It was three o'clock.A man was walking down a high street in the north of England.He was wearing a dark suit and carrying a suitcase.His name was Terry and he had lived away from home for twenty years.In fact he was in prison.

Terry was feeling totally depressed because everything in his hometown had changed.The park where he used to play was now a car park.The house where he was born had disappeared and in its place,ironically,was a bank.Terry wanted to have a cup of coffee in the old small restaurant where he used to go with his friends after school,but it had become a fast restaurant.He entered,sat down,and asked for a cup of coffee.Then he felt sadder when he thought of what he had seen.

While paying for the coffee he found an old ticket in his wallet.It was for a pair of shoes he had taken to be repaired the day before bank robbery 20 years ago.The shoe repairer was an old man then,so Terry was sure that he must be dead.But when he turned the corner of the street,he couldn't believe his eyes.The shop was still there!And it was the same shoe repairer!He looked about a hundred years old.Terry was so happy!Terry told him that he had lived in Australia during the past twenty years and that he forgot to pick up the shoes before he left England.The shoe repairer disappeared into the back of the shop.After ten minutes he came back.

“Were they dark brown,Italian shoes,Size 42?”he asked slowly.

“Yes!”said Terry,excitedly.

“I haven't repaired them.”the shoe repairer said slowly.“You can take them tomorrow afternoon.”

参考译文

下午三点,一个男人走在英国北部的一条大街上。他穿着黑色外套,拿着行李箱。他叫特里,离开家乡已经20年了。实际上,这段时间他一直待在监狱里。

特里感到十分沮丧,因为家乡的一切都变了。他过去经常玩耍的公园现在成了停车场。他出生的房子已经消失,具有讽刺意味的是,在房子原来的位置上有了一家银行。特里想去一家老式小饭馆喝杯咖啡,过去他和朋友放学后常去那里,但现在它变成了一家快餐店。他进去坐下,要了一杯咖啡。当他想起所看到的一切时,他更难过了。

付账时,他发现钱包里有一张旧存根。20年前发生银行抢劫案的前一天,他把那双鞋送去修理。当时那位修鞋匠已经很老了,所以特里敢肯定他去世了。但当他转过街角时,他几乎无法相信自己的眼睛。那家店还在!还是那位修鞋匠!他看上去大约有100岁了。特里很高兴!特里告诉他,20年来他一直生活在澳大利亚,在离开英国前,他忘了取那双鞋。鞋匠进了商店的里屋,十分钟后,他回来了。

“是双棕黑色、42码的意大利皮鞋吗?”他慢条斯理地问。

“是的!”特里兴奋地说。

“我还没修,”修鞋匠慢吞吞地说,“明天下午你可以来拿。”
