彭德先生，您衣服可以穿上了 You can get dressed now, mr pund.
班森医生，跟我实话实说吧 So, dr Benson, tell me the worst.
没有进一步恶化的现象 Well, there's no sign of any further deterioration,
但我担心依旧不是好消息 but I'm afraid it's still not good news.
-我还剩多少时间？ -不好说 - Oh. How much time do I have? - It's not easy to be precise.
我担心肿瘤已经不小了 I'm afraid the tumour is very advanced.
如果能及早发现 Had we been able to spot it earlier,
我们还有机会能割除 there's a small chance we might have been able to operate.
我很抱歉 I'm sorry.
没什么好抱歉的 There's no need to be.
我活得够久了 I've had a long life.
我会谦卑的说，此生已无憾 And I will say in many respects it's been a good one.
在此之前，很多次我都以为自己会死 I've expected to die on many occasions before now.
你可以说死亡常伴我左右 You might even say that death has been a companion of mine,
不过总能与它保持距离 always two steps behind.
但现在闪不掉了 Now he's caught up.
即便如此，这也让我知道 是否能够… Even so, it would help me to know, for example,
去巴伐利亚阿尔卑斯山脉滑雪呢？ if I were considering a skiing holiday in the bavarian alps...?
这不会是个好主意 It wouldn't be a good idea.
你滑雪吗？ Do you ski?
不滑 No.
未来也不会了 And now I never will.
-你为什么没跟我说？ -说什么啊，苏珊？ - Why didn't you tell me? - 'Tell you what, Susan?'

那在哪里？ Where's that?
实际上没那个地方，从来都没有 Oh, that doesn't exist. They never do.
玛丽布莱基思顿被人发现 在派伊府邸身亡 Mary blakiston is found dead at pye hall.
那是马格努斯爵士的家族出身地 It's the ancestral home of sir Magnus.
她本来是他的管家 She was his housekeeper.
-她怎么了？ -从楼梯上跌下来 - What happened to her? - She fell down the stairs.
还是被推下楼梯的？ Or was she pushed?
我要再读两百页才会知道 Another two-hundred pages, and I'll find out.
所以今天下午我就不理你了 So, I'm gonna have to abandon you this afternoon.

-你回来了！ -你好，詹姆斯 - There you are! - Hello, James.
我本来很担心你的 I was getting quite worried about you.
-为什么？ -午前茶点你迟到了 - Why? - You're late for elevenses.
噢 Oh.
-你去哪里了？ -去找班森医生 - Where have you been? - To see dr Benson.
他是我们的客户吗？ Oh. Is he a client of ours?
不，她是医生 No, she's a doctor.
-有什么我应该知道的吗？ -我认为没有 - Anything I need to know? - I don't think so.
你有个客户再十分钟就到了 Well, you have a client arriving in ten minutes.
-我多拿了个杯子出来 -哪个客户？ - I put an extra cup out. - What client?
乔伊山德林，你不记得了吗？ Joy sanderling. Don't you remember?
应该是你忘了告诉我 You may have forgotten to tell me.
喔 Oh.
她前天打电话来了 Well, she rang the day before yesterday,
那时你桌上是空的 and you don't have anything on your desk at the moment,
所以我就跟她说了没问题 so I said it would be all right.
抱歉，詹姆斯，我现在没心情 Forgive me, James. I'm not in the mind
接新的客户 to take on a new client just at the moment.
她是专程大老远过来的 She's come a long way.
语气听起来相当苦恼 She sounded very distressed.
我深深爱着罗伯特布莱基思顿 I'm very much in love with Robert blakiston.
我们是青梅竹马 We were childhood sweethearts.
不管大家说什么，我都要嫁给他 And I'm going to marry him, no matter what anyone says.
大家是怎么说的呢，山德林女士？ And what do they say, miss sanderling?
说我吗？ About me?
说你的未婚夫 About your fiancé.
他们说是他杀了自己的母亲 They think he killed his mother.
我想这样就足以让任何人三思了 That would be enough, I think, to make anyone think twice.
但我知道他们错了 But I know they're wrong.
那只是乡间谣传，毫无道理 It's just village gossip. It's a lot of nonsense.
所以是什么让他们 有如此愚蠢的想法呢？ So, what is it that occurred to give them this foolish idea?
