Carol圣诞欢歌在时间上都发生在圣诞前的一天

Unit7AChristmasCarol戏剧AChristmasCarol〔圣诞欢歌〕在时间上都发生在圣诞前的一天，但又可以细细分为四个不同场景：第一个场景发生在Scrooge的办公室，人物有Scrooge和他的雇员BobCratchit，情节为Scrooge阻止Bob用蜡烛暖手，阻止Bob向Scrooge请假过圣诞节，展现了Scrooge对人苛刻、吝啬、自私的一面。第二个场景发生在Scrooge和他的外甥Fred之间，情节为Fred邀请他舅舅Scrooge一起庆祝圣诞，但是Scrooge断然拒绝，还奚落了Fred，从中可以看出Scrooge没有亲情、惟利是图的本性。第三个场景发生在Scrooge和一位慈善机构的先生之间，慈善机构的先生向Scrooge募捐，然而Scrooge非但分文不给，相反还建议把那些穷人关进监狱，从这个场景我们可以看出Scrooge没有社会责任感、缺乏怜悯心的特点。第四个场景发生在圣诞前夜Scrooge的梦中，主要人物为SantaClaus〔圣诞老人〕和Scrooge，圣诞老人前来提醒Scrooge所做过的梦。在第四个场景后面还留下了一个悬念，让我们思考接下去Scrooge将会发生什么变化。为后面阅读IntegratingSkills中的AChristmasCarol的第二局部埋下良好的伏笔。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
