（教堂的钟声响起） (CHURCH BELLS TOLLING)
克莱门特牧师：这是指控吗，普莱斯-雷德利太太？ REVEREND CLEMENT: Is this an accusation, Mrs. Price-Ridley?
PRICE-RIDLEY夫人：当然是指控，牧师。 MRS. PRICE-RIDLEY: Of course it's an accusation, Vicar.
-克莱门特牧师：反对谁？-我怎么会知道呢？ - REVEREND CLEMENT: Against whom? - How on Earth am I to know that?
我只是指出事实，你可以随意解释， I'm simply pointing to the facts, you may interpret them as you please,
但事实就是事实。 but facts are facts.
和你。上校? And you. Colonel?
我问了普罗瑟罗上校，他很友好地来了。 I asked Colonel Protheroe, and he very kindly came.
我不希望有任何误会。 I wanted there to be no misunderstandings.
我记得很清楚。 I remember it quite clearly.
昨天是我可怜的亲爱的哈维的忌日 Yesterday was the anniversary of my poor dear Harvey's death,
我总是在哈维的节日里捐一英镑 and I always put a pound in the collection on Harvey's day.
-是的，但是Price-Ridley太太…-不，但是，牧师，它就在那儿。 - Yes, but, Mrs. Price-Ridley... - No but about it, Vicar, it was there.
一英镑钞票。 A pound note.
然而，它不在收藏清单上的地方。 Where it was not, however, was on the collection list.
那里的最高面额是一张10先令的钞票。 The highest denomination there was a ten shilling note.
我们都不像以前那么年轻了， Oh, well, none of us as young as we were,
我们必须付出年老的代价，你说呢，上校？ we must pay the penalty of advancing years, wouldn't you say, Colonel?
我必须再说一遍吗？它就在那里。 Must I say it again? It was there.
你可能得了老年痴呆症，牧师， You may be suffering from senile dementia, Vicar,
尽管你妻子很年轻， despite the extreme youth of your wife,
但我的理智还在，谢谢你。 but I am in full possession of my senses, thank you.
我会调查的，牧师。我会给你答案的。 I'll look into it, Vicar. I'll have the answer for you.
很明显出了什么问题。 It's quite clear something's amiss.
我建议我帮你查一下教会的账目。 I suggest I go through the church accounts for you.
-是吗？-没必要把血管炸裂，牧师 - Do you? - No need to burst a vessel, Vicar.
如果有挪用公款的情况，最好 If there are defalcations, it's best that
你知道，他们被连根拔起了。 they're torn out root and branch, you know.
根和枝。 Root and branch.
总之，我是财务主管。 Anyway, I am the treasurer.
明天晚上我顺便去你的副牧师那儿把书拿过来。 I'll pop round and get the books from your curate tomorrow evening.
如果他不忙着祈祷的话 If he isn't too busy with his Hail Mary's
就是烧香。 and burning incense, that is.
书在牧师公馆。 The books are at the Vicarage.
无论如何，我几乎看不出这有充分的理由…… Any case, I hardly see that this warrants a full scale...
那就这样吧。那么，明天晚上见。在牧师公馆。 So be it. Till tomorrow evening, then. At the Vicarage.
我该看着你的副牧师，牧师。 I should watch that curate of yours, Vicar.
这是不健康的，那些耶稣会的废话。 It isn't healthy, all that Jesuitical claptrap.
如果我是你，我就把他送到都柏林或罗马去。 I should send him to Dublin, or Rome if I were you.
他只会在这种地方搞破坏。 He can only do damage in a place like this.
还好吗，亲爱的？ All right, darling?
他们需要从后面发射火箭。 The blighters need a rocket up the backside.
谢谢你！ Thank you.
牧师想什么时候吃午饭？ What time does the vicar want lunch?
哦!是的，我记得很清楚。 Oh! Yes, well remembered.
他今天会晚一点到。 He'll be a bit late today.
嗯，是的，没错。他说他会晚到一会儿。 Uh, yes, that's right. He said he'd be a bit late.
所以,嗯…我们最好拥有它……拥有它…有点晚了。 So, um... We'd better have it... Have it... A bit late.
血腥Protheroe。我是说真的。血腥的人… Bloody Protheroe. I mean really. Bloody man...
哦,亲爱的。 Oh, dear.
现在，你别去找该死的普罗瑟罗上校。 Now, don't you go starting something with Colonel bloody Protheroe.
他会再来的。 He'll do you again.
帕克警官一睁眼就会把你送上法庭。 And Constable Palk will have you up before that bench soon as open his eyes.
他不是你的朋友。 He's no friend of yours.
所以你别惹普罗瑟罗，听到了吗？ So don't you start messing with Protheroe, do you hear?
我不想让你再被关起来。所以不要开始。 I don't want you locked up again. So don't you start.
你是不是最好把它拿过去？ Hadn't you better take that through?
(笑) (CHUCKLES)
真遗憾，我的管家技术这么差。 It's a pity I'm such a shocking housekeeper.
玛丽显然在不理我，我们不吃绿色蔬菜了。 Mary's clearly ignoring me, and we are to have no greens.
绿色。 Greens.
哦，福廷布拉斯，看看这些。 Oh, Fortinbras, look at these.
我觉得我一试，事情就变得更糟了。 Oh, I think things get worse when I try.
让玛丽一个人待着会更好，而且…… It's really much better to leave Mary alone, and...
(叹息) (SIGHS)
下定决心要难受，要吃令人作呕的东西。 Make up my mind to be uncomfortable and have revolting things to eat.
哦，可怜的莱恩。我知道我是你最不喜欢的人。 Oh, poor Len. I know I'm everything you most disapprove of.
你。 You are.
我越来越相信独身对神职人员来说是可取的。 I am more and more convinced that celibacy is desirable for the clergy.
（笑）然而你疯狂地、热情地爱着我。 (LAUGHS) And yet you adore me madly, passionately.
毫无理由地，彻底地，过分地，是吗，亲爱的？ Beyond all reason, utterly and extravagantly, don't you, darling?
当然可以。 Of course.
-我很喜欢你，亲爱的。(呵呵) - I am very fond of you, my dear. -(CHUCKLING)

劳伦斯·雷丁一直缠着我要我多花点时间研究那幅画像。 Lawrence Redding's been pestering me for more time on the portrait.

那个年轻的下水道工人雷丁， That young sewer, Redding,
一直在画她的时候几乎什么都没穿，仅此而已。 has been painting her with practically nothing on, that's all.
哦,真的。我并不感到惊讶。她很漂亮。 Oh, really. I'm not surprised. She's very beautiful.
为什么不呢？ Why on Earth not?
对于一个本该见多识广的人来说， For a man who's supposed to have seen the world,

医生，我可以打扰你一下吗？ Doctor, I wonder if I might impose upon you?
当然可以。 Of course.
克莱门牧师：我很忙，你知道的，莱蒂斯。 REVEREND CLEMENT: I'm busy you know, Lettice.
这是荒谬的。疯了。 It's absurd. Crazy.
看在上帝的份上，我当时穿着泳衣。 I was wearing a swimsuit, for heaven's sake.
我是说，太维多利亚了，禁止男人进房子。 I mean, too Victorian, forbidding a man the house.
这是一种尖叫。 It's a shriek.
劳伦斯笑得几乎要吐了。 Lawrence was practically ill laughing about it.
安其实很正派。 Ann was quite decent actually.
我通常发现母亲的心胸更开阔…… I've usually found that a mother is more broad minded...
-实际上是继母。-啊，是的，当然。 - Stepmother, matter of fact. - Ah, yes, of course.
你不会碰巧知道，我妈妈跟谁私奔了吧？ You don't happen to know, do you, who it was my mother ran off with?
没人告诉过我。 Nobody's ever told me.
