The Million Pound Bank NoteTo learn to write a scene for a play It sounds difficult to write a play, even a small part of it sounds difficult. Writing a play or drama is quite different from writing a story. The main purpose of a play is to let the characters speak for themselves as much as possible. How actors show us what the characters think and feel is also important. 戏剧作品是一种文学形式，同小说一样也有情节(plot)，人物(character)，背景(setting)，主题(theme)和风格(style)，但它的表现形式却与小说不同。戏剧一般分幕(act)和场(scene)。幕是剧本写作和演出的一个完整段落，按剧情发展的时间、地点划分。场则是幕中的部分。有的剧只分幕，不分场。【写作任务】
假如你校将举办英语短剧表演晚会。请从你喜欢的小说或戏剧中选取一段，为该晚会编写一个英文剧本。
注意：词数250左右。

一、审题定调
本写作任务要求写一段英文剧本。剧本是一种文学形式，主要由台词和舞台说明组成。其中，舞台说明是以剧作者的口气来写的叙述性的文字说明，包括剧中人物、剧情发生的时间及地点、服装、道具、布景以及人物的表情、动作、上下场等。写英语短剧时，注意以下几点：
1.?故事情节的构成主要有以下几部分：
背景：交代故事中的人物、时间和地点等方面的信息。
问题或冲突：人物之间存在的正反两种力量的较量。
高潮：人物之间直接面对矛盾，使剧情达到高潮。
结局：解决矛盾及消除障碍，结束冲突。2.?写英语短剧，尽量使用简洁的语言，要让读者及观众在很短的时间内明白短剧所要表达的内容，因此剧情描写不要有太多的细节。
3.?短剧不像小说，对人物的性格有大段的描写，剧本中人物的刻画主要通过对话实现，所以人物个性要鲜明。
4.?舞台说明和旁白用一般现在时或现在进行时，并使用斜体字，放入括号内。
5.?如剧情需要，可分幕（Act）和场景（Scene）。幕之下分成许多小的场景。二、谋篇布局
我们在此选择莫泊桑的经典之作《项链》中舞会结束后，玛蒂尔德发现项链丢失了的一段作为范例进行改编和写作。我们可将该剧本分成以下几部分来写：
1.?背景：交代故事中的人物、地点和背景等方面的信息（可以旁白的形式给出）。
2.?问题或冲突：玛蒂尔德发现钻石项链不见了。
3.?高潮：夫妻两人寻找解决问题的方法。
4.?结局：解决矛盾及消除障碍，结束冲突（决定借钱还债）。【范文展示】

MATHILDE:?I have, I have, I’ve lost Madame Forestier’s necklace. (her face burns with anxiety)HUSBAND:?(looks at Mathilde, shocked?) What? How? Impossible!
(They look among the folds of her skirt, in her pockets, everywhere, but do not find it.)
HUSBAND:?You must have lost it in the street. Don’t be nervous. Now, I shall go back on foot. Over the whole route, to see whether I can find it. (?puts on his clothes and goes out)

MATHILDE:?How can I return the necklace tomorrow? (sits down and cries sadly)
