马斯格雷夫仪式 - 第二部分

你听到我说的话了。

You heard what I said.

为什么它会在地上？

Why was it on the floor?

你说你用了它？

You said that you that that that you used it?

我说我用了它。

I said I used it.

我不会把东西扔在地上。

I do not leave things on the floor.

尤其是诺曼时期的精致铁制传家宝。

Certainly not delicate iron heirlooms from the Norman period.

只要你在屋子里，只能看，不能碰。

You look, but you do not touch as long as you are under this roof.

你把它放回原位了吗？

Did you return it to its proper position?

雷金纳德。

Reginald.

雷金纳德。

Reginald.

冷静点。

Calm down.

好吗？

Alright?

没什么乱七八糟的。

There's there's no mess.

是的。

Yeah.

一切都看起来很棒。

Everything looks great.

我们只是，不好意思。

We just Excuse me.

想知道你为什么用斧头吗？

Want to know why you used the axe.

不是因为生气才用的，对吧？

It wasn't used in anger, was it?

天哪。

Oh, boy.

你没有挥着斧头去砍什么入侵者吧？

You didn't go swinging it at some intruder.

我正是用它来干这个的。

That is exactly what I used it for.

等等。

Wait.

什么？

What?

什么？

What?

于是面具脱落了。

And so the mask slips.

那是什么，福尔摩斯？

What was that, Holmes?

没什么。

Nothing.

美味的披萨。

Lovely pizza.

太好吃了。

Delicious.

为我们雪地中勇敢的送餐员干杯。

Cheers to our courageous delivery boy in the snow.

我们能回到持斧袭击的事情上吗？

So can we please get back to the axe wielding attack?

天哪。

Goodness gracious.

是什么时候？

When was it?

我最近脑子一片混乱。

My mind lately.

模糊不清，一团乱麻。

Blur, such a fuzz.

不。

No.

当然。

Of course.

是三周前的事。

It was it was three weeks ago.

是在理查德·布伦顿失踪之前还是之后？

Before Richard Brunton disappeared or after?

之前。

Before.

不好意思。

Excuse me.

绝对是在那之前。

Most certainly before.

我可以告诉你确切的原因。

And I can tell you precise why.

施工验收必须与当地规划部门以及两个独立的遗产保护组织协同进行，这些组织都会出具评级，以确认任何改动都符合适当的保护标准，等等，所有这些程序。

The construction sign off must be conducted in concert with the local authority planners and two separate heritage trusts, each of whom issue a grading to confirm that any alterations remain within the bounds of proper conservation and so on and all of this.

他们那天晚上大约五点半到场，也就是三周前。

They attended roughly half past five that evening, three weeks ago.

是的。

Yeah.

而且就在那一天，我还与水管工理查德·霍威尔斯见了面，他第二天就要开始施工。

And and and and on that particular day, I also got to convene with the plumber, Richard Howells, who was to be commencing the next day.

我们讨论了一条相当复杂的管道铺设方案。

We discussed a somewhat complicated pipe run.

总之，我最后留宿了一晚。

Anyway, I I ended up staying the night.

你看，这并不是我特别想卷入的事情，但是……

I and look, this is not a matter I'm especially eager to entangle myself in, But

什么事？

What is it?

我在工地那里发现了一点小东西，就是那个建筑工地。

I I found a little, you know, at the site, that is the the the building site.

我打扫了，你瞧。

I clean, you see.

我不停地打扫。

I clean incessantly.

事情必须如此。

Things must be so.

一点点，你知道的。

A little, you know.

是的。

Yes.

一种可能用来清除蛛网的物质。

A substance that one would perhaps use to blow out the cobwebs.

我不是指石质石灰岩拱顶上的那些。

And I don't mean the ones on the stone limestone vaulting.

不。

No.

可卡因。

Cocaine.

我们在说可卡因吗？

Are we talking about cocaine?

没错。

We are indeed.

总之，我去找了理查德·布伦顿谈这件事。

Anyway, I went to Richard Brunton about it.

毕竟这些活儿都是他的手下在做。

These are his chaps after all doing all this work.

我对他说：喂，老兄。

And I said, listen, old boy.

听好了，你这儿有各种人在这项目里到处打探。

Look here, you've got all sorts nosing around in this project.

