我再給你倒一杯酒 Let me get you another drink.
馬克 在東尼來之前 我得說明一件事 Mark, before Tony comes, I ought to explain something.
好呀 我正等著要聽呢 Yes, I've been waiting for that.
我還沒告訴他關于我們的事呢 I haven't told him anything about us.
這不難想象 的確不好開口 That's not surprising. It's a tough thing to do.
你今天早上打電話的時候 我只簡單的說你寫犯罪小說 When you telephoned this morning, I simply said you wrote crime stories.
以及...以及我跟你見過一次面 And I'd met you once when you were here before.
聽來很有罪惡感 我從來沒有在我的故事里用過 That has a pretty guilty ring to it. I'd never use it in one of my stories.
馬克 我知道你會認為我很呆 Mark, I know you think it's silly.
但等你了解東尼你就會明白 我為什么這么說呢 When you get to know Tony, you'll understand why I said that.
親愛的 我現在就明白但我還是愛你的 Darling, I understand now. That doesn't stop me from loving you.
那不是像你說得這么簡單的 It's not as simple as that.
-東尼變了 -謝謝 -Tony's changed. -Thanks.
他跟我所告訴你的完全不同了 He's a completely different person to the one I used to tell you about.
真的嗎 是什么時候開始變的? Really? When did all this happen?
就在我來道別的那個晚上 That night I came to say goodbye.
當我離開了 你的住所回到這里來 When I left your apartment, I came back here.
我坐下來好好的哭了一場 I sat down on the sofa and had a good cry.
然后我就睡著了 And then I fell asleep.
而當我醒來時 When I woke up...
東尼就拿著他所有的球拍袋子 站在那兒 There was Tony standing in the hall with his bags and tennis rackets.
他只說了他決定放棄打網球 并且安定下來找一個工作 He just said he decided to give up tennis and settle down to a job.
-就像這樣? -就像這樣... -Just like that? -Just like that.
當然我起初并不相信他 但是他是認真的 沒錯 Of course, I didn't believe him at first, but he meant it, all right.
從那時起 他就表現得非常好了 But he's been wonderful ever since.
我想那就是 你停止給我寫信時了 I suppose that's when you stopped writing me.
瑪歌 對不對? Margot, is it?
還記得你給我寫的那些信嗎? Do you remember the letters you wrote to me?
記得 我記得 Yes, I remember.
我看完了信之后 我就把信燒掉 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那一封 You probably know the one I mean.
沒錯 我想我是知道的 Yes, I think I do.
那封信怎么樣了? What about it?
那封信被偷了 It was stolen.
有一天東尼和我要到鄉間去 和朋友們共渡周末 Tony and I were going to spend the weekend in the country with friends.
當我們在月臺上等時 我注意到我的手提袋不見了 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? -在維多利亞車站 -Where was this? -Victoria Station.
本來我以為丟在餐廳了 可是回去也沒找到 I thought I'd left it in the restaurant, but when I went back, it had gone.
你是說 你再也沒找到那手提袋? You mean you never found it?
大約兩個星期之后 I recovered the handbag about two weeks later...
我在失物招領處找到了手提袋 from the lost and found,
可是那封信已經不在里面了 but the letter wasn't there.
大約一星期之后 我收到了個通知 Then about a week afterwards, I received a note.
通知上告訴我 怎樣才能得回那封信 It told me what I had to do to get the letter back.
好 繼續 說下去 Yes. Go ahead. Go on.
我得從我的銀行里 提領五十磅 全是五磅鈔票 I was to draw £50 from my bank in £5 notes...
然后再把它們 全換成一磅的舊鈔 and then change them for used £1 notes.
通知上 是我去報警 或是告訴任何一個人 It said that if I went to the police or told anyone else...
他就要把那封信給我丈夫看 He would show the letter to my husband.
那張通知你還留著嗎? You still have the note?
印刷體 全都是大寫字母 Printed, all capitals.
-任何人都會做這種事 -兩天之后 -Anyone could've done this. -Two days later...
-我又收到了這一封 -兩封都是在布瑞克斯頓寄出的 -I got this one. -Both mailed in Brixton.
把錢裝到包裹里并郵寄至 "Throw half the money in a package and mail to John S. King.
布鎮新港街23號金約翰收 23 Newport Street, Brixton SW9.
你的信就會寄還給你了 You'll get your letter by return."
那是人們用來 收信的小店的地址 It's a little shop. People use it as a forwarding address.
你沒有寄那些錢吧 寄了 You didn't mail the money.
瑪歌 但是那信從未寄還給我 Yes, but the letter was never returned.
所以等了兩個星期 我便去了那里 So after waiting about two weeks, I went there.
他們說從未聽過這個名字 Said they had never heard of a man by that name.
而那包裹仍然在那從沒被開過 The parcel was still there. It had never been opened.
一定有文章 這兩封信給我好嗎 That's something, I suppose. May I keep these?
如果你要 可以呀 Yes, if you like.
我不明白 你為何不告訴我呢? I can't understand why you didn't tell me.
你又不能怎么樣 There wasn't anything you could do.
你可能會要我報警或告訴東尼 You probably would have made me tell Tony and the police.
才50英磅 我想破財消災了事 It was only £50, I thought I'd pay and have done with it.
今晚我要告訴東尼我們的事 I'm gonna tell Tony about us tonight.
不行 馬克 你絕對不能說 No, Mark, please, you mustn't.
你不明白 東尼改變了 You don't understand. Tony's changed.
拜托 Please.
我希望是一年前 你來道別的時候 I wish it was a year ago, when you came to say goodbye.
我們站在廚房里 我幾乎要說 我不能再這樣下去了 We were in the kitchen. I said, "I can't go through with this.
我們去找東尼把一切告訴他 Let's find Tony and tell him all about it."
我后來相信你已經告訴他了 I believe you'd have done it then.
我看得出來 這將是個難挨的夜晚 Well, I can see this is gonna be a rough evening.
咱們所有的人 彼此說些好聽的話 All of us saying nice things to each other.
聽我說 你只有一件事沒說明白 Look, there's only one thing you haven't explained.
你為什么 沒有把那封信也給燒了 Why didn't you burn that letter too?
你總算回來了 怎樣? 我們以為你根本不回來了 There you are. We thought you were never coming.
-你在忙什么呢 -抱歉 親愛的 我正要走 -What have you been up to? -I'm sorry. The boss blew in...
-老板進來了 -東尼 見過馬克?哈利戴 -just as I was leaving. -Tony, this is Mark Halliday.
-你好 馬克 -你好 東尼 -Mark. -Tony.
我回來這么晚實在抱歉 I'm terribly sorry to be so late.
-馬克 你來這還自在吧? -好 很好 -How do you like it over here, Mark? -Well, fine. Just fine, Tony.
這是你頭一次到倫敦來嗎? Is this your first visit to London?
不是 我一年前來這渡過假 No, no. I was here a year ago for vacation.
對了 瑪歌告訴過我了 你... Oh, yes, that's right. Margot told me.
你是為無線電臺編劇的吧? You write for the radio, don't you?
不是 是電視臺 寫我犯的罪 No, television, for my sins.
-親愛的 你預訂了桌子了沒? -訂了 七點鐘 -Darling, did you reserve a table? -Yes, 7:00.
-那快走吧 -親愛的 計劃有些改變 -Come on, then... -Darling, a slight alteration in plans.
-現在可別說你不能去了 -我怕是如此 -Now, don't say you can't go. -I'm afraid so.
柏吉斯那老頭星期天要搭機去布魯塞爾去 Old man Burgess is flying to Brussels on Sunday.
我要在明天前完成我的月報表 And I have to get my monthly report in by tomorrow.
你不能等我們回來再做嗎? Can't you do it when we get back?
我怕不成 要花很久才成 I'm afraid not. It'll take hours.
有一半我還得造假 那... I shall have to fake half of it as it is.
散場后你能來跟我們會合嗎? 我們可以去別的地方 Could you join us after the theater? We might go somewhere.
中場時你何不打電話給我呢? Give me a ring in intermission.
-也許我能趕來 你會趕來嗎? -會的 -lf I'm inspired, I might make it. -Well, do try.
馬克 我去拿皮包 I'll just get my things, Mark.
-這是戲票 -東尼 謝謝 -Here are the tickets. -Thanks, Tony.
我怕我這一來實在是失禮 I'm afraid this is terribly rude of me.
一點也不 你不能來我只是難過 Not at all. I'm just sorry you can't come.
-找個晚上你一定得來吃晚餐 -謝謝 我很樂意 -You must come to dinner. -I'd like that.
還有 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.
想參加純男性聚會嗎 Would you like to join a stag party?
-純男性? -沒錯 -A stag party? -Yes.
一些美國男孩來打網球 Some Americans have been playing tennis all over the continent.
我們為他們開一個道別晚餐會 We're giving them a farewell dinner.
-我懂了 但我不算是網球手呀 -那無所謂 -I'm not much of a tennis player. -Doesn't matter.
你了解紐約和這些事 You know New York and all that.
-親愛的 馬克明晚要參加派對 -那好 -Mark's coming to the party tomorrow night. -Good.
你最好先到這來喝上一杯 You better drop in here first and have a drink.
-這主意好 -對 好吧 -That's the idea. -Yes. All right.
-我去找計程車 -不用 隨時都有 -I'll try and get a taxi. -No, we can usually pick one up.
再見 親愛的 So long, darling.
快快樂樂的去吧 Enjoy yourself.
-東尼 再見 -再見 -So long, Tony. -Good night.
-馬克 -怎樣? -Oh, Mark. -Yes?
把那多出來的票賣掉去買酒喝 Sell the extra ticket and have a drink on the proceeds.
-好的 東尼 這主意好 -玩得愉快呀 -All right. We'll try. -Have a good time.
謝謝 晚安 Thanks. Good night.
-哈? -漢普頓7899號嗎? -Hello. -Hello. Hampstead 78-double-9?
-是的 -李斯蓋特上尉在嗎? -Yes. -Could I speak to Captain Lesgate?
-我就是 -晚安 -Speaking. -Good evening.
你不認識我 我姓費雪 You don't know me. My name is Fisher.
我知道你有一部車子要賣 I understand you have a car for sale.
-對 是輛美國車 -對 我在你修車廠看到了 -Yes, an American car. -Yes, I saw it at your garage.
-你開價多少? -一千一百 -How much are you asking? -Eleven hundred.
一千一百 我知道了 車是不錯 Eleven hundred? I see. It certainly looks just the job for me.
不過價錢太高了 I don't like that price much.
我買時也嫌它太貴了 I didn't like it when I bought it.
-我們什么時候可以碰面呢? -明天下午行嗎? -Now, when can we meet? -Well, now, how about tomorrow afternoon?
我怕我抽不出空來 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...
-你今晚能到我家嗎? -是在那里呢? -You couldn't come to my flat tonight? -Where is it?
并不遠 其實我該去看你的 只是我的膝蓋扭得不輕 Maida Vale. I'd call on you, only I've twisted my knee rather badly.
我很難過 那你地址呢? I'm sorry. Well, what's your address?
-嘉倫頓公園路61A -柴瑞頓 -61 A Charrington Gardens. -Harrington?
不...嘉倫頓 地下道向左轉 No. Charrington. Turn left at the underground.
-步行約兩分鐘 -我大約一小時內到 -It's a two minutes' walk. -I'll be there in an hour.
那真太好了 還有... 你可以把車開來嗎 That's extremely good of you. By the way, will you bring the car?
-我怕不成 -那沒關系 我已經仔細看過了 -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帶來吧? You might bring the registration book and any necessary papers.
-當然可以 -假設你可以把價錢合理的降低 -Yes, of course. -We can settle this...
我看 咱們現在就可以在我這成交 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.
總之 我們喝上幾杯再看吧 Well, we'll see what a couple of drinks can do.
-好了 再見了 -再見 -Well, goodbye. -Goodbye.
-費雪先生嗎? -李斯蓋特上尉嗎? -Mr. Fisher? -Captain Lesgate?
-對 -對 那請進吧 -Yes. -Won't you come in?
謝謝你 Thank you.
你真是客氣 It's very good of you.
把大衣脫下來吧 Let me have your coat.
-到這來不難找吧? -不難 一點也不難 -Have any difficulty finding your way? -No. None at all.
請坐 來杯酒如何? Do sit down. How about a drink?
我禁不住要想 我以前在哪見過你 I can't help thinking I've seen you before somewhere.
你這么說真是好玩 It's funny you should mention that.
就在我開門的那一刻我... The moment I opened the door, l...
等一等 李斯蓋特 Wait a minute. Lesgate?
你不是李斯蓋特 史望 CJ史望 You're not Lesgate. Swan. C.J. Swan.
-或是CA? -CA -Or was it C.A.? -C.A.
總之 你的記性比我的好 Well, you've got a better memory than I have.
費雪 我們什么時候見過面的? Fisher. When did we meet?
-你上過劍橋嗎 -上過 -Weren't you at Cambridge? -Yes.
一定是廿年前了 Must be 20 years ago.
你不記得我了 我在你最后一年才來上學的 You wouldn't remember me. I only came your last year.
-是呀 多巧啊 -沒錯 這值得特別喝上一杯的 -Well, what a coincidence. -Yes, this calls for a special drink.
本來我想拿假酒來招待你呢 I was planning to palm you off with an indifferent port.
看看我們這里有什么可喝的 But let's see what we have here.
-喝這一瓶怎樣 -太好了 -How about this? -Perfect.
還有 你怎么知道我要賣車呢? So how do you know my car's for sale?
是你的修車廠告訴我的 Your garage told me.
我想我在那跟誰都沒提過 Odd. I don't think I mentioned it to them.
我從那路過說我要找輛美國車 I got a fill-up and told them I wanted an American car.
他們就給了我你的電話 我是說 車是要賣吧 They gave me your phone number. I say, it is for sale, isn't it?
-當然 -那好 不過在你喝三杯白蘭地前 -Of course. -Good, but I refuse to discuss the price...
-我是拒絕討論價錢的 -但是我警告你 -until you've had three brandies. -I warn you...
-不管我醉或清醒 我是很會討價的 -我也是 -I drive a hard bargain, drunk or sober. -So do I.
是啊 從我們離開劍橋之后 我一定在那見過你 I think I must have seen you somewhere since we left Cambridge.
到過溫布頓去嗎? Ever been to Wimbledon?
就是了 溫地斯 東尼溫地斯 That's it. Wendice. Tony Wendice.
-費雪又是怎么回事? -李斯蓋特又是怎么回事? -What's all this about Fisher? -What's all this about Lesgate?
你要來一支雪茄嗎? Would you like a cigar?
不要 謝了 我還是抽我的煙斗 No, thanks. I'll just stick to my pipe.
這是一個你改變了的習慣 That's one habit you've changed.
我記得在大學時 你總是抽相當貴的雪茄 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.
對了 Yes.
對了 這就有一張 Yes. Here's one.
是在開同學會時照的 Taken at a reunion dinner.
