Carol圣诞欢歌在时间上都发生在圣诞前的一天.ppt

* Unit 7 A Christmas Carol 戏剧A Christmas Carol（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Bob Cratchit，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Santa Claus （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Integrating Skills 中的 A Christmas Carol 的第二部分埋下良好的伏笔。 True or false exercises: (1).
