吉姆走进商店

J:Excuse me,could I sell a watch here?

S:(上下打量的眼神) You? Sell a watch? I'm sorry, I don't think a man who has a economic brain will buy a

thing which is as useless as litter.

J:(诚恳又着急)No, it is a gold watch!(脱下手腕上的手表) It's the most valuable thing I have.

S:(不屑一顾)Oh?The most valuable?I have to see how rare a watch can a poor man own like you !

J:(递表)It's the third succession of my ancesters. A: Oh, what a reluctant give up!

S:(抢过表，忽然两眼放光) Amm, it's a true gold watch. Wait for a moment.I'll ask my boss.

J:Yes, it is the very thing that my wife has wanted for a long time! A:His wife?Comb?

happy wife! 第三场

人物：安琪（A），吉姆（J），德拉（D） MAGI JIM DELLA 地点：吉姆和德拉的家

德拉拿着镜子欣赏着自己的新发型

A: What a poor woman,she looked wonderfully like a truant schoolboy.However,she is a happy wife,too.

Her husband loves her so much.

D:(对着镜子自言自语)If Jim doesn't kill me,before he takes a second look at me,he'll say I like a chorus girl

of Coney Island.But I have no choice.Oh!What can I do with one dollar and eighty-seven cents?Please God,

let Jim still consider that I'm still pretty .

D:I don't know whether he'll continue love me. 吉姆进门，愣住，用奇怪的眼神打量德拉 J：Della?

D: Jim, darling. Don't look at me in this way.I had my hair cut and sold, because I can't forgive me if I were

not give a presant to you.You won't care about it, will you?You know,my hair grows very fast. Say \

Christmas\Jim! And let's happy as usual. You don't know what a nice , what a beautiful gift I've bought for you.

J:(似乎没反应过来，吃力地) You've cut your hair?

D:Cut and sold .(握住吉姆的手)You will love me forever no matter what hapens, is it right？Without my

hair, I am the same. Don't you think so？

J:(用近乎白痴的眼神，四下张望着屋子，似乎在寻找着什么)You mean that your hair has gone?

D:You need't look for it.I'd sold it.I tell you,cut and sold. Tonight is Chirstmas Eve, Jim. I sold my hair

was all for you. My hair are countable,but nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim？

吉姆从恍惚中清醒过来，拥住德拉

A: Oh,look at the shabby house,which costs eight dollars,or one millon room charge a year,There are no different.

J: (吉姆从口袋掏出一包东西，扔到桌上) Don't make any mistakes about me, Della. I don't think there's

anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.But

if you'll upwrap the package,you may realize why you had me going while at first. 德拉敏捷地打开盒子，一阵狂喜，而后神经质地大笑了

D:My hair grows so fast, Jim. Oh,oh! Isn't it a danndy,Jim?（将盒子紧紧抱在怀中，掏出表链放到吉姆手中）

I hunted all over town to find it. You can look at the time a hundred times a day now.Give me your watch,

I want to see how it looks on it.

J:(微笑)Della,let's put our Chirstmas presents away and keep them a while.They're too nice to use just at

present. I sold the watch to get money to buy your combs. And now, suppose you put the chops on.

A: Now that, it isn't necessary.For me,the angle of love, giving the gift to the happy couple.They give the

most valuable and priceless gifts to each other. That is what I want to give -- Love!
