电话谋杀案
“玛丽皇后号”今天抵达 乘客中有美国名作家马克·哈利戴等多位名人
玛丽皇后号
我再给你倒一杯酒 Let me get you another drink.
马克 在东尼来之前 我得说明一件事 Mark, before Tony comes, I ought to explain something.
好呀 我正等着要听呢 Yes, I've been waiting for that.
我还没告诉他关于我们的事呢 I haven't told him anything about us.
这不难想象 的确不好开口 That's not surprising. It's a tough thing to do.
你今天早上打电话的时候 我只简单的说你写犯罪小说 When you telephoned this morning, I simply said you wrote crime stories.
以及…以及我跟你见过一次面 And I'd met you once when you were here before.
听来很有罪恶感 我从来没有在我的故事里用过 That has a pretty guilty ring to it. I'd never use it in one of my stories.
马克 我知道你会认为我很呆 Mark, I know you think it's silly.
但等你了解东尼你就会明白 我为什么这么说呢 When you get to know Tony, you'll understand why I said that.
亲爱的 我现在就明白但我还是爱你的 Darling, I understand now. That doesn't stop me from loving you.
那不是像你说得这么简单的 It's not as simple as that.
- 东尼变了 - 谢谢 - Tony's changed. - Thanks.
他跟我所告诉你的完全不同了 He's a completely different person to the one I used to tell you about.
真的吗 是什么时候开始变的？ Really? When did all this happen?
就在我来道别的那个晚上 That night I came to say goodbye.
当我离开了 你的住所回到这里来 When I left your apartment, I came back here.
我坐下来好好的哭了一场 I sat down on the sofa and had a good cry.
然后我就睡着了 And then I fell asleep.
而当我醒来时 When I woke up...
东尼就拿着他所有的球拍袋子 站在那儿 There was Tony standing in the hall with his bags and tennis rackets.
他只说了他决定放弃打网球 并且安定下来找一个工作 He just said he decided to give up tennis and settle down to a job.
- 就像这样？ - 就像这样… - Just like that? - Just like that.
当然我起初并不相信他 但是他是认真的 没错 Of course, I didn't believe him at first, but he meant it, all right.
从那时起 他就表现得非常好了 But he's been wonderful ever since.
我想那就是你停止给我写信时了 I suppose that's when you stopped writing me.
玛歌 对不对？ Margot, is it?
还记得你给我写的那些信吗？ Do you remember the letters you wrote to me?
记得 我记得 Yes, I remember.
我看完了信之后 我就把信烧掉 我想那是最好的 After I read them, I burned them. I thought it best.
所有的信 除了其中一封 All except one.
你大概知道我指的是哪一封 You probably know the one I mean.
没错 我想我是知道的 Yes, I think I do.
那封信怎么样了？ What about it?
那封信被偷了 It was stolen.
有一天东尼和我要到乡间去 和朋友们共渡周末 Tony and I were going to spend the weekend in the country with friends.
当我们在月台上等时 我注意到我的手提袋不见了 While waiting on the platform, I noticed my handbag was missing.
而信就在袋里 And the letter was inside.
- 是在哪里？ - 在维多利亚车站 - Where was this? - Victoria Station.
本来我以为丢在餐厅了 可是回去也没找到 I thought I'd left it in the restaurant, but when I went back, it had gone.
你是说 你再也没找到那手提袋？ You mean you never found it?
大约两个星期之后 I recovered the handbag about two weeks later...
我在失物招领处找到了手提袋 from the lost and found,
可是那封信已经不在里面了 but the letter wasn't there.
大约一星期之后 我收到了个通知 Then about a week afterwards, I received a note.
通知上告诉我 怎样才能拿回那封信 It told me what I had to do to get the letter back.
好 继续 说下去 Yes. Go ahead. Go on.
我得从我的银行里 提领50镑 全是5镑钞票 I was to draw ￡50 from my bank in ￡5 notes...
然后再把它们 全换成1镑的旧钞 and then change them for used ￡1 notes.
通知上说如果我去报警 或是告诉任何一个人 It said that if I went to the police or told anyone else...
他就要把那封信给我丈夫看 He would show the letter to my husband.
那张通知你还留着吗？ You still have the note?
印刷体 全都是大写字母 Printed, all capitals.
- 任何人都会做这种事 - 两天之后 - Anyone could've done this. - Two days later...
- 我又收到了这一封 - 两封都是在布瑞克斯顿寄出的 - I got this one. - Both mailed in Brixton.
把钱装到包裹里并邮寄至 "Throw half the money in a package and mail to John S. King.
布镇新港街23号金约翰收 23 Newport Street, Brixton SW9.
你的信就会寄还给你了 You'll get your letter by return."
那是人们用来收信的小店的地址 It's a little shop. People use it as a forwarding address.
你没有寄那些钱吧 寄了 You didn't mail the money.
玛歌 但是那信从未寄还给我 Yes, but the letter was never returned.
所以等了两个星期 我便去了那里 So after waiting about two weeks, I went there.
他们说从未听过这个名字 Said they had never heard of a man by that name.
而那包裹仍然在那从没被开过 The parcel was still there. It had never been opened.
一定有文章 这两封信给我好吗 That's something, I suppose. May I keep these?
如果你要 可以呀 Yes, if you like.
我不明白 你为何不告诉我呢？ I can't understand why you didn't tell me.
你又不能怎么样 There wasn't anything you could do.
你可能会要我报警或告诉东尼 You probably would have made me tell Tony and the police.
才50英镑 我想破财消灾了事 It was only ￡50, I thought I'd pay and have done with it.
今晚我要告诉东尼我们的事 I'm gonna tell Tony about us tonight.
不行 马克 你绝对不能说 No, Mark, please, you mustn't.
你不明白 东尼改变了 You don't understand. Tony's changed.
拜托 Please.
我希望是一年前你来道别的时候 I wish it was a year ago, when you came to say goodbye.
我们站在厨房里 我几乎要说 我不能再这样下去了 We were in the kitchen. I said, "I can't go through with this.
我们去找东尼把一切告诉他 Let's find Tony and tell him all about it."
我后来相信你已经告诉他了 I believe you'd have done it then.
我看得出来 这将是个难挨的夜晚 Well, I can see this is gonna be a rough evening.
咱们所有的人 彼此说些好听的话 All of us saying nice things to each other.
听我说 你只有一件事没说明白 Look, there's only one thing you haven't explained.
你为什么没有把那封信也给烧了 Why didn't you burn that letter too?
你总算回来了 怎样？我们以为你根本不回来了 There you are. We thought you were never coming.
- 你在忙什么呢 - 抱歉 亲爱的 我正要走 - What have you been up to? - I'm sorry. The boss blew in...
- 老板进来了 - 东尼 见过马克·哈利戴 - just as I was leaving. - Tony, this is Mark Halliday.
- 你好 马克 - 你好 东尼 - Mark. - Tony.
我回来这么晚实在抱歉 I'm terribly sorry to be so late.
- 马克 你来这还自在吧？ - 好 很好 - How do you like it over here, Mark? - Well, fine. Just fine, Tony.
这是你头一次到伦敦来吗？ Is this your first visit to London?
不是 我一年前来这渡过假 No, no. I was here a year ago for vacation.
对了 玛歌告诉过我了 你… Oh, yes, that's right. Margot told me.
你是为无线电台编剧的吧？ You write for the radio, don't you?
不是 是电视台 写我犯的罪 No, television, for my sins.
- 亲爱的 你预订了桌子了没？ - 订了 7点钟 - Darling, did you reserve a table? - Yes, 7:00.
- 那快走吧 - 亲爱的 计划有些改变 - Come on, then... - Darling, a slight alteration in plans.
- 现在可别说你不能去了 - 我怕是如此 - Now, don't say you can't go. - I'm afraid so.
柏吉斯那老头星期天要搭机去布鲁塞尔去 Old man Burgess is flying to Brussels on Sunday.
我要在明天前完成我的月报表 And I have to get my monthly report in by tomorrow.
你不能等我们回来再做吗？ Can't you do it when we get back?
我怕完不成 要花很久时间的 I'm afraid not. It'll take hours.
有一半我还得造假 那… I shall have to fake half of it as it is.
散场后你能来跟我们会合吗？我们可以去别的地方 Could you join us after the theater? We might go somewhere.
中场时你何不打电话给我呢？ Give me a ring in intermission.
- 也许我能赶来 你会赶来吗？ - 会的 - lf I'm inspired, I might make it. - Well, do try.
马克 我去拿皮包 I'll just get my things, Mark.
- 这是戏票 - 东尼 谢谢 - Here are the tickets. - Thanks, Tony.
我怕我这一来实在是失礼 I'm afraid this is terribly rude of me.
一点也不 你不能来我只是难过 Not at all. I'm just sorry you can't come.
- 找个晚上你一定得来吃晚餐 - 谢谢 我很乐意 - You must come to dinner. - I'd like that.
还有 你明天晚上要干嘛呢？ What are you doing tomorrow night?
星期六？我想是不干什么吧 Saturday? Nothing I know of.
想参加纯男性聚会吗 Would you like to join a stag party?
- 纯男性？ - 没错 - A stag party? - Yes.
一些美国男孩来打网球 Some Americans have been playing tennis all over the continent.
我们为他们开一个道别晚餐会 We're giving them a farewell dinner.
- 我懂了 但我不算是网球手呀 - 那无所谓 - I'm not much of a tennis player. - Doesn't matter.
你了解纽约和这些事 You know New York and all that.
- 亲爱的 马克明晚要参加派对 - 那好 - Mark's coming to the party tomorrow night. - Good.
你最好先到这来喝上一杯 You better drop in here first and have a drink.
- 这主意好 - 对 好吧 - That's the idea. - Yes. All right.
- 我去找计程车 - 不用 随时都有 - I'll try and get a taxi. - No, we can usually pick one up.
再见 亲爱的 So long, darling.
快快乐乐的去吧 Enjoy yourself.
- 东尼 再见 - 再见 - So long, Tony. - Good night.
- 马克 - 怎样？ - Oh, Mark. - Yes?
把那多出来的票卖掉去买酒喝 Sell the extra ticket and have a drink on the proceeds.
- 好的 东尼 这主意好 - 玩得愉快呀 - All right. We'll try. - Have a good time.
谢谢 晚安 Thanks. Good night.
- 你好 - 汉普顿9899号吗？ - Hello. - Hello. Hampstead 78-double-9?
- 是的 - 李斯盖特上尉在吗？ - Yes. - Could I speak to Captain Lesgate?
- 我就是 - 晚安 - Speaking. - Good evening.
你不认识我 我姓费雪 You don't know me. My name is Fisher.
我知道你有一部车子要卖 I understand you have a car for sale.
- 对 是辆美国车 - 对 我在你修车厂看到了 - Yes, an American car. - Yes, I saw it at your garage.
- 你开价多少？ - 1100英镑 - How much are you asking? - Eleven hundred.
1100英镑 我知道了 车是不错 Eleven hundred? I see. It certainly looks just the job for me.
不过价钱太高了 I don't like that price much.
我买时也嫌它太贵了 I didn't like it when I bought it.
- 我们什么时候可以碰面呢？ - 明天下午行吗？ - Now, when can we meet? - Well, now, how about tomorrow afternoon?
我怕我抽不出空来 不 不成 I'm afraid I can't manage that.
而我星期天要到利物浦去 No, I can't, and I'm going to Liverpool on Sunday.
我是希望 I was rather hoping...
- 你今晚能到我家吗？ - 是在哪里呢？ - You couldn't come to my flat tonight? - Where is it?
并不远 其实我该去看你的 只是我的膝盖扭得不轻 Maida Vale. I'd call on you, only I've twisted my knee rather badly.
我很难过 那你地址呢？ I'm sorry. Well, what's your address?
- 嘉伦顿公园路61A - 柴瑞顿 - 61 A Charrington Gardens. - Harrington?
不…嘉伦顿 地下道向左转 No. Charrington. Turn left at the underground.
- 步行约2分钟 - 我大约1小时内到 - It's a two minutes' walk. - I'll be there in an hour.
那真太好了 还有…你可以把车开来吗 That's extremely good of you. By the way, will you bring the car?
- 我怕不成 - 那没关系 我已经仔细看过了 - I'm afraid I can't. - Doesn't matter. I had a good look at it.
你可以把原始文件等等带来吧？ You might bring the registration book and any necessary papers.
- 当然可以 - 假设你可以把价钱合理的降低 - Yes, of course. - We can settle this...
我看 咱们现在就可以在我这成交 here and now, provided you drop the price sufficiently.
不行 我怕那是不可能的 I'm afraid that's out of the question.
总之 我们喝上几杯再看吧 Well, we'll see what a couple of drinks can do.
- 好了 再见了 - 再见 - Well, goodbye. - Goodbye.
- 费雪先生吗？ - 李斯盖特上尉吗？ - Mr. Fisher? - Captain Lesgate?
- 对 - 对 那请进吧 - Yes. - Won't you come in?
谢谢你 Thank you.
你真是客气 It's very good of you.
把大衣脱下来吧 Let me have your coat.
- 到这来不难找吧？ - 不难 一点也不难 - Have any difficulty finding your way? - No. None at all.
请坐 来杯酒如何？ Do sit down. How about a drink?
我禁不住要想 我以前在哪见过你 I can't help thinking I've seen you before somewhere.
你这么说真是好玩 It's funny you should mention that.
就在我开门的那一刻我… The moment I opened the door, l...
等一等 李斯盖特 Wait a minute. Lesgate?
你不是李斯盖特 史望 CJ史望 You're not Lesgate. Swan. C.J. Swan.
- 或是CA？ - CA - Or was it C.A.? - C.A.
总之 你的记性比我的好 Well, you've got a better memory than I have.
费雪 我们什么时候见过面的？ Fisher. When did we meet?
- 你上过剑桥吗 - 上过 - Weren't you at Cambridge? - Yes.
一定是20年前了 Must be 20 years ago.
你不记得我了 我在你最后一年才来上学的 You wouldn't remember me. I only came your last year.
- 是呀 多巧啊 - 没错 这值得特别喝上一杯的 - Well, what a coincidence. - Yes, this calls for a special drink.
本来我想拿假酒来招待你呢 I was planning to palm you off with an indifferent port.
看看我们这里有什么可喝的 But let's see what we have here.
- 喝这一瓶怎样 - 太好了 - How about this? - Perfect.
还有 你怎么知道我要卖车呢？ So how do you know my car's for sale?
是你的修车厂告诉我的 Your garage told me.
我想我在那跟谁都没提过 Odd. I don't think I mentioned it to them.
我从那路过说我要找辆美国车 I got a fill-up and told them I wanted an American car.
他们就给了我你的电话 我是说 车是要卖吧 They gave me your phone number. I say, it is for sale, isn't it?
- 当然 - 那好 不过在你喝三杯白兰地前 - Of course. - Good, but I refuse to discuss the price...
- 我是拒绝讨论价钱的 - 但是我警告你 - until you've had three brandies. - I warn you...
- 不管我醉或清醒 我是很会讨价的 - 我也是 - I drive a hard bargain, drunk or sober. - So do I.
是啊 从我们离开剑桥之后 我一定在那见过你 I think I must have seen you somewhere since we left Cambridge.
到过温布顿去吗？ Ever been to Wimbledon?
就是了 温地斯 东尼温地斯 That's it. Wendice. Tony Wendice.
