The Time Machine

H.G. Wells

(21st September 1866- 13th August 1946) was born in Kent, England. He left school when he was 14, but later he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Science in London. He became a science teacher and he cared very much about the future of our planet. Wells wrote some of the most famous science-fiction books of all time, including The Time Machine, a story about a man who travels into the future. There he meets the child-like Eloi, makes friends with Weena and meets the wild Morlocks. His travels make him think how easily we can destroy our world if we are not careful.

Weena quickly became my friend. We walked together through the valley and I saw splendid buildings and beautiful trees covered in blossom. Birds were singing in the trees. Everywhere there were sweet-smelling flowers. Weena picked one and gave it to me.

One evening, as we walked through the garden together, I saw a creature run across the grass and vanish down a well. It looked like a white ape with strange greyish-red eyes.

"What was that?" I asked Weena.

"A Morlock," she replied. "They live underground."

She seemed frightened and did not want to talk about the strange creatures. I realised then that the future world was not as perfect as it seemed. I decided to go underground and find out about the Morlocks.

"Don't go down there! Please!" Weena cried.

"Don't worry, Weena. I won't be long," I replied.

I began to climb down a small, dark well. After a while, I stopped to rest. Suddenly, a cold hand touched my face. I lit a match and saw three Morlocks running away down a dark passage. They were afraid of the light. I followed them into the large underground chamber. I could hear machines, and I could smell meat. When the Morlocks realised I was there, they began to move towards me. I was scared. I ran back down the passage and climbed up to the garden. I could hear the Morlocks close behind me.

"Why are they chasing me?" I asked Weena.

"On dark nights, the Morlocks come to the surface to hunt," she answered.

"But what do they hunt?" I asked. "There are no animals here."

"They hunt the Eloi," she whispered.

We had to find somewhere to hide. As we walked, Weena told me more about the Eloi and the Morlocks. A long time ago, the Eloi were powerful and forced the Morlocks to live underground. The Morlocks worked and the Eloi played. But the Morlocks got used to the dark and began to hate the daylight.

Now the Morlocks had the power, and the Eloi were afraid of them.

Ответ:

In the extract, the Time Traveller befriends a girl named Weena in what seems to be a perfect future world. He soon realises this world is not what it seems when he spots a strange, ape-like creature, a Morlock, vanishing down a well. Despite Weena's pleas for him not to go, the Time Traveller decides to explore the underground world. Down the well, he is touched by a cold hand in the dark. He lights a match and sees three Morlocks who flee from the light. He follows them into a large chamber but gets scared when they begin to move towards him, and he runs back to the surface. Above ground, Weena explains the history of their world: her people, the Eloi, once forced the Morlocks to live and work underground. Now, the roles are reversed; the Morlocks are powerful and hunt the Eloi at night.

В отрывке Путешественник во времени заводит дружбу с девушкой по имени Вина в, казалось бы, идеальном мире будущего. Вскоре он понимает, что этот мир не таков, каким кажется, когда замечает странное, похожее на обезьяну существо, Морлока, исчезающее в колодце. Несмотря на мольбы Вины не делать этого, Путешественник во времени решает исследовать подземный мир. Спустившись в колодец, он чувствует в темноте прикосновение холодной руки. Он зажигает спичку и видит трех Морлоков, которые убегают от света. Он следует за ними в большую камеру, но пугается, когда они начинают двигаться к нему, и убегает обратно на поверхность. Наверху Вина объясняет историю их мира: её народ, Элои, когда-то заставил Морлоков жить и работать под землей. Теперь роли поменялись: Морлоки обрели власть и охотятся на Элоев по ночам.
