皮埃尔来的时候 他还道歉说 When Pierre arrived, he apologized
他发了梦魇[法语] and said he had been having a cauchemar.
做了噩梦 A nightmare.
然后我听到他用盥洗盆的声音 Then I heard him use his washbasin.
我也就知道这些了 And that is the last thing known.
我求你 先生[法语] 你千万不要拒绝 I beg of you, monsieur. You cannot refuse.
可这是南斯拉夫警察的职责 But it is the duty of the Yugoslavian police.
啊 什么? 先生[法语] 让他们在我的火车上审问旅客吗? 绝对不行 Oh, what, monsieur, to question my passengers on my line? Never.
你现在必须解开这个谜题 Now you must solve the mystery.
等到了布罗德 要是能到的话 When we get to Brod, if we ever do,
就可以把既成的事实[法语]告诉警方 we present the police with a fait accompli.
我们说发生了谋杀案 这就是凶手 We say that a murder has occurred. There is the criminal.
我想把软座车厢留出来 I should like the Pullman coach reserved
用作专门的调查办公室 for the investigation's headquarters.
一切听凭你的吩咐 It will be at your disposal.
我还要一张开往加来车厢的平面图 注明所有旅客的 And a plan of the Calais coach with the names and locations
姓名与铺位号 好的 会给你的 of all the people in it. Yes, it will be there.
还有所有相关旅客的护照 And the passports of all the passengers concerned.

我得去做个特别通知 谢谢[意大利语] I go to make a special announcement now. Grazie.
把所有旅客的护照都拿给波洛先生[法语] Bring all the passports to Monsieur Poirot.
火车上还有其他旅客吗? Are there any other passengers on the train?
软座车厢只有我和比安奇先生 In the Pullman coach, nobody but myself and Mr. Bianchi.
那么[法语] Alors.
那么我们就得把所有精力都放在加来车厢上了 Then we must concentrate on the Calais coach.
而我则有个不成熟的想法 凶手现在就在我们中间 Where, in my amateur opinion, the murderer is with us now.
女士们 先生们 请耐心一些 Ladies and gentlemen. Please, please, patience.
请大家务必耐下性子 各位都有机会 You must have patience. Now, you will all get the chance
在最佳的时间和赫尔克里·波洛先生[法语]谈自己的看法 to state your views to Monsieur Poirot at his own good time.
现在 请… 这不是什么最佳时间 是糟糕的时候 Now, please... It is not good time. It is bad time.
神的律法已被践踏 "不可杀人" God's laws have been bust, thou shalt not kill.
"不可杀人"引自《圣经·旧约·申命记》5:17 和合本
为什么没立刻通知我 先生[意大利语] 比安奇先生? And why was I not notified at once, Signor... Mr. Bianchi?
我与他关系最近 我和凶手离得最近 I was his nearest associate. And I was nearest to his murderer.
您是说您看见凶手了? 能认出他来? You mean you saw the man? You can identify the murderer?
我不是这个意思 I mean nothing of the kind.
我是说 昨晚我包厢里有个男人 I mean there was a man in my compartment last night.
当时漆黑一片 当然 我吓得双眼紧闭 It was pitchdark, of course, and my eyes were closed in terror.
您怎么知道是男的? Then how did you know it was a man?
因为我和两任丈夫的关系都很亲密 Because I've enjoyed very warm relationships with both my husbands.
即使闭着眼睛? 是的 With your eyes closed? That helped.
请原谅 不管怎样 他身上有烟味 Excuse me. Anyway, the man smelt of tobacco.
麦奎恩先生 波洛先生[法语]希望 Mr. McQueen, Monsieur Poirot would be grateful
占用您一点时间 for a few minutes of your time.
请原谅 您不认为那个男人 Excuse me. Don't you agree the man
是从我那儿进到雷切特先生的包厢去的吗? must've entered my compartment to gain access to Mr. Ratchett?
我想不出有其他原因 太太 I can think of no other reason, Madame.
皮埃尔 万能钥匙 Pierre, your passkey.
这儿呢 波洛先生[法语] Voila, monsieur.
你能悄悄地帮我搞一个女士的帽匣么? And will you discreetly procure me a lady's hatbox,

