我还是不觉得你应该用倒叙法开头 I just don't think you should start with a flashback.
为什么？ Why not?
首先，这会让人摸不清头绪 Well, first of all it's disconcerting.
（七年前）
时序是往前走的 Time moves forward.
我写的是从1944年到1953年 From 1944 to 1953. That's what I've written.
对，但你的作品 大部分背景都是1953年 Yes, but the bulk of your book takes place in 1953,
我认为 and I think
那是你的读者最习惯的年代 that's where your readers will feel most comfortable.
你又知道我读者的什么了？ How do you know anything about my readers?
艾伦！ Alan!
大卖20万本的人是我 I'm the one who sold 200,000 books.
对，是我帮你卖的 Yes, and I'm the one who's helped you.
我的意思就只是 All I'm saying is,
我们现在已知艾提克思彭德 we already know that Atticus pund
1944被关进纳粹集中营 was in a Nazi prison camp in 1944
因为你在头两本书 就是这么告诉我们的 because you told us so in the first two books.
他懂什么是邪恶，因为亲身经历过 He understands evil because he experienced it.
对，这我完全明白 Yes, and I completely get that,
但是要写他饥寒交迫 凄惨的那一面… but showing him cold and hungry and miserable...
就…就是…没有任何帮助 It... it... It doesn't add anything.
而且读者也不是 为了恐怖元素才买你的书 And all that horror, it's not why people buy your books.
所以大家是为了什么 才买我的书，苏珊？ And why do people buy my books, Susan?
因为他们想知道凶手是谁！ Because they want to know who did it!
没错，这就是我的重点 Well, yes, that's exactly my point.
我花了七个月写出九万字 Seven months of my time, 90,000 words,
难道就为了揭晓原来是管家干的？ just to find out it was the Butler?
艾伦，这没有什么好难为情的 Alan, there's nothing shameful about it.
你的作品读起来非常享受 Your books are brilliant entertainment.
所以只要是严肃、有意义的细节 And anything serious, anything meaningful,
任何与人物背景相关的部份 anything that actually relates to the human condition,
就都不重要了吗？ all that is irrelevant?
你的书是写一个女服务生 Your book is about a waitress who gets murdered
收到一大束玫瑰后被谋杀的故事 after receiving a bunch of roses.
我看不出来有何必要 写一整章奥斯威辛集中营的事！ I don't see how a chapter in Auschwitz helps!
那也许我应该换个编辑了 Well, then maybe you shouldn't be editing it!
他是我们家第一畅销的作者 He was our most successful writer by a mile.
但也是唯一跟我合不来的作者 But he was the only one I didn't get on with.
他的死讯当然让我们很难过 We are of course devastated by his death.
但你们手上有他的新作书稿了 But you have his new book.
对，我们正在准备出版事宜 Yes. We're working on it now.
嗯，只要有这本书和库存那些 Well, as long as we have the book and the backlist,
就不至于影响到我们的协议 there's no issue as far as our deal is concerned.
对我们来说更急迫的是 What's more pressing for us
我们尚未收到你的答复，苏珊 is that we're yet to have a decision from you, Susan.
-我明白 -这我不太确定 - I understand. - I'm not sure you do.
消息已经传开了 The press are already circling.
我们必须发出确切声明 It's important we make a confident statement
不能让人认为内部有歧异 with no suggestion of internal conflict.
没有歧异 There is no conflict.
如果我不想当执行长呢？ What if I don't want to be ceo?
我们会很失望 We'd be disappointed.
但我可以继续做我的资深编辑 But I could stay on in my role as senior editor.
那我们还得外聘执行长 We'd have to recruit a chief executive from outside.
你的职位去留恐怕得由你去跟他谈了 I'd imagine it's something you'd have to discuss with him...
或者是她 Or her.
了解 Right.
我们希望声明越快发出去越好 We'd like to make an announcement imminently,
我们对你有绝对的信心，苏珊 and we have every confidence in you, Susan.
但前提是要先收到你的答复 But we do need to have a decision from you soon.
嗯，当然… Mm. Sure, sure.
“只要有这本书和库存那些” "As long as we have the book and the backlist."
对…我听到了 Yes... I heard.
所以你在沙福郡有找到什么吗？ So, did you find anything in Suffolk?
没有，我跟你说过，东西都被拿走了 No, I told you. It had all been taken.
笔记本，初稿，复印件…全部都是 Notebooks, early drafts, photocopies... the lot.
是被谁… Taken by...
应该就是杀了他的人吧 Well, I presume whoever killed him.
什么？ What?
凶手为了偷走书稿杀他？ They killed him to steal his novel?
我知道，听起来不太合理 I know. It doesn't make much sense.
他的房子，那座格兰庄园 That house of his, Abbey grange -
你最后一次去是什么时候？ when was the last time you saw it?
我大概五、六个月没去沙福郡了 Oh, I haven't been in Suffolk for five or six months.
他改过名字，你知道吗？ He changed the name, did you know that?
本来是叫…呃… 他买下来的时候叫里奇韦厅 It used to be called, uh... Ridgeway hall when he bought it.
是喔 Huh.
《格兰居探案》 The adventure of the Abbey grange.
福尔摩斯短篇 A Sherlock Holmes story.
尤斯塔斯布莱肯豪尔爵士 在窃盗案中遇害了 Sir eustace brackenhall killed during a burglary.
除非…那起窃盗案是假的 Except... It was a fake burglary.
其实真的有点奇怪 It's funny, really.
艾伦从来不算是个柯南道尔迷 Alan was never much of a conan Doyle fan.
-他比较喜欢阿嘉莎克莉丝蒂 -是他偷她的点子吧 - He preferred Agatha christie. - He stole from her.
借用啦 He borrowed.
好喔，就像罗宾汉的金银财宝 也是向富人“借”的 Yeah, like Robin hood "borrowed" from the rich.
我一定要把不见的那一章找出来 I'm gonna find that missing chapter, you know.
我要找出是谁杀了他 I'm gonna work out who killed him.
你确定真的有人杀了他吗，苏珊？ Are you really sure he was killed, Susan?
事到如今你也觉得有点不太可能吧 After all, you must admit it does seem a tad unlikely.
谋杀小说作家…被谋杀 A murder writer... murdered.
跟我说说你约他吃饭 Tell me about the dinner you had with him
他把书稿交给你的那顿晚餐吧 when he gave you the manuscript.
嗯，周四晚上，你在法兰克福 Mm, Thursday night. You were in Frankfurt.
-对，当时怎么了？ -我们去了拉梅颂 - Yeah. What happened? - Well, we went to la Maison.
就是那种会员制餐厅 You know, it's that restaurant club
要先缴一千镑会费 where you pay £1,000 membership fee
才能花钱在那里吃饭 for the privilege of paying to eat there.
