术语“小唱”的详细信息

英译术语:

mini melody

汉语语境:

宋词主要的演唱者，是职业化与专业化的歌妓。演唱环境与地点，主要集中在公私宴集等娱乐环境和酒店茶楼歌馆妓院等娱乐场所。宋人公私宴集，都有歌妓唱词侑觞。酒楼茶馆和妓院，既有职业的歌妓长期驻店演唱，也有临时赶场的。歌妓在宴集中唱谁写的词，唱什么内容的词，一般由宴集主人选定：或唱主人自作新词，或唱客人所作新词。宋词的演唱方式有多种，其中唱小令慢曲的“小唱”最为普遍流行。歌妓唱词，既促进了宋词的创作和发展，又制约着宋词的题材取向和风格基调的形成。

英语语境:

The principal performers of the Song ci-poetry were occupational and professional singsong girls. The performing environments and spots were mainly concentrated in the public and private banquet gatherings or some recreational and amusement place, such as wine shops, teahouses, singsong houses, brothels, etc. People in the Song dynasty used to summon singsong girls to entertain quests in the public and private banquet gatherings. There were both professional female singers who had long-termed contracts with the wine shops, teahouses, singsong houses or brothels, and others who came on the rush to give temporary performances there. Whose words (ci-poetry) would be song, what contents of words might be, were generally decided by the hosts of the banquet gatherings. There were a variety of expressive patterns in Song ci-poetry, of which mini melody such as“small ditty” and “slow melody” were widespread. With the result of female singers singing the words of Song ci-poetry, it was well developed in the Song dynasty, and its thematic orientation and stylistic foundation were as well generally set.
