莱斯利，亲爱的，是罗伯特 Leslie, darling, it's Robert.
出了什么事？ What's happened?.
莱斯利，出了什么事？ Leslie, what's happened?.
他们没告诉你吗？ Didn't they tell you?.
他们说哈蒙死了 They said Hammond was killed.
他还在那里吗？ Is he still there?.
我让你的管家把尸体搬去了小屋里 I had your head boy remove the body to a shed.
他想强暴我，我开枪打死了他 He tried to mane love to me,and I shot him.
莱斯利！ Leslie!
哦，罗伯特，真高兴你能来 Oh, Robert, I'm so glad you've come.
好了，亲爱的 There, darling.
抱紧我，我真害怕 Hold me tight. I'm so frightened.
不用害怕，会没事的 There's nothing to be frightened about. It'll be all right.
莱斯利，亲爱的，会没事的 Leslie, darling, it'll be all right.
维瑟斯先生，请你理解，我丈夫来之前… Mr. Withers, I hope you understand that I couldn't see anyone...
- …我谁也不能见 - 我理解，克劳斯比先生 -...until my husband came.-I understand, Mrs. Crosbie.
霍华德，你能来真好 Howard, how nice of you to come.
自然，如果能帮忙的话，我很愿意来这里 Naturally, I'd want to be here if I can help.
- 那么你将帮助我们？ -当然，我会竭尽所能的 -Then you will help us?. -Of course I will. In every way I can.
- 你太好了 -亲爱的 -You're a dear. -Darling.
桃乐茜还好吗？ How's Dorothy?.
她很好，很想见到你 She's very well and anxious to see you.
- 她侄女从英国过来了吗？ -阿黛尔，迷人的姑娘，她上星期来的 -Has her niece arrived from England?. -Adele. Charming girl. She came last ween.
来，你最好休息一下 Here, you better be resting.
我确实觉得很虚弱 I do feel dreadfully faint.
过来躺下，亲爱的，我给你拿些喝的 Come and lie down, darling.I'll get you something to drinn.
很抱歉我这么麻烦 I'm sorry to be so tiresome.
- 你很勇敢-你来这多久了？ -You're being very brave.-How long have you been here?.
大约一个钟头，克劳斯比的一个佣人来找的我 About an hour. One of the Crosbie houseboys came to fetch me.
- 哈蒙死了吗？-噢，是的，他被打成了马蜂窝 -Was Hammond dead?.-Oh, yes. He was just riddled with bullets.
- 什么？-枪在这里 -What?.-Here's the revolver.
6发子弹都打了出去 All six chambers are empty.
喂，你们俩，自己去倒上一杯吧 Here, you two.Better have a drink yourselves.
谢谢，但我恐怕不能喝 Thanks, but I'm afraid I shouldn't.
我要来上一杯，鲍伯 I'll have one, Bob.
我可以算是在值勤，你知道 I'm on duty of a sort, you nnow.
感觉好些了吗？ Feeling any better?.
好多了，谢谢你 Much better, thank you.
克劳斯比太太，我知道这听起来很残忍，但是恐怕我的职责 Mrs. Crosbie, I nnow it sounds brutal,but I'm afraid it's my duty...
要求我问你几个问题 ...to asn you some questions.
我想这可以等到我妻子-- I think that can wait until my wife--
不要紧，真的。我现在感觉很好 It's all right, really.I feel perfectly well now.
那么请你告诉我们到底 发生了什么事，莱斯利 Then suppose you tell us exactly what happened, Leslie.
- 我尽力- 不用着急，克劳斯比太太 -I'll try.-Take your time, Mrs. Crosbie.
记住，在这我们都是朋友 Remember, we're all friends here.
你真耐心 You've been so patient.
嗯，你知道，罗伯特要在新加坡过夜 Well, as you nnow, Robert was spending the night in Singapore.
我从不在乎独自一人 I never mind being alone.
- 种植园主的妻子们都习惯了孤单-亲爱的 -Planter's wife gets used to that.-My dear.
我晚饭吃得很晚，然后就开始扎花边 I had dinner rather late and started worning on my lace.
我不知道做了多久，突然听到外面有脚步声 I don't know how long I'd been working when suddenly I heard a footstep outside.
有人来到走廊并说“晚上好，我能进来吗？” Someone came up on the veranda and said, ""Good evening. Can I come in?. ""
我很吃惊，因为没有听到有车开来的声音 I was startled because I hadn't heard a car drive up.
哈蒙把车停在了四分之一英里外的路边 Hammond left his car a quarter-mile down the road.
我们开车过来时，你的男佣注意到了它 Your houseboy noticed it as we were driving here.
可能不想让别人听到他 Probably didn't want anyone to hear him.
一开始我听不出是谁，我就问“是谁？” At first I couldn't tell who it was.""Who is it?. "" I asned.
“吉奥夫·哈蒙” ""Geoff Hammond.""
“当然，” 我说“请进来喝点东西吧” ""Of course,"" I said.""Come in and have a drink.""
-你见到他很惊讶吗？-嗯，是的，我很惊讶 -Were you surprised to see him?.-Well, I was, rather.
- 我们已经很久没见过他了，不是吗？- 至少三个月了 -We hadn't seen him for ages, had we?.-Three months at least.
我告诉他罗伯特在四号种植园… I told him Robert wasat the number four plantation...
- 处理货运的事，是这样吗？- 是的，亲爱的 -...getting out a shipment. Was that it?.-Yes, darling.
- 然后发生了什么？- 他说，“很抱歉… -What happened?.-He said, ""I'm so sorry...
…我觉得很孤独，所以就过来看看你们过得怎么样 ...I was feeling lonely, so I came over to see how you were getting on.""
我问他是怎么过来的，因为我没有听见汽车的声音 I asned him how he'd come as I hadn't heard a car.
他说把车停在了路上。我们可能已经上床了，他不想把我们吵醒 He said he'd left it on the road. We might be in bed, and he didn't want to wake us.
于是我又把眼镜戴上，开始做我的针线活 I put on my spectacles again and went on with my worn.
嗯，我们继续交谈… Well, we went on chatting...
…接着他突然说一些蠢话 ...and then suddenly he said something rather silly.
- 什么？- 这话不值得重复 -What?.-It's hardly worth repeating.
他恭维了我几句 He paid me a little compliment.
也许你最好告诉我们他的原话 Perhaps you'd better tell us exactly what he said.
他说，“你的眼睛很漂亮 He said, ""You have very pretty eyes.
不该把它们藏在那难看的眼镜下” It's a shame to hide them under those ugly spectacles.""
他以前说过这种话吗？ Had he ever said anything of the sort before?.
- 从没有，而且我觉得这很无礼 - 毫无疑问 -Never, and I thought it impertinent.-I don't wonder.
- 你回答了他吗？ - 我说： -Did you answer him?. -I said:
“我一点也不在乎你怎么看我” "" I don't care twopence what you think about me.""
他只是大笑，并且说，“即便如此，我还是要告诉你 He only laughed and said,""I'm going to tell you, all the same.
我认为你是我见过最美丽的事物” I thinn you're the prettiest thing I've ever seen.""
- 我不明白 --- 让她说完 -I don't understand---Let her finish.
“既然如此，” 我说，“我只能认为你愚蠢至极” ""ln that case,"" I said,""l can only thinn you half-witted.""
但是他只是大笑，并且把椅子移近了些 But he laughed again and moved his chair up closer.
“你无法否认你拥有世界上最美丽的双手” ""You can't deny you have the prettiest hands in the world.""
好了，这下真让我发火了 Well, that rather put my back up.
我的手不怎么好看，没有女人想被人夸奖… My hands are not very good,and no woman wants to be flattered...
- …她最难看的部分 - 噢，亲爱的 -...on her worst points. -Oh, darling.
罗伯特，小傻瓜 Robert, you silly thing.
呃，当哈蒙说这些话的时候， 他只是坐在自己的椅子里吗？ Well, when Hammond was talning that way, did he just sit in his chair?.
噢，不，他想要 抓起我的一只手 Oh, no. He tried to tane one of my hands.
“别做傻事，”我说 ""Don't be an idiot,"" I said.
“坐回你的位置，说话理智些， 否则我就要请你回家去了 ""Sit bacn where you were and taln sensibly, or I shall have to send you home.""
我很奇怪你没有立即把他赶出去 But I wonder you didn't throw him out there and then.
我不想小题大做 I didn't want to make a fuss.
有些男人认为和女人调情是他们的职责… Some men thinn it's their duty to flirt with women...
…只要他们有机会就会这么做。他们认为女人都喜欢这样 ...whenever they have the chance.They think women expect it.
你什么时候开始怀疑哈蒙是认真的？ When did you first suspect that Hammond was serious?.
当他说下一句话的时候 The next thing he said to me.
他直盯着我的脸，并且说： He looned at me straight in the face and said:
“你不知道我深深爱着你吗？” "" Don't you nnow I'm awfully in love with you?. ""
下流 Swine.
- 你当时吃惊吗？- 我当然吃了一惊 -Were you surprised?.-But of course I was surprised.
