RODERICK How well do you know London
罗德里克：你对伦敦了解的多吗？
HENRY Not at all. It’s my first trip here.
亨利：一点也不了解，我是第一次来这。
RODERICK I wonder, Mr Adams, if you’d mind us asking a few questions.

HENRY Go right ahead.
亨利：别客气，请问吧。
RODERICK May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are?
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。
OLIVER How is that possible?
奥利弗：这怎么可能呢？
HENRY Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About a month ago I was sailing out of the bay－(his eyes stare at what is left of the brother’s dinner on the table)
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……RODERICK Well, go on.
奥利弗：哦，接着说。
HENRY Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. I did not know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning I’d just about given myself up for lost when I was spotted by a ship.
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。
OLIVER And it was the ship that bought you to England.
奥利弗：那么就是那艘船带你来到英格兰了。
HENRY I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. (the brothers smile at each other)
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……
RODERICK Well, you mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.
罗德里克：哦，你不必担心了，这也是你的优势。
HENRY I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you, sir.
亨利：先生，我不是很赞同你的观点。
RODERICK Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America?
罗德里克：亚当斯先生，对我们说说你在美国从事的工作。
HENRY I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me some kind of work here?
亨利：我在船厂上班，你们能不能给我提供一份工作啊？
RODERICK Patience, Mr Adams. If you don’t mind, may I ask you how much money you have?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？
HENRY Well, to be honest, I have none.
亨利：说老实话，我没钱。
OLIVER (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck!(claps his hands together) 奥利弗：这太幸运了！这太幸运了！
HENRY Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me. If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. (Henry stands up to l eave)Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll be on my way.
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。
RODERICK Please don’t go, Mr Adams.You mustn’t think we don’t care about you. Oliver, give him the letter.

百万英镑英文观后感 篇一：The Million Pound Note This time I want to talk about a very famous short story written by Mark Twain---------“The Million Pound Note”. Referring to Mark Twain, you must feel familiar, because we must have read his works before. I still remember the article “ The Bite Events on the Train” in our textbook when I’m in the middle school. What touched me most at that time were his ironic words. Yes, he is a great humorist, novelist, writer and orator in America in nineteenth century. During his 40 years’ writing career, he created dozens of short or long stories. This story tells about a poor but honest American Adam Henry. When he was wandering in the street of London, he was given by two billionaires a letter, in which he surprisedly found a ￡1,000,000 pound bank-note. Later he got to know that the two billionaires who were brothers had made a bet about the results after he got a one million-pound note at once. One of them thought the note wound count for nothing to the poor man because he could not prove that the money was his own while the other considered just as the opposite. Dramatically, the plot went just out of my expectation. Herry went to a restaurant to have dinner first. The manager was mean to him at the beginning but his attitude changed quickly when Herry took out the note and asked for change. Faced with a millionaire, the manager apologized