新三国 曹操一改奸雄形象（双语）

 

    在京剧表演中，曹操的脸谱通常是象征着狡诈的白脸。但是在最近播出的电视剧《三国》中，曹操从经典的奸雄形象变成了英雄。专家称，在这一转变预示着，在中国，人们的价值观正在发生变化。 CAO Cao in Peking Opera has a face painted white, which symbolizes "treachery". A recent TV drama the Three Kingdoms, however, turns the classic "bad guy" into a good guy. Behind this reinvention, experts say, is a changing value system in China.
   

    国人对曹操的评价主要源于明代小说家罗贯中所著的《三国演义》。在《三国演义》中，东汉王朝末年的宰相曹操，被描绘成一位阴险狡诈的叛国者。而蜀国的创建者刘备，与他的两位结义兄弟--关羽和张飞则是正面角色。三人联合起来试图复兴东汉王朝。 Chinese view of Cao Cao mainly comes from Ming Dynasty novelist Luo Guanzhong's The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the story, Cao Cao, a minister during the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is depicted as an evil conspirator. Meanwhile, Liu Bei, the founder of Shu kingdom, and his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are good guys who unite to revive the legitimate throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    武汉大学21岁的陈曦（音译）喜欢玩三国题材的游戏，但他从不扮演曹操这一角色。他说：“曹操是负面角色，我从小就知道。父母给我讲的第一个睡前故事告诉了我这一点。” Chen Xi, a 21-year-old at Wuhan University, likes to play Three-Kingdoms-themed games, but he never takes on the role of Cao Cao. "Cao is a bad guy. I knew it from the first bedtime story my parents told me," he said.

    然而，高希希导演的这部电视剧则讲述了一个新版的三国故事。曹操仍是诸侯，但他并非阴险狡诈，而是白手起家，力图名垂青史。 However, the new TV drama directed by Gao Xixi is putting a new spin on the story. Cao Cao is still a warlord, but he's no longer as treacherous. He starts from scratch and strives to leave his mark on history.

    专家称，这种对曹操性格特点的刻画，反映了目前在中国人们价值观的改变。 Experts say this depiction of Cao's character is a reflection of a changing value system in China.

    重庆大学中文系教授敖颐昌（音译）说：“这反映了人们在理解历史方面的进步，也反映了人们所持世界观的进步。长久以来，人们把好与坏分的泾渭分明--好人完美无缺；坏人一无是处。现在是时候去纠正对曹操不合理的评价了。”
