1. It was late at night in England during the Industrial Revolution. At
this time, most English towns needed people to work in the factories
that were beginning to open all over the country. Many people came to
the towns to find work, but they were often so poor that they could not
buy enough to eat and they had nowhere to sleep. So they went to the
workhouses where at least they had a bed and some sort of food.
‫ في ذلك الوقت كانت معظم المدن اإلنجليزية‬.‫ كان الوقت متأخرا ليال في إنجلترا أثناء الثورة الصناعية‬
‫ أتى الكثير من الناس‬.‫تحتاج إلى أشخاص لكي يعملوا في المصانع التي بدأت تفتح في كل أنحاء القطر‬
‫ ولكنهم كانوا غالبا فقراء جدا لدرجة أنه لم يكن باستطاعتهم شراء ما يكفيهم‬,‫إلى المدن لكي يجدوا عمال‬
‫ لذلك كانوا يذهبون إلى المالجئ حيث كانوا يجدون على األقل‬.‫للطعام ولم يكن لديهم أي مكان للنوم‬
.‫سريرا ونوعا من الطعام‬
2. In one such workhouse, an old nurse and a doctor were working in a
small, dark room looking at a baby boy that had just been born. The
baby found it difficult to breathe. They did not know if he would live.
"What's the mother's name?" the doctor asked the nurse. "I don't
know. She arrived at the workhouse last night," said the nurse. "She
was ill and weak when she came."
‫ في أحد هذه المالجئ كانت ممرضة عجوز وطبيبًا يعمالن في حجرة صغيرة مظلمة ينظران إلى َو لد‬
‫ سأل‬.‫ ولم يعرفا إذا كان الطفل سيعيش‬.‫ كان الطفل يجد صعوبة في التنفس‬.‫رضيع كان قد ُو لد للتو‬
‫ هي وصلت إلى الملجأ الليلة‬.‫ "ال أعرف‬,‫ "ما اسم والدة الطفل؟" فقالت الممرضة‬,‫الطبيب الممرضة‬
".‫ كانت مريضة وواهنة عندما وصلت‬.‫الماضية‬
3. When the baby cried, the mother said weakly, "Can I see my new
baby?" The nurse picked up the tiny boy and the mother saw him for
the first time. She kissed him gently on the cheek and smiled. Then the
mother died. "Poor woman," said the nurse. "She was so beautiful. We'll
never know who she was."
‫ "هل يمكنني أن أرى طفلي الجديد؟" َر فعت الممرضة الطفل الصغير‬,‫ عندما بكى الطفل قالت األم بَو هن‬
‫ "يا لها من امرأة‬,‫ قالت الممرضة‬.‫ ثم ماتت األم‬.‫ قامت بتقبيله برفق على خّد ه وابتسمت‬.‫ورأته األم للمرة األولى‬
".‫ نحن لن نعرف أبدا من هي‬.‫ إنها جميلة جدا‬,‫مسكينة‬
4. The baby was called Oliver Twist. He was sent to live with other
orphans in an old house nearby. The orphans were all the children of
parents who had been destitute. A woman called Mrs Mann was given a
little money to look after the orphans, but she decided that she needed
some of this money for herself. For this reason, the boys never had
very much to eat.
Oliver Twist 2 Chapter 1
‫ كان‬.‫ وتم إرساله ليعيش مع األيتام اآلخرين في بيت قديم مجاور‬.‫ تم اطالق اسم أوليفر تويست على الطفل‬
‫ تم إعطاء القليل من المال إلى امرأة ُتدعى السيدة مان لكي ترعى‬.‫األيتام جميعا أطفاال ألباء شديدي الفقر‬
‫ ولهذا السبب لم يجد األوالد أبدا‬.‫ ولكنها قررت أنها تحتاج إلى بعض من هذا المال لنفسها‬.‫هؤالء األيتام‬
.‫الكثير ليأكلوه‬
5. On his ninth birthday, Oliver was a small, weak child. He had spent all
his life in the old building with Mrs Mann, who was no kinder to Oliver
than she was to the other orphans. Oliver did not go to school and he
did not know the world outside.
‫ كان قد قضى حياته كلها في المبنى القديم مع السيدة‬.‫ كان أوليفر طفال نحيال ضعيفا‬,‫ في عيد ميالده التاسع‬
‫ لم يذهب أوليفر إلى المدرسة ولم يكن يعرف‬.‫مان التي لم تكن أكثر شفقة على أوليفر من األيتام اآلخرين‬
.‫العالم خارج المبنى‬
6. One day, an important man called Mr Bumble visited Mrs Mann. Mr
Bumble was an official from the workhouse, where the older children
from poor families were big enough to work for their food. " Now
Oliver's nine, you don't need to look after him," Mr Bumble told Mrs
Mann. "He is old enough to work for us in the workhouse. "
‫ كان السيد بمبل أحد المسئولين في الملجأ حيث‬.‫ زار رجل مهم ُيدعى السيد بمبل السيدة مان‬,‫ في أحد األيام‬
.‫يوجد األطفال األكبر سنا من األسر الفقيرة الذين كانوا كبارا بما يكفي لكي يعملوا مقابل الحصول على طعامهم‬
