心比天高

More recently we've worked with professional Chinese opera artists in productions like Yue opera Hedda Gabler and Beijing opera Miss Julie , and are writing Yue opera Lady from the Sea , commissioned by Norway's Ibsen Theatre and Hangzhou Yue Opera Company. There seems to be another benefit resulting from this type of intercultural hybridism: to enrich the repertoire of traditional Chinese opera with more socially relevant stories, and with more psychologically complex characters.

近年来我们跟国内戏曲艺术家们搞的越剧《心比天高》、京剧《朱丽小姐》和正在为挪威易卜生剧院和杭州越剧院写的越剧《海上夫人》则让我们发现了这种嫁接的另一层意义：用更具现实社会意义的故事和更富有心理层次的新型角色来拓宽传统戏曲的视界。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
