We're having a debate on advertising Thursday evening, and I have to take part.
我们星期四晚上要进行广告辩论，我必须参加。
That's interesting. I should like to hear what people think about advertising.
这很有趣。我想听听人们对广告的看法。
What's there to say? We must have advertising, mustn't we?
我们一定要做广告，是吗?
Why?
为什么？
Well,we wouldn't know what there was to buy if we didn't have advertisements.
如果没有广告，我们就不知道要买什么。
Yes,that's true, up to a point. Advertisements provide information that we need. If someone has produced a new article, naturally the seller wants to tell us about it.
然而，在某种程度上，这是事实。广告提供我们需要的信息。如果有人生产了一个新物品，卖家自然会告诉我们。
Yes,and the advertisements tell us which product is the best.
是的，广告告诉我们哪个产品是最好的。
Do they? I don't think so. Every manufacturer says that his product is the best,or at least tries to give the impression. Only one can be the best, so the others are misleading, aren't they?
他们吗？我不这么想。每个制造商都说他的产品是最好的，或者至少是想给人留下好印象。只有一个是最好的，所以其他的都是误导，不是吗？
Well,in a way, I suppose, but we don't have to believe them, do we?
嗯，在某种程度上，我想，但我们不一定要相信他们，不是吗?

如果没有人相信这些广告，我不认为聪明的商人会在广告上花费数百万美元，你认为呢？
Perhaps not, but after all, it's their money that they're spending.
也许不是，但毕竟，他们花的是自己的钱。
Is it? I think not. The cost of advertising is added to the price of the article.
是吗？我认为不是。广告费用是加在商品价格上的。
You and I and all the other people who buy the article pay for the advertising.
你和我以及所有其他购买这个物品的人都要为广告付费。
Well,I suppose we get something for our money-some information.
好吧，我想我们的钱可以得到——一些信息。
Yes, but don't forget it's often misleading information, and sometimes harmful.
是的，但是不要忘记它经常是误导信息，有时是有害的。
Harmful?
有害的？
What about advertisements designed to persuade young people to smoke cigarettes? Wouldn't you say they're harmful?
说服年轻人吸烟而设计的广告怎么样？它们不是有害的吗？
You've given me a lot to think about. I'm quite looking forward to the debate now!
你告诉我的这些信息我需要好好消化一下。我现在不期待辩论了！

是的。我们起床很早。我们6点叫醒你，8点吃早餐;正午吃午餐;下午三点半有茶，六点钟吃晚餐。
Oh,that's very different from what I've been used to. You'd better tell me therest of the rules here.
哦，这和我以前的习惯很不一样。你最好告诉我这里的其他规则。
Yes.Well, you can see the no smoking sign. We don't allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. However, if you do need to smoke, there are special lounges.

原文
Chapter 9: The house on the lake
When the lights cameo n, Raoul ran.
He ran downstairs and along passages, through the Opera House to the back of the stage.
In the passage outside Christine's dressing room, a hand took his arm.
"What's the matter, my young friend? Where are you running to, so quickly?"
Raoul turned and saw the long face of the Persian under his black hat.
"Christine",Raoul said quickly, "Erik's got her. Where is she? Help me! How do I get to his house on the lake?"
"Come with me," said the Persian.
They went quickly into Christine's dressing room.
The Persian closed the door and went to the big mirror on one wall.
"There's only one door into this room." Raoul began.
"Wait,"the Persian said, he put his hands on the big mirror, first here, then there.
For a minute,nothing happened.
Then the mirror began to move and turn, and a big dark hole opened in it.
Raoul stared.
"Quick! Come with me, but be careful," the Persian said. "I know Erik. I understand his secrets. Put your right hand up near your head, like this, and keep it there all the time."
"But why?"Raoul asked.
"Remember Joseph Buquet, and the rope around his neck? Erik is a clever man with ropes in the dark."
They went down,down, down under the Opera House.
They went through secret doors in the floors, then along passages and down dark stairs.
The Persian listened carefully all the time for strange noises.
"When do we get to the lake? " Raoul whispered.
"We're not going by the lake. Erik watches it all the time. No, we go around the lake and get into Erik's house from the back. I know some secret doors."
Soon. They were there.
In the dark. The Persian felt the wall carefully with his hands.
"Ah, here it is," He whispered.
The wall moved under his hands and a small door opened.
Very quietly, they went through, and then the door closed behind them.
They could not get out.
Inside the room it was very dark.
They waited and listened.
The Persian put his hands on the wall.
"Or no,"he whispered. "It was the wrong door! This is Erik's torture room- the room of mirrors! We are dead men, Vicomte de Chagny, dead men!"
At first, Raoul did not understand.
But he soon learned.The lights came on, and they heard a man's laugh.
