幾百年前說人似書如命是貶義，現(xiàn)在看來則是褒義。

歷史的流行潮流在幾百年就會完全相反。

不像是血型，一直不會改變，年年夏天眾多蚊子只寵你一人。

But some questions can be dangerous.?

//eg. 你有停止毆打你的家人嗎。

It is better not to know the answers.?

//打破砂鍋問到底，不能發(fā)揚在這里。

And dead men, of course, cannot ask, or answer, questions…

//人死不能開口，就像自然之道：明年今日，花又重開。陽光普照，積雪融化。樹無皮死，葉落歸根。冰風似刀，唇亡齒寒。

'An hour,' he thought. 'Sleep for an hour. Then go on. Go south. Hide in the day, and move at night. I can get there in five days, perhaps six.'

//逃亡時也不忘了冷靜計劃，小心行事。

the Chief said 'Sit down'. Then they sat down—but not before.

//強調(diào)then：警長先發(fā)話坐下，他們才可以坐。

//犬夜叉最討厭的人。

The next morning Alex Dinon was forty kilometres south of the prison.

//一夜跑40km。

'Oh, you were hungry,' she laughed.

//強調(diào) were：確實是…

'How did you escape from prison?' Marta asked suddenly.

//不僅是逃亡者的驚悚瞬間，也讓讀者嚇一跳：原來是恐怖小說。

They stayed in the office and slept between telephone calls.

//警察睡在電話鈴聲中…

The police give her money, and she tells them all the secrets of the village. Everybody hates her!'

//告密者，舉報者，背叛者，向來就不受歡迎。

'Huh!' Marta said angrily. 'I'm not afraid of the police or their questions. Alex Dinon? Who's he? Is he somebody on television?'

//可愛的老太婆.

Felix looked sadly at Marta.

//所有人都不幫助警察。

'Oh, I know that,' Marta said. 'The newspapers said that. But newspapers and the television never tell us the true story. Alex Dinon isn't a murderer. He's a nice young man.'

//大部分報紙，電視寧愿否認現(xiàn)實，也不愿面對真相。----喬治。

But I can tell you one thing. You can begin with the new President. He's got a murderer's face.'

//強調(diào)很多次 YOU，HE，就是不認為是逃亡者謀殺了總統(tǒng)。

The woman whispered to the boy, and the boy came up to Alex. 'There are two policemen in the street,' he said very quietly, 'and they're coming here.'

//都認出了逃亡者，都幫助了他。

'People never help the police in this country,' Adam said. 'People don't like us.'

//People 又不傻。

I think I know the answer. They want him dead. And I want to know why!'

//在警察體制內(nèi)只有服從命令的份。記得飛虎隊周星星說，特種作戰(zhàn)隊員怎么可能會被調(diào)取當交警，結(jié)果不還是扶著摩頭車發(fā)呆。

'That's going to be difficult,' Adam said. 'Soldiers shoot first, and ask questions later.'

//服從命令的才是好士兵，想得多就不適合，就像我。

Felix sat down and looked at Eva Hine. 'A lot of people think...' He stopped. Then he began again. 'They say... Alex Dinon wasn't the President's murderer.'

//在這里學起來：當你說，“人們認為…”的時候，其實就是你也認為…當你說，"人們這樣說… "的時候，卻不一定是你說的。掩蓋自己的意圖，也要隱藏的深一些，不能像個小學生。
