——请出示车票。 ——有个女人被掐死了，我看见了。 - Tickets, please, - A woman has been strangled,
——对不起，您是说？ ——有个男人在那列火车上掐死一个女人。 - Pardon? - A man strangled a woman in a train,
——我从窗口看见的！ ——掐死了？ - I saw it out there! - Strangled?
是的，掐死了。 你得做些什么，马上。 Yes, strangled, You must do something,
我？呃…… Me? Well...
女士，您会不会是 打了个盹、做了个噩梦？ Madam, don't you think you had a nap and maybe had a bad dream?
小伙子，我可不是在做梦， 我看见了。你打算怎么办？ Young man, I was not dreaming, What are you going to do about it?
嗯……还有五分钟我们 就到布拉克汉普顿站了。 Well... we'll be in Brackhampton in about five minutes,
——我会尽快向上汇报的。 ——多谢。 - I'll report it then, - Thank you,
——请留下姓名、地址好吗？ ——好的。 - Can I have your details? - Of course,
简·马普尔小姐。 Miss Jane Marple,
——马普尔？ ——马普尔。 - Marple? - Marple,
老牧场路。 Old Pasture Lane,
——米尔切斯特。 ——米尔切斯特，好的。 - Milchester, - Milchester, I see,
明白了，马普尔小姐， 我会向站长汇报的…… I'll report it to the stationmaster...
——好的，请务必汇报。 ——谢谢您。 - Yes, please do, - Thank you,
真是个噩梦。 A bad dream indeed,
没事，露西， 我来开门。 All right, Lucy, I'll answer that,
——早上好，女士，我…… ——今天不行。 - Good morning... - Not today,
克拉多克警巡， 郡警察局刑警。 Inspector Craddock, County ClD,
哦，真抱歉。 请进吧，警巡。 Oh, I am so sorry, Do come in, lnspector,
最近两天的 报纸我都翻遍了， I've been going through all the papers for the last two days
谋杀案的事 只字未提。 and not a word about the murder,
我想警方可能 要求媒体暂时保密。 I suppose the police asked the press to say nothing for now,
请坐好吗。 Do sit down,
让凶手误以为自己很安全， 然后再来个突然袭击！ Lull the murderer into a false sense of security, then pounce!
哦！ What's that?
怎么了？ Oh, how stupid of me, I am so sorry,
哦，我真傻。 真是太抱歉了。
露西！ 给你来点茶怎么样？ Lucy! You will have some tea, won't you?
——哦，呃…… ——请给警巡上茶。 - Oh... - Tea for the lnspector, please,
好的，小姐。 Yes, ma'am,
那么，你们 抓住他了吗？ Well now, have you got him?
嗯，我…… 是这样…… Well, l... that is...
我们得出的结论是， 您在火车上看到的实际上是…… ,, we've come to the conclusion that what you saw on the train was...
嗯，是一男一女…… ,, a man and a woman...
没错，我 是这么说的。 Yes, as I said,
我是说……他们也许 是在“欢度蜜月”？ I mean... perhaps they were honeymooners?
警巡，我确实是个 所谓的老处女。 Inspector, I may be what is termed a spinster,
但是谋杀案和 “欢度蜜月”我还分得清。 but I do know the difference between horseplay and murder,
是啊，马普尔小姐， 但是所有火车上都彻查过了， Yes, Miss Marple, but there's been a full search of every train
而且也没有医院 收治过这样的妇女。 and no hospital has treated any such woman,
她是个金发女郎， 穿的是毛领外衣。 She was blonde, with a fur collar coat,
没有发现这样的女人上下车， 独行的或与人同行的都没有。 No such woman was seen getting on or off a train alone or accompanied,
当然不会有， 她已经死了！ Of course not, she was dead!
凡是能做的搜寻工作 我们都做了——一无所获。 The tracks were searched for the whole length of the line - negative,
哦，这么说 你是不相信我？ Oh, so you don't believe me?
我不是这个意思。 I didn't mean to imply that,
——你就是。 ——真的不是，我…… - You did, - Not at all,
——那你是什么意思？ ——我…… What then?
我向你保证，马普尔小姐，如果 有个女人在人来人往的列车上被杀害， A woman cannot be murdered on a busy train
我们不可能一点 痕迹也找不到。 without our finding out about it,
我想你的意思 非常清楚，警巡。 I'm sure you mean well, lnspector,
但是，如果你认为我会让所有人都把我当成 一个精神错乱的老太婆而坐视不理， but if you imagine that I am going to sit back
and let everybody regard me as a dotty old maid,
那你就大错特错了。 you are very much mistaken,
再会！ Good day!
