小心碎玻璃，先生們 Mind the broken glass, gentlemen.
瞳孔仍然輕微擴散，可能被下了藥 Pupils still slightly dilated. Could've been drugged.
- 是被下了藥 - 什麼藥？ - Was drugged. - With what?
有點纈草的氣味，那是無害的 There's a smell of valerian, which is harmless,
但肯定加了別的東西 but something must've been added.
- 我能合上他的眼睛了嗎？ - 最好如此 - May I close his eyes now? - I wish you would.
為什麼他流了那麼多血？ Why did he lose so much blood?
- 我能拉開床單嗎？ - 儘管做 - Can I pull back the bedclothes? - By all means.
雷切特先生的正面被刺了… Mr. Ratchett has been frontally stabbed
十、十一、十二刀 ten, eleven, twelve times.
- 上帝啊[義大利語] - 可憐的人[法語] - Oh, Dio. - Mon pauvre.
你要是想吐就去吐吧 If you must go whoop-whoop, please go whoop-whoop
別迎著風，要背風 幫幫他，皮埃爾 not to windward, but to leeward. Help him, Pierre.
口袋裡有東西 There is something in the pocket.
請允許我 Permit me.
- 他的表 - 死亡時間 - His watch. - The time of death.
我可以肯定說，死亡發生在午夜到淩晨2點之間 I can definitely say that death occurred between midnight and 2 in the morning.
對得上 That would fit.
我本人聽見他喊叫，按鈴叫乘務員，在1點差20分 I myself heard him cry out and ring for the conductor at 20 minutes to 1.
皮埃爾來了，他道歉 When Pierre arrived, he apologized
說他發了夢魘[法語] and said he had been having a cauchemar.
做了噩夢 A nightmare.
然後我聽到他用盥洗盆 Then I heard him use his washbasin.
這就是最後所知的了 And that is the last thing known.
我求你 先生[法語] 你不能拒絕 I beg of you, monsieur. You cannot refuse.
可這是南斯拉夫員警的職責 But it is the duty of the Yugoslavian police.
啊 什麼? 先生[法語] 在我的火車上審問我的乘客嗎？ Oh, what, monsieur, to question my passengers on my line?
絕不行 Never.
你現在必須解決這個謎 Now you must solve the mystery.
等我們到了布羅德，要是能到的話 When we get to Brod, if we ever do,
我們把弄清的事實告訴警方 we present the police with a fait accompli.
我們說發生了謀殺案，這就是罪犯 We say that a murder has occurred. There is the criminal.
我要把軟席車廂留出來，用作調查指揮部 I should like the Pullman coach reserved for the investigation's headquarters.
任你支配 It will be at your disposal.
還要一張加來車廂的平面圖，注明所有人姓名與鋪位號 And a plan of the Calais coach with the names and locations of all the people in it.
好的，會給你的 Yes, it will be there.
還有所有相關乘客的護照 And the passports of all the passengers concerned.
行，連我的也可以給你 Yes, you can even have mine.
現在我要去做個特別通告 謝謝[義大利語] I go to make a special announcement now. Grazie.
把所有乘客的護照都拿給波洛先生[法語] Bring all the passports to Monsieur Poirot.
火車上還有其他乘客嗎？ Are there any other passengers on the train?
軟席車廂，除了我和比安奇先生沒別人 In the Pullman coach, nobody but myself and Mr. Bianchi.
那麼[法語] Alors.
那麼我們得集中精力於加來車廂 Then we must concentrate on the Calais coach.
以我的業餘觀點看，兇手現在就在我們中間 Where, in my amateur opinion, the murderer is with us now.
女士們，先生們，請耐心一些 Ladies and gentlemen. Please, please, patience.
你們一定得有耐心，各位都有機會… You must have patience. Now, you will all get the chance
跟波洛先生[法語]陳述自己的看法，在他合適的時候 to state your views to Monsieur Poirot at his own good time.
- 現在 請… - 這不是合適的時候，是糟糕的時候 - Now, please... - It is not good time. It is bad time.
神的律法已被踐踏，"汝不可殺人" God's laws have been bust, thou shalt not kill.
"不可殺人"引自《聖經•舊約•申命記》5:17 和合本
我怎麼沒被第一時間通知到 先生[義大利語] 比安奇先生？ And why was I not notified at once, Signor... Mr. Bianchi?
- 我是跟他最近的人 - 而我跟兇手最近 - I was his nearest associate. - And I was nearest to his murderer.
你是說你看見那人了？你能認出兇手來？ You mean you saw the man? You can identify the murderer?
我完全不是這個意思 I mean nothing of the kind.
我是說昨晚我包間裡有個男人 I mean there was a man in my compartment last night.
當時漆黑一片，當然，我嚇得雙眼緊閉 It was pitch-dark, of course, and my eyes were closed in terror.
那你怎麼知道是男的？ Then how did you know it was a man?
因為我和我兩任丈夫的關係都很親密 Because I've enjoyed very warm relationships with both my husbands.
- 閉著眼睛？ - 所以我能認出來 - With your eyes closed? - That helped.
- 請原諒 - 不管怎樣，那人身上有煙味 - Excuse me. - Anyway, the man smelt of tobacco.
麥奎恩先生 波洛先生[法語]希望佔用你一點時間 Mr. McQueen, Monsieur Poirot would be grateful for a few minutes of your time.
- 請原諒 - 你不同意那個男人… - Excuse me. - Don't you agree the man
一定是進我的包間以便到雷切特先生那邊去嗎？ must've entered my compartment to gain access to Mr. Ratchett?
我想不出有其他原因，夫人 I can think of no other reason, Madame.
皮埃爾，你的總鑰匙 Pierre, your passkey.
這兒呢 波洛先生[法語] Voilà, monsieur.
你能悄悄給我搞一個女士的帽匣麼？ And will you discreetly procure me a lady's hatbox,
大的，老式的那種 one of the big, old-fashioned kind,
也許德拉戈米洛夫公主的女僕那裡有 perhaps from the Princess Dragomiroff's maid?
等我五分鐘，醫生 Give me five minutes, doctor.
麥奎恩先生，抱歉讓您久等 Mr. McQueen, I regret to have kept you waiting,
需要確認的事情太多了 but there has been much to establish.
請坐，麥奎恩先生，如果你能 Please be seated. Now, Mr. McQueen, I should be grateful
告訴我一些有用的東西，比方說… for anything you can usefully tell me. What, for example, is?
咱們先把幾件事情說清楚，波洛先生 Let's get just a couple of things straight first, Mr. Poirot.
比方說，你是誰？你在這裡是什麼身份？ Who, for example, are you, and what is your status here?
抱歉 Excuse me.
波洛先生[法語]是一位偵探 Monsieur Poirot is a detective,
正式受託調查此案，我授權的 officially delegated to investigate this case by me.
我們先從手邊的事情開始，你和雷切特先生的關係？ Let us proceed with the matter in hand. Your relationship with Ratchett?
我是他的…曾是他的秘書 I'm his... I was his secretary.
- 多久了？ - 一年，差不多 - For how long? - A year, give or take.
- 你們在哪裡遇見的？ - 在波斯 - Where did you meet? - In Persia.
他在收藏戈爾甘陶器，做得相當成功 He was collecting Gorgan pottery with considerable success.
戈爾甘: 伊朗中北部城鎮
而我正試圖獲取石油開採權 And I was trying to collect oil concessions, you know,
進展甚微，我破產失業了 with so little success that I went bankrupt,
他給了我這份工作，我就接受了 and he offered me the job. I took it.
- 從那之後呢？ - 我們四處旅行 - And since then? - Well, we've traveled around.
他不會任何外語，溝通受阻 He was hampered by not knowing any languages.
我更多扮演一個傳話員，而非秘書 I acted more as his courier than as his secretary.
是一份蠻愉快的工作 It was a pleasant enough job.
雷切特先生是美國哪裡人？ What part of America did Ratchett come from?
我不知道 I don't know.
事實上，他從未說過他的背景 The fact is, he never talked about his background.
- 為什麼呢，依你看？ - 我曾經… - Why, do you think? - Well, I used to...
起初我相信他離開美國… Well, I began to believe that he had left America
是為了躲避什麼事 to escape something, you know.
或什麼人 直到幾星期前我還認為他辦到了 Or someone. And until a couple of weeks ago, I think he succeeded.
然後呢？ And then?
嗯 他開始收到一些匿名信 Well, he began to get these anonymous letters,
恐嚇信，像這兩封 threatening letters, like these.
"我要殺死兇手" "I kill killers."
"做好死的準備" "Prepare to die."
