As I stood at the door guard asked,"Was the old lady able to help you"

在門口的時(shí)候，保安問我:“那位老婦人對(duì)您有什么幫助嗎?”

I told him she had given  a lead"At least I have a last name. But I probably won't pursue it further for a while I explained that I had spent almost the whole day trying to find the wallet's owner.

我說她給了我一些提示“至少，我知道了失主的名字。但近期內(nèi)我可能無法繼續(xù)追查下去了”我跟他說我一整天都在找錢包的主人

While we talked, I pulled out the bruwn-leather case with its red-lanyard lacing and showed it to the guard. I 1e looked at it cluscly and said, "tley, I'd know that anywhere. That's Mr. Goldstein's. He's always losing it. I found it in the hall at least three times"

說話的時(shí)候，我拿出了那個(gè)鑲著紅短花邊的黃皮錢包給保安看他湊到跟前看了一眼說:“晦，我知道這是誰的它是戈?duì)柎奶瓜壬模?jīng)常弄丟我在大廳至少撿到過3次”

"Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I asked. "He's one of the old-timers on the eighth floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet, for sure. He goes out for a walk quite often."

我問道:“戈?duì)柎奶瓜壬钦l?”“他是住在八樓的一位老人。這肯定是邁克爾一戈?duì)柎奶沟腻X包，他經(jīng)常出去散步。”

I thanked the guard and ran back to the director's office to tell him what the guard had said. He accompanied me to the eighth floor. I prayed that Mr. Goldstein would be up.

我謝過保安，回到主任的辦公室，告訴了他保安的話。他陪我來到了八層。我希望戈?duì)柎奶瓜壬€沒有睡覺。

"I think he's still in the day room," the nurse said. "He likes to read at night...a darling old man."

護(hù)士說:“我想他一定還在休息室。他喜歡在晚上讀書……是一位非常可愛的老人。”

We went to the only room that had lights on, and there was a man reading a book. The director asked him "Goodness if he had lost his wallet. Michael Goldstein looked up, felt his back pocket and then said, it is missing."

我們來到還亮著燈的房間，有位老人在那里看書。主任問他是否丟了錢包，邁克爾一戈?duì)柎奶拐伊苏遥朔嘲缓笳f:“天哪!竟然丟了。”

"This kind gentleman found a wallet. Could it be yours?"

“這位好心的先生檢到了一個(gè)錢包。是您的嗎?”

 The second he saw it, he smiled with relief. "Ye afrernoon. I want to give you a reward."

他一看到它便如釋重負(fù)，說道“是的。就是它。一定是今天下午丟的。我要給您報(bào)酬。”

"Oh, no, thank you," I said. "But I have to tell finding out who owned the wallets," he said, "that's it. Must have dropped it this you something. I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet."

我說“不，謝謝。但是我要告訴您一件事情。我讀了里面的信，希望能找到錢包的主人。”

The smile on his face disappeared. "You read that letter'?"

他臉上的笑容頓時(shí)消失了:“你讀過那封信?”

"Not only did I read it. I think 1 know where Hannah is."

“我不僅讀過，而且知道漢娜在哪兒。”

He grew pale. "Hannah'? You know where she is`? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was？”

他頓時(shí)臉色蒼白:“漢娜?你知道漢娜在哪兒?她過得怎么樣?她是否和年輕時(shí)一樣漂亮

I hesitated.

我沒有說話。

"Please tell me!" Michael urged.

邁克爾催促著說:“請(qǐng)告訴我!”

"She's fine,and just  as pretty as when you knew  her."

“她很好，和您認(rèn)識(shí)她時(shí)一樣美麗”

"Could you tell me where she is'? I want to call her tomorrow." He grabbed my hand and said,"You know something'? When that letter came:, my life ended. I never married. I guess I've always loved her."
 

“您能告訴我她在哪兒嗎?我想明天給她打電話”他抓住我的手說:“您一定知道些什么。在我收到信的那一天，我的生活便結(jié)束了。我從未結(jié)婚，我想我一直愛著她”

“Michaelaid. "Come with me’The three of us took the elevator to the third ,We walked toward the day room where Hannahw，as sitting. still watching TV. The director went over to her. "Hannah，”he said softly. "Do you know this man"

我說:“邁克爾，跟我來.”我們?nèi)齻€(gè)人乘電梯來到了只層我們走進(jìn)休息室，發(fā)現(xiàn)漢娜還在看電視主任過去告訴她說:“漢娜，您認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)人嗎?”
 

Michael and I stood waiting in the doorway.

邁克爾和我站在門口等待她的回答。

She adjusted her glasses, looked for a moment, but didn't say a word

她扶一下眼鏡，看了一會(huì)，但是沒有說話

"Hannah, it's Michael. Michael Goldstein. Do you remember'?"

“漢娜，我是邁克爾，邁克爾一戈?duì)柎奶梗悴挥浀昧藛?”

"Michael'? Michael? It's you!"

“邁克爾?邁克爾?真的是你?”

He walked slowly to her side. She stood and they embraced. Then the two of them sat on a couch, held hands and started to talk. The director and  walked out, both of us crying.“See how  the good  Lord works， it will be said philosophically. "If it's meant to be,it will be."

他慢慢走到她的旁邊。他們相互擁抱，然后沙發(fā)雙手緊緊地握在一起，開始交談。主任和我走了出去，我們兩個(gè)人都禁不住流下了眼淚我意味深長地說:“真是天意啊天意如此就該如此.

Three week, later, I got  a  call from the director who asked,"Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding?"He  didn't wait ibr an answer."Yup. Michael and 1-lannah arc booing to tir the knot"