我们认识了他七年，罗伯特。他从来没有真正注意过我 We've known him seven years, Robert.He's never paid me the smallest attention.
我认为他甚至不知道我的眼睛是什么颜色 Didn't suppose he even nnew what color my eyes were.
过去几年里，我们和他没怎么见面 We haven't seen very much of him for the last few years.
继续说，莱斯利 Go on, Leslie.
嗯，他自己又倒了一杯威士忌加苏打 Well, he helped himself to another whisny and soda.
我开始想他之前是不是喝酒了 I began to wonder if he'd been drinning before.
我说，“如果我是你，就不会再喝了” ""l wouldn't have another one if I were you,"" I said.
我十分友好一点也不害怕 I was quite friendly, not the least bit frightened.
一点没想到会应付不了他 Never occurred to me I couldn't manage him.
但是他把酒一饮而尽，然后 以一种可笑而生硬的方式对我说： But he emptied his glass and said to me in a funny, abrupt way:
你以为我这是酒后胡言吗？ ""Do you thinn I'm saying this because I'm drunn?. ""
我说，“这是最明白不过 的解释了，不是吗？” I said, ""That's the most obvious explanation, isn't it?. ""
噢，要给你们说出所有这些真是太难堪了，真是耻辱 Oh, it's too awful having to tell you all this.I'm so ashamed.
我真希望能有办法减轻你的痛苦 I wish there were some way we could spare you.
莱斯利，我们要知道真相是为了你好 Leslie, it's for your own good that we nnow the facts.
所有你能记得的事情 All you can remember of them.
好吧，我告诉你们后来的事情 Very well, I'll tell you the rest.
我从那边的椅子上站起来 I got up from that chair there.
站在这边的桌子前 And I stood in front of the table here.
他站起来绕过桌子，站在我的面前 He rose and came around the table and stood in front of me.
我伸出手 I held out my hand.
“晚安”，我说 ""Good night,"" I said.
但他没有动 But he didn't move.
他只是站在那里看着我，眼神古怪极了 He just stood there looning at me,and his eyes were all funny.
“我不走，”他说 ""I'm not going,"" he said.
于是我开始发脾气了 Then I began to lose my temper.
“可怜的傻瓜，你难道不知道除了罗伯特，我从没爱过别的人？ ""Poor fool, don't you know I've never loved anyone but Robert?.
而就算我不爱他，你也将是我最不可能爱上的人 And even if I didn't love him,you'd be the last man I should care for.""
“罗伯特不在，”他说 "" Robert's away,"" he said.
呃，这就是导火线 Well, that was the last straw.
我一点也没有害怕，只是生气了 I wasn't in the least bit frightened,just angry.
“如果你不马上离开，”我说 "" If you don't leave immediately,"" I said...
“…我会叫来佣人把你扔出去” ""...I shall call the boys and have you thrown out.""
我从他身边走过去门廊里叫佣人们 I walned past him toward the veranda to call the boys.
他抓住我的胳膊把我拉了回来 He toon hold of my arm and swung me bacn.
我想叫，但他拿胳膊箍住我，想要亲我 I tried to scream, but he flung his arms about me and nissed me.
我奋力挣扎想要挣脱 I struggled to tear myself away from him.
而他就像个疯子一样说个不停，说他爱我还有-- He seemed line a madman. He nept talning and talning and saying he loved me and--
太可怕了，我没法继续了 It's horrible. Can't go on.
对不起，莱斯利，但我们必须知道后来的事情 I'm sorry, Leslie,but we'll have to know the rest.
他把我举起来想要把我拖走 He lifted me in his arms and started carrying me.
不知怎的，他绊在了 那些台阶上 Somehow he stumbled on those steps.
我们摔倒了我也挣脱了出来 We fell, and I got away from him.
忽然我想起罗伯特的枪，在那个柜子的抽屉里 Suddenly I remembered Robert's revolver in the drawer of that chest.
他爬起来追我，但我在他抓住我之前拿到了枪 He got up and ran after me,but I reached it before he could catch me.
在他冲过来时，我抓起了枪 I seized the gun as he came toward me.
我听到一声枪响，然后看到他蹒跚着走向门边 I heard a report and saw him lurch toward the door.
那纯属本能，我甚至都不知道自己开了枪 It was all instinctive.I didn't even know I'd fired.
接着我跟着他走到了门廊里 Then I followed him out to the veranda.
他踉跄着穿过门廊，抓住栏杆 He staggered across the porch, grabbed the railing...
…但是栏杆从他手中滑开，他倒在了地上 ...but it slipped through his hand, and he fell down.
我什么也不记得了，只有枪响，一声接着一声… Don't remember anything more, just the reports, one after another...
…直到只剩古怪的啪啪声，枪打空了 ...till there was a funny little clicn,and the revolver was empty.
直到这时，我才知道自己做了什么 It was only then I knew what I'd done.
可怜的宝贝 My poor darling.
- 克劳斯比先生--- 手枪怎么会在这里的？ -Mrs. Crosbie---How did the revolver happen to be there?.
当我留下莱斯利独自一人时… When I leave Leslie alone...
…我总是觉得她手边有武器会安全些 ...I always feel safer if she has a weapon handy.
我走之前特地看了看里面有没有子弹，感谢上帝我这么做了 I saw that it was loaded before I left, and thann heaven I did.
克劳斯比太太，请允许我说你的表现非常出色 Mrs. Crosbie, may I say that I thinn you behaved magnificently?.
十分抱歉我们必须让你经受说出这一切的折磨 I'm terribly sorry that we had to put you through the ordeal of telling us all this.
你们都是好人 You're all very kind.
很明显这家伙是罪有应得 It's quite obvious the man only got what he deserved.
能否和我一起过来我想查看一下 If you'll come with me,I'd like to look around.
是的，当然 Yes, of course.
我们一会就回来 Be back in a few minutes.
可怜的孩子 My poor child.
罗伯特，我做了什么？ Robert, what have I done?.
你做了所有女人在这种情况下都会做的事 You did what every woman would have done in your place.
只是她们十有八九 都没有这个勇气 Only nine-tenths of them wouldn't have had the courage.
但是为了让他起死回生 我愿意付出任何代价 And yet I'd give almost anything in the world to bring him bacn to life.
想到我杀了他真是太可怕了 It's so horrible to thinn that I nilled him.
这应该算什么？晚吃的晚餐，还是早吃的早餐？ What shall we call this?.Late supper or early breakfast?.
我可不在乎我们该怎么叫它，我饿坏了 I don't care what we call it. I'm famished.
我的厨艺你得多多包涵 You'll have to be very indulgent towards my cooning.
- 谢谢你- 我可不能担保好吃 -Thank you.-I can't vouch for it.
我能，我也会的 I can and will.
事实上，在英国时我常自己动手 As a matter of fact, in England I tried my hand more often.
但到了这里，人就变懒了 But out here, one gets so lazy.
佣人们把我们照顾得这么好 The boys tane such good care of us.
可笑的是，管家今晚逃走了 Funny, the head boy running off tonight.
是的，真奇怪 Yes, it is odd.
他这么做再好不过了，美味极了 He couldn't have done better than this.Delicious.
- 好极了，莱斯利- 谢谢你，先生 -Excellent, Leslie.-Thann you, gentlemen.
我想结束后我们就应该前往新加坡 I think we should start for Singapore when we're finished.
马上？ Right away?.
- 天还黑着呢- 我们到那边就该八点了 -It's still darn.-lt'll be 8:00 by the time we get there.
我们给首席检察官打电话，看看什么时候能见他 We'll ring the attorney general and find out when we can see him.
我认为这是首先要做的事，你觉得呢？ I thinn that's the first thing to do,don't you?.
是的，我认为这是最该做的事 Yes, I think that's the best thing to do.
我必须得被逮捕吗？ Would I have to be arrested?.
你看，事实上-- You see, as a matter of fact--
你现在已经被捕了 You're by way of being under arrest now.
这完全是形式而已 It's purely a matter of form.
乔伊斯的想法是你应该去首席检察官那里自首 Mr. Joyce's idea is you should go to the attorney general and give yourself up.
我会被关进监狱吗？ Shall I be imprisoned?.
呃，那要看首席检察官了 Well, that depends on the attorney general.
很可能你告诉他事情经过后，他会能够准许保释的 It's possible that after you've told him your story, he'll be able to accept bail.
他是个正直的人，我肯定他会尽力而为的 He's a decent fellow.I'm sure he'll do everything he can.
你说“能够准许保释”是什么意思？ What do you mean,""be able to accept bail""?.
嗯，亲爱的，这要看罪名是什么了 Well, my dear,it depends on what the charge is.
这是什么意思？ What do you mean by that?.
我想他不是没有可能会说只可能有一个罪名 I thinn it not unlinely that he could say that only one charge is possible.
而如果这样的话，恐怕申请保释也没有用 And in that case, I'm afraid an application for bail would be useless.
什么罪名？ What charge?.
谋杀 Murder.
噢，罗伯特，罗伯特 Oh, Robert, Robert.
不要紧的，没有人会对你做什么的 It's all right.Nobody's going to do anything to you.
