The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 30
作案用的那根棍子，虽然是用某种罕见且非常坚韧沉重的木头制成的，却在这种丧心病狂的残暴行为下从中间断裂了；一半断裂的棍子滚到了附近的排水沟里——另一半毫无疑问被凶手带走了。
The stick with which the deed had been done, although it was of some rare and very tough and heavy wood, had broken in the middle under the stress of this insensate cruelty; and one splintered half had rolled in the neighbouring gutter—the other, without doubt, had been carried away by the murderer.
在受害者身上发现了一个钱包和一只金表：但没有名片或文件，只有一个封好并贴好邮票的信封，他可能正准备把它送到邮局去，信封上写着厄特森先生的姓名和地址。
A purse and gold watch were found upon the victim: but no cards or papers, except a sealed and stamped envelope, which he had been probably carrying to the post, and which bore the name and address of Mr. Utterson.
第二天早上，在他还没起床前，这封信就被送到了这位律师手中；他一看到信并听说了事情经过，就严肃地撅起了嘴唇。
This was brought to the lawyer the next morning, before he was out of bed; and he had no sooner seen it and been told the circumstances, than he shot out a solemn lip.
他带着同样严肃的表情匆匆吃完早餐，然后驱车前往警察局，尸体已被送到那里。
And with the same grave countenance he hurried through his breakfast and drove to the police station, whither the body had been carried.
他一走进牢房，就点了点头。
As soon as he came into the cell, he nodded.
