Мистер Тауэрс Чендлер откладывал из своей небольшой зарплаты деньги и каждые десять недель в выходном костюме, он отправлялся в дорогую часть города и мастерски разыгрывал из себя богатого бездельника. В остальные дни Чендлер ходил в плохом костюме и питался сомительными табльдотами.
Однажды во время прогулки, направляясь в дорогой модный ресторан, он помог поскользнувшейся на тротуаре скромно одетой девушке. Порядочная, трудящаяся девушка — вот что не хватало его одиноким пиршествам. Чендлер пригласил ее вместе с ним пообедать. Очарованый прелестной спутницей по имени Мерион, видя ее простенькую одежду, Чендлер решил произвести на неё впечатление, рассказывая о том, как он проводит время в клубах и на банкетах, играя в гольф и катаясь на дорогой яхте. Но девушке такое времяпровождение показалось пустым и бесцельным. Куда лучше было бы найти интересную работу. Работать? Каждый раз переодеваться к обеду, делать в день по десять визитов — да бездельники и есть самые работящие люди.
Реклама:
Дома Чендлер задумался: стоило ли городить всю эту чепуху порядочной девушке? Если б он сказал ей правду, они могли бы...
Мерион прошла два квартала и вошла в красивый дорогой особняк. Там беспокоилась ее старшая сестра, куда это Мерион убежала в лохмотьях горничной? А Мерион мечтала о том, как она хочет полюбить человека, пусть он будет самый последний бедняк, только пусть у него будет полезная работа, цель в жизни. А те молодые люди, которые их окружают, проводят всю жизнь в клубах и на банкетах. Разве можно полюбить такого человека, даже если он почтительно относится к бедным девушкам?

12. Marian wanted to go to her dressmaker to tell her to use blue buttons instead of white for her new dress.

14. Chandler lost his fortunate because he played the role of a rich idler, and this type of men did not attract Marian.
2. Proof that
1. Chandler isn't rich. "He worked in the office of an architect and got eighteen dollars a week". " It took him ten weeks to accumulate his capital of ten dollars and it took him only a few hours to spend it, playing the role of a rich idler".
2. Chandler is a kind young man. "Chandler ran up and helped her to her feet". “Can I do anything for you?” said Chandler". “I will call a cab, or …” "I will try to make our dinner as pleasant as possible". "And after dinner I will say good-bye to you, or will take you to your door as you wish.”
3. Marian is rich and lives in a family. "After she had left Chandler the girl came to a rich and handsome house facing on a beautiful avenue". "She sent the chauffeur in the automobile to look for you". "A servant came in and she said: “Helen, tell Mother that Miss Marian has returned'. "We have too much money, so we shall not be left in peace, I am sure".
4. Marian is a serious girl. “The man I can love must have clear blue eyes, he must be handsome and good and he mustn’t try to flirt". "But I shall love a man like that only if he is not lazy, if he has some work to do in the world".

5. Chandler might have won a fortunate. “The man I can love must have clear blue eyes, he must be handsome and good and he mustn’t try to flirt". "No matter how poor he is I shall love him".
3. Add more information to these.
1. Chandler started for the restaurant where he dined one evening out of seventy.
2. He was just going to turn around the corner when he saw the girl slipped on the snow and fell down.

8. In his cheap cold room Chandler put away his evening suit to rest for sixty nine days.
9. Marian explained the situation to her sister. After that these two girls sat down at the window, looking out.
10.Marian thought of the man she could love. That man must have clear blue eyes, he must be handsome and good and he mustn’t try to flirt.
4. Act out the talk between:
1. Chandler and Marian ( after she fell down)
A young girl in front of Chandler slipped on the snow and fell down. Chandler ran up and helped her to her feet
-Thank you, I think I have twisted my ankle.
-Does it hurt very much?
-Yes, it does, but I think I shall be able to walk in a few minutes.
-Can I do anything for you? I will call a cab, or …
-Thank you, but I don’t want to trouble you any longer …
2. Marian and Chandler ( he invites the girl to the restaurant)
-I think, that your foot must rest for some time. I am on my way to dine. How about going with me?
- I’m afraid it is not right.
-Why not?
- We don’t know each other.
- I’ll introduce myself . My name is Towers Chandler.
- But how can I go to the restaurant in this old dress and hat?
- Never mind that. I’m sure you will look better in them than any one we shall see there in the richest evening dress.
- I think I will go with you, Mr. Chandler, because my ankle still hurts me. You may call me … Miss Marian
-All right, Miss Marian.
3. Chandler and Marian ( in the restaurant)
-Do you like the restaurant?

