他沉重地叹了口气说：“如果客户们能对他们的律师诚实一点，那会省去多少麻烦啊。好吧，事情就是这样发生的。当然，这都是推测。但是，该死，世界上的一切都是推测性的。”
He sighed heavily and said, “What a lot of bother would be saved if clients would only be honest with their lawyers. Well, that’s how it all happened. Of course, it’s speculative. But hell, everything in the world is speculative.”
杰克什么也没说。他已经听到了所有他想听的解释。他拥有赌场的梦想似乎已经淡去，但不知怎的，现在这也不那么重要了。坦率地说，他对谋杀有点厌烦了。
Jake said nothing. He’d heard all the explanations he’d wanted to hear. His dream of owning the Casino seemed to have faded, but somehow it didn’t matter much now. Frankly, he was a little bored with murder.
他在桌子下捏了捏海伦的手，在她耳边小声说：“听着，亲爱的。当人们结婚的时候……”
He squeezed Helene’s hand under the table and whispered in her ear, “Listen, sweetheart. When people are married-”
她回捏了他的手。“你为什么看起来这么沮丧？我们现在除了度蜜月什么都不用做了。”
She squeezed his hand in return. “What are you looking so gloomy about? We’ve nothing to do now but honeymoon.”
“我只是在想起来，” 他小声回答，“那些运输机上可没有一点隐私。”
“I’ve just been remembering,” he whispered back, “that there’s no damn privacy on those transport planes.”
乔治?布兰德看了看表。“在我们离开之前还有时间再喝一杯。”
George Brand looked at his watch. “Time for one more before we leave.”
马龙嘟囔着说了些该死的终于摆脱了之类的话。
Malone muttered something about damned good riddance.
莫娜?麦克莱恩身子探过桌子对着杰克微笑。“那个赌真可惜。”
Mona McClane leaned across the table and smiled at Jake. “Too bad about the bet.”
他也对她微笑。“想象一下我的惊讶，” 他说，“当我发现我在追踪错误的凶手的时候。”
He smiled back at her. “Imagine my surprise,” he said, “when I found I was tracking down the wrong murderer.”
莫娜?麦克莱恩搅拌了一下她的饮料，过了一会儿才说话。当她说话的时候，她的声音几乎是欢快的。
Mona McClane stirred her drink for a moment before she spoke. When she did, her voice was almost gay.
“想象一下我的惊讶，” 她说，“当我发现你在解决错误的谋杀案的时候！”
“Imagine my surprise,” she said, “when I found you were solving the wrong murder!”
