我走进酒店经理的办公室，坐了下来。
I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down.
我刚刚丢失了 50 英镑，心里非常沮丧。
I had just lost £50 and I felt very upset.
"我把钱放在房间里了，"我说，"可现在不在那里了。"
'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.'
经理很同情，但他什么也做不了。
The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing.
"最近大家都在丢钱，"他说。
'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said.
他开始抱怨这个邪恶的世界，却被一阵敲门声打断了。
He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door.
一个女孩走了进来，把一个信封放在了他的桌子上。
A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk.
里面装有五十英镑。
It contained £50.
"我是在这位先生的房间外面找到这个的，"她说。
'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said.
"嗯，"我对经理说，"这个世界上还是有诚实的！"
'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'
