On a cold night in New York, a policeman was on duty (值勤). He walked along a quiet street and checked the shops that had closed for the night. Then he came upon a man outside a store.
Before he could say a word, the man started talking.
"It's all right, officer," the man said. "I'm just waiting for a friend. We made a date to meet here." He explained that he and his friend had eaten dinner at this shop exactly 20 years ago. Back then, it was a restaurant. The policeman replied that "Big Joe", Brady's restaurant had closed down five years ago.
Then, the man lit his cigar (雪茄). From the light, the officer could see the man better. He had a little white scar (疤) near his right eye. He was also well-dressed, with a large jewel in his necktie. The man went on to talk about his good friend Jimmy and how they were like brothers. The day after their dinner, the man had gone West to become rich, but Jimmy had stayed behind in New York. They hadn't seen each other since then, but had agreed to meet at the same restaurant on this very night.
"I'll be on my way," the policeman said. "Hope your friend comes around all right." He then continued walking down the street.
Around 20 minutes later, another man showed up. "Is that you, Bob?" the man asked. "Is that you, Jimmy?" Bob replied. Bob was happy to be looking at his old friend again. However, he couldn't help but notice that Jimmy seemed much taller. "I grew a bit after I was 20," Jimmy said. "Hey, I know a place. It's not far from here, and we can talk there." Bob agreed, and they started walking.
When they stepped under the light of a shop, the two men turned to look at each other. Bob stopped suddenly and cried, "You can't be Jimmy! Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the size of a man's nose."
"It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one," said the tall man. "You have been under arrest for the last ten minutes, Bob. Also, here's a note from Officer Jimmy." Bob unfolded the piece of paper handed to him.
| Bob, |
| I was at the place on time. When you lit your cigar, I saw the face of the wanted man in Chicago. Somehow, I couldn't do it myself, so I left and sent my coworker to do the job. |

在纽约一个寒冷的夜晚，一名警察正在值勤。他沿着一条安静的街道行走，检查那些夜间已经关门的商店。然后他在一家商店外面遇到了一个男人。
还没等他开口，这个男人就开始说话了。
“没事的，警官，”男人说道，“我只是在等一个朋友。我们约好在这里见面。”他解释说，他和他的朋友正好在20年前在这家店吃过晚餐。那时候，这里是一家餐厅。警察回答说，“大乔”布雷迪餐厅五年前就倒闭了。
然后，男人点燃了他的雪茄。借着火光，警官能更清楚地看到这个男人。他右眼附近有一道小小的白色疤痕。他还穿着讲究，领带上有一颗大宝石。男人接着说起他的好朋友吉米，以及他们如何亲如兄弟。晚餐后的第二天，男人去了西部发财，而吉米则留在了纽约。从那以后他们就再也没见过面，但约定在今晚在同一家餐厅见面。
“我要继续巡逻了，”警察说，“希望你的朋友能顺利出现。”然后他继续沿着街道走去。
大约20分钟后，另一个男人出现了。“是你吗，鲍勃？”男人问道。“是你吗，吉米？”鲍勃回答。鲍勃很高兴能再次见到他的老朋友。然而，他不禁注意到吉米似乎高了很多。“我20岁以后长高了一点，”吉米说。“嘿，我知道一个地方。离这里不远，我们可以在那里聊聊。”鲍勃同意了，他们开始走起来。
当他们走到一家商店的灯光下时，两个人转过身来看着对方。鲍勃突然停了下来，喊道：“你不可能是吉米！20年是很长的时间，但还不足以改变一个人的鼻子大小。”
“有时候它会把一个好人变成坏人，”高个子男人说。“在过去的十分钟里你已经被逮捕了，鲍勃。另外，这是吉米警官给你的一张便条。”鲍勃展开递给他的那张纸。
| 鲍勃： |
| 我按时到了约定的地方。当你点燃雪茄时，我看到了芝加哥通缉犯的脸。不知怎么的，我自己下不了手，所以我离开了，派我的同事来执行这项任务。 |
| 吉米 |
( ) 1. 鲍勃向正在值勤的警察解释了______。