- 费雪又是怎么回事？ - 李斯盖特又是怎么回事？ - What's all this about Fisher? - What's all this about Lesgate?
你要来一支雪茄吗？ Would you like a cigar?
不要 谢了 我还是抽我的烟斗 No, thanks. I'll just stick to my pipe.
这是一个你改变了的习惯 That's one habit you've changed.
我记得在大学时 你总是抽相当贵的雪茄 I remember, at college, you always used to smoke rather expensive cigars.
等等 我想我在那有你的照片 Wait a minute, I think I have a picture of you here somewhere.
对了 Yes.
对了 这就有一张 Yes. Here's one.
是在开同学会时照的 Taken at a reunion dinner.
那就是你 咬着一支大雪茄 There you are with the biggest cigar in the business.
这是我唯一一次参加的同学会 That's the first and last reunion I ever went to.
- 我看来真像是个冷血的刺客呢 - 没错 是相当像 - What a murderous thug I look. - Yes, you do rather.
当然 因为大学舞会我总记得你 Of course, I always remember you because of the college ball.
你是总务股长 对不对？ You were the treasurer, weren't you?
荣誉总务股长 我通常总是安排这些活动的 Honorary treasurer. I used to organize the beastly things.
对 有些活动的票钱被偷了对吧 Some of the ticket money was stolen, wasn't it?
没错 几乎有100英镑 That's right. Almost ￡100.
我把钱放在我书房的现金箱里的 到了早上钱不见了 I'd left it in a cashbox in my study, and in the morning, it had gone.
- 当然是大学门房干的 - 当然 可怜的老阿弗雷德 - It was the college porter, of course. - Yes. Poor old Alfred.
他永远也成不了事的 He never could back a winner.
- 他们在他后院找到了现金箱 - 可是没有找到钱 - They found the cashbox in his back garden. - But not the money.
- 20年前的事了 - 这些日子你从事什么呀？ - Twenty years ago. - What are you doing nowadays?
我在搞房地产 我不太留意网球 I deal in property. I don't follow tennis very closely.
- 你还打吗 - 不 我放弃了网球 - Do you still play? - No, I've given it up.
或是网球放弃了我 日子总得过 Rather, tennis gave me up. One has to earn a living sometime.
我把我的钱处理得还可以 环球旅游了三次 And I had a pretty good run for my money. Went round the world three times.
- 你现在干嘛呢 - 卖运动器材 - What are you doing now? - I sell sports equipment.
利润不很高 但有空闲时间 It's not very lucrative, but it gives me plenty of spare time.
我看你把这地方弄得挺舒服的 I see you manage to run a very comfortable little place.
我太太她自己也有些钱 My wife has some money of her own.
不然 哪有钱花1000镑买你车呢 Otherwise, I should hardly feel like blowing ￡1000 on your car.
是1100镑 Eleven hundred.
有钱人不知道他们有多幸运 People with capital don't realize how lucky they are.
我赚的钱过日子都还不够 I'm almost resigned to living on what I can earn.
反正 你总可以为钱而结婚呀 You can always marry for money.
没错 我想有人就这么做呢 Yes, I suppose some people make a business out of that.
- 我知道我就是 - 她为什么嫁你呢 - I know I did. - Why do you think she married you?
我是网球明星啊 Well, I was a tennis star.
而你放弃网球 而她并没有离开你 Yes, but you've given up tennis. She hasn't left you.
她几乎离开我 She nearly did.
在我们婚后 我每次参加大赛 After we were married, I played in championships...
都带玛歌去 and took Margot with me.
她不很喜欢 等我回来之后 She didn't like it, and when we got back...
她想叫我放弃网球而好好的当丈夫 she tried to make me give up tennis and play husband instead.
结果我们妥协了 In the end, we compromised.
我单独在那球季去美国 I went alone to America for the grass-court season...
并且得了几个冠军回来 and returned after the national championships.
不久我就了解了 我不在时发生了很多事情 I soon realized a lot had happened while I was away.
有一件事就是她不再爱我了 For one thing, she wasn't in love with me anymore.
如果我偶然的必须走进屋里 通话中的电话会突然中止 There were phone calls which would end abruptly if I happened to walk in.
有一个老校友时常来拜访我们 There was an old school friend who used to visit from time to time.
有一天 我们吵了架 One day, we had a row.
我要去参加一场比赛 I wanted to play in a covered-court tournament...
和平时一样 她不要我去 and, as usual, she didn't want me to go.
我在卧房里 电话铃响了 I was in the bedroom. The phone rang.
声音听来很急的样子 It all sounded pretty urgent.
在这之后 她像是很热心的要我去参加比赛 After that, she seemed rather keen that I play in the tournament.
所以我就把球具装上车 开车走了 So I packed my kit into the car and drove off.
我把车停在两条街以外 又顺原路走了回来 I parked the car two streets away, walked back in my tracks.
十分钟后 她从屋里出来 并上了计程车 Ten minutes later, she came out of this house and took a taxi.
我上了另一部 I took another.
她的老校友 住在柴西一工作室里 Her old school friend lived in a studio in Chelsea.
他用煤气炉煮通心粉时 I could see them through the studio window
我可以从工作室窗户看见他们 as he cooked spaghetti over a gas range.
他们话说得不多 他们在一起看来非常自然 They didn't say much. They just looked very natural together.
你能看出来人们是在恋爱中 实在是件好玩的事 You know, it's funny how you can tell when people are in love.
我于是就去散步 I went for a walk.
然后不知道 如果她离开我会怎样 I began to wonder what would happen if she left me.
我得设法开始赚钱过日子了 I'd have to find some way of earning a living, to begin with.
突然之间我了解到 我有多依赖她 I suddenly realized how much I'd grown to depend on her.
所有的这些 我需要的高品味享受 All these expensive tastes I'd acquired while I was at the top.
现在 我跟网球大赛绝了缘 Now, big tennis had finished with me...
所以 显然的我依赖我太太了 and so, apparently, had my wife.
我不记得我有那么害怕过 I can't ever remember being so scared.
我进了一家酒馆 喝了几杯酒 I dropped into a pub and had a couple of drinks.
当我坐在那角落里时 我想过各式各样的事情 As I sat in the corner, I thought of all sorts of things.
我想过三种不同杀死他的方法 I thought of three different ways of killing him.
我甚至于想过杀死她 I even thought of killing her.
这看来是个更好的主意呢 That seemed a far more sensible idea.
就在我想着我要怎么样去做时 And just as I was working out how I could do it...
我突然看见了一件使我主意完全改变的事情 I suddenly saw something which completely changed my mind.
总而言之 我没有去参加比赛 I didn't go to that tournament after all.
当我回来时 她就坐在你现在坐的位子上 When I got back, she was sitting exactly where you are now.
我告诉她我决定放弃网球 并且要好好的照顾她 I'd told her I decided to give up tennis and look after her instead.
- 然后呢 - 然后…事情的演变是 - Well? - Well, as things turned out...
我根本用不着干嘛 I needn't have got so worked up after all.
显然的 他们的通心粉之夜是一个道别之会 Apparently, their spaghetti evening had been a sort of a fond farewell.
那男友被召回纽约去了 The boyfriend had been called back to New York.
- 是个美国人 - 没错 - An American? - Yes.
然后就有长信从那边来 There were long letters from there.
通常都是在星期四寄到 They usually arrived on Thursdays.
除了一封之外 她烧了所有的信 She burned them all except one.
那封信她通常都放在她皮包里 That one she used to transfer from handbag to handbag.
那封信她总是随身带着 It was always with her.
那封信成了我的致命伤了 That letter became an obsession with me.
我必须了解信上写的是什么 I had to find out what was in it.
终于 我了解了 Finally, I did.
那封信读来可很有趣呢 That letter made very interesting reading.
- 你是说你偷了那封信 - 对 - Do you mean you stole it? - Yes.
我甚至于写了两封匿名信 说是愿意把那封信归还 I even wrote her two anonymous notes offering to sell it back.
- 为什么呢 - 我是希望那会让她… - Why? - I was hoping it would make her...
把他的一切全都告诉我 come and tell me all about him.
可是她并没有告诉我 所以 我就保留了这封信 But it didn't, so I kept the letter.
你为什么告诉我这些呢？ Why are you telling me all this?
因为你是我唯一信任的人 Because you're the only person I can trust.
总之 还是起了作用 Anyway, that did it.
一定使他们有了对上帝敬畏之心 因为信停止了 It must have put the fear of God into them because the letters stopped.
而自那之后我们一起快乐的过着日子 And we lived happily ever after.
真是好玩 就在一年前 You know, it's funny to think that just a year ago...
我坐在那优雅的酒馆里 事实上在计划看要谋杀她 I sat in that nice bridge pub actually planning to murder her.
要是我没有看见 And I might have done it...
使我改变主意的 我可能就会把她谋杀了 if I hadn't seen something that changed my mind.
那么 你看见什么了呢？ Well, what did you see?
我看见了你 I saw you.
这又有什么特别呢？ What was so odd about that?
只不过是巧合 听我说 The coincidence.
就在看见你前的一个星期 Only a week before, I'd been to a reunion dinner.
我去参加同学餐会时 人们在谈你 And the fellows were talking about you.
在战时你是怎样的被军法审判 How you had been court-martialed during the war.
并坐了一年牢 这可是新闻 A year in prison. That was news.
留神听 在大学时我们都说 老史望早晚会去坐牢的 Mind you, at college, we'd all said that Swan would end up in jail.
- 我想是为了那现金箱 - 现金箱又怎样 - That cashbox, I suppose. - Well, what about it?
亲爱的朋友 谁都知道那些钱是你拿去的 My dear fellow, everybody knew you took that money.
可怜的老阿弗雷德 Poor old Alfred.
多谢你的酒 Thanks very much for the drink.
听你的婚姻插曲也很有趣 Interesting, hearing about your matrimonial affairs.
我认为你根本不想要那辆车 I take it you won't be wanting that car after all.
你不想要我告诉你 我为什么约你到这来吗？ Don't you want me to tell you why I brought you here?
想呀 我想你还是告诉我吧 Yes, I think you'd better.
当我在酒馆看见你时 就有念头了 It was when I saw you in that pub that it happened.
突然间 一切都非常清楚了 Suddenly, everything became quite clear.
几个月前 玛歌和我立了遗嘱 A few months before, Margot and I had made our wills.
要是发生意外 财产都留给对方 这是件该做的事情 Short affairs, leaving everything we had to each other, in case of accidents.
她的财产刚好超过9万英镑 Hers worked out at just over ￡90,000.
大部份是投资 要弄到手太容易了 Investments mostly, all a little too easy to get at.
要是他们疑心 我就太危险了 And that was dangerous. They would be bound to suspect me.
我需要一个不在现场证明 一个很好的不在现场证明 I need an alibi, a very good one.
然后我就看见了你 Then I saw you.
我常想人们出了狱之后会怎样 I'd wondered what happened to people who came out of prison.
我是说像你这种人 People like you, I mean.
他们能找到工作吗？老朋友会伸出援手吗？ Can they get jobs? Do old friends rally round?
假设他们从来没有任何朋友呢？ Suppose they never had any friends.
我变得非常好奇的想要知道 所以我就跟踪了你 I became so curious to know that I followed you.
我那天整晚跟踪你 然后… I followed you home that night and...
请把你的杯子递给我？老兄 Would you mind passing me your glass, old boy?
谢谢你 非常谢谢 Thank you. Thank you very much.
- 从那天起我就一直跟踪你 - 为什么呢 - I've been following you ever since. - Why?
我是在希望迟早我会逮到你的把柄 I was hoping sooner or later I might catch you at something...
- 而能… - 勒索我 - and be able to... - Blackmail me?
影响你 Influence you.
几个星期之后 就知道了你的习惯 After a couple of weeks, I got to know your routine...
- 跟踪起来就容易得多了 - 很乏味的工作呀 - and that made it a lot easier. - Rather dour work.
开始时是的 To begin with, yes.
但你知道如何 那就成了你的爱好 But you know how it is. You take up a hobby.
你知道的越多 就越有趣了 And the more you get to know it, the more fascinating it becomes.
你变得相当的有趣呢 You became quite fascinating.
事实上 有的时候我觉得你几乎是属于我的 In fact, there were times when I'd felt that you almost belonged to me.
那一定是非常有意思的 That must have been interesting.
你通常在星期一、四到赛狗场去 You used to go to the dog-racing, Mondays and Thursdays.
为了接近你我甚至自己也去 I even took it up myself, just to be near you.
- 你还把你的姓改成了亚当斯 - 我对史望这个姓烦了 - You'd changed your name to Adams. - Yes. I got bored with Swan.
- 这触犯什么法了吗 - 没有 - Any crime in that? - No. No. None whatever.
事实上你没有什么不合法的事 In fact, there was nothing really illegal about you.
我变得相当气馁呢 I got quite discouraged.
然后 有一天你从租屋处失踪了 Then one day, you disappeared from your lodgings.
我打电话给你的女房东 我说亚当斯先生欠我5英镑 I phoned your landlady. I said, "Mr. Adams owed me ￡5."
显然的 这不算什么 But apparently that was nothing.
她最好的房客亚当斯先生欠她6周的租金 55英镑 Mr. Adams owed her six weeks' rent in her best lodge at ￡55.
亚当斯先生是个那么好的绅士 Mr. Adams had been such a nice gentleman.
这是最令她生气的地方 That's what seemed to upset her most.
是呀 这总是最令她们生气的 Yes. That always seems to upset them most.
我说老兄 如果你要再来一杯 I say, old boy, if you want another drink...
你不介意戴上这双手套吧？ do you mind putting on these gloves?
咱们说到那了 我把你跟丢了 Now, where were we? Yes, I'd lost you...
然后有一天 我在赛狗场找到了你 and then I found you one day at the dog-racing.
并且跟踪你到你在贝尔赛公园路 And I tailed you home to your new lodgings in Belsize Park.
亚当斯先生变成威尔逊先生了 There Mr. Adams became Mr. Wilson.
威尔逊先生离开了贝尔赛公园路 欠下了16周的租金 Mr. Wilson left Belsize Park owing 16 weeks' rent...
而由于和一位华莉丝小姐短暂的交往 似乎阔气了一些 and somewhat richer for a brief encounter with a Miss Wallace.
你通常在周三 周日约华莉丝 You used to take Miss Wallace out on Wednesdays and Sundays.
她当然是爱上了你 对吗？ She certainly was in love with you, wasn't she?
我想你留了这英俊的胡子 就是为了要讨好她 I suppose she thought you were growing that handsome mustache to please her.
可怜的华莉丝小姐 Poor Miss Wallace.
这全都很有意思 请说下去 This is all very interesting. Do go on.
七月 八月 九月 卡莱尔大厦第127号公寓 July, August, September: Apartment 127, Carlisle Court.
住着一位凡登太太 Occupant: a Mrs. Van Dorn.
她过世的丈夫留给她两家旅馆和一所公寓楼 都有家具 Her late husband left her two hotels and a large apartment house, furnished.
李斯盖特上尉 要从哪下手呢 What a base to operate from, Captain Lesgate.
唯一的问题是 她十分喜欢被追求 The only trouble is, she does rather enjoy being courted.
而跟她在一起花钱跟流水一样 And she's so very expensive.
也许这就是一个月来 你一直想要把她的车子卖掉 Perhaps that's why you've been trying to sell her car for over a month.
凡登太太要我替她卖车子的 Mrs. Van Dorn asked me to sell it for her.