那就是你 咬著一支大雪茄 There you are with the biggest cigar in the business.
這是我唯一一次參加的同學會 That's the first and last reunion I ever went to.
-我看來真像是個冷血的刺客呢 -沒錯 是相當像 -What a murderous thug I look. -Yes, you do rather.
當然 因為大學舞會我總記得你 Of course, I always remember you because of the college ball.
你是總務股長 對不對? You were the treasurer, weren't you?
榮譽總務股長 我通常總是安排這些活動的 Honorary treasurer. I used to organize the beastly things.
對 有些活動的票錢被偷了對吧 Some of the ticket money was stolen, wasn't it?
沒錯 幾乎有一百英磅 That's right. Almost £100.
我把錢放在我書房的現金箱里的 到了早上錢不見了 I'd left it in a cashbox in my study, and in the morning, it had gone.
-當然是大學門房干的 -當然 可憐的老阿弗雷德 -It was the college porter, of course. -Yes. Poor old Alfred.
他永遠也成不了事的 He never could back a winner.
-他們在他后院找到了現金箱 -可是沒有找到錢 -They found the cashbox in his back garden. -But not the money.
-廿年前的事了 -這些日子你從事什么呀? -Twenty years ago. -What are you doing nowadays?
我在搞房地產 我不太留意網球 I deal in property. I don't follow tennis very closely.
-你還打嗎 -不 我放棄了網球 -Do you still play? -No, I've given it up.
或是網球放棄了我 日子總得過 Rather, tennis gave me up. One has to earn a living sometime.
我把我的錢處理得還可以 環球旅游了三次 And I had a pretty good run for my money. Went round the world three times.
-你現在干嘛呢 -賣運動器材 -What are you doing now? -I sell sports equipment.
利潤不很高 但有空閑時間 It's not very lucrative, but it gives me plenty of spare time.
我看你把這地方弄得挺舒服的 I see you manage to run a very comfortable little place.
我太太她自己也有些錢 My wife has some money of her own.
不然 那有錢花一千磅買你車呢 Otherwise, I should hardly feel like blowing £1000 on your car.
是一千一百 Eleven hundred.
有錢人不知道他們有多幸運 People with capital don't realize how lucky they are.
我賺的錢過日子都還不夠 I'm almost resigned to living on what I can earn.
反正 你總可以為錢而結婚呀 You can always marry for money.
沒錯 我想有人就這么做呢 Yes, I suppose some people make a business out of that.
-我知道我就是 -她為什么嫁你呢 -I know I did. -Why do you think she married you?
我是網球明星啊 Well, I was a tennis star.
而你放棄網球 而她并沒有離開你 Yes, but you've given up tennis. She hasn't left you.
她幾乎離開我 She nearly did.
在我們婚后 我每次參加大賽 After we were married, I played in championships...
都帶瑪歌去 and took Margot with me.
她不很喜歡 等我回來之后 She didn't like it, and when we got back...
她想叫我放棄網球而好好的當丈夫 she tried to make me give up tennis and play husband instead.
結果我們妥協了 In the end, we compromised.
我單獨在那球季去美國 I went alone to America for the grass-court season...
并且得了幾個冠軍回來 and returned after the national championships.
不久我就了解了 我不在時發生了很多事情 I soon realized a lot had happened while I was away.
有一件事就是她不再愛我了 For one thing, she wasn't in love with me anymore.
如果我偶然的必須走進屋里 通話中的電話會突然中止 There were phone calls which would end abruptly if I happened to walk in.
有一個老校友時常來拜訪我們 There was an old school friend who used to visit from time to time.
有一天 我們吵了架 One day, we had a row.
我要去參加一場比賽 I wanted to play in a covered-court tournament...
和平時一樣 她不要我去 and, as usual, she didn't want me to go.
我在臥房里 電話鈴響了 I was in the bedroom. The phone rang.
聲音聽來很急的樣子 It all sounded pretty urgent.
在這之后 她像是很熱心的要我去參加比賽 After that, she seemed rather keen that I play in the tournament.
所以我就把球具裝上車 開車走了 So I packed my kit into the car and drove off.
我把車停在兩條街以外 又順原路走了回來 I parked the car two streets away, walked back in my tracks.
十分鐘后 她從屋里出來 并上了計程車 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.
他用煤氣爐煮通心粉時 I could see them through the studio window
我可以從工作室窗戶看見他們 as he cooked spaghetti over a gas range.
他們話說得不多 他們在一起看來非常自然 They didn't say much. They just looked very natural together.
你能看出來人們是在戀愛中 實在是件好玩的事 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 如果她離開我會怎樣 I began to wonder what would happen if she left me.
我得設法開始賺錢過日子了 I'd have to find some way of earning a living, to begin with.
突然之間我了解到 我有多依賴她 I suddenly realized how much I'd grown to depend on her.
所有的這些 我需要的高品味享受 All these expensive tastes I'd acquired while I was at the top.
現在 我跟網球大賽絕了緣 Now, big tennis had finished with me...
所以 顯然的我依賴我太太了 and so, apparently, had my wife.
我不記得我有那么害怕過 I can't ever remember being so scared.
我進了一家酒館 喝了幾杯酒 I dropped into a pub and had a couple of drinks.
當我坐在那角落里時 我想過各式各樣的事情 As I sat in the corner, I thought of all sorts of things.
我想過三種不同殺死他的方法 I thought of three different ways of killing him.
我甚至于想過殺死她 I even thought of killing her.
這看來是個更好的主意呢 That seemed a far more sensible idea.
就在我想著我要怎么樣去做時 And just as I was working out how I could do it...
我突然看見了一件使我主意完全改變的事情 I suddenly saw something which completely changed my mind.
總而言之 我沒有去參加比賽 I didn't go to that tournament after all.
當我回來時 她就坐在你現在坐的位子上 When I got back, she was sitting exactly where you are now.
我告訴她我決定放棄網球 并且要好好的照顧她 I'd told her I decided to give up tennis and look after her instead.
-然后呢 -然后... 事情的演變是 -Well? -Well, as things turned out...
我根本用不著干嘛 I needn't have got so worked up after all.
顯然的 他們的通心粉之夜是一個道別之會 Apparently, their spaghetti evening had been a sort of a fond farewell.
那男友被召回紐約去了 The boyfriend had been called back to New York.
-是個美國人 -沒錯 -An American? -Yes.
然后就有長信從那邊來 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 她燒了所有的信 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.
那封信她總是隨身帶著 It was always with her.
那封信成了我的致命傷了 That letter became an obsession with me.
我必須了解信上寫的是什么 I had to find out what was in it.
終于 我了解了 Finally, I did.
那封信讀來可很有趣呢 That letter made very interesting reading.
-你是說你偷了那封信 -對 -Do you mean you stole it? -Yes.
我甚至于寫了兩封匿名信 說是愿意把那封信歸還 I even wrote her two anonymous notes offering to sell it back.
-為什么呢 -我是希望那會使她 -Why? -I was hoping it would make her...
把他的一切全都告訴我 come and tell me all about him.
可是她并沒有告訴我 所以 我就保留了這封信 But it didn't, so I kept the letter.
你為什么告訴我這些呢? Why are you telling me all this?
因為你是我唯一信任的人 Because you're the only person I can trust.
總之 還是起了作用 Anyway, that did it.
一定使他們有了對上帝敬畏之心 因為信停止了 It must have put the fear of God into them because the letters stopped.
而自那之后我們一起快樂的過著日子 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...
我坐在那優雅的酒館里 事實上在計劃看要謀殺她 I sat in that nice bridge pub actually planning to murder her.
要是我沒有看見 And I might have done it...
使我改變主意的 我可能就會把她謀殺了 if I hadn't seen something that changed my mind.
那么 你看見什么了呢? Well, what did you see?
我看見了你 I saw you.
這又有什么特別呢? What was so odd about that?
只不過是巧合 聽我說 The coincidence.
就在看見你前的一個星期 Only a week before, I'd been to a reunion dinner.
我去參加同學餐會時 人們在談你 And the fellows were talking about you.
在戰時你是怎樣的被軍法審判 How you had been court-martialed during the war.
并坐了一年牢 這可是新聞 A year in prison. That was news.
留神聽 在大學時我們都說 老史望早晚會去坐牢的 Mind you, at college, we'd all said that Swan would end up in jail.
-我想是為了那現金箱 -現金箱又怎樣 -That cashbox, I suppose. -Well, what about it?
親愛的朋友 誰都知道那些錢是你拿去的 My dear fellow, everybody knew you took that money.
可憐的老阿弗雷德 Poor old Alfred.
多謝你的酒 Thanks very much for the drink.
聽你的婚姻插曲也很有趣 Interesting, hearing about your matrimonial affairs.
我認為你根本不想要那輛車 I take it you won't be wanting that car after all.
你不想要我告訴你 我為什么約你到這來嗎? Don't you want me to tell you why I brought you here?
想呀 我想你還是告訴我吧 Yes, I think you'd better.
當我在酒館看見你時 就有念頭了 It was when I saw you in that pub that it happened.
突然間 一切都非常清楚了 Suddenly, everything became quite clear.
幾個月前 瑪歌和我立了遺囑 A few months before, Margot and I had made our wills.
要是發生意外 財產都留給對方 這是件該做的事情 Short affairs, leaving everything we had to each other, in case of accidents.
她的財產剛好超過九萬英磅 Hers worked out at just over £90,000.
大部份是投資 要弄到手太容易了 Investments mostly, all a little too easy to get at.
要是他們疑心我就太危險了 And that was dangerous. They would be bound to suspect me.
我需要一個不在現場證明 一個很好的不在現場證明 I need an alibi, a very good one.
然后我就看見了你 Then I saw you.
我常想人們出了獄之后會怎樣 I'd wondered what happened to people who came out of prison.
我是說像你這種人 People like you, I mean.
他們能找到工作嗎? 老朋友會伸出援手嗎? Can they get jobs? Do old friends rally round?
假設他們從來沒有任何朋友呢? Suppose they never had any friends.
我變得非常好奇的想要知道 所以我就跟蹤了你 I became so curious to know that I followed you.
我那天整晚跟蹤你 然后... I followed you home that night and...
請把你的杯子遞給我? 老兄 Would you mind passing me your glass, old boy?
謝謝你 非常謝謝 Thank you. Thank you very much.
-從那天起我就一直跟蹤你 -為什么呢 -I've been following you ever since. -Why?
我是在希望遲早我會逮到你的把柄 I was hoping sooner or later I might catch you at something...
-而能... -勒索我 -and be able to... -Blackmail me?
影響你 Influence you.
幾個星期之后 就知道了你的習慣 After a couple of weeks, I got to know your routine...
-跟蹤起來就容易得多了 -很乏味的工作呀 -and that made it a lot easier. -Rather dour work.
開始時是的 To begin with, yes.
但你知道如何 那就成了你的愛好 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.
你變得相當的有趣呢 You became quite fascinating.
事實上 有的時候我覺得你幾乎是屬于我的 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 四到賽狗場去 You used to go to the dog-racing, Mondays and Thursdays.
為了接近你我甚至自己也去 I even took it up myself, just to be near you.
-你還把你的姓改成了亞當斯 -我對史望這個姓煩了 -You'd changed your name to Adams. -Yes. I got bored with Swan.
-這觸犯什么法了嗎 -沒有 -Any crime in that? -No. No. None whatever.
事實上你沒有什么不合法的事 In fact, there was nothing really illegal about you.
我變得相當氣餒呢 I got quite discouraged.
然后 有一天你從租屋處失蹤了 Then one day, you disappeared from your lodgings.
我打電話給你的女房東 我說亞當斯先生欠我五英磅 I phoned your landlady. I said, "Mr. Adams owed me £5."
顯然的 這不算什么 But apparently that was nothing.
她最好的房客亞當斯先生欠她六周的租金 五十五英磅 Mr. Adams owed her six weeks' rent in her best lodge at £55.
亞當斯先生是個那么好的紳士 Mr. Adams had been such a nice gentleman.
這是最令她生氣的地方 That's what seemed to upset her most.
是呀 這總是最令她們生氣的 Yes. That always seems to upset them most.
我說老兄 如果你要再來一杯 I say, old boy, if you want another drink...
你不介意戴上這雙手套吧? do you mind putting on these gloves?
咱們說到那了 我把你跟丟了 Now, where were we? Yes, I'd lost you...
然后有一天 我在賽狗場找到了你 and then I found you one day at the dog-racing.
并且跟蹤你到你在貝爾賽公園路 And I tailed you home to your new lodgings in Belsize Park.
亞當斯先生變成了 威爾遜先生了 There Mr. Adams became Mr. Wilson.
威爾遜先生離開了貝爾賽公園路 欠下了十六周的租金 Mr. Wilson left Belsize Park owing 16 weeks' rent...
而由于和一位華莉絲小姐 短暫的交往似乎闊氣了一些 and somewhat richer for a brief encounter with a Miss Wallace.
你通常在星期三 日約華莉絲 You used to take Miss Wallace out on Wednesdays and Sundays.
她當然是愛上了你 對嗎? She certainly was in love with you, wasn't she?
我想你留了這英俊的胡子 就是為了要討好她 I suppose she thought you were growing that handsome mustache to please her.
可憐的華莉絲小姐 Poor Miss Wallace.
這全都很有意思 請說下去 This is all very interesting. Do go on.
七月 八月 九月 卡萊爾大廈第127號公寓 July, August, September: Apartment 127, Carlisle Court.
住著一位凡登太太 Occupant: a Mrs. Van Dorn.
她過世的丈夫留給她兩家旅館和一所公寓樓 都有家具 Her late husband left her two hotels and a large apartment house, furnished.
李斯蓋特上尉 要從哪下手呢 What a base to operate from, Captain Lesgate.
唯一的問題是 她十分喜歡被追求 The only trouble is, she does rather enjoy being courted.
而跟她在一起花錢跟流水一樣 And she's so very expensive.
也許這就是一個月來 你一直想要把她的車子賣掉 Perhaps that's why you've been trying to sell her car for over a month.
凡登太太要我替她賣車子的 Mrs. Van Dorn asked me to sell it for her.
我知道 你要之前我跟她通過話 I know. I called her up just before you arrived here.
她只要八百英磅 She only wanted 800.
最近的派出所在哪? Where's the nearest police station?
在教堂對面 步行兩分鐘 Opposite the church. Two minutes' walk.
-假設我現在走到那 -你告訴他們什么呢 -Suppose I walk there now. -What would you tell them?
-一切 -一切? -Everything. -Everything?
所有關于亞當斯先生和威爾遜先生的事情? All about Mr. Adams and Mr. Wilson?
我只要簡單的告訴他們你想勒索我去從事 I should simply tell them that you are trying to blackmail me into...
從事? Into?
謀殺你的老婆 Murdering your wife.
我幾乎希望你會去告 等她聽了 I almost wish you would.
我們就會有 我們這生最大的笑料 When she heard that, we'd have the laugh of our lives.
