周萍:Oh, I need to go ,I?m going to pack my things up .(周萍转身上楼)
(繁漪转身)
繁漪:Come back , please sit down for a moment .（周萍转身回来，和涟漪面对面）
周萍:What?s up ?
繁漪:I?ve something to say .I hope you can understand the situation just now.
it?s not a thing for one day .
周萍: Father is always like that, thing will be like what he said .
繁漪:But others say a word ,I have to follow .It is?nt my style .
周萍:I know you ,you?d better not hear his words.
繁漪:Ping, I hope you could be an honest man as you were. You know I?ve been ill without you.
周萍:So I need to go .we?d better not meet each other again so as to forget
the thing we regret most.
繁漪: I?m not regretgul .I never regret for what I have done .
周萍:I know I feel ashamed to meet you, I have?nt meet you these days ,I think you may know the reason well .
繁漪:Yes I know it well.
周萍:Well I?m the most stupid guy. I feel regretful .I think I?ve made a big mistake in my life .I fell sorry to myself ,still to my father.
繁漪:But you forget the one you are most sorry to.
周萍:The one dose exist, but I don?t need to tell you .
繁漪:It is?nt her.It?s me,your stepmother.
周萍:You?re crazy !
繁漪:You own me,you should take responsibilities to me.You can?t run away yourself after seeing a mew world .
周萍:I think it?s terrifying for you to use these words.These can?t be used in、、、、、、in our gentle family .
繁漪:Gentle ?The gentle ?I?ve been in such a gentle family for 18 years.As for the things the Zhou?s has done,I?ve heard, I ?ve met, I?ve done!But
I don?t belong to the Zhous after all.I?ll take responsibilities of what
I?ve done. I?m not like your grandpa ,uncle ,or your great father,who did so many terrifying things,and made others take the balme while preteding t be a gentlemen.
周萍:Fan,there are always someone who behaves improperly in a big family ,but except me .
繁漪:You are the same !Your father is a dishonest guy and he has tricked a girl before .
周萍:You could?t have said so.
繁漪:Your father is guilty to me .He trick me and took me to your family .I could not escape .More than ten years,as cruel as just now,and it made me into a stone -like being dead gradually.Y ou came here suddenly.It?s you that led me to a way unlike a mother or lover.It?s you!
周萍:Could you please not use this word!You don?t know what happened then.
繁漪:Y ou …ve forgotten this house,at midnight ,what did you say?While sighing ,you said you hate your father ,You said that you wished him to die though he?s your father .
周萍:Do you forget ?I was too young at that time.It?s my passion that drove me to say such stupid words.
繁漪:Do you forget that though I was only several years older than you at that time ,I was your mother at least.Do you know you should?nt have such words to me ?
周萍:Why won?t you forgive my mistakes for I was too young to be wise?
繁漪:This is not a problem about forgiving or not .I?ve prepared a coffin, waiting to die iin silence.But a man saved my life,and let me alone ,left me thirsty to die .So ,tell me ,what should I do?
周萍:I, I, I don?t know !Tell me !
繁漪:I hope you won?t go!
周萍:What? You want me to stay with you in such family thinking about things we?ve made everyday,and feel depressed till death?
繁漪:You know such a family could kill you,how could you get away with leaving me alone in this family ?
周萍:You don?t have right to say such words!You?re brother chong?s mother. 繁漪:I?m not, I?m not ! I care about nothing since I give you allamy life and fame.I? m not, I?m not ! I?m not his mother I?m not Zhou puyuan?s wife ,either!
周萍:Though you don?t think you?re my father?s wife,I still admit I?m my father …s son.
繁漪:Whatever you say,you are your father?s son.Your father?s son ?（ha ha ha、、、）you are both useless,coward men.I hate I did?nt know that before.
周萍:So you know it now !I?m sorry to you .I?ve explained concretely to you .I hate that unnatural relationship .I tell you I hate it !I?ll take my responsibilities .I admit my fault ,but you can?t take off the blame.I think your cleverest, and I know you best .So I guess you will forgive me .You can blame me for everything .I do hope it?s our last talk.
繁漪:Stop! I hope you could understand what I?ve said.I?m not begging you.I hope you can understand what I?ve said in this house.many ,so many words .
周萍:I have thought about it thoroughly. I?m very sad these days ,I supposed
you know.Now let mo go .
鲁贵：Just now the little servant came and said that the master was anxious for the raincoat .
繁漪:I will ask anti chen to send it.
（鲁贵留下，打扫卫生，鲁侍萍和四凤进）
四凤:Where is madam?
鲁贵:She …ll come immediately.
四凤：Mom,have s sit,Are you tired?
鲁侍萍：Never mind.
四凤:Mom、、、you don?t know that dad always bullies me when you …re not here !
鲁贵:Look at your poor manner!You always chat with each other but din?t concern about the luxurious house!Feng ,let your mom see your recent clothes.
四凤: Mom doesn?t like this !
鲁贵:You have some jewelry ,too ,right?Take it out and let your mother have a look.See, I was right .Do you still think it is right to keep your daughter home ?
鲁侍萍:When I left I had told you ,I didn?t want to send my daughter to a rich mansion,to let others order about.I?ve written to remind you these two years ,But you、、、Where is your brother?
四凤: Isn?t he waiting for us at the lodge?
鲁贵:No, he?s waiting for the master. Last year I asked someone to tell you
that Dahai has come the foreman of the mine.That?s all my credit.
四凤:Dad ,please go to see my brother.He?s a little impulsive,I?m afraid he will become anxious and in conflict with others.
鲁贵:God ,I?ve almost forgot his bad temper.You can stay here and have a rest, Madam will come immediately.
鲁侍萍:My dear, let me have a good look at you.
四凤:Mom ,you won?t blame me,right?For my violating your words and working in the mansion.
鲁侍萍;No ,don?t mind.
四凤:Mum,I was afraid you would get angry and sad,so I didn?t dare to let you know.In fact,mum,we are not in rich;it doesn?t matter for me to serve others.
鲁侍萍:N o ,do you think I?m afraid of being poor?Or afraid of being laughed at by others?No ,my dear,I?m resigned my fate .But ,you, my girl,I?m afraid that you will get confused because you?re too young.I?ve suffered a lot ,I know all that.But you don?t don?t know that the world is too 、、、People?a hearts are too、、、Feng~It seems that I?ve seen this room somewhere before.
四凤:Mum ,what?a wrong with you?
鲁侍萍:Nothing serious ,I?ve just heard that there are two lards?
四凤:Yes ,Mum,they?re both very kind.
鲁侍萍:No,my daughter can?t stay here any more ,never!
四凤:Mum ,what did you say? The people here are all very friendly to
me .The Master and Madam never shout at us ,the two lords are kind ,too.The Zhou are all very kind, whether alive or dead.
鲁侍萍:Zhou?
四凤:Mum ,How could you forget how you get there ?I got it ,you must be tired.Let me show the photo of the first Madam.Then I?ll give you a cup of water.(四凤那照片给鲁侍萍看)Look，Mum?How beautiful she is !The all said I was a bit like her .By ,she has died,what a pity!(鲁侍萍看着照片里的自己，晕倒过去)Mum,What?s wrong with you?
鲁侍萍:No,no,I felt dizzy .I want to drink some water
四凤:Mum ,have a rest .I?ll fetch some water.

