书籍简介

古希腊人流传着雕塑家皮格马利翁的传奇故事，他塑造了一个美貌绝伦的女人雕像，并爱上了自己的作品。后来，阿佛洛狄忒可怜这个男人，因为他的爱无法超越石头的屏障，于是赋予雕像生命，并把她送给了皮格马利翁做新娘。

几个世纪后，萧伯纳在他知名的浪漫剧作《卖花女中捕捉到了这个传奇的魔力。皮格马利翁变成了语音学教授亨利·希金斯，他的雕像是来自伦敦街头的未受过教育的卖花女，他们之间的障碍是他们社会地位的差异。

在《我的窈窕淑女》中，艾伦·杰伊·勒纳将这个传奇更进一步——障碍被扫除，希金斯和伊丽莎重逢，我们这个时代美丽的音乐剧之一落幕了——这部音乐剧凭借百老汇原版赢得了七项托尼奖，并凭借电影改编赢得了七项奥斯卡奖。

The ancient Greeks tell the legend of the sculptor Pygmalion, who created a statue of a woman of such surpassing beauty that he fell in love with his own creation. Then, Aphrodite, taking pity on this man whose love could not reach beyond the barrier of stone, brought the statue to life and gave her to Pygmalion as his bride.

Centuries later, George Bernard Shaw captured the magic of this legend in his celebrated romantic play, Pygmalion. Pygmalion became Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, his statue an untutored flower girl from the streets of London, and the barrier between them the difference in their stations in life.

In My Fair Lady, Alan Jay Lerner takes the legend one step further—the barrier is swept away and Higgins and Eliza are reunited as the curtain falls on one of the loveliest musical plays of our time—winning seven Tonys® for its original Broadway production, and seven Oscars® for its film adaptation.

作者简介

by Alan Jay Lerner (Author), George Bernard Shaw (Author)

萧伯纳，全名乔治·伯纳德·萧（George Bernard Shaw，1856年7月26日—1950年11月2日），爱尔兰剧作家。1925年因作品具有理想主义和人道主义而获诺贝尔文学奖，他是英国现代杰出的现实主义戏剧作家，是世界知名的擅长幽默与讽刺的语言大师，同时他还是积极的社会活动家和费边社会主义的宣传者。他支持妇女的权利，呼吁选举制度的根本变革，倡导收入平等，主张废除私有财产。

萧伯纳的一生，是和社会主义运动发生密切关系的一生。他认真研读过《资本论》，公开声言他“是一个普通的无产者”，“一个社会主义者”。他主张艺术应当反映迫切的社会问题，反对“为艺术而艺术”。其思想深受德国哲学家叔本华及尼采的影响，而他又读过马克思的著作，不过他却主张用渐进的方法改变资本主义制度，反对暴力革命。

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950), known at his insistence as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

艾伦·杰伊·勒纳（1918 年 8 月 31 日 - 1986 年 6 月 14 日）是美国作词家和剧本作家。他与弗雷德里克·洛伊以及后来的伯顿·莱恩合作，创作了一些世界上受欢迎且经久不衰的音乐剧作品，既有舞台剧也有电影。勒纳曾获得三项托尼奖和三项奥斯卡奖等荣誉。

Alan Jay Lerner (August 31, 1918 – June 14, 1986) was an American lyricist and librettist. In collaboration with Frederick Loewe, and later Burton Lane, he created some of the world's most popular and enduring works of musical theatre both for the stage and on film. Lerner won three Tony Awards and three Academy Awards, among other honors.