我知道 你要之前我跟她通过话 I know. I called her up just before you arrived here.
她只要800英镑 She only wanted 800.
最近的派出所在哪？ Where's the nearest police station?
在教堂对面 步行两分钟 Opposite the church. Two minutes' walk.
- 假设我现在走到那 - 你告诉他们什么呢 - Suppose I walk there now. - What would you tell them?
- 一切 - 一切？ - Everything. - Everything?
所有关于亚当斯先生和威尔逊先生的事情？ All about Mr. Adams and Mr. Wilson?
我只要简单的告诉他们你想勒索我去从事… I should simply tell them that you are trying to blackmail me into...
从事？ Into?
谋杀你的老婆 Murdering your wife.
我几乎希望你会去告 等她听了 I almost wish you would.
我们就会有我们这生最大的笑料 When she heard that, we'd have the laugh of our lives.
- 你难道忘了什么吗 - 我有吗 - Aren't you forgetting something? - Am I?
你今晚告诉了我相当多的事情 You've told me quite a lot tonight.
- 是什么呢 - 假设我告诉他们 - What of it? - Suppose I tell them...
你如何跟踪她到柴西区的工作室 how you followed her to that studio in Chelsea...
以及看他们煮通心粉这些事情 and watched them cooking spaghetti and all that rubbish.
- 这些话他们会信吧 - 当然会 - Will that ring a bell? - It would.
他们会认为是你自己跟踪她的 They'd assume you'd followed her.
- 我为什么要跟踪她呢？ - 你为什么偷她的皮包呢？ - Me? Why should I? - Why should you steal her handbag?
你为什么给她写那些勒索信呢？ Why should you write those blackmail notes?
你能证明你没有那么做吗？ Can you prove you didn't?
你当然不能证明是我干的 You certainly can't prove I did.
那就成了你的话对抗我的话 It'll be a straight case of your word against mine.
那就是使他们困惑 你能说些什么呢？ That would puzzle them, wouldn't it. What could you say?
我只要简单的说你今晚半醉的 I should say that you came here tonight half-drunk and tried to borrow money...
到这来因为是大学同学的关系 on the strength that we were at college together.
向我借钱我拒绝时 你提起什么一封属于我太太的信 When I refused, you said something about a letter belonging to my wife.
就我的了解你想把信卖给我 As far as I could make out, you tried to sell it to me.
我把所有的钱给了你 而你把信给了我 I gave you what money I had, and you gave me the letter.
信上有你的指纹 还记得吗？ It has your fingerprints on it, remember?
然后你说如果我到警察局去 Then you said if I went to the police...
而你告诉他们我要你去谋杀我太太的疯狂故事 you'd tell some crazy story about my wanting you to murder my wife.
在你要更进一步说明时 老兄 Before you go any further, old boy,
可要考虑那是有不便之处的 do consider the inconvenience.
你要知道 我是相当有名气的 You see, I'm quite well-known.
而报上也会有你的照片出现 There'd be pictures of you, as well.
而迟早女房东和房客的代表们 And sooner or later, there'd be a deputation of landladies and lodgers...
就会出现来对你的言行做证 who would step forward to testify to your character.
而几乎可以确定总有人看过你跟华莉丝小姐在一起 And someone is almost certain to have seen you with Miss Wallace.
我注意到你很小心的跟她在一起时不被看到 You were careful not to be seen around with her, I noticed.
你总和她在远离人群的地方见面 You usually met in out-of-the-way places...
在那里你才不会被人认出来 where you wouldn't be recognized.
诸如在宾里可的那家小茶坊 Like the little teashop in Pimlico.
那是她的主意 不是我的 That was her idea, not mine.
那地方有点寒酸 对不对？ Yes, it was a bit crummy, wasn't it?
不是个可以带凡登太太去的地方 Hardly the place to take Mrs. Van Dorn.
还有 凡登太太知不知道关于亚当斯先生 By the way, does Mrs. Van Dorn know about Mr. Adams...
威尔逊先生…以及华莉丝小姐呢？ and Mr. Wilson and Miss Wallace?
你打算跟凡登太太结婚吧？ You were planning to marry Mrs. Van Dorn, weren't you?
- 你真聪明 行了吧？ - 不是 - Smart, aren't you? - No, not really.
并不真是我只是有时间想 I've just had time to think things out...
把我自己放在你的处境 put myself in your position.
所以我才知道你会同意的原因 That's why I know you're going to agree.
- 是什么使你认为我会同意呢？ - 和赶驴的道理一样 - What makes you think I'll agree? - The same reason...
后面是棍子 前面是胡萝卜 a donkey with a stick behind him and a carrot in front...
它就总是往前走 而不退后了 always goes forwards, not backwards.
告诉我胡萝卜是什么 Tell me about the carrot.
现金1000英镑 One thousand pounds in cash.
- 干一件谋杀案 - 只要几分钟的工作 如此而己 - For a murder? - For a few minutes' work, that's all it is.
而且不用冒险 我保证 And no risk, I guarantee.
这该会对你有吸引力吧 That ought to appeal to you.
你可是如履薄冰啊 You've been skating on pretty thin ice.
- 我不知道你在说什么 - 你该知道的 - I don't know what you're talking about. - You ought to know.
所有的报上都有中年妇女被发现死亡 It was in the papers, "Middle-aged woman...
由于用药过量什么的 found dead due to an overdose of something."
显然她用那药有段日子了 She'd been taking the stuff for some time...
而谁也不知道她那药的来源 and nobody knows where she got it.
可是我们知道 对不对？ But we know, don't we?
可怜的华莉丝小姐 Poor Miss Wallace.
这个1000英镑… This ￡1000...
在哪里呢？ where is it?
在一个寄物处的一个小手提箱里 It's in a small attache case in a checkroom.
- 哪里 - 在伦敦的一个地方 - Where? - Somewhere in London.
当然 我们不用再见面了 Of course, we don't meet again.
等到你交了货 As soon as you've delivered the goods...
我会把存根和箱子的钥匙寄给你 I shall mail you the checkroom ticket and the key to the case.
拿这100英镑当作行动资金 You take this ￡100 on account.
警察可能会从这些钞票上 The police would only have to trace one of these notes...
查出你我有关 而将我们一起送办 back to you to hang us both from the same rope.
他们查不出来的 这一整年 我每周都多支领20英镑 They won't. For a whole year, I've been cashing an extra ￡20 a week.
总是领5英镑的钞票 Always in fivers.
并在我闲暇时 再把钞票换成旧钞 I then change them for those at my leisure.
- 让我看看你的银行帐目 - 当然没问题 - Might I see your bank statement? - By all means.
别碰 Don't touch.
往前翻一页 Turn back a page.
这一年来 你的余额少了1000英镑 Your balance has dropped by over ￡1000 during the year.
如果警察问你这件事呢？ Suppose the police ask you about that.
我每周去赌两次赛狗 I go dog-racing twice a week.
他们会去查收你赌注的人 They'll check your bookmaker.
跟你一样 我总找通风的人下注 Like you, I always bet on the tout.
满意了吗？ Satisfied?
你要我什么时候下手呢？ When would this take place?
明天夜里 Tomorrow night.
明天夜里 绝对不可能 Tomorrow! Not a chance!
我得考虑这件事啊 I've got to think this over.
一定得在明天动手 It has to be tomorrow.
我已经把事情安排好了 I've arranged things that way.
在哪里动手？ Where?
差不多就在你现在站的地方 Approximately where you're standing now.
- 怎么动手？ - 明天晚上哈利戴 - How? - Tomorrow evening, Halliday...
她那美国男友和我要去参加一个纯男性的派对 the American boyfriend, and I will go out to a stag party.
她会待在家里 她会很早上床 She'll stay here.
并收听周六的戏院无线电转播 She'll go to bed early and listen to theater on the radio.
她在家时总是这么做的 She always does when I'm out.
在差3分钟11点时 你从大门进到房子里来 At exactly three minutes to 11, you'll enter the house through the street door.
你会找到这个门的钥匙 You'll find the key to this door...
在这里的楼梯地毯下面 under the stair carpet here.
- 第五阶 - 就是那一阶 - The fifth step. - That's the one.
直直走到窗户这边来 Go straight to the window...
藏身在窗帘后面 and hide behind the curtains.
11点整时 我会到饭店电话亭 At exactly 11:00, I'll go to the telephone in the hotel...
去打电话给我老板 to call my boss.
我将拨错号码 这个号码 I shall dial the wrong number, this number.
这是我所有我所要的 That's all I shall do.
等到电话铃响的时候 你会从她卧房门下方看到灯亮 When the phone rings, you'll see the light go on under her bedroom door.
当她把门打开的时候 灯光就会照到这屋子里来 When she opens it, the light will stream across the room.
所以在她接电话前不要动 So don't move until she answers the phone.
必须要声音越少越好 There must be as little noise as possible.
等你完事之后 把话筒拿起来 After you've finished...
轻轻的吹声口哨 然后挂上 pick up the phone and give me a soft whistle and hang up.
不管你做了什么 什么也别说 Don't speak, whatever you do. I shan't say a word.
我什么也不会说 我听了你口哨 When I hear your whistle, I shall hang up and redial...
我会挂上重拨 这次拨对的号码 the correct number this time.
然后 我会像没事发生和我老板谈 I shall then talk to my boss as if nothing had happened
并且回到餐会去 and return to the party.
然后呢？说下去呀 What happens next? Go on.
你会看到这放的行李箱 You'll see the suitcase here.
里面装着我和清洁工的衣服 It contains clothes of mine for the cleaners.
把它打开 把衣服倒到地上 Open it and tip the clothes out onto the floor.
然后 把香烟盒和这些杯子装进去 Then fill it with a cigarette box and some of these cups.
把箱盖给盖上 但是锁别扣上 Close the lid, but don't snap the locks.
然后就把行李箱留在现在那里 Then leave the suitcase there, just as it is now.
看来我像匆忙的离去的 As if I'd left in a hurry.
没错 现在是窗户了 That's the idea. Now, the window...
如果是扣上了 把它打开 并推开别关 If it's locked, unlock it and leave it open.
然后打你进来的原路出去 Then go out exactly the same way you came in.
- 从这扇门出去 - 没错 - By this door? - Yes.
这是最重要的事了 And here's the most important thing.
当你出去时把钥匙放回原处 As you go out, return the key to the place where you found it.
- 放在楼梯地毯上 - 对了 - Under the stair carpet? - Yes.
那 到底真正发生了什么事呢？ Yes, but what exactly is supposed to have happened?
他们会认为你从窗户进来的 Well, they'll assume you came in by the window.
你以为这所公寓是空的 You thought the apartment was empty,
所以你拿了行李箱去装东西 so you took the suitcase and went to work.
她听见了什么声音 She heard something.
她把她房里的灯打开了 She switched on her light.
你瞧见了门下的灯火 就躲到窗帘后面去了 You saw the light under the door and hid behind the curtains.
当她进到这屋里时 你就在她能叫喊前攻击她了 When she came in here, you attacked her before she could scream.
当你了解了 你实际上是把她杀了 When you realized you'd actually killed her...
你慌张了 冲出院子留下了东西 you panicked, bolted through the garden and left the loot behind.
等一等 Just a minute.
我该是从这窗户进来的 I'm supposed to have come in through these windows.
- 假设窗户是锁上的呢？ - 那是没有关系的 - Suppose they'd been locked. - It wouldn't matter.
在她上床前常在院子里散散步 She often walks around the garden before she goes to bed.
而她回来时 经常忘了把窗户锁上 And she usually forgets to lock up when she gets back.
这就是我要跟警察陈述的 That's what I shall tell the police.
没错 但是她可能会说… Yes, but she may say...
但是她什么也不会说了 对不对？ But she isn't going to say anything. Is she?
好吧 All right.
我走出这间公寓 I leave the apartment.
我把钥匙放回楼梯地毯下面 然后从大门出去 I put the key back under the stair carpet and go out by the street door.
假设大门上了锁 Suppose the street door's locked.
- 我怎么进来呢 - 大门是从来都不锁的 - How do I get in in the first place? - The street door is never locked.
- 那你什么时候会回来呢？ - 大约12点 - What time will you get back? - About 12.
我会带哈利戴来 所以我们会一起发现她 I'll bring Halliday back for a nightcap. We'll find her together...
从我们离开她我们就在一起 and we shall have been together since we left her.
这就是我的不在现场证明 And there's my alibi.
- 你忘了一件事 - 什么事？ - You've forgotten something. - What?
当你跟他姓什么的回来时 哈利戴 When you get back with what's-his-name, Halliday...
- 你怎么进屋子来呢？ - 我自己开门进来呀 - how will you get in the apartment? - I shall let myself in.
可是 你的钥匙会在楼梯地毯下呀 But your key will be under the stair carpet.
他会看见你拿 事情就砸了 He'll see you get it. It'll give the show away.
不会的 地毯下的不是我的钥匙 No. It won't be my key under the carpet.
那会是她的钥匙了 It will be hers.
我会从她皮包里摸出来 I shall take it from her handbag and hide it out there...
在我离家前把钥匙藏在那的 just before I leave the flat.
她又不出去 所以不会发现的 She's not going out, so she won't miss it.
当我和哈利戴回来时 我会用我自己的钥匙开门进来的 When I come back with Halliday, I'll use my own key to let us in.
然后当他到院子里去找什么时 Then, while he's out searching the garden or something...
我就会从地毯下拿出钥匙来 并在警察来到之前 l'll take the key from under the carpet and return it to her bag...
- 把钥匙放回她的皮包里去 - 这扇门有几把钥匙？ - before the police arrive. - How many keys are there to this door?
只有她的和我的 Just hers and mine.
- 梅维区499号 - 东尼 是我 - Mavel Z4-double-9. - Tony, it's me.
哈喽 亲爱的 节目怎么样 Hello, darling. How's it going?
棒极了 非常动人 Wonderfully. It's really a dreadful play.
我们都很喜欢 We're enjoying every minute.
我很难过 我是说我很高兴 I'm sorry. I mean, I'm glad.
- 你会来跟我们会合吧？ - 我想不成 - You will join us, won't you? - I don't think so.
我还没开始工作呢 I hardly seem to have started.
亲爱的 等一下 我想门口有人 Darling, just a moment. I think there's someone at the door.
卧室窗外有人会看见你的 You can be seen from the bedroom window.
抱歉 亲爱的 叫错门了 Sorry, darling. False alarm.
你何不带马克到杰利俱乐部去呢 Look, why don't you take Mark to Gerry's.
- 我们怎么进去？ - 只要说我的姓名就行了 - How do we get in? - Well, just mention my name.
我不知道乐队怎样 但是菜肴很好 I don't know about the band, but the food's good.
还有 你走之后摩韵打电话来 By the way, Maureen called after you left...
约咱们星期三去吃晚饭 and wants us for dinner on Wednesday.
可是你的记事本上星期三有写字 You've got something in your diary for Wednesday,
而我看不出来你写的是什么 and I can't read it.
看来像是阿尔·本多 Looks like "Al Bentall."
他是谁？你的另一个男朋友？ Who's he, another one of your boyfriends?
阿伯特大厅 你这白痴 Albert Hall, you idiot.
阿伯特大厅 当然 The Albert Hall, of course.
我好高兴咱们不用去摩韵家 I'm so glad we don't have to go to Maureen's.
- 真是个差劲的厨房 - 我得走了 - She's such a filthy cook. - Well, there's the bell. I must fly.
