曹禺写《雷雨》的时候只有二十四岁,那么年轻,骨子里有足够的激情与能量;同时他的视野又是那么老练,技巧那么纯熟,把一个封建大家庭无法挣脱的悲剧表现得剑拔弩张,以致与他同时代的剧作家们都被比得黯然失色。不仅如此,在以后的岁月里,曹禺本人也再没有写出像《雷雨》这样热烈喷薄的作品来。 When Cao Yu wrote Thunderstorm, he was only twenty-four years old. He was young, and he had enough passion and energy in his bones. At the same time, his vision was so sophisticated and his skills were so skillful that the tragedy that a feudal family couldn’t break free was astounded. The playwrights of his contemporaries were overshadowed. Not only that, but in the years that followed, Cao Yu himself had never written anything like a thunderstorm.