罗伯特在当地修车厂工作 Robert works in the local garage,
他母亲，玛丽布莱基思顿 也住在村庄里 and his mother, Mary blakiston, lived in the village.
他们母子关系不睦 The two of them didn't get on.
她老是对他啰唆个没完 She was always nagging him, and going on at him.
一副不希望他离开家的样子 It was almost like she didn't want him to leave home.
听起来有点像我妈 Sounds like my mother.
整件事的起因就是一次愚蠢的口角 This whole thing began because of a silly argument.
罗伯特的脾气不太好，这我承认 Robert's got a temper to him, I'll admit that.
但她一直碎念着要他去修理 她家中坏掉的灯 But she'd been going on at him to mend a light in her cottage,
在不该惹他的时机惹到他了 and she just picked on him at the wrong time.
-浴室的灯 -我知道 - The bathroom light. - I know.
-你说你会修理的 -我会修理 - You said you'd mend it. - I will.
都一个星期了！ It's been a week now!
我孤家寡人的 I'm on my own.
你也太不知羞耻了吧 You should be ashamed of yourself.
妈，你让我好好喝一杯行吗？ I'm having a drink, mum. All right?
分分秒秒都不放过我 Every minute of every bloody day, you never leave me alone.
不要这样对我说话 Don't use that language with me.
-我已经不是小孩子了 -不是吗？ - I'm not a child any more. - No?
我告诉你你是什么 I'll tell you what you are.
你是我这辈子最大的失望 You're the biggest disappointment of my life.
那你就找别人去修！ Well, then get someone else to do it!
可以吗？要是真的找不到人 All right? And if you can't find anyone,
你就干脆死了算了，让我耳根清静点 then just drop dead and give me a bit of peace.
隔天她就被人发现气绝身亡 'She was found dead the very next day.
陈尸在派伊府邸 'At pye hall.
那是马格努斯派伊爵士的家族出身地 'It's the ancestral home of sir Magnus pye.
她本来是他的管家 'She was his housekeeper.'
玛丽布莱基思顿的存在 Mary blakiston made saxby-on-avon
把萨克斯比艾凡变成更好的地方 a better place for everyone.
大家当然都说是他干的 'And of course everyone's saying that he did it.
说是他把她推下了楼梯 'That he pushed her down the stairs.
他们怎么可以这么坏？ 'How can they be so unkind?'
虽然我们今日在此哀悼她的逝去 so, although we are here today to mourn her departure,
我们也该怀念她留下的美好 we must also remember what she left behind.
警察怎么判断？ 'And what do the local police make of this?'
他们还在调查 'They're still investigating.'
但是已经多次约谈罗伯特 but they talked to Robert several times.
他们显然怀疑是他下的手 They clearly have their suspicions.
山德林女士，你说你和 Miss sanderling, you say you're engaged to be married
罗伯特布莱基思顿已经订婚 他母亲对此事的看法为何？ to Robert blakiston - what did his mother think of this?
她当然反对我们的婚事 She was against it, of course.
基于什么理由？ For what reason?
我不想谈 I don't want to talk about it.
原谅我，但有人可能认为 这就足以构成 Forgive me, but some might say this gave him exactly the motive
除掉她的动机了 to wish to do away with her.
大家说得可难听了，彭德先生 People are saying all sorts of horrible things, mr pund.
但通通都不是真的 But none of it's true.
她死去的那天早上我跟他在一起 I was with him the morning she died.
他自己有房子，我在那里过夜了 He has his own flat, and I stayed over that night.
所以不可能是他 So, it couldn't have been him.
所以你希望我做什么呢？ Then what exactly is it that you want me to do?
我希望您来一趟萨克斯比艾凡 I want you to come to saxby-on-avon.
只要一天就好 Just for one day.
只要您调查过后告诉大家 那是单纯的意外 If you look into it and tell people it was an accident,
他们一定会相信您的 I'm sure they'll believe you.
您这么有名，大家都知道您是谁 You're famous. Everyone knows who you are.
我只有这点要求，彭德先生 That's all I'm asking, mr pund.
来萨克斯比，告诉大家真相吧 Come to saxby. Tell them the truth.
-对！就是这样！ -喔 - Yes! That's it! - Oh!
抱歉 Sorry!
没关系 It's all right.
