Lesson 30
检索；重新得到；Hale Waihona Puke Baidu回；挽回
仁慈；善行
There was at times a twofold purpose in this benevolence. By handling the incident in this irregular way not only was the company certain of retrieving all that had been stolen but, because of his gratitude, the victim could henceforth be relied upon to act as a sort of stool pigeon. He could be made to squeal and squawk when occasion arose.

有时这种事能有双重效果：通过用这种不寻常的方式处理这些事情 ，不仅公司肯定能找回所有被窃取的财物，而且出于对他的感激， 那些人从此以后能成为他可靠的线索提供人；一旦出事，总有人向 他告密或向他自首并揭发别人。 他之所以这么大行善举，有时候有双重目的。一方面，通过这种非 常规方法处理事情，公司可以追回被盗用的钱；另一方面，对方出 于对他的感激，会因此而成为他值得信赖的眼线，一有什么情况， 可以利用他打打小报告什么的。

我发现不只是少数人有过贪污受贿的事。 在与奥罗克一起巡查的过程中，我发现，公司的不少职 员在他们龌龊的电讯生涯中，都多多少少盗用过公款。
I had learned a great deal from these nocturnal inspections, things which I doubted that Clancy(克兰西) himself knew. 在和奥洛克的谈话中，我了解到许多内幕，而有些我怀 疑克郎西自己都未必清楚。 这种夜间巡查让我了解到很多事，这些事依我看连克兰 西都未必知道。

Many a time, in the beginning, when I wondered why O’Rourke was taking such an interest in certain ratlike characters, I discovered that they were of the lost tribe whom O’Rourke had converted to useful instruments. 刚开始我还纳闷奥洛克为什么对那些社会渣滓那么感兴 趣，许多次我都发现奥洛克已经将他们改造成有用之人 了。 刚开始时，我不止一次地纳闷，为什么奥罗克对一些贼 眉鼠眼的家伙这么感兴趣。结果发现，他们都是些失足 成恨的家伙，现在经过他的改造，一个个都成了为他所 用的工具。