这种事我们不能容忍。

We can't have this sort of thing.

就在我和他说话的那一刻，我不得不停住，因为我突然明白了。

And I just the the moment I was speaking to him, I had to stop myself because I just knew.

我看出来了。

I could see it.

那个人就是他？

That it was him?

是的。

Yes.

而且你看，我并不天真。

And look, I'm hardly naive.

我可是在对冲基金干了好几年呢，天哪。

I spent years in a hedge fund, for heaven's sake.

我不是那种道德警察。

I'm not some sort of moral constable.

但在赫尔斯通，这种事绝对不能容忍。

But one simply cannot have that sort of thing at Hurlstone.

撇开神秘感不说，你已经看到了。

Quite apart from the mystique, it is it is you've seen it.

这是英国历史上具有里程碑意义的景象，某些标准必须得到维护。

It's a it's a seminal sight in English history, and certain certain standards must be upheld.

所以整个事情令人极度尴尬，非常不舒服。

So the whole business was was was excruciating, deeply uncomfortable.

他语无伦次，面红耳赤，瞳孔大得像盘子。

It was rambling, flushed, pupils like dinner plates.

我见过足够多次了。

I've seen it often enough.

我明确说过，不要考虑把那东西带到这里。

I said quite plainly, do not even consider bringing that here.

是那种不诚实。

It's the dishonesty.

我实在无法忍受。

I I cannot abide.

那种东西是——我的意思是，抱歉。

That stuff is is I I I mean, pardon me.

那是胡说八道的燃料。

It's bullshit fuel.

那就是胡说八道的燃料。

It is bullshit fuel.

我拒绝被误导。

And I refuse to be misled.

而且无论如何，事情就这样结束了。

And I in any event, that that was that.

他一完成告别仪式，就兴高采烈地跑开了，到处是击掌和热情的握手，一副第一阶段完成的得意模样，而我却留了下来。

He he had trotted off once the sign off was complete, all exuberant high fives and hearty handshakes, the phase one accomplished bravado, and I remained.

寒潮一来，火车就乱成一团，所以我当晚住进了一楼的客房。

The trains were shambles the moment the cold snap began, so I took one of the 1st Floor guest bedrooms for the night.

为什么不睡主卧？

Not the master suite?

主卧。

Master suite.

天哪，不了。

Goodness, no.

就像睡在大教堂里，是我父亲以前的住处。

Like sleeping in a cathedral, a Pa's old lodgings.

不了。

No.

不。

No.

恐怕那里没什么美好的回忆。

No good memories there, I'm afraid.

是的。

Yes.

客房就足够了，而且半夜里我醒了过来，听到砰砰作响的声音。

The the guest bedroom would do, and I anyway, I I I in the night, I I wake up and I can hear this this boom and bang bang.

周围传来吱呀作响和叮当乱响。

There's this creaking and rattling around.

当然，夜晚一片寂静。

Totally still night, of course.

完全寂静。

Totally still.

严寒刺骨，窗户上结了冰，一切都冻住了。

Deep, deep frost, ice on the windows, everything.

没有风，也没有风暴，但我能听到楼下有动静。

There's no wind, no storm, but I can hear some action downstairs.

我想，天哪，真倒霉。

I think, oh, bloody hell.

来了。

Here we go.

我走下楼去。

I head down there.

我手里没有任何防身的东西，但当我跟着声音走时，它带我经过那条走廊，我伸手去拿。

Nothing to defend oneself, but as I follow the noise, it takes me past that hallway and I reach for it.

战斧。

The battle axe.

没错。

That's right.

我抓住它，顿时感觉勇敢多了，真的，我跟你说。

Grasp it, already feel a damn sight lot braver, let me tell you that.

我沿着那条石制走廊走下去。

And I I head down that stone corridor.

那地方越来越狭窄了。

It just gets tighter and tighter, that thing.

这是很久以前为人们建造的。

Made for people a long time ago.

我来到图书馆的门前，能看见里面透出的光。

And I get to the library door and I can see the light from inside spilling out.

里面有人在搞鬼。

Someone's bloody in there.

这太疯狂了。

That's crazy.

我深吸了一口气。

I took a deep breath.