-你難道忘了什么嗎 -我有嗎 -Aren't you forgetting something? -Am I?
你今晚告訴了我相當多的事情 You've told me quite a lot tonight.
-是什么呢 -假設我告訴他們 -What of it? -Suppose I tell them...
你如何 跟蹤她到柴西區的工作室 how you followed her to that studio in Chelsea...
以及看他們煮通心粉這些事情 and watched them cooking spaghetti and all that rubbish.
-這些話他們會信吧 -當然會 -Will that ring a bell? -It would.
他們會認為是你自己跟蹤她的 They'd assume you'd followed her.
-我為什么要跟蹤她呢? -你為什么偷她的皮包呢? -Me? Why should I? -Why should you steal her handbag?
你為什么 給她寫那些勒索信呢? Why should you write those blackmail notes?
你能證明你沒有那么做嗎? Can you prove you didn't?
你當然不能證明是我干的 You certainly can't prove I did.
那就成了你的話對抗我的話 It'll be a straight case of your word against mine.
那就是使他們困惑 你能說些什么呢? That would puzzle them, wouldn't it. What could you say?
我只要簡單的說你今晚半醉的 I should say that you came here tonight half-drunk and tried to borrow money...
到這來因為是大學同學的關系 on the strength that we were at college together.
向我借錢我拒絕時 你提起什么一封屬于我太太的信 When I refused, you said something about a letter belonging to my wife.
就我的了解你想把信賣給我 As far as I could make out, you tried to sell it to me.
我把所有的錢給了你 而你把信給了我 I gave you what money I had, and you gave me the letter.
信上有你的指紋 還記得嗎? It has your fingerprints on it, remember?
然后你說如果我到警察局去 Then you said if I went to the police...
而你告訴他們我要你去謀殺我太太的瘋狂故事 you'd tell some crazy story about my wanting you to murder my wife.
在你要更進一步說明時 老兄 Before you go any further, old boy,
可要考慮那是有不便之處的 do consider the inconvenience.
你要知道 我是相當有名氣的 You see, I'm quite well-known.
而報上也會有你的照片出現 There'd be pictures of you, as well.
而遲早女房東和房客的代表們 And sooner or later, there'd be a deputation of landladies and lodgers...
就會出現來對你的言行做證 who would step forward to testify to your character.
而幾乎可以確定總有人看過你跟華莉絲小姐在一起 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時不被看到 You were careful not to be seen around with her, I noticed.
你總和她 在遠離人群的地方見面 You usually met in out-of-the-way places...
在那里你才不會被人認出來 where you wouldn't be recognized.
諸如在賓里可的那家小茶坊 Like the little teashop in Pimlico.
那是她的主意 不是我的 That was her idea, not mine.
那地方有點寒酸 對不對? Yes, it was a bit crummy, wasn't it?
不是個可以 帶凡登太太去的地方 Hardly the place to take Mrs. Van Dorn.
還有 凡登太太知不知道關于亞當斯先生 By the way, does Mrs. Van Dorn know about Mr. Adams...
威爾遜先生...以及華莉絲小姐呢? and Mr. Wilson and Miss Wallace?
你打算跟凡登太太結婚吧? You were planning to marry Mrs. Van Dorn, weren't you?
-你真聰明 行了吧? -不是 -Smart, aren't you? -No, not really.
并不真是我只是有時間想 I've just had time to think things out...
把我自己放在你的處境 put myself in your position.
所以我才知道你會同意的原因 That's why I know you're going to agree.
-是什么使你認為我會同意呢? -和趕驢的道理一樣 -What makes you think I'll agree? -The same reason...
后面是棍子 前面是胡蘿卜 a donkey with a stick behind him and a carrot in front...
它就總是往前走 而不退后了 always goes forwards, not backwards.
告訴我胡蘿卜是什么 Tell me about the carrot.
現金一千英磅 One thousand pounds in cash.
-干一件謀殺案 -只要幾分鐘的工作 如此而己 -For a murder? -For a few minutes' work, that's all it is.
而且不用冒險 我保證 And no risk, I guarantee.
這該會對你有吸引力吧 That ought to appeal to you.
你可是如履薄冰啊 You've been skating on pretty thin ice.
-我不知道你在說什么 -你該知道的 -I don't know what you're talking about. -You ought to know.
所有的報上都有 中年婦女被發現死亡 It was in the papers, "Middle-aged woman...
由于用藥過量什么的 found dead due to an overdose of something."
顯然她用那藥有段日子了 She'd been taking the stuff for some time...
而誰也不知道她那藥的來源 and nobody knows where she got it.
可是我們知道 對不對? But we know, don't we?
可憐的華莉絲小姐 Poor Miss Wallace.
這個一千英磅... This £1000...
在那里呢? where is it?
在一個 寄物處的一個小手提箱里 It's in a small attache case in a checkroom.
-那里 -在倫敦的一個地方 -Where? -Somewhere in London.
當然 我們不用再見面了 Of course, we don't meet again.
等到你交了貨 As soon as you've delivered the goods...
我會把 存根和箱子的鑰匙寄給你 I shall mail you the checkroom ticket and the key to the case.
拿這一百英磅當作行動資金 You take this £100 on account.
警察可能會從這些鈔票上 The police would only have to trace one of these notes...
查出你我有關 而我們一起送辦嗎 back to you to hang us both from the same rope.
他們查不出來的 這一整年 我每周都多支領廿英磅 They won't. For a whole year, I've been cashing an extra £20 a week.
總是領五英磅的鈔票 Always in fivers.
并在我閑蝦時 再把鈔票換成舊鈔 I then change them for those at my leisure.
-讓我看看你的銀行帳目 -當然沒問題 -Might I see your bank statement? -By all means.
別碰 Don't touch.
往前翻一頁 Turn back a page.
這一年來 你的余額少了一千英磅 Your balance has dropped by over £1000 during the year.
如果警察問你這件事呢? Suppose the police ask you about that.
我每周期去賭兩次賽狗 I go dog-racing twice a week.
他們會去查收你賭注的人 They'll check your bookmaker.
跟你一樣 我總找通風的人下注 Like you, I always bet on the tout.
滿意了嗎? Satisfied?
你要我什么時候下手呢? When would this take place?
明天夜里 Tomorrow night.
明天夜里 絕對不可能 Tomorrow! Not a chance!
我得考慮這件事啊 I've got to think this over.
一定得在明天動手 It has to be tomorrow.
我已經把事情安排好了 I've arranged things that way.
在那里動手? Where?
差不多就在你現在站的地方 Approximately where you're standing now.
-怎么動手? -明天晚上哈利戴 -How? -Tomorrow evening, Halliday...
她那美國男友和我要去參加一個純男性的派對 the American boyfriend, and I will go out to a stag party.
她會待在家里 她會很早上床 She'll stay here.
并收聽周六的戲院無線電轉播 She'll go to bed early and listen to theater on the radio.
她在家時總是這么做的 She always does when I'm out.
在差三分十一點時 你從大門進到房子里來 At exactly three minutes to 11, you'll enter the house through the street door.
你會找到這個門的鑰匙 You'll find the key to this door...
在這里的樓梯地毯下面 under the stair carpet here.
-第五階 -就是那一階 -The fifth step. -That's the one.
直直走到窗戶這邊來 Go straight to the window...
藏身在窗簾后面 and hide behind the curtains.
十一點整時 我會到飯店電話亭 At exactly 11:00, I'll go to the telephone in the hotel...
去打電話給我老板 to call my boss.
我將撥錯號碼 這個號碼 I shall dial the wrong number, this number.
這是我所有我所要的 That's all I shall do.
等到電話鈴響的時候 你會從她臥房門下方看到燈亮 When the phone rings, you'll see the light go on under her bedroom door.
當她把門打開的時候 燈光就會照到這屋子里來 When she opens it, the light will stream across the room.
所以在她接電話前不要動 So don't move until she answers the phone.
必須要聲音越少越好 There must be as little noise as possible.
等你完事之后 把話筒拿起來 After you've finished...
輕輕的吹聲口哨 然后掛上 pick up the phone and give me a soft whistle and hang up.
不管你做了什么 什么也別說 Don't speak, whatever you do. I shan't say a word.
我什么也不會說 我聽了你口哨 When I hear your whistle, I shall hang up and redial...
我會掛上重撥 這次撥對的號碼 the correct number this time.
然后 我會像沒事發生和我老板談 I shall then talk to my boss as if nothing had happened
并且回到餐會去 and return to the party.
然后呢? 說下去呀 What happens next? Go on.
你會看到這放的行李箱 You'll see the suitcase here.
里面裝著我和清潔工的衣服 It contains clothes of mine for the cleaners.
把它打開 把衣服倒到地上 Open it and tip the clothes out onto the floor.
然后 把香煙盒和這些杯子裝進去 Then fill it with a cigarette box and some of these cups.
把箱蓋給蓋上 但是鎖別扣上 Close the lid, but don't snap the locks.
然后就把行李箱留在現在那里 Then leave the suitcase there, just as it is now.
看來我像匆忙的離去的 As if I'd left in a hurry.
沒錯 現在是窗戶了 That's the idea. Now, the window...
如果是扣上了 把它打開 并推開別關 If it's locked, unlock it and leave it open.
然后打你進來的原路出去 Then go out exactly the same way you came in.
-從這扇門出去 -沒錯 -By this door? -Yes.
這是最重要的事了 And here's the most important thing.
當你出去時把鑰匙放回原處 As you go out, return the key to the place where you found it.
-放在樓梯地毯上 -對了 -Under the stair carpet? -Yes.
那 到底真正發生了什么事呢? Yes, but what exactly is supposed to have happened?
他們會認為你從窗戶進來的 Well, they'll assume you came in by the window.
你以為這所公寓是空的 You thought the apartment was empty,
所以你拿了行李箱去裝東西 so you took the suitcase and went to work.
她聽見了什么聲音 She heard something.
她把她房里的燈打開了 She switched on her light.
你瞧見了門下的燈火 就躲到窗簾后面去了 You saw the light under the door and hid behind the curtains.
當她進到這屋里時 你就在她能叫喊前攻擊她了 When she came in here, you attacked her before she could scream.
當你了解了 你實際上是把她殺了 When you realized you'd actually killed her...
你慌張了 沖出院子留下了東西 you panicked, bolted through the garden and left the loot behind.
等一等 Just a minute.
我該是從這窗戶進來的 I'm supposed to have come in through these windows.
-假設窗戶是鎖上的呢? -那是沒有關系的 -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.
而她回來時 經常忘了把窗戶鎖上 And she usually forgets to lock up when she gets back.
這就是我要跟警察陳述的 That's what I shall tell the police.
沒錯 但是她可能會說... Yes, but she may say...
但是她什么也不會說了 對不對? But she isn't going to say anything. Is she?
好吧 All right.
我走出這間公寓 I leave the apartment.
我把鑰匙放回樓梯地毯下面 然后從大門出去 I put the key back under the stair carpet and go out by the street door.
假設大門上了鎖 Suppose the street door's locked.
-我怎么進來呢 -大門是從來都不鎖的 -How do I get in in the first place? -The street door is never locked.
-那你什么時候會回來呢? -大約十二點 -What time will you get back? -About 12.
我會帶哈利戴來 所以我們會一起發現她 I'll bring Halliday back for a nightcap. We'll find her together...
從我們離開她我們就在一起 and we shall have been together since we left her.
這就是我的不在現場證明 And there's my alibi.
-你忘了一件事 -什么事? -You've forgotten something. -What?
當你跟他姓什么的回來時 哈利戴 When you get back with what's-his-name, Halliday...
-你怎么進屋子來呢? -我自己開門進來呀 -how will you get in the apartment? -I shall let myself in.
可是 你的鑰匙會在樓梯地毯下呀 But your key will be under the stair carpet.
他會看見你拿 事情就砸了 He'll see you get it. It'll give the show away.
不會的 地毯下的不是我的鑰匙 No. It won't be my key under the carpet.
那會是她的鑰匙了 It will be hers.
我會從她皮包里摸出來 I shall take it from her handbag and hide it out there...
在我離家前把鑰匙藏在那的 just before I leave the flat.
她又不出去 所以不會發現的 She's not going out, so she won't miss it.
當我和哈利戴回來時 我會用我自己的鑰匙開門進來的 When I come back with Halliday, I'll use my own key to let us in.
然后當他到院子里去找什么時 Then, while he's out searching the garden or something...
我就會從地毯下拿出鑰匙來 并在警察來到之前 l'll take the key from under the carpet and return it to her bag...
-把鑰匙放回她的皮包里去 -這扇門有幾把鑰匙? -before the police arrive. -How many keys are there to this door?
只有她的和我的 Just hers and mine.
-梅維區499號 -東尼 是我 -Mavel Z4-double-9. -Tony, it's me.
哈? 親愛的 節目怎么樣 Hello, darling. How's it going?
棒極了 非常動人 Wonderfully. It's really a dreadful play.
我們都很喜歡 We're enjoying every minute.
我很難過 我是說我很高興 I'm sorry. I mean, I'm glad.
-你會來跟我們會合吧? -我想不成 -You will join us, won't you? -I don't think so.
我還沒開始工作呢 I hardly seem to have started.
親愛的 等一下 我想門口有人 Darling, just a moment. I think there's someone at the door.
臥室窗外有人會看見你的 You can be seen from the bedroom window.
抱歉 親愛的 叫錯門了 Sorry, darling. False alarm.
你何不帶馬克到杰利俱樂部去呢 Look, why don't you take Mark to Gerry's.
-我們怎么進去? -只要說我的姓名就行了 -How do we get in? -Well, just mention my name.
我不知道樂隊怎樣 但是菜肴很好 I don't know about the band, but the food's good.
還有 你走之后摩韻打電話來 By the way, Maureen called after you left...
約咱們星期三去吃晚飯 and wants us for dinner on Wednesday.
可是你的記事本上星期三有寫字 You've got something in your diary for Wednesday,
而我看不出來你寫的是什么 and I can't read it.
看來像是阿爾?本多 Looks like "Al Bentall."
他是誰? 你的另一個男朋友? Who's he, another one of your boyfriends?
阿伯特大廳 你這白癡 Albert Hall, you idiot.
阿伯特大廳 當然 The Albert Hall, of course.
我好高興咱們不用去摩韻家 I'm so glad we don't have to go to Maureen's.
-真是個差勁的廚房 -我得走了 -She's such a filthy cook. -Well, there's the bell. I must fly.
好的 親愛的 好好玩吧 All right, dear. Enjoy yourself.
東尼 馬丁尼里別加太多水 Tony, don't make that martini too watery.
那印度王子的照片在那里呢? Now, where's the picture of the maharajah?
親愛的 你什么時候才能把這些剪報帖好啊? When are you going to finish pasting in those clippings?
總有一天吧 I shall find time one of these days.
在這里了 這就是印度王子 Here it is. This is the maharajah.
