【答案】 《雾都孤儿》的英文梗概
　　Oliver Twist is born in
　　a workhouse in 1830s England.His mother,
　　whose name no one knows,is found on the street and dies just after
　　Oliver’s birth.Oliver spends the first nine years of his life in
　　a badly run home for young orphans and then is transferred to a
　　workhouse for adults.After the other boys bully Oliver into asking
　　for more gruel at the end of a meal,Mr.Bumble,the parish beadle,
　　offers five pounds to anyone who will take the boy away from the
　　workhouse.Oliver narrowly escapes being apprenticed to a brutish
　　chimney sweep and is eventually apprenticed to a local undertaker,
　　Mr.Sowerberry.When the undertaker’s other apprentice,Noah Claypole,
　　makes disparaging ments about Oliver’s mother,Oliver attacks
　　him and incurs the Sowerberrys’ wrath.Desperate,Oliver runs away
　　at dawn and travels toward London.
　　Outside London,Oliver,starved and exhausted,meets
　　Jack Dawkins,a boy his own age.Jack offers him shelter in the
　　London house of his benefactor,Fagin.It turns out that Fagin is
　　a career criminal who trains orphan boys to pick pockets for him.
　　After a few days of training,Oliver is sent on a pickpocketing
　　mission with two other boys.When he sees them swipe a handkerchief
　　from an elderly gentleman,Oliver is horrified and runs off.He
　　is caught but narrowly escapes being convicted of the theft.Mr.
　　Brownlow,the man whose handkerchief was stolen,takes the feverish
　　Oliver to his home and nurses him back to health.Mr.Brownlow is
　　struck by Oliver’s resemblance to a portrait of a young woman that
　　hangs in his house.Oliver thrives in Mr.Brownlow’s home,but two
　　young adults in Fagin’s gang,Bill Sikes and his lover Nancy,capture
　　Oliver and return him to Fagin.
　　\x09Fagin sends Oliver to assist Sikes in a burglary.Oliver
　　is shot by a servant of the house and,after Sikes escapes,is taken
　　in by the women who live there,Mrs.Maylie and her beautiful adopted
　　niece Rose.They grow fond of Oliver,and he spends an idyllic summer with
　　them in the countryside.But Fagin and a mysterious man named Monks
　　are set on recapturing Oliver.Meanwhile,it is revealed that Oliver’s
　　mother left behind a gold locket when she died.Monks obtains and
　　destroys that locket.When the Maylies e to London,Nancy meets
　　secretly with Rose and informs her of Fagin’s designs,but a member
　　of Fagin’s gang overhears the conversation.When word of Nancy’s
　　disclosure reaches Sikes,he brutally murders Nancy and flees London.
　　Pursued by his guilty conscience and an angry mob,he inadvertently
　　hangs himself while trying to escape.
　　\x09Mr.Brownlow,with whom the Maylies have reunited Oliver,confronts
　　Monks and wrings the truth about Oliver’s parentage from him.It
　　is revealed that Monks is Oliver’s half brother.Their father,Mr.
　　Leeford,was unhappily married to a wealthy woman and had an affair
　　with Oliver’s mother,Agnes Fleming.Monks has been pursuing Oliver
　　all along in the hopes of ensuring that his half-brother is deprived
　　of his share of the family inheritance.Mr.Brownlow forces Monks
　　to sign over Oliver’s share to Oliver.Moreover,it is discovered
　　that Rose is Agnes’s younger sister,hence Oliver’s aunt.Fagin
　　is hung for his crimes.Finally,Mr.Brownlow adopts Oliver,and
　　they and the Maylies retire to a blissful existence in the countryside.