好的 亲爱的 好好玩吧 All right, dear. Enjoy yourself.
东尼 马丁尼里别加太多水 Tony, don't make that martini too watery.
那印度王子的照片在哪里呢？ Now, where's the picture of the maharajah?
亲爱的 你什么时候才能把这些剪报帖好啊？ When are you going to finish pasting in those clippings?
总有一天吧 I shall find time one of these days.
在这里了 这就是印度王子 Here it is. This is the maharajah.
- 他很迷人吧 - 他有四辆劳斯莱斯和足够的珠宝 - Isn't he dreamy? - He had four Rolls-Royces and jewels...
而他真正想的是打温布顿杯 to sink a battleship, but all he wanted was to play at Wimbledon.
那可怜虫 近视得球拍头 The poor darling was so shortsighted, he could barely see the end of the racket...
- 都看不见 - 你知道 你该… - let alone the ball. - You should...
东尼 谢谢 Thanks, Tony.
你该写一本关于这一切的书的 You should write a book about all this.
你们两个人为什么不合写一本涉及网球的侦探小说？ Why don't you two collaborate, a detective novel with a tennis background.
怎样？马克 你能提供给我… What about it, Mark? You provide me...
- 一个完美的谋杀案吗 - 没有比这件事我更爱的了 - with the perfect murder. - Nothing I'd like better.
你是怎么写侦探小说的呢？ How do you go about writing a detective story?
你得忘记侦探而集中在犯罪上 犯罪才是重点 You forget detection and concentrate on crime. Crime's the thing.
然后你再想像去偷什么或是谋杀什么人 You imagine you're gonna steal something or murder somebody.
是这样的吗 真有意思 Is that how you do it? Interesting.
对 我总是把自己想成是罪犯 然后我不停的自问 I usually put myself in the criminal's shoes and I keep asking myself:
下一步要怎样 "What do I do next?"
你真的相信 有完美的谋杀案吗？ Do you really believe in the perfect murder?
相信 完全相信我是说纸上谈兵 Yes, absolutely. On paper, that is.
而我想 我可以比多数人计划得好 I think I could plan one better than most people...
不过我怀疑 我能把计划付诸实施 but I doubt I could carry it out.
为什么不能呢？ Oh? Why not?
因为故事是照作者想的发展 In stories, things turn out the way the author wants.
而在真实生活中可就不是了 总是如此 And in real life, they don't always.
我怕我的谋杀案会像我打桥牌 No. I'm afraid my murders would be like my bridge:
我犯了一些愚笨的错误 I'd make a mistake and never realize it...
- 而从不知道大家都在看我出丑 - 马克 干杯吧 - till I find everybody looking at me. - Drink up, Mark.
- 好的 - 你明天要做什么 - Yes. - What are you doing tomorrow?
- 不知什么 - 我们何不开车 - Nothing. - Why don't we drive...
- 去温莎吃午餐呢？ - 好主意 - to Windsor for lunch. - That's a good idea.
早点来 但别太早 Come along early, but not too early.
- 我们可以能会宿醉 - 11点行吧 - We may be nursing a hangover. - How about 11?
- 行 - 我们可以在国王头上吃午餐 - Fine. - We can have lunch at the Kings Head.
- 这样做在温莎对吗？ - 不是 只是在外面 - Is that right in Windsor? - No, it's just outside.
亲爱的 你有拿我的钥匙吗？我到处都找不到 Did I lend you my latchkey? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
我不知道 也许两把都在我皮包里 I don't know. I may have them both in my handbag.
我去看看就知道了 I'll just look.
没有 我这里只有一把 No. I've only got one here.
你确定你的没有在你大衣里吗？ Are you sure yours isn't in your overcoat?
没有 我找过了 你的借我好吗 No, I've looked. May I borrow yours?
- 那可不太方便 - 为什么呢？ - Well, that's a bit awkward. - Why?
我可能想要出去呢 I may want to go out.
今晚？ Tonight?
我想我可能去看场电影什么的 Yes, I thought I might go to a movie.
你何不听无线电 周六夜转播呢？ What about the radio? Saturday Night Theatre?
不要 是恐怖剧 我一个人时不爱听恐怖剧 Oh, no. It's a thriller. I don't like thrillers when I'm alone.
- 我知道了 - 反正我会先到家 - I see. - In any case, I'll be back...
可以给你们开门 before you, so I can let you in.
可是我们要过了午夜后才回来 那时你可能已经睡着了 But we won't be back until after midnight. You may be asleep by then.
你反正可以 把钥匙放在鞋垫下面 You can always put your key under the proverbial mat.
没事了 钥匙在我手套里 It's all right. Here it is. It was in my glove all the time.
那好 这就解决问题了 Well, that settles that.
你要去看那场电影呢？ What movie are you going to?
我希望是去看经典名片 The classic, I expect.
- 你进得了场吗？星期六晚上？ - 我总可以试试 - Will you get in? Saturday night? - I can always try.
- 可是 亲爱的 - 别让我待在家里 - But, darling... - Now, don't make me stay home.
我讨厌无所事事 You know I hate doing nothing.
无所事事？你有上百件事可做 Doing nothing? There are hundreds of things to do.
你给佩姬写信 谢她的周末招待吗 Write Peggy, thanking her for the weekend.
还有那些剪报要怎么办呢？这是个理想的机会 And what about those clippings? It's an ideal opportunity.
是呀 我可是喜欢 你们去做乐 Well, I like that. You two go gallivanting...
而我待在家里 弄那些乏味的剪报 while I stay home and do those boring clippings.
- 那好 我们就不去吧 - 这话怎么讲 - Very well. We won't go. - What do you mean?
那很显然 如果你不愿意我们今晚出去 It's obvious you don't want us to go, so we won't.
我们就留下来陪你 We'll stay here with you.
我们玩牌吧 What shall we do, play cards?
东尼 亲爱的 Tony, darling...
我最好打电话去说我们不去了 I'll call the Grendon and tell them we're not coming.
东尼 拜托 别那么孩子气嘛 Tony, please, let's not be childish about this.
好嘛 我整理你的剪报就是 All right, I'll do your old press clippings.
如果你不想 你不用去整理 You don't have to if you don't want to, you know.
可是我想要整理嘛 But I do want to.
我想我去叫计程车 I think I'll try and scare up a taxi.
咱们有浆糊吗？ Have we any paste?
有的 在书桌上有一些 Yes, there's some in the desk, I believe.
- 你需要一把剪刀 - 就在我针线盒里 - You need some scissors. - They're in my mending basket.
我的皮包 Hey, you leave my bag alone.
- 你要多少？ - 我们看看你有多少钱 - How much do you need? - Let's see how much you've got.
- 放手 - 反正你还欠我10先令呢 - You put that down. - You owe me 10 bob anyway.
- 干嘛的 - 我给佩姬… - Why? - I paid that package...
礼盒的钱 谢她帮我们理家的 you sent Peggy. That comes out of housekeeping.
我来拿 现在把你的手拿开 Let me get it, then. Keep your hands off.
现在 你要多少钱？ There, now. How much do you want?
我有3 5 7和6便士 I've got 3, 5, 7 and a six pence.
- 够付来回的车钱了 - 但你还是带些钱去 - It ought to get us there and back. - But you'd better take something.
- 晚餐多少钱 - 已经给了 连小费在内 - How much are dinner tickets? - Paid for, tip included.
要是我钱不够 马克可以付的 If I run short, Mark will help out.
计程车来了 Taxi's here.
东尼 你还算什么呢？ Tony, what are you waiting for?
- 没什么 亲爱的 - 玛歌 再见 - Nothing, dear. - Good night, Margot.
你们什么时候回家呢？ What time will you get home?
我想大约12点 我会带马克回来喝一杯的 About 12. I'll bring Mark back for a nightcap.
- 你会醒着吗 - 我会睡得很沉的 - Will you be up? - I shall be fast asleep...
- 我可不要被吵 - 我们会跟老鼠一样安静 - and I don't want to be disturbed. - We shall be quiet.
- 再见… - 再见 - Good night. - Good night.
- 玛歌 - 在 - Margot. - Yes.
很可能柏吉斯那老头会来电话 You know it's possible old man Burgess might call.
你告诉他我们在得伦顿饭店 可能有重要的事 Tell him we're at the Grendon. It may be important.
- 电话号码呢 - 在本子上 - What's the number? - It's in the book.
好的 All right.
再见 亲爱的 Goodbye, dear.
走吧 马克 All right, Mark.
我是住在达特摩的托贝饭店 你知道达特摩吗？ I'm staying at the Torbay Hotel. You know the hotel in Dartmoor?
托贝饭店并不就在达特摩 而是在那一地区 Well, it's not exactly in Dartmoor, but sort of in the district.
反正你明白 这故事的重点是那是涉及到达特摩监狱的 Anyway, the whole point of this story is that it concerns Dartmoor Prison.
总之 我还是住了托贝饭店 然后一天去了饭店酒吧 I was staying at the Torbay Hotel, as I was saying, I went to the bar...
所以我就转对那家伙说 你愿意加入我们吗？ I turned to him and said, "What are you doing here?"
还说…我是推销员 He says, "I'm a commercial traveler.
我卖农业机械… I sell agricultural machinery." I said...
容我插嘴 那有正确时刻？ Would any of you fellows have the right time?
有 我有…11点过7分 Yes, I have seven minutes past 11.
- 我的表是刚过11点 - 我的表停了 - I make it only just after 11. - My watch has stopped.

别碰任何东西 我马上就回去 Don't touch anything. I'll be with you right away.
- 好的 我不会碰任何东西的 - 别碰任何东西 - No. No, I won't. - Don't touch anything...
也别跟谁说什么 等我回来再说 and don't speak to anybody until I get there.
好的 我不碰任何东西的 No, I won't touch anything.
- 你保证？ - 是的 我保证 - You promise? - Yes, I promise.
只是请快回来 Tony, please be quick.
我就坐在同一个吧台上 I'm sitting at the same bar,
我看到同一个人也在不远 and I see the same man standing at the end of the...
而他向我走过来并且说… He came to me and said...
不…请坐下 我得先告辞了 No, do sit down. I have to run along.
是玛歌 她觉得不太舒服 Margot's not feeling too well.
- 严重吗 - 没什么严重的 - Serious? - Nothing serious.
- 你留下 - 我跟你去 - You stay and enjoy yourself. - I'll come.
不用 没有关系 No. It's perfectly all right.
他买了干马提尼酒 with which he was buying me dry martinis...
东尼… Tony! Oh, Tony.
别怕 亲爱的 别怕 发生什么事了？ It's all right, darling. It's all right. What happened?
他围了什么在我颈子上要勒死我 He put something around my throat.
- 我觉得像是丝袜 - 真的吗？让我看看 - It felt like a stocking. - Are you sure? Let me see.
我起来接电话 而他从窗帘后面走了出来 I got up to answer the phone, and he came from behind the curtain...
并且想要把我勒死 and tried to strangle me.
我几乎昏了过去 我… I almost passed out.
我摸到了剪刀刺了他… I felt the scissors in my hands...
他就放开我倒到地板上了 and then he let go suddenly, and he fell on the floor.
没有流什么血呀 There's hardly any blood.
当他倒下时 他一定… When he fell, he must have...
- 你在干嘛呀 - 找我的… - What are you doing? - I'm trying to find my...
找到了 我的阿斯匹灵 Here they are, my aspirin.
我头疼得要命 I've got such an awful head...
怎么了？ What is it?
我最好去拿床毯子来 I'd better get a blanket.
请把窗户给关上 Shut the window, please.
不行 在警察来之前 我们什么都不能碰 No. We mustn't touch anything until the police arrive.
他偷偷进来 我不知道他是来干嘛的 He must've broken in. I wonder what he was after.
- 我怀疑是那些奖杯 - 警察什么时候会到这呢？ - Those cups, I expect. - When will the police get here?
- 你已经通知他们了 - 没有 - Have you called them already? - No.
你告诉我别跟任何人说话的 You told me not to speak to anyone.
你现在最好给他们打电话吧 Hadn't you better call them now?
是的 Yes.
- 马克呢 - 我叫他直接回家去 - Where's Mark? - I told him to go straight home.
- 接线生 - 接线生 - Operator. - Hello, operator...
- 请快接梅维区警察分局 - 你有告诉他吗 - get me the Maida Vale Police. - Did you tell him?
我不知道发生了什么 我只说你不舒服 I didn't know what had happened. I said that you weren't well.
梅维区警分局 Maida Vale Police.
警分局 有件恐怖的意外 Police? There's been a ghastly accident.
- 是的 先生 - 有人被杀死了 - Yes, sir? - A man has been killed.
- 贵姓？先生 - 温地斯 - Your name, sir? - Wendice.
- 是两个S吗 - 不 是DICE - Is that a double S? - No, D-l-C-E.
CE 你的地址呢？先生 "C-E." Your address, sir?
嘉伦顿公园路61A 一楼公寓 61 A Charrington Gardens, Ground-floor apartment.
- 是一件意外事件吗？ - 我也不知道 - Was it an accident? - I don't know.
先生 你说不知道是什么意思？ What do you mean, you don't know?
你想他是被什么人杀死的？ Do you think he might have been killed by someone?
我不知道 I don't know.
你知道是谁干的吗 Have you any idea who might have done it?
等你们到了我会说明的 要多久呢 I'll explain when you come. How long will it take?
- 大约两分钟 - 两分钟 - About two minutes. - Two minutes.
还有 什么也别碰 And don't touch anything, will you, sir?
好 我们什么也不会碰的 再见 No, we won't touch anything. Goodbye.
- 我去穿衣服 - 为什么呢？ - I'll get dressed. - Why?
- 他们会要看我的 - 他们不会要看你的 - They'll want to see me. - They're not going to see you.
但是他们必得有问题要问我呀 But they'll ask me questions.
等明天 我会告诉他们要的一切 We'll wait until tomorrow. I'll tell them all they need to know.
- 东尼 - 怎样？ - Tony? - Yes?
- 你为什么要我打电话呢？ - 什么？ - Why did you phone me? - What?
抱歉 亲爱的 这事我稍晚再告诉你 I'm sorry, darling, I'll tell you about that later.
我才想到了什么 I just thought of something.
你说他用丝袜 You said he used a stocking?
我想是只丝袜或是条围巾 I think it was a stocking or a scarf.
- 没有在那边吗 - 没有 我想他们会找到的 - Isn't it there? - No, but I expect they'll find it.
现在 你上床去吧 Now you go on to bed.
各位 茶泡好了 Tea, gentlemen?
警佐 看另一只丝袜 Sergeant. Look. It's the other stocking.
好啦 让开吧 大家走啊 All right. Break it up. Let's get moving on.
几乎空了 提醒我去多买些来 Almost empty. Remind me to get some more.
当我们需要时 总是用光了 It always runs out just when we need it.
听我说 在我忘记之前 警佐要知道你 Look, before I forget, the sergeant wanted to know...
为何没有立刻报警 why you didn't phone the police immediately.
- 我怎能报警呢？你在电话上啊 - 我知道 但 - How could I? You were... - I know, but...
你明确的告诉我在你回来之前 You distinctly told me not to speak to anyone...
- 别跟任何人说话 - 亲爱的 我知道 - until you got here. - I know...
我跟他说的不一样 but I told him a slightly different story.
- 为什么呢？ - 我说你没有打电话给警察 - Why? - Well, I said you didn't phone the police...