Eric knew they were there.
The room was all mirrors - walls, floor, ceiling.
There were pictures in the mirrors of trees and flowers and rivers.
The pictures moved and danced in front of their eyes.
And the room was hot.It got hotter and hotter and hotter.
Raoul was thirsty,hot and thirsty, and the rivers in the pictures danced and laughed at him.
He closed his eyes,but the rivers still danced.
Water, he needed water, but the mirrors laughed at him.
Soon, he could not move or speak, or open his eyes.
He was not thirsty now, just tired, so tired.
"Oh, Christine,I'm sorry" He thought. "I wanted to help you, and now I'm dying..."
Through a mirror in the wall, Christine watched her lover in the torture room.
Behind her Erik stood,with his hands on her arms.
"He's dying, Christine,dying. Watch him carefully. No, don't close your eyes. Watch him! "
Christine could not speak.
She wanted to scream,but no words came.
Then she found her voice again.
"How can you do this, Erik? Why don't you kill me?"
"Because I love you, Christine. Marry me, be my wife and love me. Then Raoul and the Persian can live"
Slowly, Christine turned. She looked into Erik's terrible ugly face, and spoke again. Very quietly.
"Yes, Erik.From this minute. I am your wife."
She put her arms around Erik's neck and kissed him - kissed him slowly and lovingly on his ugly mouth.
Then she took her arms away and said slowly, "Poor, unhappy Erik."
Erik stared at her.
"You kissed me." He whispered. "I didn't ask you but you kissed me- freely? Oh Christine, my Angel. That was my first kiss from a woman. Even my mother never kissed me! She gave me my first mask when I was two years old. She turned her face away from me every time I came near her.
Erik put his ugly face in his hands and cried.
Then he went down on the floor at Christine's feet.
"You are free,Christine free! Go away and marry your Raoul and be happy. But remember Erik,sometimes. Go now, quickly. Take Raoul and the Persian and go!"

第九章:湖上的房子
灯一亮，拉乌尔就跑起来了。
他跑下楼，沿着走廊，穿过歌剧院，来到舞台后面。
在克里斯汀化妆室外面的通道里，一只手抓住了他的胳膊。
“怎么了，我年轻的朋友?”你跑得这么快，要去哪儿?”
拉乌尔转过身来，看到了黑帽子下波斯人的长脸。
“克里斯汀，”拉乌尔赶紧说，“埃里克抓住她了。她在哪里?帮帮我!我怎么去他在湖边的家?”
“跟我来。”波斯人说。
他们迅速走进克里斯汀的化妆室。
波斯人关上门，走到一面墙上的大镜子前。
“这个房间只有一扇门。”拉乌尔的开始。
“等等，”波斯人说，他把手放在大镜子上，先是这里，然后是那里。
有那么一分钟，什么也没发生。
然后镜子开始移动和转动，一个大黑洞在里面打开了。
拉乌尔盯着。
“快!跟我来，但要小心。”波斯人说。“我了解埃里克。我了解他的秘密。把你的右手举到靠近头的地方，像这样，一直保持在那里。”
“但为什么?”拉乌尔问道。
“还记得约瑟夫·比凯和他脖子上的绳子吗?”埃里克是个聪明人，在黑暗中会用绳子。”
他们往下，往下，往下，往下到歌剧院下面。
他们穿过楼层的暗门，然后沿着走廊走下黑暗的楼梯。
波斯人一直仔细地听着奇怪的声音。
“我们什么时候到湖边?”拉乌尔低声说。
“我们不从湖边走。埃里克一直在看。不，我们绕着湖从后面进入埃里克的房子。我知道一些秘密的门。”
很快。他们就在那里。
在黑暗中。波斯人用手仔细地摸着墙。
“啊，在这儿。”他低声说。
墙在他的手下移动，一扇小门打开了。
他们非常安静地走了进去，然后门在他们身后关上了。
他们出不去了。
房间里很黑。
他们等着，听着。
波斯人把手放在墙上。
“或者没有，”他低声说。“走错门了!”这是艾瑞克的刑讯室，满是镜子的房间!我们是死人，沙尼子爵，死人!”
起初，拉乌尔不明白。
但他很快就学会了。灯光亮了，他们听到了一个男人的笑声。
埃里克知道他们在那里。
房间里全是镜子——墙壁、地板、天花板。
镜子里有树、花和河流的图画。
这些图画在他们眼前舞动着。
房间里很热。天气越来越热，越来越热。
拉乌尔渴了，又热又渴，画中的河流在嘲笑他跳舞。
他闭上眼睛，但河水仍在跳舞。
水，他需要水，但镜子嘲笑他。
很快，他不能动弹，不能说话，也不能睁开眼睛。
他现在不渴了，只是累了，太累了。
“哦，克里斯汀，对不起。”他想。“我想帮你，可现在我快死了……”
透过墙上的一面镜子，克里斯汀看着她在刑讯室里的情人。
埃里克站在她身后，双手放在她的胳膊上。
“他快死了，克里斯汀，快死了。仔细观察他。不，不要闭上眼睛。看好他!”