周朴园:Calm down!Both of us have children now.Though you feel wronged,So can we not be sobbing(哭哭啼啼).
鲁侍萍:Sob?Heng,my tears has already run out.It?s hate and regret that I have now.It?s bitterness I have gone through in the past 30 years.You might have forgotten what you have done !30years ago .On the mew year?s Eve,I had given birth to your second son for only 3 days ,You
forced us to leave your home in order that you can marry the rich woman.You drove us out of your house when was,it was snowing heavily outside.
周朴园:Everything has changed .Nothing is worth mentioning.
鲁侍萍:That was everything about you going smoothly,and now you are also the social good character.But since I have been out of your house,I din?t die.My mother died soon.Unexpectedly ,Your family members forced me to leave my two children here .
周朴园:Haven?t you taken our second son with you ?
鲁侍萍:Your grandma thought the one was dying,So she asked me to take him away.Oh ,god!I feel I?m dreaming.
周朴园:I think the things has passed,needn?t to be reminded of .
鲁侍萍:I wish to mention ,I?ve made it secret for 30 years.You had married and moved.And I thought I would never meet you again.But my children went to your house one by one doing what I used to do .It seems as if it was designed by God.
周朴园:No wander sifeng looks so like you.
鲁侍萍:I waited on you and my children ,wait on your young master.It is my retribution ,my retribution .
周朴园:B o conscious!Do you think my heart is as hard as stone?Do you think I will forget what I?m reluctant to do?Look at the furniture,It?s all you like ,I have kept them for 30 years to remember for you.I always remember you birthday ~April 18th.I treat you as if you had married
me.For example ,I know you got sick after giving birth to ping.I know the window should be closed,I?ve kept the habit for 30 years to remember you.
鲁侍萍:Now ,we are old ,don?t say such silly words again .
周朴园:It is better now,So we can talk with you calmly.
鲁侍萍:But I think there?s no need for you to talk with me.
周朴园:There are many words.I think your personality is still what used to be.But Lu Gui looks like a unreliable person.
鲁侍萍:You can?t understand it .He will never know that.
周朴园:It?s good for us.And I want to know where is my second son you took with?
鲁侍萍::He works with your mine.

