THE MILLION POUND BANK
NOTE 百万英镑
ACT 1, SCENE 3 第一幕，第3场
Narrator: Two rich brothers,
Roderick and Oliver, have made a
bet. Oliver believes that with a
million-pound bank note a man
could live a month in London. His
brother Roderick doubts it. They
see a poor young man walking
outside their house. It is Henry
Adams. 旁白：1903年的夏天。一对富有的兄弟，罗德里克和奥利弗，打了一个赌。奥利弗认为，一个人靠一张百万英镑的钞票在伦敦能活一个月。他的兄弟罗德里克对此表示怀疑。他们看见一个贫穷的年轻人在房子的外面游荡。他叫亨利·亚当斯。
Roderick: Young man, would you
step inside a moment, please? 罗德里克：年轻人，请你进来一会儿，好吗？
Henry: Who? Me, sir? 亨利：先生，你叫谁呀？是叫我吗？
Roderick: Yes, you. 罗德里克：是的，就是你。
Servant: (opening a door) Good
morning, sir. Would you please
come in? 仆人：(打开门)早上好，先生，请进。
(Henry enters the house) (亨利走进房子) Roderick: How do you do, Mr ...
er ...? 罗德里克：你好，先生，你贵姓？
Henry: Adams. Henry Adams. 亨利：亚当斯，亨利·亚当斯。
Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr
Adams. 奥利弗：来，请坐，亚当斯先生。
Henry: Thank you. 亨利：谢谢。
Roderick: You’re an American? 罗德里克：你是美国人？
Henry: That’s right, from San
Francisco. 亨利：是的，从旧金山来。
Roderick: May we ask what you’re
doing in this country and what your
plans are? 罗德里克：可不可以问问，你在这个国家要干点儿什么？你的计划又是什么呢？
Henry: Well, I can’t say that I have
any plans. As a matter of fact, I
landed in Britain by accident. 亨利：嗯，谈不上有什么计划。事实上，我在英国上岸是偶然的。
Oliver: How is that possible? 奥利弗：这怎么可能呢？
Henry: Well, I had my own boat.
About a month ago, I was sailing,
and towards night I found myself
carried out to sea by a strong wind.
The next morning I was spotted by
a ship. 亨利：嗯，我有自己的船。大约一个月前，我开着船，晚上的时候我发现我被一阵大风刮到海上去了。第二天早上，一艘船发现了我。 Oliver: And it was the ship that
brought you to England. 罗德里克：正是那艘船把你带到了英国。
Henry: Yes. I went to the American
consulate to seek help, but ...
Anyway, I didn’t dare to try
again. (The brothers smile at each
other.) 亨利：是的。我上美国大使馆求助，但是……不管怎样，我不敢再去尝试了。(兄弟俩相顾而笑)
Roderick: Well, you mustn’t worry
about that. It’s an advantage. 罗德里克：嗯，这一点你倒不必担心，这还是优点呢。
Henry: I’m afraid I don’t quite
follow you, sir. 亨利：对不起，先生，你的话我没有听懂。
Roderick: Tell us, what sort of
work did you do in America? 奥利弗：请你告诉我们，你在美国是做什么工作的？
Henry: I worked for a mining
company. Could you offer me work
here? 亨利：我在一家矿业公司工作。你们能不能给我提供工作呢？
Roderick: Patience. If you don’t
mind, may I ask you how much
money you have? 罗德里克：耐心点儿。如果你不介意，我能不能问问，你手头儿有多少钱？
Henry: Well, to be honest, I have
none. 亨利：嗯，老实说，我一分钱都没有了。 Oliver: (happily) What luck!
Brother, what luck! 奥利弗：(高兴地)老兄，真走运！真有运气！
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. Now if you’ll
excuse me, I ought to be on my
way. 亨利：嗯，这对你们来说可能是运气，但对我来说可不是。如果你们认为这是一个笑话，我可不觉得很好笑。好了，请原谅，我想我该上路了。
Roderick: Please don’t go. You
mustn’t think we don’t care about
you. Oliver, give him the letter. 罗德里克：请别走。你千万不要以为我们不在意你的感受。奥利弗，把信给他。
Oliver: Yes, I was about to go get
the letter. Wait! (getting it from a
desk and giving it to Henry) The
letter. 奥利弗：好的，我正想去拿信呢。稍等一下！(从桌上把信拿起来，递给亨利)给你信。
Henry: (taking it carefully) For
me? 亨利：(小心翼翼地接过信)是给我的吗？
Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to
open it) Oh, no, you’d better not
open it. You can’t open it until two
o’clock. 罗德里克：是给你的。(亨利要拆信)啊，别拆，你不要拆，到两点钟你才能打开。 Henry: Oh, this is silly. 亨利：噢，这真可笑。
Roderick: Not silly. There’s money
in it. 罗德里克：这不可笑，这里边有钱呢。
Henry: Oh, no. I don’t want your
charity. I just want a job that earns
an honest income. 亨利：噢，不，我不需要你们的施舍，我只要一份老老实实的工作。
Roderick: We know you’re hard-working. That’s why we’ve given
you the letter. (to the
servant) Show Mr Adams out. 罗德里克：我们知道你工作是很卖力的，这正是我们给你这封信的原因。(对仆人说)请送亚当斯先生出去。
Oliver: Good luck, Mr Adams. 奥利弗：祝你好运，亚当斯先生。
Henry: Well, why don’t you
explain what this is all about? 亨利：嗯，怎么不给我讲讲，这究竟是怎么回事呢？
Roderick: You’ll soon know. In
exactly an hour and a half. 罗德里克：你很快就会明白的。一个半小时以后。
Servant: This way, sir. 仆人：请这边走，先生。
Roderick: Not until 2 o’clock.
Promise? 罗德里克：两点钟以前不要拆信，答应吗？
Henry: Promise. Goodbye. 亨利：答应。再见！

him there. (pointing to another
clerk) 店员1：(粗鲁地)你去找他。(指着另一个店员)

Henry: (after going down some
stairs) Can you show me a suit,
please? 亨利：(下了楼梯后)你能给我拿一件成衣吗？
3rd Clerk: Yes, I can, sir. This way,
please. Ah, here we are, the very
thing you need. 店员3：好的，先生。这边请。啊，这件挺适合你。
1st Clerk: (pulling the 3rd clerk
aside and whispering) Mr Reid
says you’d better serve him quick
and get him out quick! 店员1：(把店员3拉到一边低声说) 里德先生说，你最好快点招待他，然后快点把他打发走！
