美国文化介绍
美国文化介绍
我们在学英语的过程中，无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们，学习一种语言，不只要学其语言，还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧！
1．有些人认为美国对戏剧的最大贡献是有了音乐喜剧（musicals）。这种表演形式是借助音乐、歌词以及舞蹈来叙述故事。受欢迎的美国音乐喜剧有：Oklahoma！ （1943）， My Fair Lady（1956）， Hello， Dolly！（1964）和 A ClorusLine（1975）。所有这些音乐喜剧都在百老汇上演过。
2．美国各大都市都以各具特色的文化艺术活动为自豪，尤其纽约素为艺术之都，丰富的文化活动内容，让全世界的文艺爱好者心响往之。第五大道百老汇，一向是正统表演艺术的试金石，一出高水平的戏，往往能连演数年，仍然盛极不衰。另外，纽约也是各种新艺术的实验地，例如“外百老汇”（off-Broadway），甚至“外外百老汇”（Off-Off Broadway）的实验剧（experimental theater）大胆创所，苏荷（Soho）各国现代艺术家们各形各色的自由表现，都大大丰富了美国文化的内涵。
背景介绍
林肯表演艺术中心(Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts)
纽约十大剧院第二位
林肯表演艺术中心位于西部62街和66街之间的哥伦布和阿姆斯特丹林荫道上，由几座建筑物统一合成——包括音乐厅，戏剧厅，歌剧厅，舞蹈厅。整个项目从1962年到1968年历时6年，由Wallace K. Harrison设计完成。即使这座建筑在结构上采用比较保守的形式，整个建筑仍然围绕一个开放的，友好使用的广场而建。
Located between west 62nd to west 66th Streets and Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is comprised of a unity of several buildings--all of travertine--devoted to the performance of music, theater, opera, and dance. The overall project was directed by Wallace K. Harrison and completed between 1962 and 1968. The buildings surround an open, user-friendly plaza, even though the buildings are generally conservative in style
Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline hosts a large variety of cultural events, including film screenings, comedy shows, and theatrical productions. Aiming to create a center for the arts, Carnegie Hall has committed to provide all types of performing arts to the Dunfermline area. Check their website for details on upcoming events and ticketing information.
百老汇（Broadway），原意为“宽阔的街”，指纽约市中以巴特里公园为起点，由南向北纵贯曼哈顿岛，全长25公里的一条长街。百老汇大街两旁分布着几十家剧院，在百老汇大街44街至53街的剧院称为内百老汇，而百老汇大街41街和56街上的剧院则称为外百老汇，内百老汇上演的是经典的、热门的、商业化的剧目，外百老汇演出的是一些实验性的、还没有名气的、低成本的剧目，但这种区分在近年来也越来越淡化，于是又出现了“外外百老汇”，其观点当然也就更新颖更先锋了。
百老汇是纽约曼哈顿区一条大街的名称，其中段一直是美国商业性戏剧娱乐中心，因而百老汇这一词汇已成为美国戏剧活动的同义语。世界上还没有一条街道像百老汇大道（Broadway）那样使人充满幻想。而今百老汇大道是美国现代歌舞艺术、美国娱乐业的代名词。每年，都有几百万的来自世界各地的游客到纽约欣赏百老汇的歌舞剧。 百老汇大道英文直译为“宽街”。这条大道早在1811年纽约市进行城市规划之前就已存在，其中心地带是在第42街“时报广场”附近，周围云集了几十家剧院。