我做好了准备，猛地推开大门，用最威严的低沉嗓音喊道：‘你到底在干什么？’

I braced myself and I threw open open the door with my best authoritative baritone and say, what the devil are you doing?

他就坐在那儿，只是盯着我。

And there he is, simply staring at me.

谁？

Who?

理查德·布伦顿。

Richard Brunton.

就是那个人。

The man.

他他妈的把脚翘得老高。

He's he's he's got his bloody feet up.

脚放在旧写字台上。

Feet up on the old bureau.

他正在翻阅文件。

He's perusing papers.

他用手指转着钥匙，一副主人的样子。

He's swinging keys on his finger like he owns the place.

那你是什么时候抓住他的？

So you caught him at what time?

天哪。

Oh, goodness.

凌晨一点左右？

1AM, perhaps?

凌晨一点。

1AM.

在你的图书馆里，那里是项目团队禁止进入的。

In your library, off limits for the project team.

对吧？

Right?

他向我倾泻了一大堆话。

It was an absolute deluge from him.

一股脑儿的解释、道歉和奉承。

This torrent of explanations and apologies and flattery.

对不起这个，对不起那个。

Sorry this, sorry that.

你是个传奇人物，是个正直的人，我们可以做个交易。

You're a legend, you're a decent chap, we can strike a deal.

我对历史和家谱非常感兴趣。

I'm terribly interested in history and ancestry.

没完没了。

On and on.

他的眼睛几乎要从眼眶里瞪出来了。

His eyes were practically bulging out of his head.

他说话快得像一百英里每小时。

He's speaking at a 100 miles an hour.

与此同时，我只是想着我父亲病得很重。

Meanwhile, I'm just my I my father was gravely ill.

我冷得发抖，精疲力尽，最后我彻底崩溃了。

I was frozen to the bone, exhausted, and I simply I snapped.

是的。

Yes.

我爆发了。

I snapped.

我完全失去了理智。

I I lost my temper entirely.

我当时离他的脸只有两英寸，真的是零距离。

I was two inches from his face quite quite literally.

别管斧头了。

Never mind the axe.

这才是我真正的攻击。

This was the real assault from me.

我满嘴脏话，什么都说，比我说的还要狠得多，我向你保证。

I I was effing this and effing that, consider considerably stronger than that, I assure you.

但我就不告诉你那些词了，你

But I will spare you the vocabulary, you

知道。

know.

是的。

Yes.

我确实知道。

I do know.

好。

Yeah.

抱歉。

Sorry.

继续吧，雷金纳德。

Carry on, Reginald.

而且，正如我所说，他仍然飘在云端，满心怒火。

And yes, as I've said, he was still on cloud bloody nine.

完全与现实脱节，还在不断重复那句可怕的话：‘我们能解决这个问题，雷格’，诸如此类。

Utterly impervious to reality, continuing with this ghastly refrain of we can sort this out, Reg, and so on.

首先，我根本不需要向雷格汇报。

Firstly, I do not answer to Reg for heaven's sake.

其次，滚出去。

Secondly, out.

快滚，伙计。

Get out, man.

立刻。

Immediately.

你的行为已经完全逾越了应有的界限，迪基·布兰顿，你的职位到此为止。

Quite beyond all bounds of propriety, your position here is finished, Dicky Branton.

我会找人接替你。

I shall secure a replacement.

他开始收拾自己的东西，然后令人震惊的是，这个愚蠢的家伙竟开始拍摄他刚才翻阅的文件。

He begins gathering his belongings, and then quite astonishingly, this cretinous fellow proceeds to take photographs of the documents he'd been rifling through.

我说了，现在就滚出去。

I said, out now.

你到底怎么了？

What precisely is the matter with you?

他终于走了，谢天谢地。

And off he went, mercifully.

第二天早上，他一点动静都没有。

The following morning, nothing nothing whatsoever from him.

连个屁都没放。

Not a not a peep.

与此同时，好几位同事已经到现场，都在等指示。

Meanwhile, several of the chaps had arrived on-site, all awaiting instruction.

所以我不得不自己来理清这个局面。

So I was obliged to disentangle the situation myself.

他们自然是在等水管工，我想。

They were naturally waiting on the plumbing, I believe.

我们不都是吗？

Aren't we all?

因此，才需要毛毯。

Hence, the blankets.