因为你认为我去饭店打电话 because you naturally assumed that I would do it from the hotel.
你为什么要这么说呢？ Why did you say that?
因为 这是合理的解释而他接受了 Because it was the perfectly logical explanation, and he accepted it.
现在 如果他们认为我们延迟报案 Now, if they get the idea that we delayed reporting it...
他们可能会追问 而问好多问题 they might get nosy and ask all sorts of questions.
- 所以你要我跟你说的一样？ - 亲爱的 我想是的 - You want me to say the same thing? - I think so...
若再提的话 in case it comes up again.
一定是马克 你去给他开门吧 That will be Mark. Would you let him in?
- 早安 夫人 - 早安 - Good morning, madam. - Good morning.
- 温地斯太太 - 是的 - Mrs. Wendice? - Yes.
我是警官 我可以进去吗？ I'm a police officer. May I come in?
当然可以 Of course.
失陪 我去告诉我先生你来了 Excuse me. I'll just tell my husband you're here.
谢谢你 Thank you.
- 早安 - 先生 早安 - Good morning. - Good morning, sir.
我是哈伯探长 I'm Chief Inspector Hubbard,
专司调查刑事案件 in charge of Criminal Investigation of this division.
我想 我们给了你的警佐整个案情 I think we gave your sergeant all the information.
没错 我当然看了他的报告了 Yes. I've seen his report, of course...
不过还是有几件事 我想亲自问清楚些 but there are a few things I'd like to get firsthand.
温地斯太太 我知道警佐只看了你一下 对吧？ I gather the sergeant only saw you for a few moments, Mrs. Wendice?
- 是的 我… - 我太太是在 - Yes, I... - My wife was suffering...
惊吓中 from considerable shock.
是啊 这是你有过的很糟的经历 Yes, that was a very nasty experience you had.
你不介意我四处看看吧？ Mind if I take a look around?
请便 卧室和浴室往这边走 Go ahead. The bedroom and bathroom are through here.
他当然不是从浴室进来的 He certainly didn't get in by the bathroom.
而厨房窗户是有铁栏的 And the kitchen has bars on the window.
如果我们假设他必定是从这的窗户进来的 We assume he must have come in through these windows here.
我了解此事发生时你不在家 I understand you weren't here when this happened.
没错 我在伦顿饭店参加晚宴 No, I was at a dinner party at the Grendon Hotel...
由于巧合 事实上在我太太受攻击时 正打电话给她 and by coincidence, I was phoning my wife when she was attacked.
我知道 So I gather.
你知道确实的时间吗？ Can you tell me exactly what time it was?
不 我怕我没办法 我确实记得我的表停了 No, I'm afraid I can't. I do remember my watch had stopped.
温地斯太太 你有注意到吗？ Did you notice, Mrs. Wendice?
- 没有 我没注意 - 探长 请坐 - No, I didn't. - Won't you sit down, inspector.
谢谢你 Why, thank you.
你知道他是什么人吗？ Have you any idea who he was?
知道 至少我们找到了他的住处 Yes. At least, we've discovered where he lived.
对于他的真实姓名还没弄清楚 There still seems to be some confusion as to his real name.
他有好几个姓名 He appeared to have several.
你以前见过他吗？ Had you ever seen him before?
没有 当然没有见过 Why, no, of course not.
- 对 这就是他 - 没错 - Is this him? - Yes.
你不认识他吗？ You don't recognize him?
不认识 我从未看过他 No, I never saw him.
但是你连他的脸都没看一眼吗 But didn't you even catch a glimpse of his face?
没有 他是从我背后攻击我的 No. You see, he attacked me from behind, and it was dark.
又很暗 我根本没看到他 I hardly saw him at all.
是的 在我给你看这些照片之前 Yes, but before I showed you these photographs...
你说你从未见过他 you said you'd never seen him before.
如果昨晚从未看他的脸 你怎会知道是他呢 How could you know that if you never saw his face last night?
我不太懂你的意思 探长 I don't quite understand.
我太太只是要说 就她所知 Inspector, my wife simply means that as far as she knew...
她以前从未见过他 she never saw him before.
- 这是你要说的吗 - 是的 - Was that what you meant? - Yes.
那你呢 先生 你以前见过他吗 Now, how about you, sir? Had you ever seen him before?
没有 No.
- 没有 至少… - 怎样？ - No, at least... - Yes?
像我上大学时的某个同学 He's very like someone I was at college with,
但是胡子就十分不像了 but the mustache makes a difference.
他姓什么？ What was his name?
我不知道 那是廿年前的事了 I don't know. It must be 20 years since I left it.
- 是姓李斯盖特的 - 不是 - Was it Lesgate? - No.
- 威尔逊 - 不是 - Wilson? - No.
- 史望 - 不… - Swan? - N...
史望 Swan.
等一下 史望 对了 就是他 Wait a minute. Swan. Yes, that's it.
这是我们大学同学会照的旧照片 我们上同一所大学 Here's an old photo taken at a reunion. We were at the same college.
他就在那 真是不可思议 There he is there. Why, it's unbelievable.
- 你跟他熟吗 - 不熟 他是我的学长 - Did you know him well? - No. He was senior to me.
- 后来你见过他吗 - 没有 至少… - Have you met him since then? - No, at least...
对了 我最近看到过他 Come to think of it, I did see him quite recently.
- 但是没有说话 - 是什么时候 - But not to speak to. - When was that?
大约6个月前 在维多利亚火车站 Six months ago, at a railway station.
我记得我注意到他没什么改变 Victoria, I think. I remember noticing how little he'd changed.
先生 他那时留了胡子了吗 Had he a mustache then, sir?
没有 No.
温地斯太太 你可以告诉我昨夜事情发生的经过吗？ Mrs. Wendice, would you show me exactly what happened last night?
- 东尼 我非得这样吗？ - 亲爱的 我怕是的 - Tony, do I have to? - I'm afraid so, darling.
电话铃响时 我人在床上 I was in bed when the phone rang.
然后我就起来 到这来 And I got up, and I came in here.
- 你有开这个灯吗 - 没有 - Did you switch this light on? - No.
告诉我你确实的位置 Just show me exactly where you were standing.
我站在这 然后我拿起了话筒 I stood here, and I picked up the phone.
等一下 你确定 你是像这样 Just one moment. Are you sure you had your back...
- 背对窗户吗？ - 确定 - to the window like that? - Yes.
- 但是为什么呢？ - 为什么不呢？ - But why? - Why not?
我是说为什么走过书桌去 I mean, why go around the desk?
换我会从这一边接 I should have picked it up from this side.
我总是在这里接电话的 But I always answer the phone from here.
但是 为什么呢 总之 But why?
要是我得写下什么来的话 我可以用左手拿着话筒 In case I have to write anything down, I can hold the phone in my left hand.
我懂了 抱歉 继续吧 I see, yes. I'm sorry. Go on.
当我拿起话筒时 When I picked up the phone...
他一定是从那些窗帘后面来 并且攻击我 he must have come from behind those curtains and attacked me.
- 他在我颈部围了件东西 - 东西？ - He got something around my neck. - Something?
你说东西是什么意思 What do you mean?
我想是一只丝袜 I think it was a stocking.
我懂了 然后又怎样了呢？ I see. And what happened then?
然后他把我推过了书桌 Well, then he pushed me across the desk.
我很清楚记得摸索那把剪刀 I remember feeling for the scissors.
剪刀平常是放在那的？ Where were those scissors usually kept?
在那针线盒里 我忘了把剪刀放回去了 In that mending basket. I'd forgotten to put them away.
什么使你想起 他是从窗帘后出来的 Now, what makes you think he came from behind those curtains?
- 不然从哪呢 - 窗帘是拉上 - Where else could he have been? - The curtains were drawn?
- 对 是拉上的 - 是你自己拉的？ - They were. - Did you draw them?
不是 探长 是我出门前拉上的 No, inspector, I drew them just before I went out.
- 你同时也扣上了窗户吗 - 是的 - Did you lock the window at the same time? - Yes.
- 你很确定吗 - 非常确定 - Are you quite sure of that, sir? - Perfectly sure.
我拉窗帘时总是锁上窗户的 I always lock up when I draw the curtains.
那他怎么进屋来的 How do you suppose he got in?
我们认为他破门而入 We assume that he broke in.
但是没有破门而入的迹像 There's no sign of a break-in.
我们的报告显示锁没有被破坏 Our report shows the lock's quite undamaged.
温地斯太太 Mrs. Wendice...
在这件事发生之后 你为什么没有立刻报警呢？ why didn't you call the police immediately this happened?
我正想打电话给警方 I was trying to call to the police...
但发现我先生正在线上 when I discovered my husband was on the line.
我自然想在他回家之前 I naturally thought that he would call the police from the hotel...
- 他会从饭店打电话给警方 - 你有想过找医生来吗？ - before he came here. - Didn't it occur to you to call a doctor?
- 没有 - 为什么呢 - No. - Why ever not?
- 他已经死了 - 你怎么知道他死了 - He was dead. - How did you know that?
我… I...
- 那是显然的 - 你有按他的脉博吗 - It was obvious. - Did you feel his pulse?
没有 我当然没有 No. Of course I didn't.
谁都会知道他死了 Anyone would have realized he was dead.
只要看那对瞪着的眼睛就行了 Just one look at those staring eyes...
所以 你必竟看了他的脸了 So you did see his face after all.
我看到他的眼不记得他的脸了 I saw his eyes! I can't remember his face!
探长 我太太显然没见过这个人 Inspector, my wife obviously had never seen this man before.
不是从那窗户进来 他怎么进来？ And if he didn't come in by those windows, how did he get in?
事实上 我们十分肯定他是从这扇门进来的 As a matter of fact, we're quite certain that he came in by this door.
但那门是锁着的 But it was locked.
玛歌？我们走了之后你开过门吗 Margot, did you open that door at all after we'd gone?
- 没有 - 一共有几把钥匙呢？ - No. - How many keys are there to this door, sir?
只有两把 我的在我皮包里 你带着你的 Only two. Mine was in my handbag, and you had yours with you.
对 没错 Yes, that's right.
- 管理员有钥匙吗 - 没有 - Has the caretaker got a key? - No.
你有雇清洁妇吗？ Do you employ a charwoman?
有雇 但她也没有钥匙 Yes, but she hasn't got one either.
当她来时 我总是在家的 I'm always here when she comes.
是什么使你们认为 他从这进来的 What makes you think he came in this way?
- 他的鞋 - 他的鞋？ - His shoes. - His shoes?
昨夜地面是湿的 The ground was soaking wet last night.
如果他是从院子进来的 他会在地毯上留下脚印 And if he'd come in by the garden, he'd have left mud all over the carpet.
实际上他一个脚印也没留下 As it is, he didn't leave any marks at all...
因为他在前门垫上擦过鞋 because he wiped his shoes on the front doormat.
- 你怎么知道 - 那门垫还很新 - How can you tell? - It's a fairly new mat...
有些纤维还在他的鞋上 and some of its fibers came off on his shoes.
- 但…的确 - 门垫上留有柏油 - But surely... - And there was a small tar stain...
有些纤维上也看得出来 on the mat, and some of the fibers show that as well.
那是毫无疑问的 There is no question about it.
等一下 Wait a minute.
我想我弄明白了 I think I've got it.
记得你的皮包被偷时 Remember when your bag was stolen?
- 记得 - 那钥匙在皮包里吗？ - Yes. - Wasn't the key inside?
是的 但我皮包找到时钥匙还在 Yes, but it was still there when I got it back.
等等 我倒想听听这件事 Now, just a moment. I'd like to hear about this.
- 是什么样子的皮包 - 是手提包 探长 - What sort of bag? - A handbag, inspector.
我太太在维多利亚车站掉的 My wife lost it at Victoria Station.
但我两周后 在失物招领处找到了 But I got it back from the lost and found two weeks later.
- 有什么东西不见了吗？ - 所有的钱都不见了 - Was anything missing? - All the money was gone.
- 其他的呢？ - 没有 - Anything else? - No.
- 我是说文件或是书信 - 没有 - No papers or letters? - No.
- 你确定吗？ - 确定 - Are you quite sure about that? - Yes.
你皮包遗失时 钥匙在皮包里？ And your latchkey was in your handbag when you lost it?
是的 但皮包找到时钥匙还在 Yes, but it was still there when it was returned.
用那些偷的钱 可以复制一把钥匙 But whoever stole the money could have copied the key.
最后皮包是在哪里找到的呢？ Where was the bag found eventually?
在维多利亚车站 At Victoria Station.
先生 你说你在那儿看过这个人 Wasn't that where you said you saw this man, sir?
你是什么时候掉的皮包？ When did you lose the bag?
是不是 我们去看佩姬的那个周末 Wasn't it that weekend we went to visit Peggy?
没错 我想起来了 Yes, it was. I remember now.
他就坐在餐厅 He was sitting in the restaurant.
- 你的皮包是在餐厅掉的 - 没错 - Was that where you left your bag? - Yes...
我不是提过有个大学同学吗 and didn't I say something about, "There's someone from college"?
- 我不记得了 - 那就是他怎么进来的 - I don't remember. - That's how he got in.
他复制了一把 原来的放回皮包 He made a duplicate and returned the original to the bag.
在你再往下说之前他怎么进大门的呢？ Before you go any further with this, how did he get in through the street door?
- 大门是从来都不上锁的 - 我明白了 - The street door is never locked. - I see.
他…他可能复制了你的钥匙 Well, he could have had your key copied.
而他可能用那把钥匙开门 And he could have used it to open the door.
但是 当然 他没有用 But, of course, he didn't.
- 为什么呢 - 因为要是他用了 - Why not? - Because if he had...
他死时钥匙应该还在他身上 the key would still have been on him when he died.
但是我们翻他口袋 没有发现钥匙 But no key was found when we went through his pockets.
看来咱们又回到开始时了吧？ We seem to be back just where we started.
那也不见得 Well, not quite.
那他是怎么进来的呢？ Well, then how did he get in?
咱们最好把这些都写在纸上 We'd better get all this down on paper.
我要两位在审讯前 做正式的笔录 I'd like you both to make an official statement before the inquest.
我的办公室 离这里只有几分钟路 My office is only moments from here.
也许你们现在就可以来 Perhaps you could come now.
- 东尼 玛歌 - 马克 这位是哈伯探长 - Tony. Marg... - Mark, this is Inspector Hubbard.
- 探长 这位是马克·哈利戴 - 他昨夜和我在一起 - Inspector, this is Mark Halliday. - He was with me last night.
- 探长 你好 - 哈利戴先生 - How do you do? - Mr. Halliday.
你昨夜和温地斯先生在一起 你也许可以帮上点忙 As you were with Mr. Wendice last night, you may help us.
你记得 他去打电话时是几点吗？ Now, did you notice what time it was he went to the phone?
记得 正好是11点过3分 Yes. Matter of fact, it was three minutes after 11.
你怎么会去注意这事呢？ How did you come to notice that?
温地斯先生的表停了 我们有些人在比对时间 Mr. Wendice's watch had stopped. Some of us compared times.
谢谢 你要知道 就是温地斯太太 Thank you. See, it was when Mrs. Wendice came in here...
过来接电话时 她受到了攻击 to answer his call that she was attacked.
你是在给你老板电话之前还是之后给玛歌打的电话？ Did you phone Margot before or after your boss?
马克 我正要问你呢 Tony, I know what I wanted to ask you.
