講述愛(ài)的力量中英文閱讀
Yes, it was worthwhile investing money in the shoe business, he thought. There wasn’t a shoe-store in the place. The dry-goods and general stores sold them. Business in all lines was fairly good.
他想，不錯(cuò)。投資經(jīng)營(yíng)鞋子是劃得來(lái)的。這地方?jīng)]有鞋店。鞋子只在布店和百貨商店有售。各行各業(yè)的買(mǎi)賣(mài)都相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)。
“I hope, Mr. Spencer, you’ll decide to stay in Elmore. You’ll find it a pleasant town to live in, and the people are very nice,” continued the clerk.
“我希望，斯賓塞先生，你能決定在愛(ài)爾摩居住。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)住在這個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)是非常令人愉快的。這里的`人都很好，”店員繼續(xù)說(shuō)道。 Mr. Spencer said that he would stop in the town for a few days and consider the situation.
斯賓塞先生說(shuō)，他想在這鎮(zhèn)上呆一段時(shí)間，看看情況。
The clerk wanted to call the boy to carry up the suitcase, but Mr. Spencer said that he needn’t do it. He would carry his suitcase himself; it was rather heavy. Mr. Ralph Spencer, the phoenix that arose from Jimmy Valentine’s ashes—ashes left by the flame of a sudden attack of love—remained in Elmore and prospered. He opened a shoe-store and made large profits. In all other respects he was also a success.
店員想叫手下人搬手提箱。斯賓塞先生說(shuō)不需要，他自己會(huì)提。手提箱是相當(dāng)沉的。拉爾夫·斯賓塞先生，這只由基米·范林丁的灰燼中再生的鳳凰——灰燼是由突然襲來(lái)的愛(ài)情之火燃成的——在愛(ài)爾摩定居下來(lái)了，并且取得了成功。他開(kāi)了一家鞋店，獲利甚豐，在其它方面也都一帆風(fēng)順。
He was popular with many important people and had many friends. And he accompanied the wish of his heart. He met Miss Annabel Adams, and fell more and more deeply in love with her.
他在眾多重要人物中名聲鵲起，也結(jié)交了不少朋友。他在努力實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的心愿。他和安娜貝爾·亞當(dāng)斯小姐相識(shí)，而且越來(lái)越深地墜入了情網(wǎng)。
愛(ài)的力量
guard came to the prison shoe shop where Jimmy Valentine was working and took him to the prison office. There the warden handed Jimmy his pardon, which had been signed that morning by the governor. He took it quietly; he was too tired to show excitement. He had been in prison nearly ten months and he had been sentenced to four years. True, he had expected to stay only about three months, at the longest. He had a lot of friends and he had been sure they would help him.
看守來(lái)到基米·范林丁正在干活的監(jiān)獄制鞋間，將他帶到監(jiān)獄辦公室。到了那里，監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)將一張赦免書(shū)遞給基米，這是今天早上州長(zhǎng)簽署的。基米默默地接過(guò)去，對(duì)此他沒(méi)有流露出任何的激動(dòng)。他早已膩煩，他在獄中呆了將近10個(gè)月，而判他的是4年徒刑。說(shuō)真的，他本來(lái)打算最多呆3個(gè)月的。他有好多朋友，他相信他們一定會(huì)為他想辦法的。
“Now, Valentine,” said the warden, “You’ll go out in the morning. Make a man of yourself. You’re not a bad fellow really. Stop breaking open safes and be honest.”
“范林丁，”監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)說(shuō)，“明天早上你就可以出獄了，要活出個(gè)人樣來(lái)。其實(shí)你這人并不壞。再不要撬保險(xiǎn)柜了。做一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的人。”
“Me?” said Jimmy, in surprise. “Why, I’ve never broken open a safe in my life.”
“我？”基米吃驚地說(shuō)，“你說(shuō)什么？我可從來(lái)沒(méi)有撬過(guò)保險(xiǎn)柜呀。”
“Oh, no,” laughed the warden. “Of course not. And what about that Springfield job? Do you mean to say you didn’t take part in it?”
“啊，沒(méi)有，”監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)笑道，“當(dāng)然沒(méi)有。可是，春田事件該怎么說(shuō)呢？你是說(shuō)你沒(méi)有參與那件事嗎？”
“Me?” said Jimmy still more surprised. “Why, warden, I’ve never been to Springfield in my life!”
“我？”基米更吃驚了。“怎么，監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)，我可從來(lái)沒(méi)有去過(guò)春田呀！”
“Take him back,” the warden said to the guard smiling, “and give him some clothes. Unlock him at seven in the morning and let him come to me. Better think over my advice, Valentine.”
“把他帶回去，”監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)對(duì)看守笑道，“給他一些衣服，明天早上7點(diǎn)給他開(kāi)鎖后讓他到我這里來(lái)。最好還是把我的勸告想一下，范林丁。”
At a quarter past seven the next morning Jimmy stood in the warden’s office. He wore a badly-fitting ready-made suit and the cheap shoes that the state gives to prisoners, when they are set free. The clerk handed him a railroad ticket and the five-dollar bill with which he was supposed to start a new, honest life. The warden gave him a cigar, and they shook hands. Valentine, 9762, was registered on the books “Pardoned by Governor,” and Mr. James Valentine walked out into the sunshine.
第二天早上7點(diǎn)15分，基米站在了監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)的辦公室。他穿著一套很不合身的現(xiàn)成衣服和一雙廉價(jià)的鞋子。這些是在釋放犯人時(shí)發(fā)給他們的。一名職員遞給他一張火車(chē)票和5美元。拿著這些錢(qián)，從此就可以開(kāi)始誠(chéng)實(shí)的新的人生了。監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)遞給他一支雪茄。他們握了握手。范林丁，9762號(hào)，已經(jīng)登記在“州長(zhǎng)赦免冊(cè)”中。于是，詹姆斯·范林了便走到了陽(yáng)光下。