周朴园:OK. Let?s be outspoken.How much money do you want?
鲁侍萍:What?
周朴园:To support you later life.

周朴园:Well,then,where are the other three representatives?
鲁大海:To tell you the truth,they are now contacting other worker unions
周朴园:Oh,didn?t they tell you other things?
鲁大海:It?s none of your business.I just want to know what you mean.Sometimes soft ,sometimes hard,what?s the matter?（周萍下楼，看见周朴园与鲁大海谈话，欲走）
周朴园:Don?t go ,Ping

鲁大海:Well.I understand all your tricks.You just wan to delay time to buy a few shameless scrums and hold us temporarily
周朴园:Your insight is reliable.
鲁大海:But you are completely wrong.We are united and organized in this strike.We representatives don?t aim to beg you this time .Listen carefully ,we woon?t beg you.No matter you allow r not ,we will have been on strike in the end.We know that your mine will be closed in less than 2 months.

周朴园:Ok, I?ll give you something to see.(拿出一张电报，递给鲁大海)This is a telegram from the mine yesterday（鲁大海拿过电报看完）鲁大海:What ?They have started work!No-no！
周朴园:The workers resumed yesterday morning,but you ,as a representative, shouldn?t have known that.
鲁大海:Then won?t the police that shot 30 workers to death be sentenced?Well ,this is fake.You made a telegram to strange us.
周萍:Who are you？
周朴园:You shouldn?t interrupt.Do you really believe in your representatives
so much ?
鲁大海:Needless to say more,I know your intention of these words.
周朴园:Well,have a look at the contract for return -to work.
鲁大海:Ar you kidding?The contract without signatures of our representatives is not effective.
周朴园:Well, contract!(仆人递上合同)Look,this is the contract the three signed.
鲁大海:What？They have signed,They signed it without telling me.So they ignore me now?
周朴园:Yes ,fool, you can?t just shout without experience
鲁大海:They cheated me ,guys without backbones .They betrayed the miners.Well,all you shameful chairman,and your money works again this time.
周萍: You bastard！
周朴园:Shut up！You are not qualified to talk to me any more ,you have been fired.
鲁大海:I?m fired?
周萍:Dad,this is unfair.
周朴园:Shut up !Go out !

周朴园:Go out!
仆人们:Go ,go!
鲁大海:You are bastard,let go if me.I would say that you deliberately drowned 2200 of workers;you buckle 300yuan from every laborer?s life!Zhou Puyuan,you?re earing the money that will stop your future sons and grandsons bearing!(周萍冲向鲁大海，扇他一耳光)
周萍:You are such a bastard thing .Beat him!(仆人们收拾鲁大海)
周朴园:Don?t hit him!
鲁大海:Let me go, you and your group of bandits
周萍: Pull him down.
(鲁侍萍上前拦住仆人们)
鲁侍萍:You are、、、How can you hit my son
