Chapter 5 An Important Visitor I did not want Merrick to live by himself,
2
like a man in the lighthouse.
3
He read his books and talked to me, but I wanted him to talk to more people, and I wanted him to talk to women.
4
Merrick read about women in his books, but he did not often talk to women.
5
He met the nurses every day, but they did not talk to him very much.
6
For them, he was always a creature, not a man.
7
One day, one of my friends, a beautiful young woman, came to the hospital.
8
I told her about Merrick, and took her to his room.
9
She opened the door, and smiled at him.
10
"'Good morning, Mr. Merrick,' she said.
11
Then she shook his hand.
12
Merrick looked at her for a minute, with his mouth open.
13
Then he sat down on his bed, with his head in his hand, and cried.
14
He cried for nearly five minutes.
15
The tears ran down his face, between his fingers, and onto the floor.
16
My friend sat on the bed beside him, and put her hand on his arm.
17
She said nothing, but she smiled at him, and shook his hand again before she left.
18
"'Dr. Treves,' he said to me that night, "'that lady was wonderful.
19
My mother smiled at me once,
20
many years ago, but no women smile at me now.
21
But this lady smiled at me too, and she shook my hand.
22
A beautiful lady smiled at me and shook my hand.
23
My young lady friend came again the next week, and talked to Merrick for half an hour.
24
The week after that, she came again with a friend.
25
They gave him some books, and had a cup of tea with him.
26
It was wonderful for him.
27
For the first time in his life, he had some friends.
28
He was a very happy man.
29
He sat in his room and read his books and said no more about living on a lighthouse.
30
People began to read about Merrick in the newspapers, so he had a lot of visitors.
31
Everybody wanted to see him.
32
A lot of important ladies and gentlemen visited him.
33
They smiled at him, shook his hand, and gave him books.
34
Merrick liked talking to these people, and he began to forget about his ugly body.
35
His visitors never laughed at him.
36
He began to feel like a man, not a creature.
37
One wonderful day, a very important lady came to the hospital to visit him.
38
I met the lady and took her to his room.
39
Then I opened the door and smiled at him.
40
Good morning, Joseph, I said.
41
There is a new visitor to see you today.
42
A very famous lady.
43
Merrick stood up beside his table.
44
He did not smile, because his face could not smile, but his eyes looked happy.
45
That's good, he said.
46
Who is it?
47
I moved away from the door, and the visitor walked in.
48
"'Your Majesty, this is Joseph Merrick,' I said.
49
"'Joseph, this is Her Majesty,
50
Queen Alexandra, the Queen of England.' Queen Alexandra smiled at him.
51
"'How do you do, Mr Merrick?' she said.
52
"'I'm very pleased to meet you.' Then she shook his hand.
53
Merrick did not move.
54
For nearly half a minute he stood and looked at her with his mouth open.
55
Then he spoke in his strange, slow voice.
56
"'How?
57
How do you do, Your Majesty?' he said.
58
But I don't think the Queen understood him, because he tried to get down on his knees at the same time.
59
It was very difficult for him, because of his enormous legs.
60
No, please, Mr. Merrick.
61
Do get up," said the Queen.
62
I would like to talk to you.
63
Can we sit at your table?' "'Yes.
64
Yes, of course,' he said.
65
They sat at the table.
66
She took his left hand, the good hand, in hers.
67
She looked at the hand carefully, and then smiled at Merrick again.
68
"'I often read about you in the newspapers,' she said.
69
"'You are a very interesting man, Mr. Merrick.
70
"'You have a very difficult life, but people say you're happy. "'Is it true?
71
Are you happy now?' Oh, yes, your majesty.
72
Yes, said Merrick.
73
I'm a very happy man.
74
I have a home here now, and friends, and my books.
75
I'm happy every hour of the day.
76
What a wonderful story, she said.
77
I'm very pleased to hear it.
78
Now, tell me about your reading.
79
I see you have a lot of books here.
80
"'Oh, yes, Your Majesty.
81
I love my books,' said Merrick.
82
And for nearly half an hour, they sat and talked about books.
83
The Queen gave him a little book, and some red flowers, before she left.
84
After her visit, Merrick began to sing.
85
He could not sing easily, of course, because of his mouth, but all that day there was a strange,
86
happy noise in his room.
87
He looked at the flowers carefully and put them on his table.
88
He had many visits from the Queen, and at Christmas, she sent him a Christmas card.
89
Windsor Castle, 20 December, 1888 Dear Joseph,
90
here is a small Christmas present for you.
91
I think it looks like me, doesn't it?
92
I do like visiting you very much, and I am going to come to the hospital again in the new year.
93
Happy Christmas, your friend, Alexandra." The present was a picture of Queen Alexandra with her name on it.
94
Merrick cried over it and put it carefully by the bed in his room.
95
Then he sat down and wrote a letter to the Queen.
96
It was the first letter of his life.
97
The London Hospital, 23rd December, 1888.
98
My dear Queen, thank you very,
99
very much for your wonderful card and the beautiful picture.
100
It is the best thing in my room, the very best, the most beautiful thing I have.
101
"'This is the first Christmas in my life, and my first Christmas present.
102
"'Perhaps I had a Christmas with my mother once, but I do not remember it.
103
"'I have my mother's picture, too, and she is beautiful, like you.
104
But now I know many famous ladies and kind people like Dr. Treves, and I am a very happy man.
105
I am happy too, because I am going to see you in the new year.
106
Happy Christmas to you, my dear friend.
107
With all my love, Joseph Merrick.
108
Thank you.
109
Thank you.

本片段的口语练习目标
通过观看YouTube学英语，本片段适合练习情感表达的流畅性与日常交际场景的应对能力。对话中梅里克与访客的互动包含惊讶、感动、喜悦等复杂情绪，学习者可通过模仿体会如何用语气和节奏传递情感，同时掌握与陌生人初次交流的基本礼仪，提升实际沟通中的共情能力。
实用短语库
- “with his head in his hand”（双手抱头）：生动描述肢体动作，丰富表达细节。
- “the tears ran down his face”（泪水顺着脸颊流下）：自然抒发情绪，避免生硬表达。
- “feel like a man, not a creature”（觉得自己是人，而非怪物）：对比句式强化情感，提升语言感染力。
- “a very important lady”（一位非常重要的女士）：简洁描述人物身份，适用于日常介绍场景。
攻克发音与节奏难点
本视频是提高英语发音的优质素材，尤其适合练习弱读与连读。例如“talked to him”中“to”弱读为/tə/，“shook his hand”中“his”与“hand”连读为/hɪzænd/，这些细节直接影响口语的自然度。建议使用shadow speak方法，逐句跟读并录音对比，重点关注情绪波动时的语速变化（如梅里克哭泣时的缓慢语气）。此外，对话中“Your Majesty”“Her Majesty”等尊称的重音位置需准确把握，避免发音生硬。通过shadowing site的反复练习，可有效改善语音语调的流畅性。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
