圣诞颂歌第五章内容概括英文

"Hallo!" growled Scrooge in his accustomed voice as near as he

could feign it. "What do you mean by coming here at this time of day?"

"I am very sorry, sir," said Bob. "I _am_ behind my time."

"You are!" repeated Scrooge. "Yes. I think you are. Step this way, sir,

if you please."

"It's only once a year, sir," pleaded Bob, appearing from the tank. "It

shall not be repeated. I was making rather merry yesterday, sir."

"Now, I'll tell you what, my friend," said Scrooge. "I am not going to

stand this sort of thing any longer. And therefore," he continued, leaping

from his stool, and giving Bob such a dig in the waistcoat that he

staggered back into the tank again: "and therefore I am about to raise

your salary!"

Bob trembled, and got a little nearer to the ruler. He had a

momentary idea of knocking Scrooge down with it, holding him, and

calling to the people in the court for help and a strait-waistcoat.

"A merry Christmas, Bob!" said Scrooge with an earnestness that

could not be mistaken, as he clapped him on the back. "A merrier

Christmas, Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year!

I'll raise your salary, and endeavour to assist your struggling family, and

we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon, over a Christmas bowl of

smoking bishop, Bob! Make up the fires and buy another coal-scuttle

before you dot another i, Bob Cratchit!"

Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more;

and to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, he was a second father. He became as

good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man as the good old City

knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough in the good old world.

Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh,

and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing

ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not

have their fill of laughter in the outset; and, knowing that such as these

would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should

wrinkle up their eyes in grins as have the malady in less attractive forms.

His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.

He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the

Total-Abstinence Principle ever afterwards; and it was always said of him

that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the

knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny

Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!