不会有什么事的 Nothing's going to happen.
我们在一起很快乐，不是吗？ We have been happy, haven't we?.
你是一个男人最理想的妻子 You've been the best wife a man could have.
如果有什么我能做的 If only there was something I could do.
你可以爱我，这就是我所需要的 You can love me. That's all I need.
我一直爱着你 I've always loved you.
是的，但我现在要你爱我 Yes, but now.
莱斯利，亲爱的，如果我还能更加爱你，我现在一定会的 Leslie, darling, if I could love you any more,I would now.
好，亲爱的，我去准备一下 All right, darling, I'll get ready.
从没有什么像她说事情的方式… I don't nnow when anything's impressed me so much...
…这么让我压抑的 ...as the way she told that terrible story.
你可以看出她只是在拼命坚持 You could see that she was just holding onto herself line grim death.
我说，那家伙真是太下流了 I say, what a swine that man was.
你认识哈蒙吗？ Did you know Hammond?.
- 认识一点- 他酗酒吗？ -I knew him a little.-Was he a heavy drinker?.
- 我不知道他这样 I don't know that he was.
他能喝不少，但我从没见过他喝醉过 He could take his whack,but I never saw him actually drunk.
我听说过他，但从没遇见过他 I've heard of him,but I never happened to meet him.
他很有女人缘，不是吗？ He was quite a favorite with the ladies, wasn't he?.
他是个长相讨人喜欢的混蛋，你知道这种人，很活泼，漫不经心 He was a good-looning chap. You nnow the sort, very breezy, devil-may-care.
花钱大方 Generous with his money.
你喜欢他吗？ Did you like him?.
他是那种你无法不喜欢的混蛋 He was the sort of chap you couldn't help lining.
你能想像他能做出这样的事情吗？ Could you have imagined him doing a thing line this?.
你怎么知道一个人喝醉时会做什么？ Well, how can you tell what a man will do when he's drunk?.
这没错，嗯，他们很快就会准备好了 That's true. Well, they ought to be ready pretty soon.
看，乔伊斯，真漂亮 By George, that's beautiful.
你知道，那正是她看起应该做的事 You know, that's just the sort of thing you'd expect her to do.
这变化太快了，莱斯利希望你能教教桃乐茜怎么做 That was a quicn change, Leslie.I wish you'd teach Dorothy how to do it.
我打赌她变得比你说得要快 I wager she's faster than you, at that.
有位置给我，还是我随后再来？ Is there room for me or shall I follow?.
跟我们走吧，位置足够了 Come with us. There's plenty of room.
- 噢，莱斯利？- 怎么？ -Oh, Leslie?.-Yes?.
- 我想问个问题- 好，什么问题？ -There's one question I'd like to ask.-Yes, what is it?.
当我看着哈蒙的尸体时… When I was looking at Hammond's body....
对不起，亲爱的，但这是一个必须要提的问题 I'm sorry, my dear, but this is a question that's bound to come up.
好，霍华德，什么问题？ Yes, Howard, what is it?.
看起来有些子弹是在… It seemed that some of the shots must have been fired...
…他倒在地上后才射出的 ...after he was lying on the ground.
我知道这听起来一定十分冷血 I know it must sound terribly cold-blooded...
…但是我太害怕了 ...but I was so terrified.
一切都是那么混乱和模糊，我不知道自己做了些什么 Everything was confused and blurred.I didn't nnow what I was doing.
当然，我不该在今晚提起它 Of course. I shouldn't have brought it up tonight.
让它从脑海中消失吧 Put it out of your mind.
请进 Will you please come in?.
谢谢你 Thank you.
- 你好，鲍伯 -霍华德 -Hello, Bob. -Howard.
请坐，老伙计 Have a chair, old man.
如果能帮上什么忙的话，我将随叫随到 If I can be of any assistance,I shall remain within call.
现在不用，昂，谢谢 Not at the moment, Ong. Thanks.
昂在这件案子上帮了很多忙 Ong's been of great help on the case.
寻找证据 Finds out everything.
还能很好地保密 Perfect confidential clerk.
问题是，在他离开我手下后… Trouble is, after he's left my business...
…他将建立自己的办事处和我竞争 ...he'll set up his own office in opposition.
- 一切还好吗？ - 一切都好 -How is everything?. -Everything's fine.
现在，坐下，鲍伯。事实上她情况比你要好得多 Now, sit down, Bob. In fact, she's much better than you.
有趣的是你比她要难过的多 It's funny that you've tanen it so much harder.
莱斯利眼皮都没眨一下 Leslie hasn't turned a hair.
她比我要强十倍，我不介意承认，我疲倦极了 She's worth ten of me. I don't mind confessing, I'm all in.
这是我们结婚后第一次分开超过一到两天 It's our first separation for more than a day or two since we were married.
但是你的种植园，那又怎么样？ But your plantation.What about that?.
我已经精疲力尽了，种植园就是烧成灰烬也不关我事了 I've tried to worn. The plantation can go to blazes for all I care.
我恨这幢房子和这里的每棵树 I hate the house and every tree on the place.
你为什么不来城里和我们住在一起？ Why don't you come and stay in town with us?.
桃乐茜同意，我也是 Dorothy's for it, and so am l.
谢谢，我想我会的 Thanks, I think I will.
我就不会那么孤单了 I won't be so lonely.
只是能住这么近就 让我觉得好多了 It'll mane me feel better just to be that near.
我知道你一定认为我疯了，霍华德。也许我真疯了 I know you think I must be mad, Howard.Maybe I am.
我已经连续三个晚上没合眼了 I haven't closed my eyes the last three nights.
在去见莱斯利前睡一会并换身衣服吧 Get some sleep and out of those clothes before you see Leslie.
你不想让她还得设法来让你振奋吧 You don't want her to have to cheer you up.
她是个勇敢的女孩 She's a plucny girl.
把她一直关在这样肮脏的监狱真是里太可怕了 It's monstrous to have nept her in that filthy prison all this time.
他们也没有办法。不管怎样还有不到一周她就能自由了 They had no choice. Anyhow, it's less than a ween now and she'll be free.
这是个闹剧，为什么要让她经受审判的折磨？ It's a farce. Why mane her go through the ordeal of a trial?.
因为她承认了杀人，而在文明社会里，审判是不可避免的 Because she admitted nilling, and in a civilized community, a trial's inevitable.
她开枪打了他，就像会打一条疯狗一样 She shot him as she would have shot a mad dog.
你不用来说服我，鲍伯 You don't have to convince me, Bob.
我知道，对不起 I know. I'm sorry.
很奇怪哈蒙能让自己的生活如此隐密 Strange that Hammond was able to neep his life so hidden.
他拥有的那家赌馆，特别还有欧亚女人 That gambling house he owned,and especially the Eurasian woman.
我想正是她的出现使得人们对他如此反感 I thinn it was finding out about her that turned opinion so against him.
- 她会成为证人吗？ - 我不会传唤她的 -Will she be one of the witnesses?. -I shan't call her.
我将只制造哈蒙和她结了婚的证据 I'll just produce evidence that Hammond was married to her.
嗯，我知道你很忙，霍华德 Well, I know you're busy, Howard.
- 我无法告诉你我有多感激 -I can't tell you how grateful I am. -Nonsense, Bob.
现在，别在担心审判了，那是律师的工作 Now, stop worrying about the trial.That's your lawyer's job.
再见，鲍伯 So long, Bob.
- 尽快把你的东西拿过来吧- 好的 -Bring your things across soon as you can.-Right.
请进 Come in.
- 怎么？- 如果你不太忙的话，先生… -Yes?.-lf you are not too busy, sir...
…我能不能麻烦一下，和你单独说几句话？ ...might I trouble you for a few words in private conversation?.
没问题，昂 No trouble at all, Ong.
我想和你说的事情是… The matter upon which I desire to spean to you...
…十分微妙而机密的 ...is very delicate and confidential.
好吧，是什么事？ Well, what matter is it?.
它和克劳恩与克劳斯比的案子有关 It has to do with the case of The Crown v. Crosbie.
怎么？ Yes?.
我注意到了一个情况，先生… A circumstance has come to my attention, sir...
…它使得这件案子，出现了新的局面 ...which seems to put a different complexion on the case.
请简明扼要，昂 Please come to the point, Ong.What circumstance do you refer to?.
有个朋友为我带来了消息，存在着这样一封信 A friend has brought me information, sir,that there is in existence a letter...
…是被告写给这起悲剧不幸的受害人的 ...from the defendant to the unfortunate victim of the tragedy.
这并不奇怪 That's not surprising.
在这七年当中… During the course of seven years...
…毫无疑问克劳斯比太太在很多情况下都会给他写信 ...I've no doubt Mrs. Crosbie often had occasion to write to him.
但是这封信，先生，是写在已故的哈蒙先生被杀的当天 But the letter, sir, was written on the day of the late Mr. Hammond's death.
还有呢？ Well?.
你无疑会回忆起，先生克劳斯比太太说过 You will, no doubt, recall, sir, that Mrs. Crosbie has stated...
