The Phantom of the Opera
The Paris Opera House was a huge building with seventeen floors
of which seven were below the ground.
Underneath the building there was a strange,dark lake.
In the middle of this lake was an island and on that island
one hundred years ago
When he was born he was so ugly that his own mother made him wear a mask
and forced him to leave home while still a child.
Years later he made a secret home for himself inside the Paris Opera House
What a man he was!Strong enough to kill with his hands
and yet he loved music and sang with a wonderful voice.
He used this voice to gain power over Christine
a beautiful young singer at the Opera.
He often sang to herl ate at night from behind a secret wall in her room.
She thought at first that he must be an angel.
The Phantom taught her how to sing
and forced the Opera's two managers to give her better roles in their shows.
At first the managers were certain that he did not exist.
They said he was a joke.
Then one night when the Opera was crowded with people
the huge glass chandelier fell from the roof,injuring a woman.

歌剧魅影
巴黎歌剧院是一个拥有十七层楼的宏伟建筑
其中有七层楼是建在地下的。
在这座建筑的底层是一个奇怪的黑湖。
湖的中央有一个小岛，这个岛上
在一百年前
他生下来就是如此丑陋，以至于他的母亲逼他戴上了面具
在他还是孩子的时候就强迫他不许住在家里。
很多年后，她在巴黎歌剧院里给自己造了一个秘密的家
他是个怎样的人啊！强壮到可以用他的手来杀死任何东西
然而他却酷爱音乐并且拥有一副好嗓音。
他用他的声音来控制克里斯汀
歌剧院里的一个年轻歌手。
他经常在半夜在她房间里一道墙后偷偷的唱歌给她听。
她起初以为他一定是天使。
这个幽灵教她怎样唱歌
并让她逼迫歌剧院里的两位经理在歌剧表演里给她更好的角色演。
起初经理们都很确定他是不存在的。
他们说他只是个笑话。
之后的某一天晚上，当时歌剧院挤满了客人
巨大的玻璃吊灯从房顶掉落，砸伤了一位女士。
