[00:15.83]Said the Bespectacled inspector
[00:17.82]戴眼镜的警官
[00:19.80]as he sipped from his hot Beverage at the crime scene.

[00:24.66]"That's why I hate big dogs."
[00:26.79]这也是我讨厌大狗的原因
[00:28.92]I don't think they have any bias towards people who want them
[00:31.60]我认为，对于那些想与它们
[00:34.27]to be their best friend.
[00:35.89]成为好朋友的人,它们是没有偏见的，
[00:37.51]They just do their bidding and live off their care
[00:39.99]它们惟命是听、靠主人的照顾过日子，
[00:42.48]while they are waiting for the right moment to betray them."
[00:45.01]同时却又等待时机背叛他们。"
[00:47.54]"Well,whether you think the dog knew what he was going to do beforehand or not"
[00:51.17]嗯，不管你是否认为这只狗事先就知道它要做什么，
[00:54.80]it was an ugly attack.
[00:56.48]这次袭击太可怕啦。
[00:58.15]Look at the trail of beads that lead down to the beach." Noted a policeman.
[01:01.13]瞧这一路撒到海滩的珠子。"一名警察说道。
[01:04.10]"Hmmm.Yes,that is strange."
[01:06.53]"是啊，真是奇怪。"
[01:08.96]Said the inspector as he bent down to inspect the wounds on the man
[01:11.84]边说边俯身去检查那个男人身上的伤口，
[01:14.71]and then scratched at his Beard.
[01:16.43]然后扯了扯他的胡须，
[01:18.16]"But I don't think the husband was wearing beads."
[01:20.68]"可我认为，这个丈夫没有戴珠子。"
[01:23.20]He walked back into the house
[01:24.96]他走回屋内，
[01:26.73]past the bellows hard at work keeping the furnace running,
[01:29.46]经过使炉火熊熊燃烧的风箱时，
[01:32.19]beset with sudden doubt.
[01:33.96]他忽然陷入了疑惑。
[01:35.74]"That was a Beneficial insight." He said to the policeman.
[01:38.26]"你的见解非常有用。"他对警察说，
[01:40.78]"I'll be sure to refer to you in the bibliography of my report."

[01:54.66]"什么?"妇人充满疑惑地问道。
[01:56.74]"Yes, ma'am.You murdered your husband,"
[01:58.92]是的，太太。你杀了你丈夫，
[02:01.10]dragged him out of the house and then made the dog bite and chew him after the fact.
[02:04.49]然后把他的尸体拖到屋外让狗啃咬、嚼碎。
[02:07.87]I know this because of the trail of beads leading to your dead husband
[02:10.95]从这两点我知道是你杀了他。"找到你丈夫尸体的路上留下了许多珠子，
[02:14.03]and the lack of deep life-threatening dog bites on his body."
[02:16.92]而他身上却没有狗咬的深深的、致命的伤痕。"

[02:38.33]Butch had been blundering with the blueprints of the factory
[02:40.85]布奇正拿着工厂的蓝图，
[02:43.37]looking for an exit
[02:44.95]四处瞎闯寻找出口，
[02:46.53]when an explosion in the bleaching room blasted him out of the main hall,
[02:49.51]这时漂白室的爆炸把他炸出大厅，
[02:52.49]through a window and into a patch of rose blossoms.
[02:54.97]从一扇窗户落到了一片玫瑰花中。
[02:57.45]As he lay there bleeding only slightly
[02:59.58]他躺在那儿，只流了少量的血，
[03:01.71]he realized that he had been blessed by the blast;
[03:03.89]他意识到他其实是托了这次爆炸的福。
[03:06.07]in the blink of an eye he had been thrown from the scene of the crime
[03:08.59]可眨眼之间自己就被扔出了作案现场。
[03:11.11]that he had committed.
[03:12.63]他刚作了案，
[03:14.14]He was also unburned
[03:16.06]他连烧伤都没有
[03:17.98]by the hot biodegradable bleach that had covered his body.
[03:20.80]由于身上裹了一层热的能进行生物降解的漂白粉，
[03:23.62]Bless you St.Peter, he thought.
[03:25.45]祝福你圣彼得，他在心里说道。
[03:27.28]He quickly moved to blend into the vegetation even more.