恐怕我不知道。那是在你来之前。 I'm afraid I don't. It was before you came here.

圣玛丽·米德。 St. Mary Mead.
当然可以。 Of course.
马普尔小姐。 Miss Marple.
-我只是碰巧…-当然了。 - I just happened to be... - Of course you did.
我相信这会让亲爱的牧师松一口气 I'm sure it will be a great relief to the dear Vicar
知道这么专业，这么有活力的人 to know that someone so professional, and so energetic
是此案的负责人，探长 is in charge of the case, Inspector,
对我来说确实如此。 as indeed it is to me.
谢谢你！ Thank you.
弗莱彻，品客尔，去看看鉴证科的人在做什么。 SLACK: Fletcher, Pringle, see what the boys from forensic are up to.
把那些报告拿到实验室去。来吧，活泼点！ Get those reports down to the lab. Come on, look lively!
谢谢你！ Thank you!
马普尔小姐：我首先遇到的当然是斯莱克探长， MISS MARPLE: I first came across Inspector Slack, of course,
在戈辛顿庄园那件可怕的事上 over that dreadful business at Gossington Hall
那时亚瑟和多莉·班特里住在那里。 when Arthur and Dolly Bantry lived there.
它很像现在出现的柴油发动机 It's rather like one of these diesel engines that are now appearing
在我们的铁路上， all over our railways,
最讨厌的, most unappealing,
但我听说效率很高。 but I'm told efficient.
好吧，我想我们必须学会接受这样的事情 Well, I suppose we shall have to learn to live with such things
还有这样的人。 and such people.
我觉得你有话想对他说，对吧，牧师？ I think there was something you were trying to tell him, wasn't there, Vicar?
哦。是。 Oh. Yes.
我试过了。 Well, I tried to.
哦,相当。 Oh, quite.
是关于我桌上的钟。 It was about the clock on my desk.
我们只需要保持10分钟的速度，就这样。 It's just that we keep it about 10 minutes fast, that's all.
这是为了让我准时赴约。 It's meant to get me to my appointments on time.
马普尔小姐：那实际上是12分钟过去了。 MISS MARPLE: Then it was actually 12 minutes past.
换句话说，在普罗瑟罗上校还没到这所房子之前。 In other words, before Colonel Protheroe even arrived at the house.
所以它被篡改了。 So it was tampered with.
(汽车喇叭声) (CAR HORN HONKING)
还有一件事。我相信你注意到了，马普尔小姐。 And another thing. I'm sure you noticed it, Miss Marple.
尸体旁的那张纸条，笔迹，在我看来并不一致。 That note by the body, the handwriting, it didn't look consistent to me.
啊，你注意到了。是的，这是伪造的。 Ah, you noticed it. Yes, it was a forgery.
恐怕是一个相当笨拙的人。 Rather a clumsy one I fear.
外面还有很多人呢。 There's still a lot of people out there.
我敢说，比哀悼他的人还多。 More than there will be to mourn him, I daresay.
我们上楼吧。真是糟糕的一天。 Let's go upstairs. It's been such a horrible day.
你很安静。你在想什么？ You're very quiet. What are you thinking about?
我在考虑愤怒之罪 I was considering the sin of anger
以及这场残酷的事件将如何改变世界。 and how this cruel event will change things.
我们永远无法摆脱它，你知道的。 We'll never be free of it, you know.
你是什么意思？ How do you mean?
我永远不会忘记我今晚所看到的。 I shall never forget what I saw this evening.
这就是它的另一面。 There's that side of it.
和… And...
这就是我们永远的形象。 It's how we shall always be thought of.
“哦，是的，克莱门特一家，他们杀了人 "Oh, yes, the Clements, they had a murder
“在他们的牧师公馆，是吗？” "at their Vicarage, didn't they?"
我最亲爱的老朋友，到底怎么了？ My dearest old thing, what's really wrong?
你知道那种事并不重要。这是什么？ You knew that sort of thing doesn't matter. What is it?
否。 No.
不，这是… No, it's something...
哦…… Oh...
在我和造物主之间。 Between me and my maker.
我去锁门。 I'll go and lock up.
(门关闭) (DOOR CLOSES)
（教堂的钟声响起） (CHURCH BELLS TOLLING)
莱恩，我以前告诉过你。 Oh, Len, I've told you before.
如果我们能找到一个好女孩， If we managed to find a girl who was good,
她一找到更好的地方就会离开我们。 she would leave us as soon as she could find somewhere better.
玛丽知道没人会碰她。 Mary knows nobody else will touch her.
我几乎看不出有任何人陪伴的意义。 I hardly see the point of having anyone at all.
那个傻女孩，你看。 The stupid girl, look at that.
我刚和面包师的儿子谈过。 I've just been talking to the baker's boy.
他们逮捕了雷丁先生。 They arrested Mr. Redding.
怎么啦？逮捕了劳伦斯?一定是有什么愚蠢的错误。 What? Arrested Lawrence? There must be some stupid mistake.
毫无疑问。他亲自到那里去自首了。 No mistake about it. He went there himself and gave himself up.
昨晚，最后一件事。径直走进去，把手枪扔在桌子上。 Last night, last thing. Went right in, threw down the pistol on the table.
“我做到了，”他说。就像这样。 "I did it," he says. Just like that.
——手枪?手枪呢?-他的手枪。他一直都有一个。 - Pistol? What pistol? - His pistol. He's always had one.
把它扔在演播室里。 Leaves it lying around that studio place.
我可以告诉你，我不喜欢掸灰尘。是德语。 I don't like dusting the thing, I can tell you. German it is.
这是真的。他总是把它乱扔。 It's true. He is always leaving it lying around.
他哥哥从诺曼底带回来的。我还是不相信。 His brother brought it back from Normandy. I still don't believe it.
茶。 Tea.
这太疯狂了。可能的动机是什么 It's quite mad. What possible motive
劳伦斯杀害普洛瑟罗上校的罪名吗 could Lawrence have for killing Colonel Protheroe?
兰? Len?
-他们吵架了。——哦。来吧。你也是。兰? - They'd quarreled. - Oh. come on. So had you. Len?
莱恩，你知道什么？ Len, what do you know?
(打开门) (DOOR OPENING)
海多克博士：好吧。 DR. HAYDOCK: All right then.
雷丁声称什么时候到达牧师住宅？ What time did Redding claim to get to the Vicarage?
斯莱克：6:45,6:50，那是什么时候？ SLACK: 6:45, 6:50, about then?
-不行。-什么不会？ - Won't do. - What won't?
他是在撒谎。普罗瑟罗早在半小时前就死了 He's lying. Protheroe would have been dead nearly half an hour
等他找到他的时候。我现在已经确认了。 by the time he got to him. I've confirmed it now.
-你确定吗？——是的。 - Are you sure? - Yes.
-我是说，没有余地吗？-还不够。 - I mean, there's no leeway? - Not enough.
弹道分析说那是雷丁的枪？ You know ballistics say it was Redding's gun?
没有什么区别。 Doesn't make any difference.
该死的。 Damn.
湖! Lake!
我觉得这看起来好得令人难以置信。 I thought it was looking too good to be true.
我早该知道的。 I should have known better.
我一看到那条可爱的灰毛小眼镜蛇 Soon as I saw that nice, little gray-haired cobra
我早该知道的。 sliding about I should've known better.
——嗯?-玛普尔女人。 - Hmm? - The Marple woman.
对这种事的执着就像对猫嚼口香糖一样。 Sticks to this sort of business like chewing gum to the cat.
你去哪儿了？取消缩小比例。 Where have you been? Cancel the scale down.
五号牢房的文艺先生在瞎说。 The artistic gentleman in cell five is lying through his eyeballs.
让每个人都回去工作！ Get everybody back on the job!
斯莱克：你在保护谁？ SLACK: Who are you protecting?
