In it we see old Ebenezer Scrooge, rich, cross, and stingy.
在這個故事里面我們看到年邁的埃比尼澤·斯克魯奇，他富有，但易怒又小氣。
To him Christmas was all humbug and foolishness. But one Christmas a kind fairy helped him learn the greatest lesson in the world.
對他來說，圣誕節完全是虛偽和愚蠢的。但有一個圣誕節，一位善良的仙女幫助他學到了世上最偉大的一課。

Christmas Fairy
圣誕仙女
[Scrooge, in dressing-gown, slippers, and nightcap, sits before a fire. He is eating from a bowl of gruel, and his face is scowling.
[斯克魯奇穿著睡衣、拖鞋和睡帽，坐在火爐前。他正吃著一碗稀粥，臉色陰沉。
Scrooge's nephew comes in, with his face smiling and his eyes sparkling. He looks cheerful and kind.]
斯克魯奇的侄子走進屋，臉上露出笑容，雙眼閃閃發光。他看起來開朗、和藹可親。]
Nephew. A Merry Christmas, uncle!
侄子：圣誕快樂，叔叔！
Scrooge. [Crossly.] Bah! Humbug!
斯克魯奇：[生氣地說。]呸！都是騙人的！
Nephew. Christmas a humbug, uncle? You don't mean that, I am sure.
侄子：圣誕節是騙人的，叔叔？我相信你不是那個意思。
Scrooge. I do. Merry Christmas, indeed! What right have you to be merry? You're poor enough.
斯克魯奇：我就是那個意思。圣誕快樂，真的！你有什么權利快樂？你很窮的。
Nephew. [ Gayly.] Come, then! What right have you to be cross? You're rich enough.
侄子：[快樂地說。]那別這樣了！你有什么權利生氣呢？你那么富有。
Scrooge. Bah! Humbug! You are just like my clerk, Bob Cratchit. He wished me a Merry Christmas today, and he hasn't one sixpence to rub against another.
斯克魯奇：呸！都是騙人的！你就像我的職員，鮑勃·克拉特基特。他今天祝我圣誕快樂，他連一個六便士也沒有。
Nephew. Bob Cratchit has something better than sixpences. He has a heart full of kindness and love. Come, don't be cross, uncle!
侄子：鮑勃·克拉特基特擁有比六便士更好的東西。他有一顆充滿仁慈和愛的心。不要生氣了，叔叔！
Scrooge. What else can I be when I live in such a foolish world? Merry Christmas! Bah! Humbug!
斯克魯奇：我生活在這樣一個愚蠢的世界里，我還能成什么樣？圣誕快樂！呸！都是騙人的！
Nephew. Oh, no! Uncle!
侄子：哦，不是的！叔叔！
Uncle. Nephew! Keep Christmas in your own way and let me keep it in mine.
叔叔：侄子！留好你的圣誕節吧，我用自己的方式保留它。