餐厅他挑的，不是我 It was his choice, not mine.
他是在餐厅把稿子给你的？ And he gave you the manuscript in the restaurant?
所以我才请他那顿，为了庆祝完稿 That's why I paid. It was a celebration.
本来应该是这样的吧 Or it should have been.
干了，敬你 Down the hatch! Here's to you.
-那个… -没问题，先生 - Thingy... - Right you are, sir.
允许我这么说，您真是容光焕发 Well, you look tremendous if I may say so.
两杯香槟下肚 Two glasses of champagne
再加一瓶哲维瑞香贝丹 and then a bottle of gevrey-chambertin.
我失手了 That was my mistake.
他不爱喝哲维瑞香贝丹？ He didn't like gevrey-chambertin?
不是，他爱死了 Oh, god no, he loved it.
-一瓶要两百镑呢 -哇，抱歉 - Two hundred quid a bottle. - Woah, sorry.
所以是什么失手了？ So, what was the mistake?
我让他喝醉了，你觉得他不让你好过 I let him get drunk. You think you had it bad,
但他对我也是一样糟 but he could be just as nasty with me.
我记得…对了 I remember... ah!
我们聊到书名 We talked about the title of the book.
当时我只知道书名而已 At that stage it was all I knew.
我必须说，打从新作预告我就很喜欢了 I have to say, I liked it from the moment we announced it.
“那个喜鹊谋杀案”，多抢眼！我… "The magpie murders". Very strong! You know, I...
我认为一定稳上畅销排行榜 I think I can see that on the bestseller list.
“喜鹊谋杀案” "Magpie murders".
嗯，什么意思？ Mm, no, I'm sorry?
不是“那个喜鹊谋杀案” 是“喜鹊谋杀案” Not "the magpie murders"! "Magpie murders".
那才是真正的书名 That's the bloody title!
不需要动怒 There's absolutely no need to take umbrage.
书名没有“那个”，我知道 There's no 'the'. I know that.
那就“喜鹊谋杀案” "Magpie murders" it is.
你也知道他喝了酒有多容易暴怒 Well, you know how volatile he could be after a drink or two.
本来就要一发不可收拾了 Things could've turned quite nasty,
结果却发生了奇怪的事 except that just then something rather strange happened.
在那种餐厅 It's not something you'd expect to see
不太可能发生的事 in a restaurant like that.
听起来就像炸弹爆炸一样 It sounded like a bomb had gone off.
白痴 Idiot.
总之，我赶快转移话题 Anyway, I managed to change the subject.
之后都顺顺利利，没啥问题 And from then on, things went very much OK,
散场后艾伦就搭出租车回伦敦住处了 and then Alan went home in a taxi to his London flat.
然后隔天，也就是周五 他写了一封信给你… And the next day, Friday, he wrote you a letter...
为昨晚的举动道歉 apologising for his behaviour,
周六他搭上往沙福郡的火车回去了 and on Saturday he went back on the train to Suffolk.
所以艾伦那边 So as far as Alan was concerned,
他已经给了你完整的书稿啊 he'd given you a complete manuscript.
他的确是这么说的 He certainly didn't say otherwise.
我得再回去沙福郡一趟 I'm going to have to go back to Suffolk.
啊，你愿意的话可以跟我一起去 Well! Uh, you can come up with me, if you like.
我们也要去参加葬礼啊 When we go up for the funeral.
那个混账 Bastard.
我连邀请函都没收到 Didn't even invite me to that.
请问 Excuse me.
这里是谁要下葬？ Uh, who's being buried here?
马格努斯派伊爵士，应该是明天吧 Sir Magnus pye. Tomorrow, I think.
玛丽布莱基思顿应该也葬在这里？ And, uh, I suppose Mary blakiston is buried here, too?
她的墓地在那边 That's her over there.
-你认识她吗？ -大家都认识她 - Did you know her? - Everyone knew her.
她也认识大家 And she knew everyone.
她挺爱管闲事的 A right busybody she was.
现在管不了了 Just a body now.
嗯 Hmm.
死亡之前人人平等，是吧，彭德？ Death, the great leveller. Eh, pund?
是啊，一点也没错 Yes. That is most certainly true.
他是庄园主人，也是地主和开发商 He was the lord of the manor, the land owner, the developer.
而她只是个管家 She was just the housekeeper.
（玛丽布莱基思顿）
还真让人好奇他们有什么关联 You do have to wonder about the connection between them.
我想是很直接的关联 That connection, I think, is straightforward.
他们接连死亡的关联 It is the connection between their deaths
才是我感兴趣的地方 that is of interest to me.
（山姆布莱基思顿，1931-1943年）
我讨厌墓园 Ugh! I hate graveyards.
还好可以离开了 Glad to be getting out of here.
可不是每个人都能选择离开 Not everyone has that choice.
-有什么事吗？ -你是罗伯特布莱基思顿吗？ - How can I help you? - You are Robert blakiston?
-为什么这么问？ -我是艾提克思彭德 - Why do you want to know? - My name is Atticus pund.
彭德？那个名侦探？ Oh, pund? The famous detective?
你不是说你对 萨克斯比艾凡不感兴趣吗 I thought you said you weren't interested in saxby-on-avon.
那是在马格努斯派伊爵士 谋杀案发生之前 That was before the murder of sir Magnus pye.
看来你认为那也是我干的吧？ I suppose you think I did that, too, ey?
彭德先生！您怎么来了？ Mr. pund! What are you doing here?
他来问马格努斯爵士谋杀案的事 He's here about the murder of sir Magnus.
你有邀他进屋了吗？ Have you invited him in?
我在工作 I'm working.
请哈利帮忙顾就好了 Harry can look after the pumps.
“请进吧，彭德先生 "Come in, mr pund.
哈利回到加油机旁 "Harry returned to the pumps,
罗伯特带着彭德到 "while Robert led pund into the flat he occupied
修车厂楼上的住处” "above the garage."
抱歉，我没听到你进来的声音 Sorry, I didn't hear you come in.
不用抱歉啊，你继续读 No, don't apologise! You should carry on reading.
说不定你猜得出凶手是谁 Maybe you can tell me who did it.
上一本我就猜对了 I guessed the last one.
-《艾提克思彭德在国外》？ -是修女干的 - "Atticus pund abroad"? - It was the nun.
没错！ Yes!
回廊里的烛台 With a candlestick in the cloisters. Huh!
目前为止有什么想法吗？ Any thoughts so far?
这个嘛，我才读到第50页 Well, I'm only on page 50,
但我会说… but right now I'd say...
乔伊山德林是我的头号嫌疑犯 Joy sanderling is my number one suspect.
喔，有什么原因吗？ Oh. Any reason?
看起来她最不可能杀人 She's the least likely.
