马龙探案卷四 之 正确的凶案 二十四
“我在医生的办公室里。”杰克说，“我不在医生的办公室里。”他自己的声音把他吵醒了。他很高兴地确定自己在自己的房间和自己的床上，这让他感到安心。这是一个非常糟糕的梦。
“I am in a doctor’s office,” Jake said. “I am not in a doctor’s office.” The sound of his own voice wakened him. He was pleasantly reassured to find that he was in his own room and his own bed. It had been a very bad dream.
他环顾了一下房间，只是为了确认一下。
He looked around the room, just to make sure.
在拜访了利奥纳多·亨尼西医生之后，海伦和罗斯·麦克劳林被送回了莫娜·麦克莱恩家。要从这个年轻人不断忘记又不断想起来的事情中挖掘出真相，似乎是不可能的了。此外，他长时间的失踪可能会引起令人尴尬的问题。
After the visit to Dr. Leonardo Hennessey, Helene and Ross McLaurin had been delivered back to Mona McClane’s. The task of digging out what the young man continued to forget to remember seemed hopeless. In addition, his prolonged disappearance was likely to cause embarrassing questions.
海伦仍然坚持要留在莫娜·麦克莱恩家。稍微想了一下，杰克就能明白这其中的道理，但他还是不喜欢这样。在这里，他们之间的所有分歧都消失了，但到目前为止，他最多也只是在一辆拥挤的出租车里亲了她一下。
Helene had still insisted on remaining at Mona McClane’s. On a little reflection Jake could see the wisdom of it, but he still didn’t like it. Here all the differences between them were made up, and so far he hadn’t managed anything more than a kiss in a taxicab, and a crowded taxicab at that.
他正为此事苦恼的时候，电话响了。是海伦打来的。
He was brooding over this when the telephone rang. It was Helene.
“你应该在床上睡觉。”他对着电话咆哮道。
“You ought to be asleep in bed,” he growled into the phone.
“我醒了，在大厅里。现在是早上十点。”
“I’m awake and down in the lobby. It’s ten o’clock in the morning.”
“上来吧。”
“Come on up.”
“我不想让你为难。记住，我们分开了。而且，没时间了。莫娜……”
“I don’t want to promise you. Remember, we’re separated. Besides, there isn’t time. Mona—”
“莫娜不行。我喜欢金发女郎。”
“Mona won’t do. I like blondes.”
“杰克，你疯了吗？”
“Jake, have you lost your mind?”
“如果我疯了，那我是把理智留在亨尼西医生那儿了。你要上来吗？”
“If I have, I left it at Dr. Hennessey’s. Are you ing up here?”
