One day, two old brothers,
chatting along, happened to get to wondering what
might be the fate
of
a
perfectly
honest
and
intelligent
stranger
who
should
be
turned
adrift
in
London
without
a
friend,
and with no money but that million-pound bank-
note, and no way to account for his being
in possession of it. The brothers had
been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days
before,
and had ended by agreeing to
decide it by a bet, which is the English way of
settling everything.
Just then Henry
came along.
有一天,
两个老兄弟,
一起聊天,
去想什么可能是一个非常诚实和聪明的陌生人人漂泊在伦
敦没有朋友的命运发生了,并没有钱,但那张百万英镑的钞票,并没有考虑到他拥有它。兄
弟俩有一个很激烈的争论,
几天之前,
他们同
意决定由打赌结束,
这是解决一切英语的方式。
这时亨利来了。
(I was so hungry.)
(我太饿了。

Brother A: Young man, come here,
please.
哥哥:年轻人,来这里,请。
Brother B: Could I ask you some
questions?

Henry: Of course, sir.

A: What
do you do?

Henry: I’m a mining
-broker's
clerk in San Francisco.
亨利:我是三藩的一个挖掘经纪人的书记员。
B: Why are you staying here?
B
:你为什么要待在这里?
Henry: My time was my own after the
afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed
to put it
in on a little sail-boat on
the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was
carried out to sea. Just at
nightfall,
when
hope
was
about
gone,
I
was
picked
up
by
a
small
brig
which
was
bound
for
London.
And now, I have nothing in my pocket.

在星期六,
我习惯于把它放在上湾的一艘小帆船。
有一天,
我太远,和
进行海。刚入夜,当希望是走了,我被一个小牢房是飞往伦敦拿起。现在,我没
有在我的
口袋里。
A: Great!

soon. Here is an envelope.

我磨蹭了一会儿,
估计时间到了,
掏出信封。只扫了一
眼,我
就差点昏倒,
我盯着那张大钞
头晕眼花,想必足足过了一分钟才清醒过来。这时候,首先
映入我眼帘的是小吃店老板。
他的目光粘在大钞上,像五雷轰顶一般。
亨利:稍等一分钟。

I reached the note towards him, and

他心里想看,一个劲地打量那张大票;好像怎么看也
