The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset 原文 Chapter 2: The directors of the Opera House The Opera House was famous, and the directors of the Opera House were very important men. It was the first week of work for the two new directors. Mr. Armand Moncharmin and Mr. Firmin Richard. In the director's office the next day, the two men talked about Joseph Buquet. "It was an accident," Mr. Armand said angrily. "Or Bouquet killed himself." "An accident? .…… killed himself?"Mr. Firmin said. "Which story do you want, my friend? Or do you want the story of the ghost?" "Don't talk tome about ghosts!" Mr. Arrmand said. "We have 1500 people working for us in this Opera House and everybody is talking about the ghost. They are all mad! I don't want to hear about the ghost. Okay? " Mr. Firmin looked at a letter on the table next to him. "And what are we going to do about this letter, Armand?". "Do?",cried Mr. Arrmand. "Why, do nothing,of course! What can we do?" The two men read the letter again. It wasn't very long. To the new directors.Because you are new in the Opera House, I am writing to tell you some important things. Never sell tickets for Box 5. That is my box for every Opera night. Madame Giry, the doorkeeper, knows all about it. Also, I need money for my work in the Opera House.I am not expensive, and I am happy to take only 20,000 francs a month. That is all. But please remember, I can be a good friend, but a bad enemy. OG. "Don't sell tickets for Box 5! 20,000 francs a month!"Mr. Armand was very angry again. "That's the best box in the Opera House, and we need the money, Firmin! And who is this O.G.,eh? Tell me that!" "Opera ghost,of course," Mr. Firmin said. "But you're right, Armand. We can do nothing about this letter. It's a joke, a bad joke. Somebody thinks we are fools, because we are new here. That are no ghosts in the Opera House!" The two men then talked about the opera for that night. It was Faust, and usually La Carlotta of sang Margarita. La Carlotta was Spanish, and the best singer in Paris. But today, La Carlotta was ill. "Everybody in Paris is going to be at the opera tonight," said Mr. Armand, "and our best singer is ill. Suddenly! She writes a letter to us just this morning, she is ill, she cannot sing tonight!" "Don't get angry again, Armand," Mr. Firmin said quickly. "We have Christine Daae, that young singer from Norway. She can sing Margarita tonight. She has a good voice." "But she's so young., and nobody knows her! Nobody wants to listen to a news singer." "Wait and see.Perhaps Daae can sing better than La Carlotta. Who knows?" 翻译 第二章:歌剧院的主管们 歌剧院很有名，歌剧院的主管们都是非常重要的人物。 这是两位新主任工作的第一周。 阿曼德·蒙查曼先生和菲尔曼·理查德先生。 第二天，在主任的办公室里，两个人谈到了约瑟夫·比凯。 “这是个意外，”阿尔芒生气地说。“或者是波格自杀了。” “意外?.......自杀了?”菲尔曼说。 “你想听哪个故事，我的朋友?还是你想听鬼的故事?” “别跟我谈鬼!”阿尔芒说。 “我们有1500人在歌剧院为我们工作，每个人都在谈论鬼魂。他们都疯了!我不想听鬼的事。没事吧?” 菲尔曼先生看了看旁边桌子上的一封信。 “阿尔芒，这封信怎么办呢?” “怎么办?”阿尔芒先生叫道。 “当然，什么也不做!”我们能做什么呢?” 那两个人又读了一遍信。 它不是很长。 致新任主管。因为你是歌剧院的新人，所以我写信告诉你一些重要的事情。不要卖5号包厢的票。那是我每个歌剧之夜的包厢。守门人吉丽夫人知道这一切。还有，我需要钱在歌剧院工作。我并不贵，一个月只拿两万法郎我就心满意足了。就这些。但请记住，我可以是一个好朋友，而不是一个坏敌人。o.g. “不要卖5号包厢的票!”一个月两万法郎!”阿尔芒先生又生气了。 “那是歌剧院最好的包厢，我们需要钱，菲尔曼!”这个o.g.是谁?快告诉我!” “当然是歌剧幽灵，”菲尔曼先生说。 “您说得对，阿尔芒。我们对这封信无能为力。这是个玩笑，一个糟糕的玩笑。有人认为我们是傻瓜，因为我们是新来的。歌剧院里没有鬼!” 然后这两个人谈论了那天晚上的歌剧。 那是《浮士德》，通常是拉·卡洛塔唱的玛格丽塔。 拉·卡洛塔是西班牙人，是巴黎最好的歌手。 但今天，拉·卡洛塔病了。 “今晚巴黎的每个人都要去看歌剧，”阿尔芒先生说，“我们最好的歌唱家病了。突然!她今天早上刚刚给我们写了一封信，她病了，今晚不能唱歌了!” “别再生气了，阿尔芒，”菲尔曼先生赶紧说。“我们有克里斯汀·达埃，那个来自挪威的年轻歌手。她今晚可以唱玛格丽塔。她有一副好嗓子。” “但她太年轻了。没有人认识她!没人想听一个新闻歌手的歌。” “等着瞧吧。也许达埃唱得比拉·卡洛塔好。谁知道呢?”

