Harrigan — Page 2
他巡逻的地方很安静。我要叫他跟我们一起来吗？
His beat is quiet. Shall I tell him to come with us?
「不必，」警长咧嘴一笑，随即抬起头，望着那个红发男人宽阔的肩膀——他在人群中穿行，就像船头劈浪而行一般。
"No," grinned the sergeant, and then looked up and watched the broad shoulders of the red-haired man, who advanced through the crowd as the prow of a ship lunges through the waves.
「去把莫利叫来，」他突然说道。
"Go get Morley," he said abruptly.
但哈里根毫无顾虑地继续走他的路，倒不是他忘了那个警察，而是他早已习惯了站在法律的疑视之下。
But Harrigan went on his way without misgivings, not that he forgot the policeman, but he was accustomed to stand under the suspicious eye of the law.
他走南闯北的一路上，法律的目光始终跟随着他。
In all the course of his wanderings it had been upon him.
他的出现对那些穿制服的人来说，就像战鼓声之于战马一般。
His coming was to the men in uniform like the sound of the battle trumpet to the cavalry horse.
然而，这是哈里根在檀香山的第一个夜晚，有许多东西要看，许多事情要做。
This, however, was Harrigan's first night in Honolulu, and there was much to see, much to do.
他在街上漫无目的地游荡，如今正朝着伊维雷区走去。
He had rambled through the streets; now he was headed for the Ivilei district.
是本能把他引到了那里——那个微小而清晰的声音，引领着他一生从一个麻烦走向另一个麻烦。
Instinct brought him there, the still, small voice which had guided him from trouble to trouble all his life.
在一个街角，他停下脚步，望着一群从他身旁经过的卡纳卡人，他们戴着花环，拨弄着各自的尤克里里琴。
At a corner he stopped to watch a group of Kanakas who passed him, wreathed with leis and thrumming their ukuleles.
他们用那柔软的、富含元音的语言歌唱，那声音对哈里根来说，如同海浪涌上沙滩又退去的声响，无比抚慰人心，也像檀香山的空气一样慵懒惬意。
They sang in their soft, many-voweled language and the sound was to Harrigan like the rush and lapse of water on a beach, infinitely soothing and as lazy as the atmosphere of Honolulu.
在这座奇异的城市里，东方与西方在太平洋的中心相遇，一切都显得那么平和沉静。
All things are subdued in the strange city where East and West meet in the middle of the Pacific.