- 挺簡短 - 但某種意義上，很複雜 - How brief. - But in a sense, how complicated.
昨晚，我注意到你在貝爾格勒車站發了封電報 Last night, I noticed you dispatching a telegram from Belgrade Station.
沒錯，我們一離開貝爾格勒 That's right. Let's see, he sent for me
他就叫我把電文給他看 to see the text right after we left Belgrade.
然後他就…對，那是我最後一次見到他 And then he went... Yeah, it was the last I ever saw of him.
還有別的恐嚇信嗎？ Were there any other threatening letters?
有，但哪封他都沒允許我看 Yeah, but none that I was allowed to read.
他總是... 總是燒掉它們 He used to... He used to burn them.
這就解釋了-- That explains...
什麼？ What?
我對帽匣的興趣 My interest in hatboxes.
正是我需要的 Precisely what I needed.
醫生，先說傷口 Doctor, first the wounds.
- 你數了十二個？ - 是的 - You counted a dozen? - Yes.
五個深的，其中三刀是致命的 Five are deep, of which three are lethal.
其餘的較淺 The rest are shallow.
有兩個 And two...
很輕微，就像是撓傷 ...are so slight as to be mere scratches.
這說明什麼呢？ What does that suggest?
有兩個兇手，一個強壯男人，一個瘦弱男人嗎？ That there were two murderers, a strong man and a weak man?
或是一個弱女子 Or a weak woman.
或者，一個強壯的男人刀刺受害者… Or a strong man stabbing the victim both strongly
又用力又不用力，意圖迷惑我們 and weakly in order to confuse us.
至少我們知道，謀殺發生的時候… At least we know that by the time of the murder,
雷切特被下了藥，不能呼喊或用這個自衛了 Ratchett was too drugged to cry out or defend himself with this.
可你是怎麼猜到？ But how did you guess?
不是猜的，是他給我看的，他想給我1萬5千美元 I didn't. He showed it to me when he offered me $15,000
做他的保鏢時，但我拒絕了 to be his bodyguard and I refused.
我是不是本應接受呢？ Ought I to have accepted?
現在，我們關注一下煙灰缸 Now, let us consider the ashtray.
兩種不同的火柴 Two different matches.
一支抽過的雪茄 A smoked cigar.
- 一根煙斗通條 - 還有這個 - A pipe cleaner... - And this.
- 首字母H - 這個應該不難辨別 - The initial H. - That should not be hard to identify.
不知這是教名還是姓名 I wonder, Christian name or surname?
我們得查了護照再說 We must wait until we examine the passports.
比安奇，醫生 Bianchi, doctor,
你們有沒有認識到，這包間裡的線索太多了？ has it occurred to you that there are too many clues in this room?
咱們繼續檢查這個，我希望這是最後一條線索 Let us proceed by examining what I hope will prove to be the last of them.
燒過的紙片 The burnt paper.
我用它來修整唇髭 I use it for the mustaches.
這和唇髭有什麼關係？ What has that to do with mustaches?
用來熔化蠟 To melt the wax.
觀察，記住，你們是我唯一的證人 Observe, memorize, you are my only witnesses.
- AISY ARMS - 這是什麼意思？ - A-l-S-Y A-R-M-S. - What does that mean?
意思是，我們知道雷切特先生的真實身份了 It means we know the true identity of Mr. Ratchett.
以及他為什麼必須離開美國 And why he had to leave America.
你記得阿姆斯壯案件嗎？ Do you remember the Armstrong case?
當然，那個美國小女孩遭綁架，還有殺害 Of course, the kidnapping of that little American girl, and the killing.
誰會不記得？ Who does not?
你記得那孩子的名字嗎？ Do you remember the name of the child?
當然[義大利語] 叫戴西 Certamente. It was Daisy.
D D.
DA D-A
ISY I-S-Y.
空格 ARMS Space, A-R-M-S.
戴西•阿姆斯壯 Daisy Armstrong.
- 雷切特就是殺她的兇手？ - 不，施行的兇手… - And Ratchett was her murderer? - Well, no, the actual murderer
已經受審、被判刑並處決了 was tried, sentenced and electrocuted.
但他只是二號人物 But he was only the number two.
是一個屬下，一開始他太害怕，不敢指認老闆 The subordinate of a boss whom, at first, he was too terrified to identify.
直到電刑當晚，他才給出了老闆的名字 Only on the eve of his electrocution did he give the name of the boss,
那時候，他早已帶著贖金消失了 who by then had disappeared with the ransom money.
我記得我當時感覺羞恥，那人有個義大利名字 I remember feeling ashamed that he had an Italian name.
卡塞蒂 Cassetti.
禽獸[義大利語] 手上沾滿了孩子的血 Che mostro. He had a child's blood on his hands.
他的罪比這還多 He had worse than that.
孩子的屍體被發現後 After the shock of the body's discovery,
阿姆斯壯太太早產生下一個死胎 Mrs. Armstrong gave premature birth to a stillborn child,
而她自己死於分娩 and herself died in the process.
她丈夫阿姆斯壯上校 Her husband, Colonel Armstrong,
曾經是蘇格拉衛隊的英勇軍官，舉槍自盡 once a brave officer in the Scots Guard, shot himself,
還有阿姆斯壯太太的私人女僕 and Mrs. Armstrong's personal maid,
因錯誤地受到共謀嫌疑 who came wrongly under suspicion of complicity,
從自己臥室跳窗而亡 threw herself from her bedroom window and she died,
五條人命，五條 so five deaths, five.
我感謝上蒼，這個惡棍，一輩子血債累累 Then I thank heaven that Giuseppe, who spilt so much blood in his lifetime,
現在該用自己的血來償還了 should have his own blood spilt now.
非常好，皮埃爾，你能把這些乘客帶來見我嗎 Excellent, Pierre. And could you summon the passengers to me here?
按此順序一個個來，除了德拉戈米洛夫公主 One by one in this order except for the Princess Dragomiroff,
她不但是王室血統，而且還比她想表現的老得多 who is not only of royal blood, but also much older than she tries not to look.
另外，皮埃爾 And, Pierre
既然你在這裡，我們就方便下 since you are here already, we can conveniently start
先開始詢問你 by questioning you.
你的全名是皮埃爾•保羅•蜜雪兒 Your full name is Pierre Paul Michel.
- 正是 先生[法語] - 兩位聖徒的名字啊 - Correct, monsieur. - Two male saints' names.
你肯定倍受神佑 You must be greatly blessed.
我有我那一份好運氣 先生[法語] I've had my share of good fortune, monsieur.
那麼…也有不幸，我注意到你妻子的照片 So... And of bad. I note the cancellation
大概在五年前被拿掉了 of your wife's photograph nearly five years ago.
- 她故去了 - 她死了 先生[法語] - She is deceased. - She died, monsieur.
因為我們…獨生女之死 Of grief at the death of our only daughter.
她得了猩紅熱 From scarlet fever.
我深感難過 I am truly sorry.
我們來談談不那麼痛苦的事 Let us talk of less distressing matters.
謀殺當晚，我們離開貝爾格勒後 On the night of the murder, after we left Belgrade,
最後回包間的乘客都是誰？ who were the last passengers to retire to their compartment?
在圖上指給我看 Show me on the diagram.
大約1點30分，我記得看見那位英國上校 About 1:30, I remember seeing the English colonel say good night
在3號4號包間外跟麥奎恩先生道晚安 to Mr. McQueen outside number three and four.
我看見他回到自己的包間，15號 I saw him walk back into his compartment, number 15,
再沒離開過 which he did not leave.
在那之後呢，沒人再出來嗎？ And after that, did no one reemerge?
沒有，但有位女士開了一道門 No, but there was one lady who opened a door,
我不知道是哪一間 I don't know which
然後朝衛生間方向去了 and walked in the direction of the toilet
就是走廊盡頭，靠餐車那邊的 at the far end of the corridor, next to the dining car.
- 你有沒有看到她回來？ - 沒有 先生[法語] - Did you see her return? - No, monsieur.
也許我正好去應鈴了 It is possible I was answering a bell.
啊，這提醒了我最後一點 That reminds me of a final point.
更早時候，剛過12點30分，你我都聽見雷切特先生 Much earlier, soon after 12:30, you and I both heard Mr. Ratchett
按了幾次鈴，然後道歉說只是個噩夢 ring his bell several times and then apologize for having had a nightmare.
沒事了，只是個噩夢[法語] Ce n'est rien. C'était un cauchemar.
你在回答雷切特先生的時候，是誰按了第二次鈴？ Who rang the second bell while you were answering Mr. Ratchett's?