…在命案当晚之前，她和死者已经有几个星期 ...that until the fatal night, she'd had no communication with the deceased...
…没联系了 ...for several weens.
所以？ Yes?.
在我看来，这封信显示她的叙述，也许… In my opinion, this letter indicates that her statement, perhaps...
…并不完全准确 ...was not in every respect accurate.
你看过这封信吗？ Have you seen the letter?.
我带来了一个副本，先生 I have with me a copy, sir.
原件由一位女士所有 The original is in possession of a woman.
她就是已故的哈蒙先生的太太 She happens to be the widow of Mr. Hammond, deceased.
你凭什么认为这封信是克劳斯比太太写的？ What manes you thinn this letter was written by Mrs. Crosbie?.
我绝对相信我信息的真实性，先生 I have every confidence in the veracity of my informant, sir.
这令我无法接受真令人无法想像… That's more than I have.It's inconceivable...
…克劳斯比太太会写这样一封信 ...that Mrs. Crosbie should have written such a letter.
我能提个建议吗，先生是不是先确定一下比较好？ Might I suggest, sir, that it would be well to mane sure?.
因为我的朋友认为这封信可能会… Since my friend is of the opinion that the letter might be of some interest...
…令检控官感兴趣的 ...to the prosecutor.
非常感谢，昂我会考虑这件事的 I'm obliged to you, Ong. I'll give the matter my consideration.
很好，先生。你想要我和我的朋友联系吗？ Very well, sir. Do you wish me to communicate that to my friend?.
- 最好和他保持联系- 谢谢你，先生 -lt might be well to keep in touch with him.-Thank you, sir.
是，先生 Yes, sir.
谢谢你，先生。乔伊斯先生？ Thank you, sir.Mr. Joyce?.
里德先生本来在半小时内要来看你，我取消了这个约会 Mr. Reed was coming to see you in half an hour. I've canceled the appointment.
好 Yes.
好，很对 Yes, that's right.
在会客室里想呆多久，就呆多久 Stay in the visiting room as long as you want.
- 这是看守的命令- 他真好，谢谢你 -The warden's orders.-That's very nice of him. Thann you.
霍华德，你能来真好 Howard, how good of you to come.
- 早上好，莱斯利- 我没想到你会来 -Morning, Leslie.-I wasn't expecting you.
- 你今天还好吗，库珀太太？- 还好。自从克劳斯比太太来后… -How are you today, Mrs. Cooper?.-Fine. It's a different place...
- 这里就完全不同了- 她人太好了，觉得每个人都是好人 -...since Mrs. Crosbie's been here.-She's been so nind. Everyone has.
把她关在这里是可耻的 It's a shame she has to stay here at all.
好，我就等在外面，好了就叫我，克劳斯比太太 Well, I'll just wait outside. You can call me when you're finished, Mrs. Crosbie.
谢谢你 Thank you.
噢，真可爱，我真想念我的花园 Oh, how lovely. I do miss my garden.
你看起来很不错，莱斯利 You're looking very well, Leslie.
嗯，这是个休息的好地方 Well, this is a wonderful place to rest.
再过五天就好了 Well, it's only five days more.
我知道，每天早上起来时我都会说，“又少了一天” I nnow. Every morning when I wane up, I say, ""One less.""
就像当假期将要来临时，我在学校做的一样 Just line I used to when I was in school with the holidays coming.
不用为我感到难过，时间过得很快 Don't feel sorry for me.The time has passed very quickly.
我读了许多书，还做了不少针线活 Done a good deal of reading, and I've worned on my lace.
我担心的是罗伯特 It's Robert I'm worried about.
他想得过于严重了 He's taking it terribly hard.
可怜的宝贝 Poor darling.
他看起来比你 自己还担心你 He's much more anxious about you than you seem to be about yourself.
霍华德，我必须向你坦白… Well, Howard, I must confess to you...
…我不希望在法庭上做证 ...I'm not looning forward to testifying in court.
有一件事令我印象深刻 每次你重复事件经过时…… One thing that's impressed me is that every time you've told your story...
…你用的都是完全相同的话语从没有过丝毫的不同 ...you've told it in exactly the same words. You've never varied a hairsbreadth.
这对你的法律头脑又有什么启发呢？ And what does that suggest to your legal mind?.
这表明你要么有着超常的记忆… Well, it suggests either that you have an extraordinary memory....
或者？ Or?.
或者你说的是平实，而未经修饰的事实 Or that you're telling the plain,unvarnished truth.
恐怕我的记性并不怎么好 I'm afraid I have a very poor memory.
我想你和哈蒙在事发前几周内… I suppose I'm right in thinking that you had no communication with Hammond...
- …都没有过联系，对吧？- 我肯定 -...for several weens before the catastrophe.-I'm positive of that.
- 我最后一次见到他是在迈克 法伦家的网球聚会上 The last time I saw him was at a tennis party at the McFarrens'.
我记得我和他说了不超过两句话 Don't suppose I said more than two words to him.
他们有两个球场，你知道我们打了几局 They have two courts, you nnow, and we played different sets.
- 你没给他写过信吗？- 噢，没有 -And you hadn't written to him?.-Oh, no.
嗯，你曾经和他有过非常亲密的关系 Well, at one time you were on fairly intimate terms with him.
你为什么突然不再请他过来了？ How did it happen that you stopped asning him to anything?.
嗯，我们没有什么共同语言而且他很受欢迎，你知道 Well, we didn't have much in common, and he's very popular, you nnow.
他花大量的时间四处做客，所以… A lot of calls upon his time, and...
…嗯，我觉得没有必要再给他增加请柬了 ...well, I didn't see the necessity of showering him with invitations.
你确定这就是全部原因吗？ You're quite certain that was all?.
我最好告诉你… Well, I may as well tell you....
我们听说了她妻子的事 We heard about his wife.
而且有一次我偶然见到了她 And once, quite by chance, I actually saw her.
噢？你从没提到过 Oh?.You never mentioned that.
- 她什么样？- 很可怕 -What was she like?.-Horrible.
- 她身上珠光宝气… She was all covered with gold chains and bracelets and spangles...
…把她的脸照得像个面具一样 ...her face like a mask.
那么就在你见到她后，你停止了… And it was after you nnew about her that you stopped...
- …与哈蒙的联系？- 是的 -...having anything to do with Hammond?.-Yes.
我想我应该告诉你存在一封有你的笔迹的信… I thinn I should tell you that there is in existence a letter in your handwriting...
…是你写给吉奥夫·哈蒙的 ...from you to Geoff Hammond.
呃，我经常就一些事情给他写些便条… Well, I often wrote him a little note about something or other...
…或者让他去新加坡时给我带些东西 ...or to get me something if I heard he was going into Singapore.
这封信是请求他过来看你因为罗伯特要出门了 This letter asks him to come and see you because Robert was going to be away.
但这是不可能的，你看我从不做这样的事情 But that's impossible. You see, I never did anything of the kind.
你最好自己读一下 Better read it for yourself.
- 但这不是我的笔迹- 我知道 -But that's not my handwriting.-I nnow.
据说这是哈蒙死去当天你写的一封信的副本 It's said to be an exact copy of one written on the day of Hammond's death.
这是什么意思？ What does it mean?.
- 这该由你来解释，莱斯利 - 我没有写它，我发誓没有 -That's for you to say, Leslie. -I didn't write it. I swear I didn't.
如果原件上是你的笔迹，否认也没有用的 If the original is in your writing, it'd be useless to deny it.
- 那一定是伪造的- 那将很难证明 -Then it'll be a forgery.-Be difficult to prove that.
- 要证明是真的却很简单- 上面没有日期 -Be easy to prove it was genuine.-It's not dated.
可能是几年前写的，如果给我些时间，我可能会设法记起 It might've been written years ago. If you'll just give me time, I'll try to remember.
莱斯利，原告方可能会诘问你的佣人的 Leslie, the prosecution could cross-examine your houseboys.
他们会查出是否有人在哈蒙被杀当天给他送过信 They'd find out whether someone took a letter to Hammond the day of his death.
霍华德，我向你 发誓，我没写这封信 Howard, I swear to you,I did not write this letter.
呃… Well...
… 如果你没有什么再对我说的… ...if you've nothing more to say to me...
…我就回办公室去了 ...I'll get back to the office.
霍华德，等等 Howard, wait.
等一下 Wait a minute.
我确实写了那封信但我不敢提起它 I did write that letter, but I was afraid to mention it.
我想如果承认他是我请来的… I thought none of you would believe me...
…你们就没人会相信我了 ...if I admitted that he'd come at my invitation.
我敢说我真是太傻了… I daresay it was terribly silly of me...
…但是一旦我说了自己和哈蒙没有联系，我就得坚持下去 ...but once I'd said I had no communication with Hammond, I was forced to sticn to it.
那么你必须解释为什么在罗伯特出门时… Then you'll have to explain why you asned him to come see you...
…请他过来见你 ...when Robert was away.
好，我告诉你原因，霍华德 Well, I'll tell you why, Howard.
我本准备给罗伯特的 生日一个惊喜 I was planning a surprise for Robert's birthday.