again and again and obsequiously told Herry that he didn’t need to pay for the bill right now. So Herry managed to have a free dinner. Then similarly, Herry went to a clothing shop and got a suit of clothes costing him nothing. Like the plot above, people are curious of such a rich man and tried every means to cozy up to him, from free food， free clothes to free accommodation. At the same time, his social status was becoming higher and higher and finally higher than most dukes. Apart from that, he later got a beautiful wife and 200,000 pounds of bank interest. I can imagine a bright future was waiting for him. The writing style of this story is so humorous. Mark Twain used hyperbole describing how our hero defeated snobbishness repeatedly. What I appreciate most is the detailed description of different people’s ridiculous actions before one million pounds, vivid, funny, ironic and humorous, which forms a Caricature. In terms of the theme, it is apparent that the author wanted to denounce the overflowing mammonism in the society. Even now it gives us an impressive lesson. Yes, I cannot deny the importance of money to a person who wants to survive. We won’t live without money, with which we get food, clothes, house and many
百万英镑One Million Pound Bank Note剧本 Chapter1: 第一幕 （旁白）One day, two old brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it. The brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything. Just then Henry came along. Henry: (I was so hungry.)(狼狈样） Brother A: Young man, come here, please. （窃喜） Brother B: Could I ask you some questions?（窃喜） Henry: Of course, sir. Brother A: What do you do?（焦急） Henry:I’m a mining-broker's clerk in San Francisco. Brother B: Why are you staying here? Henry: My time was my own after the afternoon board. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig which was bound for London. And now, I have nothing in my pocket.（可怜兮兮）Brother A: Great! （惊喜） Henry: G reat? I can’t understand you, sir.（疑惑） Brother B:I’m sure you will understand very soon. Here is an envelope（信封）.（神秘）Henry:what’s th is? (说着，我就要打开) Brother B: no, no, no, there is some money, but you wouldn’t open it until 2:00pm. （这期间，俩兄弟边交谈边吃纸袋里的零食，Henry不断瞟着这些美味，实在忍不住了，）Henry: Could I have some? Brother A: O f course. oh, sorry. It’s empty.（他在袋子里吹了口气，然后砸烂。—确实空了。）This way, please. Chapter2: 第二幕 （旁白）Henry came into the nearest cheap eating house. （我进了一家饭店。没人答理我，Henry随便找了张桌子坐下） Waiter: This seat. (Henry只好换了张桌子。) Waiter: What would you like? Henry: Two big bowls of beef noodles, and a big cup of beer.(Henry很快吃完了，问另一位顾客：) Henry: E xcuse me, what’ s the time ,please? Customer: 1:00 Henry: Waiter, please give me another cup of beer, a bowl of beef noodles. Waiter: Here is your bill. Henry: Yes, sir. But what time is it? Waiter:1:45. what’ up? Henry: Just wait a minute. (Henry磨蹭了一会儿，估计时间到了，掏出信封。只扫了一眼，就差点昏倒，我盯着那张大钞头晕眼花，想必足足过了一分钟才清醒过来。这时候，首先映入我眼帘的是小吃店老板。他的目光粘在大钞上，像五雷轰顶一般) 旁白：Henry reached the note towards him, and said, carelessly: Henry: "Give me the change, please." "I am sorry if it is an inconvenience, but I must insist. Please change it; I haven't anything else."(他心里想看，一个劲地打量那张大票；好像怎么看也饱不了眼福，可就是战战兢兢地不敢碰它.) Boss: I t isn't any matter; I’m quite willing to let the trifle stand over till another time Henry: I may not be in your neighborhood again for a good while. Boss: It was of no consequence, I can wait. I trust as rich a gentleman as you.