[03:29.76]他迅速移动身子以便和植物更好地融为一体。
[03:32.24]Policemen had arrived
[03:33.83]警察已经赶到现场，
[03:35.41]and the vegetation blocked them from seeing Butch.
[03:37.63]由于植物的遮挡，他们没有看见布奇。
[03:39.85]Thank God the roses were in bloom.
[03:41.73]感谢上帝，这些玫瑰正在盛开。
[03:43.61]Without the blooming flowers he would surely have been seen.

[03:48.75]They didn't even hesitate
[03:50.43]他们甚至都没有犹豫一下
[03:52.10]as they looked in his direction with blank expressions.
[03:54.53]警察面无表情地朝他这个方向看的时候。
[03:56.96]Butch stared,still amazed at his luck.
[03:59.14]布奇瞪着眼睛，还在为自己的幸运发呆。
[04:01.32]He was no longer bitter at his employers.
[04:03.30]他不再怨恨他的雇主了。
[04:05.29]There would be no way they could blame him for the explosion,
[04:07.61]他们无法把爆炸的责任推到他身上，
[04:09.94]it wasn't his fault.
[04:11.47]这又不是他的错。
[04:13.00]And the fire it had started was sure to destroy
[04:15.18]爆炸引起的火灾肯定会毁灭
[04:17.36]all the evidence of his stealing valuable stockfrom the accountants' office.
[04:20.28]他从会计室窃取有价证券的所有证据.
[04:23.21]It had not been a bilateral decision with his wife to steal those documents,
[04:25.94]并不是布奇与妻子双方共同的决定去偷这些文件
[04:28.67]but Butch realized that what was once a bleak future was now,
[04:31.65]但是布奇知道，原本渺茫的前途对布奇来说
[04:34.63]because of a bizarre accident,like a bill of freedom for Butch.
[04:37.50]就像一张自由证明,由于一场稀奇古怪的事故，
[04:40.37]He would be able to walk away rich, innocent of any suspicion
[04:43.15]他离开时不仅发了大财，而且不受任何怀疑，
[04:45.94]and no longer bound to work with an employer
[04:48.01]甚至不用再为老板卖命了。
[04:50.09]that had almost ruined his life and marriage.
[04:52.22]那个差点儿毁了他的生活和婚姻的.
[04:54.35]Maybe he wouldn't even tell his wife that he had succeeded
[04:56.83]或许他甚至都不准备告诉妻子他已经成功......

[05:02.89]被献计献策惹怒了
[05:06.47]"You're wrecking my botany experiment!"
[05:08.49]你在破坏我的植物学实验!
[05:10.52]Don't breach the large tank with the soil samples in it!"
[05:13.10]千万别打破那个大罐子，那里边装着泥土样品!"
[05:15.69]Shawn yelled as he bobbed his head back down behind the booth
[05:18.47]肖恩一边怒吼，一边把头很快移到货摊背后，
[05:21.25]in order to avoid another blunt object
[05:23.44]以便避开另外一个黑团一样的硬物
[05:25.62]that was flying across the room like a blur.
[05:27.69]从房间那边横飞过来的.
[05:29.77]"I don't care about your stupid plant and soil experiments Said Michelle."
[05:33.05]我才不管你那些愚蠢的植物和泥土实验呢!"米歇尔说，
[05:36.33]"There is no longer any bond between us."
[05:38.55]我俩之间不再有任何联系了!
[05:40.77]I am sick of all of your Boasting about boring
[05:43.25]你整天吹牛，我算是受够了
[05:45.73]into a mountain in Montana to find your bonanza!"
[05:48.26]说是要在蒙大拿的一座山上钻个洞寻找财源，我算是受够了。"
[05:50.80]"But it's really there!"
[05:52.42]可那儿确实有财源!
[05:54.04]And I can't cancel our flight booking anymore.We have to go!" Shawn yelled back.
[05:57.51]而且我们预定的航班也不能取消了，咱们必须去。"肖恩回敬道。
[06:00.99]Michelle's only response
[06:02.71]米歇尔的惟一反应
[06:04.43]was to bombard him even more with whatever item she could find.
