l Who was Hughie Erskine?
l What act of kindness did he perform one day?

【正确答案】:

       HUGHIE ERSKINE WAS A CHARMING YOUNG MAN WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH A NICE GIRL NAMED LAURA MERTON. LAURA'S FATHER MADE IT CLEAR TO HUGHIE THAT HE WOULD NOT MARRY HIS DAUGHTER TO HUGHIE UNTIL HE GOT TEN THOUSAND POUNDS.
      ONE DAY, HUGHIE WENT TO SEE HIS ARTIST FRIEND , ALAN TREVOR, IN HIS STUDIO. THERE HE FOUND HIS FRIEND PAINTING A BEGGAR, WHO WAS A WIZENED OLD MAN IN RAGS. HUGHIE FELT SO SORRY FOR THE POOR MODEL THAT HE GAVE HIM THE ONLY POUND HE HAD.
      THE OLD MODEL WAS ACTUALLY A MILLIONAIRE. WHEN HE HEARD ALL ABOUT HUGHIE AND LAURA AND THEIR PROBLEM, HE MADE OUT A CHEQUE FOR TEN THOUSAND POUNDS THE VERY NEXT DAY. THE COUPLE WERE VERY HAPPILY MARRIED, AND THE BEGGAR ATTENDED THEIR WEDDING. 

      IN THE STORY THE WRITER TRIES TO SAY THAT A GENUINE MILLIONAIRE IS NOT ONE WHO HAS, BUT ONE WHO GIVES.


【题目解析】:

       Hughie Erskine是个迷人的年轻人,他爱上了一个叫Laura Merton的好姑娘。Laura的父亲向休吉明确表示,除非他得到一万英镑,否则他不会把女儿嫁给Hughie。

       一天,休吉去他的艺术家朋友Alan Trevor的工作室看他。在那里,他发现他的朋友画了一个乞丐,一个衣衫褴褛的干瘪老人。Hughie为这个可怜的模特儿感到很难过,把他仅有的一英镑给了他。

      那个老模特实际上是个百万富翁。当他听说Hughie和Laura的事以及他们之间的问题时,第二天就开出了一张一万英镑的支票。这对夫妇结婚很幸福,乞丐参加了他们的婚礼。

      在这个故事中,作者试图说一个真正的百万富翁不是一个拥有的人,而是一个付出的人。
