THE GIFT OF THE MAGIE
第一幕
Della and her husband lived a poor life. They had two valuable things: one was Jim’s gold watch and the other was Della’s beautiful, brown hair. One day, they go out for a walk.
(Della approached to a special comb，fiddling with her attractive hair. )
Della: (turned back to Jim then asked) Jim, this comb is strange, isn’t it?
Jim: (Got close to Della) do you like it? We can buy it if you do.
Dells: No. I… I am just thinking about its strange shape. (开始玩赏梳子)
Jim: (Looking at and touching Della’s beautiful hair, he considered that …Maybe I can buy a beautiful comb for Della, as a Christmas gift! Her beautiful hair deserves it. Yes, she would surely like it!
Della: Jim? (Smile) let’s go and see what other interesting things can find. (于是挽着Jim 的手继续往前走)
Della passed by a jewelry shop, and saw a golden chain. She felt happy and went into the shop. There were two wealthy women in the shop; the boss was showing them jewelry.
路过一个珠宝店，Della从橱窗里看到一条金色的怀表链子。很高兴，便往店里走。Della看到两位贵妇人在柜台前挑选珠宝。店老板谄媚地向她们介绍珠宝和夸赞她们。
Boss: (奴颜婢膝，动作夸张)Wow! Dear Madam, look, you are so perfect when you wear this ring! It’s terrific!
Woman1: (美滋滋地对老板说) Really?
Boss: (连忙谄媚地说)Yes, yes!
Woman1: (假装淡定地侧过头问woman2)w2, how do you think of it?
Woman2: (不屑一顾地瞟了一眼) Em…The color is good… How do you think about my neck chain?
Boss:(赶紧冲上她们跟前，夸耀说) Wow! You have chosen one of the best neck chains. The chain is perfect for you.
Woman1:W1, what is you idea?
这时德拉和吉姆进来了
Woman1:（讽刺的口吻） wow, new guests.
Woman2: Oh! So shabby shirt does she wear! How do they dare to come here?