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset 词汇提示 1.phantom 幽灵 原文 Story Background The Opera House in Paris is a very famous and beautiful building. It is the biggest Opera House in the world. Work on the building began in 1861 finished in 1875 and cost 47 million francs. It has 17 floors 10 above the ground, and 7 under the ground. Behind and under the stage, there are stairs and passages and many many rooms. Dressing rooms for the singers and the dancers, rooms for the stage workers, the opera dresses and shoes. There are more than 2500 doors in the building. You can walk for hours and never see daylight under the Paris Opera House. And the Opera House has a ghost, a phantom, a man in black clothes. He is a body without a head or a head without a body. He has a yellow face. He has no nose. He has black holes for eyes. This is the true story of the Phantom of the Opera. It begins one day in 1880 in the dancer's dressing room. Chapter 1: The dancers "Quick, quick, close the door. It's him." Annie Sorelli ran into the dressing room, a face white. One of the girls ran and close the door. And then they all turned to Annie Sorelli. "Who? Where? What's the matter?" They cried. "It's the ghost" Annie said. "In the passage, I saw him. He came through the wall in front of me! And ... and I saw his face!" Most of the girls were afraid, but one of them, at all girl with black hair laughed. "Pooh!" she said. "Everybody says they see the Opera ghost, but there isn't really a ghost. You saw a shadow on the wall". But, she did not open the door or look into the passage. "Lots of people see him," a second girl said. "Joseph Buquet saw him two days ago. Don't you remember?" Then all the girls began to talk at once. "Joseph says the ghost is tall, and he wears a black evening coat". "He has the head of a dead man, with a yellow face and no nose.…." "... And no eyes - only black holes!". Then, little Meg Giry spoke for the first time. "Don't talk about him. He doesn't like it. My mother told me." "Your mother?" The girl with black hair said. "What does your mother know about the ghost?" "She says that Joseph Buquet is a fool. The ghost doesn't like people talking about him, and one day Joseph Buquet is going to be sorry, very sorry." "But what does your mother know? Tell us tell us" All the girls cried. "Oh dear!", said Meg. "But please don't say a word to anyone. You know my mother is the doorkeeper for some of the boxes in the Opera House. Well, Box 5 is the ghost's box!. He watches the Operas from that box, and sometimes he leaves flowers for my mother!" "The ghost has a box! And leaves flowers in it!" "Oh, Meg, your mother's telling you stories! How can the ghost have a box?" "It's true. It's true. I tell you!" Meg said. "Nobody buys tickets for box 5, but the ghost always comes to it on opera nights." "So somebody does come there?" "Why, no! the ghost comes, but there is nobody there." The dances looked at Meg. "But how does your mother know?" One of them asked. "There's no man in a black evening coat, with a yellow face. That's all wrong. My mother never sees the ghost in Box 5, but she hears him! He talks to her, but there is nobody there. And he doesn't like people talking about him!". But that evening, the dancers could not stop talking about the Opera ghost. They talked before the opera, all through the opera, and after the opera. But they talked very quietly, and they looked behind them before they spoke. When the opera finished, the girls went back to their dressing room. Suddenly, they heard somebody in the passage, and Madame Giry, Meg's mother, ran into the room. She was a fat, motherly woman, with a red happy face. But tonight, face was white. "Oh, girls," she cried. "Joseph Buquet is dead! You know he works a long way down, on the fourth floor under the stage. The other stage workers found his dead body there an hour ago, with a rope around his neck!". "It's the ghost!" cried Meg Giry."The ghost killed him!". 翻译 故事的背景 巴黎歌剧院是一座非常著名和美丽的建筑。 它是世界上最大的歌剧院。 这座建筑始建于1861年，于1875年完工，耗资4700万法郎。 它有17层，地上10层，地下7层。 在舞台的后面和下面，有楼梯、通道和许多房间。歌手和舞者的化妆室，舞台工作人员的化妆室，还有戏服和鞋子。 大楼里有2500多扇门。 你可以在巴黎歌剧院下走上几个小时，却看不到日光。 