需要确认的事情太多了 but there has been much to establish.
您请坐 麦奎恩先生 如果您能 Please be seated. Now, Mr. McQueen, I should be grateful
告诉我一些有用的东西 比方说… for anything you can usefully tell me. What, for example, is?
先让我把几件事情弄清楚 波洛先生 Let's get just a couple of things straight first, Mr. Poirot.
比方说 您是谁? 在这个调查中是什么身份? Who, for example, are you, and what is your status here?
抱歉 Excuse me.
波洛先生[法语]是位侦探 Monsieur Poirot is a detective,
我以官方名义委托他调查这案子 officially delegated to investigate this case by me.
我们先从手边的事情开始吧 您和雷切特先生是什么关系? Let us proceed with the matter in hand. Your relationship with Ratchett?
我是他的 曾是他的秘书 I'm his... I was his secretary.
干了多久? 差不多一年 For how long? A year, give or take.
你们在哪里碰到的? 在波斯 Where did you meet? In Persia.
他在收藏戈尔甘陶器 做得相当成功 He was collecting Gorgan pottery with considerable success.
戈尔甘: 伊朗中北部城镇
而我正试图获取开采石油的特许权 And I was trying to collect oil concessions, you know,
可进展甚微 最后破产失业了 with so little success that I went bankrupt,
他给了我这份工作 我就接受了 and he offered me the job. I took it.
从那之后呢? 我们四处旅行 And since then? Well, we've traveled around.
他不会外语 在国外沟通有困难 He was hampered by not knowing any languages.
更多时候我是个传话员 而非秘书 I acted more as his courier than as his secretary.
工作本身还挺愉快的 It was a pleasant enough job.
雷切特先生是美国哪里人? What part of America did Ratchett come from?
不知道 I don't know.
事实上 他对自己的过去向来三缄其口 The fact is, he never talked about his background.
为什么呢 依您看? 我曾认为 Why, do you think? Well, I used to...
起初我相信他离开美国 Well, I began to believe that he had left America
是为了躲避什么事 to escape something, you know.
或什么人 直到几星期前我还一直认为他办到了 Or someone. And until a couple of weeks ago, I think he succeeded.
然后呢? And then?
嗯 他开始收到匿名信 Well, he began to get these anonymous letters,
恐吓信 像这两封 threatening letters, like these.
"我将杀死凶手" "I kill killers."
"做好死的准备" "Prepare to die."
言简意赅 但感觉上又何其复杂 How brief. But in a sense, how complicated.
昨晚 我注意到您在贝尔格莱德车站拍电报了 Last night, I noticed you dispatching a telegram from Belgrade Station.
是的 一离开贝尔格莱德 That's right. Let's see, he sent for me
他就叫我把电文给他过目 to see the text right after we left Belgrade.
然后他就 嗯 反正那是我见他的最后一面 And then he went... Yeah, it was the last I ever saw of him.
还有别的恐吓信吗? Were there any other threatening letters?
有的 但他不给我看 Yeah, but none that I was allowed to read.
他总是 总是烧掉它们 He used to... He used to burn them.
这就解释了… That explains...
什么? What?
我对帽匣的兴趣 My interest in hatboxes.
它正是我需要的 Precisely what I needed.
医生 先说伤口 Doctor, first the wounds.
您数出来是十二个? 是的 You counted a dozen? Yes.
五个深的 其中三刀是致命的 Five are deep, of which three are lethal.
其他的较浅 The rest are shallow.
有两个 And two...
浅得就像抓伤似的 ...are so slight as to be mere scratches.
这说明什么呢? What does that suggest?
有两个凶手 一个力气大 一个力气小吗? That there were two murderers, a strong man and a weak man?
或者一个是弱女子 Or a weak woman.
或者一个强壮的男人刺的时候 Or a strong man stabbing the victim both strongly
有深有浅 意图迷惑大家 and weakly in order to confuse us.
我们至少知道 案发的时候 At least we know that by the time of the murder,
雷切特被下了药 不能呼救或用这个自卫了 Ratchett was too drugged to cry out or defend himself with this.
您怎么猜到? But how did you guess?
不是猜的 是他给我看的 就在他想给我一万五千美金 I didn't. He showed it to me when he offered me $15,000
雇我做他的保镖时 但我拒绝了 to be his bodyguard and I refused.
我是不是本应同意呢? Ought I to have accepted?

一支抽剩下的雪茄 A smoked cigar.
一根烟斗通条 还有这个 A pipe cleaner... And this.
首字母H 这个应该不难查到 The initial H. That should not be hard to identify.
不知这是教名还是姓 I wonder, Christian name or surname?
等我们查了护照再说 We must wait until we examine the passports.
比安奇 医生 Bianchi, doctor,
你们是否发觉 这包厢里的线索有点太多了呢? has it occurred to you that there are too many clues in this room?
咱们接着看 我相信这是最后一条线索 Let us proceed by examining what I hope will prove to be the last of them.
烧过的纸片 The burnt paper.
我用它来修整唇髭 I use it for the mustaches.

但他的背后还有个主谋 But he was only the number two.
这个主谋的部下 起初吓得不敢指认头头 The subordinate of a boss whom, at first, he was too terrified to identify.
直到电刑当晚 他才供出了头头的名字 Only on the eve of his electrocution did he give the name of the boss,
但那会儿 主谋早已拿着赎金溜之大吉了 who by then had disappeared with the ransom money.
我记得我当时颇感耻辱 因为那主谋有个意大利语名字 I remember feeling ashamed that he had an Italian name.

我看见上校回到自己的15号包厢 I saw him walk back into his compartment, number 15,
再也没出来过 which he did not leave.

有的 有位女士打开了包厢门 No, but there was one lady who opened a door,
我不知道是哪一间 I don't know which, and walked
她朝厕所去了 in the direction of the toilet
就是靠餐车那边的走廊尽头 at the far end of the corridor, next to the dining car.

我还会用剩下的左手杀了他 And I'd have killed him with my left.
看来您觉得自己本可以伸张正义? You feel you could've done the good deed yourself?
看起来我把自己说得像杀他的凶手 It seems like I'm kind of incriminating myself.
要是您因为雇主的死而过分悲痛 I should be more inclined to suspect you, Mr. McQueen,
我反倒会怀疑您 麦奎恩先生 if you displayed an inordinate sorrow at your employer's decease.

