If you are in a western country, you often see people walking their dogs.

如果你在西方国家，可以经常看到人们遛狗。

It is still true that the dog is the most useful animal in the world.

现在仍然是这样，狗是世界上最有用的动物。

However,the reason why one keeps a dog has changed.

然而，人们养狗的原因变了。

Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted to help him in the fight against other animals,and the dog listened to him and did what he told him to do.

从前，有个人遇见了一只狗，想让狗帮助他跟其它动物搏斗，狗听了他的话，做了这个人让他做的事。

Later people used dogs for hunting other animals, and dogs did not eat what they got until their masters agreed.

后来，人们用狗来捕猎其它动物，只有主人同意，狗才能吃到自己捕到的东西。

Dogs were also used for driving sheep and guarding chickens.

人们也用狗驱赶绵羊和看管鸡。

But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals anymore.

但是现在城镇和城市中的人们不再需要狗来和其它动物搏斗了。

Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason for keeping dogs is that they feel lonely in the city.

人们养狗是为了吓唬小偷，但在城市中养狗最重要的原因是人们感到孤独。 

For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with.

一个小孩如果没有朋友一起玩耍，狗就是他最好的朋友。

For a young wife, a dog is her child when she does not have her own.

一个年轻的妻子没有自己的孩子时，狗就是她的孩子。

For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left.

老人他们的孩子长大离开时，狗就是他们的孩子。

Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

现在人们不是必须使用狗了，但他们把狗当作朋友养着，就像家人一样。

The most common type of child abuse, you know, is beating with hands or with an instrument, usually a cane in some places.

最常见的虐待儿童的类型，是用手打或用工具打，在一些地方通常用藤条。

Nearly a third of the abused children we see are in the age group between 6 and 10, and about 65% of them are boys.

我们所看到的受虐待儿童中有近三分之一是6到10岁的儿童，其中大约65%是男孩。

This is the age group when children are first expected to study hard, and parents have great expectations of their progress in school.

在这个年龄段父母们首次要求孩子们努力学习，父母对他们在学校取得进步抱有很大的期望。

Boys,of course, attract more abuse such as beating, because once again parental expectations are high and boys tend to be more energetic and difficult to control than girls.

当然，男孩会遭受更多的虐待，比如殴打，因为父母的期望很高，男孩往往比女孩精力更加充沛，更难控制。

Most experts seem to agree that child abuse is caused by a combination of social and psychological factors.

大多数专家似乎都同意虐待儿童是由社会和心理因素共同造成的。

Families who beat their children are not particularly different from other people.

打孩子的家庭和其他人没什么不同。

The only difference that exists between them is that they lack skills in establishing good relationships with their children.

他们之间唯一的区别是他们缺乏与孩子建立良好关系的技能。

These families too, generally speaking, have other problems such as marriage problems or financial problems.

一般来说，这些家庭也有其他问题，如婚姻问题或经济问题。

Some parents are hurting their children because they strongly believe in the use of traditional disciplinary methods.

一些家长伤害了他们的孩子，因为他们相信传统的惩戒方法。

But many of them have emotional problems. They are often the victims of violence themselves.

但他们中的许多人都有情感问题。他们自己往往是暴力的受害者。

Sometimes they even bear an unreasonable hatred for a child because they believe that the child has brought the family bad luck.

有时他们甚至对孩子怀有不正常的仇恨，因为他们认为孩子给家庭带来了厄运。

原文

Chapter 3: Christine Daae

Mr. Firmin was right.

All Paris talked about the new Margarita in Faust, the girl with the beautiful voice, the girl with the voice of an angel.

People loved her.

They laughed and cried and called for more.

Daae was wonderful,the best singer in the world!

Behind the stage,Meg Giry looked at Annie Sorelli.

"Christine Daae never sang like that before," she said to Annie. "Why was she so good tonight?".

"Perhaps she's got a new music teacher," Annie said.

The noise in the Opera House went on for a long time.

