Bob tries to warm his hands over the candle.) Scrooge: What are you doing there, Bob? Bob: I'm warming my hands, Mr. Scrooge. It's so cold here. Scrooge: Am I paying you 15 shillings a week for warming your hands? Bob: I'm freezing, Mr. Scrooge. Frost stands on the windows. My hands are too cold to write. I can't even read my own handwriting. Scrooge: Too cold to write? Humbug! If you were working harder, you wouldn't be cold. Just put on your overcoat. If I hear another word from you, you will go where it is really cold. Bob: Excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, eh ... tomorrow it's Christmas. Scrooge: So what? You'll want all day off tomorrow, I suppose? Bob: If quite convenient, sir. Scrooge: It's not convenient, and it's not fair. I have to pay you a whole day's wages for no work at all. Bob: It's only Christmas once a year, Mr. Scrooge. Scrooge: That's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December! (朝着另外一个人)Now, who's here? It's my nephew Fred. 场景二 (a young man comes in.) Fred: A Merry Christmas, Uncle (朝着Bob)God save you Scrooge: Bah! Humbug! Fred: Christmas a humbug, Uncle? You don't mean that. Scrooge: I do. Why do you call it ‘merry’ Christmas?You're poor enough。 Fred: What right have you to be so dismal? You’re rich enough. Scrooge: Bah Humbug! Fred: Don’t be cross, Uncle. Scrooge: What else can I be when I live in such a world of fools as this? Merry Christmas? A time for finding yourself a year older and not a dollar richer. Fred:(大声地)Uncle Scrooge
