英语翻译
Lester liked to collect things.He would walk near his house with his eyes focused on the ground,hoping something interesting would present itself at his feet.Lester had found many things this way.
One day,Lester was walking home from school.Just as he turned the corner to his street,Lester noticed something on the ground.When he bent down to pick it up,he was amazed!It was a small rock,shining in the sun.“It is a diamond （钻石）!” he thought.He could not be sure,though.
Lester picked the rock up and carefully put it into his pocket.When he reached his house,he ran to his bedroom.He pulled a magnifying glass and began to examine his find.Lester had heard that diamonds can cut glass,so he rubbed （划） the rock on the mirror and there was a small cut in the mirror’s surface.It was a real diamond.
It must have fallen out of someone’s ring.Lester thought about what his mum had said about finding something valuable,“You should always give it to the police,so they can try to find the owner.”
It must have fallen out of someone’s ring.Lester thought about what his mum had said about finding something valuable,“You should always give it to the police,so they can try to find the owner.”
The next day,Lester carried the stone to the police station.He told the policeman where he had found the rock and how he thought it might be valuable.“Thank you,young man,” the policeman shook Lester’s hand.“You did the right thing coming down here today,” he said.“According to ‘the found-property （拾得财务） law’,if you had not brought the diamond to the police and just kept it,you might have been breaking the law.Since you did bring it to the police,there is a chance you could keep it legally （合法的）.”
“Is that true?” Lester asked.
“Yes,” the policeman answered.“If no one claims （索取） this diamond within six months,it will be yours under the law.”
Lester walked out of the police station happily.He was glad he had given the diamond to the police,and he thought about how happy it would make someone to get it back.Still,Lester hoped that maybe he could keep the diamond.

雷斯特喜欢收集东西.在他家附近走时,眼睛总是盯着地面,希望有好玩的东西出现在他的脚下.以这样的方式,雷斯特已经发现很多东西了.有一天,雷斯特从学校走回家,正当他拐弯到回家的街道上,雷斯特注意到地面上有什么东西.他弯下腰将它捡起时,感到很惊奇.那是一枚小石头,在阳光下流光溢彩.“它是一颗钻石”他认为,但他不确定.雷斯特捡起石头并小心地将它放入口袋.当他回到家,就奔向他的卧室,拿出一个放大镜,开始检测他的发现.雷斯特听说钻石可以切割玻璃,因此他在镜子上划这个石头,镜子表面上留下了一条小小的切痕.它真的是一颗钻石!
它一定是从某人的戒指上掉下来的.雷斯特反复思考,在捡到贵重东西时母亲所说的话,“你应该把它交给警察,这样他们能试图找到失主”.
第二天,雷斯特把石头带到警察局,他告诉警察他是在哪儿发现这个石头,以及他是如何判断它可能很贵重.年轻人”警察和雷斯特握手.“今天你到这儿来做的很对,”他说,“根据‘拾得财务法’,如果你不把它带来给警察.而只是占有它,你很有可能违反了法律.因为你确实把他带来给警察,就有一个可以合法保留它的机会."
"真的吗?”雷斯特问.
“是的,”警察回答道,“如果在六个月之内,没有人索取这颗钻石,按照法律,它将会成为你的.”
雷斯特开心地从警察局走出来.他很高兴他将钻石给了警察,并且他想,这可以让人将钻石找回,是多么开心的事啊!当然,雷斯特希望也许他可以拥有这颗宝石.
