英语小品剧本--The Gifts （礼物）

 　　The Gifts

　　Mon.：Tomorrow will be Christmas. But Della feels very sad. Because she has no money to buy a present for her husband , Jim . She has only one dollar and eighty-seven cents .  They have only 20 dollars a week, it doesn’t leave much for saving 1.
　　In fact, Della and Jim have two possessions 3 in which they both take very great pride. One is Jim’s gold watch, which has been his father’s and his grandfather’s. The other is Della’s long beautiful hair.
　　D: Life is so hard for me. Though I saved the money for many months , I still have only one dollar and eighty seven cents.
　　D: I---- I---- I have to have my hair cut and sold it . In that way I can get some money and I can buy a beautiful present for Jim.
　　(At the shop—“Madame Sofronie. We Buy Hair Goods 4 of All Kinds”)
　　D: Will you buy my hair?
　　M: Yes, I buy all kinds of hair. Sit down, please. Take your hat off and let me have a look.  Oh, very beautiful. Very good! Twenty dollars , OK?
　　D: All right. But please give it to me quickly.
　　M: Here you are. Twenty dollars.
　　D: Thank you. Bye.
　　M: Bye.
　　Mon.：Della spent two hours in the streets. Then she stopped at a Gold Shop and bought a gold watch chain 5. Now ,Della is at home.
　　D: Oh, what a beautiful gold watch chain. I think it must match Jim's watch. When he sees it he must be very happy .
　　(Suddenly the door opened and in came Jim . )
　　J: You-----?
　　D: Jim. Don’t look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold it because I couldn’t have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. Jim, it will grow quickly. You don’t mind, do you ? I just had to do it. My hair grows very fast, you know. Say “Merry Christmas!” Jim, and let’s be happy.
　　J: You’ve cut off your hair?
　　D: I’ve cut it off and sold it. It’s sold. I tell you -sold and gone, too.   It’s Christmas Eve , Jim. Be good to me, for it went for you.
　　J: Well , Della. Don’t make any mistake about me. I don’t think there’s anything about a hair cut that could make me love you any less.  I know, it went for me. Look at this package .
　　D: What ?
　　J: Look at it yourself. You 'll see.
　　D:Ah! The combs 6. They were in the shop windows for many months!
　　J:Yes, the beautiful combs, pure 7 tortoiseshell, with jewelry 8 rims--just the color to wear in your beautiful, hair.
　　D: But , Jim. They are expensive combs. I know, my heart had longed for them without the least hope of possession 2. Now they are mine. Thank you Jim.
　　J; Now, you will see why I was upset at first.
　　D: Jim, you don’t know what a nice –what a beautiful , nice gift I’ve got for you.  Can you guess?
　　J: I'm sorry. I won't guess.
　　D: Look. A gold watch chain. Isn’t it lovely ,Jim? I hunted 9 all over the town to find it. You’ll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it .
　　J: Della, Let’s put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They’re too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money. And I bought the combs. Now, Let’s have our supper.
　　礼    物
　　旁白：明天是圣诞节，但是德拉觉得很难过，因为她无钱为她丈夫吉姆买一圣诞礼物，她只有1.87美元，他们一个月只有20美元的收入，那很难再从中省钱了。
　　事实上，德拉和吉姆有两件让他们引以为豪的宝贝，一件是吉姆的金表，那是从他祖父和父亲那里留传下来的，还有一件是德拉那一头棕发，又长又美丽。
　　德拉：生活对我来说很困难，虽然我很多个月以前就开始存钱了，我仍然只有1.87美元。
　　德拉：我……我……我不得不剪了头发去卖掉，那样我就能得到一些钱去买礼物给吉姆了。
　　（在店门口，写着“夫人：我们买各种各样的头发”）
　　德拉：你买我的头发吗？
　　夫人：是的，我们买各式的头发，把你的帽子脱下来，让我看一下你的头发。哦，很美的头发，很好的发质，20美元，行不行？
　　德拉：好的，但是请你快点把钱给我。
　　夫人：给你，20美元。
　　德拉：谢谢你，再见。
　　夫人：再见。
　　旁白：德拉在街上逛了2个小时，然后她在一家金店止步，进去买了一条金表链。现在德拉正在家里。
　　德拉：哦，多么漂亮的金链子，我想那一定跟吉姆的手表很配，当他看到它的时候，一定会很高兴的。
　　（突然门打开了，吉姆走了进来）
　　吉姆：你……？
　　德拉：吉姆，不要那样看着我，我剪了我的头发并卖了，因为我无法度过一个我不送你圣诞节礼物的圣诞节，吉姆，它会长得很快的，你不会介意的，是不是？我必须这么做，我的头发长得很快的，这你是知道的，说：“圣诞快乐！”，吉姆，让我们高兴起来。
　　吉姆：你剪了你的头发？
　　德拉：我剪了头发并卖了，它被卖掉了，我跟你说它被卖掉了，没有了！现在是圣诞节前夜，对我好一点，吉姆，那都是为了你。
　　吉姆：哦，德拉，别误会我，我想我不会因为你剪了头发而对你的爱就减少了，我知道，那是为了我，看看这个包裹。
　　德拉：什么？
　　吉姆：你自己看吧！你会明白的。
　　德拉：啊，是梳子！它们就是几个月前陈列在橱窗里的那套。
　　吉姆：是的，那套漂亮的梳子，镶珠宝的，那颜色正好配你的发色。
　　德拉：但是，吉姆，那些都是很贵的，我知道，我一直渴望但却没有丝毫的奢望拥有它。现在，它们是我的了，谢谢你，吉姆。
　　吉姆：现在，你知道我为什么一开始就那么悲伤了吧。
　　德拉：吉姆，我给你买了一件又美丽又好的礼物，你能猜出来吗？
　　吉姆：对不起，我不想猜。
　　德拉：看，一条金表链，吉姆，它是不是很可爱？我找遍了整个城才找
　　的，你从现在起可得一天要看一百次时间了。把你的表给我，我
　　想看一下表链装在表上的样子。
　　吉姆：德拉，让我们把圣诞礼物收起来珍藏一段时间，它们太好了，但我
　　们现在用不着，我把表卖了。得到了钱才买了这梳子。现在让我们
　　吃晚饭吧！