我很抱歉，斯坦顿太太， 弗尔肯·史密斯的新书《衣帽架》， I'm sorry, The Hatrack Hanging, Falcon Smith's latest,
我们还没有到货。 we haven't received our copy yet,
效率真差。 Plain inefficiency,
——到货了马上通知我。 ——当然，斯坦顿太太。 - Let me know the moment it comes in, - Of course, Mrs Stainton,
——哦，早上好，马普尔小姐。 ——早上好，斯丁格先生。 - Good morning, Miss Marple, - Good morning, Mr Stringer,
早上好，希尔达。 Good morning, Hilda,
请稍等…… One moment...
《衣帽架》， 我帮你留下了。 ,, The Hatrack Hanging, I've been keeping it for you,
——斯丁格先生，你说我是个不靠谱的人吗？ ——当然不是。 - Would you say I am unstable? - Certainly not,
——心智完全健全？ ——绝对健全…… - In full possession of my faculties? - Absolutely...
——不会沉溺于幻觉？ ——怎么会呢。 - Not given to hallucinations? - No,
谢谢你， 斯丁格先生。 Thank you, Mr Stringer,
——警察认为我精神错乱了。 ——什么？ - The police think I'm dotty, - What?
很显然，我看到的只是一个男人和 一个女人在学习享受夫妻生活。 Apparently, I saw a young man and woman
in the throes of connubial bliss,
明白了。如果我是你，马普尔小姐， 我会写信给郡警察局长。 If I were you, Miss Marple, I would write to the Chief Constable,
斯丁格先生，这些年 我们读了多少侦探小说？ Mr Stringer, how many detective novels have we read over the years?
数不清了。 几百本吧。 Impossible to say, Certainly hundreds,
是啊，那我们是不是 对犯罪心理有了一定的认识？ Yes, which gives us a certain knowledge of the criminal mind?
毫无疑问。 Most assuredly,
那好，我们就试试看 把认识付诸实践吧。 Well, this is where we put that knowledge to the test,
——我们？ ——是啊，我们！ - We? - Yes, we!
明明已经到货了！ So it has come in!
哦，是吗？ Oh, has it?
好啦，我想我 是第一个预定的。 Well, I think I have first call,
我想你不会喜欢的，希尔达。 太明显了，当然是母亲杀的人。 You won't like it, Too obvious, The mother did it, of course,
你怎么可能知道？ 这本书刚到货。 How do you know? It's just come in,
福尔肯·史密斯的书都一样。 你知道，他是个弃儿。 It always is with Falcon Smith, A deprived child, you know,
我准备了烤饼做茶点，斯丁格先生， 如果你愿意来用茶的话。 Crumpets for tea, Mr Stringer, if you care to join me,
我当然愿意， 马普尔小姐。 Indeed I would, Miss Marple,
啊，好了， 那我们开始吧。 Ah, yes, here we are,
我算过了，5点整开往布拉克汉普顿的快车 追上我坐的那趟车，大概是在这个位置。 I calculate the five o'clock express to Brackhampton overtook my train
somewhere about there,
你是怎么算的？ How can you be sure?
查票员说过，还有五分钟 就到布拉克汉普顿了。 The ticket collector said five minutes to Brackhampton,
他来的时候是谋杀案 发生一分多钟以后。 He came in more than a minute after the murder,
所以就该是距离布拉克汉普顿六分钟 车程的位置，速度算它30英里每小时。 So that makes it six minutes before Brackhampton at, say, 30 mph,
那么…… 就该在这里附近！ So... about there!
你是说尸体， 马普尔小姐？ The body, Miss Marple?
抛尸地点应该就是 这里到布拉克汉普顿之间。 That was thrown from the train between here and Brackhampton,
——可是警察并没有找到。 ——当然找不到。 - The police found nothing, - Of course not,
凶手在搜查之前 就去过了，把尸体藏好了。 The murderer returned before the search and disposed of the body,
我的天，警察 应该再去调查一下。 By Jove, the police will want to investigate now,
哦，他们说过， 不会再调查了。 They say there is no investigation,
——当然要调查，应该再搜查一次…… ——是的，但是我们得自己去搜查。 - Surely, a fresh search... - Yes, but we will conduct our own,
——呃？ ——是的，斯丁格先生。 - Eh? - Yes, Mr Stringer,
我建议你明天吃一顿 丰盛的早餐，“波洛先生”。 I recommend a hearty breakfast tomorrow,
我们俩一大早 就要出门走走！ You and I are going to take an early morning walk!
（告示：英国铁路， 入侵者将被起诉）
在这儿附近 一定能发现什么。 There must be something somewhere,
如果一具尸体被扔出火车， 不可能一点痕迹也没有。 A body can't be thrown out of a fast-moving train without some trace,
马普尔小姐，如果我们在这里 逗留太久，肯定会被抓起来的。 If we linger here much longer, we shall certainly be apprehended,
哦，胡说！没有人会 注意两个“铺路工人”。 Nonsense! No one will give two tracklayers a second glance,
我觉得我们的 伪装还不够。 I'm not convinced our disguises are adequate,
一只鞋，一小块布， ……不知什么东西。 A shoe, a bit of cloth... something,
我们的时刻表 可能已经过期了。 Our timetable may have been out of date,
不过我知道， 7:15那趟车还有。 but I'm sure the 7:15 is still running,
——很可能。 ——车来了可就危险了。 - Very possibly, - It could be most dangerous up here,
的确。 Undoubtedly,
马普尔小姐！ Miss Marple!