正是如此。

Quite so.

但是

But

既没有水管工，也没有理查德·布拉姆普顿。

no plumber and no Richard Brampton.

不过，公平地说，我已经把他打发走了，所以人们或许会认为他终于醒悟了。

Though, to be fair, I had dismissed him, so one might assume the penny had finally dropped.

几天过去了，整个项目完全停滞了。

A few days pass, the entire project grinds to a halt.

我试着亲自给他打电话，但毫无回应。

I attempt to call him myself and nothing.

一片寂静。

Total silence.

他的助理也没见过他。

His PA hadn't seen him either.

就这样结束了。

And that was that.

他彻底地、完全地消失了

He had simply vanished completely and utterly

走了。

gone.

从那晚在图书馆之后，就没人再见过他吗？

Nobody saw him after that evening in the library?

一个人都没有。

Not a soul.

一个人都没有，福尔摩斯。

Not a soul, Holmes.

没有。

No.

不。

No.

抱歉。

Sorry.

请原谅我。

Forgive me.

那不是真的。

That's not that's not true.

希格斯看到了他。

Higgs Higgs saw him.

希格斯？

Higgs?

是的。

Yes.

是的。

Yes.

粉刷匠。

Plasterer.

不确定他的教名。

Not sure of his Christian name.

他们都叫他希格斯。

They all called him Higgs.

他是在哪儿看到他的？

Where did he see him?

嗯，是的。

Well, yes.

他声称，就在第二天早上，他看到了理查德·布兰顿孤身一人的身影，就站在南草坪外的森林边上。

He he claimed he saw the lone figure of Richard Branton the very next morning, just stood out by the forest off the South Lawn.

他正慢慢地朝城堡走去。

He was slowly walking walking towards the castle.

然后呢？

And then what?

噗。

Poof.

消失了。

Gone.

不可能。

Impossible.

早上好。

Morning.

早上好。

Morning.

你在这儿干什么？

What are doing out here?

哇哦。

Woah.

确实是。

It is.

一片冬日仙境。

A winter wonderland.

昨晚下了大雪。

Thick snowfall overnight.

是的。

Yeah.

我看到了。

I see that.

天空现在放晴了，但温度大幅下降。

The skies are cleared now, but temperature has dropped considerably.

是的。

Yeah.

好吧，我们这一个月基本上一直处于冰冻天气，所以这样的雪迟早会发生。

Well, we've basically had freezing weather for a month, so snow like this was always gonna happen.

你在想什么？

What are you thinking?

关于昨晚雷金纳德对理查德·布兰顿的讲述。

About last night, Reginald's story on Richard Branton.

我担心，与这晴朗清新的天空不同，我的思绪可能一片混乱。

I fear, unlike this beautiful crisp sky, my mind may well be clouded.

对。

Right.

我明白。

I understand that.

你不相信自己的观察吗？

You don't trust your observations?

恐怕是的。

I fear not.

马斯格雷夫这个姓氏很复杂。

The Musgrave name is a complex one.

父亲对儿子而言既是慰藉，又是折磨。

The father was such comfort to the son, such a torment.

你认为他有责任吗？

Do you think he's responsible?

我认为他很可能就是。

I think he may well be.

这很奇怪。

It's strange.

他看起来像是

He seems like

请不要再一次告诉我他看起来有多好了。

Please don't inform me yet again how very nice he seems.

你在开玩笑吗？

Are you kidding?

在那场关于榆树披萨的讲座之后？

After the elm tree pizza lecture?

不。

No.

不。

No.

就像他来自另一个时代。

Like, like he's from another time.

另一个世界？

Another world?

没错。

Exactly.

怎么说？

How so?

他说话的方式、站姿、举止，整个人都那样。

He's just so the way he talks, the way he stands, his manners, the whole show.

是的。

Yep.

如果我只短暂地见过他，我会觉得他是个骗子，是个假货。

If I had met him briefly, I would think he's such a fake, a phony.

但他真的就是那样的。

But he really is that way.

哦，哇。

Oh, wow.

雪。

Snow.

嘿，约翰。

Hey, John.

我们真的已经提到雪四次了。

We literally mentioned the snow like four times.

哦。

Oh.

早上好。

Morning.

早上好。

Morning.

