好吧,据那位医生说,孩子并没有受多大伤害,只是受了惊吓;你可能会以为事情就此结束了。

Well, the child was not much the worse, more frightened, according to the sawbones; and there you might have supposed would be an end to it.

但有一个奇怪的情况。

But there was one curious circumstance.

我对这位先生第一眼就产生了厌恶感。

I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight.

孩子的家人也是如此,这是很自然的。

So had the child's family, which was only natural.

但医生的情况让我印象深刻。

But the doctor's case was what struck me.

他是那种典型的刻板药剂师,年龄和肤色都不特别,带着浓重的爱丁堡口音,情感表达能力就像风笛一样。

He was the usual cut and dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong Edinburgh accent and about as emotional as a bagpipe.

好吧,先生,他和我们其他人一样;每次他看着我的囚犯,我都看到那位医生因想要杀死他的欲望而变得恶心和苍白。

Well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my prisoner, I saw that sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him.

我知道他心里想什么,就像他知道我心里想什么一样;既然杀人不可能,我们就做了次好的选择。

I knew what was in his mind, just as he knew what was in mine; and killing being out of the question, we did the next best.

我们告诉那个人,我们可以也会把这件事闹得满城风雨,让他的名声从伦敦的一端臭到另一端。

We told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this as should make his name stink from one end of London to the other.

如果他有任何朋友或任何信誉,我们保证让他失去这些。

If he had any friends or any credit, we undertook that he should lose them.

而且在我们火力全开地进攻时,我们还尽力把那些女人挡在他外面,因为她们像鹰身女妖一样狂野。

And all the time, as we were pitching it in red hot, we were keeping the women off him as best we could for they were as wild as harpies.
