萧伯纳(George Bernard Shaw,1856年7月26日-1950年11月2日),爱尔兰剧作家,1925年因作品具有理想主义和人道主义而获诺贝尔文学奖,是英国现代杰出的现实主义戏剧作家,是世界著名的擅长幽默与讽刺的语言大师。他的戏剧性语言尖锐泼辣,充满机智,妙语警名脱口而出。他的最著名的剧作有:《鳏夫的房产》、《华伦夫人的职业》、《武器与人》、《真相毕露》等。其喜剧作品《卖花女》(Pygmalion)因被 Alan Lerner 改编为音乐剧《窈窕淑女》(My Fair Lady),该音乐剧又被好莱坞改编为同名卖座电影而家喻户晓。 他的一些经典名言让我们可以窥见他的睿智、风趣和刻薄。
