类文欣赏：
Professor Henry Higgins，who is England’s lead ing phoneticist，meets
Eliza Doolittle，the little British flower girl，near the Royal Opera House，
Covent Garden，late on a cold March night. Eliza is selling flowers. Higgins is
out on his endless quest for new dialects of London’s speech. A handsome
young aristocrat(贵族) ，Freddy Eynsford-Hill，takes no choice of her when
she tries to sell him flowers. Colonel Pickering，also a linguistic(语言学的)
expert ，comes to stay with Higgins at his flat.
Eliza comes to Higgins’ flat to be instructed in the Eng lish language，in
order to transform herself into a “ lady”. Higgins looks upon her not as a
person but as raw material for his experiment；he drills Eliza for weeks. As no
sign of progress is made，Eliza loses her courage，Higgins loses his temper and
even Pickering becomes less convinced.
At last she improves. In the flush of his first success，Higgins puts Eliza to
a preliminary(预备性的) test. He will introduce her to his mother’s guests at
the Ascot Race Meeting the following week. Eliza，strikingly pretty in her new
clothes，appears at the races. Instructed to restrict her conversation to the
weather and everyone’s health，she says her little set pieces perfectly.
Freddy Eynsford-Hill falls hopelessly in love with the new Eliza. Six weeks
later，Higgins，in a crucial test，presents Eliza at a full-dress Embassy ball. She
is the object of admiration and everyone speculates(猜测) on her identity. Pickering and Higgins，back at the flat，indulge(沉溺) in self-congratulation. Neither of them takes into a ccount Eliza’s personal accomplishment in the matter. Frustrated，Eliza storms out of the house. Higgins discovers that he is hurt because Eliza left him. He meets her at his mother’s flat where she has gone
for advice. They argue violently and she storms out. It is only a moment after
her leaving that Higgins finally wakes up to the fact that Eliza has become an entirely independent and admirable human being.
Back at his flat he sinks into his chair prepared to face a bleak，lonely future. But just then---a moment before the final curtain falls --- a figure emerges from
the shadowy corner of the room，and Higgins recognizes Eliza.
