He stared at the officer before him, realizing that Jimmy had kept their promise—just not in the way he’d hoped. Twenty years of friendship could not outweigh the law, and he knew deep down（在内心深处） he deserved this fate. 纸条从鲍勃颤抖的指间滑落，飘落在冰冷的人行道上，他的脸色变得和头顶昏暗的路灯一样惨白。片刻前还充斥心头的愤怒与失望，此刻尽数化为羞愧与悔恨交织的苦涩。他望着面前的警官，终于明白吉米终究信守了他们的约定 —— 只是并非他期盼的方式。二十年的情谊，终究抵不过法律的威严，而他心底清楚，自己罪有应得。 With _________________________________(令人煎熬的愤懑与失望)giving way to shame and regret,he understood Jimmy's and __________(两难处境) and ________________________________________________(为自己卑劣的行径感到无比羞愧。).

Twenty years is a long time," he smiled bitterly, not knowing where to go. He had no family,and had never heard a word from Jimmy again since that cold, dark night. "Was he ashamed of having a friend like me?" Bob longed for an answer. "Excuse me, sir, are you Bob?" Bob heard the voice of a young man. "Yes." He turned around and was surprised to find a familiar-looking man in his thirties. "Have we met before? "No. sir." replied the man. "My father told me to meet you today. I have a note for you from him."Doubtfully, Bob unfolded the note. His hands were shaking by the time he had finished reading . Bob, the doctor says l've only got three months.
