The Million Pound Bank Note 百万英镑
When recommending operas, musicals and films on the basis of novels, this is my first option. Mixing a sequence of elements: narrators' narration, dramatic scenes and logical plot, it indicates people’s plastic judgement hidden beneath behaviors.
Henry, a clerk of an American mining company, encountered accidents while sailing. Spotted by another ship, he reached London by accident. With nowhere to take out a loan or seek help, he was about to lose hope when he met two odd brothers who made a bet by giving hima million-pound bank note and promised him a job in return.
People judged by external appearance to such an extent that they either looked aside to ignore Henry or frowned like seeing a dinosaur. In a tailor’s shop, the manager on duty lost patience when Henry hesitated to pay the bill and drove Henry to go downstairs in a rude manner. Having seen the bank note, he apologized with a broad smile and didn’t dare to charge.
Afterwards, Henry went up stairs in the upper class, meeting all sorts of people with different intentions, including the ambassador of American consulate and a girl willing to marry him. To maintain their relationship, Henry postponed telling the truth in case she left him. As a matter of fact, she hugged Henry out of joy after knowing the truth eventually because she indeed didn’t care his money.
To be honest, I suppose it’s normal for us to pursue wealth. In that case, however, we ought to obey legal permission and take moral obligation. As a saying goes, money is a good servant and a bad master.
二、核对译文
在推荐基于小说的歌剧,音乐剧和电影时,《百万英镑》是我的首选。它融合了一系列元素:讲述者的解说,戏剧化的场景,符合逻辑的情节,揭示了人们隐藏在行为之下的易受影响的判断力。
亨利是一家美国采矿公司的职员,他在航行时遭遇了事故。被另一艘船发现后,他意外到了伦敦。他无处贷款或求助,在马上要绝望时遇到了古怪的两兄弟。他们给了亨利一张百万英镑的钞票来打赌,并许诺给他一份工作作为回报。
人们的以外表判断达到如此(严重的)程度以至于他们要么看向一边不理睬亨利,要么像是看到了恐龙一样皱着眉。在一家裁缝店,当亨利为付账而犹豫时,值班的经理失去了耐心,以一种粗鲁的方式驱赶亨利下楼梯。看到那张钞票后,他满脸堆笑着道歉,不敢收钱。
之后,亨利在上流阶层拾级而上,结识了心怀不同意图的各种人士,包括美国领事馆的大使和一个愿意嫁给他的女孩。为了维系他们的关系,亨利推迟了说出真相,以防她离开他。事实上,在最终得知真相后,她开心地拥抱了亨利,因为她实际并不在意他的钱。
说实话,我认为我们追求财富是很正常的。即便如此,我们应该遵守法律许可并承担道德义务。正如一句名言所说,金钱是善仆,也是恶主。