你昨夜为什么打电话给我？ Why did you telephone me last night?
等等 别让我忘了这条线索 Now, just one moment, before I lose the thread of this.
在11点过3分 你从宴会出来去给老板打电话 Now, at three minutes past 11, you left your party to phone your boss.
对 我用大厅里的公共电话 Yes, I used the lobby pay phone.
你跟你的老板谈了多久 How long were you on the phone to your boss...
在你给尊夫人打电话之前呢？ before you called your wife?
事实上我根本没跟他谈话 I never did speak to him.
我忘了他的乡间电话了 I couldn't remember his number
所以我打电话给我太太来问 so I rang my wife to look it up in the address book.
你是你弄醒我就为了问他电话 You mean, you hauled me out of bed to get his number?
亲爱的 我必须这样 我老板今早要飞到布鲁塞尔 I had to. My boss was flying to Brussels this morning.
我要提醒他一件很重要的事 I wanted to remind him of something. It was rather important.
饭店里没有电话簿吗？ Wasn't there a directory in the hotel?
有 但没有登录他乡间的电话 Yes, but his country number wouldn't be in that directory.
- 你给他打电话了吗 - 没有 - And did you phone him? - Oh, no.
自然没有 当我听到这里的事 When I heard what happened here...
- 我把那件事全都给忘记了 - 是呀 - I forgot all about it. - Yes.
哈利戴先生 温地斯先生 太太 Mr. Halliday, Mr. and Mrs. Wendice are coming...
现在来我办公室 来做他们的笔录 to my office now to make their statements.
你能把你的地址给我吗？以便我要和你连络 Would you give me your address, sir? I may want to get in touch.
- 当然 - 我去拿大衣 - Certainly. - I'll just get my coat.
- 我住在卡菲饭店 - 就写在这上面行吗？ - I'm staying at Carfax Hotel. - Just write it down there, will you?
把你的电话号码也写上 Your telephone number as well.
- 先生 你以前来过这吗？ - 来过 大约在1年前 - You ever been over here before, sir? - Yes. Yes, about a year ago.
- 写好了 - 谢谢你 - There you are, sir. - Thank you.
温地斯先生 房子前有一群人 Mr. Wendice, there's quite a crowd in front of the house.
我建议咱们从院子出去 I was going to suggest we left by the garden.
- 门是不是在另外一头 - 没错 - Isn't there a gate at the far end? - Yes.
我怕可能锁了 The gate may be locked.
- 你去看看好吗 - 当然好 - Would you mind taking a look, sir? - Certainly.
他对你和温太太的事 知道多少？ How much does he know about you and Mrs. Wendice?
- 你说什么？ - 你从纽约给温太太 - I beg your pardon? - You wrote a letter to Mrs. Wendice...
写了封信 那封信就在死者的口袋里 from New York. It was found in the dead man's inside pocket.
我没有提 因为我不能肯定温先生对这事知道多少 I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure how much Mr. Wendice knew.
你知道信是怎么会在那人口袋里 Have you any idea how it got there?
不知道 No.
- 东尼呢 - 他在院子里 - Where's Tony? - He's just gone into the garden.
温太太 当你皮包掉了时 Mrs. Wendice, when you lost your handbag...
- 你是不是也掉了一封信？ - 没有 - did you lose a letter as well? - No.
玛歌 那封信在死者口袋里被找到了 Margot, it was found in the dead man's pocket.
你掉了那封信 对吗？ You did lose it, didn't you?
是的 我是掉了信 Yes, I did.
我原来问过你的 对吗？ I asked you that before, didn't I?
是的 但我丈夫不知道这件事 Yes, but you see, my husband didn't know about it.
这个人是否在勒索你呢？ This man was blackmailing you, wasn't he?
玛歌 东尼一定得知道这件事 It's no good. Tony will have to know.
- 不要 - 我们唯一能做的事 - No. - It's the only thing we can do.
温太太掉了我的信之后 After Mrs. Wendice lost my letter...
她收到了这两张便条 she received these two notes.
去年十月… Last October?
你看过这个人多少次？ How many times have you seen this man?
我从来就没有看过他 I've never seen him!
- 哈利戴先生 我要你跟我们来 - 好的 当然 - Mr. Halliday, come with us. - Yes, of course.
温太太 Mrs. Wendice...
当你来做笔录时 when you make your statement...
也许还有别的警官在场 there may be other police officers present.
我要先警告你 你说的任何话 I shall warn you first that anything you say...
都会被记下来并被用来当证据 will be taken down and may be used in evidence.
现在别管你告诉了我什么 Now never mind what you've told me so far.
我们先暂时忘掉吧 We'll forget all about that.
但是从现在起要告诉我们 你对这个男人确实知道什么 But from now on, tell us exactly what you know about this man...
以及昨夜确实发生的事 and exactly what happened last night.
如果你想隐瞒任何事 If you try and conceal anything at all...
那可是对你非常不利的 it may put you in a very serious position.
我希望你能说明这些话的意思 I wish you'd explain what you mean by this.
我会的 I will.
现在你承认你杀了此人 Now, do you admit that you killed this man?
而你会说你是出于自卫吧？ Well, you say you did it in self-defense.
不幸的是 没有证人 Unfortunately, there were no witnesses...
所以我们只有你的话来证实 so we've only your word for that.
但是探长 我在电话里有听到 But I heard it all, inspector, over the telephone.
温先生 你在电话里听到了什么 What exactly did you hear, Mr. Wendice?
我听到了断断续续的叫声 I heard a series of faint cries.
你有没有听到什么显示挣扎的声音呢？ Did you hear anything to indicate that a struggle was going on?
我听到的是我太太所告诉我的 What I did hear, inspector, is perfectly consistent with what my wife told me.
所以你真正知道这件事 全是你太太告诉你的 对吗 So all you really know of the matter is what your wife told you, isn't it?
而你认为此人来偷你家东西 Now, you suggest that this man came to burgle your flat.
但这事是没有证据的 But there's no evidence of that.
然而 他勒索你可是有证据的 There is evidence, however, that he was blackmailing you.
- 勒索 - 东尼 我怕这是事实 - Blackmail? - Yes, I'm afraid that's true, Tony.
而你认为他是从窗户进来的 And you suggest he came in by the window.
我们知道他是从那门进来的 And we know that he came in by that door.
但是他不可能 那门是锁住的 But he can't have come in that way. That door was locked.
而只是两把钥匙 And there are only two keys.
我先生的在他那 我的在包里 My husband had his with him. Mine was in my handbag.
就在这 Here.
你可以让他进来呀 You could have let him in.
你是认为是她自己让他进来的？ Are you suggesting she let him in herself?
眼前看来 这是他唯一进来的方法 At present, that appears to be the only way he could've entered.
你难道不相信我被攻击了吗？ Don't you even believe I was attacked?
你想我是怎么会有 这些擦伤的？ How do you think I got these bruises on my throat?
你自己可以弄那些擦伤 You could have caused those bruises yourself.
一只丝袜在窗户外面被发现 A silk stocking was found outside the window.
那上面打了两个结 It had two knots tied in it.
这事对你可有任何意义吗？ Does that mean anything to you?
我想那就是他用的丝袜 I suppose it must have been the stocking he used.
我们找到了一只的另外一只 藏在这个垫板下面 We found the twin stocking hidden underneath this blotting pad.
你可以解释攻击你的人为什么要这么做吗 Can you explain why your attacker should do that?
不能 No.
那双袜子是你的吧 Those stockings were yours?
- 不是 - 我们知道是你的 - No! - We know they were.
有一只的跟部用丝补过 所用的丝和原来的不同 One of the heels had been darned with some silk that didn't quite match.
我们在你的针线盒里找到这种丝 We found a reel of that silk in your mending basket.
东尼 这里原来有一双丝袜的 Tony, there was a pair of stockings here.
我听说过警察故意放置线索以确保能破案定罪 I've heard of the police deliberately planting clues to ensure a conviction.
他的手下 在这待了好几个小时 His men were here for hours last night.
他们可以拿了 那只袜子随便处理 They could have taken those stockings and done anything.
当然 也许还在门垫上 Of course. Probably wiped his shoes...
- 擦鞋呢 - 喂 - on the doormat as well. - Hello?
喂 罗杰 感谢上帝你在 Hello, Roger, thank heaven you're in.
我是东尼·温地斯 我们昨夜遭小偷了 Tony Wendice here. Listen, we had a burglary last night...
- 玛歌受到了攻击 - 玛歌？她受伤了吗 - and Margot was attacked. - Margot? Was she hurt?
她没事 但是那人被杀死了 警察在这 She's all right, but the man was killed. The police are here.
别笑 他们认为玛歌故意杀了他 Don't laugh. They are suggesting that Margot killed him intentionally.
先生 我可不会这么说 I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.
- 这可真是妙 - 可笑 对吧？ - Well, that's a good one. - Yes, it is funny, isn't it?
罗杰 你可否到梅维分局来一趟 Could you come around at once, Maida Vale Police Station?
- 可以 马上就去 - 多谢 老兄 再见 - Yes, be there right away. - Thanks, old boy. Goodbye.
亲爱的 没关系 罗杰会到分局来 It's all right, darling. Roger's gonna meet us there.
温先生 我要忠告你们… Mr. Wendice, I should advise you...
我们的律师会给我们忠告的 谢谢你 Our lawyer will give us any advice we need, thank you.
玛歌… Margot...
- 你的皮包 - 谢谢 - here's your handbag. - Thank you.
- 你要来吧 - 探长 我当然要去 - You are coming? - But of course, inspector.
是呀…我只是… 我只是不知道 Yes. Well, I just... I mean, I just wondered.
我控诉你在9月26日 I charge you, that on the 26th of September...
你有意的谋杀了查尔斯亚历山大史望 you did willfully murder Charles Alexander Swan.
你对这项指控 有什么话要答辩吗 Do you wish to say anything in answer to this charge?
而你 在你这一生的任何时间 And did you, at any time in your life...
会见过这个叫史望的人吗 meet this man Swan?
你收到一封哈利戴写给你的信 You received a letter from Mr. Halliday.
这封信在死者口袋里被找到了 This letter was found in the dead man's pocket.
现在你说你不认识他 Now you say you did not know him.
你们可有认定犯人玛歌·玛丽·温地斯 Do you find the prisoner, Margot Mary Wendice...
有罪还是无罪？ guilty or not guilty?
有罪 Guilty.
本庭对于你的判刑是将你送回你所来的地方去 The sentence of this court is that you be taken to the place...
从那里到一个依法执死刑的地方 from whence you came, from thence to a place of lawful execution.
- 哈喽 马克 - 东尼 - Hello, Mark. - Tony.
我… I...
你有任何来自内政部长的消息吗 Have you gotten any news from the home secretary?
那就是明天了？ Then it's tomorrow?
东尼 我知道你肯做任何事以救她的命 Tony, I take it you'd do anything to save her life.
我们已经做了一切了 We've done everything.
没有 东尼 我们没有什么都做 No, we haven't done everything.
我想了好几个星期 I've been trying to figure out something...
要找出法子来 just in case it came to this.
现在我相信这是她唯一的机会 I really believe it's her only chance.
那就说来听听 Let's have it.
玛歌被定了罪 因谁都不相信她 Margot was convicted because nobody believed her story.
检方认定她 一个谎接着一个谎说 The prosecution made out she was telling lies...
陪审团又相信他 这案子有什么 and the jury believed him. What did his case really amount to?
只有三样东西 我的信她的丝袜 Just three things: My letter, her stocking...
以及在史望身上 没有钥匙的事实 and the fact that because no key was found on Swan...
她一定是自己让他进来的 she must've let him in.
- 别想告诉我… - 等等 东尼 - Don't tell me... - Wait a minute.
听我说 这是你进来的地方 Now, hear me out. This is where you come in.
你得到警方去 告诉他们一个故事 Now, you've got to go tell the police and tell them some story.
任何会说服他们 玛歌没说谎的事 Anything to convince them Margot wasn't lying after all.
警察不像是会相信我的话 The police aren't likely to believe anything I tell them.
东尼 我写这东西许多年了 Tony, I've been writing this stuff for years.
我想出了一件 让你告诉他们的事 I've figured out something for you to tell them.
现在我们 把环给一个一个的连上 Now, let's take those points one by one.
玛歌说她绝对没有让史望从这扇门进来 Margot says she never let Swan in through this door.
好 Okay.
他反正是把门打开了 He must have opened it somehow.
假设你告诉警方你把你的钥匙留在外头什么地方了呢 Suppose you tell the police that you left your key out here somewhere?
那么史望就可以自己进来了 Then Swan could have let himself in.
- 他怎么知道钥匙在那里呢？ - 是你告诉他的 - How did he know it was there? - You told him.
但我有廿年没见过史望了 But I haven't met Swan in 20 years.
东尼 史望己死了 Tony, Swan is dead.
我们得善加利用这一点 We've gotta make the most of that.
你可以说任何关于他的故事 你甚至可说 You can tell any story you like. You can even say...
你们俩见了面你们一起计划了这整件事 you two met somewhere and planned this whole thing together.
计划什么？ Planned what?
你是认为我安排史望 Are you suggesting I arranged for Swan to come here...
- 来勒索她？ - 不是 - to blackmail her? - No.
是来杀她的 To kill her.
- 来杀玛歌 - 就是这样 - Kill Margot? - That's it.
- 为什么呢 - 因她这么说的 - Why? - Because she said so.
他从窗帘后头走出来 "He came from behind the curtain...
他想要把我勒死 and he tried to strangle me."
好 这就是他所做的 Okay, that's what he did.
你所要做的是 就是支持她所说的 Just support everything she said.
这就是我整个的构想 Don't you see? That's my whole idea.
那你的信呢？人是不会去杀 What about your letter?
他想勒索的人的 A man doesn't kill the person he blackmails.
- 这样讲不通 - 我知道 我对这点担了一下心 - That doesn't make sense. - I know. It worried me too.
但我也想出了解决的方法 But I've got that licked.
你告诉他们你自己 偷了她的皮包 You tell them that you stole her handbag yourself.
我为什么要这么做呢？ Why should I do that?
因你想要看我的信 Because you wanted to read my letter.
当你看了我的信你发怒了决定给她个教训 When you read it, you got mad and decided to teach her a lesson.
所以你写了那些勒索便条 You wrote those blackmail notes.
谁也不能证明你没有写 Nobody can prove you didn't.
你也可以说 你没在车站看见史望 And you can also say you never saw Swan at Victoria Station.
你编的好把他和我的信 扯上关系 You just invented that to try to connect him with my letter.
你看不出来这上面的关连吗？ You see how it all hangs together?
可是你的信在他口袋被找到的 But your letter was found in his pocket.
- 是你放进去的 - 什么时候放的 - You put it there. - When?
就在警察到这前那段时间 Sometime before the police arrived.
而你还可以… And you could have also...
同时放置那只丝袜 planted the stockings at the same time.
马克 我为什么找人来杀玛歌呢 Mark, why should I want anyone to kill Margot?
我知道 I know, Tony.
东尼 我们难于去面对 It's tough for us to see because we...
因为我们两人都爱她 We both love her.
但是我们现在需要一个理由 But we need a reason now.
我们非常的需要这个理由 We need it badly!
我们来拿一个古老库存的动机 Let's take one of the old stock motives.
- 玛歌有立遗嘱吗？ - 有 我相信他立了 - Had Margot made a will? - Yes, I believe she had.
