He motioned to Jake not to disturb him, took out his watch, examined it as carefully as if he suspected it of being an infernal machine, and then stood, holding it in his hand, looking first at it and then at the station clock. He stood perfectly still, doing this, for exactly fifteen minutes. At the end of that time he closed his watch and put it back in his pocket.
杰克完全忘记了莫娜?麦克莱恩。
Jake had pletely forgotten Mona McClane.
“听着，马龙。你确定你感觉还好吗？你不想躺一会儿吗？”
“Look here, Malone. Are you sure you feel all right? Wouldn’t you like to lie down for a little while?”
马龙觉得上天终于了解了自己的想法。
Malone decided providence had had an idea of its own.
“也许我想躺一会儿，” 他感激地、有点虚弱地说。“就几分钟。肯定是我吃了什么东西不对劲。”
“Maybe I would like to lie down,” he said gratefully and a little weakly. “Just for a few minutes. It must have been something I ate.”
他任由杰克带他上了一辆出租车。杰克告诉司机马龙下榻的酒店地址，又补充道：“开慢点。”
He allowed Jake to lead him to a taxi. Jake gave the driver the address of Malone’s hotel, and added, “Drive rather slowly.”
“开非常慢，” 马龙坐得笔直，拍了拍司机的肩膀说。“请开得非常慢、非常小心。我妻子要生孩子了。”
“Drive very slowly,” Malone said, sitting bolt upright and tapping the driver on the shoulder. “Please drive very slowly and carefully. My wife’s going to have a baby.”
他靠在座位上，闭上了眼睛。
He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes.
司机拐上密歇根大道，从后视镜里看了杰克一眼，用手指指了指自己的额头，示意询问。杰克摇了摇头，做了一个拿着瓶子对着嘴喝的手势。
The driver, turning onto Michigan Avenue, caught Jake’s eye in the rear-view mirror and tapped his forehead questioningly. Jake shook his head and made the gesture of a man holding a bottle to his lips.
“我没有，” 马龙愤慨地说，眼睛都没睁开。司机同情地向杰克点了点头，继续开车。
“I am not,” Malone said indignantly, without opening his eyes. The driver nodded sympathetically to Jake, and drove on.
在酒店房间里，马龙任由杰克帮他脱衣服，扶他上床。等被子盖到他下巴的时候，时间已经是差一刻十二点了。他松了一口气。杰克不会在这个时候去拜访莫娜?麦克莱恩了。
