湘剧《活捉三郎》节选

An excerpt from the Xiang opera Haunting an Ex-lover

居然还有人不知道什么是“鬼步”？那今天就浅浅来个鬼步大揭秘吧！

OMG！There are someone who don’t know the “ghost step”? Let’s get it revealed then!

鬼步的动作要领是，后脚跟离地，重心落于脚尖，小步向前。

The key to the “ghost step” is to get your heels off the ground, put all your weight on the toes, and take small moves forward.

鬼步是一种模仿女鬼出场的步法，也是我国传统艺术戏曲里的一种绝活。鬼步之难，在于行动时需要极强的核心力量，使上身保持纹丝不动，而下身则全靠脚尖力量，使人稳步行走于方寸之间，令观众产生一种鬼在飘的感觉。要达到这种效果，需要戏曲演员们日复一日地不断练习。

The “ghost step”, namely a step imitating the ghosts’ “walking” style, is a unique performing technique of Chinese traditional opera. It’s no easy task, as it requires extremely strong core strength to keep the upper body motionless, while the legs relies entirely on the strength of the toes, allowing one to walk inch by inch steadily, thus producing the effect that the audience feel as if they had seen a floating ghost. To do that successfully, the actors or actresses need to practice repeatedly day after day.
