医生没听到他的话。“现在我从简单的问题开始。”他对开始有点萎靡不振的年轻人说，“你在哪里？”
The doctor didn’t hear him. “Now I begin with simple questions.” He addressed the young man, who was beginning to droop a little. “Where are you?”
沉默了很长时间。
There was a long silence.
“你在哪里？”医生的声音提高了一点，再次问道。
“Where are you?” the doctor demanded, a shade louder.
罗斯·麦克劳林看着他，然后回答道：“我在这儿。你在哪里？”这让一切都陷入了混乱。
Ross McLaurin looked at him and threw everything into confusion by answering, “Here I am. Where are you?”
亨尼西医生决定换一个简单的问题。“今天星期几？”
Dr. Hennessey decided to try another simple question. “What day of the week is it?”
年轻人沉思了一会儿。“星期天？”他试探着说。
The young man was very thoughtful for a minute. “Sunday?” he suggested.
海伦抬头看了看表盘。上面显示“真实”。“哎呀，该死。”她说，“他觉得是星期天。不管怎么说，今天到底星期几，星期五？”
Helene looked up at the dial. It registered “True.” “Well, damn it,” she said, “he thinks it’s Sunday. What day is it anyway, Friday?”
“星期一。”马龙说。
“Monday,” Malone said.
医生摇了摇头。“今天是星期六。”他锐利地看了看马龙，然后又看了看坐在椅子上的年轻人。“你在医生的办公室里吗？”他目光敏锐地问道。
The doctor shook his head. “It’s Saturday.” He looked searchingly at Malone and then at the young man in the chair. “Are you in a doctor’s office?” he asked, eagle-eyed.
罗斯·麦克劳林嘟囔了些什么，听不清楚。
Ross McLaurin mumbled something unintelligible.
“我没听见你说什么。”医生严厉地说。他又重复了一遍问题。
“I didn’t hear you,” the doctor said sternly. He repeated the question.
年轻人又嘟囔了一遍。这次隐约能听到“草原上的家”几个字。
The young man mumbled again. This time the words “home on the range” were faintly distinguishable.
医生转向海伦。“很难从他那里问出什么。”
The doctor turned to Helene. “It’s difficult to get much out of him.”
海伦用力地点点头。“他不是个很健谈的人。”
Helene nodded vigorously. “He’s not a very talkative person.”
“我要试试一些巧妙的心理问题。”他紧紧地盯着他的病人。“告诉我。一条狗能跑进树林多远？”
“I’m going to try a few trick psychological questions.” He fixed an eagle eye on his patient. “Tell me. How far can a dog run into the woods?”
