1
specifically when he crossed out
2
Thank you.
3
Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?
4
I didn't think it polite to listen, sir.
5
I'm sorry for that, for your sake.
6
I don't play accurately.
7
Anyone can play accurately.
8
But I play with wonderful expression.
9
As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte.
10
I keep science for life yes sir
11
and speaking of the science of life have you got the
12
cucumber sandwiches cut for lady Bracknell? yes sir ah by the way Lane I see from your book
13
that on thursday night when lord shawman
14
and mr worthing were dining with me eight bottles of champagne
15
are entered as having been consumed yes sir eight bottles
16
and a pint why is it that at a bachelor's establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne?
17
I ask merely for information.
18
I attribute it to the superior quality of the wine, sir.
19
I've often observed that in married households the champagne is rarely of a first-rate brand.
20
Good heavens!
21
Is married life so demoralizing as that?
22
I believe it is a very pleasant state, sir.
23
I've had very little experience of myself up to the present.
24
I've only been married once.
25
That was in consequence of a misunderstanding between myself and a young person.
26
I don't know that I'm much interested in your family life, Lane.
27
No sir it is not a very interesting subject.
28
I never think of it myself.
29
Very natural I'm sure.
30
That will do Lane.
31
Thank you.
32
Thank you sir.
33
Lane's views on marriage seem somewhat lax.
34
Really if the lower orders don't set us a good example what on earth is the use of them.
35
They seem as a class to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.
36
Mr. Ernest Worthing.
37
Are you my dear Ernest?
38
What brings you up to town?
39
Pleasure.
40
Pleasure.
41
What else should bring I don't mind any more.
42
Eating as usual I see, LG.
43
I believe it is customary in good society to take some slight refreshment at five o'clock.
44
Where have you been since last Thursday?
45
In the country.
46
What on earth do you do there?
47
When one is in town, one amuses oneself.
48
When one is in the country, one amuses other people.
49
It is excessively boring.
50
And who are the people you amuse?
51
Oh, neighbours.
52
Neighbours.
53
Got nice neighbours in your part of Shropshire?
54
Perfectly horrid.
55
Never speak to one of them.
56
How immensely you must amuse them.
57
By the way, Shropshire is your county, is it not?
58
Aye.
59
Shropshire.
60
Oh, yes, of course.
61
Hello?
62
Why all these cups?
63
Why cucumber sandwiches?
64
Why such a reckless extravagance in one so young?
65
Who's coming to tea?
66
Merely Aunt Augusta and Gwendolyn.
67
How perfectly delightful.
68
Yes, that is all very well,
69
but I'm afraid Aunt Augusta won't quite approve of your being here.
70
May I ask why?
71
My dear fellow, the way you flirt with Gwendolyn is perfectly disgraceful.
72
It is almost as bad as the way Gwendolyn flirts with you.
73
I am in love with Gwendolyn.
74
I have come up to town expressly to propose to her.
75
But I thought you'd come up for pleasure, like all that business how utterly unromantic you are.
76
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing it is very romantic to be in love
77
but there is nothing romantic at all about a definite proposal.
78
why one may be accepted one usually is I believe then
79
the excitement is all over the very essence of romance is uncertainty
80
if ever I get married I'll certainly try to forget the fact.
81
I have no doubt about
82
that dear Algie the divorce court was specially invented for people whose memories are
83
so curiously constituted there's no speculating on that subject.
84
Divorces are made in heaven.
85
But please don't touch the cucumber sandwiches.
86
They are ordered specially for Aunt Augusta.
87
You've been eating them all the time.
88
That is quite a different matter.
89
She is my aunt.
90
Have some bread and butter.
91
But the bread and butter is for Gwendolyn.
92
Gwendolyn is devoted to bread and butter.
93
And very good bread and butter it is.
94
Well my dear fellow you need not eat it as if you're going to eat it all.
95
You've got to behave as if you're married to her already.
96
You are not married to her already and I don't think you ever will be.
97
Why unless you say that?
98
Well, in the first place,
99
girls never marry the men they flirt with.
100
Girls don't think it right.
101
That is nonsense.
102
It isn't.
103
It's a great truth.