是将要执行的任务? Was it some task that had to be performed?
是必须忍受的考验? Some ordeal that had to be endured?
还是有待完成的黑暗使命? Some dark deed that had to be dispatched?
波洛先生 这些问题我无法轻易回答 Mr. Poirot, I'm not at liberty to answer any of those questions.

上校先生[法语] 别挡路 Mon colonel. Out of my way.
回答我 等什么都结束? So answer my question. When what was all over?
等什么都已过去? 回答我 When what was behind? Answer my question.
把您的手从德本汉小姐身上拿开 Get your hands off Miss Debenham.
我没意识到我的手碰着她了 I was not aware that I was keeping my hands on Miss Debenham.
我只问了个简单的问题 I asked her a simple question
可她就是不说 我听到了 which she refused to answer. So I heard.
那也许您能替她回答 Then perhaps you can answer it for her.
若此事与谋杀无关 Can you give me your solemn oath,
作为外国人 as a foreigner,
您愿意发誓决不泄露 that if the answer has nothing to do with the murder,
一个字吗? you'll treat it confidentially?
我发誓 I will.
六个月前 就是认识德本汉小姐之前 Six months ago, before I'd even met Miss Debenham,
我的堂客 什么? my memsahib... Come again?
我的妻子 My wife
说她厌倦了在印度的生活 expressed herself bored, not only at living in India,
也厌倦了我们的婚姻 but at living with me.
她要和我离婚 And asked me to provide her with a divorce.
这有失我廓尔喀第十二军团司令官的体统 因此我拒绝了 In view of my position, commanding officer, 12th Gurkhas, I refused.
廓尔喀: 今尼泊尔中部地区
我要是离婚 就会丢了指挥权 Well, had I not, I should have lost my command.
我妻子回国后 有无可辩驳的证据 My wife returned to England, where there is irrefutable evidence
证明她频繁地 that she has been persistently
与其他男子有染 unfaithful to me.
这样一来 办理离婚手续时 I have therefore instituted divorce proceedings
她就成了失格的一方 in which she is cited as the guilty party.
等"这些手续"都已过去 And when those proceedings are behind us,
等"这些手续"都结束 when those proceedings are all over...
我就会向德本汉小姐求婚 ...I propose to marry Miss Debenham.
同时 Meanwhile,
至关重要的是在英国法律上 我们的 it is of vital importance, under English law, that our...
举动 ...behavior...
不会给我的妻子留下 ...should not provide evidence for counterproceedings
任何把柄 by my wife.
您看是不是回答了您的问题? Does that answer your question?
嗯 Well...
当然是种回答 ...it is certainly an answer.
医生 皮埃尔恢复得怎样? Doctor, is Pierre sufficiently recovered?
完全好了 我们能走了吗? Fully. May we go?
可以了 请放心我们外国人也是守口如瓶的 You may, with my assurance that our foreigners' lips shall be sealed.
要是伤着了那个乘务员 我很抱歉 Sorry if I hurt the lad.
盛怒之下 Provocation.
他俩合伙干的 她如同冰山下的火种 况且又身强力壮 They could have done it together. She has hidden fires. She is very strong.
为什么你不问她去过美国没有? Why did you not ask her if she had been to America?
没有必要问 Because I did not need to.

您猜是 是谁杀了他呢? Who do you? Who do you think killed him?
另一个黑手党[意大利语] 他说"另一个黑手党" Un altro Mafioso. He says another Mafia.
他们总是用刀或枪自相残杀 They are always killing each other with a knife or with a gun...
为什么您把这把匕首带来了? Why did you bring this dagger from the place?
因为它在我的化妆包里 Because I found it in my makeup bag.
瞧[意大利语] 我说什么来着 Ecco, what did I say?
不是刀就是枪 两个黑手党的火并 Knives or guns. It's a vendetta between two Mafiosi.
把匕首给我 Give me the dagger.
您上次打开化妆包是什么时候? When did you last open your makeup bag?
昨天晚上 我把所有东西都拿出来了 Yesterday evening, when I took everything out.
既然您把东西都拿出来了 又打开它做什么呢? If you took everything out, why did you need to reopen it?
因为我想放回去一些 Because I was putting something back in.
您现在可以放心了 赫伯德太太 You may set your mind at rest, Mrs. Hubbard.
那粒纽扣 正是 The missing button. Precisely,
我可以保证 这套衣服的主人现已不在车上 and I can assure you the owner of the tunic is not now on the train.
您回餐车吗? Are you going back to the dining car?
是的 您认为在发生这种事之后 I'll say I am. Do you think I could face my compartment

我的话对破案[意大利语]起了作用 I... I help with the risoluzione.

对不起 先生 请讲 Excuse me, sir. Yes.
完了么[法语] 医生? Enfin, doctor?
是人血 This blood is human.
这柄匕首可能曾被握在两只不同的手里 This dagger could, in two different hands,
刺出了那些伤口 have inflicted all of the wounds.
你已经知道谁是凶手了吧? And you know who inflicted them?
得在最后这个侦讯中赌一把 Our last interrogation will be something of a gamble.
要是赢了 But if it succeeds...
就真相大白了 ...we'll know.

