註釋

A proud Russian family, reduced in circumstances after the death of the father, is faced with the prospect of losing the family estate and its beloved cherry orchard. Through careless generosity to others and a weakness for romantic ambitions, they find themselves on the brink of bankruptcy. The only hope offered for their salvation is the sale of the orchard and its subsequent removal in order to be leased for the construction of villas. Is the price too high? This is the subject of Anton Chekhov's enduring drama.No one understood as clearly and finely as Anton Chekhov, the tragedy of life's trivialities, no one before him showed men with such merciless truth the terrible and shameful picture of their life in the dim chaos of bourgeois every-day existence.
