Had the writer's money been stolen?

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'

參考譯文

我走進飯店經理的辦公室,坐了下來。我剛剛丟了50英鎊,感到非常煩惱。“我把錢放在房間里,”我說,“可現在沒有了。”經理深表同情,但卻無能為力。“現在大家都在丟錢,”他說。他開始抱怨起這個邪惡的世道來,卻被一陣敲門聲打斷了。一個姑娘走了進來,把一個信封放在了他桌上。它里面裝著50英鎊。“這是我在這位先生的'房門外撿到的,”她說。“是啊,”我對那位經理說,“這世界上還是有誠實可言的!”