您是塞洛斯·B·哈德曼 剧院经理? You are Cyrus B. Hardman, a theatrical agent.

那个侦探事务所? 伊斯坦布尔分所 The detective agency? Stamboul branch.
雷切特找他们雇美国保镖 他们就派我来了 Ratchett asked them for an American bodyguard, they sent me.

是波蕾特 波蕾特 It's Paulette. Paulette.
波蕾特·米歇尔 Paulette Michel.
我不能再装下去了 Now I can stop pretending to be anything.
女士们 先生们 请听我说两句 Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please.
我恳请诸位在波洛先生[法语] May I respectfully suggest that there should be no talking
讲话的时候能保持安静 如果有谁想发表意见 while Monsieur Poirot addresses you. If anyone wishes to make a statement,
可以会后再说 he or she can do so at the meeting's end.
谢谢 Thank you.
各位都知道 一个恶贯满盈的杀人犯 Ladies and gentlemen, you are all aware that a repulsive murderer
被残忍地谋杀了 也许是他罪有应得 has himself been repulsively and perhaps deservedly murdered.
怎么被杀的? 又是为什么? How and why?
我有个简单的答案 Here is the simple answer.
有证据表明 There is evidence supporting the theory
这个凶手整节车厢里没一个人认识 that the murderer was a stranger to us all.
凌晨1点15分刚过 赫伯德太太感觉到 Mrs. Hubbard was conscious of a man in her compartment
她包厢里有个男人 soon after 1:15 a.m.
她后来在床边发现了 一粒卧铺车厢乘务员制服上的纽扣 She later found near her bedside the button of a wagonlit conductor.
施米特小姐[德语]在她箱子里 Fraulein Schmidt discovered, planted in her suitcase,
发现了一套乘务员制服 the uniform of a conductor,
而这套制服并非皮埃尔的尺码 which could not possibly have fitted Pierre,
并且这套制服上衣恰巧掉了一粒纽扣 and from which, in fact, there was a button missing.
在那条制服裤子里 And in the trouser pocket of the uniform
有一把乘务员用的万能钥匙 was a conductor's passkey.
再后来 赫伯德太太发现了这柄沾满血迹的匕首 Later still, Mrs. Hubbard discovered this bloodstained dagger,
康斯坦丁医生已经确认 which Dr. Constantine confirms
它应该就是凶器 could have been the murderer's weapon.
这显然意味着 The obvious implication is that the murderer,
凶手假扮乘务员 在贝尔格莱德上车 disguised as a conductor, boarded the train at Belgrade,
用万能钥匙打开了 made his way by means of the convenient passkey
雷切特的包厢 捅死了他 to Ratchett's compartment, stabbed him to death,
藏好匕首和制服 planted the dagger and the uniform,
趁着大雪阻路 溜之大吉 and then departed, since the train was now halted in a snowdrift.
这个人是谁? Who was he?
我倒倾向于福斯卡雷里先生的看法 I am inclined to agree with Mr. Foscarelli,
他觉得是与雷切特敌对的黑手党干的 who believes that he was a rival member of the Mafia,
为了夙仇而结果了他 exacting private vengeance for a vendetta
这个人 南斯拉夫警方无疑会查清他的身份 whose precise nature the Yugoslav police will undoubtedly identify.
但是 But...
这就是全部吗? 不不不 ...is that all? No. No, no, no, no.
不 这不是全部 No, it is not.
我说了 这是一个简单的答案 I said, here is the simple answer.
后面还有一个更为 There is also a more...
复杂的答案 ...complex one.
但诸位聆听完后者的时候 But remember my first solution when I...
务请记住前者 When you've heard my second.
现在 让我们想想这种更为合理的情况 Let us, for the moment, assume what is perfectly plausible,
根本就没有神秘的陌生人 that the mysterious stranger did not exist.
那么 凶手肯定就是加来车厢上的某个人或某几个人 The murder must then have been committed by some person or persons
因而现在就坐在这节餐车里 in the Calais coach and therefore are present in this dining car.
让我们暂时先别问"怎么杀的" Let us not, for the moment, ask the question "how"
而问问"为什么要杀" 搞清楚这一点 怎么杀的便自见分晓 but the question "why", which will tell us how.
在座的每个人都听说过那起 I was not surprised that every single one of you
臭名昭著的阿姆斯特朗案件 这我并不奇怪 should have heard of the notorious Armstrong case.
但我承认 侦问第一位旅客 But I confess to a mild surprise when the first passenger I interrogated,
麦奎恩先生时 Mr. McQueen...
他由于精神紧张 承认了他认识阿姆斯特朗夫人 ...admitted, under emotional stress,
尽管不熟 这着实令我有点惊讶 that he had actually known Mrs. Armstrong, albeit very slightly.
她很温柔 也很恐惧 She was gentle and frightened.
尽管如此 她仍旧对一个喜欢舞台表演的 But not too frightened to take an interest in a young man
男孩子表现出了关心 who wanted to go on the stage.
麦奎恩先生说不知道雷切特是卡塞蒂的时候 Was Mr. McQueen lying when he denied ever having
是在撒谎吗? known that Ratchett was Cassetti?
或者他当秘书只是周密计划的一部分 Or did he become Ratchett's secretary
目的是为阿姆斯特朗夫人复仇? as part of a deliberate plan to avenge Mrs. Armstrong's death?
只有在问了其他旅客之后 Only by interrogating the other passengers
我才有希望看到一丝光明 could I hope to see the light.
但是 当侦讯逐渐深入 But when I began to question them,
那光明 如麦克白所说 消隐了 the light, as Macbeth would have said, thickened.