小说不都是这样写的吗？ Isn't that how it always works?
嗯 Mm.
我不认为有什么必要跟你谈 I don't see why we should talk to you.
之前我们去找你，你却置之不理 We came to you for help, and you ignored us.
我能理解你的愤怒，罗伯特 Your anger is quite understandable, Robert.
蒙受杀害母亲的不实指控 To be unfairly accused of the death of your own mother
一定让你很不好受 must have been unpleasant for you.
“不好受”？可以这么说 "Unpleasant"? That's one way of describing it.
所以你为什么不帮忙？ So why wouldn't you help me?
如同我解释过的 Because, as I explained,
我原本并不认为自己能做什么 I did not believe there was anything I could do.
谣传，乡间八卦，它们就像潮汐 Rumour, village gossip, they are like the tide.
是无法挽回的 They cannot be turned back.
但现在马格努斯爵士遇害… But now that sir Magnus has been killed...
没错，就是这件事 给了我来这里的理由 Exactly! Exactly! It gives me a reason to be here.
首先我有几个问题想问你，罗伯特 And first, I have some questions for you, Robert.
-你愿意回答吗？ -有关马格努斯爵士的问题？ - Will you answer them? - About sir Magnus?
有关令堂与马格努斯爵士的问题 About your mother and sir Magnus
还有他们之间的关系 and the relationship between them.
罗伯特？ Robert?
你想知道的我都会说 I'll tell you anything you want to know.
-我没什么好隐瞒的 -谢谢 - I've got nothing to hide. - Thank you.
首先… To begin...
令堂和马格努斯爵士很亲近吗？ Your mother and sir Magnus were close, hmm?
岂只亲近 Oh, they were more than close.
她很敬爱他 She worshipped him.
在她眼中，他不只是个老板 The way she saw it, he wasn't just her boss.
还是个气派的贵族 He was an aristocrat.
庄园地主 Lord of the manor.
我们以前住在农场，后来我爸离开了 See, we used to live on a farm, but when my dad left,
我们就搬进派伊府邸的出租房 we moved into the lodge house at pye hall, so...
几乎等于是他在照顾我们 It was almost like he owned us.
-“我们”是指…？ -我妈，我，还有… - "We..."? - My mum and me and...
我弟弟山姆 My little brother, Sam.
了解，所以你们有三个人 Oh, yes. There were three of you. Hmm.
贝拉 Bella.
来啊 Here girl.
贝拉你太快了，慢一点 Bella, you're too fast. Slow down.
山姆，山姆！ Sam, Sam!
跟上啊，贝拉！ Keep up, Bella!
山姆死了 Sam died.
出意外死的 In an accident.
我很遗憾 Oh, I'm sorry.
可以的话，我希望不要聊这个 I prefer not to talk about it, if you don't mind.
那是我小时候的事了 It happened when I was a child,
和现在的事一点关系也没有 and it's got nothing to do with any of this.
就照你的意思 As you wish.
喂？ Hello?
-是我 -喔 - 'It's me.' - Oh!
你的钥匙呢？ What happened to your key?
-没有手开门 -用牙齿啊 - Hands full. - Use your teeth.
亲一个，希望你还没吃 Mwah! I hope you haven't eaten.
-开了一包佳发蛋糕 -配茶吗？ - A packet of Jaffa cakes. - For tea?
-当午餐 -太随便了 - For lunch. - Irresponsible.
所以沙福郡怎么样？ So, how was Suffolk?
平平 Flat.
你说风景吗？ The landscape?
我是说体验 The experience.
完全找不到消失的那一章 而且人人都讨厌艾伦 No sign of the missing chapter, everybody hated Alan,
看到他那栋房子只是让我眼红而已 and seeing that house just made me jealous.
你有去见他的律师吗？ Did you see his solicitor?
有，怎么这么问？ Yeah. Why do you ask?
我只是在想，如果有什么文件要藏 I was just thinking that if you wanted to hide papers,
也许会藏到律师那里去 you might leave them with your solicitor.
是啊，我也这么想，但不在那里 Yeah, I had the same thought, but they weren't there.
你还是认为稿子被偷了吗？ You still think they were stolen?
我确定是被偷了 Oh, I'm sure they were.
他的笔记也不见了，计算机被清空 His notebook had gone as well, and his computer was wiped.
嗯，酱汁越来越浓了 Mm. The sauce thickens.
有怀疑哪个人吗？ Any suspects?
每个人都很可疑啊 Oh! They're all suspects.
他跟老婆离婚了，跟邻居起纠纷 He divorced his wife, he rowed with the neighbour,
遗产不想留给小男友 he was about to disinherit his boyfriend,
还有他那个妹妹克莱儿… and then there's his sister, Claire...
什么事？ Yes?
不晓得方便说说话吗？ I wonder if I might have a word.
你知道有个角色是以你为原型吗？ Did you know that he based a character on you?
不知道，是什么角色？ No. What character would that be?
-派伊女士？ -我是 - Miss pye? - Yes?
不知道方便说说话吗？ I wonder if we might have a word.
我看得出来她有读过书稿 I could tell that she'd read the manuscript.
完全是在骗我 She was just lying to me.
杀了哥哥，偷走书稿 Kill her brother and steal the book,
这样新书就永远不会出版？ so that it never appears in print?
感觉有点极端 Seems a bit extreme.
是啊，我同意 Yeah, I agree.
喔，这真好喝 Oh! This is good.
这是柯基法里红酒 This is kotsifali.
克里特产的 From crete.
艾伦以前在伍德布里奇 So what was Alan like at woodbridge,
跟你当同事的时候是什么样子？ when you were both teachers?
我跟你说过了 I told you.
不太好亲近，但我跟他也几乎不熟 He wasn't very pleasant, but I hardly knew him.
他的婚礼你有参加啊 You went to his wedding.
那也是梅莉莎邀请我的，不是他 That's because Melissa invited me, not him.
真的很妙，你跟艾伦、梅莉莎还有凯蒂 It's funny to think about you and Alan and Melissa and Katie
早在我出现之前就都互相认识了 all being together way before I came along.
你的表现也不错啊 You didn't do too badly out of it.
做了八本畅销书呢 You got eight bestsellers.
还有你 And you!
马格努斯爵士对我几乎像是父亲一样 Sir Magnus was almost like a father to me.
他会帮我看学校功课 You know, he looked after my schooling,
还帮我在修车厂这里找了一份工作 and he helped me get a job here at the garage.
这间公寓也是他帮忙的 He got you this flat, too.
随工作附加的 It came with the job.
所以你和马格努斯爵士很亲近 和令堂则不然？ So you were close to sir Magnus, but not your mother?
因为她老是不放过我 Well, she'd never leave me alone.
