摘　　要：美国当代戏剧家约翰·尚利的力作《怀疑:一则寓言》一经搬上百老汇舞台,就深受好评,更获得2005年普利策戏剧奖。该剧围绕一件发生在天主教会学校的娈童风波展开,通过四位主人公之间时而压抑、时而激烈的对话,探讨了千百年来讳莫若深的伦理禁忌话题,展现了20世纪中叶那个宗教变革时代的波诡云谲。当信仰开始崩塌,每一个社会人都面临着伦理的选择,《怀疑》的破裂性结局喻示了深陷伦理困境的现代人的复杂性与悲剧性。Doubt： A Parable, by American playwright John Patrick Shanley, won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize（Drama）. Set against the backdrop of a Catholic school during an explosive time in American history, the play focuses on the gripping conflict between the strict principal Sister Aloysius and the popular parish priest Father Flynn, for Aloysius suspects Flynn of molesting the school＇s only African-American student. As Shanley subtitles his play ＂a parable＂, he seems to suggest that the commencement of religious change is the moment of doubt, and that every social being has to confront ethical choices. The fragmented ending indicates the complexity and tragedy of modern people＇s ethnical dilemma.