摘要：运用定量与定性分析相结合的方法，基于系统功能语法的三大“元功能”之一的人际功能理论，对马克·吐温的短篇小说《百万英镑》中的两组人物进行人际关系分析，揭示幽默讽刺效果产生的根源和途径，欣赏作者高超的语言艺术，加深对小说主题的理解。 关键词：《百万英镑》；幽默；讽刺；人际功能；人际关系 1.引言 《百万英镑》（The ￡1,000,000 Bank Note）是美国著名幽默讽刺作家马克·吐温的一部经典短篇小说。曾被改编拍摄成电影，选入我国小学语文及中学英语教科书，是一部享誉海内外的优秀作品。故事讲述了一位诚实而聪明的美国年轻人亨利，由于在海上游玩时迷失方向，不幸沦落到英国伦敦，陷入身无分文的境地，正当他饥饿难耐的时候，两位富人兄弟借给了他一张百万英镑的钞票，并让他一个月后将钞票原样返还，他们想知道这张钞票会给亨利带来怎样的影响。当亨利迫于无奈，向伦敦人出示这张钞票，结账买单时，曾经对这个衣衫褴褛的年轻人冷眼相向的商人们顿时态度大转变，开始争相为亨利提供食物、衣物和住宿，不断地对其阿谀奉承，拉拢讨好。亨利的社会地位急速上升，直至除王室外最高的公爵之上。故事轻松幽默，极具讽刺意味，抨击了资产主义社会中“金钱至上”的观念，及人的虚伪和势利。幽默中夹杂着讽刺，讽刺中带着幽默，体现出作者对文字的高度驾驭能力。 《百万英镑》的幽默与讽刺主要体现在伦敦人得知亨利是富翁前后的态度大反差上。本文以故事中的对话片段为主要素材，综合定性研究与定量研究的方法，从系统功能语法的人际功能角度，分析伦敦人与亨利对话时所扮演的角色转变，从冷眼相向到阿谀奉承、争相讨好的态度剧变，从而更好地理解作者如何通过高超的语言使用技巧，达到强烈的幽默讽刺的效果。 2.系统功能语法与人际功能 韩礼德认为，语言的性质决定于其所发挥的功能。系统功能语法（Systemic-functional Grammar） 从功能的角度解释语言现象，认为语言具有三大“元功能”，即概念功能(ideational metafunction)、人际功能(interpersonal metafunction)和语篇功能(textual metafunction)。 人际功能即语言用于人际交流，建立、维持和影响人际关系，表达感受及看法的功能。通过语言的交流，体现社会及人际关系。人际功能分析具体可从三个方面进行：语气系统、情态系统及人称与呼语。 2.1 语气系统 语气系统是实现人际功能的主要语法系统。语气系统即说话人选择不同的“语气”，决定自己的交际角色，同时决定听话人的交际角色。韩礼德认为，语言的交际角色最基本的任务是给予（giving）和求取（demanding），其中交际中的交换物有物品和服务（goods & service）以及信息（information）两种。因此，交际角色与交换物构成了四种主要的言语功能：提供物品或服务(offer)，索取商品或服务(command)，提供信息(statement)，及询问信息(question)，分别简称为提供、命令、陈述和提问。每一种言语功能都由相应的“语气”体现：陈述语气(declarative)实现“陈述”功能，疑问语气(interrogative) 实现“ 提问” 功能，祈使语气实现“命令”功能，意态疑问语气实现“提供”功能。 韩礼德认为，“语气”可分为三种，即直陈语气(indicative), 感叹语气(exclamative), 及祈使语气(imperative)。其中，直陈语气可细分为陈述语气(declarative)，一般疑问语气(yes-no interrogativeor polar interrogative) 及特殊疑问语气(WH-interrogative)(Halliday, 2000:74; 85-87)。在韩礼德的三种“语气”模型(mood types)基础上，埃金斯做出补充，增加了三种“ 语气”：附加疑问语气(tagged interrogative)、省略语气(elliptical clauses)和不完整小句(minor clauses)，使语气系统更加完整、详细而实用。埃金斯还解释了不同语气的
百万英镑英文读后感 Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. Mark Twain's short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society. See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" the heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things … … Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly! When Tess fell in love with Angel, the she tried to hide her love because she thought she hadn' t had the right to get true love. But Angel, the man who loved her deeply, conquered her. However, when Tess told him her dismal past with great care, he couldn’t understand her and at last, he left her. So poor was Tess that when she wanted to be understood and forgave , she was pushed to abysm by the person she loved deeply .It was like adding more salt to the hurts of a broken heart. She was pious to everything about Angel. she could remember every sentence he said, and she learned to sing the songs he was fond of. Even when she was hurt by him, she didn’t hate him. When Angel was walking in sleep, she could choose to fall into the river to die with him but she didn’t do that because she knew she had no right to take his life. You can image how kind a girl she was. It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I don't remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It's

人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑，他的生活会过得咋样？一个则认为他会继续潦倒下去,直至饿死，因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的.另一个则认为他会过得很好，过上上等人的生活。于是他们俩将一百万英镑的支票放在信里面借给了这个碰巧路过的、身无分文的美国水手，并出国呆了三十天。于是故事围绕这个流落伦敦街头的穷光蛋忽然之间得到了一张一百万镑的钞票而展开。 当见到这位突然暴富的罕见美国富翁，大家竟然拼命地拉拢他，巴结他.于是亨利·亚当斯也在无缘无故的得到了大家所给予的一切,从刚开始免费吃饭，买衣服，然后再到免费住宿，他被人们不断的抬高身份,每个人对他就像仆人对主人一样.可当听到关于钱不存在的谣言时，引起人们对于亨利人品以及一切的怀疑。因为有百万英镑亨利的名字甚至被朋友用来注册投资。百万英镑亨利，金矿的股票大涨特涨；没有百万英镑的骗子亨利，股票开始狂跌……酒店要求结帐，裁缝店拿回一套套衣服，亨利几天的生活就好像坐过山车般的刺激，形成了鲜明的对比，具有很强烈的讽刺性。电影最后，虽然亨利·亚当斯归还了那张百万英镑的支票,但是最后如他从两兄弟那儿所愿得到了一份很好的工作并且意外的得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息. 《百万英镑》这部电影通过小办事员的种种“历险”嘲弄了金钱在资产阶级社会叱咤风云、呼风唤雨的作用。导演用连环画似的手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。影片对社会上“金钱就是一