问题就在这里，她永远对我喋喋不休 See, that was the trouble. She was always on at me.
好像完全不理解我也有自己的人生似的 She never seemed to understand that I had a life of my own.
-你为什么要威胁她？ -我没有 - Why did you threaten her? - I didn't.
-但你们有争吵 -那根本没什么 - But you argued. - It was nothing.
我们在酒吧，那时我刚下班 We were at the pub, and I'd just finished work,
她又跑来对我碎念一堆 and there she was, going on at me again.
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？ - Well, I'm not a child anymore. - 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.
那你就找去别人修！可以吗？ Well, then get someone else to do it! All right?
要是真的找不到人 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!
玛丽布莱基思顿是个糟透了的人 Mary blakiston was a horrible woman.
就是这样，我说了 There! I've said it.
我很抱歉，罗伯特，但真的是这样 I'm sorry, Robert, but it's true.
她对你很差劲？ She was horrible to you?
是 Yes.
你来伦敦找我的时候说 When you came to my office in London,
她很反对你跟她儿子的婚事 you told me that she'd been opposed
但又不愿意告诉我原因 to your marriage to her son, but you would not tell me why.
那是很私人的事，彭德先生 It's very personal, mr pund.
没有什么比谋杀 更私人的了，山德林小姐 Nothing's more personal than murder, miss sanderling.
其实原因也很明显 Well, it was the obvious reason.
就是我的肤色 The colour of my skin.
喔 Ugh!
-我很抱歉 -不用 - I'm sorry. - Don't be.
生活在萨克斯比艾凡这样的地方 Living in a place like saxby-on-avon,
人们的态度就是不一样 people have different attitudes.
久了就习惯了 You get used to it.
但是，为什么一定要习惯？ Yeah, why should you have to get used to it?
我是说，为什么大家要这么傻？ I mean why do people have to be so bloody stupid?
希望不会冒犯到你，山德林女士 If it will not offend you, miss sanderling,
能否告诉我这种偏见 please tell me in what way did it manifest itself,
是怎么表现出来的呢？ this prejudice?
她一向都对你很不友善吗？ Was she always hostile to you?
不，完全不是 No! Not at all.
过去她一直对我很好 She'd always been quite kind to me,
但是自从我们把订婚的消息告诉她后 就完全变了样 but that changed the moment we told her we were engaged.
我们七月要在教堂结婚 We're getting married up at the church in July.
不可以 No.
抱歉您说什么？ I'm sorry?
-你别想嫁给我儿子 -妈！ - You're not gonna marry my son. - Mum!
我这是为下一代着想 I'm thinking about future generations.
不能脏了家族的血脉 They can't be tainted.
我不接受 I won't have it.
你不是认真的吧？ You're not being serious.
-怎么可以这么想 -我连谈都不想谈 - You can't think that. - I won't even discuss it.
我警告你，罗伯特 I'm warning you, Robert.
这门婚事我不答应 This marriage will not go ahead.
她坚决反对让我很震惊 It shocked me the way she came out with it.
但我就告诉您吧，彭德先生 But I'll tell you something, mr pund.
我知道罗伯特没有杀了他的母亲 I know that Robert did not kill his mother.
她死的那天早上，我一直跟他在一起 I was will him all morning the day she died.
但就算他现在翻供，跟我说是他干的 But if he turned round now and told me that he'd did it,
是他把母亲推下楼梯 that he pushed her down those stairs,
我也不会怪他 I wouldn't blame him.
我会原谅他 I'd forgive him.
因为我懂他的心情 Because I know how he felt.
真是个可怕的女人 What a simply dreadful woman.
-谁？玛丽布莱基思顿？ -有乔伊山德林这样的媳妇 - Who? Mary blakiston? - She'd be lucky
才是她的福气吧 to have a daughter-in-law like joy sanderling.
天啊 Oh, god.
-怎么了，你还好吗？ -没什么事 - I say. Are you all right? - Oh, no, it's nothing.
只是…头痛而已 It's just... a headache. Huh.
酒吧开着，也许你应该喝点水 The pub's open. Maybe we should get you a glass of water.

那根本不相关 It's got nothing to do with it.

跟我说说旅馆的事 So, tell me about this hotel.
你买了吗？ Have you bought it?
我表亲亚尼斯买了，对 My cousin yannis has, yes.
我以为他破产了 I thought he was completely broke.
他借钱买的 He borrowed the money.
是哪个疯子肯借钱给他啊？ Where did he find someone mad enough to lend it?
你这样说就不公道了 That's not fair.
抱歉 Sorry.
那，旅馆有名字吗？ So, does it have a name?
叫做波吕多洛斯 It's called polydorus.
波吕多洛斯是底比斯的国王 Polydorus was the king of thebes.

你是跟我说你在考虑 You told me you were thinking about it.
没错，我考虑过了，然后做了决定 Yeah, well, I thought. And I decided.
你要我跟你一起去 And you want me to come with you.
对 Yes.
我觉得我没办法 I don't think I can do that.
那里不适合我，安德鲁 It's just not my world, Andreas.
我…我对经营旅馆一窍不通 I... I don't know anything about hotels -
什么床，床单，房客之类的… 你也一样都不懂 beds, sheets, guests - nor do you.
-学就会了 -我们会赔光光 - We'll learn. - We'll go broke.
那也要试了才会知道 We won't know until we try.
天啊，你确定是认真的吧？ God, you're really serious about this, aren't you?
苏珊，我们交往已经… Susan, we've been seeing each other,
多久了，六年？ how long is it now, six years?
我爱你 I love you.
我认为你也爱我 And I think you love me.
但我们需要改变 But we need to change.
我做着不喜欢的工作 I have a job I don't like.
你的工作太耗费心力，又常让你生气 You have a job that consumes you and makes you angry.
我爱我的工作！ I love my job!
也许那就是我们的问题 Well, maybe that's our problem.
哇喔 Whoa.
我都不知道我们原来有问题 Didn't know we had a problem.
现在时机正好 The timing's perfect.

书里的角色都帮你整理得好好的 In books, the characters do it all for you,
最后都会船到桥头自然直 and it all manages to work itself out in the right way.
伊丽莎白和达西 Elizabeth and Darcy.
珍和罗彻斯特先生，喔… Jane and mr Rochester. Oh...
就连推理小说也一样！ Even whodunits!
尤其是推理小说 I mean, especially whodunits.
最后的解谜 The final reveal.
一切都收得服服贴贴 Everything wrapped up.
安心又可靠 Something so reassuring about that.
当然了，最后一章消失的除外 Unless, of course, you are missing the last chapter.
也是，的确有这个例外 Yes, that does put a slight dent in it.
你应该不会告诉我… I don't suppose you can tell me...
我都读了三遍了 I've read it three times.
