  Some time later the man from Maw and Meggins said, 'It was the machinery—an accident. Herbert called, 'Help!'. (1) The next minute he was in the machinery. I'm very, very sorry,' he finished.
  For a minute or two the room was quiet. At last Mrs White said, 'Our son! Dead! (2) '
  Her husband said, 'He was our son. We loved him.'
  Then Mrs White asked the stranger, 'Can we see him? Can we see our son? Please take me to him. I want to see my son.'
  But the stranger answered quickly, 'No!' he said. 'It's better not to see him. They couldn't stop the machinery quickly. (3) He was…' the man stopped. Then he said, 'Don't go to see him!'
   (4) He said nothing, but he stood there for some time and he waited.
  Then he went back to the old people and began to talk again. 'There's one more thing,' he said. 'Your son worked for Maw and Meggins for six years and he was a good worker. (5) ' Again the stranger stopped. After a minute he began again. 'Maw and Meggins want to give you some money.' Then he put something into Mr White's hand.
  Old Mr White did not look at the money in his hand. Slowly he stood up and looked at the stranger, afraid. 'How much?' Mr White asked, very quietly. He did not want to hear the answer.
  'Thirty thousand pounds,' the stranger said.

The men heard him, and ran to him quickly, but they could do nothing. We're never going to see him again. What are we going to do without him? He was in there for a long time, and at first they couldn't get him out. The stranger went over to the window because he did not want to see the faces of the two old people. Now Maw and Meggins want to help you at this unhappy time.
过了一会儿,从莫和麦金森来的男人说,“那是一起机器事故,听到赫伯特喊救命,工友们跑过去,可一点办法也没有。只能眼睁睁地看着赫伯特在机器里。对不起,非常对不起。”他结束一了讲话。   刹那间,屋子里非常安静。最后,怀特太太说,“我们的儿子,死了,我们再也不能见到他了,没有他,我们以后的日子怎么过?”   他丈夫说,“他是我们的儿子,我们爱他。”   接着,怀特太太问陌生人,“我们能看看他吗?我们能不能看看我们的儿子?请带我去,我想去看看我的儿子。”   但陌生人很快答道,“不行,最好不要去看他,他们不能快速把机器停下来,赫伯特在里面呆了很长时间,并且开始的时候弄不出来,他……”陌生人停了下来,接着他说,“还是别去看他吧!”   陌生人走到窗户边,因为他不想看到两位老人的痛苦的表情,他什么也没说,站在那儿等了好长时间。   然而,他又回过身来开始和两位老人谈话。“但是,你们的儿子是一个好工人,他为莫和麦金森工作了6年。现在,莫和麦金森要在这个不幸的时候帮助你们。”陌生人又停了下来,过了一会儿又说,“莫和麦金森想给你们一些钱。”说完,他把一些东西交到怀特先生手上。   老怀特先生没有看手里的钱,他慢慢地站起来,害怕地看着陌生人,“多少钱?”怀特先生非常平静地问。其实他并不想听到答案。   “30 000英镑。”陌生人说。
