代沟


这出喜剧主要写一位为儿女感到自豪的父亲虽做出种种努力帮助子女,不知怎的,其结果却总是令子女尴尬不已。出于搞笑的目的,故事情节作了极度夸张,但几乎人人都能从中看到自己以及父母的影子。

老爸英明

马什·卡萨迪

人物:父亲;母亲;海蒂,14岁;黛安,17岁;肖恩,16岁;饭店经’理,20多岁:希金斯

场景;快餐店,汤普森家餐厅,一所中学的办公室等

幕启;随着灯光亮起,海蒂上,走至舞台右前方。肖恩与黛安上,走至舞台左前方。海蒂对观众说话,两人倾听。

海蒂:我老爸是个大好人。没人会相信他不好。可是他……唉,他老是干那些蠢事,弄得我们当儿女的到头来无地自容。瞧,我哥曾一度想买把吉他。他都积攒了好一阵子钱了。后来他在这家快餐店找了份活,不错吧?当服务员。这是·肖恩第一次正经打工,他真的挺开心。他算计着,再过两三个月,他就能攒够钱买他想要的那把吉他了。老爸老妈都为他感到骄傲。晤,是啊,他是大哥,老是要捉弄我。不过嘛,我也同样为他感到骄傲。你猜后来怎么了?我都不想说这事,因为:

黛安、海蒂:(齐声)老爸英明!

(左后方灯光亮起,肖恩打工的快餐店。有柜台和几张小桌子。经理站在柜台后面。父亲进店时,肖恩正忙着擦桌子。)

经理:  晚上好,先生,能为您效劳吗?

父亲:晚上好。

肖恩:  (自言自语)噢,不!  (他在一张桌子后蹲下,欲躲过父亲的视线。)

父亲:我找经理。

经理:我就是,先生。

父亲:我是萨姆·汤普森。我儿子在这儿打工。

经理:哦,您是肖恩的父亲。

父亲:是啊。知道嘛,这是他第一次打工。我只想看看他干得怎么样。

经理:噢,不错。没问题。

肖恩:(双手摊开,掌心向上,自言自语)我干了什么了要受这份罪?倒是告诉我啊?

父亲:那么雇用他没错啦?

经理:呃,对,我想是的。

肖恩:(仍然自言自语)回家去,老爸。回家去。回家去。

父亲:我肯定他是一把干活的好手,可他也跟其他孩子一个样,明白我的意思吗?

经理:(不再有兴趣)我怎么知道。    ·

父亲:他是个好孩子。你放心,要是有什么问题需要解决的话,我和肖恩会开诚布公谈的。

经理:我看没必要吧……

父亲:噢,没事儿。我为我儿子感到骄傲,我为他深感骄傲。我只是想让你知道,我将竭尽全力帮助他驶过人生的惊涛骇浪。

肖恩:(站起身,高声喊叫)唉!唉!唉!

父亲:儿子,不知道你在这儿。  ’

肖恩:这是我打工的地方嘛,爸!

父亲:那自然。我是说,刚才没看见你。

肖恩:我真弄不明白。

父亲:经理和我正聊得起劲呢。

(黛安从左前方上,海蒂自右前方上。两人看着肖恩和父亲。)

肖恩、黛安、海蒂:(齐声)老爸,你这是干什么呀。

(灯光迅速暗下,片刻之后又亮起。肖恩独自站在舞台右前边。海蒂、黛安走至舞台左前边)

肖恩:  这类事要是偶尔发生一两次,那倒也没什么。总的来说,我是不肯把自己老爸跟别人的老爸换的。他爱我们当子女的,也爱老妈。不过我想,有时问题就出在这儿。他一    心想帮助我们,他自以为在为我们做好事呢。可他应该多想想才对,因为:

肖恩、海蒂、黛安:(齐声)老爸英明!

(灯光暗下,旋即又在舞台中央亮起。父亲与三个孩子围坐在餐桌旁。母亲端菜上,把菜放在桌上。父亲迅速起身为她拉出椅子。母亲坐下。全家开始用餐。)

父亲:  我要给你一个惊喜,黛安。

黛安:  (知道不会有好事)你要给我……一个惊喜?