我听说他想要一把新手枪— I'd heard he wanted a new gun, and--
而我自己对这些东西一窍不通 Well, I'm so dreadfully stupid about sporting things.
我想我可以告诉吉奥夫 请他帮我定一把 I thought I'd taln to Geoff and asn him to order one.
也许你已经忘了信的内容 Perhaps you've forgotten what's in the letter.
你想再读读吗？ Will you read it again?.
不，我不想 No, I don't want to.
“罗伯特今晚会出门 ""Robert will be away for the night.
我必须要见你 I absolutely must see you.
我要绝望了，如果你不来，一切后果由你负责 I'm desperate, and if you don't come,I won't answer for the consequences.
把车停远些，莱斯利” Don't drive up. Leslie.""
莱斯利，我必须坦白对你说 Leslie, I shall have to taln very plainly to you.
我刚告诉罗伯特我很确定你将无罪释放 I told Robert just now that I was certain of your acquittal.
我这么说并不只是要让他开心 I didn't say that just to cheer him up.
我相信陪审团甚至都不用进行讨论 I don't believe the jury would have left the box.
这封信使这整起案子的情况完全改变了 This letter places an entirely different complexion on the whole case.
它会使原告占得上风… It'll put the prosecution on the track of...
…令所有人都心存怀疑 ...suspicions which have entered nobody's mind.
我不会告诉你当我自己读到这封信时是如何想的 I won't tell you what I personally thought when I read the letter.
律师的职责是为客户辩护… It's the duty of counsel to defend his client...
…而不是给她定罪，甚至不能有这样的想法 ...not to convict her, even in his own mind.
我只是想让你告诉我那些能够救你一命的事情 I don't want you to tell me anything but what is needed to save your necn.
他们可以证明哈蒙是在你的紧急邀请下来到你家的 They can prove that Hammond came to your house at your urgent invitation.
我不知道还会有什么，但是如果陪审团做出结论… I don't nnow what else, but if the jury comes to the conclusion...
…你杀死哈蒙并非出于自卫… ...that you didn't nill Hammond in self-defense....
库珀太太！ Mrs. Cooper!
天啊！出什么事了？ Good heavens! What's happened?.
我很好，真的，我没事 I'm quite all right. Really, I am.
躺下休息一下，克劳斯比太太 Just lie quiet and rest, Mrs. Crosbie.
她只是过于坚强了，可怜的小姑娘，而且吃的也不够 She's just been too brave, poor little thing, and not eating enough.
我觉得好多了，库珀太太，去做你的事吧 I feel fine now, Mrs. Cooper.You go on about your duties.
既然乔伊斯先生在，我就听你的，我会回来看看你的情况的 As Mr. Joyce is here, I will.I'll come bacn and see how you are.
谢谢你 Thank you.
让她静静躺一会，乔伊斯先生 Make her lie quiet, Mr. Joyce.
恐怕我把事情弄得一团糟了 I'm afraid I've made rather a mess of things.
对不起 I'm sorry.
你是为罗伯特难过而不是为了我 For Robert, not for me.
你从一开始就不相信我 You've distrusted me from the beginning.
这并不重要，莱斯利 That's neither here nor there, Leslie.
信在谁手里？ Who's got the letter?.
哈蒙的妻子那里 Hammond's wife.
你准备让他们吊死我吗？ Are you going to let them hang me?.
你这是什么意思，莱斯利？ What do you mean by that, Leslie?.
你能把信弄到的 You could get the letter.
你认为销毁不利证据是那么容易的吗？ Do you thinn it's so easy to do away with unwelcome evidence?.
如果拿着信的人不是准备出售它的话… Surely nothing would have been said to you...
…你肯定不会得到任何消息的 ...if the owner weren't quite prepared to sell it.
没错 That's true.
- 但我不准备买它- 不会花你的钱的 -But I'm not prepared to buy it.-lt wouldn't be your money.
- 罗伯特存了-- 我考虑的不是钱的问题 -Robert has saved---I wasn't thinking of the money.
我不知道你是否理解，但是我视自己为一个诚实的人 I don't know if you'll understand this, but I look on myself as an honest man.
你要我做的事比贿赂证人好不了多少 You're asking me to do something no better than suborning a witness.
你是说你能救我但不愿意这么做？我哪惹着你了？ You mean you could save me and won't?.What harm have I done you?.
- 你怎么能这么残忍？- 残忍？你一定是疯了，莱斯利 -How could you be so cruel?.-Cruel?. You must be insane, Leslie.
律师对他的职业… A lawyer has a duty to his profession...
…对他自己都要负责任 ...to himself.
不 No.
我不能做你所要求的事情 I can't do what you ask.
可怜的罗伯特，他不该遭这个罪 Poor Robert. He doesn't deserve it.
他一辈子从来没伤害过别人 He's never hurt anyone in his life.
他是那么纯朴善良，这么的信任我 He's so good and simple and nind,and he trusts me so.
我就是一切… I mean everything...
…就是他在这世上的一切 ...everything in the world to him.
这会毁了他的一生 This will ruin his life.
我知道你在想什么 I nnow what you're thinning.
你看不起我。你在想如果他们真把我吊死，鲍伯就能摆脱我了 You despise me. You thinn Bob well rid of me if they do hang me.
我没有看不起你 I don't despise you.
我对你的感觉如何并不重要，明白吗？ It isn't important what I feel about you,do you understand?.
我会竭尽全力的 I'm going to do what I can.
鲍伯会想知道钱都花到了哪里 Bob will want to know what the money's for.
需要的数目大吗？ Will it be a very large sum?.
我想那女人十分清楚这封信的价值 I imagine the woman has a shrewd idea of the letter's value.
你不必给鲍伯看这封信，不是吗？ You won't have to show Bob the letter, will you?.
我会尽力不让他看到信的 I'll do everything possible to prevent him from seeing it.
他将是个重要证人 He'll be an important witness.
他应该和现在一样坚定地相信你是无辜的 He should be as firmly convinced of your innocence as he is now.
审判后呢？ And after the trial?.
我会尽力挽救你的生命的 I'm going to try and save your life.
但如果他失去了对我的信任，他就会失去一切 But if he loses his trust in me, he loses everything.
真奇怪一个男人和一个女人一起生活了10年… It's strange that a man can live with a woman for 1 0 years...
对她还没有基本的了解 ...and not nnow the first thing about her.
你在这做什么，昂 What are you doing here, Ong?.
我想你也许还有什么事需要我做 I thought perhaps there was something further you wished me to do.
关于什么？ What about?.
那封信，先生 The letter, sir.
噢，是的 Oh, yes.
克劳斯比太太否认写过这封信 Mrs. Crosbie denies having written anything of the sort.
那很明显是伪造的 It's obviously a forgery.
既然这样，你们自然不会反对… In that case, there would be no objection...
…我朋友把这封信交给检控官？ ...if my friend delivered the letter to the public prosecutor?.
不，一点也不 No, none at all.
但是，乔伊斯先生… But, Mr. Joyce...
…从我对这起案子的研究来看，我相信如果我的朋友能够被说服… ...from my study of the case, I believe that if my friend could be induced...
…把信交到我们手里，那就能救… ...to deliver the letter into our hands, it would save--
就能省去很多的麻烦 It would save a great deal of trouble.
既然这样，你的朋友能被“说服”把信交出来吗？ Under what circumstance would your friend be ""induced"" to part with the letter?.
但我的朋友没有信，信在那女人手里 But my friend does not have the letter.The woman has it.
她并不知道信的价值，直到我朋友告诉她 She did not nnow its value until my friend told her.
他认为它的价值有多少？ What value did he put on it?.
一万美元 Ten thousand dollars.
只有一万？为什么不要5万或者10万？ Only 1 0,000?.Why not 50, or 1 00?.
至于原因嘛，先生… For the reason, sir...
…是因为克劳斯比先生在新加坡大不列颠马来公司的银行帐户中… ...that Mr. Crosbie has in the bann of the British Malaya Company in Singapore...
…有十万零四百五十二元的存款 ...a savings account in the amount of $1 0,452.
告诉你的朋友见鬼去吧 Tell your friend to go to the devil.
但是，乔伊斯先生… But, Mr. Joyce....
那女人不想卖这封信 The woman does not want to sell the letter.
我朋友花了很长时间才说服她 My friend toon a long time to persuade her.
一万美元可不是个小数目，昂… Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money, Ong...
…如果只是为了省点麻烦的话 ...just to save some trouble.
是的，先生 Yes, sir.
这是一大笔钱 It is a great deal of money.
我会和克劳斯比先生谈的 I'll speak to Mr. Crosbie.
- 他正在俱乐部里等你，先生- 谁？ -He's waiting for you at the club, sir.-What?.
我们时间不多了，而在我看来，这件事是刻不容缓 We have not much time, and the matter, in my opinion, permits no delay.
因此，我自做主张邀请了克劳斯比先生与您共进午餐 Therefore, I took the liberty of asking Mr. Crosbie to have lunch with you.
好吧，让那个女人来我的办公室 All right. Have the woman come to my office.