- 谁是受益人 - 我想是我吧 - Who was the beneficiary? - Why, I am, I suppose.
- 这就是你的理由 - 上万的夫妻 - There's your reason! - Thousand of husbands and wives...
彼此留钱给对方 也没说会彼此谋杀的呀 leave money to each other without murdering each other.
警方 一个字也不会相信这个说法 The police wouldn't believe it. They'd take it as a man...
一个拼命想救他太太的男人 trying desperately to save his wife.
总之 是值得一试的 Well, I certainly think it's worth that try.
他们不会为了 谋杀不成而吊死你 Face it, they can't hang you for a murder that never came off.
顶多是你在监狱里待上几年 The most you'd get would be a few years in prison.
感谢之至 Thanks very much.
东尼 救她一命这是很小的代价 It's a small price to pay. You'd save her life!
马克 这话出自你口可真好 That's fine coming from you, Mark.
要不是因为你 她不会有生命之危 Her life wouldn't be in danger at all if it hadn't been for you.
由于她和你之间的关系 It's because of her association with you...
她失去了陪审团的同情心 that she lost the sympathy of the jury.
别会错意 马克 Don't get me wrong, Mark.
只要有点机会 我当然会去做 If there was the slightest chance of this coming off, I'd do it.
但是 那一定要有说服力 But it's got to be convincing.
比方说 我怎能说动史望干这事 For instance, how could I have persuaded Swan to do a thing like this?
你若应给他钱或是什么的 You offered him money or something.
什么钱 我什么钱也没有 What money? I don't have any.
有的 玛歌的钱 Yes! You'd have had Margot's.
那要好久我才能到手呀 It would be months before I get my hands on that.
人们不会让你 欠钱去干谋杀案的 And people don't commit murder on credit.
不会的 我…我怕你得想个比这更好的说词 No, I'm... I'm afraid you'll have to think of something better than that.
我知道你是想要伸出援手 但 I know you're trying to help.
你能想像会有谁相信这故事吗 But can you imagine anyone believing a story like that?
能 我能 如果你使他们相信 Yes, I can. If you make them believe it!
我不知道怎么说 你得跟我去 I wouldn't know what to say. Come with me.
东尼 这才真是个错误呢 他们知道我写的东西 That would be a mistake. They know the stuff I write.
就没机会了 We wouldn't stand a chance...
探长 你好 Hello, inspector.
是为了我太太的事吗？ Is it about my wife?
- 先生 不是 我怕不是 - 那么是为了什么呢？ - No, sir, I'm afraid not. - Then what is it?
我正在调查一件和三周前 I'm making inquiries in connection with a robbery that took place...
- 所发生的抢案有关连的事 - 能等几天吗？ - about three weeks ago, sir. - Can't it wait a few days?
当然可以 先生 我对你的处境是很能体会的 Of course, sir. I'm very conscious of your position.
如果容我说 我想说我是多难过 If I may, I'd like to say how deeply sorry I am...
是的 探长 有何我可效劳之处 Yes, inspector, all right. Now, how can I help you?
一个在里伯利街工厂的出纳在他的办公室被攻击了 The cashier of a factory in Ledbury Street was attacked in his office...
而两个男子抢走了几百英镑 and two men made off with several hundred pounds...
多数是1英镑的钞票 mostly in pound notes.
这跟我有何关呢 像这种案件 What is all this to do with me?
所有的警察单位 全被要求去寻找 In these cases, all police divisions are asked to keep a lookout...
花大把钱的人 for anyone spending large sums of money.
- 我明白了 - 我不知道 - I see. - And I was wondering...
- 你最近有没有为了现金 卖了什么东西 - 什么 - if you'd sold anything recently for cash. - Why?
我的警佐 有一天在威尔斯修车厂 My sergeant happened to be making inquiries...
进行调查工作 而查出来了 at Wales' Garage the other day, and it appears that you...
你最近在那有一笔为数大约… settled an account there recently for...
刚超过60英镑的交易 just over ￡60.
那时候我身上有现金 Yes, I happened to have quite a bit on me...
所以我就以现金支付了 so I settled for cash.
我明白了 你是否 刚从你的银行里提了钱呢 I see. Had you just drawn this money from your bank?
你去过我的银行去吗？探长 Have you been to my bank, inspector?
去过 事实上我去过 但是他们不肯帮助我 Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. But they wouldn't help me.
银行帐目都被严密看守着的 Bank statements are always jealously guarded.
我要怪的是你没有先来找我 Yes, but I'm rather surprised you didn't come to me first.
反正只是列行公事 It was only a routine matter after all.
我不想来打扰你 I didn't want to disturb you.
你那些现金是那儿来的？先生 Where did you get it, sir?
这事跟你有关吗？ Is that any of your business?
如果钱是偷来的 就是我的事了 If it was stolen money, yes, sir, it is my business.
- 你不介意我抽烟吧 - 请便 - Do you mind if I smoke? - Go ahead.
你真的认为我在接收贼款吗？ Do you really think I've been receiving stolen money?
除非你告诉我钱是哪儿来的 Until you tell me where you got it,
我就不知道该怎样想了 对吧 I shan't know what to think, shall I?
如果你这钱是来自某个陌生人 You see, if you got this money from someone you didn't know...
那可能就是我们要找的人呢 I mean, that might be the very person we're looking for.
哈喽 Hello.
- 先生 这是你的吗？ - 什么东西 - Is this yours? - What is it?
谁的钥匙在地板上 Somebody's latchkey. It was lying on the floor just here.
不是 我的就在这里 No. Mine's here.
不是…这把不是你的 No. No, it's not yours.
我想可能是我的 It may be mine, then.
没错 就是我的 Yes. Yes, it is mine.
一定是从口袋的小洞掉出来的 It must have dropped out of the pocket. There's a small hole there.
这就是这些钥匙的问题 它们长得全都一样 That's the trouble with these latchkeys, they're all alike.
先生 抱歉 你在说… Sorry, sir, you were saying?
我想我没说什么 我有吗？ I don't think I was, was I?
对了 关于钱的事 Yes, yes. About that money.
如果你告诉我来源 我会很感激的 I'd be grateful if you'd tell me where you got it.
总之 100英镑在身上不是少数 A hundred pounds is a lot to carry around.
- 刚才你说的是60英镑的 - 我有吗？ - You said 60 a moment ago. - Did I?
对了… 我的警佐决定在他写报告前 Oh, yes. Yes, my sergeant decided to dig a little deeper...
要更深入的调查一番 before he put in his report.
他说你还支付了你的裁缝 He said that you also paid a bill at your tailor's...
以及淡酒和烈酒等帐单 and another for wines and spirits.
我很抱歉为这小事你来找我 I'm sorry he went to that trouble.
我一下子就可以说明白了 Had he come to me, I could have explained it.
我只是赢了一场赛狗而己 I simply won rather a large sum at dog-racing.
- 超过100英镑？ - 对 超过100镑 - Over ￡100? - Yes. Over ￡100.
从前也赢过 当然 It has been done before, you know.
那你为什么不立刻说呢 Why didn't you tell me this straightaway?
我去赛狗感到很不好意思 I was ashamed of being caught going to dog-racing...
在我太太被判了死刑的时候 when my wife was under sentence of death.
我知道 这样你会忘记所有烦恼 Yes, I know how it is. It helps take your mind off things.
这样一切都明白了 对吧？ Well, that answers everything, doesn't it?
我为这事来打扰你很抱歉 I'm sorry to bother you at this time.
探长 一点也没有… Not at all, inspector. Not at all.
还有另外一件事 先生 There's just one other thing, sir.
你是不是有一个 蓝色小手提箱？ Have you a small, blue attache case?
- 别说你已经找到了 - 你弄掉了吗 - You found it already. - Why, have you lost it?
是的 我正想下午去报案呢 Yes. I was going to report it this afternoon.
- 我想我是掉在计程车上了 - 我明白了 - I think I left it in a taxi. - I see.
我们…得设法把它找回来 We must try and get it back, mustn't we?
你是在哪搭的计程车呢？ Where did you pick the taxi up, sir?
海德公园的街角 约在半小时前 Hyde Park Corner, about half an hour ago.
- 里头有值钱的东西吗 - 没有 几本书 - Anything valuable? - No. A few books and...
- 有钱在里头吗？ - 我相信2、3英镑吧 - Any money? - Two or three pounds in an envelope.
- 不是2~300镑吧 - 不 不是的 - Not 200 or 300? - No, I'm afraid not.
- 那就无所谓了 - 探长 - Just as well. - Tell me, inspector...
你怎么知道手提箱的？ how'd you find out about the attache case?
你去付了帐酒店提到这手提箱 The wine shop said you had it when you paid your bill...
所以 我的警佐就去问你的修车厂 so my sergeant checked on your garage and tailor.
和你的裁缝 他们去记得你有 They remembered you had it when you paid them.
我是用 这手提箱来替代公事包的 Yes, well, I use it instead of a briefcase, you see.
这些计程车司机在归失物上 These taxi men are pretty good at turning things in.
表现是很好的 我会为你找到的 I hope you'll find it all right, sir.
探长 在你走之前 Inspector, before you go...
我想温先生有件事要告诉你 I think Mr. Wendice has something to tell you.
他有吗？ Oh, has he?
这里有样东西我要给你看 先生 And I'd like to show you something in here, sir.
怪不得你受不了 睡在她的卧室里 No wonder you couldn't bear to sleep in her bedroom.
这一定超过有500英镑 先生 There must be over ￡500 here.
你这些钱是打哪弄来的？ Where did you get it?
我可以告诉你 他为什么弄这钱来 I can tell you why he got it.
这些钱用来付给 一个姓史望的人 This money was to have been paid to Swan...
在他谋杀了温太太之后 after he murdered Mrs. Wendice.
可是 你知道 事情出了意外 But as you know, there was an accident...
所以就不用付钱给史望了 so it wasn't necessary to pay Swan after all.
总之 他不能存这些钱 而不被传去问话 He couldn't produce this without questions being asked...
所以他就花掉 so he lived on it.
他从3月27日就开始花用了 He's been living on it since the 27th of March.
温先生 你怎么说呢？ Well, Mr. Wendice?
探长 在你来之前 他想说动我到警方去 Before you came, he was trying to persuade me...
讲个最精彩你没听过的故事 to go to the police with the most fantastic story you ever heard.
显然的 我贿赂史望 来谋杀我太太 所以… Apparently, I bribed Swan to murder my wife so that...
马克 要是我说错了 纠正我 Correct me if I go wrong, Mark.
所以我可以继承她所有的钱 So that I could inherit all her money.
还不只是这样呢 And that isn't all.
你还记得哈利戴先生的信 You remember Mr. Halliday's letter?
显然的 史望没偷 是我偷的 Well, apparently, Swan didn't steal it, I did.
而我还写了那两封勒索的便条 And I wrote those two blackmail notes...
并且保留了哈利戴先生的信 然后把它放在死者的身上 and I kept Mr. Halliday's letter and planted it on the body.
- 还有丝袜… - 对了 丝袜 - And the stocking... - Yes, the stocking.
还是我来说 马克 这听起来才更像是招供呢 I'd better tell this. It sounds more like a confession.
我替换了 这字眼正确吗？ I substituted... Is that the right word?
是的 我用我太太的丝袜替换了那条… Yes, I substituted my wife's other stocking for the one that...
你听懂我的话吧？还有什么呢？马克 You do follow me, don't you? What else, Mark?
他告诉史望 他把钥匙藏在这一带 He told Swan he'd hide his key somewhere out here...
也许在门框上头 probably up on this ledge.
史望就自己开门进来了 Swan let himself in.
他藏身在窗帘后面 然后温地斯从饭店打电话来 He hid behind the curtains, then Wendice telephoned.
- 这就使她… - 等一下 - That brought her... - One moment.
如果史望用了温先生的钥匙 If Swan had used Mr. Wendice's key,
他死时钥匙应该在他身上才对 it would have been on him when he died.
而且 温先生回来时怎么进门呢 Besides, how did Mr. Wendice get in when he returned from the hotel?
反正 她可以开门让他进来 She could have let him in.
而他可以在警察来之前 从史望口袋里把钥匙拿出来 He could've taken his key from Swan's pocket before you got here.
他是用自己钥匙的 这是在审判时在庭上说的 He let himself in with his own key. That came out in the trial.
- 你记得吗？ - 马克 让你说了 - Don't you remember? - Come on, Mark. Your move.
史望可能从这里把钥匙拿下来 Swan could have taken the key down from here...
把门打开 unlocked the door...
在他进门之前 把钥匙放回原处 then replaced the key on the ledge before he came in.
好啦 哈利戴先生 很有意思 This is all very interesting, but it isn't getting me any nearer...
但并不是我来此所要寻找的 to what I came to find out.
这是生死的问题 还有什么呢？ But this is life-and-death. What else matters?
对我来说 温先生钱的来源 What matters to me is where Mr. Wendice got this money.
是我所想要知道的事 That's all I want to know.
请等一下 先生 Just a moment. Please, sir.
探长 等等 看看这个 Inspector, wait a minute! Look at this.
最后他签的支票是3月26日 The last check he wrote was on the 26th of March.
那就是这一切发生在那天的前一天 That's the day before this all happened.
我告诉你 从那天起他就花现金了 He's been living off it since.
- 银行… - 哈利戴先生 - That's his bank's... - Mr. Halliday.
抱歉 Sorry.
他从银行没有提领超过52英镑以上的大笔现款 He hasn't drawn any large sums from his bank. Nothing over ￡53.
但 探长 你看 But look, inspector...
事实上 每周都提35英镑 40 45英镑 practically every week, ￡35, 40, 45, 50.
他可以将它保存起来 He could have saved it up.
当然 我可以用许多年来计划 I could have been planning all this for years.
- 那么你那钱是从哪弄来的？ - 你真的想知道吗？ - Then where did you get it? - Do you really want to know?
- 我警告你 你不会喜欢听的 马克 - 说呀 - I warn you. You won't like it, Mark. - Come on.
好吧 这是你自找的 All right, you asked for it.
当她那夜把我从宴会中叫回来 When she called me back from the party that night...
我发现她跪在史望的尸体边 在他的口袋里翻 I found her kneeling beside Swan's body, going through his pockets.
她不停的说他有属于她的东西 但她找不到那东西 She kept saying he had something of hers, but she couldn't find it.
她几乎要精神崩溃了 所以我才没有让警方询问她 She was almost hysterical. That's why I wouldn't let police question her.
在那情况 她还是满口谎话 In the state she was in, she would have told every lie under the sun.
第二天早上她把钱拿给我看 The next morning, she showed me the money...
就是这些 全是1英镑的钞票 just as it is now, all in ￡1 notes.
她说 如果有任何事发生在我身上 And she said, "If anything happens to me,
可别让他们发现这些钱 don't let them find this."
总之 她被捕之后 我就把手提箱里的钱原封不动的 Well, after she was arrested, I took the money in that case...
拿到车站去存放在寄物处里 to Charing Cross Station and left it in the checkroom.
只要我需要钱的时候 我就拿出来 Whenever I needed money, I took it out...
再存入另一寄物处 and left it in some other checkroom.
我知道如果你们发现她就完了 I knew if you had found it, she wouldn't stand a chance.
她本来就要把那些钱给他的 但反之她却把他给杀了 You see, she was just about to give it to him when she killed him instead.
你不会盼望谁会相信这些吧？ You don't expect anyone to believe this, do you?
