Harrigan — Page 9
黑发男人用他猛刺的拳头作为尖锋,他们形成了一个飞楔——像一把热刀切入黄油一样,他们冲入士兵群中,将人群劈开。
They became a flying wedge with the jabbing fists of the black-haired man for a point--and they sank into the mass of soldiers like a hot knife into butter, shearing them apart.
没有多少人还想继续抵抗,因为警察预备队正在一个接一个地逮捕人。
There were few who wished more action, for the police reserves were capturing man after man.
一两个人奋力反抗,但一声朝天鸣枪立刻打消了他们的念头。
One or two resisted, but a revolver fired straight in the air put a sudden period to such thoughts.
人群四散奔逃,哈里根也跟着众人拔腿就跑,这时一只铁手抓住了他的肩膀,猛地将他拉停。
The crowd scattered in all directions and Harrigan was taking to his heels among the rest when an iron hand caught his shoulder and jerked him to a halt.
抓住他的正是那个黑发男人。
It was the black-haired man.
「沉住气,」他低声提醒道。他从口袋里掏出一顶帽子,戴到头上。
"Easy," he cautioned. He pulled a cap out and settled it upon his head.
哈里根也照着做,把他那顶软帽戴上了。
Harrigan followed suit with his soft hat.
「你是要把自己暴露给警察吗?」他困惑地问道。
"Are you after givin' yourself away to the law?" he queried, bewildered.
「别慌,你这蠢货,」另一人说道,「他们只追那些逃跑的人。」
"Steady, you fool," said the other; "they're only after the ones who run away."
一个激动的卡纳卡人挥舞着棍棒,拦在他们面前。
An excited Kanaka confronted them with brandished club.
「这里发生了什么骚乱,警官?」那个大块头问道。
"What's the cause of the disturbance, officer?" asked the big man.
那名警察没有回答,只是挥手示意他们离开,随即追着一名奔跑的士兵冲了过去。
The policeman for answer waved them away and darted after a running soldier.
「我真是服了!」哈里根低声说道,目光落在同伴脸上,眼神中几乎带着一丝温情。
"I'll be damned!" murmured Harrigan, and his eyes dwelt on his companion's face almost tenderly.
他们正走到人群边缘,这时一个尖锐的声音喊道:「那两个大个子!拦住他们!站住!」
They were at the edge of the crowd when a shrill voice called: "Those two big men! Halt 'em! Stand!"
阿卡纳警官手持制式柯尔特手枪高举过头,穿过人群冲了过来。
Officer Akana ran through the crowd with his regulation Colt brandished above his head.
「时机到了!」哈里根的新朋友说道,随即拔腿飞奔。
"The time's come!" said Harrigan's new friend, and broke into a run.