In Box 14, Phillipe, the Comte de Chagny, turned to his younger brother and smiled.

"Well, Raoul,what did you think of Daae tonight?" Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, was 21 years old.

He had blue eyes and black hair, and a wonderful smile.

The Chagny family was old and rich, and many girls in Paris were in love with the young Vicomte.

But Raoul was not interested in them.

He smiled back at his brother.

"What can I say? Christine is an angel, that's all. I'm going to her dressing room to see her tonight."

Phillipe laughed.

He was 20 year solder than Raul, and was more like a father than a brother.

"Ah, I understand." He said, "You are in love! But this is your first night in Paris, your first visit to the opera. How do you know Christine Daae?"

"You remember four years ago, when I was on holiday by the sea, in Brittany?" Raoul said, "Well, I met Christine there. I was in love with her then, and I'm still in love with her today! "

The Comte de Chagny looked at his brother.

"Mmm, I see." He said slowly. "Well, Raoul, remember she is only an opera singer. We know nothing about family."

But Raoul did not listen.

To him, good families were not important, and young men never listened to their older brothers.

There were many people in Christine Daae's dressing room that night.

But there was a doctor with Christine, and her beautiful face looked white and ill.

Raoul went quickly across the room and took her hand.

"Christine!What's the matter? Are you ill?"

He went down on the floor by her chair.

"Don't you remember me? Raoul de chagny, in Brittany?

Christine looked at him, and her blue eyes were afraid.

She took her hand away.

"No, I don't know you. Please go away. I'm not too out."

Raoul stood up, his face red.

Before he could speak,the doctor said quickly.

"Yes, yes, please go away. Everybody, please leave the room. Mademoiselle Daae needs to be quiet.She is very tired."

He moved to the door, and soon everybody left the room.

Christine Daae was alone in her dressing room.

Outside in the passage the young Vicomte was angry and unhappy.

How could Christine forget him? How could you say that to him?

He waited for some minutes, then, very quietly and carefully, he went back to the door of her dressing room.

But he did not open the door, because just then he heard a man's voice in the room!"Christine, You must love me.!" the voice said.

Then Raoul heard Christine's voice.

"How can you talk like that? When I sing only for you? Tonight, I gave everything to you,everything. And now I'm so tired."

Her voice was unhappy and afraid.

"You sound like an angel," the man's voice said.

Raoul walked away.

So that was the answer!

Christine Daae had a lover.

But why was her voiceso unhappy?

He waited in the shadows near her room.

He wanted to see her lover – his enemy!

After about 10 minutes Christine came out of her room, alone, and walked away down the passage.

Raoul waited, but no man came out after her.

There was nobody in the passage, so Raoul went quickly up to the door of the dressing room, opened it and went in.

He closed the door quietly behind him, then called out: Where are you? I know you're in here! Come out!"

There was no answer.

Raoul looked everywhere - under the chairs, behind all the clothes, in all the dark corners of the room.

There was nobody there.