-他很迷人吧 -他有四輛勞斯萊斯和足夠的珠寶 -Isn't he dreamy? -He had four Rolls-Royces and jewels...
而他真正想的是打溫布頓杯 to sink a battleship, but all he wanted was to play at Wimbledon.
那可憐蟲 近視得球拍頭 The poor darling was so shortsighted, he could barely see the end of the racket...
-都看不見 -你知道 你該... -let alone the ball. -You should...
東尼 謝謝 Thanks, Tony.
你該寫一本關于這一切的書的 You should write a book about all this.
你們兩個人為什么不合寫一本涉及網球的偵探小說? Why don't you two collaborate, a detective novel with a tennis background.
怎樣? 馬克 你能提供我 What about it, Mark? You provide me...
-一個完美的謀殺案嗎 -沒有比這件事我更愛的了 -with the perfect murder. -Nothing I'd like better.
你是怎么寫偵探小說的呢? How do you go about writing a detective story?
你得忘記偵探而集中在犯罪上 犯罪才是重點 You forget detection and concentrate on crime. Crime's the thing.
然后你再想像去偷什么或是謀殺什么人 You imagine you're gonna steal something or murder somebody.
是這樣的嗎 真有意思 Is that how you do it? Interesting.
對 我總是把自己想成是罪犯 然后我不停的自問 I usually put myself in the criminal's shoes and I keep asking myself:
下一步要怎樣 "What do I do next?"
你真的相信 有完美的謀殺案嗎? Do you really believe in the perfect murder?
相信 完全相信我是說紙上談兵 Yes, absolutely. On paper, that is.
而我想 我可以比多數人計劃得好 I think I could plan one better than most people...
不過我懷疑 我能把計劃付諸實施 but I doubt I could carry it out.
為什么不能呢? Oh? Why not?
因為故事是照作者想的發展 In stories, things turn out the way the author wants.
而在真實生活中可就不是了 總是如此 And in real life, they don't always.
我怕我的謀殺案會像我打橋牌 No. I'm afraid my murders would be like my bridge:
我犯了一些愚笨的錯誤 I'd make a mistake and never realize it...
-而從不知道大家都在看我出丑 -馬克 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 -我們何不開車 -Nothing. -Why don't we drive...
-去溫莎吃午餐呢? -好主意 -to Windsor for lunch. -That's a good idea.
早點來 但別太早 Come along early, but not too early.
-我們可以能會宿醉 -十一點行吧 -We may be nursing a hangover. -How about 11?
-行 -我們可以在國王頭上吃午餐 -Fine. -We can have lunch at the Kings Head.
-這樣做在溫莎對嗎? -不是 只是在外面 -Is that right in Windsor? -No, it's just outside.
親愛的 你有借我的鑰匙嗎? 我到處都找不到 Did I lend you my latchkey? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
我不知道 也許兩支都在我皮包里 I don't know. I may have them both in my handbag.
我去看看就知道了 I'll just look.
沒有 我這里只有一支 No. I've only got one here.
你確定你的沒有在你大衣里嗎? Are you sure yours isn't in your overcoat?
沒有 我找過了 你的借我好嗎 No, I've looked. May I borrow yours?
-那可不太方便 -為什么呢? -Well, that's a bit awkward. -Why?
我可能想要出去呢 I may want to go out.
今晚? Tonight?
我想我可能去看場電影什么的 Yes, I thought I might go to a movie.
你何不聽無線電 周六夜轉播呢? What about the radio? Saturday Night Theatre?
不要 是恐怖劇 我一個人時不愛聽恐怖劇 Oh, no. It's a thriller. I don't like thrillers when I'm alone.
-我知道了 -反正我會先到家 -I see. -In any case, I'll be back...
可以給你們開門 before you, so I can let you in.
可是我們要過了午夜后才回來 那時你可能已經睡著了 But we won't be back until after midnight. You may be asleep by then.
你反正可以 把鑰匙放在鞋墊下面 You can always put your key under the proverbial mat.
沒事了 鑰匙在我手套里 It's all right. Here it is. It was in my glove all the time.
那好 這就解決問題了 Well, that settles that.
你要去看那場電影呢? What movie are you going to?
我希望是去看經典名片 The classic, I expect.
-你進得了場嗎? 星期六晚上? -我總可以試試 -Will you get in? Saturday night? -I can always try.
-可是 親愛的 -別讓我待在家里 -But, darling... -Now, don't make me stay home.
我討厭無所事事 You know I hate doing nothing.
無所事事? 你有上百件事可做 Doing nothing? There are hundreds of things to do.
你給佩姬寫信 謝她的周末招待嗎 Write Peggy, thanking her for the weekend.
還有那些剪報要怎么辦呢? 這是個理想的機會 And what about those clippings? It's an ideal opportunity.
是呀 我可是喜歡 你們去做樂 Well, I like that. You two go gallivanting...
而我待在家里 弄那些乏味的剪報 while I stay home and do those boring clippings.
-那好 我們就不去吧 -這話怎么講 -Very well. We won't go. -What do you mean?
那很顯然 如果你不愿意我們今晚出去 It's obvious you don't want us to go, so we won't.
我們就留下來陪你 We'll stay here with you.
我們玩牌吧 What shall we do, play cards?
東尼 親愛的 Tony, darling...
我最好打電話去說我們不去了 I'll call the Grendon and tell them we're not coming.
東尼 拜托 別那么孩子氣嘛 Tony, please, let's not be childish about this.
好嘛 我整理你的剪報就是 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.
我想我去叫計程車 I think I'll try and scare up a taxi.
咱們有漿糊嗎? Have we any paste?
有的 在書桌上有一些 Yes, there's some in the desk, I believe.
-你需要一把剪刀 -就在我針線盒里 -You need some scissors. -They're in my mending basket.
我的皮包 Hey, you leave my bag alone.
-你要多少? -我們看看你有多少錢 -How much do you need? -Let's see how much you've got.
-放手 -反正你還欠我十先令呢 -You put that down. -You owe me 10 bob anyway.
-干嘛的 -我給佩姬... -Why? -I paid that package...
禮盒的錢 謝她幫我們理家的 you sent Peggy. That comes out of housekeeping.
我來拿 現在把你的手拿開 Let me get it, then. Keep your hands off.
現在 你要多少錢? There, now. How much do you want?
我有3 5 7和6便士 I've got 3, 5, 7 and a sixpence.
-夠付來回的車錢了 -但你還是帶些錢去 -It ought to get us there and back. -But you'd better take something.
-晚餐多少錢 -已經給了 連小費在內 -How much are dinner tickets? -Paid for, tip included.
要是我錢不夠 馬克可以付的 If I run short, Mark will help out.
計程車來了 Taxi's here.
東尼 你還算什么呢? Tony, what are you waiting for?
-沒什么 親愛的 -瑪歌 再見 -Nothing, dear. -Good night, Margot.
你們什么時候回家呢? What time will you get home?
我想大約十二點 我會帶馬克回來喝一杯的 About 12. I'll bring Mark back for a nightcap.
-你會醒著嗎 -我會睡得很沉的 -Will you be up? -I shall be fast asleep...
-我可不要被吵 -我們會跟老鼠一樣安靜 -and I don't want to be disturbed. -We shall be quiet.
-再見... -再見 -Good night. -Good night.
-瑪歌 -在 -Margot. -Yes.
很可能柏吉斯那老頭會來電話 You know it's possible old man Burgess might call.
你告訴他我們在得倫頓飯店 可能有重要的事 Tell him we're at the Grendon. It may be important.
-電話號碼呢 -在本子上 -What's the number? -It's in the book.
好的 All right.
再見 親愛的 Goodbye, dear.
走吧 馬克 All right, Mark.
我是住在達特摩的托貝飯店 你知道達特摩嗎? I'm staying at the Torbay Hotel. You know the hotel in Dartmoor?
托貝飯店并不就在達特摩 而是在那一地區 Well, it's not exactly in Dartmoor, but sort of in the district.
反正你明白 這故事的重點是那是涉及到達特摩監獄的 Anyway, the whole point of this story is that it concerns Dartmoor Prison.
總之 我還是住了托貝飯店 然后一天去了飯店酒吧 I was staying at the Torbay Hotel, as I was saying, I went to the bar...
所以我就轉對那家伙說 你愿意加入我們嗎? I turned to him and said, "What are you doing here?"
還說...我是推銷員 He says, "I'm a commercial traveler.
我賣農業機械... I sell agricultural machinery." I said...
容我插嘴 那有正確時刻? Would any of you fellows have the right time?
有 我有...十一點過七分 Yes, I have seven minutes past 11.
-我的表是剛過十一點 -我的表停了 -I make it only just after 11. -My watch has stopped.
-我一定是上太緊了 -所以 就如我所說的... -I must have overwound it. -As I was saying...
抱歉 老兄 我得給老板打電話 Excuse me, old boy. I have to call my boss.
農業機械... Agricultural machinery...

-瑪歌 -是那位? -Margot? -Who's there?

東尼 東尼 感謝上帝 Oh, Tony. Tony, thank God.
立刻回來 Come back at once.

-怎么回事? -一個男人攻擊我 -What is it? -A man attacked me.
-想要勒死我 -他逃走了沒有? -Tried to strangle me. -Did he get away?
沒有 他死了 No. He's dead.
東尼 你還在聽嗎? Tony, are you still there?
-瑪歌 -怎樣? -Margot. -Yes?
現在 留心聽我說 Now, listen very carefully.
好的 我正在聽 Yes. I'm listening.
別碰任何東西 我馬上就回去 Don't touch anything. I'll be with you right away.
-好的 我不會碰任何東西的 -別碰任何東西 -No. No, I won't. -Don't touch anything...
也別跟誰說什么 等我回來再說 and don't speak to anybody until I get there.
好的 我不碰任何東西的 No, I won't touch anything.
-你保證? -是的 我保證 -You promise? -Yes, I promise.
只是請快回來 Tony, please be quick.
我就坐在同一個吧臺上 I'm sitting at the same bar,
我看到同一個人也在不遠 and I see the same man standing at the end of the...
而他向我走過來并且說... He came to me and said...
不...請坐下 我得先告辭了 No, do sit down. I have to run along.
是瑪歌 她覺得不太舒服 Margot's not feeling too well.
-嚴重嗎 -沒什么嚴重的 -Serious? -Nothing serious.
-你留下 -我跟你去 -You stay and enjoy yourself. -I'll come.
不用 沒有關系 No. It's perfectly all right.
他買了干馬提尼酒 with which he was buying me dry martinis...
東尼... Tony! Oh, Tony.
別怕 親愛的 別怕 發生什么事了? It's all right, darling. It's all right. What happened?
他圍了什么在我頸子上要勒死我 He put something around my throat.
-我覺得像是絲襪 -真的嗎? 讓我看看 -It felt like a stocking. -Are you sure? Let me see.
我起來接電話 而他從窗簾后面走了出來 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.
我幾乎昏了過去 我... I almost passed out.
我摸到了剪刀刺了他... I felt the scissors in my hands...
他就放開我倒到地板上了 and then he let go suddenly, and he fell on the floor.
沒有流什么血呀 There's hardly any blood.
當他倒下時 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 我的阿斯匹靈 Here they are, my aspirin.
我頭疼得要命 I've got such an awful head...
怎么了? What is it?
我最好去拿床毯子來 I'd better get a blanket.
請把窗戶給關上 Shut the window, please.
不行 在警察來之前 我們什么都不能碰 No. We mustn't touch anything until the police arrive.
他偷偷進來 我不知道他是來干嘛的 He must've broken in. I wonder what he was after.
-我懷疑是那些獎杯 -警察什么時候會到這呢? -Those cups, I expect. -When will the police get here?
-你已經通知他們了 -沒有 -Have you called them already? -No.
你告訴我別跟任何人說話的 You told me not to speak to anyone.
你現在最好給他們打電話吧 Hadn't you better call them now?
是的 Yes.
-馬克呢 -我叫他直接回家去 -Where's Mark? -I told him to go straight home.
-接線生 -接線生 -Operator. -Hello, operator...
-請快接梅維區警察分局 -你有告訴他嗎 -get me the Maida Vale Police. -Did you tell him?
我不知道發生了什么 我只說你不舒服 I didn't know what had happened. I said that you weren't well.
梅維區警分局 Maida Vale Police.
警分局 有件恐怖的意外 Police? There's been a ghastly accident.
-是的 先生 -有人被殺死了 -Yes, sir? -A man has been killed.
-貴姓? 先生 -溫地斯 -Your name, sir? -Wendice.
-是兩個S嗎 -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?
嘉倫頓公園路61A 一樓公寓 61 A Charrington Gardens, Ground-floor apartment.
-是一件意外事件嗎? -我也不知道 -Was it an accident? -I don't know.
先生 你說不知道是什么意思? What do you mean, you don't know?
你想他是被什么人殺死的? Do you think he might have been killed by someone?
我不知道 I don't know.
你知道是誰干的嗎 Have you any idea who might have done it?
等你們到了我會說明的 要多久呢 I'll explain when you come. How long will it take?
-大約兩分鐘 -兩分鐘 -About two minutes. -Two minutes.
還有 什么也別碰 And don't touch anything, will you, sir?
好 我們什么也不會碰的 再見 No, we won't touch anything. Goodbye.
-我去穿衣服 -為什么呢? -I'll get dressed. -Why?
-他們會要看我的 -他們不會要看你的 -They'll want to see me. -They're not going to see you.
但是他們必得有問題要問我呀 But they'll ask me questions.
等明天 我會告訴他們要的一切 We'll wait until tomorrow. I'll tell them all they need to know.
-東尼 -怎樣? -Tony? -Yes?
-你為什么要我打電話呢? -什么? -Why did you phone me? -What?
抱歉 親愛的 這事我稍晚再告訴你 I'm sorry, darling, I'll tell you about that later.
我才想到了什么 I just thought of something.
你說他用絲襪 You said he used a stocking?
我想是只絲襪或是條圍巾 I think it was a stocking or a scarf.
-沒有在那邊嗎 -沒有 我想他們會找到的 -Isn't it there? -No, but I expect they'll find it.
現在 你上床去吧 Now you go on to bed.
各位 茶泡好了 Tea, gentlemen?
警佐 看另一只絲襪 Sergeant. Look. It's the other stocking.
好啦 讓開吧 大家走啊 All right. Break it up. Let's get moving on.
幾乎空了 提醒我去多買些來 Almost empty. Remind me to get some more.
當我們需要時 總是用光了 It always runs out just when we need it.
聽我說 在我忘記之前 警佐要知道你 Look, before I forget, the sergeant wanted to know...
為何沒有立刻報警 why you didn't phone the police immediately.
-我怎能報警呢? 你在電話上啊 -我知道 但 -How could I? You were... -I know, but...
你明確的告訴我在你回來之前 You distinctly told me not to speak to anyone...
-別跟任何人說話 -親愛的 我知道 -until you got here. -I know...
我跟他說的不一樣 but I told him a slightly different story.
