PART II

Rather against his better judgement, Jamie felt himself being drawn in. He could not resist Isabel, he had decided. There was something about her that fascinated him: the intellectual curiosity, the style, the verve.

'So?' he said. 'So who is he? And what do we do?'

We do, he thought. I should've said you do, but once again, I've played straight into Isabel's hands. I'm trapped. In nets of golden wires.

Isabel was oblivious of Jamie's struggle with himself. She had invited him to meet her to discuss what she had found out; she had not asked him to join her in her inquiry. Of course, if he wished to do so, then that would be very helpful, but she had not asked him.

'Well,' she began, 'we now know who that unfortunate young man was and where he lived. We know that the police appealed for information.'

'And that's it,' said Jamie. 'We ... you don't know whether they ever found the driver.' Isabel conceded that this remained unknown. But now, at least, they had a description of the person who might have been responsible.

'But what do you do with that?' asked Jamie. 'Go to the police? What would you tell them? That somebody else is having visions of a face and here's a drawing?' He laughed. 'You can imagine the reception you'd get.'

Isabel thought about this. She had not imagined going to the police - just yet. Jamie was right in thinking that it would be difficult to convince them to take her seriously and that they would be unlikely to pursue the matter further; unless, of course, the push came from the family of the victim. If they could be persuaded to do something about it, then the police could hardly refuse a request from them, at least to consider Ian's story.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Jamie. 'Why are you doing this, Isabel?' he asked mildly. 'What's the point?'

She looked at him. It was her duty, was it not? If this was really information about who was responsible for the hit-and-run incident, then surely she had a duty to do something about it - any citizen would have that duty, simply because he or she was a citizen. And there was more to it than that. By listening to Ian's story, she felt she had been drawn into a moral relationship with him and his situation. Isabel had firm views on moral proximity and the obligations it created. We cannot choose the situations in which we become involved in this life; we are caught up in them, whether we like it or not. If one encounters the need of another, because of who one happens to be or where one happens to find oneself, and one is in a position to help, then one should do so. It was as simple as that.

She shrugged. 'The point is that I have to do this,' she said. 'I can't walk away from it. That driver needs to be called to account. And Ian needs to know why he's seeing that face. In each case, the solution lies in the uncovering of the truth.'

Прочитайте Часть 2 отрывка на странице 96. Верны ли утверждения или ложны?

Ответ:

1 Jamie had become involved in Isabel's investigations before.
Jamie уже участвовал в расследованиях Изабель раньше.

True. In line 69, Jamie thinks, "but once again, I've played straight into Isabel's hands." The phrase "once again" suggests previous involvement.
Верно. В строке 69 Джейми думает: "но я снова попал прямо в руки Изабель". Фраза "снова" предполагает предыдущее участие.

2 Isabel had already assumed that Jamie would want to help her.
Изабель уже предполагала, что Джейми захочет ей помочь.

False. The text states Isabel "was oblivious of Jamie's struggle with himself" (line 71) and "she had not asked him" (line 75) for help beyond inviting him to join the inquiry. This indicates she did not assume his willingness but rather acted.
Неверно. В тексте говорится, что Изабель "не замечала внутренней борьбы Джейми" (строка 71) и "не просила его" (строка 75) о помощи, кроме как пригласить его присоединиться к расследованию. Это указывает на то, что она не предполагала его готовности, а скорее действовала.

3 Neither of them knew if the police had identified the driver.
Никто из них не знал, опознала ли полиция водителя.

True. Jamie states, "you don't know whether they ever found the driver," (line 81) and Isabel "conceded that this remained unknown" (line 82).
Верно. Джейми заявляет: "вы не знаете, нашли ли они когда-нибудь водителя" (строка 81), и Изабель "признала, что это оставалось неизвестным" (строка 82).

4 Ian had described the face of the man he kept imagining to Isabel.
Иан описал Изабель лицо человека, которого он постоянно представлял.

True. The text mentions "listening to Ian's story" (line 109) and Jamie's reference to "visions of a face and here's a drawing" (line 88). This implies Ian communicated what he was seeing, either verbally or visually through a drawing, which would count as describing.
Верно. В тексте упоминается "слушая историю Иана" (строка 109) и ссылка Джейми на "видения лица и вот рисунок" (строка 88). Это подразумевает, что Иан сообщил, что он видел, либо устно, либо визуально через рисунок, что можно считать описанием.

5 Isabel believed that the police would act on the information she had.
Изабель верила, что полиция будет действовать на основании имеющейся у нее информации.

False. Isabel thought "it would be difficult to convince them to take her seriously and that they would be unlikely to pursue the matter further" (lines 93-95).
Неверно. Изабель считала, что "будет трудно убедить их отнестись к ней серьезно, и что они вряд ли будут дальше заниматься этим делом" (строки 93-95).

6 She felt obliged to take responsibility for the problems of people she met.
Она чувствовала себя обязанной брать на себя ответственность за проблемы людей, которых она встречала.

True. Isabel believes it's a "duty" for any citizen with information (lines 106-108) and states, "If one encounters the need of another... and one is in a position to help, then one should do so" (lines 116-119). She also felt "drawn into a moral relationship" with Ian's situation (lines 109-111).
Верно. Изабель считает, что это "обязанность" любого гражданина, имеющего информацию (строки 106-108), и заявляет: "Если человек сталкивается с нуждой другого... и находится в состоянии помочь, то он должен это сделать" (строки 116-119). Она также чувствовала себя "втянутой в моральные отношения" с ситуацией Иана (строки 109-111).

7 Isabel believed that justice must be done.
Изабель верила, что справедливость должна восторжествовать.

True. Isabel states, "I can't walk away from it. That driver needs to be called to account" (lines 121-122), indicating a belief in accountability and justice.
Верно. Изабель заявляет: "Я не могу от этого отказаться. Этот водитель должен быть привлечен к ответственности" (строки 121-122), что указывает на веру в ответственность и справедливость.