第三章:克里斯汀·达埃

菲尔曼是对的。
整个巴黎都在谈论《浮士德》里的新玛格丽塔，那个有着美丽嗓音的女孩，那个有着天使般嗓音的女孩。
人们喜欢她。
他们又笑又哭，要求更多。
达埃太棒了，他是世界上最好的歌手!
在舞台后面，梅格·吉丽看着安妮·索雷利。
“克丽斯汀·达埃以前从来没有唱过那样的歌，”她对安妮说。“她今晚为什么这么好?”
“也许她有了一个新的音乐老师，”安妮说。
歌剧院里的喧闹声持续了很长时间。
在十四号包厢里，沙尼伯爵菲利普转向他的弟弟，微微一笑。
“喂，拉乌尔，你觉得达埃今晚怎么样?”拉乌尔，夏尼子爵，21岁。
他有一双蓝色的眼睛和一头黑色的头发，还有一个美妙的微笑。
沙尼家族古老而富有，巴黎的许多姑娘都爱上了这位年轻的子爵。
但拉乌尔对他们不感兴趣。
他对他弟弟也笑了笑。
“我能说什么呢?”克里斯汀是个天使，仅此而已。今晚我要去她的化妆室看她。”
菲利普笑了。
他比劳尔大20岁，更像父亲而不是兄弟。
“啊，我明白了。”他说:“你恋爱了!但这是你在巴黎的第一个晚上，你第一次去歌剧院。你是怎么认识克丽斯汀·达埃的?”
“你还记得四年前，我在布列塔尼的海边度假吗?”拉乌尔说:“嗯，我在那里遇到了克里斯汀。那时我就爱上了她，直到今天我还爱着她!”
沙尼伯爵看了看他哥哥。
“嗯，我明白了。”他慢慢地说。“好吧，拉乌尔，记住她只是一个歌剧演员。我们对家庭一无所知。”
但拉乌尔不听。
对他来说，好的家庭并不重要，年轻人从不听哥哥的话。
那天晚上克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆室里有很多人。
但是克丽斯廷身边有一位医生，她美丽的脸显得苍白而病态。
拉乌尔迅速穿过房间，拉起她的手。
“克里斯汀!怎么了?你病了吗?”
他倒在她椅子旁边的地板上。
“你不记得我了吗?布列塔尼的拉乌尔·德·查尼?
克里斯汀看着他，她的蓝眼睛里充满了恐惧。
她把手拿开。
“不，我不认识你。请走开。我还没太落伍。”
拉乌尔站了起来，脸涨得通红。
他还没来得及说话，医生就飞快地说。
“是的，是的，请走开。大家请离开房间。达埃小姐需要安静。她很累了。”
他走到门口，很快大家都离开了房间。
克丽斯廷·达埃一个人在她的化妆室里。
在外面的通道里，年轻的子爵又气又恼。
克里斯汀怎么能忘记他呢?你怎么能这样对他说?
他等了几分钟，然后非常安静、小心地走回她的化妆室门口。
但他没有开门，因为就在这时，他听到房间里有一个男人的声音!“克丽斯廷，你一定爱我!”那声音说。
然后拉乌尔听到了克丽斯廷的声音。
“你怎么能这样说话?”当我只为你而唱?今晚，我把一切都给了你。现在我太累了。”
她的声音里充满了不高兴和恐惧。
“你听起来像个天使，”那人的声音说。
拉乌尔走开了。
这就是答案!
克丽斯廷·达埃有个情人。
可是为什么她的声音这么不高兴呢?
他在她房间附近的阴影里等着。
他想见见她的情人——他的敌人!
大约十分钟后，克里斯汀从她的房间里出来，独自一人，沿着走廊走了。
拉乌尔等着，但没有人出来追她。
走廊里一个人也没有，所以拉乌尔迅速走到更衣室门口，打开门走了进去。
他轻轻地关上身后的门，然后喊道:你在哪里?我知道你在这里!出来!”
没有人回答。
拉乌尔到处找——椅子底下，所有衣服后面，房间里所有黑暗的角落。
那里一个人也没有。

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset

原文

Chapter 2: The directors of the Opera House

The Opera House was famous, and the directors of the Opera House were very important men.

It was the first week of work for the two new directors.

Mr. Armand Moncharmin and Mr. Firmin Richard.

In the director's office the next day, the two men talked about Joseph Buquet.

"It was an accident," Mr. Armand said angrily. "Or Bouquet killed himself."

"An accident? .…… killed himself?"Mr. Firmin said.

"Which story do you want, my friend? Or do you want the story of the ghost?"

"Don't talk tome about ghosts!" Mr. Arrmand said.

"We have 1500 people working for us in this Opera House and everybody is talking about the ghost. They are all mad! I don't want to hear about the ghost. Okay? "

Mr.  Firmin looked at a letter on the table next to him.

"And what are we going to do about this letter, Armand?".

"Do?",cried Mr. Arrmand.

"Why, do nothing,of course! What can we do?"

The two men read the letter again.

It wasn't very long.

