"Shylock!" yelled Antonio. "Are you going to lend us the money or not? Answer me!"

 Shylock answered him slowly. "Do you remember all of those times that you insulted(侮辱) me in a loud voice that everyone could hear? You even called me a dog. And now you want to borrow money from me, a dog!"

"Look! I'm not asking you a favour. You can charge me any interest(利息) you want. I don't mind. My ships will arrive any day now."

"Alright, Antonio. I'm willing to lend you the money. I won't even charge you any interest. Just pay me back on time."

 Antonio couldn't believe his ears. ""

"I said you didn't know me. I will help you. I won't even charge you a single ducat(达克特, 以前欧洲的一种钱币). However, there is something I'm worried about. What if you don't pay me back?"

"Don't worry, Shylock. I' ll pay you back."

"Well, I need some kind of a guarantee, don't I? Three thousand ducats is a lot of money. If you don't pay me back on time, I want a pound of flesh(肉). I' ll take a pound of flesh from any part of your body."

 Antonio didn't like what Shylock said. "No. I'd rather pay some interest if I'm late on the payment."

"I'm afraid that's no good," said Shylock as he laughed. "Do you think I'd take money from another moneylender? Besides, this agreement is only a joke! Do you think that any lawyer or judge would believe me? Would they really believe that I want a pound of your flesh? You don't have to worry about anything!"

 Antonio agreed to the conditions. They went to a lawyer and signed an agreement.

    He uses his stage name, Rain, when he works as a singer and dancer. His real name is JungJi-hoon and he is also a f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} actor.

    He showed his interest in dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade. As a teenager, he was part of the boy band (乐队) group c{#blank#}2{#/blank#} "fan club". Years later, Park Jin-young (Korean singer) took Rain under his wing and trained him for years in dancing and singing. During those training years Rain was not at home much and didn't have enough money, so at times he had to train w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} meals.

    Finally in 2002 the song Bad Guy made him famous. Following the s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the first album (专辑), he came back with a new set of music in his 2nd album. In 2004, he acted in a successful play called Full House which was welcomed in other Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan. His performance in Full House has won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards. It is hard to describe his dancing with simple words b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} it is a mixture of so many different elements. He has created a whole new style of his own. In Beijing he won the Best Korean Singer Award. Since his success in 2002, the 26-year-old boy has become one of the most popular Korean artists in Asia.

Singer Park Jin-young once said to his friends, "I was always wondering whether Rain understood w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} I said because he never said anything when I scolded (责备) him. One day I entered his room, and was surprised to discover a wall covered with notes. Every note was filled with my words and advice. " Rain had written down every single piece of a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} his older friend had given him and he had been doing his best to correct his mistakes and improve his skills.

I stood by the window, looking at the gray sky and snowy ground. A woman crossed the street, with a thick scarf, looking cold and unhappy.

The morning was ideal for reading, so I turned on the light and lay in bed with a book. The phone rang, and I heard my mum agree to something, mentioning my name. Curious, I wondered what was happening.

Mum entered and told me Uncle Sam was taking me to Sparrow Hills. Unwilling to leave on such a cold day, I hesitated(犹豫) but didn't want to disappoint Mum, so I put on my blue sweater. The doorbell rang, and Uncle Sam asked if I was ready.

"I suppose," I replied, grabbing a warm wool hat. We headed to the station, catching the train to Sparrow Hills. The train was warm, and my body started to relax.

" Can we just stay on the train?" I said as the train stopped. Uncle Sam softly pulled me up and said," You will miss all the fun."

Outside, the wind was blowing strongly. The trees were shining and they s wung in the wind.

"I don't know how long I can stay out here," I said as we started to walk uphill. He pulled me closer to the trees and said," Listen!"

At first, I heard only the wind. Then came a jingling and chiming(叮叮当当)." That's the music in winter," my uncle said. I pulled my hat up to free my ears. The branches(树枝) sounded like hundreds of bells ringing, jingling and chiming. I was surprised and I stood still, looking at the icy branches hitting each other and leaves swinging in the wind. Then we climbed to the top of Sparrow Hills and looked down. The snow- covered trees made buildings appear brighter. Then the sun broke through the clouds.

" The sun is shining!" I shouted. Uncle Sam smiled and said," The sun is always shining. You just need to climb high enough to see it."
