“I got so mad I walked out onna party. I must’ve been drunk to do thing like that. Wandered around and got into a bar. There was a man came in, good-looking young man. Dead now, poor devil. He called the bartender and said he was looking for man named Malone.”
“那就是我。”律师说。
“That’s me,” the lawyer said.
罗斯·麦克劳林盯着他，仿佛第一次见到他。“你叫马龙？真想不到。世界真小，不是吗？”
Ross McLaurin stared at him as though seeing him for the first time. “Your name Malone? Imagine that. It’s a small world, isn’t it?”
“每分钟都在变小。”马龙向他保证。
“Getting smaller every minute.” Malone assured him.
“继续说。”杰克耐心地说，“这个男人走进酒吧找马龙……”
“Go on,” Jake said patiently. “This man came into the bar asking for Malone—”
“这个名字听起来很熟悉。我记得莫娜提起过一个马龙。跟我讲过他。所以我就朝这个家伙走过去。我径直走到他跟前，我说，‘我认识一个马龙。听说过他的所有事情。约翰·约瑟夫·马龙。对女人有不可抗拒的魅力。很棒的律师。’”
“Name sounded familiar. Remembered Mona had talked about a Malone. Told me about him. So I went up to this chap. I went right up to him and I said, “I know of a Malone. Heard all about him. John Joseph Malone. Irresistible to women. Wonnerful lawyer.”
“那还是我。”马龙说着，伸手去拿杜松子酒。
“That’s still me,” Malone said, reaching for the gin.
“闭嘴。”海伦说，“继续，罗斯。他说了什么？”
“Shut up,” Helene said. “Go on, Ross. What did he say?”
“他说那就是他要找的人。”
“He says that was the man he was looking for.”
“看，”马龙得意洋洋地说，“我就说吧。”
“See,” Malone said triumphantly. “I told you so.”
这一次海伦没理他。罗斯·麦克劳林也没理他，现在他全神贯注地讲着自己的故事。
This time Helene ignored him. So did Ross McLaurin, now absorbed in the telling of his story.
“我说，‘我帮你找他。’他说，‘太好了。’于是我喝了一杯，然后我们一起走了出去。有一首非常好听的歌就叫这个名字。”他决定唱这首歌。“我们将一起漫步……”
“I said, ‘I’ll help you look for him.’ He said, ‘Fine,’ so I had a drink and out we went. Together. There’s a very good song with that for a title.” He decided to sing it. “We’ll stroll along—together—”
杰克说：“听着，罗斯。别唱了。你还记得除夕夜你发生了什么事吗？”
Jake said, “Listen, Ross. Skip that. Do you remember what happened to you on New Year’s Eve?”
