Both are used especially to talk about people who write plays for the theatre, although they can also refer to writers for television or radio. Playwright is used equally to talk about modern writers and writers in the past; dramatist is used slightly more to talk about writers in the past, although you can also talk about modern dramatists. 這兩個詞在含義和用法上差别很小，均指劇作家，也可以指電視劇或廣播劇的編劇。playwright既可指現代作家，也可指過去的作家；dramatist略多用於指過去的作家，不過也可以說modern dramatist。■ screenwriter ˈskriːnraɪtə(r) [countable] a person who writes screenplays (= scripts for films and television dramas) 電影（或電視劇）劇本作家◆an Oscar-winning screenwriter一位奧斯卡獲獎編劇
