是在结束侦讯 希莫加在哪儿

-I beg your pardon? -Shimoga, where is it?
啊 我没去过那儿 虽然我是在西北边境呆过
Well, it’s a bit off my track. I’m a Northwest Frontier man myself.
但希莫加在迈索尔邦 很靠南 怎么了
But Shimoga’s down south, in Mysore. Why?

我怎么会知道 传教团在印度多如繁星
How the hell should I know? India’s pustular with missions.
您这次是从印度回英国吗

我在迦勒底的吾珥古城住了一晚
I stopped for one night to see Ur of the Chaldees,
吾珥 古代美索不达米亚南部[苏美尔]的重要城市 位于今伊♥拉♥克♥境内
又与一个空军指挥官朋友
and for three days in Baghdad with the A.O.C.,
在巴格达呆了三天
who happens to be a friend of mine.
那位来自英国的德本汉小姐也去过巴格达
The English Miss Debenham also has traveled from Baghdad.
本案的作案人有可能是个女的
It is possible the murder was committed by a woman
或者一男一女合谋
or by a man and a woman in collaboration.
依您对德本汉小姐的了解
From your acquaintanceship with Miss Debenham,
从体力以及情感因素分♥析♥
would you have thought that she was
她是否会杀人呢
capable physically or emotionally or?
这该死的问题太不合理了
That’s a bloody irregular question.
我知道 但还是要问
I know, but I ask it.
德本汉小姐不是普通妇女
Miss Debenham is not a woman.
-她是位淑女 -难道淑女就
-She’s a lady. -Which precludes her
不会杀人了
from being a murderess?
该死 那男的她根本不认识
Damn it, the man was a perfect stranger.
-从来没见过 -您对她的事儿挺热心的

我不明白您在暗示什么
I don’t know what you’re driving at.
那我们谈点实际问题吧
Then let us be practical and drive at facts.
您认识阿姆斯特朗上校吗
Did you know Colonel Armstrong?
只是知道 但没说过话
Not to speak to.
我们的部队不在一块儿

我属于印度驻军 而他属于在印度服役的皇家卫队
I’m Indian army. He was British army, serving in India.
皇家步兵第一团
Royal Scots.
-您怎么知道的 -案发后
-How did you know? -It was in the papers
他举枪自杀 报纸上都登了
when he shot himself after the kidnapping.
真是不堪一击
Rotten show.
但他从前可坚强得多
Thought he’d been tougher than that.
毕竟他因在法国的战功荣获过DSO勋章与MC勋章
After all, he got a D.S.O. And an M.C. In France.
“杰出服务勋章”
Distinguished Service Order.
“军功十字勋章”

我的上校[法语]
Mon colonel,
雷切特一共欠了五条人命
Ratchett was responsible for five deaths:
含冤自尽的女仆

阿姆斯特朗家的小女孩
The murder of the Armstrong child.
分娩时死去的阿姆斯特朗太太

没能幸免的胎儿
while giving premature birth to a stillborn baby.
眼睁睁看着曾经亲爱的人相继丧生
And the ultimate suicide of Colonel Armstrong,
阿姆斯特朗上校也举枪结束了性命
in the face of multiple and intolerable bereavements!
要是再授予他VC
I would have understood his action
算上先前的DSO和MC 我就能够理解他的行为了
if, in addition to the D.S.O. And M.C., he had been awarded the V.C.
您知道的 就是授予勇士的
Which stands, as you may know, for Victoria Cross
“维多利亚十字勋章”
and is awarded for valor.
依我看
Then, in my opinion,
雷切特完全是罪有应得
Ratchett deserved what he got.
尽管我更想看到他尽早受到法庭的正式审判
Though I’d sooner have seen him properly tried by jury.
由十二个好人组成的陪审团确实是健全的制度
Trial by 12 good men and true is a sound system.
我们认为凶杀发生在凌晨1点15分
We believe the murder was committed at 1:15.
您那时在干什么
What were you doing then?
我和那个年轻人正聊天呢 他叫什么来着
I was yarning with young… What’s his name?
麦奎恩 在他的包厢里
McQueen, in his compartment.
他对印度的未来颇感兴趣 但想法有点儿不切实际
He was interested in the future of India, a bit impractical.
他认为英国人应该撤军
He thought the British ought to move out.
你们总共聊了多长时间
How long did you stay yarning after that?
聊到1点30分 我
Till 1:30. It’s…
我管这叫”聊了三斗烟的工夫”
It’s what I call a three-pipe yarn.
阿布斯♥诺♥上校 在这节开往加来的车厢上
Colonel Arbuthnott, you are the only passenger in the Calais coach
唯有您一人抽”烟朵”
who smokes a “pipe”.
-好像是这么回事儿 -那这个
-So it would appear. -Then this…
想必是您的”烟朵”通条
…must be your “pipe” cleaner.
-牌子一样 -这是在死者床头的
-It’s the same brand. -It was found in an ashtray
烟灰缸里发现的
by the dead man’s bedside.
那就是有人存心放的 这根”烟朵”通条是用过的
Then someone planted it there. It’s a used “pipe” cleaner.
难道我会蠢到
Or are you suggesting that I’m fool enough
进去他包厢杀了他
to have entered Ratchett’s cabin, murdered him,
通了通”烟朵”出来前再把通条留在烟灰缸里
cleaned my “pipe” and dropped it in the ashtray before leaving?
不 阿布斯♥诺♥上校
No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
德本汉小姐
Miss Debenham.
-我能留下吗 -不能 阿布斯♥诺♥上校
-Can I stay? -No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
请坐
Please be seated.
请原谅 德本汉小姐 我必须扼要地问
Forgive me, Miss Debenham, I must be brief.
您与阿布斯♥诺♥上校在巴格达相遇并坠入爱河
You met Colonel Arbuthnott and fell in love with each other in Baghdad.
为什么英国人对正当的感情也总是讳莫如深呢
Why must the English conceal even their most impeccable emotions?
您仔细观察的结论
To answer your observations in order,
千真万确 是这样
of course, yes, yes,
我也不知道为什么
and I don’t know.
那我们就谈谈您知道的 在博斯普鲁斯海峡渡船上
Then let me tell you what you do know, that on the Bosporus Ferryboat
我无意中听到您与上校的一段谈话
I overheard a part of your conversation with the colonel.
“别在这会儿 别在这会儿
“Not now, not now. When it’s all over.
等一切都结束 等一切都已过去”
When it’s behind us, then.”
等什么都结束 德本汉小姐
When what was all over, Miss Debenham?
等什么都已过去
And when what was behind you?
是将要执行的任务
Was it some task that had to be performed?
是必须忍♥受的考验
Some ordeal that had to be endured?
还是有待完成的黑暗使命
Some dark deed that had to be dispatched?
波洛先生 这些问题我无法轻易回答
Mr. Poirot, I’m not at liberty to answer any of those questions.
在这儿不回答也许行得通
Not here on this train, perhaps.
但当南斯拉夫警方在布罗德接手这个悬而未决的谋杀案时
But when the Yugoslav police take over an unsolved murder case at Brod,
您若是不回答就行不通了
you will not remain at liberty unless you answer the questions.
我可以打长途电♥话♥给我的律师
I can always call my lawyers long-distance.
这是我和上校的私人问题
This is a private matter between the colonel and myself.
德本汉小姐 在谋杀案中 没有”私人问题”
Miss Debenham, in a murder case, no matter is private
况且 回避只会招致怀疑
and evasion breeds suspicion,