这对你没用的，雷丁先生。 This isn't going to help you, Mr. Redding.
收费清单已经和你的手臂一样长了。 The charge list is already as long as your arm.
妨碍警察，提供虚假信息， Obstructing the police, false information,
未报告犯罪，无证持枪… failure to report an offense, unlicensed firearm...
等等。 Etcetera.
哦，这是非常乏味的事情。 Oh, it's very tedious stuff.
太无聊了，我想我已经忘了。 So tedious I believe I've forgotten it already.
不过，我可以打电话给值班警官 I could, however, call the duty Sergeant
让他把这些都写下来，行吗？ and ask him to start writing it all down, couldn't I?
-（敲门）-谁呀？ -(KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Who is it?
哦。 Oh.
有你。 Got you.
这是当地的一项娱乐活动，不是吗？ Quite the local sport this confession lark, isn't it?
我们经常去拜访死者的妻子，是吗，先生？ In the habit of visiting the deceased's wife from time to time, were we, sir?
冷静点，先生。 Calm down, sir.
我只想知道你在保护谁。 I only wanted to know who it was you were protecting.
如果他还在这里让海多克在那跟我们碰头，好吗？ If he's still on the premises ask Haydock to meet us there, would you?
两个WPC都出局了… Both the WPC's are out...
(小鸟喳喳叫) (BIRDS CHIRPING)
马普尔小姐：非常感谢你，señora,谢谢你的好意。 MISS MARPLE: Thank you so much, señora, for your very kind contribution.
你真虔诚。 Very ecumenical of you.
哦，谢谢。 Oh, thank you.
嗯。美味。 Mmm. Delicious.
（车门关闭） (CAR DOORS CLOSING)
他们马上就到。到时候我会解释的。 They'll be here in a minute. I'll explain everything then.
谢谢你的光临。 Thank you for coming.
我就开门见山了。 I'll come straight to the point.
我杀了我丈夫。 I killed my husband.
是的,夫人。 Yes, madam.
我想我说得有点直白了， I suppose I've put it a bit bluntly,
但我从来不会因为任何事而歇斯底里。 but I could never go into hysterics over anything.
我恨他很久了，昨天我开枪打死了他。 I've hated him for a long time and yesterday I shot him.
安，你知道劳伦斯已经承认了。 Ann, you know Lawrence has already confessed to it.
我当然知道。他爱我。他真是太好了。 Of course I know. He loves me. It was impossibly good of him.
他怎么知道是你干的，夫人？ How did he know you'd done it, madam?
我告诉他当然可以。 I told him of course.
你用什么射杀了你丈夫？ What did you shoot your husband with?
用他自己的枪。他以前一直把它放在更衣室衣橱里。 With his own gun. He used to keep it in the dressing room wardrobe.
-什么类型的？-我不知道。 - What type was it? - I don't know.
这是某种战争纪念品。 It was some kind of war souvenir.
我想是意大利语。你把子弹推进去 Italian I suppose. You push the bullets in
从把手的底部。 from the bottom of the handle.
如果我要告诉你，夫人，我们已经证明了 If I was to tell you, madam, that we have already proved
令我们满意的是，雷丁先生不可能 to our satisfaction that Mr. Redding could not possibly
犯了这样的罪，你还会坚持吗 have committed this crime, would you still persist
对你的行为进行了可疑的描述？ in this rather dubious account of your activities?
哦，趁我还记得，莱克… Oh, while I remember it, Lake...
哦。警官，探长。真是个惊喜。 Oh. Oh, Sergeant, Inspector. What a nice surprise.
松:夫人…… SLACK: Madam...
我想知道……我想知道我是否可以打扰你一下 I wonder... I wonder if I might impose upon you
为我们的教堂修复基金捐款吗？ for a small contribution to our Church Restoration Fund?
一两便士就够了。 A ha'penny or two would do.
如此强烈的诉求在早期。 Such a vigorous appeal in the early days.
但说实话，我不认为新任副牧师霍斯先生帮了什么忙。 But to tell you the truth, I don't think Mr. Hawes, the new curate, has helped.
对副牧师来说，有点太精神化了。 A little too spiritual, if you know what I mean, for a curate.
是。哦，谢谢。 Yes... Oh, thank you.
-（硬币叮当作响）-是的。谢谢你！非常慷慨。 -(COINS CLINKING) - Yes. Thank you. Very generous.
那么，你说服普罗瑟罗太太和雷丁先生了吗 Now then, have you persuaded Mrs. Protheroe and Mr. Redding
他们不可能谋杀上校吗？ that they couldn't possibly have murdered the colonel?
我觉得他们是时候告诉大家真相了，你觉得呢？ I think it's about time they started to tell everyone the truth, don't you?
我猜这就是你来的原因吧。 Well, I presume that's why you're here.
-马普尔小姐……-你知道莱斯特兰奇夫人 - Miss Marple... - Did you know that Mrs. Lestrange
在谋杀发生前的那个下午拜访过上校吗？ visited the Colonel on the afternoon before the murder?
海多克医生开车送她过来。我觉得这很有趣，你觉得呢？ Dr. Haydock drove her up. Now I find that very interesting, don't you?
我觉得这是个好主意，马普尔小姐， I think it would be a good idea, Miss Marple,
如果我晚些时候来看你，从你那里听到整个故事。 if I dropped round later and heard the whole story from you.
我想你肯定太忙了没时间听我的小想法，探长。 Oh, I'm sure you're far too busy to listen to my little ideas, Inspector.
没有人能指责我不彻底。 No one can accuse me of not being thorough.
确实。 Indeed.
我想是对八卦有鉴赏力和天赋吧 I suppose it's having an ear for gossip and a talent
只是瞎猜而已。 for a bit of blind guesswork really.
什么事，探长？ What is, Inspector?
让你的小想法不再是浪费时间。 Stops your little ideas being a waste of time.
我想我从来没被称赞过 Well, I don't think I've ever been complimented
很像我以前的生活，探长。 quite like that in my life before, Inspector.
别客气。 Don't mention it.
现在你想要一面旗帜吗？ Now would you like a flag?
谢谢您，夫人。 Thank you, madam.
接骨木果的味道更浓一点， MISS MARPLE: The elderberry is a little more,
探长，我们就直说吧。 shall we say, forthright, Inspector.
但我相信这很适合你的性格。 But I'm sure that will suit your character.
哦，让我想想，我说到哪儿了？ Oh, now let me see, where was I?
在花园里，夫人，照顾你的，牡丹花。 In the garden, madam, attending to your, Betonica grandiflora.
哦，是的，是的。 Oh, yes, yes.
你知道我能看到他们来来去去 You understand that I can see the comings and goings
从我的有利位置看到了牧师住宅的前门 at the Vicarage front door from my little vantage point.
但我只看到了官方访问。 But I only see as it were, the official visits.
理解。马普尔小姐。 Understood. Miss Marple.
(遥远的哭泣) (DISTANT SOBBING)
来吧。 Come on.
我们会坚持到底的。 We'll see it through.
我会帮你的。 I'll help you.
(哭泣) (SOBS)
我会的。 I will.
-哦…-我们要走了。 - Oh... - We're leaving.
普罗瑟罗夫人6点15分第一个到达 Mrs. Protheroe was first to arrive at 6:15
但这是近似的，你懂的。 but that is approximate you understand.
她正从广场的后巷走过来 She was coming down back lane from the Square.
晚上好，马普尔小姐。 Good evening, Miss Marple.
晚上好，普罗瑟罗夫人。 Oh, good evening, Mrs. Protheroe.
在她去牧师住宅见上校的路上，我明白了 On her way to meet the Colonel at the Vicarage I understand.
<我>…也许是这样。无论如何… Well... Perhaps it was that. Anyway...
你知道现在的裙子是什么样子的 You know what dresses are these days.