我猜应该是兵工厂队？ I take it that was arsenal?

我们双方都同意这行不通了吧 I thought we both agreed it wasn't working.
我需要钱，艾伦 I need the money, Alan.
坦白跟你说就是这样 I might as well be honest with you.
你也清楚乡下工作机会少 You know there's not much work in the country,
而且你也不乐见自己的妹妹 and, well, you wouldn't want to see your own sister
-只能在吧台工作吧 -喔 - stuck working behind the bar. - Oh!
总之，我很珍惜能进到你生活的时光 Anyway, I enjoyed being part of your world.
-你才没这么说 -那是我错了 - That's not what you said. - I was wrong.
对不起，但我当时压力真的很大 I'm sorry, but I was under a lot of stress,
再说了，你给我的薪水也不多 and frankly you weren't exactly paying me a fortune.
即便如此，我还是说了不该说的话 Even so, I spoke out of turn,
我只是在想，不知道你 是否愿意重新考虑 and, well, I was just wondering if you might think again.
我不知道 I don't know.
你还在咳嗽 Oh, you're still coughing.
我以为你去看过医生了 I thought you were getting that looked at.
看过了，只是肺炎而已 I've seen a doctor. It's just a chest infection.
-没什么好担心的 -嗯 - Nothing to worry about. - Mm.
我看你新书写完了 I see you've finished the new book.

天杀的稿子！ The bloody manuscript!
-真不敢相信 -有那么糟？ - I can't believe it. - It was that bad?
我还没看完，最后一章不见了 I haven't finished it. There's no last chapter.
一定是艾丽斯或洁麦玛影印错了 Alice or jemima must have buggered up the photocopying.
最后一章真的不见了 It's missing the last chapter.
所以你还不知道凶手是谁 So you don't know who did it.
不好笑，安德鲁，这真的烦死了 It's not funny, Andreas. It's bloody annoying.
抱歉，你可以自己猜出凶手吗？ I'm sorry. Can't you work it out for yourself?
不行，这种故事的复杂程度 从来不是我猜得到的 No! These things are always way too complicated for me.

艾伦？ Alan?
我忘了问你，学校话剧表演得怎样？ I forgot to ask, how was the school play?
至少他们都记得台词 Well, they knew their lines at least.
你好晚才到家，应该都午夜了 You got home very late. Must have been midnight.

好吧，继续说 Well, go on.
我在考虑学期结束后不教书了 I'm thinking of leaving the school at the end of the term.
这样啊 Oh!

他要我跟他合资买下，一起经营 And he wants me to go in with him to buy it and run it.
在克里特？ In crete?
我们还在讨论，但也不失为一个机会 We're just talking, but it's an opportunity.
对我和你都是 For me and for you.
你希望我跟你一起去？ You want me to go with you?
我一个人可不想去 I wouldn't go without you.
你完全没跟我提过这件事 You haven't talked to me about this before.
我本来要提的，但一直没办法 I was going to mention it earlier, but I couldn't.
为什么？ Why not?
因为公司要卖掉 Well, obviously with this buyout,
你要当老板什么的… you becoming ceo and everything...
不是，我都还没下定决心要接！ No, but I haven't even made my mind up about that yet!
可不是吗 Exactly.
我就在等你拒绝 I'm waiting for you to say no.
不是吧，安德鲁！ No, Andreas!
就算我不接受这个升迁 Even if I don't take this promotion,
我也会继续待在出版业 I'm still going to stay in publishing.
我就只会这个，到底是… It's all I've ever known. I mean what the...

你第一节课是几点？ When's your first lesson?
10点才开始，但我得先去开教师集会 Not until ten, but I need to be there for assembly.
赶得上的 We'll make it.
-我很抱歉… -我很抱歉… - I'm sorry... - I'm sorry...
不是，我…我不该突然告诉你的 No, I... I shouldn't have just sprang it on you.
你要烦恼的事明明已经很多了 Not when you've got so much on your mind.
我只是有点意外，仅此而已 I'm just a bit surprised, that's all.
安德鲁，如果你不幸福… If you're not happy, Andreas...
我跟你在一起很幸福 I am happy with you.
对，但我会在这里 Yes, but I'm here.
在伦敦，你知道的 我的工作和家乡都在这里… In London. You know, it's my work, it's my home...
