Harrigan — Page 4
作为回答，他从身旁一个高个子男人的纽扣孔里扯出一朵深红色的康乃馨。
For answer he dragged a crimson carnation from the buttonhole of a tall man who stood at his side.
"你他妈的——"那个受害者开口说，但哈里根微笑了，对方便慢慢地退回到人群中去了。
"What in hell--" began the victim, but Harrigan smiled and the other drew slowly back through the crowd.
"现在让他们走开。"
"Now send them away."
她又多看了他一眼，眼神中慢慢浮现出一丝光彩。
She looked at him an instant longer with a light coming slowly up behind her eyes.
然后她探出身子，向那一圈咯咯笑着的人挥了挥手。
Then she leaned out and waved to the chuckling semicircle.
"去玩一会儿，"她说，"我想跟我哥哥说说话。"
"Run away for a while," she said; "I want to talk to my brother."
她拍了拍那头浓密的红发，以示两人的亲属关系，那一小群人便哄笑着散去了。
She patted the thick red hair to emphasize the relationship, and the little crowd departed, laughing uproariously.
哈里根把那朵康乃馨插进她乌黑的发丝中，他的手在那柔软浓密的发间停留了片刻，她便将他的手拉了下来，神情突然变得严肃起来。
Harrigan slipped the carnation into the jetty hair. His hand lingered a moment against the soft masses, and she drew it down, grown suddenly serious.
"那边那座小屋的阴影里有三个警察，他们在监视你。"
"There are three policemen in the shadow of that cottage over there. They're watching you."
"啊——！"
"Ah-h!"
这声音轻得几乎像一声叹息，但她却明显地打了个颤。
The sound was so soft that it was almost a sigh, but she shivered perceptibly.
"你都做了什么？"
"What have you been doing?"
他遗憾地回答道："什么都没做。"
He answered regretfully: "Nothing."
"他们朝这边来了。那个有康乃馨的男人也跟着他们。你最好赶紧跑。"
"They're coming this way. The man who had the carnation is with them. You better beat it."
"不。我喜欢这里。"
"Nope. I like it here."
她摇了摇头，但此刻她眼中的火焰已烧得很旺了。
She shook her head, but the flame was blowing high now in her eyes.
一只手落在了哈里根的肩膀上。
A hand fell on Harrigan's shoulder.
"嘿！"警察中士大声说道。
"Hey!" said the sergeant in a loud voice.
哈里根慢慢地转过身，中士的手便垂了下去。那个有康乃馨的男人早已退到了远处的人群后面。
Harrigan turned slowly and the sergeant's hand fell away. The man of the carnation was far in the background.
"怎么了？"
"Well?"
"那朵花。"
"That flower."