是德拉戈米洛夫公主 先生[法語] The Princess Dragomiroff, monsieur.
她讓我把她的女僕叫來 She asked me to summon her maid.
謝謝你，皮埃爾，此刻就問這麼多吧 Thank you, Pierre. That is all for the moment.
他有作案的方法，能打開雷切特包間的總鑰匙 He had the means to do it. The passkey to Ratchett's room.
還有跟廚師借來的刀 And a knife borrowed from the chef.
跟他是一夥的 With whom he was in league.
用那把刀毫無目的地反復刺向… Which he plunged repeatedly and without motive into the body
他那正好受驚的受害者 of his suitably astonished victim.
不管怎樣，我們知道門不僅僅鎖著，還栓了鏈子 Anyway, we know the door was not only locked, but chained.
麥奎恩先生 Mr. McQueen.
從咱們上次談話以後 Since our last conversation,
我已經弄清你先前雇主的真實身份 I have learned the true identity of your late employer.
不會吧 You don't say.
雷切特，正如你自己所懷疑的，只是個化名 Ratchett was, as you yourself suspected, merely an alias.
他其實是卡塞蒂 He was, in fact, Cassetti.
那個匪徒，策劃了那起綁架殺害案 The gangster who masterminded the kidnapping and killing
小戴西•阿姆斯壯 of little Daisy Armstrong.
你對此一無所知嗎？ You had no idea of this?
是的，先生 Oh, no, sir.
要是我知道，我寧可剁掉右手，也不替他打那些爛信件 If I had, I'd have cut off my right hand so I couldn't type his lousy letters.
我還會用左手殺了他 And I'd have killed him with my left.
你覺得你自己本該完成這一善行？ You feel you could've done the good deed yourself?
我好像是有點在交代自己罪行一樣 It seems like I'm kind of incriminating myself.
要是你對你雇主的死表現過度悲痛 I should be more inclined to suspect you, Mr. McQueen,
我反倒會更懷疑你，麥奎恩先生 if you displayed an inordinate sorrow at your employer's decease.
悲痛？ Sorrow?
我爸爸，我父親，就是那個地方檢察官 My dad, my father, was the district attorney, yeah,
負責阿姆斯壯案件的 who handled the Armstrong case.
阿姆斯壯夫人和她丈夫兩次來過我們家 Mrs. Armstrong and her husband came to our house twice
尋求關於贖金的建議 for advice about the ransom money.
她很溫柔，又很害怕 She was gentle and frightened.
但還是在害怕中關心起一個… But not too frightened to take an interest in a young man
喜歡舞臺表演的年輕人 who wanted to go on the stage.
她甚至說她會寫信給… She even said she'd write to...
可還沒來得及寫，她就去世了 She died before she got around to that.
她對我的幫助就像是… She was as helpful to me as a...
嗯，母親一般 Well, a mother.
冒昧問個佛洛德式問題 Forgive a Freudian question.
西格蒙德•佛洛德 (1856-1939): 奧地利神經病學家 精神分析的奠基人
- 你愛你母親嗎？ - 是的 - Do you love your mother? - I did.
她去世時我八歲，一個敏感的年齡 She died when I was 8. An impressionable age.
你為什麼要問？ Why do you ask?
旅程的第一晚，咱們同住一個包間 We shared a compartment on the first night of our journey.
你在睡夢中兩次呼喊你母親 You cried out to your mother twice in your sleep.
是麼？ Did I?
我仍然會夢到她 I still dream about her.
繼續，告訴我，我情感遲鈍 Go on. Tell me. I'm emotionally retarded.
告訴我這就是我一直不結婚的原因 Tell me that's why I never married.
我不是來告訴你事情的，麥奎恩先生，該你來告訴我 I am not here to tell you anything, Mr. McQueen. You are here to tell me.
對，抱歉，嗯，只是有一件事 Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, there's just one thing.
你是怎麼… How did you...
搞清雷切特身份的呢？ ...figure out Ratchett's identity?
從他包間裡的一張字條上 By a message found in his compartment.
他本該燒掉的，我跟你說過 He'd have burnt that, though, as I told you.
他是燒了 He did.
對，他是燒了 Yeah, he did.
- 那你怎麼破解的？ - 靠一隻帽匣幫忙 - Then how did you decipher? - With the help of a hatbox.
謝謝你，麥奎恩先生 Thank you, Mr. McQueen.
他幹的，他殺了卡塞蒂 He did it. He murdered Cassetti.
他幾乎坦白了 He practically confessed as much.
我看…不不 I...No
心理學上講不通 the psychology is wrong.
一個敏感、沒有母親的男孩，對一位女士滿腔熱忱 A sensitive, motherless boy conceives a passion for a lady
全然出於對她的溫柔的仰慕 whom he admires above all for her gentleness.
而仰慕著這種溫柔的麥奎因，可能… Now, could McQueen, admiring the gentleness,
犯下如此骯髒的謀殺，而不背叛這種溫柔嗎？ commit so foul a murder without betraying the gentleness
那位我們可稱之為他的仙女教母 of what we might call his fairy godmother?
教母 Godmother.
你意外說出了一些有價值的話 Now you have accidentally said something valuable.
進來 Come.
貝多斯先生，這並不是審訊，只是一次調查 Mr. Beddoes, this is not an inquisition, only an inquiry.
你昨晚9點40分左右，給雷切特先生送纈草鎮靜劑時 When you took Mr. Ratchett his valerian drops about 9:40 yesterday evening
他已經上床了嗎？ was he already in bed?
是的，先生，雷切特先生在火車上總是早早休息 That is so, sir. Mr. Ratchett always retired early on trains.
他臨睡前，你的職責是做些什麼？ What were your duties before leaving him for the night?
把鎮靜劑放在他夠得著的地方，先生 To place the valerian drops within reach, sir.
- 貝多斯 - 先生 - Beddoes. - Sir?
這是你晚餐時放我桌上的嗎？ Did you put this on my table during dinner?
- 不是，先生 - 那是誰幹的？ - No, sir. - Then who the hell did?
我一無所知，先生 I have no idea, sir.
我能問問是什麼嗎？ May I ask what it is?
這是什麼，完全不幹你的事 What it is, is none of your damn business.
我想知道它是怎麼來的 I wanna know how it got here.
- 還有別的事嗎，先生？ - 有啊 - Will there be anything more, sir? - There will.
告訴麥奎恩先生我要見他，馬上 Tell Mr. McQueen I wanna see him, now.
好的，先生 Very well, sir.
您想明早什麼時候叫醒您，先生？ At what time would you like to be called in the morning, sir?
不要早於10點 Not before 10.
好的，先生 Very good, sir.
- 這是否正常？ - 算是的 先生 - Was that usual? - Oh, quite, sir, yes.
他的早餐就是琥珀之月 His breakfast was his amber moon.
藥效充分發揮前他從不起床 He never rose until it had had its full effect.
所以，你通知了麥奎恩先生 So you instructed Mr. McQueen
然後回到自己的包間 and then returned to your own compartment,
1號和2號鋪 the number one and two,
上鋪是福斯卡雷裡先生[義大利語] 對嗎？ whose upper berth was occupied by Signor Foscarelli.
是的，先生，那位義大利人 Oh, yes, sir, the Italian person.
- 他說英語嗎？ - 算是英語吧，先生 - Does he speak English? - A kind of English, sir.
我想他是在一個叫芝加哥的地方學的 I think he learned it in a place called Chicago.
你們常聊天嗎？ Did you talk together much?
不，先生，我寧可讀書 Oh, no, sir. I prefer to read.
嘿，你在讀什麼，貝多斯先生？ Hey, what are you reading, Mr. Beddoes?
《愛的俘虜》 阿拉貝拉•裡查森太太寫的 Love's Captive, by Mrs. Arabella Richardson.
內容三點畢露？ Is it about sex?
不，現在大概10點半，福斯卡雷裡先生 No, it's about 10:30, Mr. Foscarelli.
答得真好 "大概10點半" I like that. "It's about 10:30."
- 那之後你就睡了？ - 沒有 先生 - And after that you went to sleep. - Oh, no, sir.
到淩晨4點才睡著，很不幸，我牙疼 Not until 4 in the morning. Unfortunately, I had the toothache.
- 你的室友呢？ - 他鼾聲不斷 - And your companion? - He snored incessantly.
最後一個問題，你是怎麼被雷切特先生聘用的呢？ One final point. How did you come to be employed by Mr. Ratchett?
通過麥鮑姆斯，紐約那家大仲介 Through Maibaums, sir, the big agency in New York.
你可以在他們的名冊裡找到我 You'll find me on their books.
在那之前呢？ And before then?