从头到不算尾巴的尾，还是毫无头绪 Start to not-quite-the-finish, and it's hopeless.
这样也许会有帮助 It might help, perhaps,
就是把事件按照发生顺序排列 to take events in the order in which they occurred.
请说？ Yes?
玛丽布莱基思顿之死，她的葬礼 The death of Mary blakiston, her funeral,
再来是窃盗案 and then the burglary.
对了 Ah, yes!
对于窃盗案我有个想法 I had an idea about the burglary, actually.
请说？ Oh, yes?
其实那根本不是真的入室窃盗吧？ Well, it wasn't actually a real burglary at all, was it?
你看到银饰时就是这么说的 You said as much yourself when you found the silver.
的确 That is true.
你怎么知道会在那里？ How did you know it would be there?
我并不知道 I didn't.
但就算一桩犯罪看似难以理解 But even when a crime appears to be unfathomable,
还是不可轻忽显而易见的线索 one should try not to overlook the obvious.
需要什么吗？ Can I help you?
怀特利先生？ Mr. whiteley?
你怎么知道我的名字？ How do you know my name?
-店名写的 -喔，对！那就是我 - The name on the shop. - Oh, yes! That's me.
呃…你有在找什么吗？ Uh, are you looking for something?
我刚好路过 Oh, I was just passing.
看到橱窗里有个银胸针 I noticed the silver brooch in the window.
是，那件很不错，是古董了 Yes, nice piece. Quite old.
-应该是罗马时期的 -我觉得应该是中古时期 - Roman, I think. - Ah, medieval, I'd say.
我可以看看吗？ Oh, may I see it?
恐怕已经来不及了 I'm afraid you're too late.
我们今天早上卖掉了 We sold it this morning.
有个客人看到后打电话来下订 A customer had seen it and telephoned in.
啊 Ah.
那么你不是该把它从橱窗撤下来吗？ Shouldn't you have taken it out of the window, then?
我忘记撤了 Slipped my mind.
请问一下…你是从哪里进货的？ I wonder if you could tell me, uh... how you acquired it?
抱歉，那是机密 I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's confidential.
我大部分的客户 都要求保有隐私，你明白吧 Most of my customers demand a certain discretion, you know?
有些人是转卖家里的银饰 Selling the family silver.
就算如此，有个男人被谋杀了 Even so, a man has been murdered.
其实是从市集进货的 Actually, it came from a market.
噢，什么意思？ Oh, uh, I'm sorry?
这是我太太洁玛 This is my wife, Gemma.
坎普西阿什的跳蚤市场 A flea market in campsey ashe.
今天刚进，明天就卖掉了 Here today, gone tomorrow.
我们不知道原来的卖家是谁 We've no idea who the seller was.
很抱歉，我们恐怕帮不上忙 I'm sorry. I'm afraid we can't help you.
没关系，谢谢你们 No matter. Thank you.
-那是谁？ -你觉得是谁？ - Who was that? - Who'd you think it was?
-只会是那个艾提克斯彭德啊 -他会来这里？ - Only Atticus bloody pund. - Here?
听说村里来了个侦探 They said there was a detective in the village.
原来就是他 I didn't know it was him.
我跟你说过不要太早放上橱窗的！ I told you it was too soon to put it in the window!
-我们怎么办？ -不知道 - What are we gonna do? - I don't know.
他们说的每一个字我都不相信 I didn't believe a word they said.
太太出面真是可惜了 It's a shame the wife arrived when she did.
-他们很清楚那是偷来的 -是啊 - They knew it was stolen. - Yeah.
还放上橱窗也太傻了 Stupid of them to put it on display.
詹姆斯，我告诉你 I will tell you this, James -
永远不要小看罪犯的愚笨 never underestimate the stupidity of criminals.
我要在书里花一整个章节来阐述这点 I've devoted a whole chapter to it in my book.
-嗯，“罪犯的愚笨” -没错 - Mm. "Criminal stupidity". - Exactly.
你认为窃盗案会和 Do you think the burglary had something to do
马格努斯爵士之死有关联吗？ with the death of sir Magnus?
我想问的是 The question I would ask is,
那真的是一桩窃盗案吗？ was it actually a burglary at all?
你为什么对布兰特那么好奇？ Why are you so interested in Brent?
他只是个园丁 He's only the gardener.
窃盗案发生时他在场 另外两起死亡案发生时也在 He was here at the time of the burglary and at both deaths.
布兰特一直都在 Always it is Brent.
先是玛丽布莱基思顿 First Mary blakiston,
再来是窃盗案 then the burglary...
然后是马格努斯爵士 Then sir Magnus.
我可以告诉你们 Oh, I tell you,
在这里工作对血压很不好 it's not good for my blood pressure working here.
我们就照这个顺序吧，布兰特先生 Let us take them in that order, mr Brent.
玛丽布莱基思顿死去的那天你也在 You were here the day Mary blakiston died.
对 Yes.
我那时就知道一定出事了 I knew something was wrong
电话一直响，却没人接 when the phone kept ringing and nobody answered it.
最后我从窗外往里面看 In the end, I looked in through the window,
就看到她倒在地上 and there she was, lying on the floor.
我叫了医生，但我看得出来她已经死了 I called a doctor, but I could tell she was dead.
到处都是血 There was blood everywhere.
-你们合得来吗？ -不太合 - Did the two of you get on? - Not really.
她一句话也没跟我说过 自以为比我优越 She never talked to me. She thought herself above me,
她和马格努斯爵士，卿卿我我的 her and sir Magnus being all lovey-dovey.
你是暗指他们在谈恋爱吗？ Are you suggesting they were romantically involved?
不是跟她 Not her.
她就是个上了年纪的母老虎 She was an old battle-axe.
他不可能对她有兴趣的 He wouldn't have had any interest in her.
但他倒是很好色，对象非常多 But he did have the roving eye, and there were plenty of others.
例如女仆，厨师… Maids, one of the cooks...
还有达恩利女士 And then miss Darnley.
她是大着肚子离开派伊府邸的 She left here with a little pye in the oven.
-达恩利女士是谁？ -家庭女教师 - Who was miss Darnley? - The governess.
负责照顾弗雷德里克 Looked after Frederick.
可以说马格努斯爵士也“照顾”她了 And you could say sir Magnus looked after her.
窃盗案当晚，你在吗？ Were you here the night of the burglary?
不在 No.
我住在村里 I live in the village.
通常我八点会离开 I usually leave about eight,
而且我完全不知道这件事 and I didn't know anything about it
直到马格努斯爵士渡假结束回来 till sir Magnus got back from his holiday.
是他发现的，当然也告诉我了 He was the one who found out, and he certainly let me know.
这话是什么意思？ What do you mean by that?
意思就是他把我骂了一顿 He blamed me. That's what I mean.
