“我只是想知道，为什么拉塞拉那天那么急着要找杰克，仅此而已，” 马龙平静地说。
“I just thought I’d like to find out why La Cerra was so 腺样要对齐英文原文，可能有些地方表述有误。正确表述为 “I just thought I'd like to find out why La Cerra was so anxious to get hold of Jake the other day, that's all,” Malone said smoothly.
“我会让你们问他，” 这个匪徒愉快地说。他提高嗓门，吼道：“小乔治！” 过了一会儿，小乔治?拉塞拉出现了。自从他们上次见到他以来，他似乎发生了些变化。甚至海伦也能看出他已经变了。
“I’ll let you ask him,” the gangster said cheerfully. He raised his voice and bellowed, “Georgie!” A moment later Little Georgie la Cerra appeared. Something seemed to have happened to him since the last time they had seen him. Even Helene could tell that he was a changed man.
“抱歉，他给你朋友添了些麻烦。对此我很抱歉，” 马克斯?胡克歉意地对马龙说。“他是个冲动的人。当我告诉他该做什么时，他就会觉得必须去完成，不管不顾的。你看就是这样。”
“The cherry, he caused your friend some annoyance. I’m sorry about that,” Max Hook said apologetically to Malone. “The Cherry, he’s impulsive. When I tell him he should do something, he feels like he’s got to get it done, regardless. See.”
马龙面无表情地点了点头。
Malone nodded impassively.
“所以，当你的朋友那天晚上在冈布里尔的房间里被抓时，自然会想到他可能在那里看见了什么。我说得对吗？”
‘So when your friend here got picked up in Gumbril’s room that night, naturally it was logical to figure he might have stumbled onto something there, wasn’t it? Am I right?”
律师再次点了点头。“你说得对。但如果杰克发现了任何与奥格特里绑架案有关的证据，你可以随时拿走。”
The lawyer nodded again. “You are. But if Jake had found any evidence pertaining to the Ogletree snatch, you could have had it and wele.”
胡克盯着他。“如果你知道我对这个感兴趣，那他肯定发现了些什么。”
Hook stared at him. “He must have found something, if you know that’s what I was interested in.”
“他没有。他在找别的东西，但也没找到。我碰巧知道是乔治处理过奥格特里的绑架案，事情是通过冈布里尔进行的。仅此而已。”
“He didn’t. He was looking for something else, and he didn’t find that either. I happened to know it was Georgie who handled the Ogletree snatch, and that it went through Gumbril. That’s all.”