我实在是不知道 探长 你认为怎样呢？ I have really no idea. What about it, inspector?
我得说 我怀疑过像这类的事 I must say, I suspected something like that.
你是说你查都不查这件事了？她明天就要被吊死了 You're not going to check up on this? She's being hanged tomorrow.
这所有的事已经不是我掌管了 All this has been out of my hands for months.
这些个月来 审判 上诉 There's been a trial and an appeal...
当然 这事你觉得无所谓对吧 Of course it wouldn't mean much to you.
你得承认你逮捕错了人了 You'd have to admit you arrested the wrong person.
- 我想你还是走吧 - 你说对了 我会走的 - I think you'd better go. - You bet I'll go.
但你犯了一个错误 But you've made one mistake.
当玛歌听到这件事会怎样呢？ What will happen when Margot hears this?
- 当然 她会否认的 - 而且也许她会改她的遗嘱的 - She'll deny it, of course. - And perhaps she'll change her will.
马克 你就会白忙一场了 You'll have done it all for nothing, Tony.
如果我告诉你他所编的故事 会有谁会相信我吗？ If I'd told that story of his, would anyone believe me?
没有 不可能的 No, not a chance.
在每一次执行死刑之前总会有人来这一套的 Before nearly every execution, someone comes forward like this.
今天这么一来 This must have been distressing for you...
- 你一定很不好受 - 你想他们会让他见她吗？ - coming as it did. - You suppose they let him see her?
我现在不希望有事再烦她了 I don't want her upset just now.
跟你律师谈 他可以阻止的 Have a word with your lawyer. He might be able to prevent it.
在有人动那些钱的脑筋前 还是存进银行去吧 You should get that money in the bank before somebody pinches it.
谢谢你 我想我会去存的 Thank you. I think I will.
我希望哈利戴先生 没在外面等我 I hope Mr. Halliday's not waiting outside to see me.
你不介意去看看 确定他已经走了吧？ Would you mind just taking a look, sir, to make sure he's gone?
- 他走了 - 那好 - All clear. - Good.
还有 先生 他们要我告诉你 By the way, sir, I was asked to tell you...
有些属于温太太的东西在分局 there are a few belongings of Mrs. Wendice at the station.
- 是什么东西呢 - 一些书以及她的皮包 - What sort of things? - Just books and a handbag.
他们希望你找时间去拿 They'd like you to come and collect them.
- 你是说明天以后？ - 对 如果你愿意 今天也行 - You mean, after tomorrow? - Yes, or today if you like.
就问值班警佐就行了 他知道 Just ask the desk sergeant. He knows all about it.
是的 再见 温先生 我想我们不会再见面了 Well, goodbye, Mr. Wendice. I don't suppose we shall meet again.
再见 谢谢你 探长 Goodbye, inspector, and thank you very much.
- 梅维分局 - 我是探长 - Maida Vale Police. - Chief inspector here.
快给我接欧布兰警佐 Give me Sergeant O'Brien, quick.
- 欧布兰 - 哈伯 - O'Brien here. - Hubbard.
欧布兰 我又进来了 Look, O'Brien, I've got back in again.
- 开始按计划行事吧 - 立刻办 长官 - Start the ball rolling. - Right away, sir.
哈伯探长 Inspector Hubbard.
是我 马克哈利戴 It's me, Mark Halliday.
你想要怎样？有什么主意？ Now what are you up to? What's the idea?
- 你在这干嘛 - 这个你别管 - What are you doing? - Never mind.
- 我不知道你为什么来这 - 你还是快走吧 探长 - I was wondering why... - Get out of here.
- 听着… - 闭嘴 - Listen, inspector... - Shut up!
如果你要救温太太 别说话 让我处理这事 If you want to save Mrs. Wendice, keep quiet. Let me handle this.
你可能… How are you possibly going to...?
这是怎么回事啊？ Look, what is all this?
他们说我们是扁足警察 They talk about flatfooted policemen.
愿圣人保护我们来对抗一个业余的高手 May the saints protect us from the gifted amateur.
你最好预备好接受一个惊奇 哈利戴先生 You'd better prepare yourself for a surprise, Mr. Halliday.
玛歌 Margot!
马克 Hello, Mark.
- 东尼呢 - 他… - Where's Tony? - He...
- 他出去了 - 他什么时候会回来呢 - He's gone out. - When will he be back?
我们不知道 We're not sure.
- 刚才是你按门铃吗 - 是的 - Was that you who rang just now? - Yes.
- 你为什么不给我开门呢？ - 你有钥匙 - Why didn't you let me in? - You've got a key.
- 为什么不用呢？ - 我用了 - Why didn't you use it? - I did...
- 可是打不开锁 - 对了 你知道是为什么呢？ - but it didn't fit the lock. - You know why, don't you?
不 我不知道 锁被换掉了吗？ No, I don't. Has the lock been changed?
把你的皮包给我看一下 May I have your bag a moment?
这把钥匙是谁的？ Whose key is this?
我想这把是我的 I thought it was mine.
我不知道 I don't know.
到底是怎么回事啊？ What's going on here?
你丈夫已经说明这个了 你要知道 Your husband's explained this, you know.
你现在可以全都告诉我们了 You can tell us all about it now.
那是什么？ What is it?
我不明白 I don't understand.
对 我相信你是不明白的 No, I don't believe you do.
- 皮尔逊 - 是的 长官 - Pearson. - Yes, sir.
把这皮包送回分局去 Take this handbag back to the police station...
- 并把那辆车开走 - 是的 长官 - and get that car out of the way. - Yes, sir.
等等 你这呆子 你不能这样上街 Wait a minute, you clod. You can't walk down the street like that.
你会被逮捕的 把皮包放到这里来 You'll be arrested. Here, put it in this.
玛歌 你是怎么到这来的？ Margot, how did you get here?
我不知道 I don't know.
大约1小时前 典狱长来看我 About an hour ago, the warden came to see me...
他说 我要被带回家 and just said I was to be taken home.
然后两个探员带我到这儿来了 Then two detectives brought me here.
他们说 我可以走了 可是我打不开门 They said I could go, but I couldn't get that door open.
东尼到那去了？ Where's Tony?
他今天早上该来看我的 He was supposed to visit this morning...
而他们说他不能来了 and they said he couldn't come.
他发生了什么事了吗？ Has anything happened to him?
没有 没有事 No. Nothing.
探长 我不是想要干涉 I don't want to interfere...
但是 你可以告诉我们你到底在做什么呢 but do you think you could tell us what you're up to?
温太太 我要告诉你的事可能会吓到你 Mrs. Wendice, what I'm about to tell you may come as a shock.
怎样呢？ Yes?
我们非常怀疑你的丈夫计划了要谋杀你 We strongly suspect that your husband had planned to murder you.
东尼安排了史望那晚来这杀你 Tony arranged for Swan to come here that night and kill you.
你知道这件事有多久了？ How long have you known this?
- 你自己不怀疑这件事吗？ - 不 从未怀疑过 - Did you suspect it yourself? - No, never.
然而… And yet...
马克 我是怎么了？ What's the matter with me, Mark?
我好像对什么都没感觉了 I don't seem able to feel anything.
我是不是该崩溃或什么的 Shouldn't I break down or something?
那只是行动迟缓 如此而己 It's delayed action, that's all.
过几天之后 你就会有最棒的崩溃了 In a couple of days, you're gonna have the most wonderful breakdown.
你是什么时候发现的？先生 When did you find out, sir?
头一个线索来得相当意外 Well, the first clue came quite by accident.
我们发现你丈夫在所有的地方 We discovered that your husband had been spending...
花费了大量的现金 全是1镑纸钞 a large number of pound notes all over the place.
最后总数超过了300英镑 It ran into over ￡300.
而开始的时间 大约就是你被捕时 And it appeared to have started at about the time you were arrested.
现在我得知道他那些钱是从哪以及怎么弄来的 Now, I had to find out where he got that money and how.
然后我想起来了 在你被捕之后我们搜过这间屋子 Then I remembered that after you were arrested we searched this flat.
我在这书桌上 看见他的银行帐目 And I saw a copy of his bank statement in that desk.
所以昨天下午我到监狱去 并且要求看你的皮包 So yesterday afternoon, I went to the prison and asked to see your handbag.
我要这么做的目的是摸走你的钥匙 While I was doing this, I managed to lift your latchkey.
很不合规定 当然 但是我就是不服输 Highly irregular, of course, but my blood was up.
然后今天早上当你丈夫出去时 And then this morning, when your husband was out...
我回到这来看他的帐目 I came back here to look at his statement.
我没看到 因为我进不了这扇门 I never saw it because I never got through that door.
你看 我从你皮包里拿来的钥匙 You see, the key that I'd taken from your handbag...
不是开这个锁的 didn't fit the lock.
威廉斯 Williams?
温地斯 Wendice.
这可真是好险呀 That was a near one.
梅维分局 我是欧布兰 Maida Vale Police. O'Brien speaking.
哈伯 听我说 欧布兰 他发现了他的大衣了 Hubbard. Look, O'Brien, he's found out about his raincoat.
他刚回来 可是进不来 我想现在 He just came back and couldn't get in.
他是往分局去的路上了 I think he's on his way to the station now.
皮尔逊把皮包送到了没有？ Has Pearson arrived with the handbag?
- 送到了 长官 - 很好 - Yes, sir. - Good. Now, listen.
把那些书和皮包给温地斯 Give Wendice those books and the handbag...
并且确定他看到那把钥匙 and make sure he sees the key.
最好叫他查看皮包里的东西 而且要他签收 Better make him check the contents and sign for them.
如果他要他自己的钥匙和大衣 If he wants his own key and raincoat...
- 告诉他我到哥拉斯哥去了 - 知道了 - tell him I've gone to Glasgow. - Right, sir.
- 有问题吗？ - 没有 那好 - Any questions? - No questions.
他一离开分局就打电话来给我 Call me back when he leaves the station.
好的 长官 Right, sir.
怎样 哈利戴先生 你找到没？ Well, Mr. Halliday, have you got it?
我没找到 那温太太的钥匙呢 I don't think so. Where's Mrs. Wendice's key?
用了我正好半小时 找到这把钥匙 It took me just half an hour to find it.
但是如果钥匙在那里 刚才温地斯为什么不用呢？ But if it was there, why didn't Wendice use it just now?
他没用是因为 他不知道钥匙在那 He didn't use it because he doesn't realize it's there.
他仍然以为 钥匙在他太太皮包里 He still thinks it's in the handbag.
你几乎是接近正确答案了 You see, you were very nearly right.
他告诉史望他会把你的钥匙放在楼梯地毯下面 He told Swan that he would leave your latchkey under the stair carpet.
并且告诉他离开时再放回原处 And told him to return it to the same place when he left.
但是当史望被杀之后 我们自然认为你的钥匙 But as Swan was killed, we assumed that your key...
应该在史望的口袋里 would still be in one of Swan's pockets.
这是他的一个小错误 That was his little mistake because Swan had done...
因为史望所做的正是你建议的 exactly as you suggested, Mr. Halliday.
他把门打开 He unlocked the door...
然后在他进门之前 把钥匙放回原处了 then returned the key before he came in.
从那时起 那钥匙就一直在那了 And it's been out there ever since.
而温地斯 从史望口袋里拿的钥匙 And the key Wendice took out of Swan's pocket...
- 并放回她的皮包里的是… - 史望自己的钥匙 - and returned to her handbag was... - Swan's own latchkey.
你猜怎样 甚至我也没立刻猜到 Mind you, even I didn't guess that at once. Extraordinary.
在史望尸体上没有找到钥匙一直在困扰着我 You know, it had always puzzled me that no key was found on Swan's body.
总之 大多数人身上都带钥匙 After all, most men carry a latchkey about with them.
然后 我有了灵感 And then I had a brain wave.
我把在你皮包里的钥匙拿着 I took the key that was in your handbag...
到他的女友凡登太太家去 而把她家的大门打开了 to his girlfriend's, Mrs. Van Dorn's, and unlocked the door of her flat.
然后我借了她的电话 打电话给苏哥兰场 And then I borrowed her telephone and called Scotland Yard.
- 你为什么带我到这来呢？ - 因为你是唯一可能把钥匙 - Why did you bring me here? - You were the only other person...
放在外头的另一个人 who could possibly have left that key outside.
我…我一定得查出来你是不是知道钥匙在那里 I had to find out if you knew it was there.
如果我知道呢？ Suppose I had known?
你并不知道 You didn't.
- 马克 - 怎样？亲爱的 - Mark. - Yes, darling?
我想我就要崩溃了 I think I'm going to have that breakdown.
- 哈伯探长 - 欧布兰？ - Inspector Hubbard? - O'Brien?
是 他刚离开分局 Yes. He's just left the station.
好的 Right.
努力再多支持一会儿 Try and hang on just a little longer.
威廉斯 他刚离开分局 Williams, he's just left the station!
- 他往这走时打个暗号给我 - 把手巾借我一下 - Give me a thump if he comes this way. - Do you have a handkerchief?
现在怎么样了？ What happens now?
迟早他会回到这来的 Sooner or later, he'll come back here.
我拿走了他的钥匙 他就会试用皮包里的那一把 As I've pinched his latchkey, he'll try the one in the handbag.
当那一把开不了门时 他就了解他的错误 细心一想 When that doesn't fit, he'll realize his mistake.
就会到楼梯地毯下去找 Put two and two together and look under the stair carpet.
要是他不去找 我们这些猜谜 But if he doesn't do that, all this is guesswork.
- 什么也证明不了 - 完全正确 - We can't prove a thing. - That's perfectly true.
但是 一旦他把那扇门打开了 就一切真相大白了 But once he opens that door, we shall know everything.
- 然后呢？ - 我要亲自打电话给内政部长 - What will you do then? - I'm to phone the home secretary.
- 他现在正等待电话呢 - 那温太太呢？ - He's standing by for a call now. - And Mrs. Wendice?
就没有什么好怕的事了 Will have nothing else to fear.
- 还好吗？玛歌 - 是的 我很好 - All right, Margot? - Yes, I'm all right.
你们俩现在别出声 Quiet, now, you two.
- 他在干嘛？ - 他在想 - What's he doing? - He's wondering why...
为什么那把钥匙开不了门 that key doesn't fit.
他往后面入口去了 他又停下了 He's going around to the back entrance. He's stopped again.
他现在在看着皮包 He's looking at the handbag now.
他想要回忆起来他是什么时候把钥匙放回去的 He's trying to remember when he put the key back in there.
他现在放弃了 Now he's given up.
我怕这回我们没法子了 他往街那头走了 I'm afraid we've had it this time. He's going way down the street.
等等 他又停下来了 Hold it. He's stopped again.
他转过身来了 He's turning round.
他在盯着那把钥匙看 He's staring at the key.
当然嘛 那是史望的钥匙 Of course, that's Swan's key, isn't it?
现在他想明白了 他很快的往回走 Now he's got it! He's coming back fast.
他想起来了 He's remembered.
马克 正如你所说的 在纸上谈兵是可能会成功的 Well, as you said, Mark, it might work out on paper, but...
但是… 探长 恭喜你 Congratulations, inspector.
还有… By the way...
玛歌 你怎么样了？ How about you, Margot?
是的 我可以做一件事 Yes, I could do with something.
- 马克？ - 我也可以 - Mark? - So could I.
探长 我想你还在值班吧？ I suppose you're still on duty, inspector.