母亲:哎,是什么事啊,亲爱的,别卖关子了。

父亲:  呃,你们知道,丹·卢卡斯和我是同事。

黛安:凯尔的父亲?

母亲;  别插嘴,亲爱的,你父亲正有事要跟你们说呢。

海蒂:(与肖恩耳语)我敢肯定准是黛安不要听的事儿。

肖恩:  (与海蒂耳语)你怎么会知道?

母亲:  肖恩,亲爱的。海蒂,宝贝儿,别打扰你们的父亲。

肖恩、海蒂:(同时地)对不起,妈妈。

父亲:  好吧。我说了,我知道你挺喜欢小凯尔。

黛安:  爸爸!

父亲:是这么回事,对吗?我不是听你跟你妈说,你希望凯尔邀请你在高年级舞会上跳舞吗?

肖恩:  噢!

海蒂:  哎哟!

母亲:  静一下,孩子们,静一下。你们父亲在说话呢。

黛安:  (咬紧牙,一字一顿地)对一我一是一说一过一你一这一干一嘛?

父亲:那就算了。

黛安:  (歇斯底里地)什么算了?

父亲:  我说什么啦?我说错什么了吗?

海蒂:  (对肖恩)这会儿还没有,还没说错什么

肖思:  (对海蒂)等着吧,这就来了。

母亲:  静一下,孩子们。对父亲应该尊敬一点。

海蒂、肖恩:(一边转着眼珠)是,妈妈。

父亲:  嗯,今天我见到丹时,问他想不想去第三街上的那家法国餐馆吃午饭。孩子他妈,你是知道那家餐馆的。

母亲:对,是啊,我知道。

父亲:  我请客,我对他说。当然,他挺乐意去了。    .

母亲:他哪能不乐意呢?

父亲:(略为惊讶地)对,是啊。

黛安;  这一跟一我一有一什一么一关一系一呢?

母亲:  黛安,你的行为有时我真弄不懂。无论怎样我就是弄不懂。

黛安:  (没好气地)那就抱歉了。

母亲:  多谢了,黛安。(对父亲)请说下去

父亲:我说过……

海蒂:  我们知道你说过什么,爸爸。

父亲:  嗯·....·哦,你说什么?

肖恩:她说,“我们知道你说过什么,爸爸。”

父亲:是啊,是啊,当然。

母亲:快说吧,亲爱的。我做了特别好吃的甜点。是我姨祖母希尔达传下来的老配方,…

黛安:妈妈,好了!

母亲:怎么啦,宝贝

(黛安摇着头,身体仰靠在椅背上。)

父亲:不管怎么说,丹人不错。过去我跟他不熟。发现我俩还有不少志趣相同之处。家庭,社区,世界和平,人类幸福。

海蒂:(咕哝着自言自语)就要说到正题了·。

肖恩:爸爸?

父亲:嗳?儿子?

肖恩:我肯定黛安很想知道是什么惊喜。

黛安:(粗粗地喘气,好像精疲力竭的样子,她转向肖恩连连点头)多谢了,肖恩。我记着你的情。

父亲:啊,对。我就说吧。我告诉丹,你对他儿子很感兴趣。

黛安:你说什么?

母亲:黛安,你怎么啦?我真不明白你们年轻人。唉,在我那个时候….

黛安:妈,好啦!

母亲:怎么啦,怎么啦?又怎么啦?

妈妈,我知道她想听爸爸说完。

肖恩:(自言自语)还不如说是快把这份罪受完算了。

黛安:爸爸,请你告诉我。现在,马上告诉我。你说什么啦,爸爸?求你了,快说,你跟卢卡斯先生说什么啦?请快告诉我。请快说。

父亲:嗨,瞧,太妙了。看来我的小计策成功了。如今你急着想知道·.,…这可让人觉得我做的这一切还真值。

海蒂:(对肖恩)你能相信吗?

肖恩:(对海蒂)啊,当然。你还不信?

