课文原文

**Lesson 74 Out of the limelight 舞台之外**

An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.

‘This is a wonderful place for a picnic,’ said Gloria Gleam.

‘It couldn’t be better, Gloria,’ Brinksley Meers agreed. ‘No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don’t we come more often?’

Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry.

‘Now you get out of here, all of you!’ he shouted: ‘I’m sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says “No Camping”—in case you can’t read!’

‘Look, sheriff,’ said Rockwall, ‘don’t be too hard on us. I’m Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.’

‘Oh, is it?’ said the sheriff with a sneer. ‘Well, I’m Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!’

**参考译文**: 一辆破旧的公共汽车在一条干涸的河床旁停下,一群著名的男女演员下了车。他们戴着墨镜,穿着旧衣服,已经采取了特别的预防措施,以免被人认出。但正如他们很快发现的那样,伪装有时可能太完美了。

“这是个野餐的好地方,“格洛里亚·格利姆说。

“再好不过了,格洛里亚,“布林克斯利·米尔斯表示赞同。“没有记者,没有影迷!我们为什么不常来呢?”

与此同时,另外两位演员——洛克沃尔·斯林格和梅林·格里夫斯——已经把两个大食品篮子搬到了树下阴凉处。当大家都安顿好后,一个陌生人出现了。他看起来很生气。

“现在你们都给我离开这里!“他喊道:“我是这里的治安官。你们看到那个告示了吗?上面写着’禁止露营’——以防你们不识字!”

“听着,治安官,“洛克沃尔说,“别对我们太严厉。我是洛克沃尔·斯林格,这位是梅林·格里夫斯。”

“哦,是吗?“治安官冷笑着说。“好吧,我是布林克斯利·米尔斯,我的另一个名字是格洛里亚·格利姆。现在你们快点离开这里!“
