马龙探案卷四 之 正确的凶案 十二
“他一个小时内都不会动一下眼皮。” 海伦指着后座上的乘客说。“但是对于一辆偷来的车，最好的处理办法是什么呢？”
“He won’t move an eyelash for another hour,” Helene said, referring to the passenger in the back seat. “But what’s the best thing to do with a stolen car?”
“别再开着它在州街上来回跑了。” 马龙生气地说。她拐进了瓦克大道的下层车道，他松了一口气。“你真幸运，我能这么快穿好衣服。我当时在床上。”
“To stop driving it up and down State Street,” Malone said crossly. She swung into the lower level of Wacker Drive, and he breathed easier. “It’s a good thing for you I’m able to get dressed in a hurry. I was in bed.”
“我得说你创了穿衣最快的记录。”
“I will say you made it in record time.”
“那，” 他告诉她，“这就是始终保持冷静和头脑清醒的结果。人一激动就会惹麻烦。我从不会忘记自己在做什么。”
“That,” he told her, “is what es of always being calm and cool-headed. It’s when you get excited that you get into trouble. I never forget what I’m doing.”
海伦说：“尽管如此，我还是忍不住想知道为什么你的裤脚下面露出两英寸的睡裤，还有为什么你只穿了一只袜子。”
Helene said, “Just the same, I can’t help wondering why there’s two inches of pajama pants showing below your trouser cuffs and why you only have one sock on.”
马龙气愤地沉默着。她过了河，然后在格兰德大道向西拐。
Malone was indignantly silent. She crossed the river and turned west on Grand Avenue
“这一切是怎么发生的？” 律师最后问道。
“How did all this happen?” the lawyer asked at last.
“房子里晚上已经很安静了。每个人都睡了。我睡不着。我想是有什么事在我脑子里。不管怎样，我在楼下转了一会儿，最后决定回我的房间。当我上楼梯的时候，我发现这个笨蛋在四处游荡，好像在找图伊兹先生的尸体。他似乎觉得自己把尸体忘在什么地方了。”
“The house had pretty well quieted down for the night. Everyone was in bed. I couldn’t sleep. Something on my mind, I guess. Anyway, I prowled around downstairs for a while and finally decided to go up to my room. When I got up the stairs I found this dope wandering around looking for Mr. Tuesday’s body. He seemed to think he’d mislaid it somewhere.”
“他不知道警察已经把尸体带走了吗？”
“Didn’t he know the police had taken it away?”
“他甚至都不知道警察已经找到了尸体。别忘了他一直醉得不省人事呢。”
“He didn’t even know the police had found it. Remember he was passed out cold all that time.”
