求老舍茶馆的英文剧本

This is one of the famous dramas by Lao She. The drama is set in a typical, old Beijing teahouse and follows the lives of the owner and his customers through three stages in modern Chinese history. The play spans fifty years and has a cast of over sixty characters drawn from all levels of society. Brought together in Yutai Teahouse, they reflect the changes that took place in Chinese society.

The strength and appeal of the play lie in part in Lao She's masterful recreation of the characters and language of the streets of old Beijing, but the center of its strength is Lao She's vision, his unerring choice of significant detail, and his familiarity with the old society he is describing, with its strengths, weaknesses, and ironies. It is this which carries Teahouse beyond the borders of social criticism and makes it a complex and living work of art. Written in 1957, Teahouse bids an inspired, lingering farewell to old Beijing and the old society, despite their evils and ills, and extends a passionate welcome to the new society with its promise of freedom and equality of the people.

Standing as it does between old and new China, and deeply rooted in both, Teahouse shimmers with a fine sense of ambivalence. True to its writer, to China, and to its time, it is a masterpiece of modern theater.

在满清王朝即将灭亡的年代，北京的裕泰茶馆却依然一派“繁荣”景象：提笼架鸟、算命卜卦、卖古玩玉器、玩蝈蝈蟋蟀者无所不有。
年轻精明的掌柜王利发，各方照顾，左右逢源。然而，在这个"繁荣"的背后隐藏着整个社会令人窒息的衰亡：洋货充斥市场、农村破产、太监买老婆、爱国者遭逮捕。
到了民国初年，连年不断的内战使百姓深受苦难，北京城里的大茶馆都关了门，唯有王掌柜改良经营，把茶馆后院辟成租给大学生的公寓，正厅里摆上了留声机。尽管如此，社会上的动乱仍波及茶馆：逃难的百姓堵在门口，大兵抢夺掌柜的钱，侦缉队员不时前来敲诈。
又过了三十年，已是风烛残年的王掌柜，仍在拼命支撑着茶馆。日本投降了，但国民党和美帝国主义又使人民陷入了内战的灾难。吉普车横冲直撞，爱国人士惨遭镇压，流氓特务要霸占王掌柜苦心经营了一辈子的茶馆。王利发绝望了。这时，恰巧来了两位五十年前结交的朋友，一位是曾被清廷逮捕过的正人君子常四爷，一位是办了半辈子实业结果彻底垮了台的秦二爷。三位老人撒着捡来的纸钱，凄惨地叫着、笑着。最后只剩下王利发一人，他拿起腰带，步入内室，仰望屋顶，寻找安然了结一生的地方。
