原著正文 · 英语

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.

首先，马利已经死了。这一点毫无疑问。他的下葬登记簿上有牧师、教区执事、殡仪员和主祭人的签名。斯克鲁奇也签了字；而且在交易所里，无论斯克鲁奇经手什么买卖，他的名字都是响当当的信用保证。

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.

对照译文

噢！但斯克鲁奇可真是个守财奴，一把在磨刀石上也榨不出油来的铁算盘！一个盘剥、勒索、贪得无厌、拼命搜刮的老罪人！他像燧石一样又硬又冷，どんな钢刀也没从他身上擦出过慷慨的火花；他又像牡蛎一样诡秘、封闭、孤僻。

When Scrooge awoke, it was so dark, that looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the transparent window from the opaque walls of his chamber. He was endeavouring to pierce the darkness with his ferret eyes, when the chimes of a neighbouring church struck the four quarters.

当斯克鲁奇醒来时，屋里黑漆漆的，他从床上望出去，几乎分辨不出哪儿是透明的窗户，哪儿是卧室不透光的墙壁。他正竭力用那双雪貂般的眼睛刺穿黑暗，这时附近一座教堂的钟声敲响了四个刻钟。

So he listened for the hour. To his great astonishment the heavy bell went on from six to seven, and from seven to eight, and regularly up to twelve; then stopped. Twelve! It was past two when he went to bed. The clock was wrong.

于是他竖起耳朵听报时的钟声。令他大为惊愕的是，沉重的钟声从六下敲到七下，从七下敲到八下，一直有条不紊地敲到了十二下，然后停住了。十二点！他上床睡觉时就已经过了两点了。这钟准是坏了。
