风和太阳(The Wind And The Sun)
讲故事的人:One day the wind said to the sun,( 有一天风跟太阳说: )
风:“Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his coat off more quickly than you can.”(“看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.) (动作表情:对着太阳说话,手指着路上走的人,表情骄傲、自负)
太阳:“We will see about that I will let you try first.”(“我们等着看吧,我让你先试.”) (动作表情:先看一下路上走的人,然后回头对着风说话,表情谦虚)
风:ok!(做使劲吹风的动作)
路上走的人:winter-kill,winter-kill!(冻死了,冻死了)(动作表情:裹紧衣服,做很冷的动作表情)
讲故事的人:So the wind tried to make the man take off his coat. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his coat more closely around himself. (因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)
风:“I give up I cannot get his coat off.” (“我放弃了,我无法让他把披风脱下来.”(动作表情:灰心,无可奈何)
太阳:let me try!(让我试试)(动作表情:做照耀的动作情)
路上走的人:too damn hot,too damn hot!(热死了,热死了!)
(动作表情:做擦汗动作,脱下大衣)
讲故事的人:Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his coat.(然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来)

Summary
Three young people wanted to save their mother who was very sick. Their mother needed an operation, and it would cost a lot of money. Because they had no money, they decided to rob a bank. However, their plan was defective. Their mother was sad.
Scene I: In the hospital
(In a room, the doctor talks to David.)
David: (Nervous) Is my mother OK?
Doctor: (Serious) Your mother is very sick.
David: How to cure her?
Doctor: Your mother needs an operation, and it will cost a lot of money to cure her.
David: (Grabs the doctor) How much will it cost?
Doctor: It should be at least one million dollars. (Then the doctor goes out.)
David: That is not a small fortune. How will I come up with the money in a short time?
(Andy comes in.)
Andy: Where is Mom? Is she OK? (Looks around)
David: The doctor said that it should cost a big fortune.
Andy: But we don't have enough money to pay for it. What should we do?
David: Let's go home and discuss it.
(On the road, David sees a woman withdraw money from an ATM.)
David: (Excited) Look! It is money.
Andy: But that is a bank.
David: We should earn a lot of money in a short time. This way is quick.
Andy: This way is illegal.
David: But we only have one mother, and she is nice to us.
Andy: Umm... Let’s go home and discuss with sister. Look! There is one hundred dollars on the floor! (Picks it up)
David: (Hits his head) One hundred dollars? We need one billion, not one hundred!
Andy: It is mine. (Croaking voice)
Scene II: David and Andy get home
Sue: Is Mom OK?
David: The doctor said we need a lot of money to save mother.
Sue: But we do not have much money. Look at our home. It is so poor. (Effervescing voice)
David: Do not be sad! Let’s discuss an idea.
Sue: What idea do you have?
Andy: We decide to rob a bank.
Sue: What? Rob a bank? Your brother-in-law has gone to prison several times for robbing banks. I don’t agree! (Angry)
Andy: But we don’t have a choice!
David: If we don’t have enough money, our mother will die.
Sue: OK...this is the only thing we can do.
David and Andy: Let’s go!
Sue: No, we need to make a plan first.
David: Ask our brother-in-law. He always robs banks.
Sue: OK. I will tell him tomorrow.
(Sue takes a lot of weapons back.)
Sue: Choose one weapon you are good at.
(Brothers choose the weapons.)
Sue: Remember to wear your mask.
Scene III: In the bank
Sue: Hello, I want to withdraw a billion dollars from my savings account.
Clerk: (To check her drawing account.) Sorry, you don’t have enough money in your savings account.
Sue: (Taking out a gun) Just do it!
Clerk: Help! Help!
David and Andy: Hurry up!
Andy: Only underwear, no money.
David: Are you stupid! We just need money! (The police officer arrives at the bank)
Police officer: Don't move! Put down your weapons. (The police officer holds up the gun to them.)
David, Andy, and Sue: Oh, my God!
David: The police officer is coming!
Andy: What should we do? (Nervous)
(David, Andy, and Sue want to escape away.)
Sue: I cover you! Go! Hurry! (Police shoots Sue and Sue gets hurt.)
Sue: Oh!
David: Are you OK?
Andy: What happened?
Sue: My leg is hurt! I can’t walk now.
Police officer: Don't move, and give up! You are all under arrested.
Scene IV: In the police office
Police officer: Why did you try to rob the bank? Do you know it is illegal to rob the bank?
David: Because our Mom is sick, we need money to save her.
Andy: We don't have enough money, so we decided to rob the bank.
Sue: We know it is wrong to rob the bank, but we didn’t have any choice.
Police officer: I understand why you need the money but robbing a bank is against the law.
(Mom enters in the police office.)
David, Andy, and Sue: Mom, we were wrong!
Mom: I know you robbed the bank for me, but it's wrong! It will affect your future.
Police officer: We should be good to our parents, but we can't do something against the law.
(All the three young people repent their follies.)
对于3或4人要演一个简短英语话剧 你可以演的剧目很多。比如,莎士比亚《威尼斯商人》法庭上对智的 温馨提示:强烈推荐演个激情的音乐剧 剧院魅影 Music Drama ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ 听。。。柯里斯汀在歌唱。。。
可以将情景喜剧改编啊.简单一点的可以直接找英文版的,如<成长的烦恼>.<人人都爱雷蒙德>,不嫌麻烦的话也可以将中文翻译成英文.
莎士比亚的戏剧都可以改编成话剧。并且他的戏剧在我国都有中文版和英文版。
