 Back at the workhouse, O liver was taken to see the board. He stood in front of ten fat men who were sitting around a table.
  'What's your name, boy?' asked a particularly fat man with a very round, red face.
  O liver was frightened at the sight of so many people, and started to cry.
  'Why are you crying?'
  The beadle hit him on the back,and so naturally O liver cried even more.
  'The boy is a fool,'one member of the board announced.
  'You know you have no father or mother,'said the first man, 'and that you have been brought up with other orphans?'
  'Yes, sir,'replied O liver, crying bitterly.
  'Why is the boy crying?'repeated the other man, puzzled.
  'You have come here to be educated,'continued the fat man, 'so you will start working here tomorrow at six o'clock.'
O liver was led away to a large room, where,on a rough hard bed,he cried himself to sleep.
回到了济贫院,奥利弗被带去见董事会的人。十个体态臃肿、肥头大耳的人围坐在一张桌子周围,他站在他们面前。
  “小子,你叫什么名字?”其中一个长着滚圆红脸的特别胖的人问道。
  奥利弗被眼前这么多的人给吓哭了。
  “你哭什么?”
  执事在奥利弗的背上揍了一下,当然这一下使他哭得更厉害了。
  “他是个傻子。”一位董事大声说。
  “你知道你没有父母,是和那些孤儿一起长大的吗?”第一位先生说。
  “我知道,先生。”奥利弗伤心地回答道。
  “这孩子哭什么?”另外那位先生莫名其妙地问。
  “你是到这儿来受教育的,”那个胖子接着说,“所以从明天早晨六点钟起,你得在这儿干活。”
  奥利弗又从这儿被带到了一间大屋子里。他躺在屋里一张粗糙的木板床上,哭着哭着就睡着了。
