Nephew. Keep it? But you don't keep it!

Scrooge. Let me leave it alone then. What good has Christmas ever done you?
斯克魯奇：那就讓我一個人呆著吧。圣誕節對你有什么好處？
Nephew. Christmas is a kind time, a time to think of those who need help. It is a time when people smile and say cheery words.
侄子：圣誕節是個美好的時刻，讓人們想起那些需要幫助的人。一到圣誕節，人們就微笑著互敬愉快的話語。

侄子：你在圣誕節可以幫助鮑勃·克拉特基特。他需要幫助，他那瘸腳的兒子小提姆需要幫助。

斯克魯奇：你干嘛來這里？讓鮑勃·克拉特基特自己救自己吧！我很富有，但是誰讓我富有的呢？是圣誕節嗎？
Nephew. Don't be angry, uncle! Come! Have dinner with us tomorrow. You must be lonely.
侄子：別生氣，叔叔！來吧！明天和我們一起吃晚飯，你一定很孤單。
Scrooge. I never give dinners to anyone, and I never take them with anyone. A foolish custom!

If you have nothing better to say, good night!
如果你沒什么好說的，那就晚安吧！

[Scrooge's nephew goes out. Scrooge sits by the fire, scraping the bowl and scowling. Suddenly, bells begin to ring gayly.
[斯克魯奇的侄子出去了，斯克魯奇坐在火爐旁，皺著眉頭刮著手中的碗。突然，鈴聲歡快地響起來。
The door opens, and the Christmas Fairy, young and beautiful, comes in. A bright star shines on her forehead, and she holds a wand of holly.]
門開了，年輕漂亮的圣誕仙女走進屋。一顆明亮的星星在她的額頭上閃亮，她手里拿著一根冬青枝。]
