評(píng)論

The car swung to a standstill at the highest point of the curve and Harry turned his back and gazed out of the window. Martins thought: One good shove and I could break the glass, and he pictured the body falling, falling, through the iron struts, a piece of carrion dropping among the flies. He said, "You know the police are planning to dig up your body. What will they find?"
座艙搖搖擺擺地升到軌道的最頂部，停了下來(lái)，哈里轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身去盯著窗外。馬丁斯心想：如果我猛推一把，就能把玻璃打碎。他似乎看見那身體往下落呀，落呀，穿過(guò)鋼鐵支架，就像一塊腐肉落到了蒼蠅堆里。他說(shuō)你知道警察正計(jì)劃著要挖出你的尸體。他們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)什么呢？”
Harbin, Harry replied with simplicity. He turned away from the window and said, "Look at the sky."
“哈賓，”哈里簡(jiǎn)單地回答。他從窗戶那兒轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身來(lái)說(shuō)看看天空。”
The car had reached the top of the Wheel and hung there motionless, while the stain of the sunset ran in streaks over the wrinkled papery sky beyond the black girders.
座艙已經(jīng)到了摩天輪的頂部，懸在那里一動(dòng)不動(dòng)。這時(shí)，黒色鋼架之外落日的余輝散射在空中，像褶皺紙涂上了色彩。
Why did the Russians try to take Anna Schmidt?
“為什么俄國(guó)人千方百計(jì)要帶走安娜·施密特？”
She had false papers, old man.
“她手上有假證件，老兄。”
Who told them?
“誰(shuí)告訴他們的？”
The price of living in this zone, Rollo, is service. I have to give them a little information now and then.
“羅洛，在這個(gè)地區(qū)生存的代價(jià)是要提供服務(wù)。我得不時(shí)地向他們提供一些情報(bào)?！?/div>
I thought perhaps you were just trying to get her here—because she was your girl? Because you wanted her?
“我原以為你也許在設(shè)法把她弄到這里來(lái)——因?yàn)樗悄愕呐?？或者因?yàn)槟阈枰俊?/div>
Harry smiled. "I haven't all that influence."
哈里微笑著說(shuō)我沒(méi)有那么大的能耐?！?/div>
What would have happened to her?
“那她會(huì)怎么樣呢？”
Nothing very serious. She'd have been sent back to Hungary. There's nothing against her really. A year in a labour camp perhaps. She'd be infinitely better off in her own country than being pushed around by the British police.
“沒(méi)什么嚴(yán)重的。她會(huì)被送回匈牙利。沒(méi)有對(duì)她不利的確鑿證據(jù)。只不過(guò)或許要在勞教所待一年。她在自己的國(guó)家待著絕對(duì)要比被英國(guó)警察差來(lái)遣去強(qiáng)得多。”
