Chapter 6 A tea party
第六章 茶会
Nick looked through the doors of the tea room in the Empress Hotel.
尼克从皇后酒店茶座的门口往里看去。
Meg Hutson sat at a table with a man. The man was about thirty, or maybe a year or two younger. He was tall, and brown from the sun. He wore a white shirt, white trousers, and white shoes. He said something to Meg, and she laughed. She looked very happy.
梅格·赫特森和一个男人坐在桌子旁。那个男人有30来岁，或者还要年轻一两岁。个子很高，脸被太阳晒成了棕色。他穿着白衬衣，白裤子和一双白鞋子。他对梅格说了些什么，她笑了。她看起来非常高兴。
A waiter came up to Nick. 'Can I get you some tea?' he asked.
一位服务员走到尼克跟前。“来些茶吗？”他问道。
'No, thanks,' said Nick. 'I'm with the two people over there.' And he walked across to Meg's table.
“不了，谢谢，”尼克说，“我是跟那边那两个人一起的。”接着他便朝梅格的桌子走去。
'Hello, Mystery Girl,' said Nick. 'Remember me? We met at Whistler. Your name was Jan then. But maybe today it's Meg Hutson.'
“你好，神秘女孩儿，”尼克向她打招呼，“还记得我吗？我们在惠斯勒见过。你那时候叫简，可今天也许叫梅格·赫特森吧。”
Meg Hutson looked up at him. 'Oh,' she said, and her face went red.
梅格·赫特森抬头看着他。“哦。”她开口道，脸色变红了。
'Who is this, Meg?' asked the man.
“这位是谁，梅格？”那个男的问道。
'This is Nick,' said Meg. 'He's a writer. Nick, this is Craig Winters.'
“这是尼克，”梅格说道，“是位作家。尼克，这是克雷格·温特斯。”
'Sometimes called Mr Hollywood?' said Nick.
“有时也叫好莱坞先生，是不是？”尼克说。
'Maybe. But how did you know that?' asked Craig Winters.
“也许是。可你是怎么知道的？”克雷格·温特斯问道。
'I guessed,' said Nick. 'And I think I'm beginning to understand. Can I ask you a question, Mr Winters? Does somebody want to kill you?'
“我猜的，”尼克答道，“我想我开始明白了。能问你一个问题吗，温特斯先生？是不是有人要杀你？”
Craig Winters' face went white. 'Kill me?'
克雷格·温特斯的脸色变得惨白。“有人要杀我？”
'What are you talking about?' asked Meg.
“你在说什么呀？”梅格问道。