克里斯汀说不出话来。
她想尖叫，但说不出话来。
然后她又能说话了。
“你怎么能这么做，埃里克?你为什么不杀了我?”
“因为我爱你，克里斯汀。嫁给我，做我的妻子，爱我。这样拉乌尔和波斯人就能活下去了。”
克里斯汀慢慢地转过身来。她看着埃里克可怕丑陋的脸，又说话了。非常小声的说。
“是的,埃里克。从现在开始。我是你的妻子。”
她伸出双臂搂住埃里克的脖子，吻了他——慢慢地、充满爱意地吻着他那丑陋的嘴巴。
然后她把胳膊挪开，慢慢地说:“可怜的、不幸的埃里克。”
埃里克盯着她。
“你吻了我。”他小声说。“我没有问你，但是你吻了我——自由地?哦，克里斯汀，我的天使。那是我第一次被女人吻。连我妈都没亲过我!我两岁的时候，她给了我第一个面具。每次我走近她，她都把脸转过去不理睬我。”
埃里克把他丑陋的脸捂在手里哭了起来。
然后他倒在克里斯汀脚边的地板上。
“你自由了，克丽斯廷自由了! 去嫁给你的拉乌尔，过得幸福。但记住埃里克，有时候。快去吧。带上拉乌尔和波斯人走吧!” -

Chapter 8: Where is Christine Daae?
On Saturday morning,Comte Phillipe looked across the breakfast table at his brother.
"Don't do it,Raoul, please. All this talk about ghosts and phantoms. I think the girl is mad."
"She's not mad,and I'm going to marry her." Raoul said.
"She's only a little opera singer" Phillipe said unhappily. "And she's very young. Are you still going to love her in ten or twenty years time?
Raoul drank his coffee and did not answer.
There were two more unhappy faces in the Opera House, too.
The directors now understood about O.G.
They didn't want anymore accidents.
"It's a lot of money," Mr. Firmin said unhappily.
He thought for a minute.
"What about some flowers in Box 5? Madam Giry says that O.G likes flowers."
"O.G. can bring his own flowers!" shouted Mr. Armand.
The evening began well.
The chandelier was now back in place, with new ropes.
All Paris was in the Opera House.
Everybody wanted to hear Christine Daae's voice again.
People also knew about the love story between Christine Daae and the Vicomte de Chagny.
There are no love secrets in Paris!
People watched the Comte and the Vicomte Box 14 with interest.
Young men from families like de Chagny do not marry opera singers.
When Christine came onto the stage, her face was white, and she looked afraid.
But she sang like an angel.
Ah, what a voice!All Paris was in love with Christine Daae.
She began to sing the famous love song.
Suddenly, every light in the Opera House went out.
For a second, nobody moved or spoke.
Then a woman screamed, and all the lights came on again.
But Christine Daae was no longer on the stage!
She was not behind the stage. She was not under the stage.
Nobody could find her.
The Opera House went mad.
Everybody around here and there, shouted and called.
In the director's office, people ran in and out.
The police came and asked questions.
But nobody could answer the questions.
Mr. Armand got angry and shouted, and Mr. Firmin told him to be quiet.
Then, Madame Giry arrived in the office with her daughter, Meg.
"Go away,woman! " Mr. Armand shouted.
"Monsieur,there are three people missing now!" Madame Giry said. "Meg, tell the directors your story."
This was Meg story.
"When the lights went out, we were just behind the stage. We heard a scream - I think it was Christine Daae's voice. Then the lights came back on, but Christine wasn't there! We were very afraid, and we began to run back to our dressing room. There were people running everywhere. Then we saw the Vicomte de Chagny. His face was red, and he was very angry. "Where's Christine? Where's Christine?"He shouted. Suddenly, the Persian came up behind him and took his arm. He said something to the Vicomte and they went into Christine Daae's dressing room.…."
"Yes? And then?" Mr. Firmin said quickly. "What happened next?"
"Nobody knows!" Meg's face was white. "We looked into Christine Daae's dressing room, but ... but that...was nobody there!"

第八章:克丽斯廷·达埃在哪里?
星期六早晨，菲利普伯爵隔着早餐桌望着他的哥哥。
“别这样，拉乌尔，求你了。一直在说鬼魂和幽灵。我想这女孩疯了。”
“她没疯，我要娶她。”拉乌尔说。
“她只是个小歌剧演员。”菲利普不高兴地说。“她还很年轻。十年二十年后你还会爱她吗?