[06:07.46]就是用手边能找到的东西更狠地攻击他。
[06:10.49]She had left the boundary of polite conversation hours ago
[06:13.28]几个小时前，她就已经离开札貌谈话的边界了，
[06:16.06]and was now bound to make Shawn
[06:18.10]现在她一定要肖恩
[06:20.13]pay for all of the hours of pointless Brainstorming sessions
[06:22.81]为几个小时的毫无意义的献策付出代价，
[06:25.49]he had forced her into for this stupid idea.
[06:27.81]为了这个愚蠢的想法，他硬逼着她想办法。
[06:30.14]"You can't boycott your future, Michelle." Shawn boomed.
[06:33.16]"米歇尔，你不能抵制你的未来。"肖恩低声说，
[06:36.17]"There is endless Bounty there for both of us."
[06:38.39]那儿会给我们俩无尽的礼物。
[06:40.61]I know it's a bold adventure,but if we succeed,
[06:43.13]我知道这是一次大胆的冒险，可一旦咱们成功，
[06:45.66]then you can buy all of the brand name clothing you want when we get hack!"
[06:48.74]回来时你就可以买所有你一直想买的名牌衣服了!"
[06:51.82]"I don't believe you!" Michelle yelled back.
[06:54.05]"我才不相信你呢!"米歇尔喊道。
[06:56.29]And then she stopped throwing things and started to cry.
[06:58.72]然后她就不再扔东西，而是哭了起来。
[07:01.15]Shawn crawled out across the border of his safe zone
[07:03.63]肖恩爬出来越过安全区域的边界，
[07:06.11]and Boosted himself up to look Michelle in the face.
[07:08.54]抬起头来正视米歇尔的脸。
[07:10.97]That was when a huge plate crashed on his head and knocked him out.
[07:13.70]就在这时，一个大盘子击中了他的脑袋，把他给砸昏了。
[07:16.43]"That was a bonus!" Said Michelle
[07:18.61]"这是给你的奖赏!"米歇尔说，
[07:20.79]as she looked at him on the ground and got up to leave.
[07:23.17]他看了看躺在地上的肖恩，然后起身离开了。
[07:25.54]breakthrough-bulky Even for a bee...
[07:30.08]即使是对一只蜜蜂……
[07:34.61]The brood of bees approached the new field of budding flowers with care.
[07:37.59]那窝蜜蜂小心翼翼地靠近一块从未去过的田野，那里长满了含苞待放的鲜花
[07:40.56]The breeze had changed and there was a strange smell in the air.
[07:43.05]微风已经变了，空气中散发着一种怪味
[07:45.53]Something bulky was also here.
[07:47.55]这里还有个庞然大物。
[07:49.58]Several bees quickly browsed the area
[07:51.64]几只蜜蜂迅速吃掉了那里的花粉，
[07:53.70]and noted that the ground was bulging in one portion of the field
[07:56.43]发现一块地方正在向外膨胀
[07:59.16]close to the brink of a cliff.
[08:00.85]紧靠悬崖边缘.
[08:02.53]This was also the area with the largest amount of flowers,
[08:05.21]那块地上开的花儿也最多，
[08:07.89]so the queen bee let her workers make a breakthrough
[08:10.25]所以蜂后让工蜂来一次突破，
[08:12.62]to begin briskly gathering nectar.
[08:14.64]开始很快采集花蜜。
[08:16.67]It was a brief hesitation,
[08:18.44]蜜蜂们只做了短暂的迟疑，
[08:20.22]but her breed of bees had always been very careful in choosing new lands.
[08:23.34]但是她的这个蜂种选择新地盘时一向很谨慎。
[08:26.46]Ever since her breach of her mother' s command
[08:28.59]自从蜂后违背母亲的命令，
[08:30.72]and the subsequent breakup of the bulk of their brood,
[08:33.10]随后大部分蜜蜂分裂以来，
[08:35.47]she was even more careful.
[08:37.39]她就更加小心了。
[08:39.31]Her authority in this new group was brittle and,
[08:42.14]她在这个新群体中的权威岌岌可危，
[08:44.96]like the fear of a bugbear by all of the young bees,
[08:47.39]就像所有小蜜蜂都害怕妖怪一样，
[08:49.82]all of the worker bees were watching to see if she would lead well.
[08:52.55]所有工蜂都拭目以待，看她是不是能当好这个领导。
[08:55.28]She had to budget her commands and earn their respect.
