[00:01.080] | --- lesson 31 A lovable eccentric |
[00:06.040] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
[00:11.600] | --- Why did the shop assistant refuse to serve Dickie? |
[00:17.720] | True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. |
[00:23.400] | They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary. |
[00:30.080] | This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life. |
[00:38.600] | Up to the time of his death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town. |
[00:45.200] | He was a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life. |
[00:53.400] | He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died. |
[01:01.920] | Dickie disliked snobs intensely. |
[01:04.920] | Though he owned a large car, he hardly ever used it, preferring always to go on foot. |
[01:11.200] | Even when it was raining heavily, he refused to carry an umbrella. |
[01:15.720] | One day, he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught in a particularly heavy shower. |
[01:23.240] | He wanted to buy a £300 watch for his wife, |
[01:27.440] | but he was in such a bedraggled condition that an assistant refused to serve him. |
[01:33.040] | Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a large cloth bag. |
[01:39.040] | As it was extremely heavy, he dumped it on the counter. |
[01:43.320] | The assistant asked him to leave, but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager. |
[01:50.840] | Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely. |
[01:58.960] | When Dickie was given the watch, he presented the assistant with the cloth bag. |
[02:04.160] | It contained $300 in pennies. |
[02:08.720] | He insisted on the assistant's counting the money before he left -- 30,000 pennies in all! |
[02:16.000] | On another occasion, he invited a number of important critics to see his private collection of modern paintings. |
[02:23.520] | This exhibition received a great deal of attention in the press, |
[02:27.720] | for though the pictures were supposed to be the work of famous artists, they had in fact been painted by Dickie. |
[02:34.200] | It took him four years to stage this elaborate joke simply to prove that critics do not always know what they are talking about. |

[00:01.080] | 可爱的怪人 |
[00:06.040] | ^听录音,然后回答以下问题。 |
[00:11.600] | |
[00:17.720] | ^真正古怪的人从不有意引人注意。 |
[00:23.400] | ^他们不顾社会习俗,意识不到自己所作所为有什么特殊之处。 |
[00:30.080] | ^他们总能赢得别人的喜爱与尊敬,因为他们给平淡单一的日常生活增添了色彩。 |
[00:38.600] | ^理查德.科尔森生前是我们镇上最有名望的人之一。 |
[00:45.200] | ^他是个精明能干、有钱的商人,但镇上大部分人对他生活中的这一个方面几乎一无所知。 |
[00:53.400] | ^大家都管他叫迪基。早在他去世前很久,他的古怪行为就成了传奇故事了。 |
[01:01.920] | ^迪基痛恨势利小人。 |
[01:04.920] | ^尽管他有一辆豪华小轿车,但却很少使用,常常喜欢以步代车。 |
[01:11.200] | ^即使大雨倾盆,他也总是拒绝带伞。 |
[01:15.720] | ^一天,他遇上一场瓢泼大雨,淋得透湿。 |
[01:23.240] | ^他走进一家高级商店,要为妻子买一块价值300英镑的手表。 |
[01:27.440] | ^但店员见他浑身泥水的样子,竟不肯接待他。 |
[01:33.040] | ^迪基二话没说就走了。一会儿,他带着一个大布口袋回到店里。 |
[01:39.040] | ^布袋很沉,他重重地把布袋扔在柜台上。 |
[01:43.320] | ^店员让迪基走开,他置之不理,并要求见经理。 |
[01:50.840] | ^经理认出了这位顾客,表示了深深的歉意,还严厉地训斥了店员。 |
[01:58.960] | ^店员为迪基拿出了那块手表,迪基把布口袋递给他, |
[02:04.160] | ^口袋里面装着300镑的便士。 |
[02:08.720] | ^他坚持要店员点清那些硬币后他才离去。这些硬币加在一起共有30,000枚! |
[02:16.000] | ^还有一次,他邀请一些著名评论家来参观他私人收藏的现代画。 |
[02:23.520] | ^这次展览引起报界广泛注意, |
[02:27.720] | ^因为这些画名义上是名家的作品,事实上是迪基自己画的。 |
[02:34.200] | ^他花了4年时间策划这出精心设计的闹剧,只是想证明评论家们有时并不解他们所谈论的事情。 |
