阿里巴巴和四十大盗

scene 1

旁白：In a town in Persia there are two brothers, one named Cassim, the other Ali Baba. Cassim was married to a rich wife and lived in plenty, while Ali Baba had to maintain his wife and children by cutting wood in a neighboring forest and selling it in the town.And one day…

（轻快的bgm响起，阿里巴巴上场，假装砍柴。）

阿里巴巴：What’s that? Are they robbers? Oh, no! I’d better climb into a tree! （说着爬上旁边的树。强盗们上场，bgm停。）

强盗首领：（走到阿里巴巴藏身那棵树下面，对着石头说）Open, Sesame! （黑衣人把门打开，强盗走进去，门自动关上）

旁白：They stayed some time inside, and Ali Baba, fearing they might come out and catch him, was forced to sit patiently in the tree. （门打开，强盗出来。） 强盗首领：Shut, Sesame!

（黑衣人关门。强盗走远，阿里巴巴下来。） 阿里巴巴：（对着门）Open, Sesame! （门打开，阿里巴巴进去）

旁白：Ali Baba was greatly surprised to find it large and well lighted, hollowed by the hand of man in the form of a vault, which received the light from an opening in the ceiling. He saw rich bales of merchandise -- silk, stuff-brocades,

all piled together, and gold and silver in heaps, and money in leather purses. He went in and the door shut behind him. （装上几袋金币，离开。） 阿里巴巴：Shut, Sesame! （门关上） scene 2

（阿里巴巴回到家，场景变。） （阿里巴巴把金币摆到妻子面前）

阿里巴巴妻子：（生气）What did you do! How did you get them? 旁白：Ali Baba explain to his wife .

阿里巴巴妻子：(惊喜万分，把金币倒出来) Let me first measure it, I will go borrow a measure of someone, while you dig the hole. （去找隔壁嫂嫂借量具，然后拿回来。） （两人边量边把金币埋在土地下） （完毕，将量具还给嫂嫂。）

旁白： She then carried it back to her sister, without noticing that a piece of gold was sticking to it, which Cassim's wife perceived directly her back was turned.

（场景转到隔壁，戈西母回来）

戈西母妻子：Cassim, your brother is richer than you. He does not count his money, he measures it.戈西母：That’s impossible!（戈西母妻子展示量具底下的金币，戈西母大吃一惊。）

戈西母：I must go and ask. scene 3

（戈西母来找阿里巴巴）

戈西母：（气势汹汹）Ali Baba ！you pretend to be poor and yet you measure gold.（展示那枚金币）

旁白：By this Ali Baba perceived that through his wife's folly Cassim and his wife knew their secret, so he confessed all and offered Cassim a share.

戈西母：（色厉内荏）That I expect, but I must know where to find the treasure, otherwise I will discover all, and you will lose all.（阿里巴巴解释）

旁白：Ali Baba, more out of kindness than fear, told him of the cave, and the very words to use. Cassim left Ali Baba, meaning to be beforehand with him and get the treasure for himself. He rose early next morning, and set out with ten mules loaded with great chests. He soon found the place, and the door in the rock. （戈西母来到那个洞穴面前）

戈西母：（得意的笑着）Open, Sesame！（走进洞穴打包了几乎所有都财宝，出来时却忘记了开门的咒语）

戈西母：Open, Barley!（没动静） 戈西母：Open wheat!

戈西母：Open soybean!（气急败坏） （强盗回来了，紧急的bgm响起） 强盗首领：Open, Sesame! （门打开，发现了戈西母）
