「是一辆蓝色轿车,一辆双门跑车。」

"It's a blue car, a coupé."

「我们是从纽约直接过来的,」我说道。

"We've come straight from New York," I said.

一位稍稍落在我们后面开车的人证实了这一点,警察便转身离开了。

Someone who had been driving a little behind us confirmed this, and the policeman turned away.

「好,如果你能再把那个名字正确地告诉我一遍——」

"Now, if you'll let me have that name again correct—"

汤姆像抱起一个布娃娃一样架起威尔逊,把他带进办公室,按在椅子上坐下,然后走了回来。

Picking up Wilson like a doll, Tom carried him into the office, set him down in a chair, and came back.

「如果有人愿意过来陪他坐着,」他用不容置疑的语气厉声说道。

"If somebody'll come here and sit with him," he snapped authoritatively.

他注视着站在最近的两个人互相对视一眼,不情愿地走进房间。

He watched while the two men standing closest glanced at each other and went unwillingly into the room.

然后汤姆把门关上,走下那一级台阶,眼神刻意回避着桌子。

Then Tom shut the door on them and came down the single step, his eyes avoiding the table.

他从我身边经过时,低声耳语道:「我们走吧。」

As he passed close to me he whispered: "Let's get out."

我们带着几分不自然,在他那双霸道的手臂开路下,挤过那仍在聚集的人群,经过一位行色匆匆、手提诊箱的医生——他是半小时前人们在绝望中派人去请来的。

Self-consciously, with his authoritative arms breaking the way, we pushed through the still gathering crowd, passing a hurried doctor, case in hand, who had been sent for in wild hope half an hour ago.

汤姆慢慢地开着车,直到我们驶过弯道——然后他的脚猛地踩了下去,双门跑车在夜色中疾驰而去。

Tom drove slowly until we were beyond the bend—then his foot came down hard, and the coupé raced along through the night.

过了一会儿,我听到一声低沉哽咽的抽泣,看见泪水正顺着他的脸颊滚落下来。

In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face.

「这个该死的懦夫!」他哽咽着说,「他连车都没有停下来。」

"The God damned coward!" he whimpered. "He didn't even stop his car."

布坎南家的房子突然从黑暗中沙沙作响的树丛间向我们漂浮而来。

The Buchanans' house floated suddenly toward us through the dark rustling trees.

汤姆停在门廊旁边,抬头望向二楼,那里有两扇窗户在藤蔓间透出明亮的灯光。

Tom stopped beside the porch and looked up at the second floor, where two windows bloomed with light among the vines.

「黛西回家了,」他说道。

"Daisy's home," he said.
