15 Captured!

CHAPTER 15 Captured! Oliver strolled happily down the street. He said hello to everyone he passed. He stopped to sniff flowers and look in store windows. "It's such a lovely day," Oliver thought to himself. It was hard to believe that he left the workhouse a few months before. As Oliver walked through the busy marketplace, he heard someone call his name. "Why if it isn't Oliver!" It took the boy several seconds to recognize Nancy. He did not expect to see her in that part of the city.

第十五章被俘！奥利弗愉快地沿街散步。 他向每一个路过的人问好。 他停下来闻闻花香，看看商店的橱窗。 “今天天气真好，”奥利弗心里想。 很难相信他几个月前就离开了济贫院。 当奥利弗穿过繁忙的市场时，他听到有人叫他的名字。 “如果不是奥利弗呢！”男孩花了几秒钟才认出南希。 他没有想到会在城市的那个地区见到她。

She crossed the street to give him a hug. "It's so good to see you!" she exclaimed. "Wherever have you been?" Oliver was glad to see Nancy, too. She had always been so kind to him. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "It's funny seeing you in this neighborhood." Nancy looked over her shoulder. She signaled to someone across the street. She turned back to Oliver with a grin, but she did not look happy. Oliver wondered if anything was wrong. "I was just passing by and happened to see you," she said. "I sometimes do business in this part of town, you know." Nancy took Oliver's hand. "Why don't we stop for a cup of tea and catch up? I'd love to hear your news." "I'm sorry, Nancy," Oliver said. "I can't do that right now. I have to run an errand for

她穿过马路给了他一个拥抱。 “见到你真是太好了！” “你上哪儿去了？”奥利弗见到南希也很高兴。 她一直对他很好。 “你在这里干什么？”他问。 “在这附近见到你真有趣。” 南希回头看了看。 她向街对面的人打手势。 她咧嘴一笑，转身对着奥利弗，但看上去并不高兴。 奥利弗不知道是不是出了什么事。 “我只是路过，碰巧看到了你，”她说。 “你知道，我有时在城里这一带做生意。” 南希握住奥利弗的手。“我们为什么不停下来喝杯茶，叙叙旧呢？” 我很想听听你的消息。” “对不起，南希，”奥利弗说。 “我现在做不到。 我得去办点事

Mr. Brownlow." The young boy sounded very serious. "I won't keep you long." Nancy laughed nervously. She looked over her shoulder again. "Why don't we walk together for a while then." She held Oliver's hand and led him across the street. Oliver started to tell Nancy all about Mr. Brownlow. He described the beautiful house and his warm bed. Nancy listened quietly. Oliver did not notice how pale she was or that her hands trembled. "I know a shortcut," said Nancy. She led him down an alleyway. Bill Sikes was standing in the shadows waiting for them. Bill grabbed Oliver. He put his hand over the boy's mouth so Oliver could not scream. Oliver struggled to free himself, but the man was far too strong. A wagon was waiting for them. Bill got in the back with Oliver and

Brownlow先生。”这个小男孩听起来很严肃。 “我不会耽搁你太久的。”南希紧张地笑了。 她又回头看了看。 “那我们为什么不一起走一会儿呢？” 她拉着奥利弗的手，领他过马路。 奥利弗开始向南希讲述布朗罗先生的一切。 他描述了美丽的房子和温暖的床。 南希静静地听着。奥利弗没有注意到她脸色多么苍白，双手也在颤抖。 “我知道一条近路，”南希说。 她领着他穿过一条小巷。 比尔·赛克斯正站在暗处等着他们。 比尔抓住奥利弗。他用手捂住男孩的嘴，这样奥利弗就不能尖叫了。 奥利弗挣扎着想挣脱，但那人太强壮了。 一辆马车正等着他们。 比尔和奥利弗在后面，然后

hid beneath some blankets. Nancy sat up front with Dodger. Bill gave the signal and Dodger urged the horses to move. The wagon made its way back to Fagin's place with Bull's Eye running behind. Oliver had no idea what might happen to him. He worried that he might be hurt. He worried that he would get in trouble with the police. Most of all, though, he worried that Mr. Brownlow might think he ran off with the money. Oliver's eyes teared up at the thought of disappointing Mr. Brownlow.

藏在毯子下面。 南希和道奇坐在前面。 比尔打了个手势，机灵鬼催促马赶快走。 马车回到费金的住处，牛眼跟在后面。 奥利弗不知道会发生什么事。 他担心自己会受伤。 他担心警察会找他麻烦。 但最重要的是，他担心布朗罗先生会认为他带着钱跑了。 奥利弗一想到会使布朗罗先生失望，就热泪盈眶。
