百万英镑英文故事梗概
At the beginning of the novel, Henry floats too far out to sea in his small sailboat. Later, he was rescued from a ketch bound for London, where he eked out a living by working. When he arrived in London, Henry had no one with him. After using up his last dollar, he was left without food and clothing. While Henry loitered hungrily in Portland Square, a child threw a pear with a bite thrown into the gutter. Henry stared hungrily at the muddy treasure, drooling. Just as the reader was nervous that Henry was about to grab the “treasure“, “Please come in“ -- just five short words, like a bolt from the blue, released the reader’s nerves. Henry’s life changed.
In the main part of the novel, Henry goes through all kinds of voluntary credit for food, clothing and accommodation, then stays in a luxury hotel in Hanover Square for the rich and becomes one of the most famous people in the world’s largest metropolis. During a dinner party given by an American minister, he met and fell in love with Boxia, a lovely English girl. At the party, the two of them played as if nobody was watching and had a ball. Even when his American colleague and friend Lloyd described his ordeal, Henry did not listen. On his return to the hotel, Henry returned from heaven when Lloyd praised the comforts of furnishings and luxury. It was then that he became acutely aware that he was deeply in debt and broke in the world. Even love with a lovely girl may be stranded by poverty. Just as the reader laments his hopeless fate, Lloyd brings Henry back to life. As his million-pound owner, Henry had vouched for Lloyd’s mines. After selling the mine, Henry and Lloyd had a million dollars in their accounts and were among the real rich.
Towards the end of the novel, after meeting the two English gentlemen brothers, Henry proudly turns down the offer of a post from Gentleman B. Who knew that Boxia was his adopted daughter? Henry immediately expressed his regret and came straight to the point that he wanted to take back what he had said.
