Jerry opened the door but two men ran¹ up，calling out，Cab²！

杰利打开车门，这当儿两个男人跑了过来，喊着：马车！

Its taken，said³ Jerry，but one man pushed⁴ past the woman and jumped in，followed by the other．This cab is already⁶ taken，gentlemen⁷，Jerry said again，by this lady．

已经有人要了！杰利说，可是一个男人冲到妇女前面跳上了车，另一个也跳了上来。这车已经有人要了，先生们。杰利又说了一遍，这位女士要了。

Lady！said one of the men unpleasantly，looking at the womans poor clothes．She can wait．Our business⁸ is very im－portant，and anyway，we were in first，and well stay in．

女士！其中一个男人不高兴地说，一边看着妇女那破旧的衣服。她可以等，我们的事情非常重要，再说，是我们先上的车，我们就在车上呆着。

A smile came⁹ over Jerrys face as⁵ he shut¹⁰ the cab door．Stay in as long as you like， gentlemen．

杰利听罢，脸上掠过一丝微笑，他关上车门说：爱呆多久呆多久吧！先生们。在里面歇着好了。我等着你们。

I can wait while¹¹ you rest yourselves¹²．He walked over to the young woman who was¹³ standing¹⁴ nearby¹⁵．Theyll soon be gone，dont worry，he said， laughing．

然后他向站在旁边的年轻妇女走过去。他们很快就会走的，别担心！他说着，笑起来。

And he was right．When the two men realized¹⁶ that they were going¹⁷ to have a very long wait，they got¹⁸ out，calling Jerry all kinds of bad names．

他说对了。那两个男人意识到他们面临着漫长的等待，就用各种难听的话骂着杰利，钻出车门。

After this， we were soon on our way to the hospital．

然后很快我们就向医院赶去。

Thank you a thousand times， said the young woman， as Jerry helped her out of the cab．
