I walked into the shop.The photographer had finished conversation,turned,began to walk towards me.Suddenly he stopped.My first thought was that he had recognised me.Then I realised that he wasn't looking at me,but past to the street outside.I turned to follow his gaze.The man who had stepped from the car,the man in the photographs,was right outside the shop,though he seemed to be only talking to people in the street. I thought this woud be the ideal time to straighten out the mistake that had been made.Here was the photogrpher and here was the man whose photographs I had been given.
I took a step closer to the photographer and put my hand into my pocket to take out the envelope.As the man saw me,his expression changed to one of absolute terror.The fishmonger was standing at my elbow,quietly carving a steak from the smaller tunny fish displayed on the slab.The photographer spran forward,grabbed the knife from the fishmonger and lunged towards me with it.It missed me by a hairbreadth.
I backed away.The man followed.I grabbed the first thing I could see with which to defend myself-the head of one of the swordfish.Grasping it by its sword with both hands,I swung the heavy head at my attacker.The head caught him full on the chest.He reeled back and the knife spun out of his hand,landing between the open jaws of the giant tunny fish.He made a dive for it.Slithering on the wet slab,he missed,his hand dislodging the stick that propped open the huge mouth.The upper jaw clamped downon his wrist.He struggled to get it out.I saw my changce,and ran.
There was total confusion in the market.The man in the photogrphs was being bundled back into the car by two men who must have been following him.No-one was trying to stop me as I headed towards to a narrow alley which looked like a way out.
I reached the alley,only to find my way blocked by a man who was staggering about and obviously drunk.He was eating boiled octopus from a small,aluminium foil dish.I tried to push past him,but he grabbed my arm,holding it,it seemed to steady himself,but in a grip that was like a vice(8)!( 文章阅读网：www.sanwen.net )

我走进了那家店子。摄影师已经结束了与别人的交谈，并转身开始向我走来。他突然停止了脚步。起先我以为他认出我了，随即意识到他的目光我并没有朝向我，而是从我身旁经过朝向外面的街上。我转头寻着他凝视的目光看去。原来他看的是从轿车上下来的那个人，也就是我照片中那个人；那人恰好站在商店门外，不过好像只是对着街上的人群在讲话。我寻思，趁着摄影师也在，照片中的人也在，这可是弄明白照片问题最理想的机会！
我上前一步靠拢那摄影师，同时把手伸进衣袋以便取出那个信封。不料他一见我，脸色就一下子变得极其恐惧！我身边就是鱼摊，鱼贩平静地从那条较小的金枪鱼身上割下一块鱼排。摄影师向前一跃，一把夺过鱼贩的刀子，对直向我刺来！好险!刀尖擦身而过！
我后退几步，他追上前来。我一把抓起第一眼就看到的、能用来防卫的东西——两个剑鱼头中的一个。我双手紧紧抓住剑鱼头上的剑，把沉重的鱼头对着这个攻击者狠狠地砸过去。鱼头正好打中他的胸膛。他向后打了个趔趄，刀子从手里飞了出去，落在了那个巨无霸金枪鱼张着的大嘴里。他冲过去抢刀子，不料摊板很滑，刀子没抢着，反倒把撑开金枪鱼大嘴的棍子碰落，其上颚顿时落下，卡住了他的手腕。他挣扎着想把手取出来。我乘此机会，夺路狂奔。
整个市场乱成一团。照片中那个人被两个男子塞进了轿车——那两人肯定是一直跟在他身边的。没有人试图阻拦我，我跑向一条窄窄的巷子，这巷子看起来是条出路。
到了巷子，结果却发现有人堵截！那人踉踉跄跄，显然是个醉鬼。他手拿一个小小的锡箔盘子，吃着盘子里的章鱼片。我试图推开他从旁经过，他却一把抓住我的胳膊，并且紧紧握住，似乎是想要站稳，可那种紧握，却像是被老虎钳夹住一样（8）！
