必修三Unit3 THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE百万英镑: Act I, Scene 4第一幕，第4场
(Outside a restaurant Henry looks at the envelope without opening it and decides to go in.He sits down at a table next to the front window.) （在餐馆外边，亨利看了看信封，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）
OWNER:(seeing Henry\'s poor appearance) That one\'s reserved.This way, please.(to the waiter) Take this gentleman\'s order, Horace.店主：（看看亨利的那副穷酸相）那张桌子有人订了。请到这边来。（对服务员）霍勒斯，来等这位先生点菜。
HENRY: (after sitting down and putting the letter on the table) I\'d like some ham and eggs and a nice big steak.Make it extra thick.I\'d also like a cup of coffee and a pine apple deert.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。
WAITER:Right, sir.I\'m afraid it\'ll cost a large amount of money.服务员：好的，先生。恐怕这得花费一大笔钱。 HENRY: I understand.And I\'ll have a large gla of beer.亨利：我明白。我还要一大杯啤酒。
WAITER:OK.(The waiter leaves and soon returns with all the food.) 服务员：行。（服务员离开了，很快把所有的食物端了上来） HOSTESS: My goodne! Why, look at him.He eats like a wolf.女老板：天哪！你看他，吃起东西来就像头狼。 OWNER:We\'ll see if he\'s clever as a wolf, eh? 店主：瞧着吧，看他是不是像狼一样机灵？
HENRY:(having just finished every bit of food) Ah, waiter.(waiter returns)Same thing again, please.Oh, and another beer.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。 WAITER:Again? Everything?
1 服务员：每样东西都再来一份吗？
HENRY: Yes, that\'s right.(sees the look on the waiter\'s face) Anything wrong? 亨利：是，没错。（看着服务员脸上的神色）有什么不对吗？ WAITER:No, not at all.(to the owner) He\'s asked for more of the same.服务员：不，没什么不对。（对店主）他再要一份同样的食物。
OWNER:Well, it is well-known that Americans like to eat a lot.Well, we\'ll haveto take a chance.Go ahead and let him have it.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。
WAITER:(reading the bill after the meal) All right.That\'s two orders of ham and eggs, two extra thick steaks, two large glaes of beer, two cups of coffee and two deerts.服务员：（饭后念账单）好了。两份火腿加鸡蛋，两份特厚的牛排，两大杯啤酒，两杯咖啡和两份甜点。
HENRY: (looking at the clock on the wall) Would you mind waiting just a few minutes? 亨利：（望着墙上的挂钟）请等几分钟好吗？ WAITER:(in a rude manner) What\'s there to wait for? 服务员：（很不耐烦地）还等什么？ OWNER:All right, Horace.I\'ll take care of this.店主：霍勒斯，行啦，这儿由我来照应。
HENRY: (to owner) That was a wonderful meal.It\'s amazing how much pleasure you get out of tile simple things in life, especially if you can\'t have them for awhile.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。 OWNER:Yes, very interesting.Now perhaps, sir, if you pay your bill I can help the other customers.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 2 了。
HENRY: (looking at the clock on the wall again) Well, I see it\'s two o\'clock.(he opens the envelope and holds a million pound bank note in his hands.Henry is surprised but the owner and waiter are shocked) I\'m very sorry.But ...I...I don\'t have anything smaller.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，拿出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。
OWNER:(still shocked and nervous) Well ..er ...just one moment.Maggie, look!(the hoste screams, the other customers look at her and she puts a hand to her mouth) Do you think it\'s genuine? 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？
HOSTESS: Oh, dear, I don\'t know.Is imply don\'t know.女老板：天哪，我不知道。我真不知道。
OWNER:Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had iued two notes in this amount ...Anyway, I don\'t think it can be a fake.People would pay too much attention to a bank note of this amount.No thief would want that to happen.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。 HOSTESS: But he\'s in rags! 女老板：但是他穿得破破烂烂的！
OWNER:Perhaps he\'s a very strange, rich man.(as if he has discovered something for the first time) Why, yes! That must be it! 店主：也许他是一个非常怪异而富有的人。（如梦初醒似的）啊，对了，一定是这样的。
HOSTESS: (hits her husband\'s arm) And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go and see him at once.
3 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。
OWNER:(to Henry) I\'m so sorry, sir, so sorry, but I cannot change this banknote.店主：（对亨利）先生，对不起，非常对不起，这张钞票我们找不开。 HENRY: But it\'s all I have on me.亨利：而我身上就只带了这张钞票。
OWNER:Oh, please, don\'t worry, sir.Doesn\'t matter at all.We\'re so very glad that you even entered our little eating place.Indeed, sir, I hope you\'ll come here whenever you like.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。 HENRY: Well, that\'s very kind of you.亨利：这，你太好了。
OWNER:Kind, sir? No, it\'s kind of you.You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like.Just having you sit here is a great honour! As for the bill,sir, please forget it.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。
HENRY: Forget it? Well ...thank you very much.That\'s very nice of you.亨利：忘了它？喔……，那就太谢谢了。你太好了。
OWNER:Oh, it\'s for us to thank you, sir and I do, sir, from the bottom of my heart.(The owner, hoste and waiter all bow as Henry leaves.) 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）