104
It accounts for the extraordinary number of bachelors that one sees all over the place.
105
In the second place, I don't give my consent.
106
Your consent?
107
My dear fellow Gwendolyn is my first cousin.
108
And before I allow you to marry her,
109
you will have to clear up the whole question of Cecily.
110
Cecily?
111
What on earth do you mean?
112
what do you mean by Cecily
113
I don't know anybody by the name of Cecily bring me
114
that cigarette case Mr. Worthing left in the smoking room the last time he dined here yes sir
115
do you mean to say you've had my cigarette case all
116
this time well I wish to goodness you'd let me know
117
I've been writing frantic letters to Scotland Yard about it I
118
was very nearly offering a large reward well I wish you
119
would offer one I happen to be more than usually hard
120
up well it's no good offering a large reward now to think it's found I think
121
that is rather meaningful I must say,
122
however, it makes no matter.
123
For now that I look at the inscription inside,
124
I find that the thing isn't yours after all.
125
Of course it's mine.
126
You've seen me with it a hundred times.
127
And you have no right whatsoever to read what's written inside
128
it is a very ungentlemanly thing to read a private cigarette case oh it's absurd to make a hard
129
and fast rule about what one should read
130
and what one shouldn't more than half of modern culture depends
131
on what one shouldn't read i'm quite aware of the fact
132
and i don't propose to discuss modern culture it isn't the
133
sort of thing one should talk of in private i simply want my cigarette case yes
134
but this isn't your cigarette case now this cigarette case is a present from someone of the name of cecily
135
and you said you didn't know anyone of that name?
136
Well, if you want to know,
137
Cecily happens to be my aunt.
138
Your aunt?
139
Yes.
140
Charming old lady she is too.
141
Lives at Tunbridge Wells.
142
Just give it back to me, don't you?
143
But why does she call herself Little Cecily if she is your aunt and lives at Tunbridge Wells?
144
From Little Cecily, with her fondest love.
145
My dear fellow, what on earth is there in that?
146
Some aunts are tall, some aunts are not tall.
147
That is a matter that surely an aunt may be allowed to decide for herself.
148
You seem to think that every aunt should be exactly like your aunt.
149
That is absurd.
150
Now, for heaven's sake, give me back my sickle.
151
Yes, but why does your aunt call you her uncle,
152
from little cecily with her fondest love to her dear uncle
153
jack there is no objection i admit to an aunt being a small aunt
154
but why an aunt no matter what her size may be
155
you should call her own nephew her uncle i can't quite
156
make out besides your name isn't jack at all it's earnest
157
it isn't earnest it's jack you've always told me it was
158
earnest well i've introduced you to everyone as earnest you answer to the name of earnest you look as
159
if your name was earnest you were the most earnest looking
160
person i ever saw in my life it's perfectly absurd you're saying that your name isn't Ernest.
161
It's on your cards.
162
Yes, here is one of them.
163
Mr. Ernest Worthing before the Albany.
164
I'll keep this as a proof that your name is Ernest
165
if ever you attempt to deny it to me or to Gwendolyn or to anyone else.
166
Well, my name is Ernest in town and Jack in the country
167
and the cigarette case was given to me in the country.
168
Yes, but that does not account for the fact that your small aunt Cecily,
169
who lives at Tunbridge Wells,
170
calls you her dear uncle.
171
Come, old boy, you'd much better have the thing out at once.
172
I may mention that I've always suspected you of being a confirmed and secret Bunburyist and I'm quite sure of it now.
173
Bunbrist?
174
What on earth do you mean by bunbrist?
175
I revealed you the meaning of that incomparable expression
176
as soon as you are kind enough to inform me why you are earnest in town and Jack in the country.
177
Well, produce my cigarette case first.
178
Here it is.
179
Now produce your explanation and pray make it improbable.
180
My dear fellow, there is nothing improbable about my explanation at all.
181
In fact, it is perfectly ordinary.
182
Old Mr. Thomas Cardew, who adopted me when I was a little boy,
183
made me in his will guardian to his granddaughter, Miss Cecily Cardew.
184
Cecily, who addresses me as her uncle
185
from motives of respect which you could not possibly appreciate
186
lives at my place in the country under the charge of her admirable governess,
187
Miss Prism Where is that place in the country, by the way?
