“现在听着。” 马龙说，试图让自己的语气听起来严厉一些，但却很含糊。
“Now look here,” Malone said, with a vague attempt at sounding stern.
她又擤了擤鼻子，用痛苦而又茫然的大眼睛看着他。“杰瑞和这起谋杀案没有任何关系。”
She blew her nose again and looked at him with wide, miserable eyes. “Jerry didn’t have anything to do with the murder.”
“女人的直觉是不够的。” 马龙说。“还是你确实知道？”
“Womanly intuition isn’t enough,” Malone said. “Or do you know, for sure?”
她把最后一缕潮湿的头发别到后面。“他想和佩维利参议员交朋友。因为他和弗洛伦斯订了婚。而参议员不喜欢他。他跟我这么说过。”
She pinned back the last strand of damp hair. “He was trying to make friends with Senator Peveley. Because he was engaged to Florence. And Senator Peveley didn’t like him. He told me so.”
“佩维利参议员？” 马龙问道，努力跟上她的话。
“Senator Peveley?” Malone asked, trying to keep up.
“不。杰瑞。他和弗洛伦斯订了婚，参议员不喜欢他，所以他想和他交朋友，所以他当然不会杀了他。”
“No. Jerry. He was engaged to marry Florence, and the Senator didn't like him, and so he was trying to make friends with him, and so of course he wouldn't have murdered him.”
“完全正确。” 海伦同情地说。“我也不是那样和人交朋友的。”
“That's perfectly right,” Helene said sympathetically. “That isn't the way I make friends with people, either.”
在马龙看来，这里面似乎有一点逻辑，但他就是抓不住。他正要问另一个问题，这时阿琳?高奇站起来，把粉盒放进手提包，打开了门。她又开始哭了起来。
It seemed to Malone that there was a grain of logic there somewhere, but he couldn't just put his finger on it. He started to ask another question, when Arlene Goudge rose, tucked her pact in her purse, and opened the door. She was beginning to cry again.
“我怀孕了。” 她几乎是愤慨地说，然后摔门而去。
“I'm going to have a baby,” she said almost indignantly, and slammed the door on her way out.
有足足三十秒没人说话。汤姆?伯罗斯的脸先是变白，然后变红，接着又变白。突然他冲出门去，门关上的时候他们能听到他在说：“等等，阿琳。可是，阿琳 ——”
For a good thirty seconds nobody said anything. Tom Burrows turned white, then red, then white again. Suddenly he dived out the door, as it slammed they could hear him saying, “Wait, Arlene. But, Arlene -”
