It’s so cold in here.E: Am I paying you 15 shillings a week for warming your handsB: I’m freezing, Mr. Scrooge. Frost stands on the windows. My hands are too cold to write. I can’t even read my own handwriting.E: To o cold to write. Humbug! If you were working harder, you wouldn’t be cold. Just put on your overcoat. If I hear another word from you, you will go where it is really cold.B: Excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, eh…tomorrow it’s Christmas.E: So what? You’ll want all d ay off tomorrow, I suppose?B: If quite convenient, sir.E: It’s not convenient, and it’s not fair. I have to pay a whole day’s wages for no work at all.B: It’s only Christmas once a year, Mr. Scrooge.E: That’s a poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket ev ery twenty-fifth of December! Anyway, I suppose I will have to let you have it. But make sure to be early in the office the after! Now, who’s here? It’s my nephew Fred.(A young man comes in.)F: A Merry Christmas, Uncle! God save you!E: Bah! Humbug!F: C hristmas a humbug, Uncle? You don’t mean that, I’m sure!E: I do. Merry Christmas! What reason do you have to be merry? You are poor enough.F: Well. What reason have you not to be merry? You are rich enough.E: Bah! Humbug!F: Please, Uncle. That’s not ki nd.E: Nephew, you celebrate Christmas in your own way, and let me celebrate it in mine!F: Celebrate it, yes! But you don’t celebrate it.E: No. Let me leave it alone, then. Much good way it do you! But you must admit that it hasn’t, so far! Look how poor you are!F: There are many things that do me good without bringing in profits. Christmas time is a good time. It’s the only time of the year when one does not only think about oneself, but when men and women open their hearts freely and think of other people. So, although it has never put a piece of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has dome me good, and will do me good. I say, God bless it! Come! Have dinner with us tomorrow.(Bob applauds.)E: Stop that foolish clapping! Let me hear another sound from you, and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your position!E: Stop that foolish clapping! Let me hear another sound from you, and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your position!(Fred leaves. A gentleman comes in.)G: Scrooge and Marley’s, I believe. Are you Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?E: Scrooge is the name. My partner died seven years ago, this very night.G: At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge, when many of us enjoy abundant comfort, we would like to ask you to open your heart to the poor, whose sufferings are great. Many thousands are in want of basic needs; hundreds of thousands are in want of basic comforts, sir.E: Are there no prisons? And Union work houses?G: There are plenty of prisons, but they cannot provide warmth. We are raising money to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. Do you wish to make a contribution?E: Are there no prisons? And Union work houses?G: There are plenty of prisons, but they cannot provide warmth. We are raising money to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. Do you wish to make a contribution?E: No. I can’t afford to make idle people merry. Prisons and places like that cost honest taxpayer like me enough; and those who are badly off must go there.G: Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.E: If they would rather die, they had better do it. Personally, I don’t care. It’s not my business. My business occupies me constantly. Good afternoon, gentlemen! (They all leave.) Good. They’re all gone.(Scrooge falls asleep.)S: Ho, ho, ho!E: What humbug is this? Bob, is that you? Who’s there?S: Ho, ho, ho. Scrooge, my man. It’s just the two of us.E: Who are you and what is your business? And make it short, because it’s time to close up.S: Your welfare, my dear S crooge! Don’t worry about the time. We have plenty of it. Ho, ho, ho.E: Humbug. I don’t believe in Santa Claus. Leave me alone.S: Alone is what you are, and what you have been. Do you remember your dream, Scrooge? Think about your future.E: (frightened) What do you know about my dreams?S: Ho, ho, ho. I know all about people’s dreams, Scrooge. Come with me, and I’ll show you.INTEGRATING SKILLSReadingA CHRISTMAS CAROL (2)E: Ebenezer Scrooge S: Santa Claus G: Girl Y: Young Scrooge A: AllB: Bob Cratchit L: Little girl M: A boyE: Where are we?S: Ho, ho, ho.

To Mr. Scrooge, and thank him for this feast.C: No. Not to Scrooge, that mean, hard, selfish old man. You know he is, Bob. Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow. He makes his clerks work so many hours and pays you so little. We never had money to buy medicines for Tiny Tim. God bless him.B: My dears, it’s Christmas; we should not forget Mr. Scrooge. Long life to him!E: Santa, where’s Tiny Chr istmas; we should not forget Mr. Scrooge. Long life to him!S: Ho, ho, ho. Scrooge, these are shadows of what may happen in the future.E: It may happen, but it doesn’t have to, does it? Heaven, be praised for this! Santa! Hear me! I’m not the man I was. I’ll change my life, believe me.S: Ho, ho, ho. Good old Ebenezer Scrooge. It’s Christmas Eve. Shouldn’t you go somewhere?E: Oh yes, indeed. I shall go to Fred. No, let’s go to Bob first.

I’m here to wish you all a Merry Christmas.B: But Mr. Scrooge, how generous of you! Thank you. And Merry Christmas to you!A: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!。

In the house, at this moment, were Bob’s wife, his daughter, Belinda, his son, Peter, and a young boy and girl. Bob and his son, Tiny Tim, had not yet arrived home. 斯克罗吉和“现在的圣诞精灵”像以前一样隐形地继续着，来到了这个镇的郊区，斯克罗吉的职员鲍勃·克拉特基特和他的家人住在一所小房子里。

这时候，在房子里有鲍勃的妻子、女儿贝琳达、儿子彼得和一个年轻的男孩和女孩。

鲍勃和他的儿子小蒂姆还没有到家。

“What has happened to your father,” said Mrs. Cratchit, “and your brother, Tiny Tim? And your sister, Martha? They weren’t as late as this last Christmas Day.”“你父亲发生了什么事，”克拉奇蒂太太说，“还有你弟弟，小蒂姆?你妹妹玛莎呢?他们还没有到去年圣诞节的时候。

”“Here’s Martha,mother!” said a girl who now appeared at the door.“这是玛莎,妈妈!这时一个姑娘出现在门口。
