This means let's go singing, but
this is usually just for Christmas.





Scrooge

Scrooge is the main character
in A Christmas Carol!

He is a miser!

A miser is someone who doesn't spend money
and just saves it!!

Penny Pincher
Cheapskate

Scrooge


"Mari is such a tightwad. She doesn't
even like to spend money."

I'm getting my mom an Ipad, this year."

Story
映画 「A Christmas Carol クリスマス・キャロル」_f0212156_4592238.jpg
A Christmas Carol is
about a man who has
become a miser.
He treats people poorly
and he has lost his
passion for life.



Money has become everything.
He is then visited by three
ghosts: Christmas Past,
Christmas Present, and
Christmas Future.

映画 「A Christmas Carol クリスマス・キャロル」_f0212156_5425322.jpg
They show him his childhood and the
things that he used to love.
They also show him how
negative and cheap he
has become. After these visits, he
learns to love people again!!!



金が全ての守銭奴に成り果てた男
スクルージの物語。
彼は人に対してひどい扱いをし、
人生に対する情熱も失っていた。
あるクリスマスイブに、そんな彼の元を、3人のゴースト、
クリスマス・パスト(過去)、クリスマス・プレゼント(現在)、
クリスマス・フューチャー(未来)が訪れ、
彼の子供の頃や、かつて好きだったこと、
そして彼がいかにネガティブでけちに成り果てたかを見せていく。
そして、彼は再び人を愛することを学ぶのだった。



Tiny Tim

映画 「A Christmas Carol クリスマス・キャロル」_f0212156_52676.jpg
Tim is the crippled son
of Bob Cratchit, the clerk
that works in Scrooge's office.

When Scrooge is visited by
The Ghost of Christmas Present,
he is shown just how ill Tim really is,
and that Tim will die unless he
receives treatment...
(which the family cannot afford
due to Scrooge's cheapness
).

When visited by
The Ghost of Christmas Future,
all he sees of Tim is his crutch, as Tim has died.
This, and several other visions, led Scrooge
to reform his ways.

Tim doesn't die, actually, and Scrooge becomes
a "second father" to him.



crippled:身体障害者
clerk:事務員
afford:~を買うことができる
due to~:~のせいで
crutch:杖
lead(過去形led):(結果などに)つながる
cheap(形):けちな

This story is about change.
Dicken's had a true gift to
write people. His stories
are always full of humanity.
There isn't a Christmas Story
more famous than this one!!!

Happy Holidays!!!