拉乌尔喝了咖啡，没有回答。
歌剧院里还有两张不高兴的脸。
董事们现在理解了O.G.
他们不想再发生意外。
“这是一大笔钱，”菲尔曼先生不高兴地说。
他想了一会儿。
“在5号盒子里放些花怎么样?”吉丽夫人说O.G.喜欢花。”
“O.G.可以带他自己的花来!”阿尔芒先生喊道。
这个晚上开始得很顺利。
枝形吊灯现在用新绳子放回了原位。
整个巴黎都聚集在歌剧院。
每个人都想再听到克丽斯廷·达埃的声音。
人们也知道克里斯汀·达埃和沙尼子爵之间的爱情故事。
巴黎没有爱情的秘密!
人们饶有兴趣地看着伯爵和子爵包厢。
像德·沙尼这样家庭出身的年轻人不会和歌剧演唱家结婚。
当克里斯汀走上舞台时，她脸色苍白，看上去很害怕。
但她唱得像个天使。
啊，多么美妙的声音!整个巴黎都爱上了克丽斯廷·达埃。
她开始唱那首著名的情歌。
突然，歌剧院里所有的灯都熄灭了。
一时间，没有人动，也没有人说话。
然后一个女人尖叫起来，所有的灯又亮了。
但是克丽斯廷·达埃已经不在舞台上了!
她不在舞台后面。她不在舞台下面。
没人能找到她。
歌剧院都疯了。
周围的每个人都喊着。
在主任办公室里，人们进进出出。
警察来问了些问题。
但是没有人能回答这些问题。
阿尔芒先生生气了，大喊大叫，菲尔曼先生叫他安静。
接着，吉丽夫人带着她的女儿麦格来到了办公室。
“走开，女人!”阿尔芒先生喊道。
“先生，现在有三个人失踪了!”吉丽夫人说。“梅格，把你的故事告诉主管们。”
这就是梅格的故事。
“当灯光熄灭时，我们就在舞台后面。我们听到一声尖叫——我想那是克丽斯廷·达埃的声音。然后灯又亮了，但是克丽丝汀不在那儿!我们非常害怕，开始跑回更衣室。到处都有人在跑。他们看见了沙尼子爵。他的脸涨得通红，非常生气。“克里斯汀在哪里?克里斯汀在哪里?”他喊道。突然，波斯人走到他身后，抓住他的胳膊。他对子爵说了些什么，他们就走进了克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆室.....”
“是吗?然后呢?”菲尔曼先生很快地说。“接下来发生了什么?”
“没人知道!”麦格的脸变白了。“我们查看了克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆间，但是……但这…那里一个人也没有!” -

Chapter 7: My angel of music
For a week, Raoul saw Christine every day.
Some days, Christine was quiet and unhappy, someday she laughed and sang.
She never wanted to talk about the Opera House, or her singing, or Raoul's love for her.
Raoul was very afraid for her.
Who, or what was this strange teacher, This man's voice, her "Angel of Music"?
Then, one day, there was no Christine.
She was not at her home, not at the Opera House, not at their meeting places.
Raoul looked everywhere and asked everybody.
Where was Christine Daae?
But nobody knew.
Two days before the Opera House opened again, a letter arrived for Raoul.
It was from Christine.
Meet me in an hour at the top of the Opera House on the 10th floor. The 10th floor of the Opera House was a dangerous place. There were hundreds of ropes going down to the stage below - It was a long, long way down.
Raoul and Christine sat in a dark corner and Raoul took Christine's hands.
Her face was white and tired.
"Listen,Raoul," she said quietly. "I'm going to tell you everything. But this is our last meeting. I can never see you again."
"No, Christine!Raoul cried. "I love you. And we--"
"Shh! Quietly perhaps he can hear us. He's everywhere in the Opera House, Raoul."
"Who? What are you talking about, Christine?"
"My angel of music. I couldn't meet you last Saturday because he came for me and took me away.I was in my dressing room in the opera house and suddenly, he was there in front of me. I saw the voice for the first time! He wore black evening clothes and a mask over his face. He took me through many secret doors and passages,down, down under the Opera House. There is a lake down there, a big lake; the waters are black and cold.
He took me across the lake in a boat to his house. He lives there, Raoul, in house on the lake,under the Opera House! "
Raoul stared at her.Was his beautiful Christine mad?
Christine saw his face and said quickly: "It's true. It's true! And he …. he is the phantom of the Opera! But he's not a ghost, he's not an angel of music, he's a man! His name is Erik, and he loves me, he wants me to be his wife. No, Raoul, listen, there is more. He told me all this in his house, in a beautiful room. He said that no woman could ever love him, because of his face. He was so unhappy! Then he took off his mask, and I saw his face."
