[Bob Cratchit stands up, with carving knife in hand, ready to carve the goose. Tiny Tim and Fanny and Dick beat upon the table with the handles of their knives.]
(鲍勃·克拉奇特站起来,手里拿着切肉刀,准备切烤鹅。小蒂姆、范妮和迪克用刀把敲打着桌子。)
Mrs. Cratchit [Looking up angrily.] Mr. Scrooge, indeed! I wish I had him here! I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon, and I hope he'd have a good appetite for it! Mr. Scrooge, indeed!
克拉奇特太太(生气地抬起头) 还斯克鲁奇先生呢!真希望他在这儿!我非得好好数落他一顿,希望他能“胃口大开”地听着!还斯克鲁奇先生呢!
I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon
这句话直译为“我要给他一点我的想法让他享用” ,意译过来就是“我非得好好数落他一顿” ,“give sb. a piece of one's mind”是一个固定短语,意思是“对某人直言不讳、斥责某人” 。
Bob Cratchit. My dear! Think of the children! And this is Christmas Day!
鲍勃·克拉奇特 亲爱的!想想孩子们!而且今天是圣诞节呀!
Mrs. Cratchit. It should be Christmas Day, in-deed! On what other day could we give good wishes to such a stingy, selfish man?[Shaking her finger gently at her husband.] You know he is, Bob! Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow. Don't you work hard all day for very little pay? Does he ever give you a pleasant word?
克拉奇特太太 确实应该是圣诞节!不然在别的什么日子,我们会向这样一个吝啬、自私的人送上祝福呢?(轻轻地朝丈夫摇了摇手指)你知道他就是这样的人,鲍勃!没人比你更清楚了,可怜的家伙。你整天辛苦工作,报酬却那么少,不是吗?他有跟你说过一句好话吗?
Look at poor Tiny Tim! If you were paid what you earn, we could get help for him. Then he might walk again.
看看可怜的小蒂姆!要是你能拿到应得的报酬,我们就能帮他治病,他说不定就能重新走路了。
Bob Cratchit. [Shaking his head.] My dear! Just to please me! Christmas Day!
鲍勃·克拉奇特(摇着头)亲爱的!就当是为了让我开心!今天可是圣诞节!
Mrs. Cratchit. Well, then! I'll wish him a Merry Christmas for your sake, and for the sake of Christmas. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Mr. Scrooge!
克拉奇特太太 好吧!那看在你的份上,也看在圣诞节的份上,我祝他圣诞快乐。祝斯克鲁奇先生圣诞快乐,新年快乐!
ALL. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Mr. Scrooge!
众人 祝斯克鲁奇先生圣诞快乐,新年快乐!
Bob Cratchit. A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears! God bless us.
鲍勃·克拉奇特 亲爱的家人们,祝我们大家圣诞快乐!愿上帝保佑我们。