To the new directors.Because you are new in the Opera House, I am writing to tell you some important things. Never sell tickets for Box 5. That is my box for every Opera night.

Madame Giry, the doorkeeper, knows all about it. Also, I need money for my work in the Opera House.I am not expensive, and I am happy to take only 20,000 francs a month. That is all. But please remember, I can be a good friend, but a bad enemy. OG.

"Don't sell tickets for Box 5! 20,000 francs a month!"Mr. Armand was very angry again.

"That's the best box in the Opera House, and we need the money, Firmin! And who is this O.G.,eh? Tell me that!"

"Opera ghost,of course," Mr. Firmin said.

"But you're right, Armand. We can do nothing about this letter. It's a joke, a bad joke. Somebody thinks we are fools, because we are new here. That are no ghosts in the Opera House!"

The two men then talked about the opera for that night.

It was Faust, and usually La Carlotta of sang Margarita.

 La Carlotta was Spanish, and the best singer in Paris.

But today, La Carlotta was ill.

"Everybody in Paris is going to be at the opera tonight," said Mr. Armand, "and our best singer is ill. Suddenly! She writes a letter to us just this morning, she is ill, she cannot sing tonight!"

"Don't get angry again, Armand," Mr. Firmin said quickly. "We have Christine Daae, that young singer from Norway. She can sing Margarita tonight. She has a good voice."

"But she's so young., and nobody knows her! Nobody wants to listen to a news singer."

"Wait and see.Perhaps Daae can sing better than La Carlotta. Who knows?"

第二章:歌剧院的主管们

歌剧院很有名，歌剧院的主管们都是非常重要的人物。
这是两位新主任工作的第一周。
阿曼德·蒙查曼先生和菲尔曼·理查德先生。
第二天，在主任的办公室里，两个人谈到了约瑟夫·比凯。
“这是个意外，”阿尔芒生气地说。“或者是波格自杀了。”
“意外?.......自杀了?”菲尔曼说。
“你想听哪个故事，我的朋友?还是你想听鬼的故事?”
“别跟我谈鬼!”阿尔芒说。
“我们有1500人在歌剧院为我们工作，每个人都在谈论鬼魂。他们都疯了!我不想听鬼的事。没事吧?”
菲尔曼先生看了看旁边桌子上的一封信。
“阿尔芒，这封信怎么办呢?”
“怎么办?”阿尔芒先生叫道。
“当然，什么也不做!”我们能做什么呢?”
那两个人又读了一遍信。
它不是很长。
致新任主管。因为你是歌剧院的新人，所以我写信告诉你一些重要的事情。不要卖5号包厢的票。那是我每个歌剧之夜的包厢。守门人吉丽夫人知道这一切。还有，我需要钱在歌剧院工作。我并不贵，一个月只拿两万法郎我就心满意足了。就这些。但请记住，我可以是一个好朋友，而不是一个坏敌人。o.g.
“不要卖5号包厢的票!”一个月两万法郎!”阿尔芒先生又生气了。
“那是歌剧院最好的包厢，我们需要钱，菲尔曼!”这个o.g.是谁?快告诉我!”
“当然是歌剧幽灵，”菲尔曼先生说。
“您说得对，阿尔芒。我们对这封信无能为力。这是个玩笑，一个糟糕的玩笑。有人认为我们是傻瓜，因为我们是新来的。歌剧院里没有鬼!”
然后这两个人谈论了那天晚上的歌剧。
那是《浮士德》，通常是拉·卡洛塔唱的玛格丽塔。
拉·卡洛塔是西班牙人，是巴黎最好的歌手。
但今天，拉·卡洛塔病了。
“今晚巴黎的每个人都要去看歌剧，”阿尔芒先生说，“我们最好的歌唱家病了。突然!她今天早上刚刚给我们写了一封信，她病了，今晚不能唱歌了!”
“别再生气了，阿尔芒，”菲尔曼先生赶紧说。“我们有克里斯汀·达埃，那个来自挪威的年轻歌手。她今晚可以唱玛格丽塔。她有一副好嗓子。”
“但她太年轻了。没有人认识她!没人想听一个新闻歌手的歌。”
“等着瞧吧。也许达埃唱得比拉·卡洛塔好。谁知道呢?”

