1. Stage Directions and Areas | 舞台方位与区域
Stage directions are always given from the actor’s perspective when facing the audience. ‘Centre stage’ is the strongest position, while ‘upstage’ is the area farthest from the audience, and ‘downstage’ is nearest. ‘Stage left’ and ‘stage right’ refer to the actor’s left and right.
舞台指示始终以演员面向观众时的方位为准。’中央舞台’是最有力的位置；’后台’指离观众最远的区域，’前台’则距离最近；’舞台左侧’和’舞台右侧’分别对应演员自身的左右方向。
‘Blocking’ is the term for planned movement on stage, including entrances, exits, and crosses. Directors use terms like ‘cross downstage right’ to indicate moving diagonally towards the front right corner. Understanding blocking notation helps actors follow precise directions during rehearsals.
‘Blocking’（走位）是指舞台上计划的移动，包括上场、下场和穿插走动。导演会用类似’cross downstage right’（斜移至前台右侧）这样的术语，指示演员走到某个特定位置。掌握走位符号有助于演员在排练中精准执行指示。
Areas also include ‘wings’ (sides of the stage hidden from audience view), ‘apron’ (the part of the stage extending in front of the curtain line), and ‘backstage’ (all areas behind the stage). The ‘fly tower’ above the stage holds scenery that can be lowered.
区域还包括’侧台’（观众看不见的舞台两侧）、’台唇’（大幕线之前伸出的舞台部分）以及’后台’（舞台后面的全部区域）。舞台上方的’飞塔’则存放可降下的布景。
2. Vocal Skills and Terminology | 声音技巧与术语
Vocal skills are how you use your voice to convey meaning. ‘Projection’ is the ability to be heard clearly without shouting, using breath support. ‘Articulation’ means shaping words with precise tongue and lip movements, while ‘diction’ is the choice and clarity of words. ‘Pitch’ is how high or low your voice is, ‘pace’ is speed, and ‘tone’ reflects emotional quality.
声音技巧是指运用嗓音传达意义的方法。’Projection’（投射）指借助气息支撑，不靠喊叫也能被清晰听到。’Articulation’（发音清晰度）指通过精准的舌和唇部动作来塑造词语，而’Diction’（措辞）关乎词语的选择与清晰度。’Pitch’（音高）是声音的高低，’Pace’（语速）是快慢，’Tone’（语气）则呈现情绪色彩。
‘Volume’ controls loudness; ’emphasis’ stresses key words to change meaning. ‘Pause’ is a deliberate silence for effect. ‘Intonation’ patterns can turn a statement into a question. ‘Accent’ may define character or region. Record yourself to practise using these elements independently.
‘Volume’（音量）控制声音大小；’Emphasis’（重音）通过强调关键词来改变语义。’Pause’（停顿）是为效果而刻意留出的静默。’Intonation’（语调）模式能把陈述句变成疑问句。’Accent’（口音）可塑造角色或暗示地域。录音练习能帮你独立运用这些元素。
3. Physicality and Gesture | 身体动作与姿态
Physical skills bring a character to life without words. ‘Body language’ includes posture, stance, and unconscious signals. ‘Gesture’ is a movement of the hands or head to communicate meaning, while ‘facial expression’ reveals emotions. ‘Eye contact’ can establish relationships or tension.
身体技巧能够不依赖语言而赋予角色生命。’Body language’（肢体语言）包含姿势、站姿和无意识的信号。’Gesture’（手势）指用手或头部动作传达含义，’Facial expression’（面部表情）则揭示情绪。’Eye contact’（眼神交流）能确立人物关系或制造紧张感。
‘Proxemics’ is the use of space between performers – close proximity suggests intimacy, while distance indicates conflict or coldness. ‘Levels’ refer to how high or low an actor’s body is, often conveying status: high level for power, low level for weakness. ‘Gait’ is a character’s way of walking, revealing age, health, or attitude.
‘Proxemics’（空间关系）指演员之间对距离的运用——近距离暗示亲密，远距离则表示冲突或冷漠。’Levels’（高度层次）是指演员身体所处的高低，常用来表现地位：高处显权力，低处显弱小。’Gait’（步态）是角色的走路方式，可透露年龄、健康状态或态度。
4. Characterisation and Role | 角色塑造与扮演
Characterisation is the process of creating a believable role. ‘Hot-seating’ is a technique where the actor, in role, answers questions from others to deepen understanding. ‘Thought-tracking’ allows characters to speak their inner thoughts aloud during a frozen moment or slow-motion sequence.
角色塑造是创造可信角色的过程。’Hot-seating’（坐针毡）是一种技巧，演员以角色身份回答他人提问，从而加深角色理解。’Thought-tracking’（思维追踪）则让角色在定格或慢动作中说出内心想法。
‘Role-on-the-wall’ involves drawing an outline of a character and writing internal feelings inside and external facts outside. ‘Improvisation’ is spontaneous acting without a script, used to explore situations. ‘Given circumstances’ are the background details (who, when, where) that ground a performance.
‘Role-on-the-wall’（墙上角色）是先画出角色轮廓，在内侧写上内心感受，外侧则记录外部事实。’Improvisation’（即兴表演）是无剧本的自发表演，用于探索情境。’Given circumstances’（设定情境）是支撑表演的背景细节（人物、时间、地点）。