‫ إنه كبير بما‬.‫ ال توجد ضرورة ألن تقوموا برعايته‬.‫ "اآلن أوليفر في التاسعة من عمره‬,‫قال السيد بمبل للسيدة مان‬
".‫يكفي لكي يعمل عندنا في الملجأ‬
7. Oliver was not sad to leave Mrs Mann, but he was sad to leave his
friends and the only home he had ever known. He felt wretched as the
door to the house was closed behind him. "Why are you crying? You're
very lucky to work here," the managers of the workhouse told Oliver
when he arrived. "We'll give you food and a bed for nothing."
‫ شعر‬.‫ ولكنه كان حزينا لتركه أصدقائه والمنزل الوحيد الذي كان يعرفه‬,‫ لم يكن أوليفر حزينا لترك السيدة مان‬
‫ "لماذا تبكي؟ إنك محظوظ‬,‫ قال له مديرو الملجأ عندما وصل‬.‫أوليفر بالتعاسة عندما تم إغالق باب المنزل خلفه‬
".‫ سنعطيك طعاما وسريرا بدون مقابل‬.‫جدا ألنك ستعمل هنا‬
8. The workhouse was a large, cold building. Oliver was introduced to
the other boys who were all thin and weak as he was. They wore old
clothes that were too big for them. Oliver worked hard at the
workhouse with these boys and quickly realised that his life was not
going to become any easier. His bed was uncomfortable and the food
was never enough. All they ate was a thin soup. The boys he worked
with were always hungry.
Oliver Twist 3 Chapter 1
 ‫ تعّرف أوليفر على األوالد األخرين الذين كانوا يتسمون جميعا بالنحافة‬.‫ كان الملجأ مبًنى كبيرا وباردا‬
‫ عمل أوليفر بمشقة في‬.‫ كانوا يرتدون مالبس قديمة والتي كانت واسعة جدا بالنسبة لهم‬.‫والضعف مثله‬
‫ كان سريره غير‬.‫الملجأ مع هؤالء األوالد وأدرك سريعا أن حياته لن تصبح أسهل بأي حال من األحوال‬
‫ كان األوالد الذين‬.‫ كل ما كانوا يأكلونه هو حساء مائي رقيق القوام‬.‫مريح ولم يكن الطعام كافيا مطلقا‬
.‫يعمل معهم دائما جائعون‬
9. After a few months, they were all so close to starving that they
made a plan. They decided they must have more food, and they chose
Oliver to ask for it. That evening in the big, cold hall, the boys finished
eating their usual thin soup. Then Oliver stood up and walked to the
master who gave them their food. "Please, sir, I want more food," said
Oliver. The master was furious. No one had ever asked for more
before. "What did you say?" he cried. There was now silence in the big
room. "Please, sir, I want some more," Oliver repeated.
‫ قرروا أنهم البد أن‬.‫ كان األوالد جميعا على حافة الموت جوعا لدرجة أنهم وضعوا خطة‬,‫ بعد شهور قليلة‬
‫ انتهى‬,‫ في ذلك المساء في القاعة الكبيرة الباردة‬.‫ واختاروا أوليفر ليطلب ذلك‬,‫يحصلوا على المزيد من الطعام‬
‫ ثم نهض أوليفر وسار حتى وصل إلى المدير الذي أعطاهم طعامهم وقال‬.‫األوالد من تناول حسائهم المائي المعتاد‬
,‫ لم يسبق ألحد أن طلب المزيد من قبل‬.‫" اشتاط المدير غضبا‬.‫ أريد المزيد من الطعام‬,‫ "أرجوك يا سيدي‬,‫له‬
‫ أريد‬,‫ "أرجوك يا سيدي‬,‫ وكرر أوليفر طلبه‬,‫ "ماذا قلت؟" كان هناك صمت في الحجرة الكبيرة األن‬,‫فصرخ قائال‬
".‫بعضا آخر‬
10. The master angrily took Oliver's arm and immediately led him to
the managers of the workhouse. He told them what Oliver had said. " If
he is not happy with our generosity," the managers said, "he must
leave." They decided to lock Oliver in a room and put a message on the
door of the workhouse. It said that the workhouse would give five
pounds to anyone who could take the boy away from them.
‫ قال‬.‫ أمسك المدير ذراع أوليفر بغضب وقاده على الفور إلى مدراء الملجأ وأخبرهم بما قاله أوليفر‬
‫ ووضعوا رسالة‬,‫" وقرروا أن يحبسوا أوليفر في غرفة‬.‫ فعليه أن يرحل‬,‫ "إذا لم يكن سعيدا بكرمنا‬,‫المدراء‬
.‫على باب الملجأ تقول أن الملجأ سيعطي خمسة جنيهات ألي شخص سيأخذ الولد بعيدا عنهم‬
11. For weeks, Oliver stayed in the cold, dark room. He cried himself to
sleep each night, then woke up each morning and began to cry again. He
had never felt so alone. He was only taken from the room when it was
time to eat. Mr Bumble did not want any of the other boys to ask for
more food, so while they were eating, Mr Bumble made Oliver stand in
front of them. Then he beat Oliver. This happened every day until a
man called Sowerberry read the message on the workhouse gate.