你知道，没有什么东西可以藏在它下面 Nothing could have been hidden under it, you know.
肯定不是枪。 Certainly not a gun.
她绕着牧师住宅的一边朝书房走去，大概是想看看是否 She went round the side of the Vicarage towards the study, presumably to see if
上校还在那里，我想他还没有，因为她回来了 the Colonel was there yet and I suppose he wasn't, because she came back
我几乎立刻走进了那座旧的避暑别墅 almost immediately and went into the old summer house
<我>。雷丁用作工作室。 Mr. Redding uses as a studio.
打扰一下，女士，我们正在录一些口供…… Excuse me, madam, we've been taking some statements and...
是的,警官。 Yes, Sergeant.
雷克：谢谢您，夫人。 LAKE: Thank you, madam.
你没听到枪声，是吗，有可能吗？ You didn't hear a shot, did you, by any chance?
否。没有然后。但大约10分钟后。 No. Not then. But about 10 minutes later.
那声音似乎是从树林里传来的。 It seemed to come from the woods.
但听起来不像在树林里听到的枪声。 But it didn't sound like the shooting one hears in the woods.
当然，如果声音是从树林里传来的，那就不可能了 But of course it might not if it was echoing back from the woods
而且一开始就不是猎枪。 and wasn't a shotgun in the first place.
但这听起来很奇怪。 But it sounded odd.
是的,警官? Yes, Sergeant?
这和我们的另一个说法是一致的。 Well, that ties in with our other statement.
确切的射击，听起来很奇怪，大约六点半。 Definite shot, sounded odd, about 6:30.
下一个在枪击前出现的人，你会发现， The next person to turn up before the shot, you realize,
是雷丁先生。事实上，我差一点就错过了他 was Mr. Redding. I nearly missed him as a matter of fact
因为我当时正在对付一株非常讨厌的蒲公英。 as I was dealing just then with a very nasty brute of a dandelion.
大约五分钟后，他从村子里出来了 He came along from the village just about five minutes
——以普罗瑟罗太太的名字命名，还有……-是的，没错。从酒吧，是的。 -after Mrs. Protheroe, and... - Yes, that's right. From the pub, yeah.
-对不起，夫人。-没关系，警官。 - I'm so sorry, madam. - That's quite all right, Sergeant.
<我>。雷丁直接去了摄影棚 Mr. Redding went straight to the studio
大约10分钟后，我听到了枪声，正如我说的，我听到了枪声 and then I heard the shot about 10 minutes later, as I said,
，然后，在那之后不久， and then, shortly after that,
他和普罗瑟罗太太一起离开了演播室，朝广场走去 he and Mrs. Protheroe left the studio together going towards the Square.
过了一会儿，雷丁先生又回来了，绕到牧师住宅的前面 Later Mr. Redding returned and went round to the front of the Vicarage
大约6点50分。 at about 6:50.
所以你看，不管是谁，他没有从我能看见的任何方向进入牧师住宅。 So you see whoever it was, didn't enter the Vicarage by any sides visible to me.
谢谢你，马普尔小姐。 Thank you, Miss Marple.
我承认，你是个不错的证人。 You make a decent witness, I'll give you that.
问题是，如果雷丁和普罗瑟罗夫人是清白的， Problem is, if Redding and Mrs. Protheroe are in the clear,
没有其他人有真正的动机。 there's no one else with a real motive.
——哦。哦，好吧，我…——什么? - Oh. Oh, well, I was... - What?
我只是在想还有多少人想要 Well, I was just thinking of how many other people might want
上校让开了路。 the Colonel out of the way.
我没说他们会为了除掉他而杀了他， Oh, I don't say they'd murder him to get him out of the way,
但我…… but I...
哦，天哪，是的。我把他忘了。 Oh, dear me, yes. I'd forgotten him.
我猜是五…可能是6。 I make it five... Possibly six.
(地板吱吱作响的) (FLOORBOARD CREAKING)
-审讯时发生了什么？-谋杀的人或未知的人。 - What happened at the inquest? - Murder by person or persons unknown.
我们都知道，不是吗？ Well, we all knew that, didn't we?
(喇叭鸣响) (HORN HONKS)
滚出去! Get out!
我应该提供证据的。你应该问我才对。 I should have given evidence. Well, I should have been asked.
我可以提供相关事实。 I have pertinent facts to offer.
哦…… Oh...
海多克博士：女士们…… DR. HAYDOCK: Ladies...
-他要去见莱斯特兰奇家的女人-也许她又不舒服了。 - He's going to see the Lestrange woman. - Perhaps she's unwell again.
我不是叫你起来的。 I didn't mean you to get up.
今天我第一次感到害怕。 Today I felt frightened for the first time.
我希望我现在… I wish now I'd...
我想如果一个人的父亲被谋杀了，他可能不想…… I suppose if one's father's been murdered, one might not want to...
——什么?-莱蒂丝，那个可怕的孩子， - What? - Lettice, that dreadful child,
她没出席审讯，仅此而已。 she wasn't at the inquest, that's all.
她已经不是孩子了，大到可以做个小T-A-R-T了。 Hardly a child, she's old enough to be a little T-A-R-T.
有其女必有其母。嗯,继母…… Like daughter, like mother. Well, stepmother...
-茶，牧师。-谢谢。 - Tea, Vicar. - Thank you.
是。现在… Yes... Now...
你确定不留下来喝茶吗，霍斯先生？ Oh, are you sure you won't stay for tea, Mr. Hawes?
怎么啦？不，谢谢。不，谢谢。 What? No, thank you. No, thank you.
是。哦,亲爱的。 Yes... Oh, dear.
嗯… Well...
所有的审讯都是这样吗？ Are all inquests like that?
我原以为整件事会更详细。 I was expecting the whole thing to be much more detailed.
警方的底牌都很保守， The police played their cards very close to their chests,
你不这么认为吗，马普尔小姐？ don't you think, Miss Marple?
嗯，就像他们手上的牌一样。 Well, such cards as they possess.
斯莱克探长不善于倾听。 Inspector Slack isn't very good at listening.
毫无疑问，他会学会的。 No doubt he'll learn.
在农村，一个人可以通过倾听学到很多东西 In a village one can learn a great deal by listening.
(电话响了) (PHONE RINGING)
非常感谢，夫人，谢谢。 Thank you very much, madam, thank you.
等一下。等一下。 Just a minute. Wait for it.
是。 Yes.
五点半，上校和普罗瑟罗太太乘车离开老宅第。 5:30, Colonel and Mrs. Protheroe leave Old Hall by car.
大约在同一时间，牧师接到了一个恶作剧电话 Now at approximately the same time, the vicar receives a hoax phone call
去艾伯特农场 to go to Abbott's Farm.
他的车也被人动过手脚。 And his car had been tampered with.
好吧，他在牧师公馆外面，在…40。 Right so, he's out the Vicarage by, uh... 5:40, say.
是。 Yes.
在6:10到6:15之间， And between 6:10 and 6:15,
普罗瑟罗上校来到牧师住宅。 Colonel Protheroe arrives at the Vicarage.
他被带进了书房 He's shown through to the study
大约五分钟后他的妻子出现了， and about five minutes later his wife turns up,
穿过花园通向书房。 comes via the garden going towards the study.
根据马普尔小姐的授权，不带枪。 On Miss Marple's authority, without a gun.
是。 Yes.
但很快就回来了，去了摄影棚 But almost immediately comes back and goes across to the studio
几分钟后，是她的情人雷丁 and a couple of minutes later, her lover Redding
出现了，他们都留在了演播室。 turns up and they both remain in the studio.
10分钟后，镜头响起。 And the shot comes 10 minutes later.
好。 Good.
马普尔小姐一直在她的花园里看到这一切。 And Miss Marple saw all this in her garden the whole time.
