第二部分 TEXT
‘At the time the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London,'said the man.
‘Do you always catch such an early train?'asked the inspector.
‘Of course I do,'answered the man.‘I must be at work at 10 o'clock. My employer will confirm that I was there on time.'
‘Would a later train get you to work on time?'asked the inspector.
‘I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.'
‘At what time did you arrive at the station?'
‘At ten to eight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.'
‘And you didn't notice anything unusual?'
‘Of course not.'
‘I suggest,'said the inspector,‘that you are not telling the truth. I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train, but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time. You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o'clock train did not run at all. It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.'
參考譯文
"在兇殺發生的時候，我正坐在8點鐘開往倫敦的火車上。"那人說。
"您總是趕這樣早的火車嗎？"探長問。
"當然是的，"那人回答。"我必須在10點鐘上班，我的僱主會證明我是按時到了那兒的。"
"晚一點兒的車也能送您按時上班嗎？"
"我認爲可以，但我從來不乘晚一點兒的車。"
"您幾點鐘到的火車站？"
"7點50分。我買了張報紙，等着車來。"
"您沒有注意到有什麼異常情況發生嗎？"
"當然沒有。"
"我提醒您，"探長說，"您講的不是實話。您乘的不是8點鐘的火車，而是8點25分的，這次車同樣能使您按時上班。您看，在兇殺發生的那天早晨，8點鐘的那次車根本沒有發。它在芬格林車站出了故障而被取消