——马普尔小姐！ ——什么事？ - Miss Marple! - Yes?
你在那儿啊！ 我想我听到什么声音了。 There you are! I think I heard something,
我想我找到什么线索了。 I think I've found something,
真的？ Really?
这很像是火车掉下来什么 东西留下的痕迹，你说呢。 Consistent with something having been dumped from a train,
如果就是尸体的话， If it was the body,
应该会滚下来， 落在这堵墙边。 it would roll down and finish up against this wall,
那现在哪儿去了呢？ Then where is it?
斯丁格先生， 这就是问题所在。 That, Mr Stringer, is the question,
有可能被埋掉了。 It could be buried,
得找一把锄头或者铲子。 You'd need a pick or a shovel,
不，这里可不是 理想的藏尸地。 No, this is hardly an ideal spot for disposing of a body,
除非…… Unless...
我想这是从她的 毛领子上蹭下来的。 From her fur collar, I think,
斯丁格先生，帮我一把， 让我上去看看好吗？ Mr Stringer, will you give me a leg up?
——真是的，马普尔小姐，我…… ——拜托了，斯丁格先生。 - Really, Miss Marple, l... - Please, Mr Stringer,
哦，不对！ No, no!
手臂握成环。 Make a stirrup,
好了。来吧。 小心！准备好了吗？ That's it, Come on now, Careful! Are you ready?
——双手抓紧！ ——抓紧了！ - Lnterlock your fingers! - They are interlocked!
——嗯，你准备好了吗？ ——好了……上！ - Well, are you ready? - Yes... up!
太棒了！ Magnificent!
下！ Down!
——多可怕的人。 ——多可怕的狗！ - What a frightful man, - What a frightful dog!
马普尔小姐， 直觉告诉我该撤了。 Miss Marple, prudence demands a retreat,
我敢肯定，尸体 就在这堵墙后面。 I am convinced the body is on the other side of this wall,
这是安肯索普家族府邸吧？ That's the Ackenthorpe Hall Estate?
我知道。很符合。 I know, Perfect,
他们府上的人可以 很轻易地移动尸体， Easy enough for someone from the house to get the body
并藏在什么地方。 and dispose of it in the grounds,
你是说他们家里的某个人？ Do you mean one of the family?
是的，也可能是某个仆人—— 如果他们有仆人的话。 Yes, or one of the servants - if they have any,
仆人…… 我在想…… Servants... I wonder...
马普尔小姐，不管你想什么， 不要，不要，不要！ Miss Marple, whatever it is, no, no, no!
斯丁格先生， 我们撤吧，暂且撤退。 Mr Stringer, we will withdraw temporarily,

我当时决定忘记这场婚姻。 但是如今我来到了英格兰， I decided it was best to forget the marriage, but I'm coming to England

我本以为埃德蒙 还没结婚就遇难了。 I thought Edmund was killed before they married,
——我们都是这么以为的。 ——那你现在怎么想？ - That's what we all thought, - What's on your mind then?
你还不明白吗？那个 被掐死的女人，一定就是玛汀。 Don't you see? The strangled woman, it must have been Martine,

你瞧，家族府邸以及家族 财产产生的收入归他所有。 The house and the income from the family fortune are his,
但是他却不能够 动用家族财产本身。 but he can't touch the fortune itself,
——这是第一点。 ——然后呢？ - That's the first point, - Yes?
第二点就是，在他死后， 家族财产将传给他的子女， The second point is that the fortune goes to his children on his death,
——即埃玛、塞德里克、哈罗德和埃尔伯特。 ——明白。 to Emma, Cedric, Harold and Albert,
遗嘱上还有两个名字， 伊迪丝和埃德蒙，他们都已去世了。 Two of the others named in the will, Edith and Edmund, are already dead,
嗯，其他人的份额增加不少啊。 Much more for the rest,
小亚历山大是伊迪丝的儿子， 可以拥有她那一份。 Young Alexander, Edith's son, gets her share,
那么孩子的父亲伊斯特利呢？ What about his father?
只有在婚后无嗣的情况下， 女婿或儿媳才能享有一份遗产。 Next of kin only get a share if there's no issue of a marriage,

我爱上了埃玛，警巡。 我想跟她结婚。 I'm in love with Emma, lnspector, I want to marry her,
我对她说了，她 应该把这件事告诉你。 I told her she should tell you about this,
但是你没有坚持？ You didn't insist?
是的，这事对我、对我们俩很重要， 她应该自己下定决心。 No, it was important to me, to us, that she made up her own mind,

嗯，没事，谢谢， 伊斯特利先生。 Yes, perfectly, thank you,
你有什么需要吗？ What is it you want?
