2014101018第九单元Translation of Text A二十年后1正在巡逻的警察精神抖擞的沿着大街走着。

他这样引人注目并不奇怪，并不是为了招摇，因为此时大街上根本没有什么观众。

时间还不到晚上十点钟，但夹带着雨意的冷风几乎清空了整个街道。

2警察边走边检查门是否关好了，他十分灵巧的不停转动着警棍，眼光还不时头像平静的街道，他那魁梧的身材，配上卓越不凡的气势，就是一副治安维持者的形象。

那个地区的人晚上休息的很早。

你偶尔还能看到一家雪茄店或是昼夜营业的饭店还在亮着灯，但是觉得大多数的店铺都已经关门了。

3在一个街区的半路上，警察忽然放慢了脚步。

在一家已经关门的五金店的门廊里，一个男子倚在那里，嘴里叼着一只未点燃的雪茄。

当警察朝他走去时，男人赶忙毫不犹豫的说。

4“没事的，长官。

”5“那家餐馆五年前还在，”警察说道，“后来就被拆除了。

”6门廊里的人划着火柴，点着了烟。

火光映出了一张苍白的，方正下巴的脸，一双尖锐的眼睛，右边眉毛附近还有一道泛白的疤痕。

7“二十年前的这个晚上，”男子说，“我和吉米-威尔斯在大乔布雷迪餐馆共进晚餐，他是我最好的朋友，也是世界上最好的人。

我和他一起在纽约长大，亲如手足。

当年，我18岁，吉米20岁。

第二天早晨，我就要动身去西部赚钱去了。

吉米是无论如何也不会离开纽约的，他认为这是世界上最好的地方。

那天晚上我们定好，就在20年后的同一天，同一时间，我们都要在这里碰面，不管我们的情况如何，也不管我们相隔多远。

我们觉得不管怎么样，20年后的我们命运也应该有一个好结果了，该发财的也已经发财了。

8“挺起来有点意思，”警察说道。

“尽管在我看来，你们俩见面的时间间隔长了点，自从你离开后，你和你的朋友还有联系吗？”9“哦，有的，有一段时间我们相互通信。
