笑坛争胜小议

On the Rivalry in the Laughing Circle

本文以文艺史上各艺术种类间的竞争消长为引论,从两方面阐述了当代笑坛上相声与小品闻的激烈竞争:1.竞争的文化背景——荧屏感染效应的出现,给小品的发展带来了机遇,同时也向相声提出了挑战.2.小品与相声竞争所用的手段竟然借鉴于相声——语言的魔力.所以,若相声能在语言功力上,从纵向继承与横向借鉴中求新出异,依然可在笑坛上争春斗俏.

The intense rivalry between comic dialogues and short farces is discussed. Two ideas are pre sented:(1) the artistic appeal effect of TV screen provides short farces,with favourable circum stances of development and gives comic dialogues a challenge; (2) the means by which short farces compete with comic diaogues come from their rival,that is to say,the magic power of lan guage.