我在軍隊裡，先生，當二等兵 I was in the army, sir, as a private soldier.
- 哪裡？ - 土倫，先生 - Where? - Troon, sir.
- 在遠東？ - 哦，不，在蘇格蘭 - In the Far East? - Oh, no, sir, in Scotland.
土倫: 英國南艾爾郡的一個小鎮
哦 蘇格蘭 Oh, Scotland.
請原諒，我只是個無知的比利時人 Oh, forgive me. I am only an ignorant Belgian.
比利時人，先生？我一直以為您是法國人 Oh, a Belgian, sir? I always thought you were French.
比利時人 Belgian.
你知道雷切特先生的義大利出身嗎？ Did you know that Mr. Ratchett was of Italian extraction?
噢，這倒說明了他的火爆脾氣 So that accounts for his hot temper.
他的真名是卡塞蒂 His real name was Cassetti.
這名字你沒有印象？ The name means nothing to you?
你記得阿姆斯壯案件嗎？ Do you remember the Armstrong case?
不記得，先生，哦，對了對了 No, sir. Oh, yes, yes.
那個小女孩 The little girl.
卡塞蒂，是殺害她的元兇 Cassetti was responsible for her murder.
- 這對你有何啟發？ - 我總是想，先生 - How does that strike you? - I have often thought, sir,
與其雇主找我們要介紹信 that instead of our employers requiring references from us,
我們更應該找雇主要介紹信 we should require references from them.
謝謝你，貝多斯先生 Thank you, Mr. Beddoes.
請別起身，先生，還有別的事嗎？ Oh, please don't get up, sir. Will there be anything else?
沒有，就這些 No, that is all.
他幹的，管家幹的 He did it. The butler did it.
他經常接近雷切特 He had constant access to Ratchett.
他可以親手在鎮靜劑裡下毒，再拿給他主人 He himself could have poisoned the valerian before bringing it to his master.
說到心理學 As for the psychological,
天知道那件拘謹的衣服底下 well, who knows what boils and bubbles beneath that stiff shirt
沸騰著何等樣的職業怨恨 to which his profession has called him.
他不是在讀《愛的俘虜》嗎？ Did he not read Love's Captive?
就這你還說是他捅了雷切特先生？ At a time when you suggest he should have been stabbing Mr. Ratchett?
我擔心援助就快到了 I fear that help is at hand.
即使只是一支帶著鋤和鏟的工人小隊 Even if it is only a working party with picks and shovels,
我們一定要在抵達布羅德之前完成偵訊 we must make haste to complete this inquiry before we reach Brod.
萬一那是輛鏟雪車，我們的麻煩就真的開始了 If it is an engine with a snowplow, our troubles will really begin.
- 下一個是誰? - 赫伯德太太 - Who's next? - Mrs. Hubbard.
哦 我的上帝 Oh, my God.
那聲汽笛說明救援快到了，太太 The whistle means that help is near, Madame.
- 也正是時候 - 時間最要緊，赫伯德太太 - And high time too. - Time is what counts, Mrs. Hubbard,
如果我們要在抵達布羅德前完成問詢 if we are to complete this inquiry before reaching Brod.
因此我會儘量簡潔提問，希望你的回答同樣簡潔 I will therefore make my questions as brief as I hope you will make your answers
你越是簡單地回答"是"或"不是"就越好 and the more often you can confine yourself to a simple yes or no, the better.

赫伯德太太，我偶然聽到你跟皮埃爾的對話 Mrs. Hubbard, I overheard the whole of your conversation with Pierre
說謀殺當晚剛過1點，你房間裡有個男人 about there being a man in your room soon after 1:00 on the night of the murder.
再跟我說一下 Tell me one thing more.
那道通往雷切特先生包間的門 Wasn't the door locked on your side of the door
在你上床前，你這一側是否鎖上了？ that communicated with Mr. Ratchett's compartment when you went to bed?

什麼意思，就你所知？ What do you mean, as far as you know?
你從床上看不到插銷麼？ Could you not see the bolt from the bed?

皮埃爾檢查過插銷，就在我按鈴叫他 Pierre checked the bolt after I rang my bell
告訴他我包間裡有個男人之後 and told him there had been a man hiding in my compartment.
對對，這些我們都知道了 Yes, yes, we know all about that.

"哈麗特"和"赫伯德"都是H，但它仍舊不是我的 H for Harriet, H for Hubbard, but it's still not mine.
我的都是實惠的，不是昂貴的巴黎貨 Mine are sensible things, not expensive Paris frills.
那樣的手絹有什麼好？ What good's a hankie like that to anybody?
打個噴嚏就得送去洗衣房 One sneeze and it has to go to the laundry.
噢，赫伯德太太 Oh, Mrs. Hubbard,
你在這個困難的案子裡給我幫了不少忙 you have afforded me a great deal of help in this difficult case.
謝謝你，也許我可以這麼表達：扮演了你的角色 Thank you, if I may so express it, for playing your part.
如果你需要我再來，我隨時待命 If you need me again, I'll be around.
皮埃爾一個紐扣都沒掉 Not one of Pierre's buttons is missing,

哦 別哭了 別哭了 Oh, there, there, there, there.
我確信上帝會饒恕你的，奧爾森小姐 I'm sure that God will forgive you, Miss Ohlsson,
也許更重要的是，同樣會饒恕你父母親 and perhaps, which is more important, so will your father and mother.
看 Now...

火車駛離溫科齊夫後，她有沒有離開過鋪位？ After the train left Vinkovci, did she leave her berth?
沒有[瑞典語] 她跟我一樣睡了 Nej, she sleep just like me.
如果你很快入睡了，怎麼能肯定她沒離開過呢？ If you were fast asleep, how could you be so sure she did not leave?
在希莫加傳教時，我能聽見蛇的呼吸 In Shimoga Mission, I can hear snake breathe.
希莫加: 印度卡納塔克邦(舊稱邁索爾邦)西部城市
我肯定知道 I would know.

麥奎恩，在他的包間裡 McQueen, in his compartment.
他對印度的未來有興趣，有點兒不切實際 He was interested in the future of India, a bit impractical.
他認為英國應該撤出 He thought the British ought to move out.
你們聊了多長時間？ How long did you stay yarning after that?
到1點30分，我... Till 1:30. It's...
我稱之為“三鬥煙奇談” It's what I call a three-pipe yarn.
阿巴斯諾特上校，你是加來車廂上唯一抽“煙豆”的乘客 Colonel Arbuthnott, you are the only passenger in the Calais coach who smokes a "pipe".
- 好像是這麼回事兒 - 那這個 - So it would appear. - Then this...
一定是，你的煙豆通條 ...must be your "pipe" cleaner.
一個牌子 It's the same brand.
這是在死者床頭的煙灰缸裡發現的 It was found in an ashtray by the dead man's bedside.
那就是有人栽贓，是根用過的“煙豆”通條 Then someone planted it there. It's a used "pipe" cleaner.
要麼你以為我有這麼蠢 Or are you suggesting that I'm fool enough
進入雷切特的小間，殺了他 to have entered Ratchett's cabin, murdered him,
清理我的“煙豆”，離開前把通條留在煙灰缸裡？ cleaned my "pipe" and dropped it in the ashtray before leaving?
不，阿巴斯諾特上校 No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
德本漢小姐 Miss Debenham.
- 我能留下嗎? - 不能 阿巴斯諾特上校 - Can I stay? - No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
請坐 Please be seated.
請原諒，德本漢小姐，我必須扼要地問 Forgive me, Miss Debenham, I must be brief.
你在巴格達遇到阿巴斯諾特上校，一起墜入愛河 You met Colonel Arbuthnott and fell in love with each other in Baghdad.
為什麼英國人一定要隱藏毫無瑕疵的感情？ Why must the English conceal even their most impeccable emotions?
回答你的敏銳觀察力 To answer your observations in order,
當然了，沒錯，沒錯 of course, yes, yes,
而我也不知道為什麼 and I don't know.
那我來告訴你你知道的，在博斯普魯斯海峽渡船上 Then let me tell you what you do know, that on the Bosporus Ferryboat
我無意中聽到，你與上校的一段談話 I overheard a part of your conversation with the colonel.
現在不行，現在不行，等一切都結束，等一切都過去，到那時 "Not now, not now. When it's all over. When it's behind us, then."
等什麼都結束，德本漢小姐？ When what was all over, Miss Debenham?
等什麼都已過去？ And when what was behind you?
是某個必須要執行的任務？ Was it some task that had to be performed?
某個必須忍受的考驗？ Some ordeal that had to be endured?
