Bear in mind that an opportunity knocks but once. Under no circumstances should we let slip any opportunity, but on the contrary, we should seize it at the very beginning of its appearance and then take good
Summary
A New York City hobo（流浪汉） named Soapy, who sets out to get arrested so he can avoid sleeping in the cold winter as a guest of the city jail. Despite efforts at petty theft（小偷小摸）, vandalism（破坏行为）, disorderly conduct（扰乱治安 行为）, and “mashing” with a young prostitute（妓 女）, Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police. Disconsolately（愁闷地）, he pauses in front of a church, where an anthem inspires him to clean up his life — and is ironically（讽刺地） charged for loitering（流浪罪） and sentenced to three months in prison.
• 3. Soapy decides to clean up his life after hearing an anthem. But at last, he is sentenced to three months in prison.

Has a big supper without any payment
Soapy goes to a general restaurant and has a big supper. And then he tells the waiter that he has no money to pay for this, and lets him call the cops to come to get him. But the waiter just throws him out. What’s more, the cops just
时髦的文雅娴静的女子在看商品。 苏比打算以一个好色之徒的身份 走过去调戏她，旁边的警察正看 着他们。想不到这位女子却转身 亲热地搂着他，说跟他走之前要 他给自己买一杯啤酒，然后苏比 在拐弯处懊丧地甩掉了女子。
Disorderly conduct
In front of the theatre, he acts a drunkard（酒鬼、 醉汉）to disturb, but the cop thinks he is a Yale lads （小伙子） celebrating a football game which beats the team of Hartford College.
Clues
• 1. Soapy, homeless, plans to get into the jail to avoid sleeping in winter.
• 2. Soapy tries every means to be caught by the cop, but it doesn’t work.
Soapy sees a high-end restaurant and wants to have dinner with no payment in order to put into the jail. But the head waiter’s eyes fall upon Soapy‘s threadbare（衣 衫褴褛）clothes, so he refuses to serve him and pushes him to the sidewalk.
Surprise ending
正当他听到教 堂的赞美诗，决定 重新做人时，却被 莫名其妙地逮捕了， 并被判进他梦寐以 求的监狱三个月。
Finally, he pauses in front of a church, where an anthem inspires him to clean up his life. Unfortunately, he is ironically charged for loitering and sentenced to three months in prison.

在雪茄烟店前，苏比拿走了一 位衣冠楚楚的人的伞还侮辱他， 想以此被警察抓走，不料原来伞 的主人竟然也是一个小偷，他不 敢报警。警察并没有抓苏比，而 是搀扶着一位穿晚礼服的金发高 个女士过马路。
在剧院前，苏比在 热闹的大街上大吵大闹， 想让警察抓住他，可警 察对旁人说，这是耶鲁 的小伙子在为自己战胜 了哈特福院队而庆祝， 苏比扰乱治安的梦想又 一次破灭了。
Petty theft
In a cigar store Soapy sees a well-dressed man lighting a cigar. Then Soapy steals his umbrella which sets by the door and insults（侮辱）him. Unexpectedly, it is also not his umbrella and he is a thief, too. So he dares not to call the cop. But the cop just supports the woman with golden
Impression
Admittedly, opportunity waits for no man. It is not passive, and it will not wait for you to consider and analyze whether you should do, and then decide to do it. Therefore, it is no use regretting late in life to say: "I
Vandalism
苏比走到一家陈设别致，大 玻璃窗惹眼的铺子前，捡起鹅卵 石往大玻璃上砸去，然后望着旁 边的警察笑，警察认为没有人做 了坏事会自己等着受罚，所以正 眼看都没看他就追着前面跑着赶 车的人去了。
At the corner stands a luxury shop where the plate-glass window is conspicuous（引人注目的）. Soapy takes a cobblestone and dashes it through the glass, after that, he indicates to a cop that it is he who vandalizes the plateglass window. But the cop doesn’t think a person who does something illegal will wait to be punished, so he decides to pursue an innocent bystander.