当我告诉公主殿下我知道 When I told the Princess Dragomiroff that I knew she was
她是阿姆斯特朗夫人的教母时 Mrs. Armstrong's godmother,
她随后的回答便刻意回避 her answers to my subsequent questions smelled strongly
变得谬误失实 of inaccuracy and evasion.
我这个外人从报纸上读到的 Even I knew more from reading the newspaper reports
甚至比她这位常客能提供的还多 than she from her frequent visits.
是不是有个司机? Was there not a chauffeur?
有的 先生[法语] 但我自己有司机 没坐过他的车 There was, monsieur, but I had my own. I never used him.
刻意回避 阿姆斯特朗夫人的贴身女仆叫什么名字? Evasion. What was the name of Mrs. Armstrong's personal maid?
无论走到哪 我都带着自己的贴身女仆 先生[法语] I always travel with my own maid, monsieur.
没必要与别人的女仆讲话 There was no need to speak with Mrs. Armstrong's.
又是刻意回避 我接着问那个男仆的情况 Evasion. I asked for particulars of the manservant.
他曾是 我想 上校的印度… 怎么称呼来着… 勤务兵 He was, I think, the colonel's Indian, how you would say, orderly.
谬误失实 Inaccuracy.
身为在印度服役的皇家卫队军官 Colonel Armstrong was an officer of the British army in India.
阿姆斯特朗上校应该有个英国勤务兵 像贝多斯这样的 He would have had a British batman, like Private Beddoes,
来服侍他 to serve his personal needs.
只有阿布斯诺上校这种 Only officers of the Indian army,
印度驻军军官才会有印度勤务兵 like Colonel Arbuthnott, have Indian orderlies.
我问阿姆斯特朗夫人的妹妹叫什么 I asked her the name of Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister.
我想不起她叫什么了 I do not recall her name.
难以置信的回避 Unbelievable evasion.
我继续问她阿姆斯特朗夫人秘书的名字 I asked her the name of Mrs. Armstrong's secretary.
是的 别人叫她弗里博迪小姐 Yes, a Miss Freebody.
不 这简直不可能[法语] Non, c'est impossible ca.
公主殿下似乎在玩文字关联的 The princess, it seems, is playing the psychological game
心理游戏 of word association.
弗里博迪是伦敦一家最有名 最繁华的 Freebody is the name of the junior partner
女士用品商店的次要合伙人 of one of London's most famous and most opulent ladies' stores
公主殿下也许经常光顾那里 of the sort perhaps patronized by the princess herself.
而那个主要合伙人名叫德本汉 The name of the senior partner is Debenham.
德本汉暨弗里博迪商店 Debenham and Freebody.
公主殿下是在给这位 Was the princess covering up for our Miss Debenham,
在巴格达教速记的德本汉小姐掩饰吗? who taught shorthand in Baghdad?
她能告诉我们阿姆斯特朗夫人的妹妹叫什么吗? Can she tell us the name of Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister?
那就让我来告诉你们她的教名和婚前的姓吧 Then I will tell you her Christian and her maiden name.
当我问公主殿下 When I asked the Princess Dragomiroff if she could tell me
能否告诉我她教女婚前的姓时 the maiden name of her goddaughter, Mrs. Armstrong,
作为教母 她不可能 she could not possibly, as a godmother,
对这点佯装不知 她说 plead ignorance of this. She replied...
格林伍德 Greenwood.
格林伍德在德语中正是格伦瓦尔特 Grunwald is the German for Greenwood.
德语Grunwald和英语Greenwood的意思均为"绿树"
公主殿下的犹豫更令我确信 The princess's hesitation persuades me
格伦瓦尔特确实是其教女 that Grunwald was the true maiden name
阿姆斯特朗夫人婚前的姓 of her goddaughter, Mrs. Armstrong.
那这位安德烈伯爵夫人 And that the Countess Andrenyi
想必就是阿姆斯特朗夫人在世的妹妹咯? is Mrs. Armstrong's surviving younger sister.
她的教名是海琳娜 Her Christian name is Helena.
不是艾琳娜 不不不 Not Elena. No, no, no.
而是海琳娜 But Helena.
那她教名的首字母H到哪儿去了呢? And where did she lose her Christian name's initial H?
是在她丈夫的护照上 以一块黄油渍巧妙地遮盖了 She lost it under a convenient grease spot in her husband's passport.
黄油渍又为何会出现在护照上呢? And why was the grease spot purposely applied?
因为伯爵夫妇害怕 Because she and her husband were afraid
这条绣着首字母H的手绢 that this handkerchief, bearing the initial H...
会让我怀疑她是同谋 ...might lead me to suspect her of complicity in the murder.
我在上帝面前以绅士的名义起誓 I swear before God and on my word of honor as a gentleman,
那手绢不是我太太的 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.
既不是哈丽特·贝琳达·赫伯德太太的 No. Nor does it belong to Mrs. Harriet Belinda Hubbard.
也不是希尔德加德·施米特小姐[德语]的 Nor to Fraulein Hildegarde Schmidt,
她忠实的优秀品质的确为人称道 whose finest quality is her loyalty.
首字母也对不上 The initial is wrong.
公主殿下的名字是什么? What is the princess's first name?
娜塔丽亚 先生[德语] 那是个俄国名字 Natalia, mein Herr. It is a Russian name.
在俄语 或者说西里尔字母表中 In the Russian, or Cyrillic, alphabet,
西里尔字母: 一种字母体系 为信奉东正教的操斯拉夫语的诸民族所用
大写的N their capital N
就像我们的大写的H is written like our capital H.
公主殿下[法语] Madame la Princess,
这条昂贵的手绢是否应该停止展览 should this costly handkerchief cease to remain an exhibit,