歌剧院里有一个鬼，一个幽灵，一个穿黑衣服的人。 他是一个没有头的身体，或者是一个没有身体的头。 他有一张黄脸。 他没有鼻子。 他的眼睛像黑洞一样。 这是《歌剧魅影》的真实故事。 故事始于1880年的一天，在舞者的化妆间里。 第一章:舞者 “快，快，把门关上。这是他。”安妮·索雷利跑进化妆室，脸色煞白。 其中一个女孩跑过去把门关上。 然后他们都转向安妮·索雷利。 “谁?在哪里?怎么啦?”他们哭了。 “是鬼，”安妮说。 “在过道里，我看见了他。他在我面前穿墙而入!和…我看见了他的脸!” 大多数女孩都很害怕，但其中一个黑发女孩笑了。 “呸!”她说。“每个人都说他们看到了歌剧院的鬼，但实际上并没有鬼。你看到墙上有个影子。” 但是，她没有打开门，也没有往走廊里看。 “很多人看到他，”另一个女孩说。“约瑟夫·比凯两天前见过他。你不记得了吗?” 然后所有的女孩立刻开始说话。 “约瑟夫说鬼魂很高，穿着一件黑色晚礼服。” “他长着死人的头，黄脸，没有鼻子.....” “…而且没有眼睛——只有黑洞!” 然后，小梅格·吉丽第一次开口说话了。“别说他了。他不喜欢它。我妈妈告诉我的。” “你妈妈?”黑发女孩说。“关于鬼魂，你妈妈知道些什么?” “她说约瑟夫·比凯是个傻瓜。鬼魂不喜欢人们谈论他，总有一天约瑟夫·比凯会后悔的，非常后悔的。” “可是你妈妈知道什么?告诉我们，告诉我们”所有的女孩都哭了。 “哦，天哪!”麦格说。“但是请不要告诉任何人。你知道我妈妈是歌剧院一些包厢的看门人。5号包厢是鬼的包厢!他在那个包厢里看歌剧，有时还会给我妈妈送花!” “鬼有一个包厢! 里面还有花!” “噢，麦格，你妈妈在给你讲故事呢!鬼怎么会有包厢呢?” “这是真的。这是真的。我告诉你!”梅格说。“没有人买5号包厢的票，但在歌剧之夜，鬼魂总是来这里。” “那么，确实有人到那儿去了?” “为什么,不!鬼来了，但那里没有人。” 跳舞的人看着梅格。 “可你妈妈是怎么知道的?”其中一个问道。 “没有一个穿黑色晚礼服、黄脸的男人。这都是错的。我妈妈从来没见过5号包厢的鬼，但她听到了!他和她说话，但那里没有人。而且他不喜欢人们谈论他!” 但那天晚上，跳舞的人不停地谈论着歌剧院的幽灵。 他们在歌剧开始前，在歌剧的整个过程中，在歌剧结束后都在交谈。 但他们说话的声音很轻，说话前都回头看了看。 歌剧结束后，女孩们回到了她们的化妆间。 突然，他们听到走廊里有人，麦格的母亲吉丽夫人跑进了房间。 她是一个肥胖的、慈母般的女人，红着一张快乐的脸。 但今晚，脸是白的。 “哦，姑娘们，”她叫道。“约瑟夫·比凯死了!”你知道他在很远的地方工作，在舞台下面的四楼。一小时前，其他工作人员在那里发现了他的尸体，脖子上缠着一根绳子!” “是鬼!”梅格·吉丽叫道。“是鬼杀了他!”

Tom!" There was no answer. "Where is that boy? Tom!" Aunt Polly looked under the bed but she only found the cat. "Tom!"she cried. Then she heard a noise behind her. A small boy ran past and she stopped him with her hand. "What are you doing, Tom?" she asked. "Nothing." "Nothing.Look at your hand and your mouth. I told you not to eat the jam." "Oh,Aunt Polly, look behind you!" The old lady looked and Tom ran away. Aunt Polly was surprised and then she laughed. "I never learn. Tom always plays tricks on me and I never learn. I love Tom. He's my sister's child - she's dead. But it's not easy to look after him. Tomorrow is Saturday and there's no school. But Tom must work tomorrow. He hates work but he must do it." Tom lived in the small village of St Petersburg with his Aunt Polly, his brother Sid and his sister Mary. The summer evenings were long, and in the evenings Tom liked walking around the village. One evening he saw a big boy in front of him. The boy was a stranger. Tom was surprised because he did not see new people often. This boy had very nice, expensive clothes. "He's got shoes, a new shirt and a tie. And it's not Sunday," Tom thought."My clothes are old and ugly." Tom looked at him and the big boy looked at Tom. Tom did not like him. Finally he said, "I can beat you!" "Why don't you try?" said the boy. "Well,I can," said Tom. "No,you can't." "Yes,I can." There was silence. "You're afraid," said the boy. "I'm not afraid," said Tom. "Yes,you are." "No,I'm not." There was more silence. Then Tom pushed the boy and the boy pushed Tom. Soon they were on the ground. Tom pulled the boy's hair and hit him hard. They both fought a lot. The big boy was angry and started crying. "Stop," he said, "Stop!" "Now,that will teach you something," said Tom. Tom arrived home late and he was very dirty. When Aunt Polly saw his dirty clothes, she thought, "What can I do with this boy? Well,tomorrow is Saturday, and he must work." Saturday morning was beautiful and sunny. It was summer and the world was happy. Tom sat in front of the fence and looked at it. It was thirty yards long and nine feet high. He was very unhappy. "It's Saturday and I must paint this long fence. All my friends will laugh at me," he thought. He put his long brush in the white paint and started painting. He stopped and looked at his work. Then he continued painting. After a few minutes he had a great idea. He continued painting the fence. He saw his friend Ben Rogers in the street. Ben had an apple in his hand. He came to look at the fence. "You'reworking for your aunt," said Ben. Tom said nothing. He continued painting. "I'm going swimming but you can't come with me. You're working," said Ben. "Do you call this work?" asked Tom. "Of course it's work. You're painting a fence, "said Ben. "Maybe it's work but maybe it isn't. I like it!" said Tom, "I can swim everyday, but I can't paint a fence every day." Ben watched Tom. He painted slowly and carefully. He often stopped and moved back from the fence. He looked