- Yes, I often dine here, if I don’t ride horses, or do not play golf, or pay someone a visit
-Do you like living such an idle life?
-Oh sure.
-Have you no work to do? Have you no other interests?

-It was nice to meet you miss Marian, goodbye.

-Oh, Marian! When will you stop frightening us? Mother is so worried
-Don’t be angry with me, Sister.
- You are a bad, bad girl, Marian!
-I only ran down to my dressmaker to tell her to use blue buttons instead of white for my new dress.
-Dinner is over, dear, you were away so long.
-I know, I slipped in the street and twisted my ankle. So I walked to a restaurant with great difficulty and sat there until my ankle was better. That’s why I was so long.
5. Imagine that you are:
1. Chandler.
I’m Chandler, I’m 22 years old, I work in the architect’s office. This is a boring and poor life, and in order to feel like a rich man who is not burdened with life, I put aside the dollar from my salary for ten weeks and go to an expensive restaurant to have a good time. The last time I went to a restaurant, I met Marian, she slipped in the snow and twisted her ankle. I helped her and invited her to a restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was wonderful. I liked my companion and I decided to play the role of a rich idler in front of her, telling about my carefree life. Later, being at home, I realized that I had made a mistake by deceiving Marian, but it was too late.
2. Marian.
I'm Marian and one day I decided to go to my dressmaker and tell her to sew blue buttons on my new dress. When I walked down the street, I slipped in the snow, fell and sprained my ankle. A young handsome man helped me; he invited me to a restaurant for lunch. I agreed, as my leg was still sore. At the restaurant, Chandler talked a lot about himself and his life. I liked this young man, he was handsome and kind, and did not try to flirt with me. But his whole life, which he told about, was familiar to me, and had already managed to decently get bored. I could not understand why such a handsome young man burns his life without working and not having hobbies, except for rest. I could never love such a person, even if he was young, handsome and kind.
3. Marian's sister.
I am Marian's sister. Two hours ago, my sister left the house, dressed in an old dress and a housekeeper's hat. Mom and I were very worried about Marian, since she had been gone for a very long time. Mom even sent a chauffeur to drive around the city in search of Marian. I was very happy that Marian was back and everything was in order with her. I asked the servant to warn my mother that Marian had returned home.
6. What do you think?
1. What do you think of Chandler? What kind of a husband might he be?
I liked the character Chandler. This type of people is quite common in modern society. And in my opinion, he did nothing wrong, because in fact he is a hardworking and kind person. It would be much worse if a non-working person boasted that he works a lot. And as a husband, I think he would not be bad either. Here you can also emphasize good quality for her husband, as the ability to save money.
2. Do you think he will try to play the role of a rich idler again? Give reasons for your answer?
I think Chandler will continue to play the role of a rich man, and getting to know Marian has not changed anything. Indeed, for him this is an incentive to work hard for ten weeks, so that later there would be an opportunity to plunge into the life of which he dreams. Let and only for the evening. After all, it was on this evening that he feels the self-confidence that he so lacks in his ordinary life.
3. What do you think of Marian? Is she a spoilt girl? What makes you think so? Say what you like about her and what you do not like. Why?
I liked the heroine Marian, and I do not consider her a spoiled girl. She is rich, but at the same time she does not boast of her position, but rather hides it if possible. She herself went to the dressmaker, although she could send a maid; she went on foot, although she could take a driver. All her judgments and aspirations indicate that she is an adult and educated girl. She is not afraid to love the poor man, the main thing is that he be hardworking and purposeful. And her fear of marriage is quite understandable, because the probability of meeting the man of her dreams in the society in which she lives is very, very small. But I would like her dreams to come true.
4. Chandler worked in the office of an architect. Imagine someday Marian's family needs services of an architect to do some restoration work in the house. It is Chandler who comes to do the work. Chandler and Marian meet again. Go on with your imagination.
I think if Chandler and Marian met again, they could have a relationship. After all, Marian liked Chandler, she just did not understand why such a good young man wasted his life aimlessly. And if she found out that he was a hardworking person, I think she would change her mind about him. And in the cases of Chandler, the same situation, because he liked her being a poor girl, I do not think that her money would change his attitude towards her. And the situation where they played each other's roles would only evoke awkward memories in the future. I think they would make an excellent couple, because in fact they are the ideals of each other.

