ABriefIntroduction

(介紹)亨利.希金斯（HenryHiggins）是一名固執(zhí)高傲語(yǔ)言學(xué)教授。有一天他碰到了言語(yǔ)粗鄙賣(mài)花女伊莉莎.多莉特（ElizaDoolittle），告訴她一個(gè)人語(yǔ)音標(biāo)志著這個(gè)人社會(huì)地位，假如她改進(jìn)發(fā)音就可能會(huì)有一份體面工作。教授回家后，碰到了同行皮克林（Pickering）上校，他告訴上校他能在六個(gè)月內(nèi)把一個(gè)下層社會(huì)女子培養(yǎng)成為上流社會(huì)淑女。上校與教授打賭此事不可能。第二天恰好伊莉莎來(lái)了，在上校幫助下，她成了教授學(xué)生。經(jīng)過(guò)刻苦學(xué)習(xí)，她取得了巨大進(jìn)步，變得談吐高雅、儀態(tài)端莊。最終在一次大型舞會(huì)上，她被介紹給上層社會(huì)，贏得了眾人贊美，并被皇家語(yǔ)音教授認(rèn)為是某國(guó)公主。教授回家后，興高采烈地向上校索要賭金，完全忽略了伊莉莎，伊莉莎一怒之下，忿然離去。此時(shí)若有所失教授才感到伊莉莎已成為自己生活一部分。Questions:1.Howmanycharactersarethereintheplay?2.What’stheweatherlikewhentheplaybegins?3.DoyouthinkElizaawell-educatedwoman?Why?Three.No,sheisapoor-educatedwoman.Wecanknowitclearlyfromherlanguage,clothesandherbehavior.Whentheplaybegins,itispouringwithrain.Eliza
