天外救星

古希腊戏剧《美狄亚》里的天外救星

天外救星是意料外的、突然的、牵强的解围角色、手段或事件,在虚构作品内,突然引入来为紧张情节或场面解围。近似词有天降神兵、有如神助等。

拉丁语词组Deus ex machina(英译:God from the machine)翻译自希腊语ἀπό μηχανῆς θεός(apò mēkhans theós),意思是机关跑出的神,中文一般翻译为「舞台机关送神」、「机械降神」、「机器神」、「解围之神」等。

在古希腊戏剧,当剧情陷入胶着,困境难以解决时,突然出现拥有强大力量的神将难题解决,令故事得以收拾、有个好结局。利用起重机或起升机的机关,将扮演神的下等演员载送至舞台上。这种表演手法是人为的,制造出意料之外的剧情大逆转。

Deus ex machina 天外救星

Deus ex machina in classical theatre: Euripides' Medea, performed in 2009 in Syracuse, Italy

Deus ex machina (Latin: [ˈdeʊs ɛks ˈmaː.kʰɪ.naː]: /ˈd.əs ɛks ˈmɑːknə/ or /ˈdəs ɛks ˈmæknə/; plural: dei ex machina) is a Latin calque fromGreekἀπὸ μηχανῆς θεός (apò mēkhanês theós), meaning "god from the machine". The term has evolved to mean a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object. Depending on how it is done, it can be intended to allow a story to continue when the writer has "painted himself into a corner" and sees no other way out, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or as a comedic device.
