《黑骏马》第10章 在伦敦拉出租马车（4）（在线收听）

Larrys cab was standing next to ours．He opened the door and said，I'm your man，gentlemen！

拉利的车就在我们旁边，他打开门说：我为你们效劳，先生们！

My horse will get you there all right．And as he shut them in，with a smile at Jerry，he said，He always refuses to go faster than a trot！

我的马能保证把你们按时送到。拉利把他们送进车，关门时，笑着看着杰利说：他总是不愿意比小跑更快一点！

Then，whipping his horse hard，he went off as fast as he could．

然后，他狠命抽打着他的马，飞快地跑走了。

Jerry patted me on the neck．Extra money wont pay for that kind of thing，will it，Jack？he said．

杰利拍着我的脖子说：多付钱也买不来那种事，对吗，杰克？

Although he was against hard driving to please careless peo－ple，he always went at a fair speed and was not against going faster if there was a good reason．

虽然他反对死命狂奔以取悦那些粗心大意的人，而总是按正常速度行驶，但是遇上理由正当时，他也不反对赶时间。

I remember one morning we were on the stand waiting for a passenger when a young man carrying a large suitcase went by．

我记得一天早上，我们正站在车站等旅客，一个小伙子拎着一只大箱子从旁边走过。

He stepped on a piece of apple which lay in the road，and fell down heavily．Jerry ran across the road and helped him up，then took him into a shop to sit him down．

他踩在了路上的一片苹果上，重重地摔倒了。杰利跑过去帮助他站起来，然后扶他到一家店铺里坐下。

Some time later，the young man，looking white and ill，came out again and called Jerry，so we went across the road．

过了一会儿，那小伙子苍白、病弱地走出店铺叫杰利，我们走了过去。
