12、ooge looked around him angrily. It was Christmas and his only friend Jacob Marley, had been dead for seven years. What was there for him to celebrate? He listened with growing anger to the people calling out greetings in the street andgrowled athis nephew Bob Cratchit, who was just getting up to go
13、home. “Merry Christmas, uncle,” called Bob as he hurried out of the door. Scrooge sighed. He might just as well go to bed. He picked up his candle, locked the door of his office and climbed the stairs to his living quarters. Aware that he should not waste his candle, he quickly undressed and climbed
14、 into bed. But no sooner had he done so than he heard a deep, changing noise of chains and the groans of a person in pain. “Whos that?” he cried in fear. “Its just me!” replied the ghostly figure of Jacob Marley. Scrooge opened his eyes and stared. Marley was covered in chains, and looked extremely
15、miserable. “Whats the matter, Jacob?” he asked. “These are the chains I made in my life,” answered the ghost. “Im forced to wander around with no rest and no peace. I have come here to warn you that if you do not change, this too will be your fate. You will be visited by three spirits. Expect the fi
16、rst one tomorrow when the clock strikes one. Expect the second and the third on the following nights at the same hour.” With that Marley vanished. Scrooge rushed to the window to see if he could catch a glimpse of him. But it was no use. “Humbug!” he said and going back to bed, fell fast asleep. Whe
17、n Scrooge awoke it was dark. He listened for the clock. It struck one. At that sound, light flashed into the room and there stood what looked like a young boy. “Who are you?” asked Scrooge in an unsteady voice. “Im the spirit of Christmas past,” replied the ghost. “Come with me.” Then taking Scrooge
18、s hand he seemed to lead him out of the bedroom and into a leafy lane. “Do you remember this?” he asked. Scrooge did. He watched coaches arrive and people dismount. He heard the happy cries of welcome, and looking around he found himself, as he used to be, sitting on a chair and reading. “Its Christ
19、mas! Lets enjoy ourselves,” cried a friendly, jolly-looking man. Suddenly there was a band to play music and everyone was joining in. Scrooge watched his younger self dance and laugh as much as any of the others. “Strange,” said the ghost, “that such little things should make people so happy.” Then
20、the scene changed. Scrooge saw himself with a young lady. She looked unhappy. “I know you love another more than me,” she cried. “Impossible,” cried Scrooge, starting up. “No, my dear, you love money more than you can ever love me ” At that the pictures faded. Scrooge felt an unbearable pain. “Take
21、me away, ghost,” he cried. The spirit let his hand go and Scrooge sank down into a deep sleep. When he awoke again, it was again dark. The clock sounded one again. “Was it possible?” he thought. But there was no time for thought as the second spirit was already with him. This fat and jolly spirit wa
22、s smiling and contented. “Im the spirit of Christmas present,” he said. “Where am I to go tonight?” asked Scrooge. “Wait and see!” said the ghost. “Come and take my hand.” Yet again Scrooge grasped the spirits hand and was transported to a small house filled with a number of children and their mothe
23、r. “Why, its my nephew Bobs house,” cried Scrooge in astonishment. His surprise increased when the door opened and in came Bob carrying a small, sick boy, Tiny Tim. “Sit down,” cried Bob to his family. “Lets have the best Christmas dinner ever!” They all began to eat eagerly. After the goose, a deli
24、cious pudding was served. Scrooge watched in wonder at the happiness and contentment of his poor nephews family. “A Merry Christmas to us all!” cried Bob. “God bless us everyone!” added Tiny Tim. He sat very close to his father and Bob held his thin hand tightly. “Spirit,” cried Scrooge. “Will Tiny
25、Tim live?” “If the future remains the same,” said the spirit, “there will be an empty chair next year.” While Scrooge was talking to the ghost, Bob had risen from the table. “A toast,” he cried. “A toast to the giver of this feast. Lets drink to Uncle Scrooge.” “But,” exclaimed his wife, “nobody kno
26、ws better than you know how hard that man is.” “But its Christmas Day, my dear,” said her husband mildly. “Well, for you and the children but not for him,” was her reply. As the family all raised their glasses, the spirit moved Scrooge away. Again he fell asleep as he fell back into his bed. The thi
27、rd night he woke and waited for the hour and the third spirit. This time the spirit didnt come in a flash of light but arrived quietly wearing a black cloth that covered its face and form. It held out a bony finger to Scrooge saying, “Im the spirit of Christmas that is to come.” Scrooge took the fin
28、ger and immediately found himself in a dark room. Two people seemed to be sorting out clothes and pricing furniture. “I hear he was so mean that he never washed his clothes more than once a year!” said one. “I dont doubt it,” said the other, “they smell bad. Fancy him dying last night! I wonder wher
29、e his money is.” The two women searched the room and the clothes but found nothing. “Who is the man they speak about?” asked Scrooge very worried. The spirit pointed and led him to a large stone. It was at the foot of a grave(坟墓) that was clearly neglected. Scrooge looked closer with trembling finge
30、rs and with horror read his own name on the stone. “Oh, spirit, no, no!” The spirits finger remained steady pointing at the grave. “I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year,” cried Scrooge in terror. He reached out to hold the spirits hand, but it slipped away. Scrooge loo
31、ked around him. He saw he was in his own bed with his own thing around him.“I have learned from the past, present and the future,” he cried. Leaping up he rushed to the window and shouted to the boys below: “What day is it today?” “Why, its Christmas Day,” they replied in amazement. “Wonderful,” cri
32、ed Scrooge. He had not missed a day and now was his chance to put things right! He rushed to his office to wait for Bob Cratchit. When he entered, Scrooge pretended to look angry. “Do you know what day it is, my boy?” he asked an anxious Bob. “Im not going to stand for this any longer,” he continued
33、, “and so Im going to raise your salary.” Bob looked amazed. “A Merry Christmas, Bob,” cried Scrooge slapping him on the back. “I want to help you and your family. Lets talk about it this very afternoon.”Scrooge kept his word to the spirits. They never needed to visit him again. He helped Bob and hi
34、s family (and especially Tiny Tim who did not die). He became a good master, a good friend and a good man. Ever afterwards it was said of him that he knew how to keep Christmas well.Words and expressions:carol n. （圣诞）颂歌；欢乐之歌 living quarters 住所 nephew n. 侄子；外甥no soonerthan 一 就; 立即 clang vt. & vi. 叮当响