某個必須實施的黑暗行動？ Some dark deed that had to be dispatched?
波洛先生，這裡頭任何一個問題我都無法輕易回答 Mr. Poirot, I'm not at liberty to answer any of those questions.
在這列火車上，也許可以 Not here on this train, perhaps.
但當南斯拉夫警方在布羅德接手這個未解的謀殺案時 But when the Yugoslav police take over an unsolved murder case at Brod,
你不回答問題可就不行了 you will not remain at liberty unless you answer the questions.
我總可以打長途給我的律師吧 I can always call my lawyers long-distance.
這是我和上校之間的私人問題 This is a private matter between the colonel and myself.
德本漢小姐，在謀殺案中，沒有什麼事是私人的 Miss Debenham, in a murder case, no matter is private
而且回避招致懷疑 and evasion breeds suspicion,
所以回答我，等什麼都結束？ so answer my question. When what was all over?
等什麼都已過去? 請回答 When what was behind you? Please answer the question.
你就留在這裡直到我得到答案 You will remain here until I get an answer from you.
我的上校[法語] 別 波洛先生[法語]強烈反對-- Mon colonel, please, Monsieur Poirot has expressly forbidden...
波洛無權這麼做，他太過分了，這是件私事 Poirot has no right, he's out of order. This is a private matter.
求求您 上校先生[法語] Je vous en prie, mon colonel.
- 上校先生[法語] - 別擋路 - Mon colonel. - Out of my way.
回答我 等什麼都結束？ So answer my question. When what was all over?
等什麼都已過去? 回答我 When what was behind? Answer my question.
把你的手從德本漢小姐身上拿開 Get your hands off Miss Debenham.
我沒意識到我的手碰著德本漢小姐了 I was not aware that I was keeping my hands on Miss Debenham.
我問了她一個簡單的問題 I asked her a simple question
- 可她就是不說 - 我聽到了 - which she refused to answer. - So I heard.
那麼，也許你能替她回答 Then perhaps you can answer it for her.
你能對我莊嚴發誓嗎 Can you give me your solemn oath,
作為一個外國人 as a foreigner,
如果答案跟謀殺毫無關係 that if the answer has nothing to do with the murder,
你能保守秘密嗎？ you'll treat it confidentially?
我發誓 I will.
六個月前，我認識德本漢小姐之前 Six months ago, before I'd even met Miss Debenham,
- 我的內人... - 什麼？ - my memsahib... - Come again?
我的妻子 My wife
說她厭倦了，不單是在印度的生活，還有… expressed herself bored, not only at living in India, but
跟我的生活 at living with me.
然後，要求我跟她離婚 And asked me to provide her with a divorce.
以我的地位，廓爾喀第12團的指揮官，我拒絕了 In view of my position, commanding officer, 12th Gurkhas, I refused.
廓爾喀: 今尼泊爾中部地區
不拒絕的話，我就會丟了指揮權 Well, had I not, I should have lost my command.
我妻子回到英格蘭 My wife returned to England
出現了無可辯駁的證據，證明她頻繁地… where there is irrefutable evidence that she has been persistently
對我不忠 unfaithful to me.
因此我開始了離婚程式 I have therefore instituted divorce proceedings
因為她成了過錯方 in which she is cited as the guilty party.
等這些手續都已過去 And when those proceedings are behind us,
等這些手續都結束 when those proceedings are all over...
我就會向德本漢小姐求婚 ...I propose to marry Miss Debenham.
同時 Meanwhile,
至關重要的是，在英國法律上，我們的… it is of vital importance, under English law, that our...
舉動 ...behavior...
不能提供反訴證據 ...should not provide evidence for counter-proceedings
給我妻子 by my wife.
這回答了你的問題嗎？ Does that answer your question?
這個嘛 Well...
當然是一種回答 ...it is certainly an answer.
醫生，皮埃爾完全恢復了嗎？ Doctor, is Pierre sufficiently recovered?
- 完全好了 - 我們能走了嗎？ - Fully. - May we go?
可以了，我擔保我們外國人也是守口如瓶的 You may, with my assurance that our foreigners' lips shall be sealed.
抱歉要是傷了那個夥計 Sorry if I hurt the lad.
被激怒了 Provocation.
他們可能合夥幹的，她不露鋒芒，她很強大 They could have done it together. She has hidden fires. She is very strong.
你為什麼不問她去過美國沒有？ Why did you not ask her if she had been to America?
因為我不需要問 Because I did not need to.
皮埃爾，上校為他的行為想你道歉[法語] Pierre, le colonel s'excuse de son geste.
謝謝您，先生[法語] Merci, monsieur.
福斯卡雷裡先生[義大利語] Signor Foscarelli.
你是入籍美國的公民？ You are a naturalized American subject?
- 千真萬確 - 多長時間了？ - You bet. - For how long?
七年了 我記得具體的日期是--[義大利語] Seven years. Mi ricordo del giorno preciso quando...
直接回答就行了[義大利語] Faccia di rispondere alle domande.
要不然，他跟你叨嘮會比你要問他的話還多 Otherwise, he will detain you longer than you would detain him.
你是汽車銷售人員 You are a motorcar salesman.
千真萬確，美國車賣給義大利人 You bet. American automobiles to Italians.
你認識卡塞蒂嗎？ Did you know Cassetti?
完全不認識 應該是個"黑手黨"[義大利語] Not on your sweet life. Era Mafioso.
他說他是黑手黨 He says he was Mafia.
- 真的麼? - 對 - Really? - Yes.
你猜是…是誰殺了他呢？ Who do you? Who do you think killed him?
- 另一個黑手黨[義大利語] - 他說"另一個黑手黨" - Un altro Mafioso. - He says another Mafia.
他們總是自相殘殺，用刀或槍 They are always killing each other with a knife or with a gun...
你為什麼把這把匕首帶來了？ Why did you bring this dagger from the place?
因為我在我的化妝包裡發現了它 Because I found it in my makeup bag.
瞧[義大利語] 我說什麼來著 Ecco, what did I say?
不是刀就是槍，是兩個黑手黨的仇殺 Knives or guns. It's a vendetta between two Mafiosi.
把匕首給我 Give me the dagger.
你上次打開化妝包是什麼時候？ When did you last open your makeup bag?
昨天晚上，我把所有東西都拿出來了 Yesterday evening, when I took everything out.
既然你把東西都拿出來了，又打開它做什麼呢？ If you took everything out, why did you need to reopen it?
因為我要放些東西回去 Because I was putting something back in.
你可以放心了，赫伯德太太 You may set your mind at rest, Mrs. Hubbard.
- 那顆丟失的紐扣 - 正是 - The missing button. - Precisely,
我可以跟你保證，這套衣服的主人現在已不在車上 and I can assure you the owner of the tunic is not now on the train.
你要回餐車嗎？ Are you going back to the dining car?
我得說是的，你覺得這事之後我還能這麼快回包廂嗎？ I'll say I am. Do you think I could face my compartment so soon after that?
你能否請領班乘務員… Would you kindly ask the chief attendant
擺好桌椅嗎? 這樣比安奇先生[義大利語] to arrange the tables and chairs so that Signor Bianchi,
康斯坦丁醫生以及我… Dr. Constantine and myself
就可以對乘客們解決這個謀殺案了 can confront the passengers with the solution of the murder?
我的話對破案[義大利語]起了作用 I... I help with the risoluzione.
是的，要是你能再簡要回答兩個問題的話 Yes, if you will briefly answer two more questions.
問吧 Shoot.
謀殺當晚 On the night of the murder,
貝多斯先生離開過包間嗎？ did Mr. Beddoes leave the compartment?
沒有，他因為牙疼叫得跟殺豬一樣 No. No, he grunt like a pig with the pain in his teeth.
另外，你為私人服務過嗎？ And have you ever been in private service?
沒有 No.
謝謝 問完了 Thank you. That is all.
- 對不起 先生 - 好 - Excuse me, sir. - Yes.
怎麼樣[法語] 醫生？ Enfin, doctor?
這是人血 This blood is human.
這柄匕首，可能在兩隻不同的手裡 This dagger could, in two different hands,
刺出了那些傷口 have inflicted all of the wounds.
你已經知道誰是兇手了吧？ And you know who inflicted them?
咱們最後的偵訊多少得賭一下 Our last interrogation will be something of a gamble.
要是成功了 But if it succeeds...
我們就知道了 ...we'll know.
進來，進來，請坐 Come in, come in. Please be seated.
你是塞洛斯•B•哈德曼，劇場代理人？ You are Cyrus B. Hardman, a theatrical agent.
不是 No.
我是說，我不是劇場代理人 I mean, I'm... I'm not a theatrical agent.