嗯，我想过来拿老头子的 睡前酒，省得你多跑一趟。 I thought I'd take up the old boy's night cap and save you the trouble,
你想得太周到了。 已经准备好了。 That's kind of you, It is ready,
（睡前酒的主要成分是酒、 奶和糖浆，作用是助眠）
我想是暴风雨的关系。 A storm, I expect,
供电不太稳定， 这府上什么都不太稳。 The electricity supply is rather shaky, like the rest of the place,
——你的手也不太稳，是不是。 ——没有，哪里。 - You're a bit shaky too, aren't you? - No, not at all,
——谢谢你。 ——谢谢。 - Thank you, - Thank you,
哦，天哪！ 你在干什么？ Oh, my goodness! What are you doing?

你到这儿的第二天， 尸体就被发现了。 The day after you arrived, the body was discovered,
——是你发现的对吗？ ——你怎么会这么想？ - You found it, - What makes you think that?
因为太吻合了。 It fits and so neatly,

我向你保证，打电话 给警察的不是我。 I am not the person who telephoned the police,
——不是你？ ——不是。 - You're not? - No,
你是谁？ 你来这儿干什么？ Who are you? What are you doing here?
我已经告诉你了。 I have already told you,
我会密切关注你的， 马普尔小姐……简。 I'm going to watch you very closely, Miss Marple... Jane,

埃尔伯特， 去看看埃尔伯特…… Albert, See to Albert...
亚历山大，打电话 叫医生。快！ Alexander, call the doctor, Quickly!
对他我无能 为力了，警巡。 There was nothing I could do for him,
其他人呢？ How are the others?
嗯，埃玛、塞德里克、哈罗德 和伊斯特利的症状都很轻。 Emma, Cedric, Harold and Eastley have had only minor effects,
老头子也会好起来的， 他是个顽强的老家伙。 The old man will be all right, He's a tough old bird,
他们最晚明天 早上就会康复了。 They will recover by morning,
——病因都毫无疑问？ ——是的。 - No doubt about the cause? - No,
——他们都被下了毒。 ——好的……谢谢你，医生。 - They were all poisoned, - Well... thank you, Doctor,
昆珀！昆珀！ Quimper! Quimper!
是哈罗德——我真没想到， 原来他的嗓门儿才是最大的。 Harold - I might have expected him to bellow the hardest,
鸡汤就剩这么多了。 This is the last chicken stock,
——好了吗？ ——差不多了。 - Finished? - Just about,
马上送去实验室。 今晚就这样吧。 See that stuff gets to the lab, That's it for tonight,
怎么样，马普尔小姐？ Well?
蘑菇汤、咖喱鸭、 米饭和苹果派。 Mushroom soup, curried duck and rice and apple pie,
谢谢。 Thank you,
——蘑菇汤是罐头的？ ——当然不是。 - Mushroom soup out of a can? - Certainly not,
半磅蘑菇，鸡汤， 牛奶，淀粉，黄油， Half a pound of mushrooms, chicken stock, milk, flour,
柠檬汁， 香草少许…… Iemon juice, a touch of herbs...
唔，会不会是蘑菇？ Hmm, Mushrooms?
蘑菇汤我自己 也喝了——好喝极了！ I had some of the soup myself - superb!
哦，我毫不怀疑！ 那苹果派呢？ Oh, I'm sure! The pie?
恐怕我从来抗拒不了 自己做的派，警巡。 I'm afraid I never can resist my own pie, lnspector,
当然，其他人也是。 Anybody else's, of course,
——那就是咖喱鸭有问题？ ——说对了。 - The curry? - Exactly,
当然，味道也不错。 但是你知道米饭……会让人发胖…… Good, of course, but rice you see... fattening...
而且我已经吃了苹果派…… and as I was having the pie...
鸭子是哪儿来的？ Where did the duck come from?
哦，鸭子…… 是哈罗德先生打来的。 Oh, those... Mr Harold shot them,
他好像很喜欢杀戮。 He seems to be rather fond of killing things,
亚历山大那孩子 好像也没有碰咖喱鸭？ Alexander doesn't seem to have had any curry either?
是的，我本以为他会 喜欢的。古怪的孩子。 No, I thought it would appeal to him, Curious child,
嗯，你做菜的时候 有人进过厨房吗？ Well, did anyone enter the kitchen while the cooking was going on?
我在的时候没有。但你 知道，我还有别的事要去做。 Not while I was there, I do have other duties, you know,
那么任何人 都可能进来过。 Anyone could have come in,
六个人被下了毒…… 只有一个人死了。 Six people are poisoned... only one dies,
我也在想 这个问题，警巡。 I'm thinking about that too, lnspector,
请原谅，长官， 郡警察局长捎来口信， Message from the Chief Constable,
——他在等你的汇报。 ——好的。 - He's waiting for your report, - All right,
——他要你当面汇报，长官。 ——准备好车，我马上就来。 - In person, sir, - Get the car, I'll be a minute,
好的。 Very good,
我想这两件谋杀案 是有关联的，你说呢？ I think the two killings are connected, don't you?
