An Amusing ActingSome plays are so successful that they run(连续上演) for years on end. In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines(台词) night after night. One would expect them to know their parts by heart and heart and never have cause to falter(结结巴巴地说). Yet this is not always the case.
A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast(选……扮演角色) in the role of an aristocrat(贵族) who had been imprisoned(使监禁)in the Bastille for twenty yeas. In the last act, a gaoler (看守监狱者) would always come on to the stage with a letter he would hand to the prisoner. Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should he written out in full.
One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and reveatled the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow
actor(搭档) had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting(眯着眼看) his eyes, he said:“The light is dim. Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied:“The light is indeed dim, sire. I must get my glases.”With this , he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.
