Unit10Money[导读]《百万英镑》是马克·吐温著名的讽刺小说的代表作。作者用漫画的笔法勾勒了不同人物在“百万英镑”面前的种种丑态，幽默滑稽，趣味横生，就如同一幅世态讽刺画，令人忍俊不禁；作者还无情地揭露了资本主义社会金钱至上的残酷现实，也透射出整个社会的悲哀。THEMILLIONPOUNDBANKNOTEActⅠ，Scene3NARRATOR：Itisthesummerof1903.Twooldandwealthybrothers，RoderickandOliver，havemadeabet.OliverbelievesthatwithamillionpoundbanknoteamancouldsurviveamonthinLondon.HisbrotherRoderickdoubtsit.Atthismoment，theyseeapennilessyoungmanwanderingonthepavementoutsidetheirhouse.ItisHenryAdams，anAmericanbusinessman，whoislostinLondonanddoesnotknowwhatheshoulddo.RODERICK：Youngman，wouldyoustepinsideamoment，please?HENRY：Who？Me，sir?RODERICK：Yes，you.OLIVER：Throughthefrontdooronyourleft.HENRY：(Aservantopensadoor)Thanks.SERVANT：Goodmorning，sir.Wouldyoupleasecomein？Permitmetoleadtheway，sir.OLIVER：(Henryenters)Thankyou，James.Thatwillbeall.RODERICK：Howdoyoudo，Mr...er...?HENRY：Adams.HenryAdams.OLIVER：Comeandsitdown，MrAdams.HENRY：Thankyou.RODERICK：You'reanAmerican?HENRY：That'sright，fromSanFrancisco.RODERICK：HowwelldoyouknowLondon?HENRY：Notatall.It'smyfirsttriphere.RODERICK：Iwonder，MrAdams，ifyou'dmindusaskingafewquestions.HENRY：Notatall.Gorightahead.RODERICK：Mayweaskwhatyou'redoinginthiscountryandwhatyourplansare?HENRY：Well，Ican'tsaythatIhaveanyplans.I'mhopingtofindwork.Asamatteroffact，IlandedinBritainbyaccident.OLIVER：Howisthatpossible?HENRY：Well，yousee，backhomeIhadmyownboat.Aboutamonthago，Iwassailingoutofthebay...(hiseyesstareatwhatisleftofthebrothers'dinneronthetable)OLIVER：Well，goon.HENRY：Oh，yes.Well，towardsnightfallIfoundmyselfcarriedouttoseabyastrongwind.Itwasallmyfault.Ididn'tknowwhetherIcouldsurviveuntilmorning.ThenextmorningI'djustaboutgivenmyselfupforlostwhenIwasspottedbyaship.OLIVER：AnditwastheshipthatbroughtyoutoEngland.HENRY：Yes.ThefactisthatIearnedmypassagebyworkingasanunpaidhand，whichaccountsformyappearance.IwenttotheAmericanembassytoseekhelp，but...(Thebrotherssmileateachother.)RODERICK：Well，youmustn'tworryaboutthat.It'sanadvantage.HENRY：I'mafraidIdon'tquitefollowyou，sir.RODERICK：Tellus，MrAdams，whatsortofworkdidyoudoinAmerica？HENRY：Iworkedforaminingcompany.Couldyouoffermesomekindofworkhere?RODERICK：Patience，MrAdams.Ifyoudon'tmind，mayIaskyouhowmuchmoneyyouhave?HENRY：Well，tobehonest，Ihavenone.OLIVER：(happily)Whatluck！Brother，whatluck！(clapshishandstogether)HENRY：Well，itmayseemluckytoyoubutnottome！Onthecontrary，infact.Ifthisisyourideaofsomekindofjoke，Idon'tthinkit'sveryfunny.(Henrystandsuptoleave)Nowifyou'llexcuseme，IthinkI'llbeonmyway.RODERICK：Pleasedon'tgo，MrAdams.Youmustn'tthinkwedon'tcareaboutyou.Oliver，givehimtheletter.OLIVER：Yes，theletter.(getsitfromadeskandgivesittoHenrylikeagift)Theletter.HENRY：(takingitcarefully)Forme?RODERICK：Foryou.(Henrystartstoopenit)Oh，no，youmustn'topenit.Notyet.Youcan'topenituntiltwoo'clock.HENRY：Oh，thisissilly.RODERICK：Notsilly.There'smoneyinit.(callstotheservant)James?HENRY：Oh，no.Idon'twantyourcharity.Ijustwantanhonestjob.RODERICK：Weknowyou'rehardworking.That'swhywe'vegivenyoutheletter.James，showMrAdamsout.OLIVER：Goodluck，MrAdams.HENRY：Well，whydon'tyouexplainwhatthisisallabout?RODERICK：You'llsoonknow.(looksattheclock)Inexactlyanhourandahalf.SERVANT：Thisway，sir.RODERIC...
