The little lawyer laid them in a neat stack, sighed deeply, and turned his attention to the rest of the mail. Advertisements went in the wastebasket, so did three smallish envelopes, addressed in three different feminine handwritings. He opened four business letters, noted the dates and the signatures, and placed them in the file marked “Unread Correspondence.” He glanced through a fifth business letter and placed it in the file marked “Unanswered Correspondence.” The rest were bills.
他打开萨克斯百货的账单，看到那个来自巴黎咖啡馆的长腿黑发女子在和一个失业的单簧管演奏者去纽约之前，用他的账户买了六双长筒袜和一条紧身内衣的费用，他把账单揉成一个紧实的小纸团，扔到破旧的皮沙发下面。他快速看了一眼大楼物业管理公司送来的账单，读了用漂亮的斯宾塞字体写的措辞礼貌的便条，然后下定决心一旦有钱就把房租付了。他把那张账单塞进外套口袋，把其余的都扫进废纸篓，双手交叉放在脑后，向后靠在椅子上思考事情。
He opened the bill from Saks, saw that the long-legged brunette from Chez Paree had put six pairs of stockings and a girdle on his charge account before going to New York with an unemployed clarinet player, crumpled the bill into a tight little wad, and threw it under the worn leather couch. He took a quick look at the bill sent by the building management, read the politely worded note written in fine, Spencerian handwriting, and made a resolution to pay up the rent as soon as he had some money. He stuffed that bill in his coat pocket, swept the rest into the wastebasket, folded his hands behind his head, and leaned back in his chair to think things over.
那个漂亮的黑发女秘书把头探进来说：“我把所有的支票存根和银行对账单都核对过了。你的账户透支了十七美元五十美分。”
The pretty, black-haired secretary stuck her head in the door and said, “I’ve gone over all the the check stubs and the bank statement. You’re overdrawn exactly seventeen dollars and fifty cents.”
“那棒极了。” 马龙冷冰冰地说。“打电话给所有欠我钱的人，看看我们现在的情况怎么样。”
“That’s just dandy,” Malone said icily. “Call up all the people who owe me money and see where we stand.”
她轻蔑地看了他一眼。“如果不是你一直在和女人鬼混 ——”
