2014101018第四单元Translation of Text A不速之客1 奥萨博与福勒所读过的书中关于特工的描述并不相副。
福勒很失望地跟着他一路走过阴暗的法国旅馆的走廊，在那里奥萨博租了一套房间。
那是一个位于六层的小房间，这种环境很难与这样一位传奇人物联系起来。
2 令他失望的是，首先，奥萨博是一个胖子，而且非常胖。
其次是他的口音，尽管他的法语和德语都还说的过去，但他仍然带有二十年前带到巴黎的新英格兰口音。
3 “你一定很失望”，奥萨博气喘吁吁的回过头说。
“别人说我是一个特工，一名间谍，周旋于间谍和危险之间。
你期望能见到我，因为你是一个年轻，浪漫的作家。
你本来以为今天晚上回碰见神秘人物，枪声，放在酒里的迷药。
4 “然而事情并不像你相象的那样，你在一个演奏法国音乐的餐厅同一个胖子度过了一个乏味的夜晚，而并没有黑眼睛的美女给他传递情报，只是打了个普通电话，将在他的房间里与人有个约会。
你一定已经无聊及了。
”胖男人边低声笑着边开门，并且站到一旁让他那位失望的客人进了房间。
5 “你的幻想破灭了，”奥萨博对他说。
“但是我年轻的朋友，振作起来。
一会儿你就会看到一分文件，这份相当重要的文件曾经让好几个人甘冒生命危险，送到我这儿后，我将把它转交给政府部门。
很快这份文件就很影响到历史的进程。
有点戏剧化，不是吗?”他边说，边随后关上了门。
然后打开灯。
6 当灯亮时，福勒这一天中第一次感到真正害怕了。
因为在房间的中间站着一个男人，手里拿着一只小型自动手枪。
7 奥萨博眨眨眼睛楞了一会儿。
8 “马克思”，他喘着气说，“你真让我吃惊，我以为你在柏林呢。
你在我房间里做什么?”9 马克思很单薄，个子不高，脸上的表情回让人想到狐狸。
要不是那支枪，他看上去并不是太危险。
10 “那分报告”，他低声说道。
“今天晚上将送到你手里的那分报告是有关一些新型导弹的。
我想我要把它从你受里拿走，在我手里比在你手里安全。
”11 奥萨博缓慢走到扶手椅，重重地坐在上面。

midnight visitor课文"Midnight Visitor" is a short story written by Robert Arthur. It tells the tale of a young girl named Emily who is visited by a mysterious figure late at night.One stormy night, Emily is awoken by a loud knocking on her bedroom window. She is startled and scared, but curiosity gets the better of her and she decides to investigate. She cautiously opens the window and is surprised to find a man standing outside.The man introduces himself as Mr. Charles and claims to be a distant relative of Emily's family. He explains that he has traveled a long way to visit her and has arrived at such a late hour due to unforeseen circumstances. Emily finds his story strange but lets him in, as he seems harmless.As Mr. Charles enters the room, Emily notices that he appears disheveled and tired. He tells her that he urgently needs her help with a family matter. According to him, there is a hidden treasure that rightfully belongs to their family, and he needs Emily's assistance in finding it.Emily is skeptical but intrigued. Mr. Charles insists that they must leave immediately to search for the treasure. Despite her doubts,Emily agrees to accompany him. They venture out into the stormy night, following Mr. Charles' directions to a nearby forest.Within the forest, Mr. Charles leads Emily to a secluded spot where he believes the treasure is buried. He starts digging frantically, urging Emily to help him. However, Emily's suspicion grows as she notices inconsistencies in his story and behavior.Just as Emily is about to confront Mr. Charles about her doubts, they are interrupted by the sound of approaching police sirens. It turns out that Mr. Charles is a criminal who had been on the run, using his distant family connection to manipulate Emily into aiding him in his escape.Realizing she has been deceived, Emily quickly distances herself from Mr. Charles and helps the police apprehend him. She returns home, feeling shaken but grateful that she trusted her instincts and did not become entangled in his criminal activities."Midnight Visitor" serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of being cautious and not easily trusting strangers, even if they claim to be family. It highlights the need to rely on one's instincts and to prioritize personal safety in uncertain situations.。

因为你没有给到“midnight visitor”的具体内容，所以我将为你提供一篇记叙文，包含记叙文六要素，希望对你有所帮助。
《午夜访客》在那个寂静的午夜，我独自一人坐在窗前，凝望着黑暗中的星空。
突然，一阵轻微的敲门声打破了夜晚的宁静。
我起身走到门口，心中充满了疑惑。
这么晚了，会是谁呢？我打开门，看到一个陌生的身影站在门外。
他身穿黑色的长袍，戴着一顶宽边帽，遮住了大部分的脸。
他轻声说道：“我是一个过路的旅人，迷失了方向，能否在这里借宿一晚？”我有些犹豫，但看到他疲惫的神情，我决定让他进来。
我领着他到客厅，给他倒了一杯热茶。
他坐在沙发上，摘下了帽子，我才看清他的面容。
他是一个年长的男子，脸上布满了皱纹，但眼睛里透着坚定和智慧。
在交谈中，我得知他是一位诗人，正在寻找灵感。
他说：“夜晚是诗人的朋友，它能给予我们灵感和思考的空间。
”我被他的话所打动，也分享了一些自己的梦想和困惑。
我们聊了很久，直到深夜。
他给我讲述了他的诗作，那些美丽的词句让我陶醉其中。
最后，他站起身来，感谢我的款待，并送给我一本他的诗集作为礼物。
当他离开时，我感到自己的内心变得更加充实和坚定。
那个午夜的访客，虽然只是短暂的相遇，但他的到来却在我心中留下了深深的印记。
从那以后，每当我感到迷茫或困惑时，我会翻开那本诗集，重温他的诗作。
他的文字激励着我坚持追求自己的梦想，不畏困难和挫折。
时间已经过去了很久，但我依然记得那个午夜的访客。
他的出现如同夜空中的一颗流星，瞬间划过，但却留下了永恒的光芒。
我想，这就是人生中的那些美好邂逅，它们在我们的生命中短暂停留，却给我们带来了无穷的启示和力量。
