Waiting for Godot
/ˌweɪtɪŋ fə ˈɡɒdəʊ/
/ˌweɪtɪŋ fər ɡəˈdəʊ/
- a play (1952) by Samuel Beckett, originally written in French. It is about two men, Vladimir and Estragon, who are waiting for a third, Godot, to arrive. Very little happens, and during their long wait the men talk about their lives. Godot never comes, and the play suggests that life has no meaning and is full of suffering. It is probably Beckett's best-known play and is often performed in the theatre.
等待戈多：塞缪尔·贝克特（Samuel Beckett）的戏剧（1952），最初是用法语写的。大约有两个人，弗拉基米尔（Vladimir）和埃斯特拉贡（Estragon），正在等待第三个人戈多（Godot）抵达。很少发生什么，在漫长的等待中，人们谈论了自己的生活。戈多（Godot）永远不会来，而戏剧暗示生活毫无意义，充满痛苦。这可能是贝克特最著名的戏剧，经常在剧院里表演。
