Oliver: Good luck,Mr Adams.
Henry: Well,why don?t you explain what is all about?
Roderick : You?ll soon know.(looks at the clock)In exactly an hour and a half. Servant : This way, sir.
Roderick : Mr Adams, not until 2o?clock.Promise? Henry: Promise.Goodbye.

（在餐馆外边，亨利看了看那封信的信封，没有打开，然后决定走进餐馆。他在靠近前边窗户的一张桌子旁坐了下来）
店主：（看看亨利的那幅穷酸相）那张桌子有人订了。请到这边来。（对服务员）霍勒斯，
来等先生点菜。
亨利：（坐定之后，把信放在桌上）我要火腿加鸡蛋，还来一块大牛排，要特厚的。我还要一杯咖啡，一份菠萝甜点。
服务员：好的，先生。恐怕这得花费一大笔钱。
亨利：我明白。我还要一大杯啤酒。
服务员：行。（服务员离开了，很快把所有的食物端上来）
女老板：天哪！你看他，吃起东西来就像头狼。
店主：瞧着吧，看他是不是像狼一样机灵？
亨利：（刚吃完了所有的东西）喂，服务员。（服务员过来了）同样的东西请再来一份，呃，再来一大杯啤酒。
服务员：每样东西都再来一份吗？
亨利：是，没错。（看着服务员脸上的神色）有什么不对吗？
服务员：不，没什么不对。（对店主）他再要一份同样的食物。
店主：嗯，许多美国人喜欢吃得多，这是大家都知道的。哦，我们得冒点儿风险。去吧，让他吃吧。
服务员：（饭后念账单）好了。两份火腿家鸡蛋，两份特厚的牛排，两大杯啤酒，两杯咖啡和两份甜点。
亨利：（望着墙上的挂钟）请等几分钟号码？
服务员：（很不耐烦地）还等什么？
店主：霍勒斯，行啦，这儿由我来照应。
亨利：（对店主）这餐饭吃得真棒。从生活中如此简单的东西之中竟能得到这么大的乐趣，真是令人吃惊，特别是当你暂时吃不到这些东西的时候。
店主：是的，很有意思。如果你现在能付账的话，我就可以去照顾别的顾客了。
亨利：（又望着墙上的挂钟）好了，我看两点钟到了。（他把信封拆开，那车一张百万英镑的钞票。亨利感到吃惊，店主和服务员惊呆了）很抱歉，我……我……我没有小一点儿的钞票。店主：（还在发呆，而且有点儿紧张）好……嗯……，等一会儿。玛吉，来瞧瞧！（女老板尖叫起来，其他顾客都望着她，于是，她用手捂住了嘴巴）你看这张钞票是真的吗？
女老板：天哪，我不知道。我真不知道。
店主：嗯，我确实听说过英格兰银行发行了两张这样面值的钞票……不管怎样，我觉得这不可能是假钞。这么大面值的钞票会特别引人注意的。小偷可不想引起别人的注意。
女老板：但是他穿得破破烂烂的！
店主：也许他十一哥非常怪异而富有的人。（如梦初醒似的）啊，对了，一定是这样的。
女老板：（在她丈夫的手臂上打了一下）是你把他带到餐厅后面去的，还不马上去看看他。店主：（对亨利）先生，对不起，非常对不起，这张钞票我们找不开。
亨利：而我身上就只带了这张钞票。
店主：哎呀，先生，请别着急，一点儿也没关系。我们非常高兴你能走进我们这家小吃店。先生，真的，我希望您随时光临。
亨利：这，你太好了。
店主：我太好了？不，先生，是您太好了。您什么时候想来就来，想吃什么就吃什么。您就是在这儿坐一下也是我们莫大的荣幸！至于说账单嘛，先生，请把它忘了吧。
亨利：忘了它？喔……，那就太谢谢了。你太好了。
店主：啊，先生，该是我们谢谢您呢。先生，我从心底里感谢您。
（当亨利离开的时候，店主、女老板和服务员都一齐向他鞠躬）

亨利：哦，好的。嗯，傍晚时分我发现我被一阵大风刮到海上去了。这都是我的错。我不知道是否能活到早晨。第二天早上，我正感到绝望的时候，一艘海船发现了我。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. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand,which accounts for my appearance.I went to the American embassy to seek help, but ...(The brothers smile at each other.)
亨利：是的。事实上我靠做义工来顶替船费。这就是我为什么衣冠不整的原因了。我上美国大使馆求助，但是……（兄弟俩相顾而笑）。

亨利：嗯，这对你们来说可能是运气，但对我来说可不是。事实上，正好相反。如果你们认为这是一个笑话，我可不觉得很好笑。（亨利起身准备走）好了，请原谅，我想我该上路了。