是的，我同意。 Yes, I do,
我们必须搞清楚是谁 偷了那个粉盒，马普尔小姐。 We've got to find out who has that compact,
眼下我只能 搜查一个人的房间。 I've only been able to search one room,
——哦，谁的？ ——很不幸，埃尔伯特的。 - Oh, whose? - Unfortunately, Albert's,
哦！ Oh!
——马普尔小姐，我得走了。 ——哦，好的，我明白。 - Miss Marple, I have to go, - Oh, yes, I know,
警察的活儿永远做不完。 A policeman's work is never done,
女人也一样。 Nor a woman's,
我想对你说， 请务必小心。 I was going to say, please be careful,
你有了任何想法， 都可以来找我分享。 If you think of anything, do take me into your confidence,
（书名：《完美烹饪》 这本书是真实的）
实验室的小伙子们查出来了， 咖喱里有砷化物（砒霜）。 The lab boys turned it up as arsenic in the curry,
剂量不大，只会导致 肚子疼。并不足以致命。 Not a lot, just enough for stomach aches, Not enough to kill,
——那么埃尔伯特另外还服毒了？ ——是的，可为什么要给所有人下毒呢？ - So Albert had an extra dose? - Why poison the others at all?
如果凶手就是家庭成员之一， 那么他自己也必须中毒才行。 If the poisoner is a member of the family, he had to be ill as well,
嗯，假定不是 家人呢，长官。 Well, say it isn't, sir,
我是说，他们那个 园丁——希尔曼。 I mean that gardener of theirs - Hillman,
本地人说，老安肯索普死后 他也可以得到一笔不错的遗赠。 Locals say he's in for a nice bequest when old Ackenthorpe goes,
——他也有可能。 ——别忘了那个被杀害的女人。 - It is a possibility, - You're forgetting the dead woman,
这次的下毒证明了 她就是玛汀·安肯索普。 This poisoning means she was Martine Ackenthorpe,
嗯，法国警方 查出什么了？ Have the French police come up with something then?
只知道没有 结婚记录。 Only that there's no record of a marriage,
安肯索普驻扎的那个村子 在战时被炸得荡然无存， The village where Ackenthorpe was stationed was blown to bits,
——所有文件都被毁了。 ——那说明什么，长官？ - All files were destroyed, - Well?
你还不明白吗， 按照这种杀人模式， Don't you see, it's the pattern of the killings,
只有家人才可能 有杀她的动机。 Only a family member would want her dead too,
是啊，慢慢地把其他家人 都杀了，只留那个老头儿。 Yes, kill off all your relations in easy stages except the old man,
等到他寿终正寝的时候， 就可以继承他的所有财产。 When he dies naturally, inherit the fortune and the property,
埃尔伯特在晚饭后肯定 再次服了毒，可能是饮料。 Albert must have got his second dose after dinner, possibly in a drink,
不许喝这个。 Don't drink that,
——为什么？ ——因为现在是午饭时间。 - Why not? - Because it's lunch time,
哦！这是什么？ Oh! What is it?
牛肉汤和烤布丁。 Beef broth and baked custard,
——牛肉汤？我要的是牛排。 ——医生说只能喝牛肉汤。 - Beef broth? I ordered beefsteak, - The doctor said beef broth,
他太过分了！ 应该我说了算。 To blazes with him! I give the orders,
我讨厌流质。 快拿走！ I'm sick of slops, Take it away!
好的。 Certainly,
希尔曼，再来一瓶。 Hillman, another bottle,
你当然很清楚， 如果那个女人就是玛汀， Surely you know that if the woman was Martine,
你把信交给警察，就等于是 把矛头指向了我们中的一个， by giving the letter to the police the finger points at one of us,
不但事关她的死， 还事关埃尔伯特的死。 Not only for her death, but Albert's too,
——一点没错，就是我们中的一个。 ——我早觉得是你干的！ - Exactly, One of us, - I expected that from you!
哦，得了吧。 你跟我的想法完全一样。 Oh, come now, you're thinking exactly as I am,
如果你没干…… 就可能认为是我干的。 If you didn't do it... you're thinking it was me,
别说了！ 别说了！ Stop it! Stop it!
