沉默和停顿是哈罗德·品特戏剧语言的突出特点。这种戏剧风格并非源自品特,但品特将这种风格在他的作品中发挥到了极致,以至形成了一种品特式的沉默和停顿。品特戏剧中"言不达意",语言是一道道屏障,而沉默和停顿却蕴含着人物的真实意图。这种风格透露出一种刻骨的真实以及品特对生活透彻的观察。

Silence and pause are two distinguishing features in Harold Pinter＇s plays.This style does not originate from Pinter,but reaches it pinnacle under Pinter＇s pen.In his works,words do not convey ideas.Instead they become barriers,while silence and pause conceive the real intention of each character.Such a style reveals Pinter＇s penetrating truthfulness and insightful observation.
