Do You Know My Work？
Do You Know My Work？
One night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
一天晚上，一家旅馆失火，住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡衣就跑了出来。
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
"Before I came out," said one," I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don‘t think of money when they‘re afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burn sit. So I took all the bills that I could find. No one will be poorer because I took them."
“在我出来之前，”其中一个人说，“我跑进一些房间，找到了一大笔钱。人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的。如果有人把纸币留在火里，火就会把它烧成灰烬。所以我把我所能找到的钞票都拿走了。没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷。”
"You don‘t know my work," said the other.
“你不知道我是干什么的。”另一个人说。
"What is your work？" “你是干什么的？”
"I‘m a policeman."
“我是警察。”
"Oh！" cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, "And do you know my work?"
“噢！”第一个人喊了一声。他灵机一动，说：“那你知道我是干什么的？”
"No," said the policeman.
“不知道。”警察说。”
I‘m a writer. I‘m always tellings to ries about things that never happened."
“我是个作家。我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事。”
