I woke up late the next morning. The sun was already high. I did not walk to the main road and catch a bus. All the buses go to Darpur early in the morning. 第二天早上我起晚了。太阳已经很高了。我没有走到大路上去赶公共汽车。所有的公共汽车早上都很早就去达普尔了。
So I stayed at home on Wednesday. I was still very very tired. I rested and talked to the villagers about the money order. I told them about the Identity Card and the photographer. 所以我星期三待在家里。我还是非常非常累。我休息了一下,和村民们谈了谈汇款单的事。我告诉他们关于身份证和摄影师的事。
The school teacher said, “Yes, the official is correct. In a Post Office, you always show your Identity Card.” The school teacher filled in my application from for an Identity Card. 学校老师说:“是的,官员是正确的。在邮局,你总是要出示你的身份证。”学校老师帮我填写了身份证申请表。
On Thursday I travelled to Darpur again. I walked to the main road and I caught a bus. In Darpur , I walked to the house of the photographer. 周四,我再次前往达普尔。我走到主路上,搭上了一辆公共汽车。在达普尔,我走到摄影师的房子。
I knocked on the door of the house. No one came to the door. I knocked again loudly with my stick. A woman opened the door. 我敲了敲门。没有人来开门。我又用我的棍子大声地敲了敲。一个女人打开了门。
After a long time the photographer came back. He looked tired and he smelt of beer. “Give me my photographs, “ I said. “I have waited a long time for you.” 过了很长时间,摄影师回来了。他看起来很累,身上还散发着啤酒的味道。“把我的照片给我,”我说。“我等你很久了。”
The photographer looked at me and said, “I don’t know you, old man. What photographr are you talking about?” 摄影师看着我说,“我不认识你,老头。你在说什么照片?”
“My three photographs for my Identity Card. I paid you two pounds for them on Tuesday. Give me my photographs immediately or my money.” “我的三张身份证照片。我星期二付了你两英镑。马上给我照片,不然就把钱还给我。”
“You didn’t give me a receipt,” I shouted. “Give me my photographer or my money immediately.” And I hit the photographer hard with my stick. I am old , But still strong. “你没有给我收据,”我喊道。“马上把我的摄影师或我的钱给我。”我用棍子狠狠地打了摄影师。我老了,但仍然很强壮。
The photographer fell on the ground. He shouted, “Help! Help! This old man is killing me.” And I hit him hard again. 摄影师倒在地上。他喊道:“救命!救命!这个老人要杀我。”我又狠狠地打了他一下。
Lots of people ran out of their houses. I hit the photographer again and two men held me. 许多人从他们的房子里跑出来。我又打了摄影师,两个男人抓住了我。
The photographer was very angry and I was very angry. Lots of people were shouting. Then a policeman came. The photographer shouted to the policeman, “This old man hit me three times with his stick. He’s a thief and a murderer. He wants my money.” 摄影师非常生气,我也非常生气。许多人在喊。然后一个警察来了。摄影师对警察喊道:“这个老人用他的棍子打了我三次。他是个小偷和杀人犯。他想要我的钱。”
The policeman held my arm and said “Come with me to the police station.” I did not say anything. We walked to the police station. At the police station, the policemen asked me “Did you hit that man three times?” 警察抓住我的胳膊说:“跟我到警察局去。”我什么也没说。我们走到警察局。在警察局,警察问我:“你打了那个人三次吗?”
“ I am Adam of Minta village, “ I replied, “ and I haven’t got an Identity Card.” “我是明塔村的亚当,”我回答说,“我没有身份证。”
“Old man,” said the policeman. “Go back to your village. Don’t come here and fight. Keep our of Darpur.” “老人,”警察说。“回到你的村子去。不要来这里打架。离开达普尔。”