-為什么呢? -我說你沒有打電話給警察 -Why? -Well, I said you didn't phone the police...
因為你認為我去飯店打電話 because you naturally assumed that I would do it from the hotel.
你為什么要這么說呢? Why did you say that?
因為 這是合理的解釋而他接受了 Because it was the perfectly logical explanation, and he accepted it.
現在 如果他們認為我們延遲報案 Now, if they get the idea that we delayed reporting it...
他們可能會追問 而問好多問題 they might get nosy and ask all sorts of questions.
-所以你要我跟你說的一樣? -親愛的 我想是的 -You want me to say the same thing? -I think so...
若再提的話 in case it comes up again.
一定是馬克 你去給他開門吧 That will be Mark. Would you let him in?
-早安 夫人 -早安 -Good morning, madam. -Good morning.
-溫地斯太太 -是的 -Mrs. Wendice? -Yes.
我是警官 我可以進去嗎? I'm a police officer. May I come in?
當然可以 Of course.
失陪 我去告訴我先生你來了 Excuse me. I'll just tell my husband you're here.
謝謝你 Thank you.
-早安 -先生 早安 -Good morning. -Good morning, sir.
我是哈伯探長 I'm Chief Inspector Hubbard,
專司調查刑事案件 in charge of Criminal Investigation of this division.
我想 我們給了你的警佐整個案情 I think we gave your sergeant all the information.
沒錯 我當然看了他的報告了 Yes. I've seen his report, of course...
不過還是有幾件事 我想親自問清楚些 but there are a few things I'd like to get firsthand.
溫地斯太太 我知道警佐只看了你一下 對吧? 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...
驚嚇中 from considerable shock.
是啊 這是你有過的很糟的經歷 Yes, that was a very nasty experience you had.
你不介意我四處看看吧? Mind if I take a look around?
請便 臥室和浴室往這邊走 Go ahead. The bedroom and bathroom are through here.
他當然不是從浴室進來的 He certainly didn't get in by the bathroom.
而廚房窗戶是有鐵欄的 And the kitchen has bars on the window.
如果我們假設他必定是從這的窗戶進來的 We assume he must have come in through these windows here.
我了解此事發生時你不在家 I understand you weren't here when this happened.
沒錯 我在倫頓飯店參加晚宴 No, I was at a dinner party at the Grendon Hotel...
由于巧合 事實上在我太太受攻擊時 正打電話給她 and by coincidence, I was phoning my wife when she was attacked.
我知道 So I gather.
你知道確實的時間嗎? Can you tell me exactly what time it was?
不 我怕我沒辦法 我確實記得我的表停了 No, I'm afraid I can't. I do remember my watch had stopped.
溫地斯太太 你有注意到嗎? Did you notice, Mrs. Wendice?
-沒有 我沒注意 -探長 請坐 -No, I didn't. -Won't you sit down, inspector.
謝謝你 Why, thank you.
你知道他是什么人嗎? Have you any idea who he was?
知道 至少我們找到了他的住處 Yes. At least, we've discovered where he lived.
對于他的真實姓名還沒弄清楚 There still seems to be some confusion as to his real name.
他有好幾個姓名 He appeared to have several.
你以前見過他嗎? Had you ever seen him before?
沒有 當然沒有見過 Why, no, of course not.
-對 這就是他 -沒錯 -Is this him? -Yes.
你不認識他嗎? You don't recognize him?
不認識 我從未看過他 No, I never saw him.
但是你連他的臉都沒看一眼嗎 But didn't you even catch a glimpse of his face?
沒有 他是從我背后攻擊我的 No. You see, he attacked me from behind, and it was dark.
又很暗 我根本沒看到他 I hardly saw him at all.
是的 在我給你看這些照片之前 Yes, but before I showed you these photographs...
你說你從未見過他 you said you'd never seen him before.
如果昨晚從未看他的臉 你怎會知道是他呢 How could you know that if you never saw his face last night?
我不太懂你的意思 探長 I don't quite understand.
我太太只是要說 就她所知 Inspector, my wife simply means that as far as she knew...
她以前從未見過他 she never saw him before.
-這是你要說的嗎 -是的 -Was that what you meant? -Yes.
那你呢 先生 你以前見過他嗎 Now, how about you, sir? Had you ever seen him before?
沒有 No.
-沒有 至少... -怎樣? -No, at least... -Yes?
像我上大學時的某個同學 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.
-是姓李斯蓋特的 -不是 -Was it Lesgate? -No.
-威爾遜 -不是 -Wilson? -No.
-史望 -不... -Swan? -N...
史望 Swan.
等一下 史望 對了 就是他 Wait a minute. Swan. Yes, that's it.
這是我們大學同學會照的舊照片 我們上同一所大學 Here's an old photo taken at a reunion. We were at the same college.
他就在那 真是不可思議 There he is there. Why, it's unbelievable.
-你跟他熟嗎 -不熟 他是我的學長 -Did you know him well? -No. He was senior to me.
-后來你見過他嗎 -沒有 至少... -Have you met him since then? -No, at least...
對了 我最近看到過他 Come to think of it, I did see him quite recently.
-但是沒有說話 -是什么時候 -But not to speak to. -When was that?
大約六個月前 在維多利亞火車站 Six months ago, at a railway station.
我記得我注意到他沒什么改變 Victoria, I think. I remember noticing how little he'd changed.
先生 他那時留了胡子了嗎 Had he a mustache then, sir?
沒有 No.
溫地斯太太 你可以告訴我昨夜事情發生的經過嗎? Mrs. Wendice, would you show me exactly what happened last night?
-東尼 我非得這樣嗎? -親愛的 我怕是的 -Tony, do I have to? -I'm afraid so, darling.
電話鈴響時 我人在床上 I was in bed when the phone rang.
然后我就起來 到這來 And I got up, and I came in here.
-你有開這個燈嗎 -沒有 -Did you switch this light on? -No.
告訴我你確實的位置 Just show me exactly where you were standing.
我站在這 然后我拿起了話筒 I stood here, and I picked up the phone.
等一下 你確定 你是像這樣 Just one moment. Are you sure you had your back...
-背對窗戶嗎? -確定 -to the window like that? -Yes.
-但是為什么呢? -為什么不呢? -But why? -Why not?
我是說為什么走過書桌去 I mean, why go around the desk?
換我會從這一邊接 I should have picked it up from this side.
我總是在這里接電話的 But I always answer the phone from here.
但是 為什么呢 總之 But why?
要是我得寫下什么來的話 我可以用左手拿著話筒 In case I have to write anything down, I can hold the phone in my left hand.
我懂了 抱歉 繼續吧 I see, yes. I'm sorry. Go on.
當我拿起話筒時 When I picked up the phone...
他一定是從那些窗簾后面來 并且攻擊我 he must have come from behind those curtains and attacked me.
-他在我頸部圍了件東西 -東西? -He got something around my neck. -Something?
你說東西是什么意思 What do you mean?
我想是一只絲襪 I think it was a stocking.
我懂了 然后又怎樣了呢? I see. And what happened then?
然后他把我推過了書桌 Well, then he pushed me across the desk.
我很清楚記得摸索那把剪刀 I remember feeling for the scissors.
剪刀平常是放在那的? Where were those scissors usually kept?
在那針線盒里 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 他是從窗簾后出來的 Now, what makes you think he came from behind those curtains?
-不然從哪呢 -窗簾是拉上 -Where else could he have been? -The curtains were drawn?
-對 是拉上的 -是你自己拉的? -They were. -Did you draw them?
不是 探長 是我出門前拉上的 No, inspector, I drew them just before I went out.
-你同時也扣上了窗戶嗎 -是的 -Did you lock the window at the same time? -Yes.
-你很確定嗎 -非常確定 -Are you quite sure of that, sir? -Perfectly sure.
我拉窗簾時總是鎖上窗戶的 I always lock up when I draw the curtains.
那他怎么進屋來的 How do you suppose he got in?
我們認為他破門而入 We assume that he broke in.
但是沒有破門而入的跡像 There's no sign of a break-in.
我們的報告顯示鎖沒有被破壞 Our report shows the lock's quite undamaged.
溫地斯太太 Mrs. Wendice...
在這件事發生之后 你為什么沒有立刻報警呢? why didn't you call the police immediately this happened?
我正想打電話給警方 I was trying to call to the police...
但發現我先生正在線上 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...
-他會從飯店打電話給警方 -你有想過找醫生來嗎? -before he came here. -Didn't it occur to you to call a doctor?
-沒有 -為什么呢 -No. -Why ever not?
-他已經死了 -你怎么知道他死了 -He was dead. -How did you know that?
我... I...
-那是顯然的 -你有按他的脈博嗎 -It was obvious. -Did you feel his pulse?
沒有 我當然沒有 No. Of course I didn't.
誰都會知道他死了 Anyone would have realized he was dead.
只要看那對瞪著的眼睛就行了 Just one look at those staring eyes...
所以 你必竟看了他的臉了 So you did see his face after all.
我看到他的眼不記得他的臉了 I saw his eyes! I can't remember his face!
探長 我太太顯然沒見過這個人 Inspector, my wife obviously had never seen this man before.
不是從那窗戶進來 他怎么進來? And if he didn't come in by those windows, how did he get in?
事實上 我們十分肯定他是從這扇門進來的 As a matter of fact, we're quite certain that he came in by this door.
但那門是鎖著的 But it was locked.
瑪歌? 我們走了之后你開過門嗎 Margot, did you open that door at all after we'd gone?
-沒有 -一共有幾把鑰匙呢? -No. -How many keys are there to this door, sir?
只有兩把 我的在我皮包里 你帶著你的 Only two. Mine was in my handbag, and you had yours with you.
對 沒錯 Yes, that's right.
-管理員有鑰匙嗎 -沒有 -Has the caretaker got a key? -No.
你有雇清潔婦嗎? Do you employ a charwoman?
有雇 但她也沒有鑰匙 Yes, but she hasn't got one either.
當她來時 我總是在家的 I'm always here when she comes.
是什么使你們認為 他從這進來的 What makes you think he came in this way?
-他的鞋 -他的鞋? -His shoes. -His shoes?
昨夜地面是濕的 The ground was soaking wet last night.
如果他是從院子進來的 他會在地毯上留下腳印 And if he'd come in by the garden, he'd have left mud all over the carpet.
實際上他一個腳印也沒留下 As it is, he didn't leave any marks at all...
因為他在前門墊上擦過鞋 because he wiped his shoes on the front doormat.
-你怎么知道 -那門墊還很新 -How can you tell? -It's a fairly new mat...
有些纖維還在他的鞋上 and some of its fibers came off on his shoes.
-但 的確 -門墊上留有柏油 -But surely... -And there was a small tar stain...
有些纖維上也看得出來 on the mat, and some of the fibers show that as well.
那是毫無疑問的 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.
記得你的皮包被偷時 Remember when your bag was stolen?
-記得 -那鑰匙在皮包里嗎? -Yes. -Wasn't the key inside?
是的 但我皮包找到時鑰匙還在 Yes, but it was still there when I got it back.
等等 我倒想聽聽這件事 Now, just a moment. I'd like to hear about this.
-是什么樣子的皮包 -是手提包 探長 -What sort of bag? -A handbag, inspector.
我太太在維多利亞車站掉的 My wife lost it at Victoria Station.
但我兩周后 在失物招領處找到了 But I got it back from the lost and found two weeks later.
-有什么東西不見了嗎? -所有的錢都不見了 -Was anything missing? -All the money was gone.
-其他的呢? -沒有 -Anything else? -No.
-我是說文件或是書信 -沒有 -No papers or letters? -No.
-你確定嗎? -確定 -Are you quite sure about that? -Yes.
你皮包遺失時 鑰匙在皮包里? And your latchkey was in your handbag when you lost it?
是的 但皮包找到時鑰匙還在 Yes, but it was still there when it was returned.
用那些偷的錢 可以復制一把鑰匙 But whoever stole the money could have copied the key.
最后皮包是在那里找到的呢? Where was the bag found eventually?
在維多利亞車站 At Victoria Station.
先生 你說你在那兒看過這個人 Wasn't that where you said you saw this man, sir?
你是什么時候掉的皮包? When did you lose the bag?
是不是 我們去看佩姬的那個周末 Wasn't it that weekend we went to visit Peggy?
沒錯 我想起來了 Yes, it was. I remember now.
他就坐在餐廳 He was sitting in the restaurant.
-你的皮包是在餐廳掉的 -沒錯 -Was that where you left your bag? -Yes...
我不是提過有個大學同學嗎 and didn't I say something about, "There's someone from college"?
-我不記得了 -那就是他怎么進來的 -I don't remember. -That's how he got in.
他復制了一把 原來的放回皮包 He made a duplicate and returned the original to the bag.
在你再往下說之前他怎么進大門的呢? Before you go any further with this, how did he get in through the street door?
-大門是從來都不上鎖的 -我明白了 -The street door is never locked. -I see.
他...他可能復制了你的鑰匙 Well, he could have had your key copied.
而他可能用那把鑰匙開門 And he could have used it to open the door.
但是 當然 他沒有用 But, of course, he didn't.
-為什么呢 -因為要是他用了 -Why not? -Because if he had...
他死時鑰匙應該還在他身上 the key would still have been on him when he died.
但是我們翻他口袋 沒有發現鑰匙 But no key was found when we went through his pockets.
看來咱們又回到開始時了吧? We seem to be back just where we started.
那也不見得 Well, not quite.
那他是怎么進來的呢? Well, then how did he get in?
咱們最好把這些都寫在紙上 We'd better get all this down on paper.
我要兩位在審訊前 做正式的筆錄 I'd like you both to make an official statement before the inquest.
我的辦公室 離這里只有幾分鐘路 My office is only moments from here.
也許你們現在就可以來 Perhaps you could come now.
-東尼 瑪歌 -馬克 這位是哈伯探長 -Tony. Marg... -Mark, this is Inspector Hubbard.
-探長 這位是馬克?哈利戴 -他昨夜和我在一起 -Inspector, this is Mark Halliday. -He was with me last night.
-探長 你好 -哈利戴先生 -How do you do? -Mr. Halliday.
你昨夜和溫地斯先生在一起 你也許可以幫上點忙 As you were with Mr. Wendice last night, you may help us.
你記得 他去打電話時是幾點嗎? Now, did you notice what time it was he went to the phone?
記得 正好是十一點過三分 Yes. Matter of fact, it was three minutes after 11.
你怎么會去注意這事呢? How did you come to notice that?
溫地斯先生的表停了 我們有些人在比對時間 Mr. Wendice's watch had stopped. Some of us compared times.
謝謝 你要知道 就是溫地斯太太 Thank you. See, it was when Mrs. Wendice came in here...
過來接電話時 她受到了攻擊 to answer his call that she was attacked.
你是在給你老板電話之前還是之后給瑪歌打的電話? Did you phone Margot before or after your boss?
馬克 我正要問你呢 Tony, I know what I wanted to ask you.
你昨夜為什么打電話給我? Why did you telephone me last night?
