篇1：百万英镑经典英语段落
They saw many honest faces go by that were not intelligent enough; many that were intelligent, but not honest enough; many that were both, but the possessors were not poor enough, or, if poor enough, were not strangers.
There was always a defect, until I came along; but they agreed that I filled the bill all around; so they elected me unanimously, and there I was now waiting to know why I was called in. They began to ask me questions about myself, and pretty soon they had my story. Finally they told me I would answer their purpose. I said I was sincerely glad, and asked what it was. Then one of them handed me an envelope, and said I would find the explanation inside. I was going to open it, but he said no; take it to my lodgings, and look it over carefully, and not be hasty or rash.
I was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn’t; so I took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
篇2：百万英镑经典英语段落
My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to put it in on a little sail-boat on the bay.
One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket.
This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.
篇3：百万英镑经典英语段落
About the tenth day of my fame I went to fulfil my duty to my flag by paying my respects to the American minister.
He received me with the enthusiasm proper in my case, upbraided me for being so tardy in my duty, and said that there was only one way to get his forgiveness, and that was to take the seat at his dinner-party that night made vacant by the illness of one of his guests. I said I would, and we got to talking. It turned out that he and my father had been schoolmates in boyhood, Yale students together later, and always warm friends up to my father’s death.
So then he required me to put in at his house all the odd time I might have to spare, and I was very willing, of course.
篇4：百万英镑经典英语段落
“Right, it was the What Cheer; went there at two in the morning, and had a chop and coffee after a hard six-hours grind over those Extension papers, and I tried to persuade you to come to London with me, and offered to get leave of absence for you and pay all your expenses, and give you something over if I succeeded in making the sale; and you would not listen to me, said I wouldn’t succeed, and you couldn’t afford to lose the run of business and be no end of time getting the hang of things again when you got back home.
And yet here you are.
How odd it all is! How did you happen to come, and whatever did give you thisincredible start?”
篇5：百万英镑经典英语段落
We had a lovely time; certainly two of us had, Miss Langham and I.
I was so bewitched with her that I couldn’t count my hands if they went above a double sequence; and when I struck home I never discovered it, and started up the outside row again, and would have lost the game every time, only the girl did the same, she being in just my condition, you see; and consequently neither of us ever got out, or cared to wonder why we didn’t; we only just knew we were happy, and didn’t wish to know anything else, and didn’t want to be interrupted. And I told her – I did, indeed – told her I loved her; and she – well, she blushed till her hair turned red, but she liked it; she said she did. Oh, there was never such an evening! Every time I pegged I put on a postscript; every time she pegged she acknowledged receipt of it, counting the hands the same.
Why, I couldn’t even say “Two for his heels” without adding, “My, how sweet you do look!” and she would say, “Fifteen two, fifteen four, fifteen six, and a pair are eight, and eight are sixteen – do you think so?” – peeping out aslant from under her lashes, you know, so sweet and cunning. Oh, it was just too-too!
篇6：百万英镑经典英语段落
You know, I even kept my old suit of rags, and every now and then appeared in them, so as to have the old pleasure of buying trifles, and being insulted, and then shooting the scoffer dead with the million-pound bill.
But I couldn’t keep that up.
The illustrated papers made the outfit so familiar that when I went out in it I was at once recognized and followed by a crowd, and if I attempted a purchase the man would offer me his whole shop on credit before I could pull my note on him.
篇7：百万英镑经典英语段落
He smiled and took it. It was the kind of ubiquitous smile, with wrinkles in the smile and wrinkles in the smile, circle after circle, like throwing a brick into a pool; but, just glanced at it.
At the first glance at the banknote, his smile solidified, and his face changed drastically, just like the undulating, worm-crawling solidified lava you see on the hills on the foothills of Mount Vesuvius. I have never seen anyone whose smiling face freezes into such an eternal state.
This guy stood there, holding the banknotes, taking a steady look at it in this posture.
篇8：百万英镑
这本书里讲的是一个叫亨利的小伙子从美国驾船漂流到伦敦，他身上没钱，本以为到伦敦之后要过穷人的生活，但这时候有两个富翁因为打赌给了他一百万英镑。刚开始，他穿着破烂的去买衣服去吃饭，别人看他穿着不好就不怎么好好对他，可他拿出百万英镑的支票的时候，别人对他又十分好，免费给他做衣服，让他免费吃住，渐渐地，他成了上流社会的人，但是当有人跟他开玩笑把他的支票藏起来的时候，那些以前巴结他的人却又开始向他要起账来。经过一个月之后，亨利最终将百万英镑还给了那两个富翁。
故事中，别人因为觉得亨利很有钱就对他好，没钱的时候就对他不好，认为他是个骗子，看来那些人并不是喜欢亨利，而是喜欢亨利的钱，觉得亨利很有钱都要巴结他。那些人对亨利很不真诚，并不是亨利真正的朋友。我们平时在生活中要真诚的对待别人，不要觉得别人条件好就去巴结别人，也不要因为条件差去嫌弃别人。钱也不是万能的，就像故事结尾一样，虽然亨利将百万英镑还给了那两个富翁，可他收获了更多。
篇9：百万英镑
美国作家马克·吐温的作品以幽默和讽刺的创作风格为主。他的许多短篇小说都有一个共同的特点：对社会上种.种不平等的现象，进行了批判。尤其是他笔下的《百万英镑》是极具讽刺性的一个故事，它把我深深地吸引住了。
这篇故事讲了主人公从连阴沟里的梨都要捡来吃到吃、穿、住、行都很讲究；从身无分文到腰缠万贯；从没有人注意到的小老鼠到全国闻名的明星……这一切一切的巨变，居然自己的劳动所得，而全靠有钱人的一个赌局，一个莫名其妙的巧合。仅仅因为他的长相看起来很老实、聪明，而且又是一个乡下的穷光蛋，被两位伦敦大阔佬看中，当成了他们的打赌工具。赌局是给他一张百万英镑的巨额钞票，如果他能在一个月里面不把这张钞票用掉，并能过得很好，就给他一份职务。故事里的主人公就凭这张巨款和人们的势利，从只有这一张巨额钞票（还是别人借他的）到有自己的一百万元银行存折。这张巨额钞票带给他体面的生活、美丽的姑娘和周围人的尊重，这是他多年辛勤劳动都无法得到的。
这篇故事，让我深深的体会到了那个社会中，人们的势利与不公平，仅仅就因为这一张巨额钞票，就把一个穷光蛋当成百万富翁那样对待，而假如主人公换一套破旧的衣服再去街上走，买东西，就很容易受到侮辱。我可不能像那些人一样只认得钱。

篇10：《百万英镑》英语读后感
Based on Mark Twains novel, The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost.
Interestingly, The Millionaire also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were welcomed as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that hes an outsider either makes him more appealing or the complete opposite. The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society.
The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith, as Pecks sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.