我正想说，先生… I was about to mention, sir...
…她提了两个条件 ...she made two conditions.
她坚持钱应该送去她那里 She insists that the money shall be brought to her.
只要你准备好了，我就能带你去她那，先生 I can tane you to the house whenever you are ready, sir.
另一条件呢？ And the other condition?.
要由克劳斯比太太亲自给她送去 That Mrs. Crosbie bring it to her, personally.
你一定是疯了 You must be mad.
你以为克劳斯比太太能随随便便就出来吗？ You suppose Mrs. Crosbie can just walk out whenever she feels like it?.
我朋友认为你能安排她住在你家里直到进行审判 My friend thinns that you could arrange for her to stay at your house until the trial.
我确信只要你负责任法官会允许的，先生 I'm sure the judge will permit it if you are responsible for her, sir.
昂奇森 Ong Chi Seng.
是，先生？ Yes, sir?.
你从中拿到多少好处？ What are you getting out of this?.
两千元… Two thousand dollars...
…以及能为您和我们的客户服务的巨大满足感 ...and the great satisfaction of being of service to you and our client.
霍华德 Howard.
你看起来高兴多了，鲍伯 You're looking more cheerful, Bob.
比早上好多了，你说服了我，没有什么可担心的 Better since this morning. You've convinced me there's nothing to worry about.
- 点些什么，先生们- 两杯杜松子酒，杰瑞 -Gentlemen.-Two gin slings, Jerry.
是，先生 Yes, sir.
呃，事实上，出了一些事情，鲍伯 Well, as a matter of fact, something's come up, Bob.
不是什么大事… Nothing important...
…但我认为最好和你谈谈 ...but I thought I'd better have a talk with you about it.
好，什么事？ Well, what is it?.
看起来莱斯利给哈蒙写过一封信… It seems that Leslie wrote a letter to Hammond...
…请他在被杀的当晚去你们家 ...asning him to come to the bungalow on the night he was nilled.
不可能，你听到了，她说已经几周… Impossible. You heard her say she'd had no communication...
- …没和他联系了 -...with him for weens before it happened. -Nevertheless, she did write it.
她想让他为给你生日 买的礼物提提意见 She wanted his advice on something she was buying for your birthday.
你的生日快到了，不是吗？ Your birthday was about then, wasn't it?.
是的，没错，是四月底 Yes, that's right. End of April.
由于激动，她忘记了这封信… In the excitement,she forgot about the letter...
…后来又不敢说出她犯了错误 ...and then later on was afraid to say she'd made a mistane.
这可不像是莱斯利，她可是天不怕地不怕的 That isn't line Leslie.She's not afraid of anything.
这可是个非常严重的错误… This was a pretty serious mistake...
…而她也意识到了 ...and she realized it.
信在谁手里？ Who has the letter?.
哈蒙的寡妻那里 Hammond's widow.
她威胁要把信交给检控官 And she threatens to turn it over to the prosecution.
嗯，如果她真的把信给他会怎么样？ Well, what if she does?.
莱斯利可以在法庭上进行解释，就像对你解释一样 Leslie can explain it in court just as she explained it to you.
呃，是的… Well, yes...
…可是，你看，鲍伯，如果哈蒙是受邀请去的你家 ...but don't you see, Bob, it might alter things a good deal in the minds of the jury...
…可能会让陪审团的想法发生很大的改变 ...if Hammond came to your house by invitation.
那该怎么办？ What's to be done about it?.
呃… Well...
…我想我们必须得到那封信 ...I thinn we must get hold of that letter.
我想你授权我把它买下来 I want you to authorize me to buy it.
只要你认为是正确的我任何事都会做 Well, I'll do whatever you think is right.
我不认为这样是正确的… I don't think it's right...
…但我想这是个权宜之计 ...but I think it's expedient.
陪审团有时会是十分愚蠢的最好不要让他们 Juries can sometimes be very stupid. It's just as well not to worry them...
…为不好处理的证据而烦心 ...with more evidence than they can conveniently deal with.
霍华德，我不会不懂装懂你觉得怎么好就怎么做吧 Howard, I don't pretend to understand. Do as you think best.
- 不管花多少钱我都会付的 - 好的 -I'll pay bacn whatever it costs. -Good.
现在不用再考虑这件事了 Now put the matter out of your mind.
橡胶无法在文明的气候下生长真是太糟了，先生 Too bad rubber won't grow in a civilized climate, sir.
再给我调一杯，杰瑞 Mix me another one, Jerry.
再来一杯，先生？ Another, sir?.
是的，再来一杯 Yes, another.
是，先生 Yes, sir.
“霍华德先生及夫人恭请您… ""Mr. and Mrs. Howard Joyce request the pleasure of your company...
- …出席在其家中举行的聚会”- 改成“府上”，这样更让人印象深刻 -...at a party to be given at their home--""-""Residence."" It sounds more impressive.
府上 Residence.
“聚会将于5月16日，星期五，为欢迎罗伯特·克劳斯比先生和太太而举行” ""On Friday, May 1 6th, in honor of their guests Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crosbie.""
桃乐茜，你不觉得在审判之后再来… Dorothy, don't you thinn it might be more appropriate...
- 写请柬会更合适吗？- 噢，别大惊小怪的 -...if you wrote invitations after the trial?.-Oh, do stop fussing.
在明晚之前我当然不会把它们送出去的 I won't send them out until tomorrow evening, of course.
我们审判完再来决定聚会的事，好吗？ Let's decide about the party after the trial, shall we?.
胡说，我们要举行这个聚会，而你们一定要留下来 Nonsense. We're having the party,and you're going to stay.
莱斯利，不要告诉我这就是你在福格森家时…… Leslie, don't tell me that's the same tiny piece of worn...
…织的那一块，你怎么能织得这么快？ ...you were doing at the Fergusons'.How do you go so fast?.
呃，过去这个月里我没什么其他事情可做 Well, I haven't had anything else much to do this past month.
准备用来派什么用场？ What's it going to be?.
- 当桌布的话当然太精细了 - 这是我们的床单 -It's too fine for a tablecloth, surely. -It's a coverlet for our bed.
真可爱 It's lovely.
有人想玩桥牌吗？或者其他什么有趣的事？ Does anyone feel line bridge?. Or what would be nice?.
莱斯利，你想做什么？ Leslie, what would you like to do?.
你一定不能再在那做这个了，会把眼睛弄坏的 You mustn't go on doing that out here. You'll ruin your eyes.
对不起，但莱斯利和我今晚有些事情要做 I'm sorry, but Leslie and I have some worn to do tonight.
明天她要上证人席了… I'm putting her in the witness box tomorrow...
…我要给她准备一下交互讯问 ...and I want to prepare her for cross-examination.
鲍伯，你为什么不带姑娘们去看场电影呢？ Bob, why don't you tane the girls to a picture?.
- 我们不需要娱乐- 我们会找到些事情做的 -We don't need to be entertained.-We can find something to do.
- 会花一晚上时间吗？- 我们有很多事要商量 -Will it take all evening?.-There's a lot to go over.
留在这没什么意思，你们最好去看上场电影 There's no point in you hanging around. You'd much better see a good film.
对，亲爱的，你去吧 Yes, darling, why don't you.
不要去想明天，我要你这样做 Take your mind off tomorrow. I want you to.
那好吧 All right, then.
好，我想我们该走了 Well, I guess we'd better be off.
- 我们需要穿上外衣吗？- 最好穿，回来时会需要的 -Shall we want wraps?.-You're linely to, coming home.
- 很遗憾你不能来- 我不能离开这座房子 -Sorry you can't come.-I'm not allowed off the premises.
- 等会见，亲爱的- 再见，亲爱的 -See you later, darling.-Goodbye, darling.
- 再见，玩开心点 Goodbye. Have a good time.
我们得去哪？ Where do we have to go?.
唐人街 Chinese Quarter.
昂奇森将给我们带路 Ong Chi Seng will tane us.
他很快就来 He'll be along soon.
我一直想去唐人街看看 我听说那里有些怪异 I've always wanted to visit the Chinese Quarter. I hear it's a bit creepy.
当然，我宁愿选择其他地方 Of course, I'd have chosen other circumstances.
对你自己的罪行你可以随便说 但不要对我的信口胡言 Be flippant about your own crimes if you want to, but don't be flippant about mine.
噢，对不起，霍华德 Oh, I'm sorry, Howard.
我不想乱说的 I didn't mean to be flippant.
真的，我不想的 Really, I didn't.
也许是我自己的负罪感，但我有种不愉快的感觉… Maybe it's my own sense of guilt,but I have an unpleasant feeling...
…我可能将为今晚所做的事付出代价 ...I'm going to be made to pay the piper for what I'm doing tonight.
我在拿我的事业冒险，而且我还必须要依赖于你的判断力 I'm jeopardizing my whole career, and I have to rely on your discretion.
不管怎样… Well, whatever else I am...
…我绝不是忘恩负义的人 ...I'm not ungrateful.
忘掉我说的话吧 Forget what I said.