[08:57.70]她必须合理安排、指挥得当才能赢得他们的尊重。
[09:00.13]This was not her day, however.
[09:01.91]不过，今天她不太走运。
[09:03.69]Suddenly a bee came back to report
[09:05.82]突然一只蜜蜂回来报告说，
[09:07.94]that the ground was bubbling near the bulging area.
[09:10.16]凸起的那块地周围正在冒泡，
[09:12.39]And then a buck sprung out of the forest and ran across the field,
[09:15.32]接着一只雄鹿从森林里跳了出来，它跑过田野，
[09:18.26]killing several of her best workers in the process.
[09:20.74]在跑的过程中弄死了她手下几只最优秀的工蜂。
[09:23.23]As she flew over to the area with bubbles
[09:25.50]她飞过去察看那个冒泡地区，
[09:27.77]she passed over an old brochure for the brewery that was buried beneath.
[09:30.66]没有注意到地下埋着一本古老的酿酒手册。
[09:33.54]She would bear the brunt of the blame
[09:35.37]她负主要责任
[09:37.20]for the deaths of the bees for not being aware of the buck,
[09:39.53]没有意识到有雄鹿从而导致工蜂丧命的事情
[09:41.85]but at least she could make sure
[09:43.43]至少她可以弄清楚
[09:45.01]no nectar was harvested from the dangerous bubbling area.
[09:47.69]不能从那个危险的冒泡地区采集花蜜。
[09:50.37]She quickly gathered her brood and moved on.
[09:52.50]她迅速集合队伍，继续前行。
[09:54.63]Leadership was not easy, even for a bee.
[09:57.05]当领导可真不容易，即使是对一只蜜蜂。
[09:59.48]bunch-can To Catherine!
[10:01.85]游泳去吧！
[10:04.21]The bungalow at the edge of campus near the lake
[10:06.71]校园边湖附近那座小屋
[10:09.20]was not like the burrow Mrs.Catherine had lived in previously.
[10:12.23]与凯瑟琳夫人以前的住处是不一样的。
[10:15.26]Sure the bureaucracy had taken long enough to finally allow her to in,
[10:18.64]当然，官僚们用了很久才终于允许她入住，
[10:22.03]and she had had to campaign quite hard.
[10:24.21]而且她得下足了功夫。
[10:26.39]It was a quiet location far from the highway bypass,
[10:28.91]这幢房子地处幽静之处，远离公路支路，
[10:31.43]close to the cafeteria
[10:33.26]离自助厅也不远，
[10:35.09]and of better caliber than all of the other bungalows.
[10:37.52]而且质量比所有其他房子要好。
[10:39.95]She imagined that she could be happy here,
[10:42.38]她想自己会在这里住得很开心，
[10:44.81]at least for as long as she could avoid any calamity
[10:47.48]至少住到她能躲避丛林大火之类的灾难，
[10:50.16]like the hushfire that had chased her from her last home.
[10:52.84]上一回搬家就是因为一场丛林大火。
[10:55.52]She had never calculated that a move would be so exhausting
[10:58.49]她从未估计到搬家会这么累人，
[11:01.47]and she collapsed in her bed.
[11:03.25]结果她给累趴下了。
[11:05.03]As she looked out of the window
[11:06.79]她朝窗外望去，
[11:08.55]she saw a buoy in the water that she had never seen before.
[11:11.78]看到湖面上漂着一个以前从没见过的救生圈。
[11:15.00]Suddenly a bunch of young children burst past her window buzzing with excitement.
[11:18.88]突然，一群小孩冲过她的窗口，一边还兴奋地嘁嘁喳喳说着话。
[11:22.76]They stripped off their clothing
[11:24.54]他们脱下衣服
[11:26.32]and jumped in the water to swim around the buoy she had just noticed.
[11:29.10]跳进水中，围着她先前注意到的那个救生圈游起泳来。
[11:31.88]Soon her beautiful lawn resembled an abandoned campsite
[11:34.86]不一会儿，她那漂亮的草坪就像是一个
[11:37.84]with cans thrown everywhere.
[11:39.66]到处扔满饮料罐、被遗弃了的营地。
[11:41.49]She looked up at the calendar and moaned: it was Spring Break.
