哈罗德·品特是英国著名剧作家、英国荒诞派的代表作家。《送菜升降机》是品特早期的优秀作品之一,全剧由本和格斯之间漫无边际的闲谈构成,整个剧本都充满了品特戏剧的荒诞性特色。这部独幕剧只有本和格斯两个人物,他们在一间地下室里等候着命令,对未来一无所知。从荒诞而又真实的语言、荒诞至支离破碎的情节、荒诞而又被动的生存三个方面,来解析送菜升降机的荒诞性,能够发现品特作品独具魅力的艺术特色。 Harold Pinter is a famous English playwright, representative writer of the British Absurdist. The Pick-Up Lift, one of Pinter’s early works of excellence, consists of an endless chat between Ben and Gus and is full of the absurdity of Pinot Noir. This one-act play has only Ben-Guths, waiting for an order in a basement without knowing anything about the future. From absurd and authentic language, absurdity to fragmentary plot, absurd and passive survival, to analyze the absurdity of the pick-up elevator and to discover the unique artistic features of Pinter’s works.