‫‪13. Mr Bumble was not interested in Oliver's feelings. They continued‬‬

16. One day, after work, the two boys were alone in the shop. " What
happened to your mother, Workhouse Boy?" said Noah. Oliver said
quietly, "The nurse said she died of a broken heart."
"I heard she died in the workhouse because she was no good at
anything," laughed Noah.
"What did you say?" cried Oliver, feeling both ashamed and angry.
"I heard that if she hadn't died, they would have punished her ," Noah
cried unkindly. Oliver stood up and started to hit Noah hard.
"Help!" shouted Noah. "He's killing me!" Mr and Mrs Sowerberry ran in
and pulled Oliver away from Noah.
"‫ "ما الذي حدث ألمك يا صبي الملجأ؟‬,‫ قال نوح‬.‫ كان الولدان بمفردهما في الدكان‬,‫ بعد العمل‬,‫ ذات يوم‬
‫ "أنا سمعت‬,‫" فقال نوح ضاحكا‬.‫ "الممرضة قالت أنها ماتت بسبب انفطار قلبها حزنا‬,‫فقال أوليفر بهدوء‬

17. "Help me lock him in here," they said to Noah. They pulled Oliver
into a dark cellar and locked the door.
"You poor boy," Mrs Sowerberry said to Noah. "We must get Mr Bumble
at once." When Mr Bumble heard what had happened, he hurried to Mr
Sowerberry's house and knocked on the door to the cellar. " Oliver, do
you know who's speaking?" he called loudly.
"Yes," said Oliver. "Aren't you afraid, Oliver?" he continued in a
menacing voice. "No!" Mr Bumble looked at Mr Sowerberry in surprise.
"I understand the problem," said Mr Bumble. "You've given him too
much meat, Mrs Sowerberry. You've been too kind to him. Leave him in
this cellar without food for a few days, then feed him only soup ," he advised.

Oliver Twist 7 Chapter 1

18. That night, in the cold cellar, Oliver tried to cry himself to sleep
yet again. But he felt too angry to sleep. When the house was quiet, he
went to the door and realised it was not locked. He waited until it was
just light and quietly opened the door. No one was awake and it was
easy to leave the house without anyone realising. He knew he could not
stay in that place any longer. His life was unbearable. It was time for
him to run away.