警察连钟都没提。 The police didn't even mention the clock.
这只会让事情变得混乱。 Well, it would only have confused things.
它显然被人动过手脚， It had obviously been tampered with,
所以作为证据，它是毫无用处的。 so as evidence it was quite useless.
不，让我吃惊的是他们对尸体旁的字条的处理方式。 No, it was their treatment of the note by the body that surprised me.
这位笔迹专家似乎很在行。 The handwriting expert seemed to know his onions.
是的，很明显是伪造的 Oh, yes, it was obviously a forgery
但我们不需要专家来告诉我们。 but we didn't need an expert to tell us that.
-不，反正这一切都错了。-什么意思？ - No, the thing was all wrong anyhow. - How do you mean?
你还记得上面写了什么吗？ Well, do you remember what it said?
“亲爱的克莱门特，恐怕我不能再等了……” "Dear Clement, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer..."
好吧，那是胡说八道。他到那里才几分钟。 Well, that's nonsense. He'd only been there a few minutes.
不，这是伪造的，但相当笨拙。 No, it was a forgery but rather a clumsy one.
恐怕我们要找的人都不太精明。 I'm afraid we're not dealing with anyone with any degree of subtlety.
松:没错。 SLACK: Right.
如果我们能证明普罗瑟罗的遗孀 If we prove that the Protheroe widow
而她的白马王子雷丁做不到，那还剩下谁呢？ and her fancy boy Redding couldn't have done it, who does that leave?
普罗瑟罗的女儿莱蒂斯， Protheroe's daughter, Lettice,
出去打网球，声称她不记得是什么时候离开的。 out playing tennis, claims she can't remember when she left.
其他证人证明 Other witnesses prove that
她有时间去那里做这件事。 she had time to get there and do it.
厌恶他的胆量，站在继承。 Loathed his guts, stands to inherit.
然后那个女人莱斯特兰奇在前一天拜访了普罗瑟罗。 Then that woman Lestrange visited Protheroe the day before.
仆人们听到了你们的争吵。 Servants overheard some kind of shouting match.
很明显他们之间有联系，而且她有机会。 Obviously there's a connection, and she had opportunity.
Haydock…… Haydock...
他当然有机会。 He had opportunity of course.
但我看不出动机。 But I can't see the motive.
所以… So...
如果我们假设上校是在我在花园里被枪杀的， If we are assuming that the Colonel was shot while I was in my garden,
那凶手一定来过 well, then the murderer must have come
从厨房门出去，或者…… through the kitchen door, or, well...
什么，马普尔小姐？ What, Miss Marple?
我已经进过屋子了。 Have already been in the house.
(钟收费) (BELLS TOLLING)
雷克：对不起，先生。斯莱克：什么？ LAKE: Excuse me, sir. SLACK: What?
-那把枪，先生-怎么了 - The gun, sir. - What about it?
这是从雷丁的画室偷来的，对吧？ Well, it was nicked from Redding's studio, wasn't it?
是牧师的女仆打扫的 Well, the vicar's maid cleans the place
上校威胁说要甩掉那个叫阿切尔的家伙 and the Colonel threatened to chuck that Archer bloke
因为偷猎被关进监狱。 back into chokey for poaching.
据说他只是在假释期间，在监狱里过得很糟糕。 He was only out on parole and he had a bad time inside they say.
根据村里的小道消息，亚彻有了外遇 Well, according to village gossip, Archer's having a bit of a thing
——和牧师公馆的女仆。-是吗，天哪？ -with the maid at the Vicarage. - Is he, by God?
正确的。 Right.
斯莱克：那么，牧师什么时候走的，5点35分吗？ SLACK: Now, the vicar left at when, 5:35?
好… Good...
-差不多吧。-什么意思？ - About then. - What do you mean about?
精确是非常重要的。 It's very important to be precise.
嗯，我不知道有人会来枪毙这头老猪，不是吗？ Well, I didn't know anyone was coming to shoot the old swine, did I?
不是吗? Didn't you?
-那是什么意思？-我们一会儿再谈这个。 - And what does that mean? - We'll come to that in a minute.
不，不，我们现在就来谈。你是什么意思？ No, we won't, we'll come to it now. What do you mean?
是的，探长，你有什么特别指控吗？ Yes, Inspector, do you have any specific charge?
我会想办法的，谢谢你，牧师。你是什么意思？ I'll manage, thank you, Vicar. And what do you mean?
你们能明白我的心情。有一个人 You know what I mean. There is a certain man
与你有某种关系的人。 with whom you are conducting a certain relationship.
如果你说的是比尔·阿彻，你就得这么说。 If you're talking about Bill Archer you say so.
是的，我了解他，而且比大多数人都了解。 Yes, I know him and better than most.
比大多数人都好。 Better than most.
你记下来了吗，莱克？ Have you got a note of that, Lake?
你知道普莱斯-雷德利太太看见阿切尔来了吧 You realize that Mrs. Price-Ridley saw Archer arrive
凶案发生的前一晚午夜过后在牧师公馆 at the Vicarage the night before the murder at past midnight.
——老乌鸦。-看见他被带进厨房。 - The old crow. - Saw him led into the kitchen.
没看到他离开。 Didn't see him leave.
——嗯…-他伤到自己了，不是吗？ - Um... - He hurt himself, didn't he.
他需要帮助。 He needed help.
克莱门特牧师：啊…… REVEREND CLEMENT: Ah...
他重重地摔了一跤。在树林里被绳子绊了一下。 He had a bad fall. Tripped over some sort of cord in the woods there.
-埋在树叶里。-什么树林？ - Buried it was in the leaves. - What woods?
就在牧师住宅旁边。所以他看到了一道光，所以… By the Vicarage here. So he saw a light, so...
-他在树林里干什么？——唠叨。你觉得呢？ - What was he doing in the woods? - Rabbiting. What do you think?
反正他也没有枪杀地方法官。 He wasn't shooting Magistrates anyway.
我给了他一杯茶。牧师。 I gave him a cup of tea. Vicar.
我想我们最好检查一下。详细告诉品客。 We'd better check it I suppose. Detail it to Pringle.
探长，我相信我有足够的信息供你调查。 Inspector, I believe I have information quite up to your investigation.
莱克、弗莱彻、品客…… Lake, Fletcher, Pringle...
(清了清喉咙) (CLEARS THROAT)
那么，夫人，我们能为您做些什么呢？ Now then, madam, what can we do for you?
有个男人在我的灌木丛里。我清楚地听到他打喷嚏的声音。 There was a man in my shrubbery. I distinctly heard him sneeze.
是的,夫人…… Yes, madam...
我大大改变了对玛丽的看法。 I've considerably revised my opinion of Mary.
真的。 Really.
她反抗斯莱克探长的方式太棒了。 The way she stood up to Inspector Slack was magnificent.
难怪我们是一个自由的国家。 No wonder we're a free country.
这是安·普罗瑟罗发来的。 This was sent down by Ann Protheroe.
"亲爱的牧师，我想知道你和格里塞尔达是否 "Dear Vicar, I wonder if you and Griselda
他会尽快来看我。 "would come up and see me as soon as possible.
“我应该非常感激。 "I should be very grateful.
“发生了一件非常奇怪的事情，我想听听您的意见。 "Something very strange has occurred and I should like some advice.
“你等等。” "Yours etc."
嗯，这是一个美好的夜晚。 Well, it's a nice evening.
我们骑车上去吧。 Let's cycle up.
晚上好，牧师。 Good evening, Vicar.
——哦。她走了。尾巴了。-鼻子朝下。 - Oh. There she goes. Tail up. - Nose down.
-下午好，莱蒂斯-哦… - Oh, good afternoon, Lettice. - Oh...
-要出去吗，霍斯先生？-我很快回来，索尔兹伯里夫人。 - Going out, Mr. Hawes? - I won't be long, Mrs. Salisbury.