天啊！也太塞了吧！ God! This traffic!
听我说，我真的还没有要下任何决定 Look, I'm not making any decisions, I promise.
我只是想先跟你讨论 I just want to talk.
那你就该早点提的 You should've mentioned it earlier.
-今天晚上有空吗？ -有 - You free tonight? - Yes.
我们出去吃晚餐 就是，找个安静的地方 Let's go and have dinner. Somewhere, you know, quiet.
不吃希腊料理 Not Greek food.
我觉得很好 I'd like that.
真是的 Ugh...!
-我在这下车好了 -喔 - I'll get out here. - Oh.
搭地铁比较快 I'll get there faster by tube.
希望你找到不见的那一章 I hope you find your chapter.
-晚上见 -好 - See you tonight. - Yeah.
-嘿，苏珊 -嗨，艾丽斯 - Hey, Susan. - Hi, Alice.
-周末愉快吗？ -愉快，谢谢 - Good weekend? - Yes, thanks.
对了，查尔斯给我这份 《喜鹊谋杀案》的稿子 Uh, this manuscript that Charles gave me, "magpie murders",
-是你影印的吗？ -不是，是洁麦玛 - did you do the photocopying? - No, it was jemima.
她在哪？ Where is she?
我没看到她 I haven't seen her.
我觉得她好像漏了最后一章 I think she might have left out the last chapter.
噢，要我帮你追吗？ Oh! Do you want me to chase it?
好，可以麻烦你吗？查尔斯在不在？ Yes. Could you, please? Is Charles in?
-他在他办公室 -很好 - Uh, he's in his office. - Great.
查尔斯，我真不敢相信 你会这样对我 Charles, I can't believe you did this to me.
怎么可以给我少了最后一章的书稿 You gave me a book without the last chapter.
我懂，那个… I know. Uh, uh...
-先请坐吧 -在你手上吗？ - Sit down, please. - Do you have it?
苏珊，请你先坐下，我… 有不幸的消息要告诉你 Please, Susan, sit down. I've... Something terrible to tell you.
什么事？ What?
艾伦死了 Alan's dead.
死了？ Dead?
稿子我是周末读的 I read the book at the weekend.
我跟你一样读完了 Like you, I got to the last chapter.
却少了最后一章，我就打给艾伦 It wasn't there, so I tried to ring Alan
想问问怎么回事，整个周六和周日 to see what had happened. I must've rung him
我打给他好多次 half a dozen times on the Saturday and the Sunday.
然后昨晚，我在家接到一通电话 And then, last night, I got a call at home.
谁打给你？ Who called you?
他的律师，一个叫沙基德甘的 His solicitor, a man called sajid Khan.
是他发现尸体的 He found him.
天啊，真是太糟了 God, that's awful.
查尔斯，我真的很遗憾 Charles, I'm so sorry.
所以发生什么事了？ What happened?
看起来是艾伦从家中坠楼了 Well, it looks as if Alan fell off that bloody tower of his.
坠楼？ He fell?
律师在电话里是这么说的 That's what he said on the phone.
其实我担心实情可能更糟 Look, I'm afraid it's rather worse than that.
早上我收信时看到了…这个 I was going through my mail this morning and I... I got this.
是艾伦寄的 It's from Alan.
是一封自杀遗书 It's a suicide note.
不会… No...
不会吧，艾伦怎么可能想自杀？ Why would Alan want to commit suicide?
他名利双收，又有伴侣 He was successful. He had a partner.
唉，可能也跟我有点关系 Well, maybe I had a part in it.
周四晚上我跟他共进晚餐 I had dinner with him on Thursday night
你那天去法兰克福了 反正我…我有跟你说过 while you were in Frankfurt. Well, I... I told you.
嗯… Um...
当晚的气氛不是太好，但… It wasn't exactly the cheeriest evening, but...
也许我应该主动问的 如果他都这么打算了… Maybe I should've reached out. If he had this on his mind...
“非常抱歉 "I'm very sorry,
但昨晚的晚餐我状况不太好” "but I wasn't on my best form at dinner last night."
他在向你道歉 He's apologising to you.
那样我更内疚 That makes me feel worse.
“等你读到这封信时一切就结束了 "By the time you read this, it will all be finished.
