Background
无心插柳写的《圣诞颂歌》获得了空前的胜利。
当时是1843年,狄更斯正处于创作的承接阶段,5年前,他完成了自己 的代表作《雾都孤儿》,获得了空前的成功。对底层贫民、儿童的关怀 和世间黑暗的控诉让英国人对狄更斯肃然起敬。
也可以说,篇幅较短的《圣诞颂歌》,是狄更斯从着眼于苦难人群的 中期,向更广阔、更深入揭露资本主义全貌的晚期过度的作品。在之后 的创作高峰里,他写下了传世之作《双城记》《远大前程》以及半自传 体的代表作《大卫•科波菲尔》。

<The Christmas Carol>
Summary
• With the help of the three ghosts, Scrooge became kind and generous. He
said: ‘Merry Christmas’ instead of ‘Bah humbug’. He joined his nephews Christmas party and started to help others by donating much money.
Background: London in Dickens’ time
• London in Scrooge’s time was in the middle of growing pains brought on by the
Industrial Revolution. Factories became commonplace, and so did the idea of working in an office all day long for low wages. Families were very large, with ten or more chit was not until three ghosts' visit which pointed out the mistakes Scrooge
had made on treating others to reveal his childhood, present and future that he realized how important to be good to others and what Christmas meant. The ghost of Christmas past showed him his past Christmases---the whole process of how he had grown to a mean old man from a native child. The ghost of Christmas present showed him with the happy Christmases his clerk and his nephew had. The ghost of Christmas future took him directly to his future grave to see the result of his mean and greedy life.