也可能是你， 亲爱的埃玛。 Or even you, dear Emma,
听着，我想我们已经 受够了这种胡说八道。 I think we've had enough of this nonsense,
我想警察不会 认为这是胡说八道。 I bet the police don't think so,
你爱说什么就说什么， 但是别把埃玛扯进来。 Say what you like, but please leave Emma out of it,
嗯，要说起来，埃玛留着那封信 可能也是出于自己的利益。 Well, it could be argued that Emma kept that letter to herself
to use it to her own advantage,
什么？
我想你最好 说说清楚。 You'd better explain that,
是啊，当玛汀的尸体 刚被发现的时候， Well, the moment Martine's body was discovered
家里每个人都有嫌疑， 包括你，埃玛。 everyone in this family was under suspicion, including you, Emma,
当你交出 这封信以后， The moment you produced the letter,
还是每个人都有嫌疑…… 但是不包括你。 everyone was under suspicion... excluding you,
——这我倒是没想到。 ——你一定是疯了。 - I hadn't thought of it like that, - You must be round the bend,
那个女人是被掐死的， 你认为你妹妹能做到吗？ The woman was strangled, Do you think your sister capable of that?
哦，可是埃玛是个 有魅力的女人，同意吗？ Oh, but Emma's an attractive woman, don't you think so?
那又怎样？ Well?
漂亮的小姐不用 亲自干脏活累活。 A pretty lady doesn't need to do her own dirty work,
埃玛，别理他们了。 Emma, let's leave them to it,
好啦，好啦，伊斯特利， 知道吗，埃玛看上的是医生， Now, now, Eastley, Emma has her eye on the doctor, you know,
你想第二次入赘 这个家可不容易。 It won't be so easy for you to marry into the family again,
哦，触及你的 痛处了，是不是？ Oh, that hit home, didn't it?
是的，我想扭断 你的脖子。 Yes and I'm about ready to break your blasted neck,
你很可能会的，不过 有一件事你得先说说清楚。 Very possibly, but tell me something first,
尸体被发现的前一天晚上， 你偷偷地来见过埃玛，对不对？ Did you meet Emma secretly the night before the body was found?
——嗯，我…… ——知道吗，希尔曼看见你们了。 - Well, l... - Hillman saw you,
哦，我们那天晚上 确实见过面，是真的。 We did meet that night, yes,
——他请求我帮他劝说父亲。 ——哦，为什么呢？ - He asked me to mediate with Father, - Oh, what for?
我想借钱，如果 你们非要知道的话。 I wanted to borrow money,
哦，我的天哪！ Oh, my goodness!
你在干什么？ What are you doing?
——铺床。 ——你今天早上已经铺过了。 - Making up the bed, - You made it up this morning,
是的，不过枕套还没换。 Yes but the pillowslips need changing,
我看挺干净的。 They look all right to me,
可我看还不够。 哦，我要干什么来着？ But not to me, Oh, what am I doing?
我希望那个 女人能快点来。 I do wish that woman would hurry up,
他们知道 我不喜欢天黑。 They know I don't like the dark,
你担心会 有人袭击你？ Are you afraid some man will get you?
知道吗，事情好像 都赶在一块来了，真怪。 It's funny how things come together,
我姐姐家的老大得了麻疹， 然后是她家的厄尼摔断了胳膊， My sister's eldest had measles and then her Ernie broke his arm
她丈夫又浑身长满了疖子， 全都是一星期内发生的事。 and her husband came out all over with boils, all in the same week,
真令人难以置信，是不是？ 这儿也一样， You wouldn't believe it, would you? It will be the same thing here,
先是那桩可怕的谋杀案， 然后是埃尔伯特先生被毒死了。 First that nasty murder, then Mr Albert poisoned,
接下来会轮到谁？ Who's going to be next?
俗话说事不过三。 Things always go in threes,
给你，基德太太。 Here you are,
抱歉让你久等，可是起先 医生在安肯索普先生房里。 Sorry to keep you, but the doctor was with Mr Ackenthorpe,
呒！漫长的等待， 微小的收获。 Hmm! Long wait for very little,
这年轻一代啊。 嗯，我真弄不懂！ The younger generation, Well, I don't know!
你怎么了？ What's the matter?
是哈罗德先生。 It's Mr Harold,
扣动扳机的是他 自己还是另有其人？ Did he use it or did somebody else pull the trigger?
如果是自杀 也完全说得通。 It adds up if it was suicide,
哈罗德杀死了其他两个人， 出于恐惧就来了个自我了断。 Harold killed the other two, got cold feet
and took the easy way out,
他们都知道，他喜欢 在晚餐前在家射击。 They all knew he liked shooting before dinner at the Hall,
击中他的子弹 射程是两英寸。 He was shot from a two-inch range,
是啊。 All right,
某个人很轻易地借来 了他手里的枪，然后就…… Someone he knows casually asks him for the gun and...
也可能是自杀。 It could still be suicide,
凶手正希望 我们这么认为。 That's what the murderer wants us to think,
我不能再冒险让 更多人死掉了。走吧。 We can't risk any more killings, Come on,
——去哪儿，长官？ ——安肯索普府邸。 - Where to, sir? - The Hall,
我得找到那个粉盒，把他们 家翻个底朝天也要找出来。 I'll find the compact even if I have to turn the place upside down,
请原谅，长官， 有个马普尔小姐要见你。 Excuse me, sir, there's a Miss Marple to see you,
——请进，下午好，马普尔小姐。 ——你这是要出门去？ - Come in, Good afternoon, - You were going somewhere?