Story Background

The Opera House in Paris is a very famous and beautiful building.

It is the biggest Opera House in the world.

Work on the building began in 1861 finished in 1875 and cost 47 million francs.

It has 17 floors 10 above the ground, and 7 under the ground.

Behind and under the stage, there are stairs and passages and many many rooms. Dressing rooms for the singers and the dancers, rooms for the stage workers, the opera dresses and shoes.

There are more than 2500 doors in the building.

You can walk for hours and never see daylight under the Paris Opera House.

And the Opera House has a ghost, a phantom, a man in black clothes.

He is a body without a head or a head without a body.

He has a yellow face.

He has no nose.

He has black holes for eyes.

This is the true story of the Phantom of the Opera.

It begins one day in 1880 in the dancer's dressing room.

Chapter 1: The dancers

"Quick, quick, close the door. It's him." Annie Sorelli ran into the dressing room, a face white.

One of the girls ran and close the door.

And then they all turned to Annie Sorelli.

"Who? Where? What's the matter?" They cried.

"It's the ghost" Annie said.

"In the passage, I saw him. He came through the wall in front of me! And ... and I saw his face!"

Most of the girls were afraid, but one of them, at all girl with black hair laughed.

"Pooh!" she said. "Everybody says they see the Opera ghost, but there isn't really a ghost. You saw a shadow on the wall".

But, she did not open the door or look into the passage.

"Lots of people see him," a second girl said. "Joseph Buquet saw him two days ago. Don't you remember?"

Then all the girls began to talk at once.

"Joseph says the ghost is tall, and he wears a black evening coat".

"He has the head of a dead man, with a yellow face and no nose.…."

"... And no eyes - only black holes!".

Then, little Meg Giry spoke for the first time. "Don't talk about him. He doesn't like it. My mother told me."

"Your mother?" The girl with black hair said. "What does your mother know about the ghost?"

"She says that Joseph Buquet is a fool. The ghost doesn't like people talking about him, and one day Joseph Buquet is going to be sorry, very sorry."

"But what does your mother know? Tell us tell us" All the girls cried.

"Oh dear!", said Meg. "But please don't say a word to anyone. You know my mother is the doorkeeper for some of the boxes in the Opera House. Well, Box 5 is the ghost's box!. He watches the Operas from that box, and sometimes he leaves flowers for my mother!"

"The ghost has a box! And leaves flowers in it!"

"Oh, Meg, your mother's telling you stories! How can the ghost have a box?"

"It's true. It's true. I tell you!" Meg said. "Nobody buys tickets for box 5, but the ghost always comes to it on opera nights."

"So somebody does come there?"

"Why, no! the ghost comes, but there is nobody there."

The dances looked at Meg.

"But how does your mother know?" One of them asked.

"There's no man in a black evening coat, with a yellow face. That's all wrong. My mother never sees the ghost in Box 5, but she hears him! He talks to her, but there is nobody there. And he doesn't like people talking about him!".

But that evening, the dancers could not stop talking about the Opera ghost.

They talked before the opera, all through the opera, and after the opera.

But they talked very quietly, and they looked behind them before they spoke.

When the opera finished, the girls went back to their dressing room.

Suddenly, they heard somebody in the passage, and Madame Giry, Meg's mother, ran into the room.

She was a fat, motherly woman, with a red happy face.

But tonight, face was white.

"Oh, girls," she cried. "Joseph Buquet is dead! You know he works a long way down, on the fourth floor under the stage. The other stage workers found his dead body there an hour ago, with a rope around his neck!".

"It's the ghost!" cried Meg Giry."The ghost killed him!".