等等 別讓我忘了這條線索 Now, just one moment, before I lose the thread of this.
在11點過3分 你從宴會出來去給老板打電話 Now, at three minutes past 11, you left your party to phone your boss.
對 我用大廳里的公共電話 Yes, I used the lobby pay phone.
你跟你的老板談了多久 How long were you on the phone to your boss...
在你給尊夫人打電話之前呢? before you called your wife?
事實上我根本沒跟他談話 I never did speak to him.
我忘了他的鄉間電話了 I couldn't remember his number
所以我打電話給我太太來問 so I rang my wife to look it up in the address book.
你是你弄醒我就為了問他電話 You mean, you hauled me out of bed to get his number?
親愛的 我必須這樣 我老板今早要飛到布魯塞爾 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.
飯店里沒有電話簿嗎? Wasn't there a directory in the hotel?
有 但沒有登錄他鄉間的電話 Yes, but his country number wouldn't be in that directory.
-你給他打電話了嗎 -沒有 -And did you phone him? -Oh, no.
自然沒有 當我聽到這里的事 When I heard what happened here...
-我把那件事全都給忘記了 -是呀 -I forgot all about it. -Yes.
哈利戴先生 溫地斯先生 太太 Mr. Halliday, Mr. and Mrs. Wendice are coming...
現在來我辦公室 來做他們的筆錄 to my office now to make their statements.
你能把你的地址給我嗎? 以便我要和你連絡 Would you give me your address, sir? I may want to get in touch.
-當然 -我去拿大衣 -Certainly. -I'll just get my coat.
-我住在卡菲飯店 -就寫在這上面行嗎? -I'm staying at Carfax Hotel. -Just write it down there, will you?
把你的電話號碼也寫上 Your telephone number as well.
-先生 你以前來過這嗎? -來過 大約在一年前 -You ever been over here before, sir? -Yes. Yes, about a year ago.
-寫好了 -謝謝你 -There you are, sir. -Thank you.
溫地斯先生 房子前有一群人 Mr. Wendice, there's quite a crowd in front of the house.
我建議咱們從院子出去 I was going to suggest we left by the garden.
-門是不是在另外一頭 -沒錯 -Isn't there a gate at the far end? -Yes.
我怕可能鎖了 The gate may be locked.
-你去看看好嗎 -當然好 -Would you mind taking a look, sir? -Certainly.
他對你和溫太太的事 知道多少? How much does he know about you and Mrs. Wendice?
-你說什么? -你從紐約給溫太太 -I beg your pardon? -You wrote a letter to Mrs. Wendice...
寫了封信 那封信就在死者的口袋里 from New York. It was found in the dead man's inside pocket.
我沒有提 因為我不能肯定溫先生對這事知道多少 I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure how much Mr. Wendice knew.
你知道信是怎么會在那人口袋里 Have you any idea how it got there?
不知道 No.
-東尼呢 -他在院子里 -Where's Tony? -He's just gone into the garden.
溫太太 當你皮包掉了時 Mrs. Wendice, when you lost your handbag...
-你是不是也掉了一封信? -沒有 -did you lose a letter as well? -No.
瑪歌 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 對嗎? You did lose it, didn't you?
是的 我是掉了信 Yes, I did.
我原來問過你的 對嗎? I asked you that before, didn't I?
是的 但我丈夫不知道這件事 Yes, but you see, my husband didn't know about it.
這個人是否在勒索你呢? This man was blackmailing you, wasn't he?
瑪歌 東尼一定得知道這件事 It's no good. Tony will have to know.
-不要 -我們唯一能做的事 -No. -It's the only thing we can do.
溫太太掉了我的信之后 After Mrs. Wendice lost my letter...
她收到了這兩張便條 she received these two notes.
去年十月... Last October?
你看過這個人多少次? How many times have you seen this man?
我從來就沒有看過他 I've never seen him!
-哈利戴先生 我要你跟我們來 -好的 當然 -Mr. Halliday, come with us. -Yes, of course.
溫太太 Mrs. Wendice...
當你來做筆錄時 when you make your statement...
也許還有別的警官在場 there may be other police officers present.
我要先警告你 你說的任何話 I shall warn you first that anything you say...
都會被記下來并被用來當證據 will be taken down and may be used in evidence.
現在別管你告訴了我什么 Now never mind what you've told me so far.
我們先暫時忘掉吧 We'll forget all about that.
但是從現在起要告訴我們 你對這個男人確實知道什么 But from now on, tell us exactly what you know about this man...
以及昨夜確實發生的事 and exactly what happened last night.
如果你想隱瞞任何事 If you try and conceal anything at all...
那可是對你非常不利的 it may put you in a very serious position.
我希望你能說明這些話的意思 I wish you'd explain what you mean by this.
我會的 I will.
現在你承認你殺了此人 Now, do you admit that you killed this man?
而你會說你是出于自衛吧? Well, you say you did it in self-defense.
不幸的是 沒有證人 Unfortunately, there were no witnesses...
所以我們只有你的話來證實 so we've only your word for that.
但是探長 我在電話里有聽到 But I heard it all, inspector, over the telephone.
溫先生 你在電話里聽到了什么 What exactly did you hear, Mr. Wendice?
我聽到了斷斷續續的叫聲 I heard a series of faint cries.
你有沒有聽到什么顯示掙扎的聲音呢? Did you hear anything to indicate that a struggle was going on?
我聽到的是我太太所告訴我的 What I did hear, inspector, is perfectly consistent with what my wife told me.
所以你真正知道這件事 全是你太太告訴你的 對嗎 So all you really know of the matter is what your wife told you, isn't it?
而你認為此人來偷你家東西 Now, you suggest that this man came to burgle your flat.
但這事是沒有證據的 But there's no evidence of that.
然而 他勒索你可是有證據的 There is evidence, however, that he was blackmailing you.
-勒索 -東尼 我怕這是事實 -Blackmail? -Yes, I'm afraid that's true, Tony.
而你認為他是從窗戶進來的 And you suggest he came in by the window.
我們知道他是從那門進來的 And we know that he came in by that door.
但是他不可能 那門是鎖住的 But he can't have come in that way. That door was locked.
而只是兩把鑰匙 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.
就在這 Here.
你可以讓他進來呀 You could have let him in.
你是認為是她自己讓他進來的? Are you suggesting she let him in herself?
眼前看來 這是他唯一進來的方法 At present, that appears to be the only way he could've entered.
你難道不相信我被攻擊了嗎? Don't you even believe I was attacked?
你想我是怎么會有 這些擦傷的? How do you think I got these bruises on my throat?
你自己可以弄那些擦傷 You could have caused those bruises yourself.
一只絲襪在窗戶外面被發現 A silk stocking was found outside the window.
那上面打了兩個結 It had two knots tied in it.
這事對你可有任何意義嗎? Does that mean anything to you?
我想那就是他用的絲襪 I suppose it must have been the stocking he used.
我們找到了一只的另外一只 藏在這個墊板下面 We found the twin stocking hidden underneath this blotting pad.
你可以解釋攻擊你的人為什么要這么做嗎 Can you explain why your attacker should do that?
不能 No.
那雙襪子是你的吧 Those stockings were yours?
-不是 -我們知道是你的 -No! -We know they were.
有一只的跟部用絲補過 所用的絲和原來的不同 One of the heels had been darned with some silk that didn't quite match.
我們在你的針線盒里找到這種絲 We found a reel of that silk in your mending basket.
東尼 這里原來有一雙絲襪的 Tony, there was a pair of stockings here.
我聽說過警察故意放置線索以確保能破案定罪 I've heard of the police deliberately planting clues to ensure a conviction.
他的手下 在這待了好幾個小時 His men were here for hours last night.
他們可以拿了 那只襪子隨便處理 They could have taken those stockings and done anything.
當然 也許還在門墊上 Of course. Probably wiped his shoes...
-擦鞋呢 -喂 -on the doormat as well. -Hello?
喂 羅杰 感謝上帝你在 Hello, Roger, thank heaven you're in.
我是東尼?溫地斯 我們昨夜遭小偷了 Tony Wendice here. Listen, we had a burglary last night...
-瑪歌受到了攻擊 -瑪歌? 她受傷了嗎 -and Margot was attacked. -Margot? Was she hurt?
她沒事 但是那人被殺死了 警察在這 She's all right, but the man was killed. The police are here.
別笑 他們認為瑪歌故意殺了他 Don't laugh. They are suggesting that Margot killed him intentionally.
先生 我可不會這么說 I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.
-這可真是妙 -可笑 對吧? -Well, that's a good one. -Yes, it is funny, isn't it?
羅杰 你可否到梅維分局來一趟 Could you come around at once, Maida Vale Police Station?
-可以 馬上就去 -多謝 老兄 再見 -Yes, be there right away. -Thanks, old boy. Goodbye.
親愛的 沒關系 羅杰會到分局來 It's all right, darling. Roger's gonna meet us there.
溫先生 我要忠告你們... Mr. Wendice, I should advise you...
我們的律師會給我們忠告的 謝謝你 Our lawyer will give us any advice we need, thank you.
瑪歌... Margot...
-你的皮包 -謝謝 -here's your handbag. -Thank you.
-你要來吧 -探長 我當然要去 -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.
我控訴你在九月廿六日 I charge you, that on the 26th of September...
你有意的謀殺了查爾斯亞歷山大史望 you did willfully murder Charles Alexander Swan.
你對這項指控 有什么話要答辯嗎 Do you wish to say anything in answer to this charge?
而你 在你這一生的任何時間 And did you, at any time in your life...
會見過這個叫史望的人嗎 meet this man Swan?
你收到一封哈利戴寫給你的信 You received a letter from Mr. Halliday.
這封信在死者口袋里被找到了 This letter was found in the dead man's pocket.
現在你說你不認識他 Now you say you did not know him.
你們可有認定犯人 瑪歌?瑪麗?溫地斯 Do you find the prisoner, Margot Mary Wendice...
有罪還是無罪? guilty or not guilty?
有罪 Guilty.
本庭對于你的判刑是將你送回你所來的地方去 The sentence of this court is that you be taken to the place...
從那里到 一個依法執死刑的地方 from whence you came, from thence to a place of lawful execution.
-哈? 馬克 -東尼 -Hello, Mark. -Tony.
我... I...
你有任何來自內政部長的消息嗎 Have you gotten any news from the home secretary?
那就是明天了? Then it's tomorrow?
東尼 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.
我們已經做了一切了 We've done everything.
沒有 東尼 我們沒有什么都做 No, we haven't done everything.
我想了好幾個星期 I've been trying to figure out something...
要找出法子來 just in case it came to this.
現在我相信這是她唯一的機會 I really believe it's her only chance.
那就說來聽聽 Let's have it.
瑪歌被定了罪 因誰都不相信她 Margot was convicted because nobody believed her story.
檢方認定她 一個謊接著一個謊說 The prosecution made out she was telling lies...
陪審團又相信他 這案子有什么 and the jury believed him. What did his case really amount to?
只有三樣東西 我的信她的絲襪 Just three things: My letter, her stocking...
以及在史望身上 沒有鑰匙的事實 and the fact that because no key was found on Swan...
她一定是自己讓他進來的 she must've let him in.
-別想告訴我... -等等 東尼 -Don't tell me... -Wait a minute.
聽我說 這是你進來的地方 Now, hear me out. This is where you come in.
你得到警方去 告訴他們一個故事 Now, you've got to go tell the police and tell them some story.
任何會說服他們 瑪歌沒說謊的事 Anything to convince them Margot wasn't lying after all.
警察不像是會相信我的話 The police aren't likely to believe anything I tell them.
東尼 我寫這東西許多年了 Tony, I've been writing this stuff for years.
我想出了一件 讓你告訴他們的事 I've figured out something for you to tell them.
現在我們 把環給一個一個的連上 Now, let's take those points one by one.
瑪歌說她絕對沒有讓史望從這扇門進來 Margot says she never let Swan in through this door.
好 Okay.
他反正是把門打開了 He must have opened it somehow.
假設你告訴警方你把你的鑰匙留在外頭什么地方了呢 Suppose you tell the police that you left your key out here somewhere?
那么史望就可以自己進來了 Then Swan could have let himself in.
-他怎么知道鑰匙在那里呢? -是你告訴他的 -How did he know it was there? -You told him.
但我有廿年沒見過史望了 But I haven't met Swan in 20 years.
東尼 史望己死了 Tony, Swan is dead.
我們得善加利用這一點 We've gotta make the most of that.
你可以說任何關于他的故事 你甚至可說 You can tell any story you like. You can even say...
你們倆見了面你們一起計劃了這整件事 you two met somewhere and planned this whole thing together.
計劃什么? Planned what?
你是認為我安排史望 Are you suggesting I arranged for Swan to come here...
-來勒索她? -不是 -to blackmail her? -No.
是來殺她的 To kill her.
-來殺瑪歌 -就是這樣 -Kill Margot? -That's it.
-為什么呢 -因她這么說的 -Why? -Because she said so.
他從窗簾后頭走出來 "He came from behind the curtain...
他想要把我勒死 and he tried to strangle me."
好 這就是他所做的 Okay, that's what he did.
你所要做的是 就是支持她所說的 Just support everything she said.
這就是我整個的構想 Don't you see? That's my whole idea.
那你的信呢? 人是不會去殺 What about your letter?
他想勒索的人的 A man doesn't kill the person he blackmails.
-這樣講不通 -我知道 我對這點擔了一下心 -That doesn't make sense. -I know. It worried me too.
但我也想出了解決的方法 But I've got that licked.
你告訴他們你自己 偷了她的皮包 You tell them that you stole her handbag yourself.
我為什么要這么做呢? Why should I do that?
因你想要看我的信 Because you wanted to read my letter.
當你看了我的信你發怒了決定給她個教訓 When you read it, you got mad and decided to teach her a lesson.
所以你寫了那些勒索便條 You wrote those blackmail notes.
誰也不能證明你沒有寫 Nobody can prove you didn't.
你也可以說 你沒在車站看見史望 And you can also say you never saw Swan at Victoria Station.
你編的好把他和我的信 扯上關系 You just invented that to try to connect him with my letter.
你看不出來這上面的關連嗎? 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.
-是你放進去的 -什么時候放的 -You put it there. -When?
就在警察到這前那段時間 Sometime before the police arrived.
而你還可以... And you could have also...
同時放置那只絲襪 planted the stockings at the same time.
馬克 我為什么找人來殺瑪歌呢 Mark, why should I want anyone to kill Margot?
我知道 I know, Tony.
東尼 我們難于去面對 It's tough for us to see because we...
因為我們兩人都愛她 We both love her.
但是我們現在需要一個理由 But we need a reason now.
我們非常的需要這個理由 We need it badly!
我們來拿一個古老庫存的動機 Let's take one of the old stock motives.
-瑪歌有立遺囑嗎? -有 我相信他立了 -Had Margot made a will? -Yes, I believe she had.