——是的。 ——那我就开门见山了。 - Yes, - I'll come to the point at once,
很漂亮的小 玩意儿，不是吗？ Beautiful little piece, isn't it?
——是谁拿的？ ——小亚历山大。 - Who had it? - Alexander,
——什么？ ——我早该想到的，那孩子真是没治了。 I should have realised, That boy's incorrigible,
大半夜拿出来玩， 顽童本性。 Playing it at midnight like that, Typical,
——所以我们又得从头开始了？ ——不，警巡。 - So we're back where we began? - No, lnspector,
我想我已经 知道凶手是谁了。 I think I knowwho our murderer is,
问题在于，如何引蛇出洞。 The difficulty is getting him to show his hand,
——请坐，马普尔小姐。 ——谢谢。 - Sit down, Miss Marple, - Thank you,
保持那个 表情别动，埃玛。 Hold that expression,
哦，可惜啊， 被你搞砸了。 Oh, pity, you spoilt it,
怎么了，亲爱的？ 有什么事不对劲吗？ What's the matter? Things not working out for you?
你说什么话 都像是冷嘲热讽。 You make everything you say sound like an insinuation,
这是他的本职工作。 He works at it,
别再大惊小怪了，昆珀。 Do stop fussing, Quimper,
我想下楼我就下楼。 If I wish to come down, I shall do so,
我坐这儿吧， 希尔曼。 I think this chair, Hillman,
——父亲，你怎么…… ——你别废话！ - Father, don't you... - Don't start!
抱歉，埃玛， 可是他铁了心要…… Sorry, Emma, but once his mind is made up...
我不想再 一个人呆在楼上。 I'm not going to stay up there all alone,
我可能会被杀死在床上。 身边有几个人至少会安全些。 Might get murdered in my bed, At least there's safety in numbers,
——我非常同意你的观点，父亲。 ——这个变化不错嘛。 - I quite agree with you, - That makes a nice change,
我想喝点什么。 不，不用你去……昆珀。 I want a drink, No, not you... Quimper,
帮你拿好 我就得走了。 Then I must leave,
你别把我闷死， 放我膝盖上！ Don't smother me with it, put it over my knees!
多么其乐融融啊。 我们打桥牌怎么样？ This is all very cosy, How about a rubber of bridge?
我只是说说而已！ Just a thought!
那是什么东西，孩子？ What have you got there, boy?
漂亮的小玩意儿。 A charming little thing,
法国第二帝国时期的， 我想应该很值钱。 French, second empire, Valuable, I'd say,
你从哪儿弄来的？ Where did you get it?
这是马普尔小姐的。 It belongs to Miss Marple,
——你最好给人家放回去。 ——我是借来的。 - You had better give it back, - I only borrowed it,
我回房睡觉前 就去还给她。 I'll drop it in on my way to bed,
右侧的书： 阿加莎·克里斯蒂 《杀人不难》 1960, Collins/Fontana版
——请进，医生。 ——你知道我会来？ - Come in, Doctor, - You were expecting me?
——亚历山大没告诉你吗？ ——告诉我什么？ - Didn't Alexander tell you? - Tell me what?
健忘的孩子。 Forgetful boy,
我的嗓子疼，医生， I have a sore throat
我让他来转告你， 请你走之前来帮我看看。 and asked him to ask you to look at it before you left,
我明白了。 I see,
我有好些年 没这么疼过了。 I haven't had one of these throats in years,
哦，你真幸运啊， 马普尔小姐。头疼吗？ Well you've been lucky, Miss Marple, Any headaches?
不疼，就是嗓子疼。 No, just the sore throat,
好的，我们来看看。 Well, we'll have a look,
非常漂亮啊。 This is attractive,
——是啊，谁说不是呢？ ——你怎么得来的？ - Yes, isn't it? - Where did you get it?
——我找来的。 ——哦，哪找来的？ - I found it, - Oh, where?
——就在这儿的马厩里。 ——是吗？ - In the stables here, - Really?
嘴张大好吗。 Open wide, please,
——喊“啊”。 ——啊。 - Say, "Ahh", - Ahh,
没有发炎。 No inflammation,
你不觉得这么做不太光彩吗， 我是说把这个粉盒占为己有？ Don't you think that was dishonest, keeping the compact?
在这种情况下， 不觉得，医生。 Under the circumstances, Doctor, no,
——有没有觉得肿胀。 ——我想没有，医生。 - Is there any swelling? - I don't think so,
你这种姿势我以前见过一次，医生， 你用双手卡住一个女人的脖子。 I've seen you like that once before, your hands at a woman's throat,
在一列火车上， 你活活掐死了她。 It was on a train and you were strangling her,
——这项指控可不得了啊。 ——我还有别的指控呢。 - That's quite an allegation, - I have a few more,
哦？ Oh?
