马龙探案卷五 之 盛怒的审判 一
杰克逊县法庭那条长长的、昏暗的走廊寂静得如同坟墓，几乎密不透风。高高的天花板边缘，阴影聚拢成一片漆黑，烟雾弥漫，难以穿透；而下方广阔的空间里，只有一抹奇异、昏暗的半明半暗的光线，这光线更偏蓝色而非灰色，仿佛是自成一派。巨大的双扇大门外是烈日当空的正午，这条走廊里却宛如黄昏。
THE LONG, dark corridor of the Jackson County A Courthouse was as still as a grave, and almost as airless.Along the edges of the high ceiling, the shadows gathered into darkness, smoky and impenetrable; in the vast space below there was only a strange, murky half-light, more blue than gray, a light that seemed to be of its own making.Outside the great double doors it was blazing noon, but in this corridor it was dusk.
即便是在那个夏天最炎热的日子里，静止的空气中也带着一丝微弱而令人不适的寒意。
Even on that day, the hottest of the summer, there was a faint and unfortable chill in the motionless air.
清洁工哈维?巴顿正要从瓷砖地板上捡起一片微不足道的废纸，这时他停了下来，站在那里倾听，仿佛他希望能听到一些令人安心的声音。
Harvey Button, the janitor, paused in the act of picking up an infinitesimal scrap of wastepaper from the tile floor, and stood listening, almost as though he hoped to hear some reassuring sound.
当然，后来他声称自己有过预感。他说，这个预感在清晨就随着他醒来了。其实也不完全算是预感，而是一种隐约让人感到不愉快的感觉。没错，这可能只是天气的原因，或者是前一晚啤酒的影响，但他得意地指出，这背后有更宿命的意味。
Later, of course, he claimed to have had a premonition. It had, he said, wakened with him early in the morning. Not exactly a premonition, either, but a kind of vaguely unpleasant feeling. Yes, it could have been the weather, or even the last night’s beer, but, he pointed out triumphantly, it was something much more fateful.
一扇厚重的大门突然猛地打开，涌入的阳光让他不禁眨了眨眼。伴随着阳光，一股仿佛来自熔炉的炽热空气也随之涌入。他能看到，外面的树上方的天空中，出现了一道巨大的黑色条纹，开始遮蔽住刺眼的阳光。每一棵树的每一片叶子都纹丝不动。
One of the massive doors suddenly swung open, and the blast of sunlight made him blink. A rush of hot air came in with it as though from a furnace. Above the trees outside he could see a great dark streak in the sky, beginning to blot out the blazing glare. Every leaf on every tree was perfectly motionless.