百万英镑英文观后感
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 故事梗概
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.
百万英镑英文读后感
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
Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note
Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note 一、教材分析 1、单元背景分析 本单元的主要内容是根据马克·吐温的名著《百万英镑》改编而成的戏剧剧本中的几个片段。通过这个话题可以使学生对西方资本主义社会有一个全面的认识；对金钱与人际关系的讨论可以让学生对我们的社会和人生有一个更为理性、全面的认识和理解，能引导他们树立正确的人生观和金钱观。通过戏剧的听、读和表演，学习与服务行业有关的英语词汇和句型；学会选择恰当的英语句型和词汇来表达自己的观点和看法。尤其是通过戏剧表演增强口头表达技巧和英语实际运用能力。 2、教材内容分析 在本单元中，“Pre-reading（读前）”部分设计了两个问题，不仅能激发学生阅读的兴趣，而且通过对问题的讨论和比较，教师还能引导学生树立正确的价值观和人生观。“Reading（阅读）”部分是剧本中的第一幕第三场。这一场描述了两个年老而又富有的兄弟打赌，赌一个身无分文的人在获得一张百万英镑的钞票之后会有怎样的命运，结果他们选择了一个流浪到英国的美国人亨利·亚当斯，并把百万大钞借给了他。“Comprehending（理解）”部分共有六个练习，这些练习分别从不同的方面来引导和帮助学生理解“阅读”中的信息。 以上三部分均是以提高学生阅读能力为主，所以我将这三部分科学地整合成一节阅读课。从整单元来看，该课时承接上一课时“Warming up(热身)”部分的内容（在第一课时，学生通过大量的图片、相关练习以及电影片断的欣赏，对马克·吐温的生平、作品、以及《百万英镑》第一幕前两场已经有所了解），同时，它又是呈现本单元语法项目“宾语从句和表语从句”的感知材料，是完成本单元听、说、读、写技能的载体。 根据课文特点及新课标对高一年级学生英语学习能力的要求，我确定如下的教学目标： 3、教学目标 1）知识目标：让学生掌握本课的课标词汇。引导学生通过戏剧情节的发展，了解英语戏剧的特点和要素，如时间、地点、人物等。 2）能力目标：提高运用阅读策略预测课文和获取课文主要信息的能力；通过略读、细读等阅读策略以及讨论活动提高说和读的能力；培养学生发现问题，分析问题和解决问题的能力。 3）情感目标：培养学生对英语戏剧的浓厚兴趣；通过探讨金钱和人性的关系，树立正确的人生观和价值观。 4）学习策略：形成自主学习、合作学习和探究学习的意识。 其中，知识目标和能力目标既是重点又是难点，情感目标和学习策略则贯彻整个教学过程。 二、说教法 在本节课的教学中，为了能很好地突出重点，突破难点，圆满完成教学任务，取得良好的教学效果，我根据《高中英语新课程标准》的要求，抓住重点，联系实际，采用快速阅读、角色扮演、小组讨论等教学方法，让学生充分体现课堂教学“主体者”的身份。同时，我还借鉴现代教学理念，把CAI（计算机辅助教学）技术与英语阅读教学的理论相结合，遵循阅读过程的认知规律，突出语篇教学，

百万英镑的英文简介
百万英镑的英文简介 In 1903, American seaman Henry Adams (Gregory Peck) is stranded penniless in England and gets caught up in an unusual wager between two wealthy, eccentric b rothers, Oliver (Ronald Squire) and Roderick Montpelier (Wilfrid Hyde-White). They persuade the Bank of England to issue a one million pound banknote, which they present to Adams in an envelope (only telling him that it contains some money). T he reason for this is that Oliver believes that the mere existence of the note will e nable the possessor to obtain whatever he needs, while Roderick contends that it would actually have to be spent for it to be of any use. Once Adams gets over th e shock of discovering how much the note is worth, he tries to return it to the brot hers, but is told that they have left for a month. He then finds a letter in the envel ope, explaining the wager and promising him a job if he can avoid spending the n ote for the month. At first, everything goes as Oliver had predicted. Adams is mist aken for an eccentric millionaire and has no trouble getting food, clothes and a hot el suite on credit, just by showing his note. The story of the note is reported in th e newspapers. Adams is welcomed into exclusive social circles, meeting the Americ an ambassador and English aristocracy. He becomes very friendly with Portia Lans downe (Jane Griffiths), the niece of the Duchess of Cromarty. Then, fellow America n Lloyd Hastings (Hartley Power) asks him to back a business venture.