-誰是受益人 -我想是我吧 -Who was the beneficiary? -Why, I am, I suppose.
-這就是你的理由 -上萬的夫妻 -There's your reason! -Thousand of husbands and wives...
彼此留錢給對方 也沒說會彼此謀殺的呀 leave money to each other without murdering each other.
警方 一個字也不會相信這個說法 The police wouldn't believe it. They'd take it as a man...
一個拼命想救他太太的男人 trying desperately to save his wife.
總之 是值得一試的 Well, I certainly think it's worth that try.
他們不會為了 謀殺不成而吊死你 Face it, they can't hang you for a murder that never came off.
頂多是你在監獄里待上幾年 The most you'd get would be a few years in prison.
感謝之至 Thanks very much.
東尼 救她一命這是很小的代價 It's a small price to pay. You'd save her life!
馬克 這話出自你口可真好 That's fine coming from you, Mark.
要不是因為你 她不會有生命之危 Her life wouldn't be in danger at all if it hadn't been for you.
由于她和你之間的關系 It's because of her association with you...
她失去了陪審團的同情心 that she lost the sympathy of the jury.
別會錯意 馬克 Don't get me wrong, Mark.
只要有點機會 我當然會去做 If there was the slightest chance of this coming off, I'd do it.
但是 那一定要有說服力 But it's got to be convincing.
比方說 我怎能說動史望干這事 For instance, how could I have persuaded Swan to do a thing like this?
你若應給他錢或是什么的 You offered him money or something.
什么錢 我什么錢也沒有 What money? I don't have any.
有的 瑪歌的錢 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.
人們不會讓你 欠錢去干謀殺案的 And people don't commit murder on credit.
不會的 我...我怕你得想個比這更好的說詞 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.
你能想像會有誰相信這故事嗎 But can you imagine anyone believing a story like that?
能 我能 如果你使他們相信 Yes, I can. If you make them believe it!
我不知道怎么說 你得跟我去 I wouldn't know what to say. Come with me.
東尼 這才真是個錯誤呢 他們知道我寫的東西 That would be a mistake. They know the stuff I write.
就沒機會了 We wouldn't stand a chance...
探長 你好 Hello, inspector.
是為了我太太的事嗎? Is it about my wife?
-先生 不是 我怕不是 -那么是為了什么呢? -No, sir, I'm afraid not. -Then what is it?
我正在調查一件和三周前 I'm making inquiries in connection with a robbery that took place...
-所發生的搶案有關連的事 -能等幾天嗎? -about three weeks ago, sir. -Can't it wait a few days?
當然可以 先生 我對你的處境是很能體會的 Of course, sir. I'm very conscious of your position.
如果容我說 我想說我是多難過 If I may, I'd like to say how deeply sorry I am...
是的 探長 有何我可效勞之處 Yes, inspector, all right. Now, how can I help you?
一個在里伯利街工廠的出納在他的辦公室被攻擊了 The cashier of a factory in Ledbury Street was attacked in his office...
而兩個男子搶走了幾百英磅 and two men made off with several hundred pounds...
多數是一英磅的鈔票 mostly in pound notes.
這跟我有何關呢 像這種案件 What is all this to do with me?
所有的警察單位 全被要求去尋找 In these cases, all police divisions are asked to keep a lookout...
花大把錢的人 for anyone spending large sums of money.
-我明白了 -我不知道 -I see. -And I was wondering...
-你最近有沒有為了現金 賣了什么東西 -什么 -if you'd sold anything recently for cash. -Why?
我的警佐 有一天在威爾斯修車廠 My sergeant happened to be making inquiries...
進行調查工作 而查出來了 at Wales' Garage the other day, and it appears that you...
你最近在那有一筆為數大約... settled an account there recently for...
剛超過六十英磅的交易 just over £60.
那時候我身上有現金 Yes, I happened to have quite a bit on me...
所以我就以現金支付了 so I settled for cash.
我明白了 你是否 剛從你的銀行里提了錢呢 I see. Had you just drawn this money from your bank?
你去過我的銀行去嗎? 探長 Have you been to my bank, inspector?
去過 事實上我去過 但是他們不肯幫助我 Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. But they wouldn't help me.
銀行帳目都被嚴密看守著的 Bank statements are always jealously guarded.
我要怪的是你沒有先來找我 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.
我不想來打擾你 I didn't want to disturb you.
你那些現金是那兒來的? 先生 Where did you get it, sir?
這事跟你有關嗎? Is that any of your business?
如果錢是偷來的 就是我的事了 If it was stolen money, yes, sir, it is my business.
-你不介意我抽煙吧 -請便 -Do you mind if I smoke? -Go ahead.
你真的認為我在接收賊款嗎? Do you really think I've been receiving stolen money?
除非你告訴我錢是哪兒來的 Until you tell me where you got it,
我就不知道該怎樣想了 對吧 I shan't know what to think, shall I?
如果你這錢是來自某個陌生人 You see, if you got this money from someone you didn't know...
那可能就是我們要找的人呢 I mean, that might be the very person we're looking for.
哈? Hello.
-先生 這是你的嗎? -什么東西 -Is this yours? -What is it?
誰的鑰匙在地板上 Somebody's latchkey. It was lying on the floor just here.
不是 我的就在這里 No. Mine's here.
不是...這把不是你的 No. No, it's not yours.
我想可能是我的 It may be mine, then.
沒錯 就是我的 Yes. Yes, it is mine.
一定是從口袋的小洞掉出來的 It must have dropped out of the pocket. There's a small hole there.
這就是這些鑰匙的問題 它們長得全都一樣 That's the trouble with these latchkeys, they're all alike.
先生 抱歉 你在說... Sorry, sir, you were saying?
我想我沒說什么 我有嗎? I don't think I was, was I?
對了 關于錢的事 Yes, yes. About that money.
如果你告訴我來源 我會很感激的 I'd be grateful if you'd tell me where you got it.
總之 一百英磅在身上不是少數 A hundred pounds is a lot to carry around.
-剛才你說的是六十英磅的 -我有嗎? -You said 60 a moment ago. -Did I?
對了... 我的警佐決定在他寫報告前 Oh, yes. Yes, my sergeant decided to dig a little deeper...
要更深入的調查一番 before he put in his report.
他說你還支付了你的裁縫 He said that you also paid a bill at your tailor's...
以及淡酒和烈酒等帳單 and another for wines and spirits.
我很抱歉為這小事你來找我 I'm sorry he went to that trouble.
我一下子就可以說明白了 Had he come to me, I could have explained it.
我只是贏了一場賽狗而己 I simply won rather a large sum at dog-racing.
-超過一百英磅? -對 超過一百磅 -Over £100? -Yes. Over £100.
從前也贏過 當然 It has been done before, you know.
那你為什么不立刻說呢 Why didn't you tell me this straightaway?
我去賽狗感到很不好意思 I was ashamed of being caught going to dog-racing...
在我太太被判了死刑的時候 when my wife was under sentence of death.
我知道 這樣你會忘記所有煩惱 Yes, I know how it is. It helps take your mind off things.
這樣一切都明白了 對吧? Well, that answers everything, doesn't it?
我為這事來打擾你很抱歉 I'm sorry to bother you at this time.
探長 一點也沒有... Not at all, inspector. Not at all.
還有另外一件事 先生 There's just one other thing, sir.
你是不是有一個 藍色小手提箱? Have you a small, blue attache case?
-別說你已經找到了 -你弄掉了嗎 -You found it already. -Why, have you lost it?
是的 我正想下午去報案呢 Yes. I was going to report it this afternoon.
-我想我是掉在計程車上了 -我明白了 -I think I left it in a taxi. -I see.
我們...得設法把它找回來 We must try and get it back, mustn't we?
你是在哪搭的計程車呢? Where did you pick the taxi up, sir?
海德公園的街角 約在半小時前 Hyde Park Corner, about half an hour ago.
-里頭有值錢的東西嗎 -沒有 幾本書 -Anything valuable? -No. A few books and...
-有錢在里頭嗎? -我相信兩三英磅吧 -Any money? -Two or three pounds in an envelope.
-不是兩三百磅吧 -不 不是的 -Not 200 or 300? -No, I'm afraid not.
-那就無所謂了 -探長 -Just as well. -Tell me, inspector...
你怎么知道手提箱的? how'd you find out about the attache case?
你去付了帳酒店提到這手提箱 The wine shop said you had it when you paid your bill...
所以 我的警佐就去問你的修車廠 so my sergeant checked on your garage and tailor.
和你的裁縫 他們去記得你有 They remembered you had it when you paid them.
我是用 這手提箱來替代公事包的 Yes, well, I use it instead of a briefcase, you see.
這些計程車司機在歸失物上 These taxi men are pretty good at turning things in.
表現是很好的 我會為你找到的 I hope you'll find it all right, sir.
探長 在你走之前 Inspector, before you go...
我想溫先生有件事要告訴你 I think Mr. Wendice has something to tell you.
他有嗎? Oh, has he?
這里有樣東西我要給你看 先生 And I'd like to show you something in here, sir.
怪不得你受不了 睡在她的臥室里 No wonder you couldn't bear to sleep in her bedroom.
這一定超過有五百英磅 先生 There must be over £500 here.
你這些錢是打哪弄來的? Where did you get it?
我可以告訴你 他為什么弄這錢來 I can tell you why he got it.
這些錢用來付給 一個姓史望的人 This money was to have been paid to Swan...
在他謀殺了溫太太之后 after he murdered Mrs. Wendice.
可是 你知道 事情出了意外 But as you know, there was an accident...
所以就不用付錢給史望了 so it wasn't necessary to pay Swan after all.
總之 他不能存這些錢 而不被傳去問話 He couldn't produce this without questions being asked...
所以他就花掉 so he lived on it.
他從3月27日就開始花用了 He's been living on it since the 27th of March.
溫先生 你怎么說呢? Well, Mr. Wendice?
探長 在你來之前 他想說動我到警方去 Before you came, he was trying to persuade me...
講個最精彩你沒聽過的故事 to go to the police with the most fantastic story you ever heard.
顯然的 我賄賂史望 來謀殺我太太 所以... Apparently, I bribed Swan to murder my wife so that...
馬克 要是我說錯了 糾正我 Correct me if I go wrong, Mark.
所以我可以繼承她所有的錢 So that I could inherit all her money.
還不只是這樣呢 And that isn't all.
你還記得哈利戴先生的信 You remember Mr. Halliday's letter?
顯然的 史望沒偷 是我偷的 Well, apparently, Swan didn't steal it, I did.
而我還寫了那兩封勒索的便條 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.
-還有絲襪... -對了 絲襪 -And the stocking... -Yes, the stocking.
還是我來說 馬克 這聽起來才更像是招供呢 I'd better tell this. It sounds more like a confession.
我替換了 這字眼正確嗎? I substituted... Is that the right word?
是的 我用我太太的絲襪替換了那條... Yes, I substituted my wife's other stocking for the one that...
你聽懂我的話吧? 還有什么呢? 馬克 You do follow me, don't you? What else, Mark?
他告訴史望 他把鑰匙藏在這一帶 He told Swan he'd hide his key somewhere out here...
也許在門框上頭 probably up on this ledge.
史望就自己開門進來了 Swan let himself in.
他藏身在窗簾后面 然后溫地斯從飯店打電話來 He hid behind the curtains, then Wendice telephoned.
-這就使她... -等一下 -That brought her... -One moment.
如果史望用了溫先生的鑰匙 If Swan had used Mr. Wendice's key,
他死時鑰匙應該在他身上才對 it would have been on him when he died.
而且 溫先生回來時怎么進門呢 Besides, how did Mr. Wendice get in when he returned from the hotel?
反正 她可以開門讓他進來 She could have let him in.
而他可以在警察來之前 從史望口袋里把鑰匙拿出來 He could've taken his key from Swan's pocket before you got here.
他是用自己鑰匙的 這是在審判時在庭上說的 He let himself in with his own key. That came out in the trial.
-你記得嗎? -馬克 讓你說了 -Don't you remember? -Come on, Mark. Your move.
史望可能從這里把鑰匙拿下來 Swan could have taken the key down from here...
把門打開 unlocked the door...
在他進門之前 把鑰匙放回原處 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...
但并不是我來此所要尋找的 to what I came to find out.
這是生死的問題 還有什么呢? But this is life-and-death. What else matters?
對我來說 溫先生錢的來源 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.
請等一下 先生 Just a moment. Please, sir.
探長 等等 看看這個 Inspector, wait a minute! Look at this.
最后他簽的支票是3月26日 The last check he wrote was on the 26th of March.
那就是這一切發生在那天的前一天 That's the day before this all happened.
我告訴你 從那天起他就花現金了 He's been living off it since.
-銀行... -哈利戴先生 -That's his bank's... -Mr. Halliday.
抱歉 Sorry.
他從銀行沒有提領超過52英磅以上的大筆現款 He hasn't drawn any large sums from his bank. Nothing over £53.
但 探長 你看 But look, inspector...
事實上 每周都提35英磅 40 45英磅 practically every week, £35, 40, 45, 50.
他可以將它保存起來 He could have saved it up.
當然 我可以用許多年來計劃 I could have been planning all this for years.
-那么你那錢是從哪弄來的? -你真的想知道嗎? -Then where did you get it? -Do you really want to know?
-我警告你 你不會喜歡聽的 馬克 -說呀 -I warn you. You won't like it, Mark. -Come on.
好吧 這是你自找的 All right, you asked for it.
當她那夜把我從宴會中叫回來 When she called me back from the party that night...
我發現她跪在史望的尸體邊 在他的口袋里翻 I found her kneeling beside Swan's body, going through his pockets.
她不停的說他有屬于她的東西 但她找不到那東西 She kept saying he had something of hers, but she couldn't find it.
她幾乎要精神崩潰了 所以我才沒有讓警方詢問她 She was almost hysterical. That's why I wouldn't let police question her.
在那情況 她還是滿口謊話 In the state she was in, she would have told every lie under the sun.
第二天早上她把錢拿給我看 The next morning, she showed me the money...
就是這些 全是一英磅的鈔票 just as it is now, all in £1 notes.
她說 如果有任何事發生在我身上 And she said, "If anything happens to me,
可別讓他們發現這些錢 don't let them find this."
總之 她被捕之后 我就把手提箱里的錢原封不動的 Well, after she was arrested, I took the money in that case...
拿到車站去存放在寄物處里 to Charing Cross Station and left it in the checkroom.
只要我需要錢的時候 我就拿出來 Whenever I needed money, I took it out...
再存入另一寄物處 and left it in some other checkroom.
我知道如果你們發現她就完了 I knew if you had found it, she wouldn't stand a chance.
她本來就要把那些錢給他的 但反之她卻把他給殺了 You see, she was just about to give it to him when she killed him instead.
你不會盼望誰會相信這些吧? You don't expect anyone to believe this, do you?
我實在是不知道 探長 你認為怎樣呢? I have really no idea. What about it, inspector?
我得說 我懷疑過像這類的事 I must say, I suspected something like that.