我这辈子已经活得太成功 "I have achieved great success
也活得够久了” "in a life that has gone on long enough."
-他得了癌症 -要是我早点知道 - He had cancer. - If I'd known that,
也许就会更…我也不知道… perhaps I might have been a little more... I don't know...
宽容一点吧 Forgiving.
所以艾伦才会决定要 赐死艾提克思彭德？ Is that why Alan decided to kill off Atticus pund?
他得了癌症 He had cancer,
所以想带最爱的探员角色一起上路 so he wanted to take his beloved detective with him.
我不知道，他什么都没说 I have no idea. He didn't say anything.
我见到他时他看起来根本没事 He seemed absolutely fine when I saw him.
嗯… Um...
-我得找洁麦玛谈一谈 -为什么？ - I'm gonna talk to jemima. - Why?
稿子是她影印的 She photocopied the manuscript.
我检查过复印机的影印页数了 Well, I checked the page count on the photocopier.
332页 Three hundred and thirty two pages.
和他给我们的页数一样多 It matches what we were given.
所以，那就是艾伦 没有把整本书交出来 So, then Alan didn't give us the whole novel.
我不相信 I don't believe this.
我全部都不相信 I don't believe any of it.
首先我真的很遗憾 First of all, I'm sorry.
我跟他一直合不来，这我承认 I never got on with him, I admit that,
但你失去的是一个朋友 but you've lost a friend.
不只如此 It's more than that.
我知道 I know.
我们的头号畅销书作家没了 Our number-one bestselling author.
城市世界媒体会说什么？ What are cityworld media going to say?
他们肯定不会高兴 Well, they won't be very happy.
但当初是依照库存去评估的 But the valuation was based on the backlist.
八本着作，还有一本未出版新作 Eight books plus one new one.
对，但是新作少了最后一章 Yes, but the new one is missing the last chapter.
没有解谜凶手是谁的侦探小说 A whodunit without the solution.
就算真的出版也是浪费纸 It's not even worth the paper it won't be printed on.
所以现在会怎样？ So, what happens now?
沙福郡警方要过来查案了 The Suffolk police are on their way.
来这里？ Here?
真的太诡异了 It's just so weird.
“我留了一些笔记 方便你了解我的状况 "I have left you some notes with regard to my condition
还有我所下的决定” "and the decision I have made."
-这像是他会说的话吗？ -艾伦很明显变了个人 - Does that even sound like him? - Alan clearly wasn't himself.
是没错，但…自杀？ Yes, but... suicidal?
有可能，你也知道他以前是什么样子 Possibly. You know how he was.
永远都把情绪隐藏得很好 Always good at hiding his emotions.
上面没有说是末期癌症 Doesn't say the cancer was terminal.
他可能接受过治疗了 He could have got treatment.
也可能他不想接受任何治疗 Perhaps he didn't want to go through with any of that.
可是他都跟你吃了晚餐 But he had dinner with you. Why not just tell you
为什么不当面告诉你？ to your face?
洛克警探到了 Detective superintendent Locke is here.
我请他先到会议室稍候 I've put him in the conference room.
谢谢，艾丽斯 Thank you, Alice.
你是什么时候收到这个的？ When did you receive this?
今天早上寄来的 It came in the post this morning.
你最后一次见到康威先生是周四晚上 And you last saw mr Conway on Thursday night.
对，他来伦敦暂住，他有一栋房子 Yes, he stayed over in London. He had a flat.
那么… Well...
谢谢你提供这份文件给我 克罗佛先生 Thank you for bringing this to my attention, mr clover.
当然，这又让案情更复杂了 Of course, it puts a different complexion on things.
你认为这是一起意外？ You assumed it was an accident?
没错 That's right.
夜晚视线不佳，围墙太低 Dark night. Low parapet.
我很意外他居然没装栏杆 I'm surprised he hadn't had a handrail installed.
他是立刻丧命吗？ Was his death instantaneous?
恐怕不是 I'm afraid not.
不是的，根据法医的说法 No, according to the police doctor,
他倒在那里有一阵子 he may have lain there for some time.
他有喝酒吗？ Had he been drinking?
没有 No.
那他很清楚自己在做什么 Then he knew exactly what he was doing,
我就想问他为什么选了这种方式 and I have to wonder why he would do it like that.
