I was positively forced to interrupt Laura once more.
我不得不再次主动打断劳拉。
"You don't seem to have been determined to take a very bright view of the case," I remarked.
“对于这件事你似乎并没有决定持特别明朗的观点，”我说。
"Of course I knew nothing against Miss Robinson and I had every reason to think her a very nice girl, but it would have been rather thrilling to find out that she was a notorious thief and a well-known member of a gang of international crooks."
“当然，我对罗宾逊小姐一无所知，我完全有理由去相信她是位很好的女孩，但若发现她是个声名狼藉的小偷或者是国际骗子团伙中有名的一员，这多么令人兴奋。”
"Just like a film. I'm dreadfully afraid that it's only in films that exciting things like that happen."
“就像电影一样。我非常遗憾只有在电影中才会发生那样刺激的事情。”
"Well, we waited in breathless suspense. There was not a sound. I expected to hear a scuffle in the hall or at least a smothered shriek. I thought the silence very ominous. Then the door opened and Miss Robinson walked in. I noticed at once that the necklace was gone. I could see that she was pale and excited. She came back to the table, sat down and with a smile threw on it—''
“哦，我们屏着呼吸，带着悬念等待着。然而没有任何声音。我期待能听见大厅里的冲突声或者至少是被压制住的尖叫声。我觉得这种沉默是不祥的预兆。然后门开了，罗宾逊小姐走了进来。我立刻注意到她的项链不见了。我可以看出来她脸色苍白，情绪激动。她回到餐桌坐了下来，将笑容投向它——”
"On what?"
“投向哪儿？”
"On the table, you fool. A string of pearls."
“桌子，你个笨蛋。一串珍珠项链。”
"'There's my necklace,' she said.
“‘这是我的项链，’她说。
"Count Borselli leant forwards.
“博尔塞利爵士身子向前一倾。
"'Oh, but those are false,' he said.
“‘哦，但这珍珠是假的，’他说。
"'I told you they were,' she laughed.
“‘我说过了它们是假的，’她笑了起来。
