1
Little Fox!
2
He hurried toward the stairs,
3
which were hidden in darkness.
4
No one else lived in the run-down building,
5
so there was no reason for Scrooge to expect to see anything there.
6
However, tonight, he saw something moving on the stairs.
7
Horses were pulling a hearse and galloping up the steps ahead of him.
8
Grr.
9
Scrooge groaned and closed his eyes for a moment.
10
I must have eaten some bad meat at dinner, he thought.
11
The inn will hear my complaints tomorrow, Christmas or not!
12
He stomped up the stairs and into his apartment.
13
Once again he felt oddly worried.
14
He checked each room to be sure he was alone.
15
To his relief, there was nobody behind the sitting room sofa or under the bed.
16
All the closets looked just as they should.
17
Finally satisfied, he locked the door behind him.
18
He changed into his slippers and bathrobe and sat down near the fire with a cup of tea.
19
Dong, dong.
20
He nearly dropped the cup when a bell rang out from behind him.
21
Spinning around, he saw that the bell hanging in the corner was swinging back and forth.
22
Back when the building had been one large house,
23
the bell had been used to summon servants.
24
But since Scrooge had no use for it,
25
he had never heard it ring before.
26
Suddenly more bells began to ring.
27
Scrooge felt a terrible dread.
28
First the door knocker, then the stairs, and now this?
29
What on earth is going on?
30
He thought.
31
All at once, the bells stopped.
32
Then a loud clanking noise rose from somewhere below.
33
It sounded as if someone was dragging heavy chains across the floor and up the stairs.
34
What's that awful sound?
35
Scrooge whispered.
36
The clanking sound came closer.
37
Soon it was right outside his door.
38
Then, a dark figure slipped into the room.
39
As the fire crackled and flamed higher,
40
Scrooge could finally see his frightening visitor.
41
I know you!
42
Scrooge cried, dropping to the floor in shock.
43
You're Jacob Marley!
44
Scrooge could hardly believe his eyes.
45
His former partner, Jacob Marley,
46
stood there looking like a ghost.
47
Metal chains wrapped all around his transparent body.
48
What do you want from me, Marley?
49
Scrooge cried.
50
I want many things from you.
51
Marley's voice sounded exactly the same.
52
In life I was your partner, Jacob Marley.
53
Yes?
54
Scrooge felt his legs wobble. Can you sit down?
55
I can.
56
Let's both do it then.
57
The two of them sat near the fire.
58
Scrooge continued to stare at the ghost in disbelief.
59
Marley cocked his head.
60
You don't believe in ghosts, Ebenezer, do you?
61
Not normally, Scrooge said.
62
But tonight, so many strange things.
63
Why do you doubt your senses?
64
Marley demanded.
65
Because little things can affect your senses, Scrooge said.
66
For example, you could be a hallucination caused by bad food I've eaten,
67
like poorly cooked meat.
68
Whatever you are, you do remind me more of gravy than a grave.
69
Scrooge rarely made jokes, for he had little sense of humor.
70
But he was trying to keep down his terror in any way he could.
71
The ghost of Jacob Marley was disturbing him to his bones.
72
The figure moaned and shook his chains loudly, clearly not amused.
73
Scrooge held on tightly to his chair to prevent himself from fainting.
74
Dreadful creature!
75
Why are you here?
76
Do you believe in me or not?
77
Marley demanded.
78
Scrooge closed his eyes.
79
I do!
80
You are here, so I must believe in you.
81
But why have you come to me?
82
I wear these heavy chains which I made myself,
83
link by link and yard by yard.
84
They are the result of the poor choices I made while alive.
85
Marley glared at Scrooge with his awful eyes.
86
You have made the same choices, Ebenezer.
87
You continue to make them.
88
Jacob!
89
Scrooge said.
90
This is terrifying!
91
Say something that will comfort me!
92
I have no comfort to give.
93
Marley said.
94
I am doomed to drag these chains with me as a ghost.
95
It's my punishment for a lifetime of selfishness, pettiness, and greed.
96
But you were always so good at business!
97
Scrooge said.
98
Business?
99
Ha!
100
Marley scoffed.
101
Humans should have been my business.
102
Charity, mercy and kindness should have been my business.
103
But listen to me closely, Ebeneezer.
104
My time with you is short.
105
And I'm here to warn you that you have only one chance of escaping the same fate.
106
Tonight, you will be haunted by three ghosts.
107
Scrooge gulped.
108
More ghosts?
109
I think I'd rather just go to bed.
110
Without their visits, you are doomed to follow the same path that I walk.
111
These ghosts will show you the way to save yourself.
112
Expect the first one very soon.
113
Goodbye, Ebenezer, and good luck.
114
Marley backed away, clanking his chains and moaning.
115
Scrooge cowered as the ghost floated out through the window.
116
After Marley was gone, Scrooge hurried to the window.
117
Outside, the air was filled with phantoms floating here and there,
118
moaning as they went.
119
Every one of them wore chains like Marley's ghost.
120
Scrooge went pale as he recognized some of his old business acquaintances.
121
Turning away from the dreadful sight,
122
he went to the door to make sure it was locked.
123
Then, holding his head in his hands,
124
he went into his bedroom.
125
He climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly.
126
Scrooge woke up some time later.
127
It was very dark, and the church bell was ringing.
128
Scrooge counted the bells' chimes,
129
expecting them to stop, as they always did.
130
But they continued on and on.
131
How strange, Scrooge thought. Am I dreaming?
132
At last, the chimes stopped,
133
and a loud boom shook the walls.
134
At the same moment, an eerie light filled the room.
135
Scrooge's eyes opened wide at the sight of a figure standing beside his bed.
136
The figure was a strange combination of a young child and an old man.
137
Its hair was long and white,
138
but its face was smooth without the slightest wrinkle.
139
It wore a white tunic and held a fresh green holly branch in one hand.
140
I suppose you're one of the ghosts that Marley told me about?
141
Scrooge's voice shook as he spoke.
142
I am.
143
The ghost's voice was soft and gentle.
144
Do you have a name?
145
Scrooge asked.
146
I am the ghost of Christmas past.
147
The spirit clasped Scrooge gently by the arm.
148
Arise and walk with me.

Советы по практике

Для эффективного изучения практики разговорного английского с помощью данного видео, попробуйте метод shadowspeak. Сначала внимательно прослушайте диалог. Обратите внимание на интонацию и произношение персонажей, особенно в моментах напряжения. Затем, повторяйте за актёрами, имитируя их скорость и эмоциональный окрас. Такой подход поможет вам освоить shadowing английский на уровне, близком к носителям языка.

Совет: если скорость в видео кажется слишком быстрой, не стесняйтесь замедлить воспроизведение. Это позволит вам сосредоточиться на каждое слово и структуру предложений, что значительно улучшит вашу технику shadow speech.

Следуйте этим рекомендациям, и вы быстро заметите, как ваша уверенность в разговорном английском возрастает, а навыки общения совершенствуются!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
