When the drinks arrived，the stranger did something that he wanted nobody to see except me. He mixed his hot rum and water，not with a spoon，
當酒上來時，那個陌生人要的東西除了我沒有人看見。攪拌著他的熱朗姆酒和水，不是用勺子，
but with a file，which he put back in his pocket when he had finished．
而是用一把銼。攪拌好后，他把銼放進口袋。
As soon as I saw the file，I knew it was the one I had stolen from Joe，and I knew that this man knew my convict.
我一看到這把銼，就知道是我從喬那兒偷的那一把；就知道這個人了解我那個囚犯，
I stared at him in horror.

Wait a moment，'I said the stranger．I'd like to give the boy something，'and wrapping a coin in some old paper from his pocket，handed it to me.
等一會兒，陌生人說，我想給這孩子點東西，并從他的口袋里拿出一枚用舊報紙裹著的硬幣遞給我，
That' s yours！he told me，giving me a look full of meaning .
這是你的！他告訴我，并使了個意味深長的眼神。
Thank you，sir，'I said，still staring at him．
謝謝你，先生，我說，仍然盯著他。
Together Joe and I walked home，Joe with his mouth open all the way so that my sister would not notice the smell of rum on his breath .
我和喬一起往家走，喬一路上張著嘴，以便我姐姐不會在他呼吸時發現朗姆酒味。
But when we arrived home，we found the stranger had giv-en me two Pound notes as well as the coin．

My sister thought it must have been a mistake，and kept the pound notes in case he came back for them．
當我到達家里時，我發現那個陌生人給我的相當兩鎊鈔票的硬幣。
But I knew they came from my con－vict，and I felt that having criminal friends made me more common than ever.

關于《遠大前程》
這個邪惡的故事充分的體現了邪惡的人濫用法律為非作歹，而缺乏經驗的人卻始終要做犧牲品的社會現象。