让您忠实的女仆去洗一洗呢? it will be returned to your loyal maid for laundering.
还是说希尔德加德·施米特并不是您的女仆? Or is Hildegarde Schmidt really your maid?
我对美味佳肴所散发的香味很敏感 于是设了个圈套 I have, perhaps, a nose for the aura of fine food and laid a trap.
您的厨艺很精湛吧? You are a good cook, are you not?
我服侍过的夫人们都这么说 我 All my ladies have said so. I...
如果您是个贴身女仆 If you are a lady's maid,
您的女主人们永远不会了解您的厨艺 your ladies never have a chance of discovering if you are a good cook.
一位和阿姆斯特朗家的厨子 As good a cook as Hildegarde Schmidt must have been
一样好的厨子 to the Armstrong household.
就是这样[法语] Enfin.
来数数这车厢里有谁 Who do we now have here in this car...
认识阿姆斯特朗家 ...that could have known or could have been involved
或者与他们家有关联 with the Armstrong household?
第一个 麦奎恩先生 We have, one, Mr. McQueen,
他在绑架发生时恋母般地 who became boyishly devoted to Mrs. Armstrong
爱上了阿姆斯特朗夫人 at the time of the kidnapping.
第二个 德拉戈米罗夫公主 Two, the Princess Dragomiroff,
深爱着阿姆斯特朗夫人的教母 who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted godmother.
第三个 安德烈伯爵夫人 Three, the Countess Andrenyi,
深爱着阿姆斯特朗夫人的妹妹 who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted younger sister.
第四个 安德烈伯爵 Four, the Count Andrenyi,
深爱着海琳娜的丈夫 who is Helena's devoted husband
也是阿姆斯特朗夫人的妹夫 and Mrs. Armstrong's devoted brotherinlaw.
第五个 希尔德加德·施米特 阿姆斯特朗夫人忠实的厨娘 Five, Hildegarde Schmidt, who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted cook.
第六个 玛丽·德本汉 阿姆斯特朗夫人忠实的秘书 Six, Mary Debenham, who was Mrs. Armstrong's devoted secretary.
德本汉小姐这条结论纯属猜测 Miss Debenham's inclusion is pure conjecture.
我毋需问她 I did not have to ask Miss Debenham
是否在美国住过 if she had ever lived in America,
因为在侦讯中 她说 because during her interrogation, she said...
我可以打长途电话给我的律师 I can always call my lawyers longdistance.
没在美国呆过的英国女人会说 An Englishwoman who had never lived in America would have said,
"我可以给我的法律顾问打长距离电话" "I can always make a trunk call to my solicitors."
"长途电话"英式英语(渐旧)是truck call 美式英语是longdistance call solicitor在英式英语里意为事务律师
同样[法语] 我还得感谢抽烟斗的阿布斯诺上校 Tout de meme, I must thank the pipesmoking Colonel Arbuthnott,
在这个不同寻常的案件中 他说了句 for a remark which finally resolved all my confusions about this...
让我茅塞顿开的话 This extraordinary case.
暂且不谈他曾否认 I prefer to set aside the fact
与阿姆斯特朗上校在印度打过交道的事实 that he denied ever having spoken to Colonel Armstrong in India.
但他至今仍清楚地记得 And yet he remembered in great detail
阿姆斯特朗上校多年前在法国 the decorations which Colonel Armstrong had won
所得的各种勋章 years earlier in France.
我更记得他对于英国陪审团制度的看法 I prefer to remember his views on the British jury system.
由十二个好人组成的陪审团确实是健全的制度 Trial by 12 good men and true is a sound system.
"夜钟已经敲过了 The iron tongue of midnight
引自莎士比亚喜剧《仲夏夜之梦》第五幕第一场忒修斯的台词 朱生豪译本
十二点" hath told 12.
陡然间 Suddenly...
数字"十二"如午夜钟声般开始在我的脑海里回响 ...the number 12 began to ring in my head like a great bell.
十二 Twelve.
医生 雷切特的尸体上有几处刀伤? Doctor, how many wounds were there in Ratchett's body?
十二处 麦奎恩先生 Twelve. Mr. McQueen,
您给我看的给雷切特的 how many capital letters, each inscribed by a different hand,
那两封恐吓信上各有几个 were contained in each of the two threatening messages
由不同的人写就的字母? you showed me on Ratchett's correspondence file?
十二 十二个 Twelve. Twelve.
阿布斯诺上校 陪审团有多少成员? Colonel Arbuthnott, how many persons in a jury?
十二个 Twelve.
皮埃尔·保罗·米歇尔 Pierre Paul Michel,
除去我和死者 how many passengers in the Calais coach,
开往加来的车厢上共有多少名旅客? excluding myself and the murdered man?
十二个 先生[法语] Twelve, monsieur.
把你的钱包给我看看 不行 Show me your wallet. No!
哈德曼先生 您别插嘴 Mr. Hardman, you may not speak.
雷切特从没请您当他的保镖 他请的是我 Ratchett never asked you to be his bodyguard, he asked me.
我不信任他 所以拒绝了 And I, perhaps to my discredit, refused.
在您加入平克顿事务所当私家侦探前 Before you joined Pinkerton's as a private detective,
只是个普通的警察 对吧? you were an ordinary policeman, were you not?
一个当差的 A cop...
自然而然地爱上了 ...who, as is customary with cops,
他所在辖区的 fell in love with
漂亮的女仆 a pretty housemaid on his beat.
是的 有可能已经与她结婚了 Yes, and would have married her...
倘若 ...if...
令嫒波蕾特 并非死于猩红热 对吧? Your daughter, Paulette, never died of scarlet fever, did she?
是的 她自杀了 No, she killed herself
因为她受不了被诬为 when falsely accused of complicity