She began to cry,and Raoul put his arms around her.
"Oh Raoul, he has the most terrible face! It is so ugly! I wanted to scream and runaway. But where could I run to?He has the face of a dead man, Raoul, but he is not dead!He has no nose, just two black holes in his yellow face. And his eyes!Sometimes they are black holes, sometimes they have a terrible red light...."
She put her face in her hands for a second.
Then she said,"I stayed in his house for five days. He was very good to me, and I felt sorry for him, Raoul. He wants me to love him, and I told him ...I told him… "
"No, Christine,no! you're going to be my wife! Come away with me at once, today! You can't go back to him.
"But I must," Christine said quietly. "He knows about you, Raoul. He knows about us. He says he's going to kill you. I must go back to him."
"Never!"said Raoul.
"I love you,Christine, and I'm going to kill this Erik!".
Erik...Erik...Erik...Erik...The word whispered around the Opera House.
Raoul and Christine stared.
"What was that?" Raoul said, afraid. "Was that .…. his voice? Where did it come from?"
"I'm afraid,Raoul, " Christine whispered. "I'm singing Margarita again on Saturday. What's going to happen?"
"This,"Raoul said, "After the opera on Saturday night, you and I are going away together. Come on. Let's go down now. I don't like it up here."
They went carefully along a dark passage to some stairs, then suddenly stopped.
There was a man in front of them, a tall man and a long dark coat and a black hat.
He turned and looked at them.
"No, not these stairs,"he said. "Go to the stairs at the front. And go quickly!"
Christine turned and ran. Raoul ran after her.
"Who was that man?" he asked.
"It's the Persian,"Christine answered.
"But who is he?What's his name? Why did he tell us to go to the front stairs?"
"Nobody knows his name. He's just the Persian. He's always in the Opera House. I think he knows about Erik, but he never talks about him. Perhaps he saw Erik on those stairs, and wanted to help us."
Hand in hand, they ran quickly down the stairs, through passages, then more stairs and more passages.
At one of the little back doors to the Opera House, they stopped.
"On Saturday night,then. After the opera," Raoul said. "I'm going to take you away, and marry you."
Christine looked up into his face. "Yes, Raoul."
Then they kissed,there by the door of the Opera House.
Their first kiss.

第七章:我的音乐天使
整整一个星期，拉乌尔每天都见到克里斯汀。
有些日子，克里斯汀安静而不快乐，有些日子她又笑又唱。
她从来不想谈歌剧院，不想谈她的歌唱，也不想谈拉乌尔对她的爱。
拉乌尔非常担心她。
这个奇怪的老师是谁，或者是什么，这个男人的声音，她的“音乐天使”?
然后，有一天，克里斯汀不见了。
她不在家里，不在歌剧院，不在他们见面的地方。
拉乌尔到处看了看，问了问每个人。
克丽斯廷·达埃在哪儿?
但是没有人知道。
在歌剧院重新开放的前两天，拉乌尔收到了一封信。
是克里斯汀寄来的。
一小时后在歌剧院顶层10楼见。歌剧院的10楼是个危险的地方。有几百根绳子通往下面的舞台——这是一条很长很长的路。
拉乌尔和克里斯汀坐在一个黑暗的角落里，拉乌尔拉着克里斯汀的手。
她的脸苍白而疲惫。
“听着，拉乌尔。”她平静地说。“我要告诉你一切。但这是我们最后一次见面了。我再也见不到你了。”
“不,克里斯汀!拉乌尔哭了。“我爱你。我们——”
“嘘!悄悄地，也许他能听见我们。他在歌剧院无处不在，拉乌尔。”
“谁?你在说什么，克里斯汀?”
“我的音乐天使。上周六我没能见到你，因为他来接我，把我带走了。我在歌剧院的更衣室里，突然，他出现在我面前。我第一次看到了那个声音!他穿着黑色晚礼服，脸上戴着面具。他带我穿过许多秘密的门和通道，往下走，往下走，一直走到歌剧院下面。那里有一个湖，一个大湖;水又黑又冷。
他用小船带我渡过湖去他家。他住在那儿，拉乌尔，在湖边的房子里，在歌剧院下面!”
拉乌尔盯着她。他美丽的克里斯汀疯了吗?