你想要这个粉盒， 因为这是你送给那个女人的， You want the compact because you had given it to that woman
顺藤摸瓜就 有可能追查到你。 and it might be traced back to you,
——我猜她是你的妻子。 ——是吗？ - I think she was your wife, - Do you?
你杀死她，是在你寄出 那封信给埃玛以后， You killed her after you had written that letter to Emma,
——你在信上签的是玛汀·安肯索普的名字。 ——我为什么要这么做？ - You signed it Martine Ackenthorpe, - Why should I do that?
杀人——是为了恢复你的自由身， 让你可以跟埃玛结婚。 The murder - so that you would then be free to marry Emma,
写信——是为了让大家误以为 被杀害的女人就是玛汀， The letter - so that people would think the dead woman was Martine
然后就会在家庭 成员中寻找凶手…… and look among the family for the killer...
而绝不会 想到是你。 ,, never at you,
你是怎么完成 这个绝妙的推理的？ How did you arrive at this fascinating hypothesis?
因为发现尸体 的人就是我。 It was I who found her body,
就我所知，玛汀曾经是， 也许现在仍然是一个诺曼底农妇。 Martine was, or is, for all I know, a Normandy peasant,
可是这个被杀害的女人 生前从来没有种过地。 The dead woman had never worked on a farm,
我见过她的双手。 I saw her hands,
——说下去。 ——好的。 - Go on, - Certainly,
你的计划后来 又进一步升级…… You proceeded to augment your prospects...
所以你除掉了 埃尔伯特和哈罗德。 ,, by eliminating Albert and Harold,
怎么才能 瞒天过海呢？ How, conceivably?
你设法在我做的 咖喱鸭里放了砷化物。 You contrived to introduce arsenic into my curry,
顺便提一句，我认为 这是不可原谅的。 which I find unforgivable,
你知道事后会 由你来诊治他们， knowing that you would be asked to deal with the after-effects,
所以你很轻易地在给埃尔伯特 的药里下了致命剂量的毒。 Easy then to give Albert his final dose in the medicine,
那哈罗德呢？ And Harold?
你向他开了枪， 伪装成自杀的样子。 You shot him and made it look like suicide,
很有创见， 我必须承认。 Ingenious, I must admit,
还有呢。 More than that,
你现在过来，是想 拿走你妻子的粉盒…… Now you are here to secure your wife's compact...
一个华丽的粉盒。 ,, a fair case,
是啊，但是很遗憾， 你没有机会再展示它了。 Yes, a pity you won't be able to present it,
哦，你又想杀人了，医生， 会不会杀得太多了。 One more murder, Doctor, might be one too many,
看起来不会像杀人的， 马普尔小姐。 This won't look like murder, Miss Marple,
我签署的死亡证明上 写的将是“心力衰竭”。 The death certificate signed by me will register heart failure,
——你没事吧？ ——没事，谢谢。 - All right? - Yes, thank you,
你被捕了， 我警告你…… You're under arrest, I warn you...
我说的每句话都会 被记录下来，成为呈堂证供。 That everything was recorded and will be used in evidence,
是啊，你 全都说对了。 You were right about everything,
你是个勇敢的女人。 马普尔小姐，晚安。 You're a very brave woman, Miss Marple, Good night,
哦！ Oh!
你也该来了！ About time too!
我在走之前， 再上来看看你。 I was coming up to see you before leaving,
你没必要走。 No need to leave,
我自己有家。 I have my own home,
——卖掉它！ ——我为什么要卖掉它？ - Sell it! - Why on earth should l?
嗯…… 总的来看…… Well... taking one thing and another...
我是说， 你是个好厨师， ,, l mean, you're a fair cook
而且……呃…… 你似乎也很有聪明才智…… and... er... you seem to have your wits about you and...
而且……好吧， 我决定要跟你结婚。 Well, I've decided to marry you,
——怎么样？ ——嗯，当然，我很荣幸。 - Well? - Well, I'm honoured, of course,
那是当然， 但是请回答我。 Yes, but come to the point,
——恐怕我不能答应。 ——为什么？ - I'm afraid that cannot be, - Why?
嗯，如果我真的决定赌上 这一把的话，还有别的人选。 Well if I ever do embark on such a venture, there is someone else,
胡说八道！我不相信。 还有谁会要你？ Nonsense! I don't believe it, Who would have you?
显然你是其中之一， 安肯索普先生。 Apparently you for one, Mr Ackenthorpe,
再见。 Goodbye,
这个女人 一定精神错乱了！ The woman is completely unbalanced!
——哦，马普尔小姐，我真高兴…… ——你能来真的太好了。 - Oh, Miss Marple, I am so glad... - How good of you to come,
——我来帮你。 ——谢谢。 - Let me help, - Thank you,
