“但他们不能因为我们是陌生人就对我们做什么。”
“But they can’t do anything to us for being strangers.”
“他们还没发现这一点，” 杰克严峻地说，“但我希望能教教他们。”
“They haven’t found that out yet,” Jake said grimly, “but I hope to teach them.”
治安官克林写完笔记，站起来，环顾四周。
Sheriff Kling finished his note-making, rose, and looked around.
“所有不常来法院的人都到这里这个办公室来。” 他大声吼道。
“Everybody who doesn’t regularly belong in the courthouse e into this office here,” he roared.
杰克咬紧牙关，大步沿着走廊走去。
Jake set his jaw hard and strode down the length of the corridor.
“听着，” 他说。“我和我妻子在钓鱼旅行。我们不是来这里来杰克逊县法院度过我们的假期的，我们不会再在这里闲逛了。”
“Now look here,” he said. “My wife and I are on a fishing trip. We didn’t e up here to spend our vacation in the Jackson County courthouse, and we’re not going to hang around any longer.”
“你这么想，是吗？” 治安官说。
“You think so, do you?” the sheriff said.
“想问什么就问，但快点问，” 杰克说。“然后我们就离开这里。”
“Ask any questions you want, but ask ‘em quick,” Jake said. “And then we’re getting out of here.”
治安官克林怒视着他。他的脸变得更紫了两个色度。
Sheriff Kling glared at him. His face turned two shades nearer purple.
“哦，不，你们不能走，” 他大声吼道。“你们要一直待在这里，直到我找出是谁谋杀了佩维利参议员。” 他愤怒地补充道，“我不在乎这是否要花整个夏天！”
“Oh no you’re not,” he roared. “You’re going to stay right here till I find out who murdered Senator Peveley.” He added furiously, “And I don’t care if it takes all summer!”
海伦戳了戳杰克的肋骨。“他是在扮唐老鸭还是格兰特将军？”
Helene poked Jake in the ribs. “Is he being Donald Duck or General Grant?”
这个转移注意力的方法奏效了。杰克的肩膀放松下来，他笑了。“那我们就留下来看看吧。” 他说。
The diversion worked. Jake’s shoulders relaxed, he laughed. “Let’s hang around and find out,” he said.