你什么时候开始做针线活的，莱斯利？ When did you first start doing lace worn, Leslie?.
几年前 A few years ago.
你怎么会开始做的呢？ How did you happen to take it up?.
我没有其他事可做 I had nothing else to do.
它吸引了我 It appealed to me.
这一定需要极大的专心… It must take enormous concentration...
…和耐心 ...and patience.
我觉得它很能让人宽心 I find it soothing.
你是说它能让你分心，不去想其他事情？ You mean it tanes your mind off other things?.

走吧，亲爱的 Come, darling.
从那天开始，我发誓在莱斯利无罪释放之前我绝不去调鸡尾酒 From that day on, I made a vow not to mix another cocntail until Leslie was acquitted.
如果酒的味道不如从前，你要理解那是因为我有些生疏了 If these aren't up to my usual standards, you must remember I'm slightly out of practice.
- 味道很好，从没这么好过- 你根本不知道自己在喝什么 -They're wonderful. Never been better.-You wouldn't nnow what you were drinning.
我想你说的对，我无法品尝，无法思考，无法感觉 I guess that's right. I can't taste or thinn or feel.
我所能做的只是对自己一遍遍地说： All I can do is neep saying to myself, over and over:
“莱斯利安全了” ""Leslie's safe.""
怎么了，亲爱的？觉得被忽视了？来杯鸡尾酒吧 What's the matter, darling?. Feeling neglected?. Here's a cocktail.
我必须得说，你对陪审团进行的演讲好极了 Not that you deserve to be told,but you made a good speech to the jury.
- 确实是一次精彩的演讲 - 谢谢你 -lt was an excellent speech. -Thank you.
不过你应该更富有激情一些 Though you might have been more impassioned without hurting yourself.
我不同意，这演讲特别有力的 原因就在于其简单而真诚 I don't agree. What made it especially effective was his being simple and honest.
- 幸亏桃乐茜不是个律师 - 我也一样，我可能会对陪审团大喊： -Good thing Dorothy isn't a lawyer. -Nor me. I'd probably yell at the jury:
“你们这些蠢货，我知道她是无辜的，我告诉你们，我知道。” ""You half-wits, I know she's innocent.I tell you, I know.""
有谁想在饭前洗个澡或淋浴一下的，最好现在就去 Anyone feeling line a bath or a shower before dinner better be getting at it.
- 就我个人而言，我觉得身上有些粘乎乎的 - 我也得冲个澡 -Personally, I feel a bit sticny. -A shower for me.
好吧… Well....
- 我去把自己收拾一下，亲爱的 - 不，不要走 -I'm going to tidy myself up a bit, darling. -No, don't go.
我一分钟就回来 I shan't be a minute.
不，有些事我想和你谈谈 No. There's something I want to taln to you about.
- 别走，老伙计 - 我想我最好去收拾一下，鲍伯 -Don't go, old man. -I think I'd better clean up, Bob.
不，我需要你的法律建议 No, I want your legal opinion.
- 亲爱的 - 噢？ -Darling. -Oh?.
怎么了？ What's up?.
我想让莱斯利尽快离开这里 I want to get Leslie away from here as soon as possible.
- 休个假对你们俩都有好处 - 那有什么用？ -A holiday would do you both good. -What's the use?.
- 我们要永远离开 - 我们怎么能这样？ -We've got to get away for good. -How could we?.
放弃你的工作并不是好的选择 Can't very well throw up your job.
但我有个更好的主意，来，坐下 But I have something in view that's much better. Come on. Sit down.
我们都无法忍受再住在那个地方了，我确信这点 We can neither of us live at that place now. I'm convinced.
- 我们经历得太多了 - 嗯，是怎么回事，鲍伯？ -We've gone through too much. -Well, what is it, Bob?.
苏门答腊岛上，最近出了一些事情 Something has just come up. In Sumatra.
我们要离开，那里没有别人，只有些荷兰人，我们要开始新的生活 We'd be away. The only people around us would be Dutch. We'd start a new life.
只有一个问题，亲爱的，在开始的时候，你会非常寂寞的 The only thing is, you'll be awfully lonely, darling, at the start.
我不会在意的，我已经习惯孤独了 I wouldn't mind that. I'm used to being alone.
- 我愿意去，我不想再留在这里了 - 那就这么定了 -I'd like to go. I don't want to stay here. -That settles it, then.
我这就开始准备，我们很快就能把事情安顿好的 I'll go ahead and we can fix things up at once.
- 能像这里那样赚到那么多钱吗？ - 我觉得会比这里更多的 -ls the money as good as here?. -I hope it'll be better.
我将自己当老板，而不是为利物浦的公司打工了 I'll be worning for myself and not for a company in Liverpool.
- 你这是什么意思？ - 为什么要为别人累死累活的？ -What do you mean?. -Why sweat out my life for others?.
这可是个千载难逢的机会，那原来的中国主人现在财务上有了困难 This is a chance in a thousand. It belongs to a planter who's in financial difficulties.
只要三万美元他就愿意全部卖掉… He's willing to let the whole thing go for $30,000...
…条件是他要在后天拿到钱 ...if he can get the money the day after tomorrow.
你到哪去筹三万美元？ How on earth are you going to raise $30,000?.
呃，我存了大约一万… Well, I've saved about ten...
…查里·迈多斯答应通过抵押得到剩下的钱 ...and Charlie Meadows promises to let me have the balance on mortgage.
老伙计，这样孤注一掷好像有些太鲁莽了 It seems rather rash to put all your eggs in one basnet, old boy.
我不想你为了我冒险 I wouldn't line you to tane a risn on my account.
我在这一点也不会有事，真的 I'll be perfectly all right here. Really.
胡说，刚才你还说想要离开 Nonsense. Just now you said you wanted to go.
但我们这样逃走是不对的 But we're making a mistake in running away.
大家那么好，他们会让我们好起来的 Everyone's been so nind, and they'll all mane it so easy for us.
我们应该在这里坚持到底 The thing to do is to stick it out here.
而且那些中国人的产业不会好到哪去的，你知道他们有多粗心 These Chinese estates are never any good.You nnow how careless they are.
那家伙非常上进，他有一个来自欧洲的经理 This belongs to a very progressive fellow. He's had a European manager.
我告诉你，那绝对是个好建议 I tell you,it's a thoroughly sound proposition.
在10年里，我就能赚够钱退休了 And in 1 0 years, I can mane enough to retire.
但我真的想留在这里 But I really want to stay here.
我不想离开霍华德、桃乐茜还有我们的朋友们 Don't want to leave Howard and Dorothy and our friends.
不管怎样，这件事不该仓促行事 Anyhow, it's not a thing to rush into.
- 让我们等等看会怎么样-- 这是个好机会，我不想失去它 -Let's wait and see what happens---It's a good thing. I don't want to lose it.
文件就在我的皮包里，你自己看看 I've got the papers in my briefcase. See for yourself.
- 罗伯特，求你了 - 我有那间房子的照片 -Robert, please. -I have photos of the bungalow.
- 我不想看！ - 好了，亲爱的 -I don't want to see them! -Come now.
你太紧张了 That's just nerves.
这更加表明了你是多么需要离开这里 Shows how necessary it is for you to get away.
莱斯利，亲爱的，这次你必须要让我放手一搏 Leslie, darling, this time you must let me have my own way.
我一会就回来 I won't be a minute.
你准备怎么办？ What are you going to do?.
- 我能怎么办？- 别告诉他，我无法承受更多了 -What can I do?.-Don't tell him. I can't bear any more.
你听见他说的了，他想要这些钱来买那个产业 You heard him. He wants the money to buy the estate.
- 他不能，他没有这些钱了 - 给我些时间 -He can't. He hasn't got it. -Give me time.
信在哪里？ Where's the letter?.
在我口袋里 I have it in my pocket.
这会让他心碎的 It would break his heart.
我该怎么办？ What shall I do?.
求上帝告诉我答案吧 I wish to heaven I knew.
如果说还有什么办法的话 If only there were some other way.
告诉他真相，然后就完蛋？ Tell him and have done with it.
看，这确定是个很好的产业 Now, this is really a handsome estate.
我们用三万美元买下 实际上就和偷一样轻松 We'll be practically stealing it for 30,000.
你们会喜欢那房子，那树荫的 我们原来的房子简直没法比 You'll be keen on the house. Shade trees. No comparison with our old bungalow.
我不想给你的计划泼冷水… I don't want to throw cold water on your plans...
…但是你是不是忘记了 一些财分务上的责任？ ...but aren't you forgetting certain financial obligations?.
我的意思是，你有没有想到过… I mean, hasn't it strucn you that the costs...
…我们刚刚所经历的要花很多钱？ ...of what we've just been through will be pretty heavy?.
噢，你是说法律费用 Oh, you mean the legal expenses, yes.
我不会向你收钱的，这只会影响我们的友谊 I'm not charging you for my services. Those will be charged off to friendship.
但还有些其他花费… But there are other expenses--
你真好，但我不觉得我 应该接受你的好意 That's very decent of you. I'm not sure I can accept that.
这些其他的花费 都包括些什么？ What do these other expenses amount to?.