-那么你要喝茶了？-哦，好的，谢谢。 - So you'll want your tea then? - Oh, yes, please.
我只是顺便去海多克医生那里。 I'm just popping round to Dr. Haydock's.
-哦，对不起…- - - - - -你好。 - Oh, sorry... - Hello.
你好吗？ How are you?
哦，你知道的。 Oh, well, you know.
相当。 Quite.
(狗叫声) (DOG BARKING)
这没什么不对的。 Well, there's nothing wrong there.
是的，但是，医生…… Yes, but, Doctor...
没什么好担心的，霍斯先生。 There's nothing to worry about, Mr. Hawes.
现在告诉我你的睡眠困难究竟是如何表现出来的。 Now tell me how exactly does your difficulty in sleeping manifest itself.
其实不是我，医生。 Well, it's not really me, Doctor.
是我的女房东和她的朋友。他们……他们说话。 It's my landlady and her friend. They... They talk.
我隔着墙都能听到。我听到了他们的片段 I can hear them through the wall. I hear snatches of what they're
但每当我听到我的名字 actually saying but whenever I hear my name
试着去听，他们在低语，我什么也听不见。 and try to listen, they whisper, and I can't hear a thing.
晚上还这样吗？ And this goes on at night?
是。只在晚上。 Yes. Only at night.
通常在我刚想睡觉时就开始了。 It usually starts as soon as I try to go to sleep.
嗯… Hmm...
我给你开一些药粉， I'm going to prescribe you some powders,
-这是一种放松剂。——正确的。 -which are a bit of a relaxant. - Right.
它们会让你感觉昏昏欲睡。 They'll help you to feel drowsy.
我希望你们下周末回来 And I want you to come back at the end of next week
——不管它们是否有效。——正确的。 -whether they work or not. - Right.
好了。 There we are.
所以树之间肯定钉了什么东西， So something was nailed up between those trees,
比如说一根绳子。 a rope let's say.
但是为什么呢? But why?
假设这些偷猎者就像丛林里的土著人， Suppose these poachers are like natives in the jungle,
他们总是沿着同样的小路穿过树林。 they always follow the same trails through the woods.
但是为什么有人…… But why should anyone...
不，这只是又一个值得记录的神秘事件。 No, it's just another ruddy mystery to chalk up.
那个叫Price-Ridley的女人是怎么说的？ What did that Price-Ridley woman have to say for herself?
她说上校指控霍斯犯了小偷小偷的罪。 Well, she says the Colonel has as good as accused Hawes of petty theft.
她自己也这么认为。教会基金的钱不见了。 She reckons something like it herself. Money's missing from the church fund.
是的，她觉得她在灌木丛里听到了凶手的声音。 Oh, yes, and she thinks she heard the murderer in the shrubbery.
估计她听到他打喷嚏了。 Reckons she heard him sneeze.
所以我们要做的就是找一个拿着鼻涕手帕的人。 So all we've got to do is find someone with a snotty handkerchief.
我听到他的声音时，我正在花园里给我的鸟盘补充食物。 I was out in the garden replenishing my bird tray when I heard him.
我想，“那是一个不该呆在原地的人。” Well, I thought, "That's someone who has no business being where they are."
于是我蹑手蹑脚地进了屋，上楼进了卧室…… So I crept indoors and I went upstairs into my bedroom...
你看到…我从那里可以看到灌木丛 You see... I can see into the shrubbery from there
但当我到那里时，他已经不见了。 but when I got there he had disappeared.
我觉得是亚彻。 Well, I think it was Archer.
你觉得怎么样，简？ What do you think, Jane?
马普尔小姐。 Miss Marple.
安：我把它带下来是因为…… ANN: I brought it down here because...
我也不知道为什么。不知道你是否介意帮我把它拿走。 Well, I don't know why. I wonder if you'd mind taking it away for me.
当然不是。这是可怕的。 Of course not. It's horrible.
我想它不应该被毁掉。 I suppose it shouldn't be destroyed.
你看，以防它们之间有某种联系。 You see, in case it's connected in some way.
格里塞尔达：我明天上来取。 GRISELDA: I'll come up and fetch it tomorrow.
我都不知道是谁的。 I don't even know who it's of.
这真是一件不愉快的事。 It's such an unpleasant incident.
我敢肯定这不是我认识的人的肖像。 I'm sure it isn't a portrait of anyone I know.
为什么会影响到我？ Why should it affect me?
格里塞尔达：最重要的是。 GRISELDA: On top of everything else.
我知道。我知道。 I know. I know.
这就像是对某人的攻击。 It's like an attack on someone.
亵渎…… A desecration of...
使这个地方更难以… Makes the place even more difficult to...
哦，Wame和他的妻子很好，但是…… Oh, Wame and his wife are very sweet but...
你为什么不来和我们一起住呢？ Why don't you come and stay with us?
我可以吗? May I?
也许在劳伦斯走后。 Perhaps after Lawrence has gone.
你知道，我已经把他打发走了。 I've sent him away, you know.
他一整理好工作室就会走的。 He'll be gone as soon as he's sorted out the studio.
如果他留在这里就不可能了。 It would have been impossible here if he'd stayed.
这番话简直是亵渎神明。 The talk is positively blasphemous.
这一切似乎都是其中的一部分，但我不知道是怎么回事。 That all seems to be part of it somehow, but I don't know how.
这地方的空气里都有毒。 There's poison in the very atmosphere of this place.
它似乎无处不在。 It seems to work its way in everywhere.
无处不在…… Everywhere...
我得走了。这对安不公平。 I've got to go. It wouldn't be fair to Ann.
她会坚持下去的。 She's going to hang on.
这破地方的时代标志。 Just a sign of the times in this wretched place.
为了表示她不感到羞耻。 To show she's not ashamed.
然后我们就结婚。 Then we'll get married.
（叹气）我向上帝祈祷，如果不是这样就好了。 (SIGHS) I wish to God it hadn't had to be like this.
但安现在独立了，她可以唾弃这个村庄和它的一切。 But Ann's independent now and she can spit on this village and all its works.
你我都能理解这种态度。 You and I can sympathize with that attitude.
我有时会被嫉妒的上帝所吸引。 I sometimes feel very drawn to a jealous God.
到底是谁干的，牧师？ Who the hell could have done it, Vicar?
我不知道。 I don't know.
有时我觉得是某人… Sometimes I feel it was someone who...
不，没关系。 No, never mind.
我来告诉你我的想法。 I'll tell you what I think.
我觉得是某个疯子干的。 I think it was someone who was crazy.
普罗瑟罗当然有敌人，但要杀死他…… Protheroe had enemies, sure, but to kill him...
不，我想是有人失控了。 No, I think someone just tipped over the edge.
这地方还有谁会对他恨之入骨吗？ Is there anyone in this place who could have hated him enough otherwise?
晚安，Lawrence。(门关闭) - REVEREND CLEMENT: Good night, Lawrence. -(DOOR CLOSING)
海多克医生：牧师…… DR. HAYDOCK: Vicar...
我能说句话吗？ Could I have a word?
是关于霍斯的。 It's about Hawes.
克莱门特牧师：幻听？ REVEREND CLEMENT: Hearing voices?
霍斯? Hawes?
仔细想想，是的。 Come to think of it, yes.
我以为你能告诉我。 I thought you'd be able to tell me.
我称之为精神病，但你也可以说这是上帝的声音。 I call it psychotic but you may say it's the voice of God.
一切皆有可能。 Anything is possible.
要看声音说了什么。 Depends what the voices said.
他还没告诉我。 He hasn't told me.
我得说他使我感到很不自在。 I must say he strikes me as a fish out of water.
在敏感。 Over sensitive.
