Carol圣誕歡歌在時間上都發(fā)生在圣誕前的一天

Unit7AChristmasCarol戲劇AChristmasCarol〔圣誕歡歌〕在時間上都發(fā)生在圣誕前的一天，但又可以細細分為四個不同場景：第一個場景發(fā)生在Scrooge的辦公室，人物有Scrooge和他的雇員BobCratchit，情節(jié)為Scrooge阻止Bob用蠟燭暖手，阻止Bob向Scrooge請假過圣誕節(jié)，展現了Scrooge對人苛刻、吝嗇、自私的一面。第二個場景發(fā)生在Scrooge和他的外甥Fred之間，情節(jié)為Fred邀請他舅舅Scrooge一起慶祝圣誕，但是Scrooge斷然拒絕，還奚落了Fred，從中可以看出Scrooge沒有親情、惟利是圖的本性。第三個場景發(fā)生在Scrooge和一位慈善機構的先生之間，慈善機構的先生向Scrooge募捐，然而Scrooge非但分文不給，相反還建議把那些窮人關進監(jiān)獄，從這個場景我們可以看出Scrooge沒有社會責任感、缺乏憐憫心的特點。第四個場景發(fā)生在圣誕前夜Scrooge的夢中，主要人物為SantaClaus〔圣誕老人〕和Scrooge，圣誕老人前來提醒Scrooge所做過的夢。在第四個場景后面還留下了一個懸念，讓我們思考接下去Scrooge將會發(fā)生什么變化。為后面閱讀IntegratingSkills中的AChristmasCarol的第二局部埋下良好的伏筆。Trueorfalseexercises:(1).ItwascoldinScrooge’sofficeandBobhadtowarmhimselfoverthecandles.(2).ScroogewaswillingtoletBobhaveadayoffbecauseitwouldbeChristmasthenextday.(3).Scroogewasinvitedbyhisnieceandheacceptedtheinvitationhappily.(4).AmanarrivedatScrooge’sofficebecausehewantedtocollectsomemoneyforthepoor.(5).Scroogedidn’twanttogivethepooranymoneybecausehewaspoorhimself.(6).InScrooge’sdreamhemetJacobMarley.TrueFalseFalseTrueFalseFalseCanyousaysomethingaboutsomeofthecharactersintheplay?Heisaselfish,mean,oldman,andagreedybadbosswhothinksnothingbutmoneyandprofits.Hehasnofriendexcepthisbusinesspartner,JacobMarley.Hecaresfornobodybuthimself.1.EbenezerScroogeHeissaidtobeapersonwhobringspresentstochildrenthenightbeforeChristmas,butinourunitheisaguideinthedreamandwillleadEbenezerScroogeintohispast,hispresentandhisfuture.2.Santa
