Scrooge. Let me leave it alone then. What good has Christmas ever done you? 斯克鲁奇：那就让我一个人呆着吧。圣诞节对你有什么好处？

Nephew. Christmas is a kind time, a time to think of those who need help. It is a time when people smile and say cheery words. 侄子：圣诞节是个美好的时刻，让人们想起那些需要帮助的人。一到圣诞节，人们就微笑着互敬愉快的话语。

I believe that Christmas has done me good and will do me good, and I say, "God bless it!" 我相信圣诞节对我有好处，也会给我带来好处，我要说：“上帝保佑它！”

Scrooge. Bah! Humbug¹! 斯克鲁奇：呸！都是骗人的！

Nephew. It is a time when you might help Bob Cratchit. He needs help. Tiny Tim, his little lame² son, needs help. 侄子：你在圣诞节可以帮助鲍勃·克拉特基特。他需要帮助，他那瘸脚的儿子小提姆需要帮助。

Scrooge. Why did you come here? Let Bob Cratchit help himself! I am rich, but who made me rich? Did Christmas? 斯克鲁奇：你干嘛来这里？让鲍勃·克拉特基特自己救自己吧！我很富有，但是谁让我富有的呢？是圣诞节吗？

Nephew. Don't be angry, uncle! Come! Have dinner with us tomorrow. You must be lonely. 侄子：别生气，叔叔！来吧！明天和我们一起吃晚饭，你一定很孤单。

Scrooge. I never give dinners to anyone, and I never take them with anyone. A foolish custom! 斯克鲁奇：我从不给任何人提供晚餐，也从和任何人一起吃。这真是愚蠢的习俗！

If you have nothing better to say, good night! 如果你没什么好说的，那就晚安吧！

The door opens, and the Christmas Fairy, young and beautiful, comes in. A bright star shines on her forehead, and she holds a wand of holly⁴.] 门开了，年轻漂亮的圣诞仙女走进屋。一颗明亮的星星在她的额头上闪亮，她手里拿着一根冬青枝。]
