第 34 课 · 破案“神速” Lesson 34 · Quick work

丹·罗宾逊整整一周都一直在担心。

Dan Robinson has been worried all week.

上周二他收到了一封来自当地警方的信。

Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police.

信中要求他去警察局一趟。

In the letter he was asked to call at the station.

丹不知道警方为何要找他,但他昨天还是去了警察局,现在他不再担心了。

Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore.

在警察局,一位面带微笑的警察告诉他,他的自行车已经被找到了。

At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found.

警察告诉他,五天前,那辆自行车在四百英里外的一个小村庄里被人发现了。

Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away.

它现在正通过火车被运送到他家。

It is now being sent to his home by train.

当他听到这个消息时,Dan 感到非常惊讶。

Dan was most surprised when he heard the news.

他也觉得好笑,因为他从来没有想到自行车会被找到。

He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found.

它是在二十年前被偷的,那时 Dan 还是个十五岁的男孩!

It was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!