at his work and smiled. Ben was suddenly interested in the fence and said, "Let me paint a little,Tom." Tom thought for a moment. "I'm sorry, Ben. Aunt Polly wants me to do it because I'm very good at painting. My brother Sid wanted to do it, but he's not good at painting." "Oh,please, Tom! Please can I paint? I'm good at painting too. Here,you can have some of my apple." "No, Ben, I can't -" "Then take all of my apple!" Tom was happy but he did not smile. He gave Ben the brush and sat down to eat the apple. Tom's other friends came by. At first they laughed at him. But soon they all wanted to paint the fence. Billy Fisher gave Tom a kite and Johnny Miller brought him a dead rat. His other friends gave him an old knife, a cat with one eye, an old blue bottle, an old key and other interesting things. His friends painted the fence and Tom now had a lot of interesting things. He went back home. "Aunt Polly, can I go to play now?" When Aunt Polly saw the beautiful white fence she was very happy. She gave Tom a big apple and said, "Yes, go and play! But don't come home late!"

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson 原文 Chapter 10: The End The pirates thought about the treasure and they were happy. They ate their breakfast quickly and we all started to walk along the beach. 'We must go this way, and look for a tall tree,'said Silver. There were a lot of tall trees on the island and the pirates ran to look at all of them. Then one of the pirates said, 'Here!' Near a tree was a dead man. 'He was a sailor,' said one of the pirates. 'Look at his jacket! But what's he doing here? When did he die?' 'Flint killed him years ago,' said Silver. 'He's showing us the way to the treasure. Follow his arm.Come on! This way.' The pirates followed quietly. They were afraid. We climbed a hill, then we sat down. Suddenly we heard singing. 'It's Flint!' said one man, his face very white. 'No,' said Silver.'Not Flint. Flint's dead. Remember the treasure, my boys, and don't be afraid!' But all the pirates had white faces. Silver listened carefully to the singing. 'That's not Flint!' he said. 'It's ... it's Ben Gunn! We're not afraid of Ben Gunn!' The singing stopped and we moved on. After twenty minutes,we saw a very big tree on top of a hill. The pirates started to run. But they did not find any treasure. Under the tree they found an old box. There was nothing init. Flint's treasure was not there. For a long time, the six pirates sat and said nothing. Then Silver turned to me. 'Be very careful,Jim,' he said quietly. 'These men are dangerous.' He gave me a gun. The pirates looked at us and we looked back at them. Suddenly, from the trees, guns started to shoot. Two of the pirates dropped to the ground and the other three ran away. The doctor and Ben Gunn ran out of the trees and started to run after the pirates. 'They can't getaway,' said Silver. 'And you, Ben Gunn, what are you doing here?' 'Ben found the treasure a long time ago,' said the doctor. 'He moved it to his home on the island. So I gave the pirates Flint's map and we left the house and went to stay with Ben.' We took one of the pirate's boats, and broke the other. 'The pirates haven't got a boat now,' said the doctor. 'They can't follow us.' Then we went round the island to find the Hispaniola. At last, we found our ship and met Mr. Trelawney and Captain Smollett. 'What are you doing here, John Silver?' asked the captain. 'I'm here to help you,' said Silver. 'Ah,' said the captain. I had a good dinner that night with all my friends. We were all happy. Silver ate and drank and smiled and laughed too. The next morning, we started to carry the treasure to the ship. We did not see the three pirates on the island. Three days later, we finished our work. We heard the pirates singing loudly, but we did not see them. We left some boxes of food for the pirates, and started across the sea to the nearest town. We were happy when we arrived there. And there Silver left us. We were in the town and he got away. He took some of the treasure with him, too. And so, after some weeks at sea, we arrived home with our treasure. I never wanted to go back to that island again.