188
That is nothing to you,
189
dear boy You're not going to be invited I may tell you candidly
190
that the place is not in Shropshire I suspected that,
191
my dear fellow I have Bunbury'd all over Shropshire on two separate occasions
192
But go on Why are you earnest in town and jack in the country?
193
My dear Audrey I don't know whether you will be able to understand my real motives.
194
You are hardly serious enough.
195
When one is placed in the position of guardian,
196
one has to adopt a very high moral tone on all subjects.
197
It is one's duty to do so.
198
And as a high moral tone can hardly be said to conduce very much to either one's health or one's happiness,
199
in order to get up to town I've always pretended to have a younger brother by the name of Ernest,
200
who lives in the Albany and gets into the most dreadful scrapes.
201
That, my dear young Aldi,
202
is the whole truth, pure and simple.
203
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
204
Modern life would be very tedious if it were either,
205
and modern literature a complete impossibility.
206
That wouldn't be at all a bad thing.
207
Literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fellow.
208
Don't try it.
209
You should leave that to people who haven't been at university.
210
They do it so well in the daily papers.
211
Now, what you really are is a Bunburyist.
212
I was quite right in saying you were a Bunburyist.
213
Well, you were one of the most advanced Bunburyists I know.
214
What on earth do you mean?
215
You have invented a very useful younger brother called Ernest in order
216
that you may be able to come up to town as often as you like.
217
I have invented an invaluable permanent invalid called Bunbury in order
218
that I may be able to go down to the country whenever I choose.
219
Bunbury is perfectly invaluable.
220
If it wasn't for Bunbury's extraordinary bad health,
221
for instance, I shouldn't be able to dine with you tonight at the Savoy,
222
for I've really been engaged to Aunt Augusta for more than a week.
223
I haven't asked you to dine with me anywhere tonight.
224
I know.
225
You are absurdly careless about sending out invitations.
226
It's very foolish of you.
227
Nothing annoys people so much as not receiving invitations.
228
Anyway, I can't dine at the Savoy.
229
I owe them about 700 pounds.
230
All by on earth don't you pay them.
231
You've got heaps of money.
232
Yes, but Ernest hasn't.
233
Ernest is the sort of chap
234
that never pays a bill then let us dine at willis's
235
you had much better dine with your aunt Augusta i haven't
236
the smallest intention of doing anything of the kind i dine there on monday
237
and once a week is quite enough to dine with one's own relations
238
and i know perfectly well whom she will place me next
239
to tonight she will place me next to mary farquhar who
240
always flirts with her own husband across the dinner table
241
that is not very pleasant indeed it is not even decent
242
and that sort of thing is enormously on the increase
243
and the amount of women in london who flirt with her own husbands is perfectly scandalous.
244
It looks so bad it's simply washing one's clean in and in public.
245
Besides, now that I know you to be a confirmed Bunburyist,
246
I naturally want to talk to you about Bunbury.
247
I want to tell you the rules.
248
You're not a Bunburyist at all.
249
If Gwendolyn accepts me, I'm going to kill my brother.
250
In fact, I think I'll kill him in any case.
251
Cecily is a little too much interested in him.
252
It is rather a bore,
253
so I'm going to get rid of Ernest,
254
and I strongly advise you do the same with Mr...
255
with your invalid friend who has the absurd name nothing will induce me to part with Bunbury
256
and if ever you get married
257
which seems to me extremely problematic you will be very glad
258
to know Bunbury a man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it
259
that is nonsense if I marry a charming girl like Gwendolyn
260
and she is the only girl I saw in my life
261
that I would marry I certainly won't want to know Bunbury then your wife will you don't seem to realize
262
that in married life three is company and two is none.
263
ah that must be aunt augusta only relatives or creditors ever ring in
264
that Wagnerian manner now if i get her out of the way for 10 minutes
265
so
266
that you can have an opportunity for proposing to Gwendolyn may
267
i dine with you at Willis's tonight oh i suppose so
268
if you want to yes
269
but you must be serious about it now i hate people who are not serious about meals it's
270
so shallow of them

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。