Trouble arises when the Duke of Frognal (A. E. Matthews), who had b een unceremoniously evicted from the suite Adams now occupies, hides the note a s a joke. When Adams is unable to produce the note, panic breaks out amongst t he shareholders and Adams' creditors. Fortunately, all is straightened out in the en d, and Adams is able to return the note to the Montpelier brothers at the end of t he month.
阅读百万英镑的心得体会
阅读百万英镑的心得体会 《百万英磅》。以其略带夸张的艺术手法再现大师小说中讽刺与幽默，揭露了20世纪初英国社会的拜金主义思想。以下是关于阅读百万英镑的心得体会5篇，欢迎阅读参考！ 阅读百万英镑的心得体会（1） 是世界给予人类最伟大的精神食粮，可以让人心胸宽阔，陶冶情操，磨炼人的意志。自从我读了《百万英镑》之后受益匪浅，明白了许多人生道理。 这本书主要告诉我们钱不能当饭吃，主人公亨利亚当是一位流浪汉，他收到了两位兄弟的信，这两位兄弟打了一个赌：如果将五百万的支票给一位穷人，他会干什么？哥哥认为这位穷人会被饿死，则弟弟认为他会过得很好。于是，亨利就轻而易举地得到了这五百万支票。因为当时五百万的支票只有两张，所以银行十分小心，不敢亲易兑换，所以只有他的主人才能兑换，如果不是主人，将会缉拿归案。但是亨利是一名穷人，只好他怀着一种忐忑不安的心理进了一家饭店和一家衣服店，所有在场的员工一开始没有一个是瞧得起他的，但得知他手上有一张五百万元的支票时却一个一个惊呆了，对他甜言蜜语，照顾有加，帐都可以先赊着。最后，亨利有房有车，还有贤惠的妻子在身边照顾，享受着天伦之乐。 读完之后我有一种深深的羡慕之情，羡慕主人公那美妙 的生活，那堆积如山的钱财，但是深深品味之后我又有了不一样
的想法：人们之所以讨好他，不是因为他那高高在上的地位，用不完的钱财吗？所以说人们都把钱看得太重要了，如果你是穷光蛋，穿着一身烂衣裳，估计在马路上没有人会搭理你，还会躲得远远的；如果你是家缠万贯，开着豪车，住别墅，嘿嘿，后面估计有一大堆美女跟着你。正是因为如此，所以社会才不和谐。但是大家不去拜金，而是对身边的每一种事以善良的心态去看待，这样不是更好吗？ 最近几年有一则新闻，一名富二代小伙，因醉酒驾驶撞死撞伤人，被警察逮到之后，大声说：我爸是李刚，我怕谁，谁敢抓我。有网民查到李刚是政府高级官员。事后竟然依旧靠关系当官，一点事也没有。 大家都知道育才中学，可是一般的普通老百姓都去不了那里，有真实才华的人也去不了那里。但是为什们中学里还是人满为患，原来是花钱找关系进去的，你说这种行为可耻不可耻。难道钱比生命，比学问更重要么？ 我真的希望大家能把钱的地位放低一点，不要一切向钱看。 阅读百万英镑的心得体会（2） 今天，我读了《百万英磅》。它描述了一个流落伦敦的美国人身无分文，两个富有的兄弟借给了他一张一百万英镑的支票。他先去饭店吃饭，老板开始对他很刻薄，而当他拿 出那张百万英镑的大钞时，老板的态度一下子180度的转弯。为什么当你变得有钱了，别人对你的态度就不一样了？然
百万英镑英文简介
The Million Pound Note(故事简介) This time I want to talk about a very famous short story written by Mark Twain---------“The Million Pound Note”. Referring to（提到，提起）Mark Twain, you must feel familiar（熟悉的, because we must have read his works before. I still remember the article “The Bite Events on the Train”《火车上的噬人事件》in our textbook when I’m in the middle school. What touched me most at that time were his ironic（具有讽刺意味的）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 （徘徊）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（毫无价值）to the poor man because he could not prove that the money was his own while the other considered just as the opposite. Dramatically（戏剧性地）, the plot（剧情）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（谄媚地; 逢迎地）told Henry 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（拉拢，奉承）him, from free food，free clothes to free accommodation（住宿）. At the same time, his social status（地位）was becoming higher and higher and finally higher than most dukes（公爵）. Apart from that, he later got a beautiful wife and 200,000 pounds of bank interest(利息）. I can imagine a bright future was waiting for him. . 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 other necessities. But we must know that there are many things which can’t be bought with money such as love or friendship. So in my opinion,money may be important to us, but not the most important. We need to build up the correct sense of money. To sum up, this story is a really good work of Mark Twain. The lesson I’ve learnt from it makes me want to be an honest man sincerely and lets me not to worship(崇拜，爱慕) money too much. I begin to regret not reading it earlier.
