As I stood at the door guard asked,"Was the old lady able to help you"
在门口的时候，保安问我:“那位老妇人对您有什么帮助吗?”
I told him she had given a lead"At least I have a last name. But I probably won't pursue it further for a while I explained that I had spent almost the whole day trying to find the wallet's owner.
我说她给了我一些提示“至少，我知道了失主的名字。但近期内我可能无法继续追查下去了”我跟他说我一整天都在找钱包的主人
While we talked, I pulled out the bruwn-leather case with its red-lanyard lacing and showed it to the guard. I 1e looked at it cluscly and said, "tley, I'd know that anywhere. That's Mr. Goldstein's. He's always losing it. I found it in the hall at least three times"
说话的时候，我拿出了那个镶着红短花边的黄皮钱包给保安看他凑到跟前看了一眼说:“晦，我知道这是谁的它是戈尔茨坦先生的，他经常弄丢我在大厅至少捡到过3次”
"Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I asked. "He's one of the old-timers on the eighth floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet, for sure. He goes out for a walk quite often."
我问道:“戈尔茨坦先生是谁?”“他是住在八楼的一位老人。这肯定是迈克尔一戈尔茨坦的钱包，他经常出去散步。”
I thanked the guard and ran back to the director's office to tell him what the guard had said. He accompanied me to the eighth floor. I prayed that Mr. Goldstein would be up.
我谢过保安，回到主任的办公室，告诉了他保安的话。他陪我来到了八层。我希望戈尔茨坦先生还没有睡觉。
"I think he's still in the day room," the nurse said. "He likes to read at night...a darling old man."
护士说:“我想他一定还在休息室。他喜欢在晚上读书……是一位非常可爱的老人。”
We went to the only room that had lights on, and there was a man reading a book. The director asked him "Goodness if he had lost his wallet. Michael Goldstein looked up, felt his back pocket and then said, it is missing."
我们来到还亮着灯的房间，有位老人在那里看书。主任问他是否丢了钱包，迈克尔一戈尔茨坦找了找，翻了翻背包，然后说:“天哪!竟然丢了。”
"This kind gentleman found a wallet. Could it be yours?"
“这位好心的先生检到了一个钱包。是您的吗?”
The second he saw it, he smiled with relief. "Ye afrernoon. I want to give you a reward."
他一看到它便如释重负，说道“是的。就是它。一定是今天下午丢的。我要给您报酬。”
"Oh, no, thank you," I said. "But I have to tell finding out who owned the wallets," he said, "that's it. Must have dropped it this you something. I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet."
我说“不，谢谢。但是我要告诉您一件事情。我读了里面的信，希望能找到钱包的主人。”
The smile on his face disappeared. "You read that letter'?"
他脸上的笑容顿时消失了:“你读过那封信?”
"Not only did I read it. I think 1 know where Hannah is."
“我不仅读过，而且知道汉娜在哪儿。”
He grew pale. "Hannah'? You know where she is`? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was？”
他顿时脸色苍白:“汉娜?你知道汉娜在哪儿?她过得怎么样?她是否和年轻时一样漂亮

我没有说话。

迈克尔催促着说:“请告诉我!”
"She's fine,and just as pretty as when you knew her."
“她很好，和您认识她时一样美丽”
"Could you tell me where she is'? I want to call her tomorrow." He grabbed my hand and said,"You know something'? When that letter came:, my life ended. I never married. I guess I've always loved her."
“您能告诉我她在哪儿吗?我想明天给她打电话”他抓住我的手说:“您一定知道些什么。在我收到信的那一天，我的生活便结束了。我从未结婚，我想我一直爱着她”
