自己還親自參與。

A: But was that really the formal beginning? I thought it began in a letter written in 1737 to the Empress Anne by the teacher of gymnastics at the Imperial Cadet School. The letter said: "I humbly ask Your Majesty that I shall be given twelve children-six males and six females--to create balletrs and theatre dances".

這真是俄羅斯芭蕾舞的正式由來嗎？我還以為它源于1737年皇家軍官學校的體操教師寫給安妮皇后的一封信，信上讜：“我向陛下懇求，我想要12個孩子,6個男孩和6個女孩，來表演芭蕾劇和和戲劇舞蹈”

B: That's right, and in 1738 the first Russian Ballet School was set up. It was a small school, with just two rooms in the Old Winter Palace.

你說得沒錯，俄羅斯第一所芭蕾舞學校于1738年成立。這是一所小學校，在舊冬官只有2間教室.

A:Didn't that school go on to become the St. Petersburg Ballet School? Very famous, I think.

是不是那所學校后來成了圣彼得堡芭蕾舞學院？我想，那是一所非常有名的學校。

B: Yes, it did. But the first great period of ballet didn't begin until the 1800s. A Frenchman, Charles-Louis Didelot is considered to be the " father of the Russian ballet. " He put on productions there.

確實是這樣。但是，直到1800年，芭蕾舞的第一次輝煌時期才到來。一個名叫查爾斯一路易斯•狄德羅的法國人被認為足“俄羅斯芭蕾舞之父”。他在俄國演出了一系列芭蕾舞作品。

A:After that there were many famous ballerinas! I always dreamed of being a ballerina when I was a child,but I think it was really quite a hard life. I know many died at a young age.

此后，出現(xiàn)了很多著名的芭蕾舞演員，我小時候一直夢想當個芭蕾舞演員，但我覺得這種生活一定很艱苦。我知道很多舞蹈演員在很年輕的時候就死了。

B: Nowadays it's a bit different though. Take Rudolf Nureyev for example, he died when he was in his 50s, much older than some of the early teenage dancers.

不過，現(xiàn)在情況有些不一樣了。拿魯?shù)婪?/font>•尤里耶夫為例，他是50多歲去世的，比那些青少年時就去世的舞蹈演員年紀大多了。