克里斯汀看到他的脸，急忙说:“这是真的。这是真的!他....他是歌剧里的幽灵!但他不是鬼，他不是音乐天使，他是人!他叫埃里克，他爱我，他想让我做他的妻子。不，拉乌尔，听着，还有更多。他在他的房子里，在一个漂亮的房间里告诉了我这一切。他说没有女人会因为他的脸而爱他。他太不开心了!然后他摘下面具，我看到了他的脸。”
她哭了起来，拉乌尔搂住了她。
“哦，拉乌尔，他有一张最可怕的脸!它太丑了!我想尖叫着逃跑。但我能逃到哪里去呢?他长着一张死人的脸，拉乌尔，但他没死!他没有鼻子，黄色的脸上只有两个黑洞。还有他的眼睛!有时它们是黑洞，有时它们发出可怕的红光....”
她用手捂了一会儿脸。
她说:“我在他家里住了五天。他对我很好，我为他感到难过，拉乌尔。他想让我爱他，我告诉他……我告诉他……”
“不，克丽斯廷，不!你将成为我的妻子!今天就跟我走吧!你不能回到他身边。
“但是我必须这样做，”克里斯汀平静地说。“他知道你的事，拉乌尔。他知道我们的事了。他说他要杀了你。我必须回到他身边去。”
“决不!”拉乌尔说。
“我爱你，克里斯汀，我要杀了这个埃里克!”
埃里克、埃里克……埃里克、埃里克…这个消息传遍了歌剧院。
拉乌尔和克里斯汀瞪大了眼睛。
“那是什么?”拉乌尔害怕地说。那是.....吗?他的声音吗?它是从哪儿来的?”
“我很害怕，拉乌尔。”克里斯汀低声说。“星期六我又要唱玛格丽塔了。会发生什么?”
“这个，”拉乌尔说，“星期六晚上看完歌剧，你和我要一起离开。来吧。我们现在下去吧。我不喜欢这里。”
他们小心翼翼地沿着一条黑暗的通道走到一些楼梯前，然后突然停了下来。
在他们前面有一个人，一个高个子男人，穿着深色的长外套，戴着一顶黑帽子。
他转过身来看着他们。
“不，不是这些楼梯，”他说。“到前面的楼梯上去。快去!”
克里斯汀转身就跑。拉乌尔追着她跑。
“那个人是谁?”他问。
“是波斯人，”克里斯汀回答。
“可他是谁?”他叫什么名字?他为什么叫我们走前面的楼梯?”
“没有人知道他的名字。他只是个波斯人。他总是在歌剧院。我想他知道埃里克的事，但他从不提起他。也许他看见埃里克在楼梯上，想帮助我们。”
他们手拉手迅速跑下楼梯，穿过通道，然后是更多的楼梯和更多的通道。
在歌剧院的一个小后门前，他们停了下来。
“那就星期六晚上吧。看完歌剧，”拉乌尔说。“我要把你带走，娶你。”
克里斯汀抬头看着他的脸。“是的,拉乌尔。”
然后他们在歌剧院门口接吻了。
他们的初吻。 -

原文
Chapter 6: La Carlotta sings Margarita
On Friday morning,La Carlotta had her breakfast in bed.
She drank her coffee and opened her morning letters.
One letter had no name on it.
It was very short.
"You are ill.You cannot sing Margarita to night.Stay at home and don't go to the Opera House. Accidents can happen. Do you want to lose your voice forever?"
La Carlotta was very, very angry.
She got out of bed at once and did not finish her breakfast.
"This is from Christine Daae's friends." She thought. "They want her to sing again tonight. That Daae girl is going to be sorry for this! I, La Carlotta, I am the best opera singer in Paris. And nothing is going to stop me singing Margarita tonight!"
At six o'clock, that evening the dancers were in their dressing room.
They talked and laughed and put on their red and black dresses for Faust.
But Meg Giry was very quiet.
"What's the matter Meg? " Annie Sorelli asked.
"It's the opera ghost," Meg said. "My mother says he's angry. She's afraid that something's going to happen tonight. "
" Oh,pooh!" the girl with black hair said. "Who's afraid of an old ghost?"
An hour later, Mr.Armand and Mr. Firmin went into Box 5 and sat down.
They were not afraid of ghosts. Of course not.
There were no ghosts in the Opera House.
Then, Mr. Armand saw flowers on the floor by the door of the box.
"Firmin,"he whispered, "did you put those flowers there?"
Mr. Firmin looked.
"No, I didn't," he whispered back, "Did you?"
"Of course not,you fool! Shh, the music's beginning."
La Carlotta did not sing for the first hour.
There were no strange voices in Box 5, and the two directors began to feel happier.
Then, La Carlotta came out onto the stage, and Mr. Firmin looked at Mr. Armand.
"Did you hear a voice just then?" he asked quietly.
"No," Mr.Armand said, but he looked behind him twice, then three times, and suddenly felt cold.
La Carlotta sang and sang, and nothing happened.
Then she began a beautiful love song. "My love begins to -Co-ack!"
Everybody stared.
What was the matter with Carlotta's voice? What was that strange noise -Co-ack? Carlotta stopped and began the song again.
