原文

Dan Robinson has been worried all week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police.

But he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore. At the station he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago the policeman told him the bicycle was picked up in a small village 400 miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train.

Dan was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen 20 years ago when Dan was a boy of 15.

译文

丹·罗宾逊整个星期都在担心。上周二他收到了当地警方的一封信。信中要求他去车站打电话。丹想知道为什么他被警察通缉。

但他昨天去了车站,现在他不再担心了。在车站,一名微笑的警察告诉他,他的自行车被发现了。五天前,警察告诉他,这辆自行车是在 400 英里外的一个小村庄里捡到的。现在正通过火车运往他家。

丹听到这个消息时感到非常惊讶。他也觉得好笑,因为他没想到自行车会被发现。 20 年前,当丹还是一个 15 岁的男孩时,它被偷了。
