04. Oliver in London(11)

　　'Is this the boy
 'They asked the old gentleman.
　　'Yes, 'he answered, leaning over O liver. 'But I'm afraid he's hurt himself. '
　　'I did that, 'said a huge young man proudly. 'And I hurt my hand doing it. 'The old gentleman looked at him with an expression of dislike.
　　O liver lay on the ground, covered with mud and dust and bleeding from the mouth, and looked wildly at all the faces surrounding him. At that moment a policeman arrived and took O liver by the collar. 'Come on, get up, 'he said roughly.
　　'It wasn't me, sir, 'said O liver, looking round. 'It was two other boys. They're here somewhere. '
　　'Oh no, They aren't, 'replied the policeman. In fact, he was right, as the Dodger and Charley had quietly disappeared as soon as the crowd had caught O liver. 'Come on, get up! '
　　'Don't hurt him, 'said the old gentleman.
　　'I won't, said the policeman, tearing O liver's jacket half off his back as he lifted him up.
The three of the m started walking, followed by the excited crowd.
“是这个男孩吗？”他们问老先生。
　　“是的。”他回答道，并俯下身看着奥利弗。“恐怕他是伤着自己了。”
　　“那是我弄的，”一个大个子年轻人自豪地说，“都把我的手弄痛了。”老先生反感地看了他一眼。
　　奥利弗躺在地上，浑身上下沾满了泥土，嘴里往外流着血，惊慌失措地看着围着他的一张张面孔。不一会儿，警察赶来了，抓住领子拎起了奥利弗，粗暴地说：“站起来，跟我走！”
　　“先生，不是我，”奥利弗四下里张望着说，“是另外的两个男孩，他们就在附近的什么地方。”
　　“噢，不，他们不在这里。”警察说。其实，他说得对，在追赶的人群将奥利弗抓住后，神偷和查理•贝茨就溜之大吉了。“起来！”
　　“别打他。”老先生说。
　　“我不会打他的。”警察说着将他从地上拉起来，差点儿把他的上衣从身上扯下来。
　　他们三个人朝前走去，沸沸扬扬的人群跟在他们身后。