我是说，换成你会这么做吗？ I mean, is that how you'd do it?
在周六夜从高楼一跃而下 Jump off a tower on a Saturday night
粉身碎骨躺在草地？ and lie there on the grass with half your bones broken?
为什么不吞安眠药或是上吊？ Why not take sleeping pills or hang yourself?
你有自杀的经验吗？ Have you had experience of suicides?
没有 No.
那你能否告诉我… 这是他本人的笔迹吗？ And perhaps you can tell me - is this his handwriting?
会不会是有人逼他写的？ Suppose somebody made him write it?
为什么要逼他写？ And why would they do that?
-通篇都不像他会说的话 -苏珊 - It doesn't sound like him. - Susan.
-莱伦女士 -请叫我苏珊 - Oh, miss ryeland. - I prefer Susan.
有自杀倾向的人 When people become suicidal,
不一定都会深思熟虑 they don't always think things through.
他们有可能变得不像自己 They're not themselves.
基本上，他们的心态已经不正常了 At a basic level, their state of mind is not normal.
没有什么疑点啊 There's no mystery here.
康威先生得了末期癌症 Mr. Conway had terminal cancer.
你们对他了解多少？ How well did you know him?
-我们合不来 -我怎么一点也不意外呢 - We didn't get on. - Why doesn't that surprise me?
感谢两位联络我，你们… 帮了很大的忙 Thank you for contacting me. You've been, uh... very helpful.
遗书是手写的，但信封却是打字 The letter's handwritten, but the envelope is typed.
多谢 Thanking you.
我不懂你何必对他穷追猛打 I don't know why you had to get at him like that.
-我哪有穷追猛打 -没什么礼貌就对了 - I didn't get at him. - You weren't very polite.
拜托 Oh.
你听我说，查尔斯 Listen, Charles.
我也不是真的在乎 艾伦怎么死的，很抱歉 I don't really care how Alan died. I'm sorry.
我觉得现在该想的是 Right now, I think we should be concentrating
不见的最后一章要怎么办 on what happened to the missing chapter.
谁知道他写了没啊？ How do we even know he wrote it?
我们…这我们不知道 但总是要查个清楚 Well, we... we don't. But we need to find out.
你只想在公司卖掉后叫我接手 You want me to take over after the buyout,
但你跟我一样清楚假如少了这本书 but you know as well as I do that if we don't have this book,
投资人有可能撤资，整个公司就会… the investors could pull out and the whole company could just...
-垮掉 -用字完全正确 - fold. - Exactly the right word
没有生意的出版社就是会这样 for publishers going out of business.
那你想怎么办？ So, what are you gonna do?
我要去沙福郡… I'm gonna go to Suffolk...
把不见的那一章找出来 And look for the missing pages.
艾伦是周四晚上把稿子交给你的 Alan gave you the manuscript on Thursday night.
对 Yes.
但他的初稿都是手写 But he always used a pen for the first draft.
所以？ So?
所以一定有一份手稿 So, there'll be a handwritten draft,
第一版手稿，第二版手稿 笔记，其他副本 first draft, second draft, notes, other copies.
-一定会有什么 -你要住哪里？ - There's got to be something. - Where will you stay?
我妹妹住在伍德布里奇 Uh, I've got my sister in woodbridge.
-她家可以让我住 -好，那你保重 - She can put me up. - All right, take care.
-进度如何再告诉我 -好 - Let me know how you get on. - Yeah.
真不敢相信我终于要看看 他家长怎样了 I can't believe I finally get to see his house.
只是得等到他死了而已 Just had to wait until he was dead.
嗯 Hmm.
嗨，安德鲁，是我，真的很抱歉 Hi, Andreas, it's me. Um, listen, I'm really sorry.
工作上出了很严重的事 Something terrible has happened at work.
别担心，我…我没事 Don't worry. I'm... I'm OK.
我…我现在还没时间解释 I... I just haven't got time to explain now.
我得去沙福郡把不见的那一章找出来 I've got to go to Suffolk to find this missing chapter.
话说，你不是真的打算去克里特吧？ 'Look, you're not really going to crete, are you?
至少给我一两天想想，等我回来 'At least give me a day or two till I get back
我们到时候再讨论 'and we can talk about it then.
好想你，爱你 'Missing you already. Love you.'