"My love begins to - Co-ack!" "I cannot forget my - Co-ack!"
It was the noise of a toad!
People began to talk and laugh.
Mr. Firmin put his head in his hands.
Then he felt Mr. Armand's hand on his arm.
There was a void in the box with them! A man's voice, laughing!
Poor Carlotta tried again, and again. "I cannot forget my - Co-ack.!"
Then the two directors heard the voice again, behind them, in front of them, every where.
"Her Singing tonight is going to bring down the chandelier!"
The two directors looked up at the top of the Opera House.
Their faces were white.
The famous chandelier, with its thousand lights, broke away from its ropes and crashed down to the people below.
That was a terrible night for the Paris Opera House.
One woman was killed by the chandelier, and many people were hurt.
The Opera House closed for two weeks.
And La Carlotta never sang again.

第六章:拉·卡洛塔演唱玛格丽塔。
星期五早上，拉·卡洛塔在床上吃早餐。
她喝着咖啡，打开早晨的信。
有一封信上没有名字。
它很短。
“你病了。今晚你不能唱玛格丽塔。呆在家里，不要去歌剧院。事故是可能发生的。你想永远失声吗?”
拉·卡洛塔非常非常生气。
她立刻下了床，没有吃完早餐。
“这是克里斯汀·达埃的朋友送的。”她想。“他们想让她今晚再唱一次。那个叫达埃的女孩会为此后悔的!我，拉·卡洛塔，我是巴黎最好的歌剧演唱家。今晚没有什么能阻止我唱玛格丽塔!”
那天晚上六点钟，跳舞的人都在化妆室里。
他们有说有笑，为《浮士德》穿上红黑相间的衣服。
但梅格·吉丽很安静。
“怎么了，梅格?”安妮·索雷利问道。
“是歌剧里的鬼魂，”麦格说。“我妈妈说他生气了。她担心今晚会发生什么事。”
“哦，呸!”黑头发的女孩说。“谁会怕鬼?”
一小时后，阿尔芒先生和菲尔曼先生走进5号包厢坐下。
他们不怕鬼。当然不是。
歌剧院里没有鬼。
接着，阿尔芒先生看见包厢门边的地板上有花。
“菲尔曼，”他低声说，“那些花是你放那儿的吗?”
菲尔曼先生看了看。
“不，我没有，”他小声回答，“你呢?”
“当然不是，你这个傻瓜!”嘘，音乐开始了。”
拉·卡洛塔第一个小时没有唱歌。
5号包厢里没有奇怪的声音，两位主管开始感到高兴起来。
然后，拉·卡洛塔走到舞台上，菲尔曼先生看着阿尔芒先生。
“刚才你听到什么声音了吗?”他轻轻地问。
“不，”阿尔芒先生说，但他回头看了两遍，又看了三遍，突然感到一阵寒意。
拉·卡洛塔唱了又唱，什么也没发生。
然后她开始唱一首美丽的情歌。“我的爱开始——呱!”
每个人都盯着。
卡洛塔的声音怎么了?那奇怪的声音是什么?卡洛塔停下来，重新开始唱歌。
“我的爱开始——退呱!” “我不能忘记我的——呱!”
那是癞蛤蟆的声音!
人们开始有说有笑。
菲尔曼先生双手抱头。
接着，他感到阿尔芒先生的手在他的胳膊上。
在他们的盒子里有一个空白!一个男人的声音，在笑!
可怜的卡洛塔试了一次又一次。“我不能忘记我的——呱 !”
然后两位主管又听到了那个声音，在他们身后，在他们前面，到处都是。
“她今晚的歌声会使枝形吊灯黯然失色的!”
两位导演抬头望着歌剧院的顶楼。
他们的脸都白了。
那盏挂着上千盏灯的著名枝形吊灯从绳索上脱落下来，砸向下面的人。
对巴黎歌剧院来说，那是一个可怕的夜晚。
一名妇女被吊灯砸死，许多人受伤。
歌剧院关闭了两个星期。
拉·卡洛塔再也没唱过歌。 -

Chapter 5: A letter for Raoul
That Wednesday, a letter also arrived for the young Vicomte de Chagny.
He opened the letter,saw the name at the bottom, and smiled for the first time that day.
Dear Raoul, Of course I remember you! How could I forget you? Meet me on Thursday at three o'clock in the Tuileries Gardens. Don't be angry with me. Raoul, please.Christine Daae
Raoul put the letter carefully into his pocket.
Angry? How could he be angry with an angel?
On Thursday, he was in the Tuileries Gardens by two o'clock.
At ten past three,he began to feel unhappy.
At half past three, he wanted to die, or to kill somebody.
