We got away with the gold, became wealthy men, and made our way over to England without being suspected.

我們安然地把那筆黃金弄到了手，成了大富翁，并來(lái)到了英國(guó)而沒(méi)有受到懷疑。

There I parted from my old pals and determined to settle down to a quiet and respectable life.

在英國(guó)，我和我的老伙計(jì)們分道揚(yáng)鑣，各走各的路，我下決心從此過(guò)安分守己的正當(dāng)生活。

I bought this estate, which chanced to be in the market,

我買(mǎi)了當(dāng)時(shí)正好在標(biāo)價(jià)出售的這份產(chǎn)業(yè)，

and I set myself to do a little good with my money, to make up for the way in which I had earned it.

親自用我的錢(qián)做點(diǎn)好事，這樣來(lái)彌補(bǔ)一下我在大發(fā)橫財(cái)時(shí)的所作所為。

I married, too, and though my wife died young she left me my dear little Alice.

我還結(jié)了婚，雖然我的妻子年紀(jì)輕輕的就逝世了，卻給我留下了親愛(ài)的小艾麗斯。

Even when she was just a baby her wee hand seemed to lead me down the right path as nothing else had ever done.

甚至當(dāng)她還是個(gè)嬰兒的時(shí)候，她的小手就似乎比過(guò)去的任何東西都要更加有效地指引我走上正道。

In a word, I turned over a new leaf and did my best to make up for the past.

總之，我悔過(guò)自新，盡我自己的最大能力來(lái)彌補(bǔ)我過(guò)去的過(guò)失。

All was going well when McCarthy laid his grip upon me.

本來(lái)一切都很順利，但麥卡錫的魔掌一下把我抓住了。

I had gone up to town about an investment,

我當(dāng)時(shí)是到城里去辦一件投資的事，

and I met him in Regent Street with hardly a coat to his back or a boot to his foot.

我在攝政街遇見(jiàn)了他，他當(dāng)時(shí)是衣不蔽體，還光著腳。

'Here we are, Jack,' says he, touching me on the arm; 'we'll be as good as a family to you.

他拉著我的胳膊說(shuō)：'杰克，我們又見(jiàn)面了。我們將和你親如一家人。

There's two of us, me and my son, and you can have the keeping of us.

我們只有父子兩人，你把我們收留下吧。

If you don't -- it's a fine, law-abiding country is England, and there's always a policeman within hail.'

如果你不干...英國(guó)這里可是個(gè)杰出的奉公守法的國(guó)家，只要喊一聲隨時(shí)都可以叫到警察。'