即便那和我一点关系也没有 Even though it was nothing to do with me.
我不在的时候，你本来就要看好家里 You're meant to look after the place when I'm away.
我也不可能一直都在 I can't be here all the time.
看来窃贼是从后面进屋的 It looks like they came in through the back.
有一扇窗户破了 There's a broken window.
你什么都没看到吗？ Didn't you see anything?
没有 No.
你比废物还废物，布兰特 You're worse than useless, Brent.
我受够你了 I've had enough of you.
你给我出去 I want you out of here.
他说要解雇你？ He gave you notice?
不知道，他常说那种话 I don't know. He often talked like that.
我也不懂他是什么意思 I don't know what he meant.
而你当然也无从得知 And of course you aren't able to find out
因为马格努斯爵士当晚就被杀了 because that very night sir Magnus himself was killed.
你是什么意思？ What are you suggesting?
你认为是我干的？ That I did it?
我因为不想被解雇，所以砍了他的头？ That I didn't want to be fired, so I cut his head off?
但是他遇害当时你并不在啊 But you were not here the night of his death.
我说过，我八点就离开了 I told you. I left at eight o'clock.
马格努斯爵士是九点遇害的 And sir Magnus was killed at nine.
对 Yes.
很可惜吧？ What a shame, isn't it?
要是我多逗留一小时 If I'd hung around another hour,
就能帮上你的忙了 I might've been able to help you.
但我什么也没看到 But I didn't see anything.
所以帮不了你 So I can't.
达恩利小姐 Miss Darnley.
好，我要问个有趣的问题 Now... here's an interesting question.
她就是那个被马格努斯派伊爵士 搞大肚子的家庭教师 She's the governess who was made pregnant by sir Magnus pye.
其实她的角色根本没有出场过 She never actually appears in the book,
艾伦康威何必还给她个名字？ so why does Alan Conway even bother to give her a name?
也许她在最后一章出场了 Perhaps she appears in the last chapter.
为什么你就是不直接告诉我呢？ Why can't you just tell me?
什么意思？ Excuse me?
凶手啊！你也在故事里，你一定知道 Who did it! You're in the story, you must know!
你感兴趣的不是马格努斯爵士之死 It's not the death of sir Magnus pye that interests you,
而是艾伦康威之死 it's the death of Alan Conway.
两件事难道没有关系吗？ Aren't they related?
我给你一些建议吧，莱伦女士 Let me give you some advice, miss ryeland.
是，没问题 Uh, yes, all right,
但你可以不要 再称呼我“莱伦女士”了吗？ but can you please stop calling me "miss ryeland".
也太老派了 It's so bloody fifties.
康威先生写了什么不重要 It's not what mr Conway wrote that matters.
你该弄清楚的是为什么他要写 You need to understand why he wrote it.
我要怎么弄清楚？ How do I do that?
当他交出那份书稿 At the moment that he delivered the manuscript,
可能是完整，也可能不完整的书稿 which may or may not have been complete,
他的心境如何？ what was his state of mind?
我不知道 I don't know.
当时他跟查尔斯在餐厅 He was at a restaurant with Charles.
他喝醉了 He was drunk.
应该要从那里开始找起才对 Then that is where you should begin.
谢谢 Thank you.
喔 Oh!
嗨，你好 Hi. Hello.
不知道能不能请你帮个忙 Um, I wondered if you could help me.
我是苏珊莱伦 My name is Susan ryeland,
我是这里一位会员的朋友 and I'm a friend of someone who used to be a member here.
请说？ Yes?
嗯，其实呢 Well, actually, um,
我想找一位 I'd like to talk to one of the waiters
上周四在这里上班的服务生 who was working here last Thursday.
嗯… Um...
他摔破了几个盘子 He dropped some plates.
对，那就是我 Yeah, that was me.
餐厅人手不够，我临时被找来帮忙 They were short-staffed, so I was called in the last minute.
所以才会迟到 That's why I was late.
我从厨房出来，一眼就看到他了 I came in from the kitchen. I saw him straight away.
艾伦康威…混账一个 Alan Conway... bastard.
我都不知道他原来是会员 I didn't realise he was a member.
我呆站在那里 I just stood there.
手上还端着盘子 I was holding some plates,
隔了一段时间才意识到盘子有多烫 didn't realise how hot they were till they burned through.
白痴 Idiot.
你为什么不喜欢他？ Why didn't you like him?
-你说你是他的编辑 -没错 - You say you're his editor. - That's right.
-三叶草图书出版 -对 - Clover books. - Yes.
那么你也是其中一份子了 Well, then you're part of it.
抱歉，什么一份子？ I'm sorry? Part of what?
你自己知道吧 I think you know.
我完全不懂你在说什么 I honestly haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
《喜鹊谋杀案》 "Magpie murders".
对，那是他的新作 Yes, that's his new book.
我知道，消息公布时我就看到了 Oh, I know. I read about it when it was announced.
书名是我想的，我给他的点子 That was my title. I gave him the idea.
那，你和艾伦康威有多熟？ So, how well did you know Alan Conway?
我见过他一次 I met him once.
我是个作家，写过四本小说 I'm a writer. I've written four novels.
推理小说，跟他的有点像 Whodunits - a bit like his.
唯一的差异是我没有赚进百万 The only difference is, I haven't made millions.
一直没有人要出版 I haven't been published.
是不容易 It's not easy.
创意被人偷了，当然不容易 It's not easy when someone steals your ideas.
你在哪里见到他的？ Where did you meet him?
我去上了一堂课，开在威尔特郡 I did a course, a place in wiltshire.
花掉我两百镑 Cost me two hundred quid.
我本来以为会值回票价 I thought it would be worth it.
结果却是我花过最不值的一笔钱 It was the worst money I ever spent.
艾伦康威是客座讲师 Alan Conway was the guest tutor.
“现代政治与亘古敌意肆虐乡间 "The very countryside ravaged by a locust cloud
宛如蝗虫过境 "of modern politics and ancient hatreds.
于是那可怜的狗什么也没有，他呢喃着 "And so the poor dog has none, he murmurs,
却不知道狗就是… "unaware that the dog is, in fact...
他自己” "Himself."
我不太懂，这是在讲什么的？ I'm not sure I get it. What's it about?
讲帝国 It's about empire.
讲特权阶级 About the aristocracy.
讲礼节的崩坏 About the collapse of civility.
老实说 To be honest,
我完全不懂他那串在讲什么 I didn't have a clue what he was on about.
但我还是在休息时间去找他了 But, anyway, I approached him during a coffee break.
-你把你的点子告诉他 -猜对了 - And you told him your idea. - Got it in one.
他看起来是还挺友善的，我们聊了起来 He seemed friendly enough. We got chatting.
