Lesson 34 Quick work 破案“神速”

Ted Robinson has been worried all the week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Ted wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried any more. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Ted was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Ted was a boy of fifteen!

From Robinson's View:

丹.鲁宾逊焦虑了整整一个星期。上星期二他收到当地警察局的一封信，要他到警察局去一趟。丹奇怪警察为什么找他，但昨天还是去了，结果他不再担心了。在警察局里，一位面带笑容的警察告诉他，他的自行车找到了。那位警察对他说，那辆自行车是5天前在400英里外的一个小村里发现的，现在正用火车给他运回家来。丹听到这个消息后，惊奇万分，但又感到非常好笑，因为他从未指望那辆自行车还能找到。这是20年前丹还是一个15岁的孩子时被人偷走的！

I has been worried for a whole week. Last Tuesday, I received a letter from the local police and I was asked to call at the station in the letter. I wondered why I was wanted by the police. I cannot bring anything illegal I had done these years to mind. I went to the station yesterday and now I am not worried any longer. In the station, a smiling policeman told me that my bicycle was found five days ago in a small village four hundred miles away from here and now it is tranported to my home by train. I finally remembered that I lost a bicycle twenty years ago when I was a boy of fifteen after a few minutes of looking back. I was most surprised and amused becaused I never expected it to be found.
