22 Off to Australia

CHAPTER 22 Off to Australia "It was awful, Fagin," Charley wailed. "It was terrible watching Dodger in the prisoner's box." Charley sat at the table with Fagin and Bill. He had spent the day following Dodger through the courts and police station. Dodger had been arrested earlier that day for stealing a pocket watch. "What did the judge say?" Fagin asked. "Come on boy, spit it out!" "Take it easy, old man," Bill growled. "Having boys in the court isn't new. We've

第二十二章去澳大利亚“太可怕了，费金。”查理哭着说。 “看着神偷被关在囚室里真是太可怕了。” 查理和费金、比尔坐在桌旁。 他花了一天的时间跟着道奇穿过法院和警察局。 当天早些时候，道奇因偷了一块怀表而被捕。 “法官怎么说？”教唆犯问道。 “来吧，孩子，快说出来！”“别紧张，老家伙。”比尔咆哮道。 “宫廷里有男孩并不新鲜。 我们已经

all been there before." "This is Dodger, Bill!" Fagin cried. "He's my best and my brightest! If they get Dodger, what else could happen?" "You're too superstitious old man," Bill laughed. "Finish the story, Charley," Fagin pleaded. "Where is Dodger now? What did they give him?" "They're sending him off," Charley said. "They're deporting him to Australia. He's leaving on the next ship out!" "What?" Fagin jumped up from the table. "Dodger is off to Australia! This will never do!" he cried. "This is a disaster!" The door to the room opened and Monks walked in. He sat in the chair between Fagin and Bill. "It's a dark day," Fagin said to Monks. "Our Dodger has been nabbed. We've lost him."

以前都有过这种经历。”“这是神偷，比尔！”教唆犯哭了。 “他是我最优秀、最聪明的孩子！”如果他们抓住了神偷，还会发生什么呢？”“你太迷信了，老家伙，”比尔笑着说。 “把故事讲完，查理。”费金恳求道。 “神偷现在在哪儿？”他们给了他什么？”“他们要把他罚下，”查理说。 “他们要把他驱逐到澳大利亚。 他要乘下一班船离开了！”“什么?”费金从桌子上跳了起来。 “神偷要去澳大利亚了！”这可不行！”他叫道。 “这是一场灾难！”房间的门开了，蒙克斯走了进来。 他坐在费金和比尔之间的椅子上。 “真是黑暗的一天。”费金对蒙克斯说。 “我们的神偷被抓住了。 我们失去他了。”

"This boy should leave," Monks said pointing to Charley. "We need to have a talk." Fagin waved his hand and told Charley to leave the room. When they were alone, Monks leaned in to Bill. "Would you like to hear where your girl Nancy went tonight?" he said. Bill looked at this strange man. "What are you going on about?" he said. "She went off to see Bet." "That's what she said but I happen to know the truth," Monks said. Bill looked at Monks then Fagin. Fagin shrugged his shoulders to say he was just as confused. "She went off to see Brownlow," Monks whispered in Bill's ear. "She told him everything to save that boy." Bill stood up so quickly that he knocked his chair over. "You're a liar!" he yelled.

“这孩子应该离开。”蒙克斯指着查理说。 “我们需要谈一谈。”费金挥挥手，叫查理离开房间。 当他们单独在一起时，蒙克斯靠向比尔。 “你想知道你的姑娘南希今晚去哪儿了吗？”他说。 比尔看着这个奇怪的人。 “你在说什么？”他说。 “她去看贝特了。” “那是她说的，但我碰巧知道真相，”蒙克斯说。 比尔看了看蒙克斯，又看了看费金。 费金耸了耸肩，说他也很困惑。 “她去见布朗罗了。”蒙克斯在比尔耳边低语。 “为了救那个男孩，她把一切都告诉了他。” 比尔站起来很快，把椅子碰翻了。 “你是个骗子！”

"Nancy wouldn't do that. She wouldn't turn against me!" "But she has Bill," Monks said. "I followed her. I know." "Now, Bill," Fagin said. He tried to calm his friend down. "Don't do anything rash." "Don't meddle where you don't belong, old man," Bill hissed. He pushed Fagin up against the wall. "This is my business. I'll take care of it." Bill turned on his heel and stormed toward the door. He knocked over chairs on his way out. Bull's Eye ran after his master. "Bill!" Fagin yelled. He ran to the door and called to Bill down the stairs. "What are you going to do? What are you going to do?!"

“南希不会那样做的。她不会背叛我的！”“但她有比尔，”蒙克斯说。 我跟着她。我知道。”“好了，比尔。”费金说。 他试图使他的朋友平静下来。 “不要鲁莽行事。”“老头，别在你不该管的地方瞎管闲事。”比尔嘶嘶地说。 他把费金推到墙上。 “这是我的事。我来处理。” 比尔转身向门口冲去。 他出去的时候撞翻了椅子。 牛眼追赶他的主人。 “比尔!”教唆犯喊道。他跑到门口，朝楼下的比尔喊。 “你打算怎么办？” 你要做什么？！”
