㈧ 总结百万英镑故事英语作文
My Impressions after Reading” 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, among which “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is of the most popularity, which was praised by Hemingway as “the first real American literature”. But today I am introcing his another work------ The Million Pound Note.
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.

罗德里克:小伙子 你能进来一下吗? 亨利:谁?我吗.,先生?
罗德克里:是的,就是你。 奥利弗:从你的左边的前门进来。
亨利:(一个仆人打开门)谢谢。
仆人:早上好,先生。请进?请允许我来带路吧。
奥利弗:(亨利进来了)谢谢你,詹姆斯。这没你什么事了。
罗德克里:你好,先生……呃……?
亨利:亚当斯,亨利。亚当斯
罗德里克:过来坐下,亚当斯先生。……
亨利:谢谢
罗德里克:你是美国人?
亨利:对,我来自旧金山。
罗德里克:你对伦敦了解的多吗?
亨利:一点也不了解,我是第一次来这。
罗德里克:亚当斯先生,不知你是否介意我们问你一些问题?
亨利:别客气,请问吧。
罗德里克:我们想问你在英国干什么,你有什么计划吗?
亨利:哦,我不能说我有什么计划,我只希望能找份工作。实际上,我是偶然来到英国的。
奥利弗:这怎么可能呢?
亨利:哦,你知道,我在家里有一条自己的船。大概一个月前,我正准备驶出海湾……
奥利弗:哦,接着说。
亨利:好的,夜幕降至,我发现刮起了强烈的风,这都是我的错。第二天早上,我还是迷失了方向,幸好有艘船发现了我。
奥利弗:那么就是那艘船带你来到英格兰了。
亨利:是的,事实上他们让我在船上帮工才免了我的船费,这就是我为什么会衣冠不整的原因了。我去美国大使馆求助,但是……
罗德里克:哦,你不必担心了,这也是你的优势。
亨利:先生,我不是很赞同你的观点。
罗德里克:亚当斯先生,对我们说说你在美国从事的工作。
亨利:我在船厂上班,你们能不能给我提供一份工作啊?
罗德里克: 别着急,亚当斯先生,如果你不介意,我想知道你还有多少钱?
亨利:说老实话,我没钱。 奥利弗:这太幸运了!这太幸运了!
亨利:这也许对你们来说很幸运,但是对我来说一点也不好。如果这一切不过是你们开的玩笑,我并不觉得很有趣。如果你们不介意的话我先走了。
罗德里克:请不要走,亚当斯先生。你千万不要觉得我们不在乎你。奥利弗,把信给他。
奥利弗:对,信,这是信。 亨利:给我的?
罗德里克:是给你的。不,现在不要拆,到下午两点再拆。 亨利: 这太滑稽了。
罗德里克:不滑稽,里面装着钱。
亨利:不,我不需要你们的施舍,我只需要一份工作。 罗德里克:我们知道很踏实,这也是我们把信交给你的原因。詹姆斯,送亚当斯先生出去吧。
