英文小知识:
comedy(喜剧):古希腊酒神节的狂欢游行
喜剧最早产生于古希腊。它的希腊文Komoidia是由Komos(意为狂欢游行)与aeidein(意为唱歌)合成。它起源于农民收获葡萄时节祭祀酒神时的狂欢游行,游行者化装为鸟兽,载歌载舞,称之为Komos。最初时,游行队伍中只有一个合唱队,歌唱酒神的颂歌。后来,人们觉得过于单调,有人灵机一动,在队伍中增加了一个角色,专门负责与合唱队的队长按照事先写好的台词进行对白,这就是最初的喜剧演员,负责对白和表演。后来,演员的数量越来越多,表演的成分也慢慢超过了合唱,这就是希腊喜剧的诞生。由于喜剧的情节和台词都相对轻佻,所以在当时地位不高,诞生时间要晚于悲剧。(来源:童理民)
