Jake scowled. “His murder doesn’t fulfill the terms of Mona’s bet. But there must be some connection. He was murdered in her house. His dying act was to try to telephone you. Evidently he knew about the bet.” Jake drew a long breath and said, “I want to talk to Mona. I think I’ll go over there right now.”
马龙不由自主地叫道：“哦，不，你不能那么做。” 然后突然停了下来。
Involuntarily Malone exclaimed, “Oh no, you can 不能那么做，然后突然停了下来。
“为什么我不能去见莫娜?麦克莱恩？”
“Why can’t I go to see Mona McClane?”
“她受到了惊吓。” 马龙赶紧说。
“She’s suffering from shock,” Malone said quickly.
“你净说瞎话。那个女人就算经历一场大爆炸也不会受到惊吓。”
“You’re full of little bananas. That woman wouldn’t suffer from shock after a mass dynamiting.”
“她家里刚发生了一起凶杀案。这肯定会让人有点心烦意乱。”
“She’s just had a murder in her house. That’s bound to be a little upsetting.”
“好吧，就算她心烦意乱。你自己也常说，人们心烦意乱的时候和他们交谈能了解到更多信息。”
“All right, so she’s upset. You always said yourself you could get more out of people by talking with them when they were upset.”
“很晚了，我也累了。”
“It’s late and I’m tired.”
“现在才九点，如果您那么累，我自己去。”
“It’s nine o’clock, and if you’re that tired, I’ll go alone.”
“不，不，不，” 马龙说。“如果你坚持要去，我和你一起去。” 他快速地思考着。这场游戏在这么早的时候就让杰克在莫娜?麦克莱恩家碰到海伦，可能会危及他们将来和解的机会。而且如果杰克发现海伦在这个城市而他却被蒙在鼓里，那麻烦可就大了，而马龙就是将为此付出代价的那个人。
“No, no, no,” Malone said. “If you insist on going, I’ll go with you.” He was thinking fast. For Jake to run into Helene at Mona McClane’s so early in the game might imperil the chances of a future reconciliation. And if Jake discovered that Helene’s presence in the city had been kept from him, there would be hell to pay, with Malone on the paying end.
他在乘电梯下楼的整个过程中，一直在快速思考。他没有办法把海伦从麦克莱恩家弄走。即使他能在路上设法打个电话，他也很难向莫娜?麦克莱恩解释这种情况。
He went on thinking fast all the way down in the elevator. There was no way he could get Helene out of the McClane house. He could hardly explain the situation to Mona McClane, even if he could manage a private telephone call on the way.
