野牛比尔的西大荒演出

1880年左右,野牛比尔开始创作一部名为「西大荒」的剧场表演;它很快就受到观众欢迎,而 剧中最着名的表演之一是演出安妮奥克莉的表演者她的真名是Phoebe Anne Oakley Moses,但因为她的射术精湛,故又名「小小神射手」;她能在三十步远的距离外,打纸牌的狭窄边缘或她老公法兰克巴特勒 (Frank Butler) 嘴上叼着的纸烟烟头;您认为西大荒演出还包含了那些项目呢?


In the 1880s Buffalo Bill started producing a theatrical spectacle called the Wild West show. It was wildly popular and one of the most famous acts in his show included a performer known as Annie Oakley. Her real name was Phoebe Anne Oakley Moses, but she was known as "Little Sure Shot" because she had such great aim. At 30 paces Annie Oakley could fire a gun and hit the edge of a playing card or the end of a cigarette held in the lips of her husband, Frank Butler. What other kinds of acts do you think were in the Wild West show?
