The English version:
Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kind of “free lunch” strikes the poor and honest young man Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers (Roderick & Oliver). From then on, he becomes a bright focus of the money-priority society. Later, the lucky young man experiences two sharply different treatments in the tailor shop, served in cold should and contempt at first but flattery soon after the large bank note is shown. In the ball, people from every social class try every chance to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Fortunately, Henry meets Potia and gain love from this beautiful woman.
As we all know, the whole story roots from the bet of the brothers. What is the bet actually? Where does the attraction of the bank note lie in ?

八：马克·吐温写的《百万英镑》的主要内容
百万英镑
作者：马克·吐温
二十七岁那年，我正给旧金山的一个矿业经济人打工，把证券交易所的门槛摸得清清楚楚。我是只身混世界，除了自己的聪明才智和一身清白，就再也没什么可依靠的了；不过，这反倒让我脚踏实地，不做那没影儿的发财梦，死心塌地奔自己的前程。每到星期六下午股市收了盘，时间就全都是我自己的了，我喜欢弄条小船到海湾里去消磨这些时光。有一天我驶得远了点儿，漂到了茫茫大海上。正当夜幕降临，眼看就要没了盼头的时候，一艘开往伦敦的双桅帆船搭救了我。漫漫的旅途风狂雨暴，他们让我以工代票，干普通水手的活儿。到伦敦上岸的时候，我鹑衣百结，兜里只剩了一块钱。连吃带住，我用这一块钱顶了二十四个小时。再往后的二十四个小时里，我就饥肠辘辘，无处栖身了。第二天上午大约十点钟光景，我破衣烂衫，饿着肚子正沿波特兰大道往前蹭。这时候，一个保姆领着孩子路过，那孩子把手上刚咬了一口的大个儿甜梨扔进了下水道。不用说，我停了下来，满含欲望的眼光罩住了那个脏兮兮的宝物儿。我口水直淌，肚子里都伸出手来，全心全意地乞求这个宝贝儿。可是，只要我刚一动弹，想去拣梨，总有哪一双过路的火眼金睛明察秋毫。我自然又站得直直的，没事人一样，好像从来就没在那个烂梨身上打过主意。这出戏演了一回又一回，我就是得不着那个梨。我受尽煎熬t正打算放开胆量、撕破脸皮去抓梨的时候，我身后的一扇窗子打开了，一位先生从里面发话：“请到这儿来。”
一个衣着华丽的仆人把我接了进去，领到一个豪华房间，里头坐着两位上了岁数的绅士。他们打发走仆人，让我坐下。他们刚刚吃了早餐，看着那些残羹剩饭，我简直透不过气来。有这些吃的东西在场，我无论如何也集中不了精力，可是人家没请我品尝，我也只好尽力忍着。这里刚刚发生过的事，我是过了好多天以后才明白的，不过现在我就马上说给你听。这对老兄弟为一件事已经有两天争得不可开交了，最后他们同意打个赌来分出高低——无论什么事英国人靠打赌都能一了百了。你也许记得，英格兰银行曾经发行过两张一百万英镑的大钞，用于和某国公对公交易之类的特殊目的。不知怎么搞的，这两张大钞只有一张用过后注销了；另一张则一直躺在英格兰银行的金库里睡大觉。且说这两兄弟聊着聊着，忽发奇想：假如一位有头脑、特诚实的外地人落难伦敦，他举目无亲，除了一张百万英镑的大钞以外一无所有，而且他还没法证明这张大钞就是他的——这样的一个人会有怎样的命运呢？大哥说这人会饿死；弟弟说饿不死。大哥说，别说去银行了，无论去哪儿这人也花不掉那张大钞，因为他会当场被抓住。兄弟两个就这样争执不下，后来弟弟说他愿出两万镑打赌，这人靠百万英镑大钞无论如何也能活三十天，而且进不了监狱。大哥同意打赌，弟弟就到英格兰银行把大钞买了回来。你看，英国男子汉就是这样，魄力十足。然后，他口述一信，叫一个文书用漂亮的楷体字誊清；然后，两兄弟在窗前坐了整整一天，巴望来一个能消受大钞的合适人选。他们检阅着一张张经过窗前的脸。有的虽然老实，却不够聪明；有的够聪明，却不够老实；还有不少又聪明又老实的，可人穷得不彻底；等到个赤贫的。又不是外地人——总是不能尽如人意。就在这时，我来了；他们俩认定我具备所有条件，于是一致选定了我；可我呢，正等着知道叫我进来到底要干什么。他们开始问一些有关我个人的问题，很快就弄清楚了我的来龙去脉。最后，他们告诉我，我正合他们的心意。我说，我打心眼里高兴，可不知道这心意到底是什么意思。这时，俩人当中的一位交给我一个信封，说打开一看便知。我正要打开，可他又不让；要我带到住处去仔仔细细地看，不要草率从事，也不用慌慌张张。我满腹狐疑，想把话头再往外引一引，可是他们不干。我......余下全文>>