And then ... she came. she ran through the gardens to him, and in a second she was in his arms.
"Oh,Christine!", he said, again and again. "Oh, Christine!"
They walked through the gardens together and talked for a long time.
They remember their happy weeks in Brittany, four years ago.
"But why did you go away, Christine?" Raoul asked, "Why didn't you write tome?"
For a minute or two,Christine said nothing.
Then she said slowly, "We were so young, you and I. I was just a poor singer from Norway, and you, you were the Vicomte de Chagny. I knew I could never be your wife."
"But I love you, Christine ---"
"No. Listen to me,Raoul, please. I went home to Norway, and a year later, my father died. I was very unhappy, but I came back to France, to Paris. I worked and worked at my singing, because I wanted to be an opera singer. Not just a good singer, but the best opera singer in Paris."
"And now you are," Raoul said, He smiled. "All Paris is at your feet."
Christine turned her face away and said nothing.
"Christine,"Raoul said quietly. "I want to ask you a question. Who was the man in your dressing room on Tuesday night? Tell me, please."
Christine stopped and stared at him. Her face went white.
"What man?", she whispered. "There was no man in my dressing room on Tuesday night."
Raoul put his hand on her arm.
"I heard him," he said, "I listened outside the door and heard a man's voice.Who was he?"
"Don't ask me Raoul!There was a man's voice. Yes, but there was no man in my room! It's true! Oh,Raoul, I'm so afraid. Sometimes. I want to die."
"Who is he?Tell me, Christine, please. I'm your friend, I can help you. Tell me his name!"
"I cannot tell you his name. It's a secret," whispered Christine.
"I never see nhim, I only hear his voice. But he is everywhere! He sees everything, hears everything.That's why I didn't speak to you on Tuesday night. He is my music teacher,Raoul. He's a wonderful singer. I sang so well on Tuesday night because of him.I am famous because of him. He is my angel of music. And he says he loves me.How can I leave him?"

第五章：给拉乌尔的信
那个星期三，年轻的德查尼子爵也收到了一封信。
他打开信，看到底部的名字，那天第一次笑了。
亲爱的拉乌尔，我当然记得你！我怎么会忘记你？星期四下午三点在杜乐丽花园见我。别生我的气，拉乌尔，求你了。克莉丝汀·达埃
拉乌尔小心地把信放进口袋里。
生气？他怎么会对天使生气呢？
星期四下午两点，他已经到了杜乐丽花园。
三点十分，他开始感到不高兴。
三点半，他想死，或者杀了人。
然后。。。她来了。她穿过花园向他跑去，不一会儿，她就在他怀里了。
“哦，克莉丝汀！”他一遍又一遍地说。“哦，克莉丝汀！”
他们一起穿过花园，聊了很久。
他们还记得四年前在布列塔尼度过的快乐时光。
“但是你为什么走了，克莉丝汀？”拉乌尔问，“你为什么不给我写信？”
有一两分钟，克里斯汀什么也没说。
然后她慢慢地说：“我们太年轻了，你和我。我只是一个来自挪威的穷歌手，而你，你就是夏尼子爵。我知道我永远不会成为你的妻子。”
“但我爱你，克莉丝汀——”
“不，听我说，拉乌尔，拜托。我回到挪威的家，一年后，我父亲去世了。我很不高兴，但我回到了法国，回到了巴黎。我一直在努力唱歌，因为我想成为一名歌剧演员。不仅是一名好歌手，而且是巴黎最好的歌剧演员。”
“现在你是了，”拉乌尔笑着说。“整个巴黎都在你的脚下。”
克莉丝汀转过脸，什么也没说。
“克莉丝汀，”拉乌尔平静地说。“我想问你一个问题。周二晚上在你更衣室里的那个人是谁？请告诉我。”
克莉丝汀停下脚步，盯着他看。她的脸变白了。
“什么男人？”她低声说。“周二晚上，我的更衣室里没有男人。”
拉乌尔把手放在她的胳膊上。
“我听见了，”他说，“我在门外听着，听到一个男人的声音。他是谁？”
“别问我拉乌尔！有个男人的声音。是的，但我房间里没有人！这是真的！哦，拉乌尔，我好害怕。有时候。我想死。”
“他是谁？告诉我，克莉丝汀。我是你的朋友，我可以帮你。告诉我他的名字！”
“我不能告诉你他的名字。这是个秘密，”克里斯汀低声说。
“我从来没见过他，我只听到他的声音。但他无处不在！他看到了一切，听到了一切。这就是为什么我星期二晚上没有和你说话。他是我的音乐老师拉乌尔。他是一个很棒的歌手。我星期二晚唱得这么好是因为他。我因为他而出名。他是我们的音乐天使。他说他爱我。我怎么能离开他呢？”