父亲:嗯,对了,我告诉他你是多么喜欢小凯尔,一心希望他邀你在高年级舞会上跳舞。

黛安:你没这么说过!告诉我你没这么说过!

父亲:说了,当然说了。只要为了我孩子好嘛。

黛安:(尽力忍住)那……那——“

母亲:黛安,你没事吧?

黛安:(冲着母亲撅起下巴,很快扭头面对父亲)那……他怎么说?!

父亲:嗯,当然啦,以他的为人一坦率,善解人意;他说他会去跟小伙子说的,一定让他给你打电话。

黛安:(愤怒地高喊)什——么!

肖恩、海蒂:(齐声)老爸,你这是干什么呀。

父亲:  是吗?对,对,我想是。我又……弄糟了,是吗?

(灯光迅速暗下,旋即重新亮起。黛安独自站在舞台右前边沿。海蒂、肖恩自左前方上,走至舞台边。)

黛安:  你们能想象我觉得自己有多么丢人现眼吗?堂堂的优秀生,班主席。父亲竟然去求别人叫他们的儿子打电话来邀我跳舞!可这就是我那可爱的老爸。他其实挺可爱的。他    就是不好好想一想。不止我一个人深受他横加干预之苦。哦,绝非我一个人,我们兄妹三个整天提心吊胆,知道倒霉的事随时可能来临,因为:

黛安、海蒂、肖恩;(齐声)老爸英明!

(灯光暗下,旋即在舞台左侧重新亮起。舞台左侧摆放着一套办公桌椅和另外两张椅子。希金斯太太坐在办公桌旁办理本杰明·哈里森中学新生入学手续。海蒂和父亲坐在另外两张椅子上。)

希金斯太太:你是我们新来的学生,是吗?

父亲:  是的。

希金斯太太:你叫什么名字,小姐?

海蒂:海蒂·汤普森。

希金斯太太:我相信你一定会发现这里的同学们都挺友好。这里的老师也都乐意回答问题。

父亲:  您知道,她是个出类拔萃的姑娘。

海蒂:  爸爸!

父亲:  非常非常聪明!

希金斯太太:一定是的,现在你是不是能填一下….

父亲:  不知道她怎么会这么聪明。我想是她母亲的遗传。哦,我也不笨。可没法跟海蒂比。教过她的老师都对汤普森太太,就是她妈,还有我说,她差不多是最聪明的一个……

希金斯太太:(不耐烦地打断,但口气仍尽量和缓)我刚才说了,如果你有疫苗接种证明……

父亲:  (打断希金斯太太,沿着自己的思路讲下去)她不仅聪明,而且才华出众。

海蒂:  (双手置于胸前,搓拧着)行了,爸爸,别说了。

父亲:  啊,宝贝儿,我当然要说。我为你感到骄傲。我和你妈都为你感到骄傲。(转回身面向希金斯太太)嗳,就在去年,她初中最后一年,我们还没搬家的时候,海蒂在县里    每年一度的拼单词比赛中得了第一名!了不起吧?而且她钢琴也弹得美妙之极。简直就是仙乐。

海蒂:  爸爸,行了。求求你了,求求你了。爸爸,我得上课去了。我要去上课。请让我去上课吧。

父亲:  瞧见了没有?一个多么好学的学生。我想不出还有谁比我家海蒂更好学了。我的好姑娘。

希金斯太太:是的,嗯,不过……

海蒂  唉!唉!唉!

(黛安、肖恩从右前方上。两人望着海蒂、父亲和希金斯太太。)

海蒂、黛安、肖恩;(齐声喊)老爸,你这是干什么呀。

父亲:  呃,嗯,是吗?