那是偽造的，是平克頓事務所憑執照幫我弄的 That's a phony, issued to me under license by Pinkerton's.
- 那家偵探社？ - 伊斯坦布爾分所 - The detective agency? - Stamboul branch.
雷切特找他們雇美國保鏢，他們就派我來了 Ratchett asked them for an American bodyguard, they sent me.
我…我做得不太好 I... didn't do so hot.
你能證明這是你此行的原因嗎？ Can you prove this was the reason for your journey?
- 是波蕾特 - 波蕾特 - It's Paulette. - Paulette.
波蕾特•蜜雪兒 Paulette Michel.
我不能再裝下去了 Now I can stop pretending to be anything.
女士們先生們，請聽我說兩句 Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please.
我懇請諸位在波洛先生[法語] May I respectfully suggest that there should be no talking
講話的時候不要說話，如果誰想做出陳述 while Monsieur Poirot addresses you. If anyone wishes to make a statement,
他或她可以在結尾說 he or she can do so at the meeting's end.
謝謝 Thank you.
女士們先生們，你們都知道，一個殘忍的殺人犯 Ladies and gentlemen, you are all aware that a repulsive murderer
被殘忍謀殺了，也許是他罪有應得 has himself been repulsively and perhaps deservedly murdered.
怎麼被殺的? 又是為什麼？ How and why?
這裡有個簡單的答案 Here is the simple answer.
有證據支持此理論：兇手完全是個陌生人 There is evidence supporting the theory that the murderer was a stranger to us all.
剛過淩晨1點15分，赫伯德太太察覺她包間裡有個男人 Mrs. Hubbard was conscious of a man in her compartment soon after 1:15 a.m.
她後來在床邊發現，一顆車廂乘務員制服上的紐扣 She later found near her bedside the button of a wagon-lit conductor.
施米特小姐[德語]發現，藏在她箱子裡的 Fräulein Schmidt discovered, planted in her suitcase,
一套乘務員制服 the uniform of a conductor,
這套制服跟皮埃爾不合身 which could not possibly have fitted Pierre,
而上面，確實掉了一顆紐扣 and from which, in fact, there was a button missing.
在那條制服褲子裡 And in the trouser pocket of the uniform
有一把乘務員用的萬能鑰匙 was a conductor's passkey.
再後來，赫伯德太太發現了這柄血污的匕首 Later still, Mrs. Hubbard discovered this bloodstained dagger,
康斯坦丁醫生已經確認 which Dr. Constantine confirms
可能就是兇器 could have been the murderer's weapon.
明顯的含義是，兇手… The obvious implication is that the murderer,
扮成一名乘務員，在貝爾格勒上車 disguised as a conductor, boarded the train at Belgrade,
用萬能鑰匙打開了 made his way by means of the convenient passkey
雷切特的包間，刺死了他 to Ratchett's compartment, stabbed him to death,
藏好匕首和制服 planted the dagger and the uniform,
然後趁著火車困在雪堆裡，溜走了 and then departed, since the train was now halted in a snowdrift.
他是誰？ Who was he?
我傾向於同意福斯卡雷裡先生的看法 I am inclined to agree with Mr. Foscarelli,
他相信那是一名黑手黨對手 who believes that he was a rival member of the Mafia,
出於世仇而私下報復 exacting private vengeance for a vendetta
他的身份，南斯拉夫警方無疑會查清 whose precise nature the Yugoslav police will undoubtedly identify.
但是 But...
- 這就是全部嗎？ - 不不不 - ...is that all? - No. No, no, no, no.
不，不是 No, it is not.
我說了，這是簡單的答案 I said, here is the simple answer.
還有一個更為… There is also a more...
複雜的答案 ...complex one.
但請記住我的第一個解答，在我… But remember my first solution when I...
在你們聽第二個的時候 When you've heard my second.
現在，讓我們來設想完全有可能的情況 Let us, for the moment, assume what is perfectly plausible,
即那神秘的陌生人並不存在 that the mysterious stranger did not exist.
那麼，謀殺必定是加來車廂上的某個人或某幾個人實施的 The murder must then have been committed by some person or persons in the Calais coach
因而，就在這節餐車裡 and therefore are present in this dining car.
讓我們暫時先別問"怎麼殺的" Let us not, for the moment, ask the question "how"
而問問“為什麼”，這樣將告訴我們“怎麼殺的” but the question "why", which will tell us how.
我並不驚訝，你們每個人… I was not surprised that every single one of you
都聽說過那起臭名昭著的阿姆斯壯案件 should have heard of the notorious Armstrong case.
但我承認，我詢問第一位乘客時有點驚訝 But I confess to a mild surprise when the first passenger I interrogated,
麥奎恩先生 Mr. McQueen...
出於情緒緊張，承認… ...admitted, under emotional stress,
他其實認識阿姆斯壯夫人，即使只是稍微認識 that he had actually known Mrs. Armstrong, albeit very slightly.
她很溫柔，又很害怕 She was gentle and frightened.
但還是在害怕中關心起一個… But not too frightened to take an interest in a young man
喜歡舞臺表演的年輕人 who wanted to go on the stage.
麥奎恩先生說從不知道雷切特是卡塞蒂的時候 Was Mr. McQueen lying when he denied ever having
是在撒謊嗎？ known that Ratchett was Cassetti?
或者他當雷切特的秘書 Or did he become Ratchett's secretary
只是周密計畫的一部分，目的是為阿姆斯壯夫人之死復仇？ as part of a deliberate plan to avenge Mrs. Armstrong's death?
只有在問了其他乘客之後，我才有望看到光明 Only by interrogating the other passengers could I hope to see the light.
但是，當我開始詢問他們時 But when I began to question them,
那光明，如馬克白所說，變厚了 the light, as Macbeth would have said, thickened.
當我告訴德拉戈米洛夫公主，我知道她是… When I told the Princess Dragomiroff that I knew she was
阿姆斯壯夫人的教母時 Mrs. Armstrong's godmother,
她對我後來問題的回答，非常… her answers to my subsequent questions smelled strongly
不精確而又躲閃 of inaccuracy and evasion.
我這讀報的人所知道的，都多過… Even I knew more from reading the newspaper reports
她這位常常登門的客人 than she from her frequent visits.
不是有個司機嗎？ Was there not a chauffeur?
有的 先生[法語] 但我自己有司機，從沒用過他 There was, monsieur, but I had my own. I never used him.
躲閃！阿姆斯壯夫人的貼身女僕叫什麼名字？ Evasion. What was the name of Mrs. Armstrong's personal maid?
我總是帶著自己的女僕旅行，先生[法語] I always travel with my own maid, monsieur.
沒必要跟阿姆斯壯的女僕講話 There was no need to speak with Mrs. Armstrong's.
躲閃，我問到那個男僕的詳細情況 Evasion. I asked for particulars of the manservant.
他曾經，我想是上校的印度--怎麼稱呼來著--勤務兵 He was, I think, the colonel's Indian, how you would say, orderly.
不精確 Inaccuracy.
阿姆斯壯上校是駐印度的英軍軍官 Colonel Armstrong was an officer of the British army in India.
他應該有個英國勤務兵，比如二等兵貝多斯 He would have had a British batman, like Private Beddoes,
來為他個人服務 to serve his personal needs.
只有印軍軍官 Only officers of the Indian army,
比如阿巴斯諾特上校，才會有印度勤務兵 like Colonel Arbuthnott, have Indian orderlies.
我問她阿姆斯壯夫人妹妹的名字 I asked her the name of Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister.
我想不起她的名字了 I do not recall her name.
難以置信的躲閃 Unbelievable evasion.
我問她阿姆斯壯夫人秘書的名字 I asked her the name of Mrs. Armstrong's secretary.
是的，一位弗裡博迪小姐 Yes, a Miss Freebody.
不，簡直不可能[法語] Non, c'est impossible ça.
公主，似乎在玩文字聯想的心理遊戲 The princess, it seems, is playing the psychological game of word association.
弗裡博迪，是一個次級合夥人的名字 Freebody is the name of the junior partner
是倫敦一家最有名，最繁華的女士用品商店 of one of London's most famous and most opulent ladies' stores
是公主本人也許經常光顧的那種店 of the sort perhaps patronized by the princess herself.
而主要合夥人的名字，是德本漢 The name of the senior partner is Debenham.
德本漢&弗裡博迪商店 Debenham and Freebody.
公主是在為我們的德本漢小姐打掩護嗎？ Was the princess covering up for our Miss Debenham,
小姐在巴格達教速記 who taught shorthand in Baghdad?
