第二幕，第一场

打赌

第二天上午11点，在亨利·希金斯家。亨利·希金斯同皮克林上校正坐着深切地交谈。

希：你还想不想听听更多的发音呢？

皮：不听了，谢谢。我本来还很自负的，因为我能清晰地发出24个元音来。而你却发出了130个元音，其中多数我都分辨不清。你赢我了。

希：(笑起来)噢，这都是练习的结果。

敲门声起，女管家皮尔斯夫人(管)带着甜点、茶壶、奶油和

两个杯子进来。

管：(犹豫地)一个年轻姑娘求见你。

希：年轻姑娘！她想要什么？

管：哦，很普通的一个年轻姑娘，手指甲脏兮兮的。我本来还以为是你要她来对着机器讲话的呢。

希：怎么啦？她的口音很有趣吗？咱们来看看吧。皮尔斯夫人，带她进来。

管：(半听半不听地)好吧，先生。(随即向楼下走去) 希：还真是运气，我让你看看我是怎样在唱片上录音的。

管：(返回来)先生，这就是那个年轻姑娘。(伊莱扎跟在皮尔斯夫人后面羞怯地走进房来。她穿着破旧的衣服，还脏兮兮的。进来就朝两位先生行屈膝礼。)

希：(失望地)好啦！我已经给这个年轻姑娘做过记录了。她就是那天我们见到过的那个，现在根本就没有用了，带她走吧。

皮：(温和地对伊莱扎说)年轻姑娘，你想要做什么？

伊：(不安地)我想在花店里当卖花姑娘，不想到街上卖花了。但是他们不会要我，除非我讲话讲得好些，所以我来了，准备付给他钱。我不是求他帮忙——可他把我当下贱人看待。

希：你给多少钱？

伊：(比较高兴)啊，你发话了。我的一位女士朋友跟一个真正的法国人学法文，每小时两先令。你总不会有脸要我付跟学法语同样多的钱吧。所以我最多给你一个先令。

希：(不理睬伊莱扎，而跟皮克林说)要是你想到这个年轻姑娘身上能有多少钱，那么，这就是我能得到的最高薪俸了！(对伊莱扎说)不过，要是我来教你，我会比当爸爸的还要严格。

皮：喂，希金斯。你还记得昨天晚上你说过的话吗？如果你能使她冒充一位贵夫人，那么我说你就是当今最了不起的教师了。我会为这个小赌当裁判，而且课时费也由我来付……

伊：(感激地)啊，你真好，真好。谢谢你。上校。

希：哦，她真是粗俗得可爱。(提出折衷的办法)好吧，我教你。(对皮尔斯夫人说)不过，

她得先把自己洗干净了。把她带下去，皮尔斯夫人。给她洗一洗，把那身可怕的脏衣服全都烧掉。我们给她买新的。姑娘，你叫什么名字？

伊：我叫伊莱扎·杜利特尔。我是干净的，上个礼拜才洗过澡，我的衣服送到洗衣房了。

管：哦，希金斯先生有自己的浴缸，他每天早晨都要洗澡。如果你要这两位先生教你，你就得照着办。他们不想闻到你身上的那股气味。

伊：(哭泣)我不能，我不敢。这太别扭了，会要我的命的。我这一生从来没有在浴缸里洗过澡，特别是全身浸泡，冲洗腰部以下或者把我的背心拿走我也是不会洗的。要是我知道你要我做这种丑事，我是决不会来的……

希：我再说一遍，把她带走，皮尔斯夫人，立刻带走。(伊莱扎跟皮尔斯夫人出去了，还在哭泣)皮克林，你看到麻烦了吧。

不仅仅是语音问题，还得教语法呢。这两个方面她都需要。

皮：希金斯，还有一个问题。一旦试验完成了，我们准备做什么呢？

希：(兴奋地)把她扔回去。

皮：但你可不能小看这个问题！她是会变的，她也是有感情的。我们必须实际一些，难道不是吗？

希：噢，这个以后再谈吧。首先，我们必须要制订一个最好的教学计划。

皮：先从字母教起怎么样？通常认为那是非常有效的……(两人一起朝台下走去，声音逐渐减弱)
