哈罗德·品特的戏剧不仅具有文本价值,还富于舞台效果,其第一部戏剧《房间》成功打开了人物内心的封闭空间,刻画人物内心的恐惧和焦虑。戏剧包括对话和舞台指令两部分,从语用文体学角度分析《房间》中舞台指令对人物焦虑症和戏剧主题揭示的效果和语用文体功能,发现罗斯大量的动作指令是戏剧主题语境"威胁"与"危机"的动态顺应,大量的非动作指令"暂停",是对戏剧语境的静态顺应,有利于理解剧作家创作的艺术手法,挖掘剧本舞台指令的语境意义和增强戏剧审美价值。

The plays of Harold Pinter are not only of textual value but also of stage effect. Pinter’s first play The Room,successfully opens the closed space inside the characters and depicts their inner fear and anxiety. Drama consists of two parts: dialogue and stage direction. This paper analyzes the effect of stage direction on exposing characters’ anxiety, the theme in drama and pragmatic stylistics function from the perspective of pragmatic stylistics. It is found that a large number of Ross’ s action instructions are the dynamic adaptation of "threat" and "crisis" in the drama theme context, and a large number of non-action instructions "pause" are the static adaptation to the drama context, which is to understand the artistic technique of the playwright’s creation and explore the contextual meaning of the script stage direction and strengthen the aesthetic value of the drama.