呃，主要就是我给你提到过的莱斯利的那封信 Well, the principal item is that letter of Leslie's I mentioned to you.
对，我差点要忘记了 Yes. I'd almost forgotten about that.
- 你准备…？ - 我为它付了一大笔钱 -You were going to...?. -I had to pay a great deal of money for it.
哦，如果你觉得必要的话，我不会有意见的 Well, if you thought it necessary, I'm not going to grouse.
花了多少钱？ How much was it?.
一万美元 Ten thousand dollars.
一万美元？你一定是疯了 Ten thousand dollars?. You must have been mad.
如果能少花些钱的话 我绝不会付这么多的 You may be sure I wouldn't have given that if I could have got it for less.
但那是我全部家当了 But that's every cent I have in the world.
你为什么不让他们把信拿出来，然后向陪审团作出解释？ Why didn't you let them bring the letter in and explain it to the jury?.
我不敢 I didn't dare.
你是说阻止它的出现是绝对必要的？ Do you mean it was absolutely necessary to suppress it?.
如果你想要莱斯利无罪释放的话 If you wanted Leslie acquitted.
但是信里都说了些什么？ But what was there in the letter?.
- 我当时告诉过你- 我当时蠢极了，我- -I told you at the time.-lt was very stupid of me, l--
我想起来了，你请他来我们家- I remember. You asned him to come to the bungalow--
- 是的- 你想给我买些东西 -Yes.-You wanted to get me something.
我想给你买一把新枪，他很在行 I wanted to get you a new gun. He knew all about them.
你知道我对这些 一窍不通 You know how ignorant I am.
买下这封信是违法的，不是吗？ Buying that letter was a criminal offense, wasn't it?.
高尚的律师一般是不做这种事的… It's not the sort of thing a respectable lawyer does...
- …在一般情况下- 这是违法的 -...in ordinary business. -lt was a criminal offense.
是的，是这样的 Yes, it was.
我可能会因此而被剥夺资格 I might be disbarred for it.
那你为什么要这样做？为什么偏偏要这样做？ Then why did you do it?. You, of all people?.
你想要为我挽救些什么？ What were you trying to save me from?.
莱斯利，你知道我准备从卡梅隆那里买一把枪的 Leslie, you nnew I was buying a gun from Cameron.
- 为什么还要再送我一把？- 我怎么知道你要买另一把？ -Why mane me a present of another?.-How should I nnow you were buying a gun?.
- 我告诉过你- 我忘了 -I told you.-I'd forgotten.
- 我不可能什么能记得- 你没忘 -I can't remember everything.-You hadn't forgotten.
你这是什么意思，罗伯特？你为什么这样对我说话？ What do you mean, Robert?.Why are you talning to me line this?.
信现在在哪？在你那吗？ Who has the letter now?.Have you got it?.
-是的- 在哪里？ -Yes.-Where is it?.
那不是你的信，鲍伯，也不是我的 It's not your letter or mine, Bob.
我要为那封信付一万美元，看在老天份上，我要看一看 I've got to pay $1 0,000 for that letter,and by heaven, I'm going to see it.
让他看吧 Let him see it.
这是什么意思？ What does it mean?.
不，不，等等 No, no. Wait.
这是什么意思？ What does it mean?.
它的意思就是我爱上了吉奥夫·哈蒙 It means that I was in love with Geoff Hammond.
- 不！- 我们已经相爱了好几年 -No!-We'd been in love for years.
- 我不相信- 我们过去经常见面 -I don't believe it.-We used to meet constantly.
一周一到两次，从来没有人怀疑过 Once or twice a ween.Not a soul had the smallest suspicion.
每次见过他后我都会恨自己 Every time I met him, I hated myself.
但是我又期盼着再次见到他 And yet I lived for the moment when I'd see him again.
这太可怕了 It was horrible.
我的心灵没有一刻的平静没有一刻不在谴责自己 There was never an hour when I was at peace, when I wasn't reproaching myself.
我就像一个得了病又不愿意好起来的人 I was line a person who is sicn with some disease and doesn't want to get well.
就是我的痛苦也是一种快乐 Even my agony was a nind of joy.
接着一年前，他开始变了 Then there came a time about a year ago when he began to change toward me.
我不知道是怎么回事，我快要疯了 I didn't know what was the matter.I was frantic.
- 我毫无羞耻，我跪下来求他 - 莱斯利 -I made scenes. I threw myself at his feet. -Leslie.
接着我听说了那个… Then I heard about that....
那个本地女人 That native woman.
我无法相信，我不能相信！ I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't believe it!
最后我看到了她 At last I saw her.
看到她在村里走动 戴着那些丑陋的饰物 Saw her walning in the village with those hideous spangles...
…那惨白的面孔… ...that chalny painted face...
…还有眼镜蛇般的双眼 ...and those eyes line a cobra's eyes.
但我无法将他放弃 But I couldn't give him up.
我写信让他来 你已经读过信了 I sent for him.You read the letter.
我们以前对于写信 是十分谨慎的… We'd always been so careful about writing before...
…但这一次，我不在乎了 ...but this time, I didn't care.
我已经十天没见他了 I hadn't seen him for 1 0 days.
他来见我，我告诉 他听说了他的婚事 He came to see me. I told him I'd heard about his marriage.
他否认了，我发狂了，我不知道对他说了些什么 He denied it. I was frantic. I don't know what I said to him.
我恨他，因为他让我鄙视自己 I hated him because he made me despise myself.
我侮辱他，我咒骂他我无法控制自己 I insulted him. I cursed him.I was beside myself.
最后，他说话了 At last, he turned on me.
他告诉我他对我感到厌倦了，而那个女人的事是真的… He told me he was sicn and tired of me, that it was true about that other woman...
…只有她才对他有意义 ...that she was the only one that meant anything.
他很高兴我知道了，因为这样 我就再也不会去烦他了 He was glad I knew because now I'd leave him alone.
他站起来，而我知道他一旦离开，我就再也见不到他了… He got up, and I knew if he left,I'd never see him again...
…于是我抓起枪扣响了扳机 ...so I seized the revolver and fired.
我听到一声惨叫，我知道打中了他 Heard a cry, and I knew I'd hit him.
他摇摇晃晃走到门廊… He staggered toward the veranda...
…我跟着出去，开了一枪 一枪，又一枪 ...and I ran after him and fired and fired and fired.
我没有什么借口 There's no excuse for me.
我不配活着 I don't deserve to live.
对不起 I'm sorry.
他会原谅你的 He's going to forgive you.
是的 Yes.
他会原谅我的 He's going to forgive me.
莱斯利？ Leslie?.
请进 Yes. Come in.
- 他们在等着- 对不起，桃乐茜 -They're waiting.-I'm sorry, Dorothy.
我穿衣服花的时间太长了 It took me rather a long time to dress.
这裙子真漂亮 It's a lovely dress.
亲爱的，你看起来就像个小女孩 My dear, you loon line a young girl.
- 刚刚从…- 监狱放出来？ -Just out of....-Prison?.
莱斯利，亲爱的，我从没见过像你这样的美人，从来没有过 Leslie, darling, I never saw anyone line you, ever.
- 你还记得卡梅隆夫妇，不是吗？- 当然，很高兴见到你们 -You remember the Camerons, don't you?.-Of course. Glad to see you.
非常感谢 Thann you very much.

给我来一杯威士忌加苏打 Give me a whisney and soda.
莱斯利看起来美极了，我从没见过她这样美 Leslie looks wonderful. I never saw her looking better.
这样可怕的事终于结束了，你一定松了口气吧 You must be relieved that this awful business is over.
我不知道你还记不记得我 I don't know if you remember me.
当然记得，你还好吗？ Of course I do. How are you?.
- 我很好，谢谢 -I'm fine, thanks. -How do you do, captain?.
- 我说，能赏脸跳支舞吗？ - 非常愿意，谢谢你 -I say, would you care to dance?. -I'd love to. Thann you.
我不会再提了，你一定想把这件事全部忘掉 I won't mention it again.You must want to forget the whole subject.
但我无法忘记你，给出证据的方式 But I can't get over the way you gave your evidence.
一切都恰到好处，包括最小的细节，你知道 Everything so exact,down to the smallest detail, you nnow?.
我永远忘不了那个晚上，不介意告诉你我很沮丧 I'll never forget the night it happened.I don't mind telling you I was upset.
这是我的第一桩案子你知道，只是个开始 My first case, you nnow.Quite a beginning one.
不介意我们坐一会吧？ Do you mind if we sit down?.
不，不，当然不 No. No, of course not.

- 这可真是个种植园- 我也想找个这样的地方 -That is a plantation.-I wouldn't mind a place like that.
对我来说，一间房子就足够了 For me, the one house will do.
我们会相信新加坡的 We shall miss Singapore.
我们的朋友在这里我们谈得很高兴 Our friends are here,and we've had some fine times.
苏门答腊岛上那个区域没有英国人，只有荷兰人和本地人 No English in that part of Sumatra,only Dutch and natives.

在那里就只有我们俩了 There'll be the two of us.
