Scene 9    The men sit down with drinks ,and the time traveller tells his amazing story.

Traveller: The time machine took me 150 years into the future. The word was… is … a very different place. There was two races（种类）of creatures: the Eloi and Morlocks. The Eloi are small, gentle creatures—people who lead peaceful lives. They do not work but play games, eat food, and sleep. They are afraid of dark.

Scientist: And the Morlocks?

Traveller: These are ape—like（似猿的）creatures who live underground. They are afraid of the light. They have machines. They provide the Eloi with everything they need.

Doctor: So the Morlocks are the Eloi’s slaves（奴隶）?

Traveller: Sadly, that is not so. The Eloi are the Morlock’s cattle（牲畜）.The Morlocks feed them and raise took them for food.

Editor: That is awful. How did the Eloi allow this to happen.

Traveller: They became lazy. At first, they allowed the Morlocks to provide them with everything they needed.

Journalist: Then, they slowly lost all their skills.

Traveller: Exactly. As the years passed, they became more and more dependent（依赖的） on the Morlocks. Finally, they could not take care of themselves. Then ,the Morlocks took control them.