[11:44.42]她抬头一看日历，悲叹道：原来学生放春假了。
[11:47.34]As she looked at the buoyant children on the water,
[11:49.76]在她看着水上快乐的孩子们的时候，
[11:52.18]the crowd in her lawn burgeoned into a regular party.
[11:54.84]她家草坪上的人群已经迅速发展成了一个标准聚会。
[11:57.51]She had never taken into her calculations that other people
[12:00.34]她可从来没估计到其他人
[12:03.17]might like the peacefulness of her new bungalow at all.
[12:06.05]也有可能喜欢她这所新居的宁静。
[12:08.92]But she decided to play along,got her swimsuit on,
[12:11.65]但她还是决定和他们一起玩，她换上泳装，
[12:14.38]and went out and joined the party.
[12:16.21]走出家门，加入了聚会。
[12:18.04]Soon guests and new friends were going in and out of her home
[12:21.58]很快客人们和新朋友们就在她家进进出出了。
[12:25.12]and Mrs.Catherine was happier than ever.
[12:27.09]凯瑟琳太太还从来没有这样高兴过。
[12:29.06]A by-product of her good sportsmanship and friendliness
[12:32.50]她具有良好的运动员素质，而且为人友善，这给她带来了一个意外的结果，
[12:35.93]was that her name became the buzzword for swimming at this location.
[12:38.80]那就是她的名字在那儿成了代替"游泳"的时髦词儿。
[12:41.68]cancel-catalogue A caption to love
[12:44.50]给爱加个说明
[12:47.32]When the caravan captain captured Lucy he had no idea
[12:50.80]车队队长俘虏露西的时候他可不知道这
[12:54.27]that she would soon become the top candidate to be his wife.
[12:56.75]位姑娘很快会成为队长妻子的最佳人选。
[12:59.23]She was the casualty of a small battle over cargo
[13:01.66]他为货物的事与别人发生了一场小小的冲突露西则是当时的受害者
[13:04.09]that he had had at the last town.
[13:06.22]在上一个城镇，
[13:08.35]He had killed those who had fought with him,
[13:10.48]他把反抗的人都杀了，
[13:12.61]carving them up into little pieces
[13:14.53]把他们切成小块，
[13:16.45]to be fed to the carnivores that always followed his train.
[13:19.23]喂了那些总是跟在他们火车后面的食肉动物。
[13:22.01]Casting his eyes to the horizon he had seen them coming already.
[13:25.24]放眼向地平线望去，他看到他们已经来了。
[13:28.46]When he looked back he noticed
[13:30.24]回头一看，他发现
[13:32.02]the former grocery store cashier hiding behind a pile of canes.
[13:35.26]杂货店原来那个收银员躲在一堆藤条后面。
[13:38.49]He pulled out his canteen to offer her water.
[13:40.87]拿出水壶给她水喝，
[13:43.25]when she came out to accept he grabbed her.
[13:45.38]她出来接水壶时却被他一把抓住。
[13:47.51]She had been his captive ever since.
[13:49.39]从那以后露西就成了他的俘虏。
[13:51.27]As they rode away he watched the animals eat the meat of the dead.
[13:54.00]骑马离开时，他看到食肉动物正在吃死者身上的肉。
[13:56.73]Some,in their hunger for meat,even cannibalized some of their own.
[13:59.81]由于太想吃肉了，有些动物甚至吃掉了一些自己的同类。
[14:02.89]They were capable of anything,the captain thought,just as I am.
[14:05.77]它们可真是无所不能，队长心想，就像我一样。
[14:08.64]He catalogued this thought in his head
[14:10.61]他把这个想法记在了脑子里，
[14:12.58]like an entry in a capsule to be viewed at another time.
[14:15.07]就像是一条以后再看的要点。
[14:17.55]The caption he placed in his head under this thought was,
[14:20.28]他在脑子里给这个想法写下的说明是：
[14:23.01]'animals with unlimited capacity'.
[14:25.19]"能力无限的动物。"
[14:27.37]Then he looked at Lucy.
[14:28.95]然后他看了看露西。
[14:30.53]She was beautiful and over the last several weeks of traveling across the desert
[14:33.50]她很美，经过过去几个星期的沙漠旅行，
[14:36.46]he saw that she had a truly carefree spirit.
[14:38.69]他发现她真的是无忧无虑。
[14:40.93]This attracted him and he canceled his ownership of her to make him his wife.