你是說你查都不查這件事了? 她明天就要被吊死了 You're not going to check up on this? She's being hanged tomorrow.
這所有的事已經不是我掌管了 All this has been out of my hands for months.
這些個月來 審判 上訴 There's been a trial and an appeal...
當然 這事你覺得無所謂對吧 Of course it wouldn't mean much to you.
你得承認你逮捕錯了人了 You'd have to admit you arrested the wrong person.
-我想你還是走吧 -你說對了 我會走的 -I think you'd better go. -You bet I'll go.
但你犯了一個錯誤 But you've made one mistake.
當瑪歌聽到這件事會怎樣呢? What will happen when Margot hears this?
-當然 她會否認的 -而且也許她會改她的遺囑的 -She'll deny it, of course. -And perhaps she'll change her will.
馬克 你就會白忙一場了 You'll have done it all for nothing, Tony.
如果我告訴你他所編的故事 會有誰會相信我嗎? If I'd told that story of his, would anyone believe me?
沒有 不可能的 No, not a chance.
在每一次執行死刑之前總會有人來這一套的 Before nearly every execution, someone comes forward like this.
今天這么一來 This must have been distressing for you...
-你一定很不好受 -你想他們會讓他見她嗎? -coming as it did. -You suppose they let him see her?
我現在不希望有事再煩她了 I don't want her upset just now.
跟你律師談 他可以阻止的 Have a word with your lawyer. He might be able to prevent it.
在有人動那些錢的腦筋前 還是存進銀行去吧 You should get that money in the bank before somebody pinches it.
謝謝你 我想我會去存的 Thank you. I think I will.
我希望哈利戴先生 沒在外面等我 I hope Mr. Halliday's not waiting outside to see me.
你不介意去看看 確定他已經走了吧? Would you mind just taking a look, sir, to make sure he's gone?
-他走了 -那好 -All clear. -Good.
還有 先生 他們要我告訴你 By the way, sir, I was asked to tell you...
有些屬于溫太太的東西在分局 there are a few belongings of Mrs. Wendice at the station.
-是什么東西呢 -一些書以及她的皮包 -What sort of things? -Just books and a handbag.
他們希望你找時間去拿 They'd like you to come and collect them.
-你是說明天以后? -對 如果你愿意 今天也行 -You mean, after tomorrow? -Yes, or today if you like.
就問值班警佐就行了 他知道 Just ask the desk sergeant. He knows all about it.
是的 再見 溫先生 我想我們不會再見面了 Well, goodbye, Mr. Wendice. I don't suppose we shall meet again.
再見 謝謝你 探長 Goodbye, inspector, and thank you very much.
-梅維分局 -我是探長 -Maida Vale Police. -Chief inspector here.
快給我接歐布蘭警佐 Give me Sergeant O'Brien, quick.
-歐布蘭 -哈伯 -O'Brien here. -Hubbard.
歐布蘭 我又進來了 Look, O'Brien, I've got back in again.
-開始按計劃行事吧 -立刻辦 長官 -Start the ball rolling. -Right away, sir.
哈伯探長 Inspector Hubbard.
是我 馬克哈利戴 It's me, Mark Halliday.
你想要怎樣? 有什么主意? Now what are you up to? What's the idea?
-你在這干嘛 -這個你別管 -What are you doing? -Never mind.
-我不知道你為什么來這 -你還是快走吧 探長 -I was wondering why... -Get out of here.
-聽著... -閉嘴 -Listen, inspector... -Shut up!
如果你要救溫太太 別說話 讓我處理這事 If you want to save Mrs. Wendice, keep quiet. Let me handle this.
你可能... How are you possibly going to...?
這是怎么回事啊? Look, what is all this?
他們說我們是扁足警察 They talk about flatfooted policemen.
愿圣人保護我們來對抗一個業余的高手 May the saints protect us from the gifted amateur.
你最好預備好接受一個驚奇 哈利戴先生 You'd better prepare yourself for a surprise, Mr. Halliday.
瑪歌 Margot!
馬克 Hello, Mark.
-東尼呢 -他... -Where's Tony? -He...
-他出去了 -他什么時候會回來呢 -He's gone out. -When will he be back?
我們不知道 We're not sure.
-剛才是你按門鈴嗎 -是的 -Was that you who rang just now? -Yes.
-你為什么不給我開門呢? -你有鑰匙 -Why didn't you let me in? -You've got a key.
-為什么不用呢? -我用了 -Why didn't you use it? -I did...
-可是打不開鎖 -對了 你知道是為什么呢? -but it didn't fit the lock. -You know why, don't you?
不 我不知道 鎖被換掉了嗎? No, I don't. Has the lock been changed?
把你的皮包給我看一下 May I have your bag a moment?
這把鑰匙是誰的? Whose key is this?
我想這把是我的 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?
你丈夫已經說明這個了 你要知道 Your husband's explained this, you know.
你現在可以全都告訴我們了 You can tell us all about it now.
那是什么? What is it?
我不明白 I don't understand.
對 我相信你是不明白的 No, I don't believe you do.
-皮爾遜 -是的 長官 -Pearson. -Yes, sir.
把這皮包送回分局去 Take this handbag back to the police station...
-并把那輛車開走 -是的 長官 -and get that car out of the way. -Yes, sir.
等等 你這呆子 你不能這樣上街 Wait a minute, you clod. You can't walk down the street like that.
你會被逮捕的 把皮包放到這里來 You'll be arrested. Here, put it in this.
瑪歌 你是怎么到這來的? Margot, how did you get here?
我不知道 I don't know.
大約一小時前 典獄長來看我 About an hour ago, the warden came to see me...
他說 我要被帶回家 and just said I was to be taken home.
然后兩個探員帶我到這兒來了 Then two detectives brought me here.
他們說 我可以走了 可是我打不開門 They said I could go, but I couldn't get that door open.
東尼到那去了? Where's Tony?
他今天早上該來看我的 He was supposed to visit this morning...
而他們說他不能來了 and they said he couldn't come.
他發生了什么事了嗎? Has anything happened to him?
沒有 沒有事 No. Nothing.
探長 我不是想要干涉 I don't want to interfere...
但是 你可以告訴我們你到底在做什么呢 but do you think you could tell us what you're up to?
溫太太 我要告訴你的事可能會嚇到你 Mrs. Wendice, what I'm about to tell you may come as a shock.
怎樣呢? Yes?
我們非常懷疑你的丈夫計劃了要謀殺你 We strongly suspect that your husband had planned to murder you.
東尼安排了史望那晚來這殺你 Tony arranged for Swan to come here that night and kill you.
你知道這件事有多久了? How long have you known this?
-你自己不懷疑這件事嗎? -不 從未懷疑過 -Did you suspect it yourself? -No, never.
然而... And yet...
馬克 我是怎么了? What's the matter with me, Mark?
我好像對什么都沒感覺了 I don't seem able to feel anything.
我是不是該崩潰或什么的 Shouldn't I break down or something?
那只是行動遲緩 如此而己 It's delayed action, that's all.
過幾天之后 你就會有最棒的崩潰了 In a couple of days, you're gonna have the most wonderful breakdown.
你是什么時候發現的? 先生 When did you find out, sir?
頭一個線索來得相當意外 Well, the first clue came quite by accident.
我們發現你丈夫在所有的地方 We discovered that your husband had been spending...
花費了大量的現金 全是一磅紙鈔 a large number of pound notes all over the place.
最后總數超過了三百英磅 It ran into over £300.
而開始的時間 大約就是你被捕時 And it appeared to have started at about the time you were arrested.
現在我得知道他那些錢是從哪以及怎么弄來的 Now, I had to find out where he got that money and how.
然后我想起來了 在你被捕之后我們搜過這間屋子 Then I remembered that after you were arrested we searched this flat.
我在這書桌上 看見他的銀行帳目 And I saw a copy of his bank statement in that desk.
所以昨天下午我到監獄去 并且要求看你的皮包 So yesterday afternoon, I went to the prison and asked to see your handbag.
我要這么做的目的是摸走你的鑰匙 While I was doing this, I managed to lift your latchkey.
很不合規定 當然 但是我就是不服輸 Highly irregular, of course, but my blood was up.
然后今天早上當你丈夫出去時 And then this morning, when your husband was out...
我回到這來看他的帳目 I came back here to look at his statement.
我沒看到 因為我進不了這扇門 I never saw it because I never got through that door.
你看 我從你皮包里拿來的鑰匙 You see, the key that I'd taken from your handbag...
不是開這個鎖的 didn't fit the lock.
威廉斯 Williams?
溫地斯 Wendice.
這可真是好險呀 That was a near one.
梅維分局 我是歐布蘭 Maida Vale Police. O'Brien speaking.
哈伯 聽我說 歐布蘭 他發現了他的大衣了 Hubbard. Look, O'Brien, he's found out about his raincoat.
他剛回來 可是進不來 我想現在 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.
皮爾遜把皮包送到了沒有? Has Pearson arrived with the handbag?
-送到了 長官 -很好 -Yes, sir. -Good. Now, listen.
把那些書和皮包給溫地斯 Give Wendice those books and the handbag...
并且確定他看到那把鑰匙 and make sure he sees the key.
最好叫他查看皮包里的東西 而且要他簽收 Better make him check the contents and sign for them.
如果他要他自己的鑰匙和大衣 If he wants his own key and raincoat...
-告訴他我到哥拉斯哥去了 -知道了 -tell him I've gone to Glasgow. -Right, sir.
-有問題嗎? -沒有 那好 -Any questions? -No questions.
他一離開分局就打電話來給我 Call me back when he leaves the station.
好的 長官 Right, sir.
怎樣 哈利戴先生 你找到沒? Well, Mr. Halliday, have you got it?
我沒找到 那溫太太的鑰匙呢 I don't think so. Where's Mrs. Wendice's key?
用了我正好半小時 找到這把鑰匙 It took me just half an hour to find it.
但是如果鑰匙在那里 剛才溫地斯為什么不用呢? But if it was there, why didn't Wendice use it just now?
他沒用是因為 他不知道鑰匙在那 He didn't use it because he doesn't realize it's there.
他仍然以為 鑰匙在他太太皮包里 He still thinks it's in the handbag.
你幾乎是接近正確答案了 You see, you were very nearly right.
他告訴史望他會把你的鑰匙放在樓梯地毯下面 He told Swan that he would leave your latchkey under the stair carpet.
并且告訴他離開時再放回原處 And told him to return it to the same place when he left.
但是當史望被殺之后 我們自然認為你的鑰匙 But as Swan was killed, we assumed that your key...
應該在史望的口袋里 would still be in one of Swan's pockets.
這是他的一個小錯誤 That was his little mistake because Swan had done...
因為史望所做的正是你建議的 exactly as you suggested, Mr. Halliday.
他把門打開 He unlocked the door...
然后在他進門之前 把鑰匙放回原處了 then returned the key before he came in.
從那時起 那鑰匙就一直在那了 And it's been out there ever since.
而溫地斯 從史望口袋里拿的鑰匙 And the key Wendice took out of Swan's pocket...
-并放回她的皮包里的是... -史望自己的鑰匙 -and returned to her handbag was... -Swan's own latchkey.
你猜怎樣 甚至我也沒立刻猜到 Mind you, even I didn't guess that at once. Extraordinary.
在史望尸體上沒有找到鑰匙一直在困擾著我 You know, it had always puzzled me that no key was found on Swan's body.
總之 大多數人身上都帶鑰匙 After all, most men carry a latchkey about with them.
然后 我有了靈感 And then I had a brain wave.
我把在你皮包里的鑰匙拿著 I took the key that was in your handbag...
到他的女友凡登太太家去 而把她家的大門打開了 to his girlfriend's, Mrs. Van Dorn's, and unlocked the door of her flat.
然后我借了她的電話 打電話給蘇哥蘭場 And then I borrowed her telephone and called Scotland Yard.
-你為什么帶我到這來呢? -因為你是唯一可能把鑰匙 -Why did you bring me here? -You were the only other person...
放在外頭的另一個人 who could possibly have left that key outside.
我...我一定得查出來你是不是知道鑰匙在那里 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.
-馬克 -怎樣? 親愛的 -Mark. -Yes, darling?
我想我就要崩潰了 I think I'm going to have that breakdown.
-哈伯探長 -歐布蘭? -Inspector Hubbard? -O'Brien?
是 他剛離開分局 Yes. He's just left the station.
好的 Right.
努力再多支持一會兒 Try and hang on just a little longer.
威廉斯 他剛離開分局 Williams, he's just left the station!
-他往這走時打個暗號給我 -把手巾借我一下 -Give me a thump if he comes this way. -Do you have a handkerchief?
現在怎么樣了? What happens now?
遲早他會回到這來的 Sooner or later, he'll come back here.
我拿走了他的鑰匙 他就會試用皮包里的那一把 As I've pinched his latchkey, he'll try the one in the handbag.
當那一把開不了門時 他就了解他的錯誤 細心一想 When that doesn't fit, he'll realize his mistake.
就會到樓梯地毯下去找 Put two and two together and look under the stair carpet.
要是他不去找 我們這些猜謎 But if he doesn't do that, all this is guesswork.
-什么也證明不了 -完全正確 -We can't prove a thing. -That's perfectly true.
但是 一旦他把那扇門打開了 就一切真相大白了 But once he opens that door, we shall know everything.
-然后呢? -我要親自打電話給內政部長 -What will you do then? -I'm to phone the home secretary.
-他現在正等待電話呢 -那溫太太呢? -He's standing by for a call now. -And Mrs. Wendice?
就沒有什么好怕的事了 Will have nothing else to fear.
-還好嗎? 瑪歌 -是的 我很好 -All right, Margot? -Yes, I'm all right.
你們倆現在別出聲 Quiet, now, you two.
-他在干嘛? -他在想 -What's he doing? -He's wondering why...
為什么那把鑰匙開不了門 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.
他現在在看著皮包 He's looking at the handbag now.
他想要回憶起來他是什么時候把鑰匙放回去的 He's trying to remember when he put the key back in there.
他現在放棄了 Now he's given up.
我怕這回我們沒法子了 他往街那頭走了 I'm afraid we've had it this time. He's going way down the street.
等等 他又停下來了 Hold it. He's stopped again.
他轉過身來了 He's turning round.
他在盯著那把鑰匙看 He's staring at the key.
當然嘛 那是史望的鑰匙 Of course, that's Swan's key, isn't it?
現在他想明白了 他很快的往回走 Now he's got it! He's coming back fast.
他想起來了 He's remembered.
馬克 正如你所說的 在紙上談兵是可能會成功的 Well, as you said, Mark, it might work out on paper, but...
但是... 探長 恭喜你 Congratulations, inspector.
還有... By the way...
瑪歌 你怎么樣了? How about you, Margot?
是的 我可以做一件事 Yes, I could do with something.
-馬克? -我也可以 -Mark? -So could I.
探長 我想你還在值班吧? I suppose you're still on duty, inspector.