她能告訴我們，阿姆斯壯夫人的妹妹的名字嗎？ Can she tell us the name of Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister?
那麼，我來告訴你們她的教名和婚前的姓吧 Then I will tell you her Christian and her maiden name.
當我問德拉戈米洛夫公主，能否告訴我… When I asked the Princess Dragomiroff if she could tell me
她的教女阿姆斯壯夫人婚前的姓時 the maiden name of her goddaughter, Mrs. Armstrong,
作為教母，她不可能聲稱不知道，她回答說 she could not possibly, as a godmother, plead ignorance of this. She replied...
格林伍德 Greenwood.
格林伍德在德語中正是葛籣瓦爾特 Grunwald is the German for Greenwood.
公主的猶豫令我確信… The princess's hesitation persuades me
德語Grünwald和英語Greenwood的意思均為"綠樹"
葛籣瓦爾特是其教女阿姆斯壯夫人真正的婚前姓 that Grunwald was the true maiden name of her goddaughter, Mrs. Armstrong.
而這位安德列伯爵夫人 And that the Countess Andrenyi
就是阿姆斯壯夫人在世的妹妹？ is Mrs. Armstrong's surviving younger sister.
她的教名是海琳娜 Her Christian name is Helena.
不是愛琳娜，不不不 Not Elena. No, no, no.
而是海琳娜 But Helena.
那她教名的首字母H到哪兒去了呢？ And where did she lose her Christian name's initial H?
就在她丈夫的護照上一塊方便的油漬下面 She lost it under a convenient grease spot in her husband's passport.
而那塊油漬又為什麼故意出現呢？ And why was the grease spot purposely applied?
因為她和她丈夫害怕… Because she and her husband were afraid
這條繡著首字母H的手絹 that this handkerchief, bearing the initial H...
可能會讓我懷疑她與謀殺有牽連 ...might lead me to suspect her of complicity in the murder.
我在上帝面前以紳士的名譽起誓 I swear before God and on my word of honor as a gentleman,
這條手絹不是我太太的 that this handkerchief does not belong to my wife.
不不不 不是 No, no, no, no, no, no. Not at...
不不不 No. No. No. No. No.
它不是 It does not.
既不是哈麗特•貝琳達•赫伯德太太的 No. Nor does it belong to Mrs. Harriet Belinda Hubbard.
也不是希爾德加德•施米特小姐[德語]的 Nor to Fräulein Hildegarde Schmidt,
忠心是她的優良品質 whose finest quality is her loyalty.
首字母錯了 The initial is wrong.
公主的名字是什麼？ What is the princess's first name?
娜塔麗亞 先生[德語] 那是個俄國名字 Natalia, mein Herr. It is a Russian name.
在俄語 或者說西瑞爾字母表中 In the Russian, or Cyrillic, alphabet,
大寫的N their capital N
就像我們的大寫的H is written like our capital H.
西瑞爾字母: 一種字母體系 為信奉東正教的操斯拉夫語的諸民族所用
公主殿下[法語] Madame la Princess,
這條昂貴的手絹是否應該停止展覽 should this costly handkerchief cease to remain an exhibit,
還給您忠實的女僕去洗一洗呢？ it will be returned to your loyal maid for laundering.
又或者希爾德加德•施米特真是您的女僕嗎？ Or is Hildegarde Schmidt really your maid?
我的鼻子可能對美食比較敏感，於是設了個圈套 I have, perhaps, a nose for the aura of fine food and laid a trap.
你是個好廚子，不是嗎？ You are a good cook, are you not?
我的女主人們都這麼說，我... All my ladies have said so. I...
如果你是個貼身女僕 If you are a lady's maid,
你的女主人們永遠沒機會知道你是不是好廚子 your ladies never have a chance of discovering if you are a good cook.
希爾德加德•施米特這樣的好廚子一定是 As good a cook as Hildegarde Schmidt must have been
阿姆斯壯家的 to the Armstrong household.
就是這樣[法語] Enfin.
這車廂裡我們知道都有誰 Who do we now have here in this car...
有可能認識，或有可能有關聯 ...that could have known or could have been involved
跟阿姆斯壯家 with the Armstrong household?
我們的第一個，麥奎恩先生 We have, one, Mr. McQueen,
在綁架案發生時，孩子氣地傾心于阿姆斯壯夫人 who became boyishly devoted to Mrs. Armstrong at the time of the kidnapping.
第二個，德拉戈米洛夫公主 Two, the Princess Dragomiroff,
阿姆斯壯夫人摯愛的教母 who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted godmother.
第三個，安德列伯爵夫人 Three, the Countess Andrenyi,
阿姆斯壯夫人摯愛的妹妹 who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted younger sister.
第四個，安德列伯爵 Four, the Count Andrenyi,
海琳娜摯愛的丈夫 who is Helena's devoted husband
也是阿姆斯壯夫人摯愛的妹夫 and Mrs. Armstrong's devoted brother-in-law.
第五個，希爾德加德•施米特，阿姆斯壯夫人忠實的廚娘 Five, Hildegarde Schmidt, who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted cook.
第六個，瑪麗•德本漢 阿姆斯壯夫人忠實的秘書 Six, Mary Debenham, who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted secretary.
德本漢小姐這條純屬猜測 Miss Debenham's inclusion is pure conjecture.
我不需要問德本漢小姐 I did not have to ask Miss Debenham
她是否在美國住過 if she had ever lived in America,
因為在詢問中，她說 because during her interrogation, she said...
我總可以打長途給我的律師 I can always call my lawyers long-distance.
沒在美國生活過的英國女人會說 An Englishwoman who had never lived in America would have said,
“我總可以長途呼叫我的法律顧問” "I can always make a trunk call to my solicitors."
"長途電話"英式英語(漸舊)是truck call 美式英語是long-distance call solicitor在英式英語裡意為事務律師
同樣[法語] 我還得感謝抽煙鬥的阿巴斯諾特上校 Tout de même, I must thank the pipe-smoking Colonel Arbuthnott,
他的一句話最終解決了我的全部困惑，在此… for a remark which finally resolved all my confusions about this...
在此離奇案件中 This extraordinary case.
我先放過這個事實 I prefer to set aside the fact
即他否認與阿姆斯壯上校在印度說過話 that he denied ever having spoken to Colonel Armstrong in India.
然而他卻詳細地記得… And yet he remembered in great detail
阿姆斯壯上校多年前，在法國獲得的各種勳章 the decorations which Colonel Armstrong had won years earlier in France.
我寧願回憶他對於英國陪審團制度的看法 I prefer to remember his views on the British jury system.
由12個樸實好人組成的陪審團，是個有效的制度 Trial by 12 good men and true is a sound system.

哈德曼先生，你別說話 Mr. Hardman, you may not speak.
雷切特從沒請你當他的保鏢，他請的是我 Ratchett never asked you to be his bodyguard, he asked me.
而我，也許是出於不信任，拒絕了 And I, perhaps to my discredit, refused.

展現了從您的演員母親那裡… showed an inherited ability...
繼承到的能力 ...from your actress mother.
但是，天知道葛麗塔•奧爾森小姐… But God knows from what implausible source
那過於滑稽的英語詞彙… Miss Greta Ohlsson...
是從什麼難以置信的管道學來的 ...learned her English vocabulary, too ludicrous to be credited.
我生來遲鈍 I was born backwards.
所以我去非洲從事傳教活動 That is why I work in Africa as missionary,
教那些比我更遲鈍的棕色孩子 teaching little brown babies more backwards than myself.
你杜撰了“床袍”這樣的詞語 You coined words like "bed gown",
然而你卻瞭解“酬答”這樣的詞 and yet you understand words like "emolument".
我真的相信，你確實在希莫加照顧過棕色孩子 I truly believe you did look after little brown babies at your mission in Shimoga
那地方在印度，順便提一句 which is in India, by the way, you know.
不在非洲 It's not Africa.
但我相信你在掩蓋… But I believe you were covering up
有一次，多年前你在美國時 for once, years earlier, when you were in America,
照顧過一個白人小孩，叫做戴西 having looked after a little white baby called Daisy...
她死了，而你沒法預防此事 ...whose death, though you could do nothing to prevent it,
你心裡深受折磨，去向耶穌尋求庇護 so preyed on your mind that you sought refuge in a vision of Jesus.
你的未來是去傳教，照顧那些棕色孩子，也就此註定 And your future as a missionary, looking after little brown babies, was sealed.
你，你很幸運 You. You were lucky
只是被綁住，堵上嘴 only to be bound and gagged,
而不是被打倒，像那個男僕 not crushed like the manservant.