故事的背景

巴黎歌剧院是一座非常著名和美丽的建筑。
它是世界上最大的歌剧院。
这座建筑始建于1861年，于1875年完工，耗资4700万法郎。
它有17层，地上10层，地下7层。
在舞台的后面和下面，有楼梯、通道和许多房间。歌手和舞者的化妆室，舞台工作人员的化妆室，还有戏服和鞋子。
大楼里有2500多扇门。
你可以在巴黎歌剧院下走上几个小时，却看不到日光。
歌剧院里有一个鬼，一个幽灵，一个穿黑衣服的人。
他是一个没有头的身体，或者是一个没有身体的头。
他有一张黄脸。
他没有鼻子。
他的眼睛像黑洞一样。
这是《歌剧魅影》的真实故事。
故事始于1880年的一天，在舞者的化妆间里。

第一章:舞者

“快，快，把门关上。这是他。”安妮·索雷利跑进化妆室，脸色煞白。
其中一个女孩跑过去把门关上。
然后他们都转向安妮·索雷利。
“谁?在哪里?怎么啦?”他们哭了。
“是鬼，”安妮说。
“在过道里，我看见了他。他在我面前穿墙而入!和…我看见了他的脸!”
大多数女孩都很害怕，但其中一个黑发女孩笑了。
“呸!”她说。“每个人都说他们看到了歌剧院的鬼，但实际上并没有鬼。你看到墙上有个影子。”
但是，她没有打开门，也没有往走廊里看。
“很多人看到他，”另一个女孩说。“约瑟夫·比凯两天前见过他。你不记得了吗?”
然后所有的女孩立刻开始说话。
“约瑟夫说鬼魂很高，穿着一件黑色晚礼服。”
“他长着死人的头，黄脸，没有鼻子.....”
“…而且没有眼睛——只有黑洞!”
然后，小梅格·吉丽第一次开口说话了。“别说他了。他不喜欢它。我妈妈告诉我的。”
“你妈妈?”黑发女孩说。“关于鬼魂，你妈妈知道些什么?”
“她说约瑟夫·比凯是个傻瓜。鬼魂不喜欢人们谈论他，总有一天约瑟夫·比凯会后悔的，非常后悔的。”
“可是你妈妈知道什么?告诉我们，告诉我们”所有的女孩都哭了。
“哦，天哪!”麦格说。“但是请不要告诉任何人。你知道我妈妈是歌剧院一些包厢的看门人。5号包厢是鬼的包厢!他在那个包厢里看歌剧，有时还会给我妈妈送花!”
“鬼有一个包厢! 里面还有花!”
“噢，麦格，你妈妈在给你讲故事呢!鬼怎么会有包厢呢?”
“这是真的。这是真的。我告诉你!”梅格说。“没有人买5号包厢的票，但在歌剧之夜，鬼魂总是来这里。”
“那么，确实有人到那儿去了?”
“为什么,不!鬼来了，但那里没有人。”
跳舞的人看着梅格。
“可你妈妈是怎么知道的?”其中一个问道。
“没有一个穿黑色晚礼服、黄脸的男人。这都是错的。我妈妈从来没见过5号包厢的鬼，但她听到了!他和她说话，但那里没有人。而且他不喜欢人们谈论他!”
但那天晚上，跳舞的人不停地谈论着歌剧院的幽灵。
他们在歌剧开始前，在歌剧的整个过程中，在歌剧结束后都在交谈。
但他们说话的声音很轻，说话前都回头看了看。
歌剧结束后，女孩们回到了她们的化妆间。
突然，他们听到走廊里有人，麦格的母亲吉丽夫人跑进了房间。
她是一个肥胖的、慈母般的女人，红着一张快乐的脸。
但今晚，脸是白的。
“哦，姑娘们，”她叫道。“约瑟夫·比凯死了!”你知道他在很远的地方工作，在舞台下面的四楼。一小时前，其他工作人员在那里发现了他的尸体，脖子上缠着一根绳子!”
“是鬼!”梅格·吉丽叫道。“是鬼杀了他!”
