Lesson 31
A lovable eccentric
可爱的怪人
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
听录音,然后回答以下问题.
Why did the shop assistant refuse to serve Dickie?
True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves.They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary.This invariably wins them the love and respect of others,for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life.
Up to the time of his death,Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town.He was a shrewd and wealthy businessman,but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life.He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died.
Dickie disliked snobs intensely.Though he owned a large car,he hardly ever used it,preferring always to go on foot.Even when it was raining heavily,he refused to carry an umbrella.One day,he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught in a particularly heavy shower.He wanted to buy a $300 watch for his wife,but he was in such a bedraggled condition than an assistant refused to serve him.Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a large cloth bag.As it was extremely heavy,he dumped it on the counter.The assistant asked him to leave,but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager.Recognizing who the customer was,the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely.When Dickie was given the watch,the presented the assistant with the cloth bag.It contained $300 in pennies.He insisted on the assistant's counting the money before he left -- 30,000 pennies in all!On another occasion,he invited a number of important critics to see his private collection of modern paintings.This exhibition received a great deal of attention in the press,for though the pictures were supposed to be the work of famous artists,they had in fact been painted by Dickie.It took him four years to stage this elaborate joke simply to prove that critics do not always know what they are talking about.