- 貝多斯先生 - 先生 - Mr. Beddoes. - Sir.
你曾在蘇格蘭的英軍服役 You served with the British army in Scotland.
阿姆斯壯上校曾是皇家蘇格蘭團的 Colonel Armstrong was in the Royal Scots.
你能否向康斯坦丁醫生以管家方式深鞠一躬？ Would you kindly give Dr. Constantine your deepest butler's bow?
是的，有一處舊的挫傷 Yes, there is an old contusion.
是一次混亂中鬥毆的結果，先生 The result of a slight fracas in the mess, sir,
關於葡萄乾布丁的品質是否有污點之爭 with regard to the quality of a pudding known as spotted dick.
謝謝，但我想你也有污點了 Thank you, but I think you've been spotted too.
福斯卡雷裡先生對汽車很有見識 Mr. Foscarelli is very knowledgeable about automobiles.
我懷疑他也許做過，阿姆斯壯家的司機 I suspected that perhaps he had once been Armstrong's chauffeur.
我問他是否做過私人服務 I asked if he had ever been in private service.
沒有 No.
我覺得福斯卡雷裡先生糟糕的英語要比… I think Mr. Foscarelli's appalling English is more genuine
比奧爾森小姐的更真實，但我覺得他的回答是“有過” than Miss Ohlsson's, but I think he meant yes.
- 覺得 先生[法語]? - 覺得 覺得 只是覺得 - Think, monsieur? - Think, think. Yes, think!
這列被雪堆阻隔的火車上還能做什麼呢？ What else can be done on a train isolated by a snowdrift?
如果這些人都沒被捲入罪行中 If all these people are not implicated in the crime,
那他們為什麼全都在問訊時，跟我… then why have they all told me, under interrogation,
說些愚蠢又沒必要的謊呢？ stupid and often unnecessary lies?
為什麼？為什麼？為什麼？ Why? Why? Why? Why?
無疑，波洛先生[法語]，他們沒料到你會乘這列車 Doubtless, Monsieur Poirot, because they did not expect you to be on the train.
他們沒時間來協調編造故事 They had no time to concert their cover story.
我正希望，由別人替我說出這話 I was hoping someone other than myself would say that.
女士們 先生們 Ladies and gentlemen,
現在讓我來重構這個謀殺之夜 we now come to my own reconstruction of the night of the murder...
或者，渾水摸魚之夜 ...or the night of the red herrings.
我…我只希望... I only wish...
我只希望我的講述能… I only wish I could describe it...
有無與倫比的派頭 ...with the incomparable panache...
飽滿的神韻 ...the consummate verve,
扣人心弦的節奏，優雅大方的姿態 the enthralling cadences, the delicate gestures,
引人入勝的表情，那就是美國最富盛名的悲劇演員 the evocative expressions of America's greatest tragic actress,
哈麗特•貝琳達 Harriet Belinda.
琳達•雅頓女士 Miss Linda Arden.
我一直聽說她想演喜劇 I've always heard she wanted to play comedy parts,
但她丈夫不讓 but her husband wouldn't have it.
哪任丈夫？您的第二任丈夫赫伯德先生？ Which husband? Your second husband, Mr. Hubbard?
還是第一任丈夫 Or your first husband,
葛籣瓦爾特先生？ Mr. Grunwald?
琳達•雅頓，這位女演員，還從未扮演過 Linda Arden, the actress, never played as difficult a role
比這次非凡的復仇的組織者赫伯德太太更難的角色 as Mrs. Hubbard, the organizer of this extraordinary revenge.
我大膽推測偉大的琳達•雅頓已經… Dare I deduce that the great Linda Arden has been cured
治癒絕症，不再臥病不起 of her incurable disease and is no longer bedridden?
是我，應該去精神病院申請個床位 It is I who should be committed to a bed in a mental home.
是我，需要治療這麼慢… It is I who need a cure for being so slow
才注意到別人給我耍的花招 to notice the tricks that were being played on me
搞錯了謀殺的時間 with regard to the time of the murder.
- 您還有別的吩咐嗎 先生? - 當然有 - Will there be anything more, sir? - There will.
告訴麥奎恩先生我要見他 馬上 Tell Mr. McQueen I wanna see him, now.
好的 先生 Very good, sir.
"...以及六個大口杯 句號 "And six beakers, stop.
"只有五個，重複，只有五個杯子運到 "Only five, repeat, five beakers were delivered.
"一個，重複，一個，缺口很大 "One, repeat, one badly chipped,
"它將被退回，在調換品寄到我在巴黎的住處後 "which will be returned on receipt of replacement to my Paris address.
"簽名 雷切特" "Signed, Ratchett."
好了，赫克特，就這些 OK, Hector, that's all.
晚安，雷切特先生 Good night, Mr. Ratchett.
晚安，赫克特 Good night, Hector.

沒事了[法語] Ce n'est rien.
只是個噩夢[法語] C'etait un cauchemar.
好的[法語] 雷切特先生 Bien, Mr. Ratchett.
祝您做個好夢 May you now have pleasant dreams.
淩晨1點15分，赫伯德太太聲稱有個男人在她包間 At 1:15 came Mrs. Hubbard's announcement that there was a man in her room
而這人，出於我都不敢猜的原因，掉了顆扣子 who had, for reasons which I dare not even guess, shed a button.
第二天早上，謀殺被發現了 The next morning, the murder was discovered.
康斯坦丁醫生圈定了謀殺時間 Dr. Constantine sets the time of the murder
午夜至淩晨2點之間的某時刻 anywhere between midnight and 2 a.m.
我想到了多種結論 Now, I came to various conclusions.
被毀的手錶停在1點15分的老花招 The clumsy cliché of the smashed watch registering 1:15
是故意弄出來讓我懷疑的 had been done deliberately to excite my disbelief.
而且麥奎恩先生著重強調說 And since Mr. McQueen had overemphatically said
雷切特不會說外語 that Ratchett spoke no languages,
於是我就被刻意引導去相信： I was being deliberately maneuvered into believing
雷切特的包間出現法語喊叫聲時，他已經死了 that Ratchett was already dead when a voice cried out from his room in French.
換句話說 In other words,
一直有人推動我做出推論： I was being forced into the theory
謀殺實施於1點15分之前 that the murder was committed before 1:15.
這個時間段，你們各位都有不可動搖的不在場證明 A period for which every single one of you had an unshakable alibi.
但是 But...
假設罪案的實施並非早於… ...supposing that the crime had not been committed earlier,
而是晚於1點15分呢？ but later than 1:15...
當用來迷惑我的吵鬧聲和事件都平息下來 ...when all the noises and incidents designed to confuse me had died down.
而我已陷入睡夢中 And I had lapsed into sleep
火車現在，是既安靜… because the train was now silent...
又平和 ...and at peace.
安靜，沒錯 Silent, yes.
而平和，不然 At peace, no.
到了2點，謀殺開始了 By 2:00, the murder was afoot.
想像一下 Envisage it.

亡女之靈，安息 of my dear, dead daughter.
我重申 I repeat...
一個殘忍的殺人犯 ...a repulsive murderer
他自己 has himself
被殘忍謀殺了，也許是他 been repulsively and, perhaps,
罪有應得 deservedly murdered.
但屬於我提出的兩種方式中的哪一種呢？ But in which of the two ways that I have suggested?
是簡單的方式，被裝成乘務員的黑手黨分子幹掉了？ In the simpler way, by the Mafioso disguised as a wagon-lit conductor?
還是更為複雜的方式，我剛才敘述的那樣呢？ Or in the more complex way that I have just outlined...
這樣就牽涉到諸多問題，當然還有… ...which involves many questions and, of course...
相當大的醜聞... ...considerable scandal?
比安奇先生[義大利語]，這得靠你，作為這條鐵路的一名董事 Signor Bianchi, it is for you, as a director of the line,
來選擇我們應該在布羅德給警方提供哪個答案？ to choose the solution that we shall offer to the police at Brod.
而我承認 Though I confess...
我是左右為難 ...I am in two minds.
不過我… Though I...
我認為布羅德的警方會更喜歡… I think the police at Brod would prefer
第一種簡單明瞭的答案 the simplicity of the first solution.
我們有那套制服 We have the uniform...
可以拿給警方看 ...to show the police.
既然有制服 If we have the uniform,
就肯定有個人穿過它 there must have been a man in it.
因此 So therefore,
我選擇第一種答案 I elect the first solution.
過來，過來 Here, here.

我感謝你 I thank you.
我的朋友 My friend.
現在我得去努力應付一份報告給警方了 Now I must go and wrestle with my report to the police
而且要，憑良心寫 and with my conscience.
