“当然，你们都得在审讯时出庭。”他心不在焉地说。有一会儿他沉默不语，揉着一只耳朵。然后他突然狠狠地瞪着马龙。
“You’ll all have to appear at the inquest, of course,” he said in a faraway tone. For a moment he was silent, rubbing one ear. Then suddenly he scowled heavily at Malone.
“那很好，”他气愤地说，“但你还是没告诉我那个人那天晚上走进天使乔的酒吧然后倒地身亡的时候为什么在找你。”
“That’s all very well,” he said indignantly, “but you still haven’t told me why that guy was looking for you the night he came into Joe the Angel’s bar and fell over dead.”
“哦，那个呀，”小律师说，好像那是件无足轻重的事，他都给忘了。“一开始，文宁决定和图伊兹兄弟交涉。他想让我代表他，并且也跟他们这么说了。除了和文宁家族产业有关的律师，他不认识芝加哥的其他律师，而麦克莱恩夫人提到过我。”他停下来重新点着雪茄。
“Oh, that,” the little lawyer said, as though it was so unimportant he had forgotten it. “At first, Venning decided to deal with the Tuesdays. He intended to have me act for him, and told them so. He didn’t know any Chicago lawyers except those connected with the Venning estate, and Mrs. McClane had mentioned me.” He paused to relight his cigar.
“第一个图伊兹不想浪费时间开始谈判，所以他决定亲自来找我，把事情推动起来。他打听出我常去哪些酒吧，然后就出去找我。文宁就在这过程中遇到了他。这就是为什么文宁知道他必须马上行动，事实上就是那个晚上。”
“The first Tuesday didn’t want to lose any time getting negotiations under way, so he decided to look me up himself and start the ball rolling. He found out what bars I usually frequent, and went out hunting for me. Venning ran into him in the midst of it. That’s why Venning knew he had to act fast, that very night, in fact.”
冯·弗拉纳根想了几分钟才说：“哦。”
Von Flanagan thought that over for a few minutes before he said, “Oh.”
他走后，房间里安静了一会儿。最后马龙摇了摇头。“我什么都想到了。我不知道我是怎么做到的。”突然他对卢·怀特咧嘴一笑。“你戴着假发的时候我更喜欢你。你到底是在哪儿学会织毛衣的？”
After he had gone, the room was quiet for a little while. At last Malone shook his head. “I think of everything. I don’t know how I do it.” Suddenly he grinned at Lou White. “I liked you better with the wig on. Where the hell did you ever learn to knit?”