是的，他可能反应更强烈了 Yes, he's probably reacting more strongly
比我们大多数人更了解这可怕的事情。 to this horrible business than most of us.
天知道它影响了整个地方。 Goodness knows it's affected the whole place.
明天我会让格里塞尔达跟他谈谈。 I'll get Griselda to have a word with him tomorrow.
据她说，我恐吓他。 I intimidate him, according to her.
松:现在… SLACK: Now...
在谋杀的前一天 The day before the murder,
你让海多克医生开车送你去老礼堂。 you got Dr. Haydock to drive you to the Old Hall.
是的，我去找普罗瑟罗上校。 Yes, I did, to speak to Colonel Protheroe.
你能告诉我那次面试的性质吗？ Can you indicate to me the nature of that interview?
否。 No.
恐怕我必须坚持，莱斯特兰奇夫人。 I'm afraid I must insist, Mrs. Lestrange.
不,检查员。 No, Inspector.
我向你保证，我们在面谈时没有说什么 I will assure you that nothing which was said at the interview
可能有任何关系… could possibly have any bearing...
我们有这方面的声明 We have statements to the effect
这次采访变得非常激烈。 that this interview got very acrimonious.
普洛瑟罗上校肯定是发脾气了。 Colonel Protheroe lost his temper certainly.
但后来他就有了这种倾向。 But then he was prone to that.
我没有，我也没有。 I am not, and I didn't.
你也不告诉我你们谈了什么。 And you won't tell me what was discussed.
否。 No.
Le-bloody-strange太太…… Mrs. Le-bloody-strange...
我知道她的把戏，勒索。 I know her game, blackmail.
她在勒索普罗瑟罗。 She was blackmailing Protheroe.
他拒绝付钱，威胁要揭发她。 He refused to pay, threatened to expose her.
检查员。 Inspector.
你在审问莱斯特兰奇夫人吗？ Have you been questioning Mrs. Lestrange?
尝试。 Trying to.
我能私下说句话吗？ Could I have a word in confidence?
我本想在你进去见她之前见到你。 I had hoped to catch you before you went in to see her.
这是绝对保密的，你明白… This is in the strictest confidence, you understand...
我们必须问自己一个问题， We have to ask ourselves the question,
尤金和莫里斯是徒劳无功而死的吗？ did Eugene and Morris work and die in vain?
难道我们要像联邦的普通阶级那样排斥美吗？ Are we to banish beauty like the common class of the commonwealth?
我得补充一句，他是世上最邪恶的人之一。 Among the most evil men who ever lived, I may add.
你知道，美的敌人就是上帝的敌人。 The enemies of beauty are the enemies of God, you know.
格里塞尔达：我同意。 GRISELDA: I agree.
哦…… Oh...
你想去。我很抱歉。 You want to go. I'm sorry.
谢谢你的光临。 Thank you for popping round.
不,不。它……我很荣幸。 No, no. It... It was a pleasure.
你确定你没事吗？ Look, are you sure you're all right?
是的，当然。 Yes, of course.
那我们明天早上见。 Then I'll see you at Matins tomorrow.
马普尔小姐：我想，我相信 MISS MARPLE: I think, I believe
你是个世故的女人 that you are a sophisticated woman
当然，我这么说并不仅仅是指外表。 and by that, of course, I don't mean merely in terms of appearance.
所以我相信当我说我的建议是 So that I'm sure you'll understand when I say that my advice would be
再误导人们是没有意义的。 that there is no point in misleading people any longer.
我明白，当然，这是必要的， I understand, of course, it was necessary,
你刚来的时候，为了大家好， when you first came, for everyone's sake,
尤其是孩子的 most especially the child's
但现在一切都变了，不是吗？ but now everything's changed, hasn't it?
尤其是你好像已经告诉她了。 Especially as you seem to have told her anyway.
所以我觉得你现在应该开诚布公 So I think you should let it out in the open now
在它引起一些可怕的问题之前。 before it causes some dreadful problems.
你在说什么，马普尔小姐？ What are you saying, Miss Marple?
莱蒂斯是你女儿，对吗？ Lettice is your daughter, isn't she?
(钢琴演奏) (PIANO PLAYING)
——安。——什么? - Ann. - What?
你喜欢劳伦斯吗？ Do you love Lawrence?
是。 Yes.
-对不起。-没事的。 - I'm sorry. - It's all right.
(吹口哨) (WHISTLING)
安：我就是喜欢。 ANN: I just do.
(继续吹口哨) (CONTINUES WHISTLING)
我不介意。 I don't mind.
你比他大得多，不是吗？ You're much older than he is, aren't you?
怎么啦？ What?
如果劳伦斯抛弃了你，你会绝望吗？ Would you be desperate if Lawrence chucked you over?
是你干的，是不是，安？ You did it, didn't you, Ann?
你杀了爸爸。 You killed Daddy.
你杀了他，所以你… You killed him so that you...
这样你和劳伦斯…(哭泣) So that you and Lawrence... (SOBS)
(吹) (BLOWS)
（车门关闭） (CAR DOOR CLOSING)
(打开门) (GATE OPENING)
(脚步声) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
安：我不进来了。 ANN: I'm not coming in.
我只是来告诉你别让你那该死的女儿进入我的生活 I've just come to tell you to keep your bloody daughter out of my life
让她把那些愚蠢的想法藏起来。 and tell her to keep her bloody stupid ideas to herself.
这个国家有一项法律叫刑事诽谤，你知道， There's a law called criminal libel in this country, you know,
如果我的名字被抹黑，我就该死 and I'm damned if I'm going to have my name smeared
被一个像她一样笨的小骚货。 by a half-witted little tart like her.
哦，你这个可怜的家伙。 Oh, you poor thing.
别担心。莱蒂丝要来和我住。 Don't worry. Lettice is coming to stay with me.
哦，进来吧！ Oh, come in!
我们都受了那个人太多的罪不能做朋友。 We've both suffered too much at the hands of that man not to be friends.

克莱门特牧师：我今天的经文选自《诗篇》第15篇。 REVEREND CLEMENT: My text today is taken from Psalm 15.
“耶和华说的。他将安息在你的圣山上， "Lord. who shall rest on thy holy hill,
"他在世的时候未曾行诡诈 "even he that hath used no deceit in his time
“也没有毁谤他的邻舍” "and hath not slandered his neighbor."
我的朋友们，在这条短信的意义上，我们都是邻居。 My friends, we are all, in the meaning of that text, neighbors.
我们中间有心地纯洁的人， Amongst us are some who are pure in heart,
他会悲伤地听我说， who'll hear with sorrow what I have to say,
勉励自己效法上帝伟大的儿子 urging themselves in imitation of God's great son
宽恕那些我所请求的人， to forgiveness of those whom I address,
我自己也在其中。 amongst whom I include myself.
恐怖的暴力行为 An act of horrible violence
我的邻居们，残酷的事情就发生在我们中间， and cruelty has taken place amongst us, my neighbors,
无论我们最终发现的原因是什么， and whatever we shall discover the reason finally to be,
我相信这绝不是偶然事件。 I believe that this was no mere accidental occurrence.
地面准备好了， The ground was prepared,
采取这种行动的时机已经成熟。 the time was ripe for such a deed.
我们几乎所有人都参与其中 We are almost all of us involved
参与其中的人都有罪。 and those who are involved are guilty.
我恳求你不要用世俗的眼光看待它， And I beg you do not look at it with mundane eyes,
用怜悯、辩解和日常借口的眼神。 with the eyes of pity, justification, everyday excuses.
用永恒的眼光来看待它。 Look at it with the eyes of eternity.
总有一天我们都会受到审判 For one day we shall all be judged
我们不能被当作重新辅导过的孩子。 and we shall not be treated like re-counseled children.
我们将被永恒的审判者的眼睛观察 We shall be viewed with the eyes of that eternal judge
谁绝对衡量我们的行动。 who weighs our actions absolutely.