绑架谋杀案同谋的痛苦 of little Daisy Armstrong.
他们 They...
他们少了你就干不成了 是吧? They could not have done it without you, could they?
你 You.
你提供了这套伪装 以便凭空编出个神秘的黑手党 The procurer of this disguise for the mysterious member of the Mafia,
其实根本没这个人 who never existed
还有穿着日式晨衣的女人也是一样 any more than the owner of this kimono existed
弄出各不相干的角色来混淆视听 as a real character and not as a red herring to confuse and deceive me.
而我则自以为并没上当 Although I think that I was not deceived.
我也 怎么说呢 I have, how shall I put it,
瞥见了那个 an eye for the...
越走越远的背影 For the figure of a receding woman.
伯爵夫人 您那世界性的英语口音 Countess, your cosmopolitan accent
大概是继承了您当演员的 showed an inherited ability...
母亲的表演天赋吧 ...from your actress mother.
但是天知道葛利泰·奥尔森小姐 But God knows from what implausible source
那荒唐可笑的英语词汇 Miss Greta Ohlsson...
是从什么难以置信的渠道学来的 ...learned her English vocabulary, too ludicrous to be credited.
我生来愚钝 I was born backwards.
所以我去非洲从事传教活动 That is why I work in Africa as missionary,
去教那些脑筋比我更慢的棕色孩子 teaching little brown babies more backwards than myself.
您杜撰了"床袍"这样的词语 You coined words like "bed gown",
却听得懂"酬答"这类词汇 and yet you understand words like "emolument".
我相信您确实在希莫加照顾过棕色孩子 I truly believe you did look after little brown babies at your mission
但希莫加在印度 顺便提一句 in Shimoga, which is in India, by the way, you know.
不是非洲 It's not Africa.
但我也相信您试图掩盖 But I believe you were covering up
多年前曾在美国照顾过 for once, years earlier, when you were in America,
一个叫戴西的白人小孩的事实 having looked after a little white baby called Daisy...
她死了 您却无能为力 ...whose death, though you could do nothing to prevent it,
所以将如刀割般的心献给了耶稣基督 so preyed on your mind that you sought refuge in a vision of Jesus.
于是您决定后来去 And your future as a missionary,
照顾那些棕色孩子 looking after little brown babies, was sealed.
您 您真是幸运啊 You. You were lucky
只被堵住嘴捆了起来 only to be bound and gagged,
不像那个男仆 一下子被打中颈后 not crushed like the manservant.
贝多斯先生 先生 Mr. Beddoes. Sir.
您曾在苏格兰的英军服役 You served with the British army in Scotland.
而阿姆斯特朗上校曾是在皇家步兵第一团 Colonel Armstrong was in the Royal Scots.
能请您向康斯坦丁医生以管家的方式深鞠一躬吗? Would you kindly give Dr. Constantine your deepest butler's bow?
是的 有一处旧的挫伤 Yes, there is an old contusion.
是因为我以前打过一架 先生 The result of a slight fracas in the mess, sir,
为了布丁质量的事 和一个有案底的家伙 with regard to the quality of a pudding known as spotted dick.
谢谢 但我想您也同样被"留了案底" Thank you, but I think you've been spotted too.
福斯卡雷里先生很懂汽车 Mr. Foscarelli is very knowledgeable about automobiles.
我怀疑他做过阿姆斯特朗家的司机 I suspected that perhaps he had once been Armstrong's chauffeur.
我问起他是否做过哪家的仆人 I asked if he had ever been in private service.
没有 No.
尽管福斯卡雷里先生糟糕的英语显得 I think Mr. Foscarelli's appalling English is more genuine
比奥尔森小姐真实一些 但我仍觉得他撒了谎 than Miss Ohlsson's, but I think he meant yes.
觉得 先生[法语]? 觉得 觉得 只是觉得 Think, monsieur? Think, think. Yes, think!
这列因大雪阻路而与世隔绝的火车上还能发生些什么呢? What else can be done on a train isolated by a snowdrift?
如果这些人都没犯罪 If all these people are not implicated in the crime,
那他们在侦讯中 为何接二连三地 then why have they all told me, under interrogation,
向我撒这些愚蠢又没必要的谎呢? stupid and often unnecessary lies?
为什么? 为什么? 到底为什么? Why? Why? Why? Why?
无疑 波洛先生[法语] 他们没料到您会乘这列车 Doubtless, Monsieur Poirot, because they did not expect you
他们没办法凑到一块儿 把故事编圆 to be on the train. They had no time to concert their cover story.

