She Stoops to Conquer
/ʃi ˌstuːps tə ˈkɒŋkə(r)/
/ʃi ˌstuːps tə ˈkɑːŋkər/
- the best-known play (1773) by Oliver Goldsmith. It is a comedy based on a misunderstanding (= failure to understand something correctly). Marlow, a shy young man, goes with a friend to visit the Hardcastle family because their parents hope that he and Miss Hardcastle will marry. The friends get lost on the way and look for an inn (= a pub that is also a small hotel) but actually arrive at the Hardcastles' house. Most of the humour comes from the way Marlow treats the family when he thinks that their house is an inn and that Miss Hardcastle is a servant.
她弯腰征服：奥利弗·戈德史密斯（Oliver Goldsmith）最著名的戏剧（1773）。这是一部基于误解的喜剧。害羞的年轻人马洛（Marlow）和朋友一起去看望哈德卡斯尔一家，因为他们的父母希望他和哈德卡斯尔小姐能够结婚。朋友在途中迷路了，寻找一家旅馆（一家酒吧也是一家小旅馆），但实际上却到达了Hardcastles的家。大部分幽默来自马洛对待家人的方式，当他认为他们的房子是旅馆，而哈德卡斯尔小姐是仆人时。
