What is plot
Plot refers to a series of events within a
story, which are put in sequence according to the principle of cause and effect. To analyse the
plot, we try to grasp its five main elements—introduction(开端), rising action(发展), climax(高潮), falling action(反转) and resolution(结局).
The policeman on the beat walked along the street as he always did. It was barely ten o’clock at night. When he had walked about halfway around a certain block, the policeman suddenly slowed down. In the doorway of a store stood a man, with an unlit cigar in his mouth. As the policeman walked up to him the man spoke up quickly.
Part 1
—line 1-5
巡逻的警察像往常一样沿街走着。差不多要到晚上十点了。当他绕着一个街区走了大约一半时，突然放慢了脚步。一家商店的门口站着一个人，嘴里叼着一支没有点燃的雪茄。当警察向他走来时，那人迅速大声说。
“It’s all right, officer, ” he said. “It’s an appointment made twenty years ago. There used to be a restaurant where this store stands——‘Big Joe’ Brady’s restaurant.”
“It was here until five years ago,” said the policeman. “lt was torn down then.”
Part 1
—line 6-9
“没什么事，警官，”他说，“我只是在等一个朋友。这是二十年前的一个约定。曾经有一家餐馆在这家店的位置——'大乔’布雷迪餐厅。”
“它五年前还在这里，”警察说，“后来被拆掉了。”
The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar. The light showed a pale face, with keen eyes, a square jaw and a little white scar near his right eyebrow. His scarfpin was a large diamond, oddly set.
Part 1
—line 10-12
站在门口的人划了根火柴，点燃了雪茄。灯光照出了一张苍白的脸，一双锐利的眼睛，一个方下巴，右边的眉毛附近有一个白色的小伤疤。他的领带夹/别针是一颗大钻石，镶嵌得(很)奇怪。
“Twenty years ago tonight,” said the man, “I dined here with Jimmy Wells, my best friend. He and I were just like two brothers. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to leave New York and travel to the West to make my fortune.
Part 1
—line 13-16
“二十年前的今晚，”那人说，“我和我最好的朋友吉米·威尔斯在这里吃饭。他和我就像两个兄弟。我18岁，吉米20岁。第二天早上，我就要离开纽约，到西部去发财了。
Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have built a life and made our fortunes.”
Part 1
——line 16-19
好吧，那天晚上我们约定，二十年后的同一天、同一时间，我们将要在此相聚，不管我们的处境将会如何，也不管来的路程会有多远。我们认为，二十年的时间里，我们两个都应该拥有了自己的生活，并且发家致富。”
Part 1
——line 20-24
“听起来很有趣”警察说。“不过，两次见面之间的间隔时间相当长。你离开后就没有收到你朋友的来信吗 ”
“嗯，我们保持了一两年的联系，然后就失去了联系。但我知道，如果吉米还活着，他会来这里见我的，因为他一直是世界上最真诚、最可靠的人。
“It sounds pretty interesting,” said the policeman. “Rather a long time between meetings, though. Haven’t you heard from your friend since you left ”
“Well, we kept in touch for a year or two, and then we lost contact. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he’s alive, for he always was the truest and most reliable fellow in the world.
He’ll never forget. I came a thousand miles to stand in this doorway tonight, and it’s worthwhile if my old partner turns up.”
The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, set with small diamonds. It was three minutes to ten.
“I’ll be on my way,” said the policeman.“Hope your friend turns up.”
他永远不会忘记。今晚，我千里迢迢来到这里，站在这个门口，如果我的老搭档出现了，这是值得的。”
那个等着的男人拿出一块镶嵌着小钻石的精美手表。现在是十点差三分。
“我马上就走了，”警察说。“希望你的朋友会出现。”

——line29-32
“我至少给他半个小时。再见，长官。”
那个从千里之外赶来与年轻时的朋友赴约的人抽着雪茄，等待着。大约二十分钟后，一个身穿长大衣、衣领翘到耳朵的高个子男人匆匆向他走来。
“I’ll give him half an hour at least. Bye, officer.”
The man who had come a thousand miles to keep an appointment with the friend of his youth smoked his cigar and waited. About twenty minutes later, a tall man in a long overcoat, with collar turned up to his ears, hurried toward him.
Part 1
——line33-36
“是你吗，鲍勃 ”他疑惑地问。
“是你吗，吉米·威尔斯 ”门口的人喊道。
“上帝保佑!/我的天哪! 新来的叫道。“好，好，好!二十年是一段很长的时间! 老伙计，西部对你怎么样/你在西部过得怎么样 ”
“Is that you, Bob ” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells ”shouted the man in the doorway.
“Bless my heart!”cried the new arrival.“Well, well,well! Twenty years is a long time! How has the West treated you, old man ”
Part 1
——line37-43
“它给了我想要的一切。你变了很多，吉米。我从没想过你会长髙两三英寸。”
“哦，我二十岁以后长高了一点。来吧,鲍勃；我们要去一个我知道的地方，好好谈谈
过去的时光。”
那两个人手挽着手走在街上。这个从西部来的人开始概述他的职业生涯。
“It has given me everything I asked it for. You’ve changed lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were tall by two or three inches.”
“Oh, I grew a bit after I was twenty. Come on, Bob; we’ll go to a place I know and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men walked up the street, arm in arm. The man from the West was beginning to outline the history of his career.
Part 1
——line43-49
At the corner stood a drugstore, brilliant with electric lights. Each of them turned to stare at the other’s face. The man from the West stopped suddenly and released his arm.
“As I suspected, you’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said, impatiently with anger. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
街角有一家药店，灯火通明。他们每个人都转过身来盯着对方的脸。那个从西部来的人突然停下来，松开了他的手臂。“正如我所怀疑的，你不是吉米·威尔斯，”他愤怒地说。“二十年是很长的一段时间，但还不足以改变一个人鼻子的形状。”
Part 1
——line50-54
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man, taking charge of the situation.“You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes,‘Silky’ Bob. Chicago police thought you might have dropped over our way and wired us. They want to have a chat with you. ”Before we go to the station, here’s a note for you. It’s from Patrolman Wells.”
“它有时会把一个好人变成一个坏人，”控制局面的高个子说。“你已经被捕十分钟了，‘狡猾的’鲍勃。芝加哥警方以为你会顺路过来然后给我们发了电报。他们想和你谈谈。在我们去车站之前，这里有张纸条给你。是巡警威尔斯写来的。
Part 1
——line55-59
The man from the West unfolded the paper. The note was rather short.
“Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the criminal wanted in Chicago. Anyhow I couldn’t arrest youmyself, so I got a plain-clothes man to do the job. JIMMY.”
(Adapted from O. Henry’s short story of the same title)
从西部来的人打开纸。这封信相当短。
“鲍勃:我准时到了约定的地点。当你划着火柴点燃雪茄时，我看到那是一张芝加 哥通缉犯的脸。无论如何，我不能亲自逮捕你，所以我找了个便衣去做这件事。吉米。”

Ⅰ. Introduction:
(Read Lines 1-29)
Jimmy went to see his friend Bob at the agreed location.
1.What do we know about “Big Joe” Brady’s restaurant from the passage

√
Careful-reading for details
2.Why had Bob left New York twenty years before
Because Bob had wanted to travel to the West to make his fortune.
The West: In popular ideas about America, the Wild West has always meant the land of opportunities and adventures, where many European settlers moved during the 19th century to establish new farms and new cities. In films it is often shown as a place where cowboys and Native Americans (Indians) fight each other, and where cowboys use guns rather than the law to settle arguments. Therefore, a situation where there are no laws or controls is sometimes described as being like the Wild West.