我把我的书名“喜鹊谋杀案”告诉他 I told him my title, "magpie murders".
故事是以一首古老童谣为主线 It was going to be based on the old nursery rhyme.
你知道的，“一只喜鹊迎悲伤 两只喜鹊送欢乐”那首 You know, "one for sorrow, two for joy," and so on.
地点设定在乡间，大地主被杀 Set in a village where the local squire gets killed.
-怎么被杀？ -被斩首 - How? - His head's chopped off.
啊 Ah.
结果我看到的新作预告怎么写的？ What did I see when it was announced?
艾提克思彭德系列作第九部 The ninth instalment of the Atticus pund adventures.
书名一样，情节一样，什么都一样 Same title. Same plot. Same everything.
艾伦那天读了多少内容？ How much did Alan read?
只有第一章，但我把我的故事 都跟他说了 Only the first chapter, but I told him all of it.
那你看到新作预告做了什么？ So, what did you do when you saw the announcement?
我还能做什么？ What could I do?
开车去沙福郡找他算账吗？才不是 Drive up to Suffolk and have it out with him? Nah.
他是大作家 He was a big-shot writer.
我只是无名小卒 I was nobody.
有谁会相信我？ Who would've believed me?
我写了信给三叶草图书出版的人 I wrote to someone at clover books,
寄了几个章节过去 sent them some chapters.
结果他们完全不回 They didn't even reply.
你是编辑 You're an editor.
你愿意看吗？我可以寄给你 Would you look at it? I could email it to you.
喔，好啊，当然可以… Uh, yeah. Yes, of course. Um...
我把我的电子信箱给你 I'll give you my email address.
不介意的话，可以告诉我一件事吗？ Um, can you just tell me one thing, if you don't mind?
在你的故事里，凶手是谁？ In your version of the book, who did the murder?
告诉你不就爆雷了吗？ Won't it spoil it for you if I tell you?
我都是反向作业 Well, I always work backwards.
这样我可以专注在文风，所以… That way I can just focus on the style, so...
好吧，凶手是妻子 All right, then. It was the wife.
-弗朗西斯夫人 -呃，是潘尼洛普夫人 - Lady Frances. - Uh, lady Penelope.
对，她跟网球教练在谈婚外情 Yeah. She'd been having an affair with her tennis coach.
他发现了，想把妻子赶出去 He found out about it. He was going to throw her out.
这你也告诉艾伦了吗？ And you told Alan that?
我全都告诉他了，他记了好多笔记 I told him everything. He took loads of notes.
我还以为他这么感兴趣 是想帮忙，那个混账 I thought he was interested cos he wanted to help, the bastard!
谢谢你，李 Thank you, Lee.
你的书稿我会读的，但我无法保证什么 I will read your book, but I can't make any promises.
-你读就是了 -好 - Just read it. - Yeah.
最后还有一件事 Um, one last thing.
你记得你是写信给 三叶草图书公司的谁吗？ Do you remember who you wrote to at clover books?
当然记得，虽然她一直没回我 Of course I remember, although I never heard back from her.
她的名字是洁麦玛 Her name was jemima.
我们到了 We're here!
谢谢 Oh! Thanks!
-嘿，苏珊 -嘿，艾丽斯 - Hey, Susan. - Hi, Alice.
拉纳尔强纳森打来三次要找你 Ragnar jonasson rang you three times.
他想讨论你寄给他的审稿意见 He wants to talk to you about the notes you sent him.
你妹妹凯蒂打来两次，要你回电 Your sister Katie rang twice, wants you to call her back,
还有史蒂芬说不能参加水磨石的活动 and Steven can't make the waterstones launch.
洁麦玛在哪里？ Where's jemima?
你没听说吗？她走了 Well, haven't you heard? She's gone.
你说“走了”是什么意思？ What do you mean, "gone"?
她提了离职，已经走了 Well, she's handed in her notice. She's left.
-你知道原因吗？ -不太清楚 - Do you know why? - Not really.
她本来就不太喜欢这里 No, she didn't much like it here.
薪水太少吧，我知道她有在找新工作 It was the money. I know she was looking around.
你有她的电话吗？ Do you have a number for her?
是为了消失的最后一章吗？ Is this about the missing chapter?
一部份是吧，对 Well, partly, yeah.
查尔斯应该有 I think Charles has it.
他也一直想找她 I know he's been trying to reach her, too.
好 Right.
你应该没有收到一个 You never saw a submission
李杰弗里寄来的稿子吧？ from a man called Lee jaffrey, did you?
嗯，对这名字没印象 Mm, name doesn't ring a bell.
那书名也许有印象 Well, the title might.
-《喜鹊谋杀案》？ -嗯 - "Magpie murders"? - Mm.
-还满巧的 -嗯… - That's a bit of a coincidence. - Well...
如果你相信巧合的话啦 If you believe in coincidence.
喔 Huh! Oh.
-又是你妹妹打来的 -让她留语音信箱 - Oh. It's your sister again. - Let it go to voicemail.
“嗨，我是苏珊莱伦 'Hi, you've reached Susan ryeland.
请留言” 'Please leave me a message.'
请问一下 Excuse me.
我找一位麦克斯莱伦，他是我爸爸 I'm looking for Max ryeland. He's my father.
-他现在… -他在休息 - Is he... - He's resting now.
但状况还是很不乐观 But he's still very ill.
-我可以去看他吗？ -当然可以 - Can I see him? - Yes, of course.
他在里面吗？ Is he in there?
爸 Dad.
你感觉怎么样？ How are you feeling?
苏珊？ Susan?
不，爸爸，苏珊不在 No, daddy. Susan's not here.
我是凯蒂 It's Katie.
我要找苏珊 I want to see Susan.
查尔斯… Charles, uh...
我有话跟你说 I need to talk to you.
你知道艾伦的《喜鹊谋杀案》 Did you know that Alan plagiarised "magpie murders"
-是剽窃其他作家的作品吗？ -什么？ - from another writer? - What?
对方应该不太算是作家 Well, he wasn't exactly a writer.
他偷了一个服务生的点子 He stole the idea from a waiter
那个服务生就在 你带他去吃饭的餐厅工作 who worked at that restaurant where you took him for dinner.
你怎么知道？ How do you know?
我跟他见过面，谈过话了 Well, I've seen him. I've spoken to him.
喔，我的天 Oh! Oh, my god.
你还不打算放弃啊？ You're not going to let this go, are you?
查尔斯，我很认真 Charles, this is serious.
-他们是在写作课认识的 -他叫什么名字？ - They met on a writer's course. - What's his name?
-李杰弗里 -他的作品好吗？ - Lee jaffrey. - Is his book any good?
我是有读了前面几页… Well, I've read the first couple of pages...