代沟


与本单元开始的那场戏里的那位父亲不同,这里我们读到的是一位颇能设身处地为儿子着想的父亲。然而,正如默顿所描述的那样,要做到这点往往并非易事。
父亲未必英明
安德鲁·默顿


1983年11月25日,年仅23岁、缺乏临场经验的职业拳击手马维斯·弗雷泽在第一回合比赛打到2分57秒时被重量级世界冠军拉里·霍姆斯击倒。霍姆斯出左拳佯攻,弗雷泽防卫时右侧暴露。霍姆斯重拳出击,雨点般地连打19拳,弗雷泽挺着没有倒下。最后,在第一回合只剩三秒钟时,裁判叫停。当时,马维斯·弗雷泽的父亲兼经纪人、前重量级冠军乔·弗雷泽搂抱着儿子一遍遍地说:“没事儿。没事儿。我爱你。”

后来,有人批评他对儿子的实力估计过高,乔·弗雷泽回答说:“我知道自己在做什么。”(1)尽管事实清楚表明并非如此,但乔.弗雷泽还是坚信马维斯能继承他的衣钵成为冠军,他的荣耀能通过儿子继续下去。

(2)这种通常比硬把儿子推上拳坛要微妙得多的对不朽的追求是一件让人苦恼的事。这常常不过是在期待孩子亦步亦趋地重复自己的童年。

1983年7月,我儿子加布里埃尔4岁,并且已经有了强烈的年龄意识。事实上,他的许多行为是以年龄来界定的:“4岁的孩子会自己穿衣服/’或是:“我能比迈克跑得快。因为我4岁了,他才3岁。”  当时我想,一个4岁的孩子可以去看全美职业棒球赛了。于是,7月16日星期六,我开车带他去波士顿看红袜队与奥克兰A队的比赛。

那是个晴朗、炎热的日子——事实上那一天非常炎热,气温达到97度,创下了波士顿当天的最高记录——但没有下雨,这在波士顿是极为罕见的。我装了一大袋果蔬。加布在前往波士顿的90分钟的车程里一直在睡觉,这是个好征兆,看球时他就会有精神了。还有一个好征兆:我找到一个合法的免费泊车位+我俩进场时,加布显得兴致勃勃。他郑重其事地接受了我的建议先去厕所方便,这样在球赛当中我们就不必离开座位了。

当我们穿过体育场下的通道时,我想起了1952年在扬基体育场自己第一次看球赛的情景。当我和父亲走进阳光下的体育场时,那绿茵茵的巨大外场令我惊喜万分。一位名叫维克·拉希的投球手投出了一个又一个好球,扬基队球员乔·柯林斯击出一个本垒打,最后扬基队以3:2获胜。对手是历史悠久的费城竞技队,就是奥克兰队的前身。此刻,当我和加布走到阳光下,他第一次见到赛场时,我心中不由充满了喜悦与期待。加布没说话,但他一定也感受到了那份激动。

我俩找到了座位,在右外场侧面。位置不错,我们能看清场上的每一个部位。我俩提前了半小时入场,坐了下来看差不多就要结束的击球练习。加布说他饿了。我给了他一根胡萝十条,他开心地啃着。吃完了胡萝卜,他问我袋子里还有什么好吃的。我给了他一些葡萄,接着是一个苹果。在15分钟之内,他把袋子里的大多数食品都一扫而光。随后他说:“我想棒球已经看够了。现在我想回家。”

“可比赛还没开始呢,”我说。“你一点比赛还没看到呢。”

“看到了,我已经看到了。我想回家了。”

“那只是击球练习。你不想看正式比赛吗?”

“不想看。”

我想怎么着都得呆下去。难道我和儿子的这一天就这么毁了不成?

(3)但我还是比较明智,放弃了呆下去的念头,我很明白如果我坚持呆着不走,那他的一天就会因为爸爸想看球赛而过得十分扫兴。我情绪糟透了,让他骑在我的肩上,就在红袜队上场击球时走出了体育场。

“爸爸,我想吃冰淇淋,行吗?”

我不很情愿地给他买了个冰淇淋。我俩上了车,我开车退出那个宝贵的车位,仍然没有好气。他也很明白我不高兴;我能看到他脸上不安的神情,恐惧中夹杂着痛苦。我讨厌那副神情。可我没法摆脱自己恶劣的心境。我一点都不想开车回新罕布什尔去。

随后,在斯托罗街上,我瞥见波士顿科学博物馆,就在查尔斯河对岸。加布以前去过,而且很喜欢那个地方,不过一直到现在他还郑重其事地把它叫做“静默博物馆”。我压着一肚子火,勉强问了一句:“加布,你想不想去博物馆?”

