23 Nancy’s Death

CHAPTER 23 Nancy's Death Bill wandered through the streets. People stepped aside as he passed. No one wanted to get in his way. No one wanted Bill's attention. His face was red with rage. His fists were clenched at his sides. He asked if anyone had seen Nancy. Everyone said no. After an hour or so, Bill found her sitting on a doorstep. She stood up as soon as she saw him. Nancy started to back away. She saw the look in his eyes and she was afraid. "Bill, please," she said. "Why are you looking

第二十三章南希的死亡比尔在街上闲逛。 当他走过时，人们向旁边闪开。 没有人想挡他的路。 没人想引起比尔的注意。 他的脸气得通红。 他的拳头紧握在身体两侧。 他问是否有人见过南希。 每个人都说不。大约过了一个小时，比尔发现她坐在门阶上。 她一看到他就站了起来。 南希开始往后退。 看到他的眼神，她很害怕。 “比尔，求你了，”她说。“你为什么要看？

at me like that?" Bill said nothing as he walked toward her. She backed her way around a corner as Bill followed her. A few moments later a terrible scream was heard. People standing in the street ran toward the sound. They turned the corner to see Bill Sikes running away from Nancy's lifeless body. He called to Bull's Eye over his shoulder. "Come on," he snapped. "Bull's Eye! Come here!" The dog stood still. He stayed beside Nancy's body rather than follow his master. He turned away from Bill and sat down. "Stop, murderer!" a man called. A few people ran after Bill. "Stop!" the man called again. "Someone get the police!" While some of the group stayed with Nancy's body, the rest ran after Bill. Bill was panicked. He ran wildly through the streets. Every door he tried was locked.

就那样看着我？”比尔朝她走去，什么也没说。 比尔跟在她后面，她倒着转过一个拐角。 过了一会儿，听到一声可怕的尖叫。 站在街上的人都朝声音的方向跑去。 他们转过弯，看到比尔·赛克斯从南茜的尸体旁跑开了。 他回过头对着靶心喊。 “来吧。”他厉声说。“靶心!来这里!”狗一动不动地站着。 他留在南希的尸体旁，而不愿跟随他的主人。 他转身离开比尔，坐了下来。 “站住，杀人犯！”一个男人喊道。 有几个人追赶比尔。 “停下！”那人又叫了一声。 “谁去叫警察！”有些人留在南希的尸体旁，其余的人跟着比尔跑。 比尔惊慌失措。他在街上狂奔。 他试过的每一扇门都是锁着的。

Every street and laneway was filled with people. Everyone was calling him a murderer. He heard his name echo through the streets and alleyways. Bill knew he had to hide. He needed money to get out of the city. He had to leave right away .He ran back to Fagin's with the crowd close behind. All of Fagin's boys were back in the room preparing for bed. Bill ran in and grabbed Fagin by the collar. "I need money," Bill said. "Give me money so I can get away!" Fagin spoke calmly. "Bill," he said. "You've got blood on your coat." He stepped slowly away from Bill. "What have you done?" "I've saved us," Bill hissed. "She turned against us. I couldn't let her get away with it." "No, Bill, no." Fagin shook his head. "This is not the way." "Where's Nancy?" Charley called. He

每条大街小巷都挤满了人。 每个人都叫他杀人犯。 他听见他的名字在大街小巷中回响。 比尔知道他必须躲起来。他需要钱出城。 他不得不马上离开。他跑回费金家，人群紧跟着他。 费金的儿子们都回到房间里准备睡觉了。 比尔跑了进来，抓住费金的衣领。 “我需要钱，”比尔说。 “给我钱，我就可以走了！”费金平静地说。 “比尔，”他说。“你的外套上有血。” 他慢慢地从比尔身边走开。 “你做了什么？”“我救了我们。”比尔嘶嘶地说。 “她背叛了我们。我不能让她得逞。” “不，比尔，不。”费金摇了摇头。 “不是这样的。”南希在哪里?”查理。 他

jumped from his bed and faced Bill. "What have you done with Nancy?" Bill turned on the boy. "Don't cross me, Charley," he said. "I'm in a mood tonight." They could hear the crowd approaching. Everyone in the room stopped to listen. "You're a monster," Charley yelled at Bill. "A monster!" Bill took a step toward the boy. "Stay away from me!" Charley said. "All of you." He looked to everyone in the room. "I want nothing to do with any of you." Charley ran out of the building and joined the crowd out front. "He's upstairs," Charley told the policeman. "I can show you the way." Bill knew his time was up. He grabbed some tools from the room, a few things he could sell, and a rope. He ran back into the stairwell and up to the roof. He looked down at the crowd below. Its numbers had grown considerably. There was

他从床上跳起来，面对着比尔。 “你把南希怎么了？”比尔对那个男孩大发雷霆。 “别惹我，查理，”他说。 “我今晚心情不好。”他们能听到人群朝他们走来。 房间里的每个人都停下来倾听。 “你是个怪物，”查理对比尔喊道。 “怪物!”比尔向男孩走了一步。 “离我远点！”查理说。 “你们所有人。”他看了看房间里的每个人。 “我不想和你们任何一个人有任何关系。” 查理跑出大楼，加入了前面的人群。 “他在楼上，”查理告诉警察。 “我可以给你带路。”比尔知道他的时间到了。 他从房间里拿了一些工具，一些可以卖的东西，还有一根绳子。 他跑回楼梯井，上了屋顶。 他低头看了看下面的人群。 它的人数有了很大的增长。 有

no way off the building except to jump to the next roof. He tied his bag of tools over his shoulder. Starting at one end of the roof, he ran toward the other and jumped across toward the next building. Unfortunately, it was too far. He managed to grab a hold of the other side but his fingers slipped. Bill Sikes fell to his death as the crowd below screamed. Meanwhile, Charley lead the police into the building. They caught Fagin on the stairs. He tried to avoid their grasp but they took hold and dragged him outside. Charley stayed right with them. "I'll tell you anything you need," he said to the police. "I've had enough of all these people."

除了跳到下一个屋顶，没办法离开这栋楼。 他把工具袋系在肩上。 他从屋顶的一端开始，跑向另一端，然后跳到下一栋楼。 不幸的是，它太远了。 他设法抓住了另一边，但他的手指滑了下来。 比尔·赛克斯在下面的人群尖叫中摔死了。 与此同时，查理带领警察进入大楼。 他们在楼梯上抓住了费金。 他想躲开他们，但他们抓住了他，把他拖了出去。 查理和他们呆在一起。 “你们需要什么，我会告诉你们的，”他对警察说。 “我受够了这些人。”
