“现在，” 他用恶狠狠的声音说，“也许你该告诉我，为什么那个人被刺伤后，会来到这里喊你的名字，不然我就得把你作为重要证人关进监狱。”
“Now,” he said in an ugly voice, “maybe you’ll tell me why that guy came in here and hollered for you after he’d been stabbed, or do I have to throw you in the can as a material witness?”
马龙眨了一下眼睛，用一连串丰富多彩的骂人话骂了冯?弗拉纳根，从字母表的开头一直到结尾。他还详细描述了警察的家族树，包括两个未婚的姑奶奶的可疑行为。
Malone blinked once, and called von Flanagan a colorful collection of names that ran all the way down the alphabet. He dwelt on the subject of the police officer’s family tree, including the questionable behavior of two unmarried great-aunts.
一个站在吧台边的完全陌生的人转向律师，愤怒地说：“他是我的朋友。你不能那样对他说话，你这个喝醉的流浪汉。”
Some perfect stranger standing at the bar turned to the lawyer and said angrily, “He’s m’friend. Y’can’t say that t’him, y’drunken bum.”
“流浪汉！” 马龙疯狂地咆哮着。他的脸涨得紫红。“我要让你见识见识什么叫喝醉的流浪汉！” 他的左拳偏离那个陌生人足足两英寸，但当他挥拳的时候，他的的脚绊到了冯?弗拉纳根的脚踝，把那个大块头掀翻在地。与此同时，陌生人的右拳打在了马龙的鼻子上。
“Bum!” Malone roared wildly. His face was purple. “I’ll show you from drunken bums!” His left missed the stranger by a good two inches, but as he swung, his foot caught von Flanagan’s ankle and toppled the big man to the floor. At the same instant the stranger’s right landed on Malone’s nose.
律师发出一声痛苦的嚎叫，用头撞向陌生人的肚子，抓起一把椅子，朝已经站起来的冯?弗拉纳根砸去。酒吧里的另一个人觉得这样不公平，于是加入了马龙这一边的战斗。冯?弗拉纳根恶狠狠地朝马龙扔出一个啤酒瓶，没砸中他，却把那个引发这场斗殴的陌生人砸昏了。这时，马龙和他的盟友已经忘记了他们在和谁打架，在地上扭打起来。乔天使报了警。
The lawyer let out an anguished howl, butted the stranger in the stomach, grabbed a chair, and aimed it at von Flanagan, who had got to his feet. Someone else at the bar decided the odds were unfair and joined the fray on Malone’s side. Von Flanagan slung a beer bottle at Malone with deadly intent, missed him, and knocked out the stranger who had precipitated the brawl. By that time Malone and his ally had forgotten who was fighting whom, and were scuffling on the floor. Joe the Angel called the police.