↺Mr. Towers Chandler was pressing his evening suit in his hall bedroom.
Мистер Тауэрс Чендлер гладил у себя в комнатушке свой выходной костюм.
↺One iron was heating on a small gas stove; the other was being pushed vigorously back and forth to make the desirable crease that would be seen later on extending in straight lines from Mr. Chandler's patent leather shoes to the edge of his low-cut vest.
Один утюг грелся на газовой плитке, а другим он — энергично водил взад и вперед, добиваясь желаемой складки; спустя некоторое время можно будет видеть, как она протянется, прямая, словно стрела от его лакированных ботинок до края жилета с низким вырезом.
↺So much of the hero's toilet may be intrusted to our confidence.
Вот и все о туалете нашего героя, что можно довести до всеобщего сведения.
↺The remainder may be guessed by those whom genteel poverty has driven to ignoble expedient.
Об остальном пусть догадываются те, кого благородная нищета толкает на жалкие уловки.
↺Our next view of him shall be as he descends the steps of his lodging-house immaculately and correctly clothed; calm, assured, handsome — in appearance the typical New York young clubman setting out, slightly bored, to inaugurate the pleasures of the evening.
Мы снова увидим мистера Чендлера, когда он будет спускаться по лестнице дешевых меблированных комнат; безупречно одетый, самоуверенный, элегантный, по внешности — типичный нью-йоркский клубмен, прожигатель жизни, отправляющийся с несколько скучающим видом в погоню за вечерними удовольствиями.
↺Chandler's honorarium was $18 per week.
Чендлер получал восемнадцать долларов в неделю.
↺He was employed in the office of an architect.
Он служил в конторе у одного архитектора.
↺He was twenty-two years old; he considered architecture to be truly an art; and he honestly believed — though he would not have dared to admit it in New York — that the Flatiron Building was inferior to design to the great cathedral in Milan.
Ему было двадцать два года. Он считал архитектуру настоящим искусством и был искренне убежден, — хотя не рискнул бы заявить об этом в Нью-Йорке, — что небоскреб «Утюг» по своим архитектурным формам уступает Миланскому собору.

Читаем О. Генри на английском языке. Подойдет для начинающих изучать английский. _______________________________________________ КТО Я ТАКОЙ? Меня зовут Иван, и я лингвист-переводчик. Окончил МГЛУ (Московский Государственный Лингвистический Университет) по программе перевод и переводоведение c арабским и английским языком. Кстати, всеми любимый полиглот Петров (английский за 16 часов на канале Культура) - тоже окончил мой вуз и преподает там сейчас. ПОЧЕМУ Я ДЕЛАЮ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫЕ ВИДЕО? Потому что никто другой не делает. Потому что подавляющее большинство обучающих видеоблогов в Youtube на тематику английского даже сложно назвать обучающими. Их подход абсолютно не систематичен, видео сделаны исключительно ради того, чтобы толкать свои онлайн школы и прочие курсы. В таких видео львиную долю ролика занимают кривляния / отвлечения от темы / бесполезные ТОПЫ СЛОВ, КОТОРЫМ НЕ УЧАТ В ШКОЛЕ и прочий "околообразовательный" бред. Я знаю как Вас научить и сделаю это просто так, просто потому что я могу и хочу это сделать. Меня самого учили 5 лет в лучшем лингвистическом вузе страны и я владею как старыми - советскими методами изучения языка, так и самыми новыми - я искал их для себя ещё во время учебы. Видео на моем канале выпускаются в порядке возрастания сложности. Сделано это для того, чтобы даже тот, кто не знает ни слова по английски, мог зайти на мой канал и ПОСТЕПЕННО, понемногу, слово за словом, правило за правилом, выучить язык. Вы сделаете это привыкая к нему, читая книги вместе со мной, разбирая новости на английском, музыку, трейлеры к фильмам, правила и вообще ВСЕ, что только может понадобиться человеку, чтобы в совершенстве овладеть английским. Мои главные фишки - разбор новостей, т. к. в новостях - самый живой, современный и разнообразный язык. Это одна из крутейших методик, которой (почему-то) в наши дни никто почти не пользуется. - подробный анализ слов и их происхождения (поймете, когда посмотрите пару-тройку моих роликов). - я не хочу на вас заработать, я хочу делать качественный обучающий материал - я переводчик и знаю язык с тех сторон, с которых его не знают даже преподаватели Ну и наконец. Я поставил перед собой задачу сделать такой канал, который способен будет обучить английскому любого с нуля до уровня свободного владения языком. Ближайшие несколько лет я буду занят этим каждый день и остановлюсь только тогда, когда буду на 100% уверен, что моя цель достигнута. _______________________________
