One cold windy day，Dolly was waiting for Jerry to finish his soup when a gentleman came towards us．
一個刮風的冷天，多莉正等著杰利喝湯，一個先生走了過來。
Jerry started to give the soup bowl back to Dolly and was just going to take off my warm cloth when the man said，
杰利忙把湯碗遞給多莉，正要揭我身上的蓋布，那人說：
No，no，finish your soup，my friend．I can wait in the cab until youve finished．Jerry thanked him，then came back to Dolly．
不，不，把湯喝完，我的朋友。我可以在車里等著你喝完。杰利謝過他，回到多莉身旁。
Thats a real gentlemanDolly，he said．He has time and thought for the comfort of a poor cab driver．
那是個真正的紳士，多莉，他說，他肯為一個可憐的趕車人的冷暖著想。
Jerry finished his soup，then we took the man to Clapham．After that，he took our cab several times，and often came to pat me．
杰利喝完了湯，我們就把那人拉到克萊范姆。后來他又坐了幾次我們的車，常來拍拍我。
It was very unusual for anyone to notice a cab horse，and I was grateful．
有人這么注意一匹拉車的馬可真少見。我對他心存感激。
Another day，the gentleman saw a cart with two horses standing in the street．
又有一天，這位先生看見兩匹馬拉著一輛車站在街道上。
The driver was not with them and I dont know how long they had been standing there．However，they decided to move on a few steps．
車夫不在，我不知道他們已等了多久。不過，他們開始踱了幾步。
Suddenly，the cart driver ran out of a building and caught them．He seemed very angry and began to whip the horses hard，even beating them around the head．
突然，車夫從一棟樓里跑出來抓住了他們。他看上去很生氣，狠狠地抽打起馬，甚至抽打馬頭。
Our gentleman saw him and walked quickly across．Stop that at once，or Ill call the police！he said．
我們這位先生看見了他，就快步走過去。立刻住手，不然我喊警察了！他說。
The driver was drunk and he began to shout，but he stopped whipping the horses．Meanwhile，our gentleman wrote down the name and address that was on the side of the cart．
車夫醉了，他喊叫起來，不過他不再抽馬了。同時，我們的先生抄下了在車身一側的名字和地址。
Why do you want that？shouted the driver．
你干嘛這樣？車夫喊道。
Our gentleman didnt answer．He came back to the cab．Many people have thanked me fof telling them how their horses have been used，he told Jerry．
我們的先生沒有回答。他走回我們的車。很多人都感謝我，因為我告訴了他們，他們的馬是被怎樣使用的。他對杰利說。
I wish there were more gentlemen like you，sir，said Jerry．Theyre needed in this city．
我希望有更多的人像您，先生，杰利說，這座城市需要這樣的人。
