百万英镑英语课文翻译
第一幕,第三场。
讲述人:那是1903年的夏天。一对年老而富有的兄弟,罗德里克和奥利弗,打了一个赌。奥利弗相信一个有一百万英镑的人能够在伦敦生活一个月。他的哥哥罗德里克怀疑这一点。就在这个时候,他们看了见一个一贫如洗的年轻人在他们房子外面的人行道上徘徊。他叫亨利 亚当斯。他在伦敦迷失了,也不知道该做些什么。
罗德里克:小伙子 你能进来一下吗? 亨利:谁?我吗。,先生? 罗德克里:是的,就是你。 奥利弗:从你的左边的前门进来。 亨利:(一个仆人打开门)谢谢。
仆人:早上好,先生。请进?请允许我来带路吧。
奥利弗:(亨利进来了)谢谢你,詹姆斯。这没你什么事了。 罗德克里:你好,先生……呃……? 亨利:亚当斯,亨利。亚当斯
罗德里克:过来坐下,亚当斯先生。…… 亨利:谢谢
罗德里克:你是美国人? 亨利:对,我来自旧金山。 罗德里克:你对伦敦了解的多吗?
亨利:一点也不了解,我是第一次来这。
罗德里克:亚当斯先生,不知你是否介意我们问你一些问题? 亨利:别客气,请问吧。
罗德里克:我们想问你在英国干什么,你有什么计划吗? 亨利:哦,我不能说我有什么计划,我只希望能找份工作。实际上,我是偶然来到英国的。
奥利弗:这怎么可能呢?
亨利:哦,你知道,我在家里有一条自己的船。大概一个月前,我正准备驶出海湾……
奥利弗:哦,接着说。
亨利:好的,夜幕降至,我发现刮起了强烈的风,这都是我的错。第二天早上,我还是迷失了方向,幸好有艘船发现了我。
奥利弗:那么就是那艘船带你来到英格兰了。
亨利:是的',事实上他们让我在船上帮工才免了我的船费,这就是我为什么会衣冠不整的原因了。我去美国大使馆求助,但是……
罗德里克:哦,你不必担心了,这也是你的优势。 亨利:先生,我不是很赞同你的观点。
罗德里克:亚当斯先生,对我们说说你在美国从事的工作。 亨利:我在船厂上班,你们能不能给我提供一份工作啊? 罗德里克: 别着急,亚当斯先生,如果你不介意,我想知道你还有多少钱?
亨利:说老实话,我没钱。 奥利弗:这太幸运了!这太幸运了!
亨利:这也许对你们来说很幸运,但是对我来说一点也不好。如果这一切不过是你们开的玩笑,我并不觉得很有趣。如果你们不介意的话我先走了。
罗德里克:请不要走,亚当斯先生。你千万不要觉得我们不在乎你。奥利弗,把信给他。
奥利弗:对,信,这是信。
亨利:给我的?
罗德里克:是给你的。不,现在不要拆,到下午两点再拆。
亨利: 这太滑稽了。
罗德里克:不滑稽,里面装着钱。
亨利:不,我不需要你们的施舍,我只需要一份工作。
罗德里克:我们知道很踏实,这也是我们把信交给你的原因。
詹姆斯,送亚当斯先生出去吧。
奥利弗:祝你好运。亚当斯先生。
亨利:你们为什么不告诉我这到底是怎么回事?
罗德里克:你很快就会知道的。还有一个半小时。
仆人:这边走先生。
罗德里克:亚当斯先生,到两点拆开,能保证吗?
亨利:我保证,再见。
《百万英镑》英文读后感
I knew Mark Twain when i was a middle school student. In my memory, there is an article in my English textbook that written by him. At that time, I pay no attention to Mark Twain. However, i knew more about him after I learned the History and Anthology of American Literature, he appeals to me dearly and deeply. As a result, I read a part of his novels in part time. Here I will introduce Million Pounds to you. Before that, I will give some information about Mark Twain to you. And last, it comes my though.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 ndash; April 21, 1910) was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer, better known by the pen name Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri and brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father"s death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother"s newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, "Mark Twain" was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym. He often uses exaggerated ways to show his irony.
Mark Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his life, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and European royalty. For I love the One Million Pounds Note best, I would introduce it to you.
Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kind of free lunch strikes the poor and honest young man Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers (Roderick amp; Oliver)。 As a matter of fact, the brothers had made a bet, if a poor, honest and clever people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, what will be happening to his life? The elder brother think that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money belongs to him, will be arousing others’ suspicion, and even the banks do not let him deposit the money. On the contrary, the younger brother believes that he would live in a very good life. So the brothers lend the one million pounds to Henry Adams, and spent 30 days abroad. From then on, Henry Adams becomes a bright focus of the money-priority society. Later, the lucky young man experiences two sharply different treatments in the tailor shop. In the ball, people from every social class try every chance to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Adams never has the chance to spend a penny because no one can change the million and he is soon living in a luxurious hotel suite, wearing expensive suits. No one asks him to pay bill, these are forwarded for later payment. He even gets the chance to go to the Party that held by Duke. Fortunately, Henry meets Jane Griffiths and fall in love with this beautiful woman. He also comes across his good friend. The man gives him some advice to earn money. 30 days has passed, Henry Adams asks his girlfriend company him to meet the brothers. Out of his expectation, his girlfriend is the daughter of one of the brothers. And finally he got a very good job from the brother. And he lived a very happy life.
Mark Twain"s short story of one million pounds note is a very good work. The article satires the thoughts of money is everything, money is omnipotent, and expose the ugly face of capitalist society. As we all know, the root of the story was the bet of the brothers. What is the bet actually? Where does the attraction of the bank note lie in?
As far as i am concerned, the One Million Pounds Note takes an interesting, satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The novel shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when they find out that you"re a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost. The story was based on the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the novel from being a mockery of the British society. The love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.
In my heart, Herry was so luckily, not everyone can get the chance to use the million. I am so envious of the lucky of the heroine, but at the same time I would like to think that the reason why people carry favor with him is just that they attract too much important to money, isn’t it? Money worship is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, and in the world, there are many things that more important than money
