悲剧、喜剧、正剧,是三种不同的戏剧类型。它们的名称,最早是在欧洲提出并流传习用的,在我国悠长而又丰富多彩的戏剧发展史上,开始没有这些明确的名称区别,但在创作实践中却拥有许多这些不同类型的优秀作品。以后,随着东、西方的文化交流,悲剧、喜剧、正剧的名词传到我国,也为我国戏剧界所吸收接受,并与我国民族戏剧的优秀传统相结合。以下短文所介绍的这三种戏剧类型的形成,都属于这种情况,故在文前一并予以说明。 Tragedy, comedy, drama, are three different types of drama. Their names were originally proposed and passed on in Europe. In the long and colorful history of theater in our country, there was no such clear distinction of names at the beginning, but in the practice of creation there are many excellent works of these different types. Later, with the cultural exchanges between the East and the West, the tragedy, comedy and drama are spreading to our country. They are also accepted by the theater industry in our country and combined with the excellent tradition of our national drama. The formation of the three types of drama described in the following essays falls into this category and is explained together in the text.