比这次复仇的组织者赫伯德太太更难的角色 as Mrs. Hubbard, the organizer of this extraordinary revenge.
我大胆推测伟大的琳达·亚顿已经 Dare I deduce that the great Linda Arden has been cured
治愈绝症 不再卧病不起 of her incurable disease and is no longer bedridden?
我才应到精神病院看看病 It is I who should be committed to a bed in a mental home.
需要治疗的是我 It is I who need a cure for being so slow
蠢得没能注意到自己被人耍了 to notice the tricks that were being played on me
完全搞错了谋杀的时间 with regard to the time of the murder.
您还有别的吩咐吗 先生? 当然有 Will there be anything more, sir? There will.
告诉麦奎恩先生我要见他 马上 Tell Mr. McQueen I wanna see him, now.
好的 先生 Very good, sir.

没事了[法语] Ce n'est rien.
只是个噩梦[法语] C'etait un cauchemar.
好的[法语] 雷切特先生 Bien, Mr. Ratchett.
祝您做个好梦 May you now have pleasant dreams.
凌晨1点15分 赫伯德太太声称 At 1:15 came Mrs. Hubbard's announcement
有个男人在她包厢 that there was a man in her room,
出于不可思议的原因 此人掉了粒扣子 who had, for reasons which I dare not even guess, shed a button.
第二天早上 尸体被发现了 The next morning, the murder was discovered.
康斯坦丁医生圈定了死亡时间 Dr. Constantine sets the time of the murder
为午夜至凌晨2点之间 anywhere between midnight and 2 a.m.
我想到了多种可能 Now, I came to various conclusions.
手表停在1点15分只是个 The clumsy cliche of the smashed watch
拙劣的手法 registering 1:15
是凶手故意弄出来让我怀疑的 had been done deliberately to excite my disbelief.
而且麦奎恩先生特地强调说 And since Mr. McQueen had overemphatically said
雷切特不会外语 that Ratchett spoke no languages,
于是我就被巧妙地引向以下结论 I was being deliberately maneuvered into believing
即有人在雷切特的包厢 that Ratchett was already dead
用法语说话时 他已经死了 when a voice cried out from his room in French.
换句话说 In other words,
我作出了谋杀发生在 I was being forced into the theory
1点15分之前的错误判断 that the murder was committed before 1:15.
而这期间 各位都有完美的不在场证明 A period for which every single one of you had an unshakable alibi.
但是 But...
假如谋杀并非发生在之前 ...supposing that the crime had not been committed earlier,
而是在1点15分之后呢? but later than 1:15...
当迷惑我的吵闹声和小事情 ...when all the noises and incidents
都已悄然息止之后 designed to confuse me had died down.
当我已陷入沉沉的睡梦当中 And I had lapsed into sleep
当整列火车安静 because the train was now silent...
而平和 ...and at peace.
确实安静 Silent, yes.
但不平和 At peace, no.
凌晨2点 谋杀正式开始 By 2:00, the murder was afoot.
想像一下 Envisage it.

我重申 I repeat...
一个恶贯满盈的杀人犯 ...a repulsive murderer
被残忍地 has himself
谋杀了 也许是他 been repulsively and, perhaps,
罪有应得 deservedly murdered.
但在我提出的两种答案中 But in which of the two ways that I have suggested?
是选择简单的 In the simpler way, by the Mafioso
被装成乘务员的黑手党干掉了? disguised as a wagonlit conductor?
还是选择我刚才叙述的更复杂的答案呢? Or in the more complex way that I have just outlined...
当然 后者涉及问题之广 ...which involves many questions and, of course...
牵连人数之多 是 ...considerable scandal?
比安奇先生[意大利语] 还是你以这条线路董事的身份决定吧 Signor Bianchi, it is for you, as a director of the line,
看看我们在布罗德 该怎么和警方交待? to choose the solution that we shall offer to the police at Brod.
我承认 Though I confess...
自己有些摇摆不定 ...I am in two minds.
但我想 Though I...
布罗德的警方会更喜欢 I think the police at Brod would prefer
第一种简单明了的答案 the simplicity of the first solution.
我们有那套制服 We have the uniform...
可以拿给警方看 ...to show the police.
既然有制服 If we have the uniform,
就肯定有过穿制服的人 there must have been a man in it.
因此 So therefore,
我选择第一种答案 I elect the first solution.
听听 听听 Here, here.