愤怒的迷雾， A fog of anger,
我不需要提醒在座的任何人，愤怒是致命的罪恶之一。 and I need remind no one here that anger is one of the deadly sins.
愤怒的迷雾笼罩着被谋杀的人。 A fog of anger surrounded the murdered man.
一团迷雾，也许被宽恕的光明驱散了。 A fog which the bright light of forgiveness may have dispersed.
我们中有多少人能说我们甚至在自己的心里找到了 How many of us can say that we found in our hearts even
一根宽恕的小蜡烛，照亮我们走过黑暗的路。 a penny candle of forgiveness to light our way through that gloom.
很少，我怀疑，我知道我没有。 Few, I suspect, and I know I did not.
我们中间有一个人要踏上黑暗的旅程， There is one among us who has a dark journey to make,
他违背了一切诫命中最大的诫命。 one who has broken the mightiest of all commandments.
让我们祈祷这个人已经开始了 Let us all pray that this person has already started
在他看似不可能的旅程中 on his seemingly impossible journey
向着造物主的光芒， towards the light of our maker's presence,
只有它才能原谅不可原谅的人。 which alone can forgive the unforgiveable.
我们其余的人呢？ What of the rest of us?
从我深深的忏悔中，我恳求你， From the depths of my contrition, I beg you,
加入我，与我同行， join me, journey with me,
把你的恳求和我的一同献上。 offer your supplication with mine.
求造物主为我们的灵魂代祷 Call upon our maker to intercede for our souls
免得我们的罪永远玷污他们 that our sins may not have stained them forever
在宽恕的希望之光下，让我们宽恕吧 and in the light of that hoped for forgiveness let us forgive
因为他会原谅我们 as he shall forgive us
并且放弃那些如果我们继续下去必将诅咒我们的东西。 and renounce that which shall surely damn us if we continue.
以圣父，圣子，圣灵之名。阿们。 In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

是的，非常有趣。 Most interesting, yes.
牧师,你……你已经重新布置了你的房间。 Vicar, you've... You've rearranged your room.

我想起了那个可怕的夜晚 I thought the memory of that awful evening
也许会消散，如果我… might perhaps be dissipated if I...

不，那是在大厅里。 No, that was out there in the lobby.

霍斯曾试图结束自己的生命。 Hawes has attempted to take his own life.
马普尔小姐：哦，谢谢你，索尔兹伯里夫人。 MISS MARPLE: Oh, thank you, Mrs. Salisbury.
医生正在来的路上。 The doctor is on his way.
他很虚弱。 He's very weak.
我很惊讶。 I'm most surprised.
霍斯先生吗? Mr. Hawes?
看看这个。 Look at this.
这是普罗瑟罗上校被杀前写的。 It's what Colonel Protheroe was writing before he was killed.
它指控克里斯托弗·霍斯从教堂基金中偷窃。 It accuses Christopher Hawes of stealing from the church fund.
-天啊，天啊，天啊。-一定是这个，不是吗？ - Oh, dear, dear, dear. - That must be it, mustn't it?
那张肯定是真的，另一张是伪造的。 That must be the real note, the other was a forgery.
哦,是的。这是他做的最后一件凡人的事。 Oh, yes. This is the last mortal thing he did.
霍斯试图打电话坦白。 Hawes was trying to telephone to confess.
克里斯托弗·霍斯是个杀人犯，太可怕了。 Christopher Hawes a murderer, it's frightening.
这得看他想坦白什么，对吧 Well, it depends, doesn't it, on what he wanted to confess to
如果他真的想认罪， and if he really did want to confess,
为什么他要自杀呢？ why did he try to kill himself before doing so?
-如果他有。——吗? - If he did. - Did?
试图自杀。 Try to kill himself.
哦，对不起，亲爱的， Oh, I'm sorry, my dear,
我只是想习惯自己有多蠢。 I'm just trying to get used to how stupid I've been.
索尔兹伯里夫人：他们在楼上。 MRS. SALISBURY: They're upstairs.
哦…… Oh...
医生，看起来他好像服药过量了 It looks, Doctor, as if he'd taken an overdose
我看到你给他的那些粉末 of those powders which I see you've given him,
但我求你对这件事保持开放的心态。 but I beg you to keep an open mind on that.
我相信，你看，它本来就是这个样子的。 I believe, you see, that it was meant to look like that.
-你怎么看？-天晓得。 - What do you reckon? - God knows.
这是有可能的。 It's possible.
在这该死的行当里什么都有可能。 Anything's possible in this damn business.
可能是副牧师干的。 The curate could have done it.
可能是医生干的。 The doctor could have done it.
在我看来，可能是教堂里的猫干的。 The church cat could have done it as far as I'm concerned.
这行只有一件事是肯定的， There's only one thing about this business that's certain,
无论你走到哪里 wherever you turn
有一个人永远在你身边。 there's one person who'll always be there.
晚上好，探长。 Good evening, Inspector.
他服毒了。不管他是有意还是无意。 He took poison. Whether he meant to or not.
我开的镇定剂不会有这种效果。 The tranquillizers I prescribed couldn't have this effect.
它们基本上是肌肉松弛剂， They were muscle relaxants, basically,
它们的颜色看起来有点不对。 and their color looked slightly wrong.
我去分析一下。 I'll get them analyzed.
不管怎样，这是一触即发的。打扰一下。 Anyways, it's touch and go. Excuse me.
啧啧,啧啧…… Tsk, tsk...
-马普尔小姐……-他不是故意的，探长 - Miss Marple... - He didn't intend to, Inspector.
有人有意让他这么做。 Someone intended him to.
谁? Who?
索尔兹伯里夫人瞥见了那个人 Well, Mrs. Salisbury had a glimpse of the person
他在天黑后拜访了霍斯先生 who visited Mr. Hawes after dark this evening,
她暗地里想。 rather surreptitiously she thought.
谢天谢地，她是个爱打听的人。 She is, thank heaven, an inquisitive body.
是谁，马普尔小姐？ Who was it, Miss Marple?
当然是凶手。 The murderer, of course.
现在我可以提出一个小策略吗？ Now may I propose a little stratagem?
哦。哦，对了。 Oh. Oh, that's right.
我要找的就是他。 That's who I wanted to speak to.
你知道，发生了一场非常可怕的事故。 There's been a most awful accident, you know.
他们说，可怜的霍斯先生自杀了。 Poor Mr. Hawes took his life, they say.
是的，他死了。或者good as。 Yes, he's dead. Or good as.
永远也出不来了。 Won't ever come out of it.
他们估计天黑前他就死了。 They reckon he'll be dead before the night's out.
他们都走了，谢天谢地。 Oh, they've all gone now, thank goodness.
警察来过，什么都有。 Police were here, everything.
我… I...
我没告诉他们我看到你之前来过。 I didn't tell them that I saw you come around earlier.
我以为你不想掺和进来， I thought you wouldn't want to be mixed up in it,
但鉴于你是可怜的霍斯先生的朋友 but as you were a friend of poor Mr. Hawes,
我想你会想知道… I thought you'd like to know...

雷丁先生…… Mr. Redding...
有一张纸条。 There's a note.
马普尔小姐：我可以看看吗？ MISS MARPLE: May I see it?
哦!谢谢你，探长。是。哦,亲爱的… Oh! Oh, thank you, Inspector. Yes. Oh, dear...
哦…… Oh...
但是为什么可怜的安·普罗瑟罗要结束自己的生命呢？ But why did poor Ann Protheroe take her own life?
你觉得她怀疑雷丁射杀了普罗瑟罗吗 Do you think she suspected that Redding had shot Protheroe
无法忍受？ and couldn't live with it?
哦,不。 Oh, no.
哦,不。否。否。 Oh, no. No. No.
