    Do You Know My Work？

    One night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.

    一天晚上，一家旅馆失火，住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡衣就跑了出来。

    Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.

    两个人站在外面，看着大火。

    "Before I came out," said one," I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don\'t think of money when they\'re afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burn sit. So I took all the bills that I could find. No one will be poorer because I took them."

    “在我出来之前，”其中一个人说，“我跑进一些房间，找到了一大笔钱。人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的。如果有人把纸币留在火里，火就会把它烧成灰烬。所以我把我所能找到的钞票都拿走了。没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷。”

    "You don\'t know my work," said the other.

    “你不知道我是干什么的。”另一个人说。

    "What is your work？" “你是干什么的？”

    "I\'m a policeman."

    “我是警察。”

    "Oh！" cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, "And do you know my work?"

    “噢！”第一个人喊了一声。他灵机一动，说：“那你知道我是干什么的？”

    "No," said the policeman.

    “不知道。”警察说。”

    I\'m a writer. I\'m always tellings to ries about things that never happened."

    “我是个作家。我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事。”