“想,”他说。

博物馆里几乎就我们俩。当我俩穿过一个个凉爽舒适的展厅时,我心里不得不承认,自己是多么希望加布能像我一样。(4)他应该为了我,而不是为了他自己喜欢这场棒球赛,当他辜负了我的期望的时候,我便对他生气了。不是加布的行为不当,而是这种期待不近情理。因此,必须改变的是这种期待。

我还反思了我俩刚才的对峙:球场上所发生的一切,归根到底,是两种意志的对峙。他赢了。他坚持了自己认为是正确的做法。

我俩在博物馆里浏览,三个小时转眼就过去了,我们从不同的角度观看与实物一样大小的霸王龙,尝试宇航舱,造波浪,观看各种各样想象得出的展品。我也感到兴致勃勃。

儿子和父亲,两个人共同挽救了这一天——他坚持不放弃自己所喜欢的事物,而我,总算明智,最终认识到他是对的,并放弃了自己不切实际的幻想。

至少这一次是这样的。

后来我还想起了另一件事。我父亲带我去扬基体育场看棒球的时候,我是6岁,不是4岁。

也许再过一两年…
课后答案
Part I  Pre-Reading Task


Script for the recording:

Have you ever heard about the famous American folk musician Bob Dylan? Listen, he's about to sing you a song called The Times They Are A-changin':

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan

Come gather  round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you nave grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you

Appendix  I        - 105

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin' .

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don’ t speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it s namin’ .

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin' .

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin .

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin' .

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don t criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

- 106 -         Appendix  I

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-ckangin' .

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later he fast

As the present now

Will later he past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'.

And the first one now

Will later he last

For the times they are a-changin' .

The song you have just heard was also written by Bob Dylan when a young man in his early twenties. Like many a young man throughout the ages he felt misunderstood by his parents' genera­tion, a generation he was quite happy to blame for all the ills of the world. He saw a gap between young and old, a gap made wider by different attitudes to change, the young welcoming it, the old resisting it. But change is coming whether we like it or not, coming like a flood that no one can escape. So you had better:

...   admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon you'll he drenched to the hone.

For those whose job it is to comment on the news and to predict what will happen next, we live in interesting times.

Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again

Appendix  I         - 107 -

But they should not be too quick in predicting what is going to happen. The wheel of fortune is still spinning and those at the bottom of society may find themselves later rising up. And so:

...   don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin Ana there's no telling who That it' s naming For the loser now Will he later to win

Many of Dylan's early songs were, like this one, protest songs, songs aimed against injustice. And so he warns politicians not to stand in the way of those who are fighting for justice, a fight that will

...   soon shake your windows And rattle your walls.

He sees his parent's generation as too ready to criticize their children and unable to understand their hopes and dreams:

Come mothers and lathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you don't understand

Dylan sees the older generation's way of doing things as outdated. If they are unwilling to change their ways then they should step aside and let a new generation take over. As he says to them:

Your old road is

Rapidly a gin

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'

Mother:  Nancy, you've been home from school for three days now. Why don't you clean up your

room?

Nancy:  We don't have to clean up our rooms at school.

Mother:  That's all very well, Nancy. But while you're at home, your Dad and I would like you to

keep your room clean.

Nancy:  What difference does it make? It's my room.

Mother:  That's as may be, but you might give a thought to your father. He's frightened to death of the plague and now says if it is going to start anywhere in the country, it's going to start in

your room.

Nancy:  Mother, you people aren't interested in anything that's relevant. Do you realize how the

major corporations are polluting our environment?

Mother: Your father and I are very worried about it. But right now we're more concerned with the

pollution in your room.

Nancy:  For heaven's sake, Mother, I'm grown up now. Why do you have to treat me like a child? Mother: We're not treating you like a child. But it's very hard for us to think of you as an adult when

you go round throwing all your clothes on the floor.
