He turned quickly, and looked into the broad face of a policeman. 他猛地一转身,正对上一张警察宽阔的大脸。

"What are you doing here?" “你在这儿干嘛呢?”

asked the officer. 警察问道。

"Nothing," said Soapy. “没干嘛,”苏比说。

"Then come along," said the policeman. “那就跟我走一趟吧,”警察说。

Soapy was too stunned to argue. 苏比整个人都懵了,连辩解都忘了。

All evening, he had begged the law to notice him. 一整晚,他都在求着法律能注意到他。

It had thrown him out of a fancy restaurant, 可法律先是任由高级餐厅把他轰了出来,

ignored him at a broken window, 在他砸了橱窗后对他视而不见,

left him to the waiters, mistaken him for a college boy, 任由服务员收拾他,还把他误当成了胡闹的大学生,

and let a thief walk off with an umbrella. 甚至任由一个小偷拿着伞大摇大摆地走掉。

And now, on the very night he had decided to become a better man, 可偏偏在今晚,就在他下定决心重新做人的这一夜,

the law had finally found him. 法律终于找上门来了。

Life rarely gives us what we want when we want it. 生活很少会在我们想要的时候,如我们所愿。

Sometimes, it waits until the moment we've stopped wanting it. 有时候,它偏要等到我们彻底不想要了,才会降临。

The next morning, in the police court, the judge barely looked up. 第二天早上,在治安法庭上,法官眼皮都没怎么抬。

"Three months on the Island," he said. “去岛上关三个月,”他说。