喔，还有结局 Oh, and the ending,
乱成一团，无可救药 which is completely muddled and doesn't help at all,
回答你的问题，写得糟透了 and no, in answer to your question. It's awful.
但故事情节确实很类似 But the plot does have a lot of similarities.
他连艾伦住哪里都知道！ He knew where Alan lived!
你怎么知道的？ How do you know that?
他自己跟我说的！ Because he told me!
我还能怎么办？ What could I do?
开车去沙福郡找他算账吗？才不是 Drive up to Suffolk and have it out with him? Nah.
-他是大作家 -白痴 - He was a big-shot writer. - Idiot.
我只是无名小卒，有谁会相信我？ I was nobody. Who would've believed me?
他知道艾伦住在沙福郡 He knew Alan lived in Suffolk,
而且那是会员制餐厅 一定查得到他的住址 and it's a members' club, so they must've had his address.
你该不会认为是他去了… Well, you don't think that he went...
你有跟洁麦玛谈过吗？ Have you spoken to jemima?
没有，嗯… Ah, no. Um...
我留了语音消息给她 I left a message on her voicemail,
今天早上收到她的电子邮件 and I got an email from her this morning.
喔 Oh, um...
“我不知道总共有几页 "I don't know how many pages there were,
但是我确定没有少印 "but I'm sure I didn't miss any.
我每次都会核对 "I always checked the page count
复印机的页数记录…” "against the dial on the machine..."
感觉不像是她会犯的错 It wouldn't have been like her to make a mistake.
她办事一直都很让人放心 She was always very reliable.
那她为什么离职？ Why did she leave?
找到新工作了 She got another job.
-什么，你就这样让她走吗？ -我也留不住她 - What, and you just let her go? - I couldn't really stop her.
页数的事，你相信她吗？ Do you believe her about the pages?
也只能信了吧 I think we have to.
-好吧 -明天？早上九点？ - Yeah. - Tomorrow? 9 a.m.?
艾伦的葬礼 Alan's funeral.
我以为我们要一起过去 I thought we were driving up together.
-对，明天见 -好吧 - Yeah. See you then. - All right.
（苏珊）
（未接来电：苏珊）
“我是安德鲁，目前不方便接听电话 'This is Andreas. I'm not here at the moment.
请在哔声后留言，谢谢” 'Please leave a message after the beep. Thank you.'
喂，是我，嗯… Hello. It's me. Um...
我现在自己一个人… I'm here on my own, and...
觉得有点悲惨 Feeling a bit miserable.
要是我们之前有更…认真地谈过就好了 I wish we could've talked a bit more... constructively.
听我说，拜托不要… Look, please don't...
克里特的事拜托不要下任何决定 Don't make any decisions about crete.
我是说，不要… I mean, don't...
不要上飞机 Don't get on a plane.
我需要多一点时间 I just need a bit more time
才能考虑清楚，然后… to get my head round it, and then...
也许，我…我也不知道，也许… You know, maybe, I... I don't know, maybe...
我们会有办法的 We could make it work.
总之我…我今晚在家，所以… Anyway, i'm... I'm in tonight, so...
来找我吧 Why don't you come over?
嗨，嗨 Hi. Hi.
-凯蒂，我很抱歉… -爸中风了 - Katie, I'm sorry... - 'Dad's had a stroke.'
啊…是喔 uh, ah... right.
-嗯… -他在伊普斯维奇医院 - Um... - 'He's in Ipswich hospital.
我问过医生了，他现在很虚弱 'I've spoken to the doctors. He's very weak.
要是再发生一次，他就… 'They think if he has another one, then he...
他可能会撑不过去 'He might not make it.'
喔… well...
真的很抱歉，嗯… I'm really sorry. Um...
他想见你 'He wants to see you.'
为什么？ why?
你觉得是为什么？ 'Why do you think?'
不…不要，我很抱歉，凯蒂 no, no... No, I'm sorry, Katie.
我已经跟你说过我不想见他了 I've already told you I don't want to see him.
可是我觉得你应该来见他 'Yeah, but I think you should.'
凯蒂！他抛弃我们，你，我，还有妈 Katie! He walked out on us. You, me, and mum.
我们还那么小，我都30年没见到他了 We were children. I haven't seen him for thirty years.
为什么现在就一定要见？ Why would I want to see him now?
做个了结 'For closure.'
-我才不欠他什么了结！ -不是给他，是给你！ - I don't think I owe him that! - 'Not for him, for you!'
所以你认为我需要了结是吗？ oh, you think I need it, do you?
不，我…很抱歉，凯蒂… No, i'm... I'm sorry, Katie. I...
我不想见他 I don't want to see him.
-我不见他！ -可是… - I won't! - 'Ugh.'
抱歉，抱歉… sorry, sorry, sorry!
-不忠… -喔 - Infidelity... - Oh!
我常惊叹于谋杀调查中 It's often struck me that in a murder investigation,
涉及不忠的比例之高 it's remarkable how often infidelity has a part to play.
现实生活中，很少有什么事 There are in reality very few reasons
能让一个人想杀了另一个人 why one person will set out to kill another,
但只要嗅到背叛的气息 but the sense of betrayal,
被破坏的信任 the destruction of good faith,
那就可能致命了 mm, that can be deadly.
我现在对谋杀调查不感兴趣 I'm not interested in the murder investigation right now.
你想知道是谁杀了马格努斯派伊爵士 You wish to know who killed sir Magnus pye.
反正你又不告诉我，那我就先睡了 Well, you're not gonna tell me, so I'm gonna go to bed!
我会建议你小心为上，莱伦小姐 I would advise you to be careful, miss ryeland.
背叛最是伤人 Betrayal hurts.
我受够了，我跟你说我受够了！ I've had enough! I'll tell you I've had enough!
给我收敛一点，你这女人 Get a grip on yourself, woman.
-绝不！ -老天！ - Never! - Oh, for god's sake!
你怎么可以这样？你让我反胃！ How could you? You disgust me!
我什么都没做 I did nothing.
你把我当成笑柄 You've made a laughing stock out of me.
有谁不知道你那肮脏下流的婚外情 Everyone knows about you and your filthy affairs.
你这差劲的东西 You're like a rutting goat.
真恨不得当初嫁的不是你！ I wish I'd never married you!
当年你看到这房子可不是这样说的 That's not what you said when you saw the house,
更别提这块地，还有给你的头衔 the land, the title.
才不呢，派伊夫人 Oh, no! Lady pye.
对你来说怎么可能够了？ You couldn't get enough of it.
你总有一天会后悔莫及，马格努斯 One day you'll go too far, Magnus.
我发誓，总有一天会一刀捅了你 One day, I swear to god, I'll put a knife in you,
就算要以死谢罪也无妨！ and I won't care if I hang for it!
