警察队长指着人群说：「那个红头发的家伙。」
"That fellow with the red hair," said the police captain as he pointed.
「我来盯着他，」警长回答道。
"I'll watch him," the sergeant answered.
队长前一天突击搜查了两个鸦片窟，成就感让他挺起了胸膛。
The captain had raided two opium dens the day before, and the pride of accomplishment puffed his chest.
那天晚上，他恨不得去给瓦胡岛的县治安官指点一番。
He would have given advice to the sheriff of Oahu that evening.
他接着说：「我能从人群中认出某些人，有的靠他们走路的方式，有的靠他们的眼神。那个家伙，他浑身上下都写着问题。」
He went on: "I can pick some men out of the crowd by the way they walk, and others by their eyes. That fellow has it written all over him."
那个红头发的男人穿过人群，越走越近。
The red-headed man came nearer through the crowd.
因为天气暖和，他把软帽塞进了后裤袋，此刻一扇窗户透出的灯光稳稳地照在他的头发上，把那头发映得如火一般，宛如一个危险信号。
Because of the warmth, he had stuffed his soft hat into a back pocket, and now the light from a window shone steadily on his hair and made a fire of it, a danger signal.
他与两名警察搜寻的目光相遇，以冷静而审视的眼神回应，那眼神犹如一个拳击手等待出拳前的凝视。
He encountered the searching glances of the two officers and answered with cold, measuring eyes, like the gaze of a prize fighter who waits for a blow.
警长转向上司，咕哝着点了点头。
The sergeant turned to his superior with a grunt.
「你说得对，」他点头道。
"You're right," he nodded.
「跟踪他，」队长说，「带个人一起去。如果那家伙惹了麻烦，你可能需要帮手。」
"Trail him," said the captain, "and take a man with you. If that fellow gets into trouble, you may need help."
他走进自己的汽车，警长向附近一名警察招了招手。
He stepped into his automobile and the sergeant beckoned to a nearby policeman.
「阿卡纳，」他说，「我们今晚有个重要任务。你状态好吗？」
"Akana," he said, "we have a man-sized job tonight. Are you feeling fit?"
那个卡纳卡人笑了笑，却没什么热情。
The Kanaka smiled without enthusiasm.
「红头发那个人？」
"The man of the red hair?"
警长点了点头，阿卡纳收紧了腰带。那天晚上他吃了用蒂叶烤的鱼。
The sergeant nodded, and Akana tightened his belt. He had eaten fish baked in ti leaves that evening.
他提议道：「莫利没什么事做。」
He suggested: "Morley has little to do.