早上好，雷金纳德。

Morning, Reginald.

对。

Right.

手套，吉米，

Gloves, Jimmy,

还有帽子。

and hats.

哦，太棒了。

Oh, you beauty.

给你，

Here you

给你，夏洛克。

go, Sherlock.

对此我深表歉意，老兄。

Sincere apologies for this one, old boy.

恐怕这是更衣室里最后一顶帽子了。

Last of the hats I have in the dressing room, I'm afraid.

哦，一顶猎鹿帽。

Oh, a deerstalker.

对。

Right.

是的。

Yeah.

至少能让你的耳朵保暖。

Well, keeps your ears warm, at least.

嗯。

Mhmm.

天哪。

Blimey.

那件外套真够气派的，雷金纳德。

It's quite the coat there, Reginald.

保佑你，约翰。

Bless you, John.

她不就是这样吗？

Isn't she just?

我是在西藏把她带回来的。

I picked her up in Tibet.

嗯，应该说是在西藏边境。

Well, on the border of Tibet, I should say.

我想是2015年吧。

In 2015, I believe it was.

她是由猞猁毛皮制成的。

She's made of lynx.

西藏猞猁。

Tibetan lynx.

美丽的生物。

Gorgeous creature.

你会看到这个。

You'll see this.

看那里。

Look at that there.

确实有。

There is.

对。

Yeah.

这颜色配得真好。

That's that's good good coloring.

那精致的米色到金色，还有那淡淡的斑点，你看到了吗？

That exquisite beige to gold and the faint spotting there, you see?

西藏猞猁，了不起的生物。

Tibetan lynx, Marvelous beast.

优雅，是的，但极其严谨。

Elegant, yes, but utterly rigorous.

像这样的雪地里就有捕食者，雷金纳德。

Predators in snow just like this, Reginald.

如果你今天下午想猎捕什么猎物，你这身打扮再合适不过了。

Should you wish to stalk any prey this afternoon, you're certainly dressed for it.

对。

Right.

这雪可真够厚的，是吧？

Well, the snow is ever so thick, it?

这边走，我们可以去跟希格斯先生聊聊。

Come this way, and we can have a chat with mister Higgs.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得我短时间内不会把租来的车解冻了。

I don't think I'm thawing out the hire car anytime soon.

只要我们那位送货的伙计能穿过这片雪地，我们就能挺过去，约翰·沃森。

As long as our piece of delivery fellow can make it through, we shall endure, John Watson.

是的。

Yeah.

那辆奔驰是理查德的。

The Mercedes there, that is Richard's.

哦，但他把车留在这儿了。

Oh, but he left his car here.

是的。

Yes.

正如我所说，我们在争吵后的第二天早上他来上班了。

As I say, he came to work the following morning after our exchanging of words.

我本想向他道歉，但确实如此。

And I'd rather hope to apologize to him, but yes.

好的。

Okay.

这里是赫尔斯通城堡翻新项目的现场办公室。

This is Hurlstone Castle fixer upper HQ site office.

为什么那个在那里？

Why is that there?

这些都应该清理干净。

This should all be cleaned up.

可以接受。

Acceptable.

希格斯。

Higgs.

希格斯。

Higgs.

哦，雷金纳德。

Oh, Reginald.

你最近怎么样？

How you doing?

还好。

Alright.

希格斯，这里是未来将进行卓越修复工程的现场办公室。

This, Higgs, is a site office of what will be a masterful restoration.

我们不会留下杯子，不会留下水壶，也不会让旧鞋子乱扔，对吧？

We do not leave cups, we do not leave flasks, and we do not leave old shoes lying around, do we?

不会的，雷金纳德。

We don't, Reginald.

不会。

No.

对此表示歉意。

Apologies for that.

希格斯，这是什么？

Higgs, what is this?

这是什么？

What is this?

你的手。

Your hand.

它有多高？

How high is it?

很高。

Very.

这代表什么，希格斯？

And what does it represent, Higgs?

我们的标准。

Our standards.

没错。

Exactly.

这才是我们该达到的位置。

That is where we need to be.

不是这里。

Not here.

不是这里。

Not here.

在这儿。

Here.

当然。

Course.

你好。

Hi there.

你还好吗？

You alright?

这是凯文。

This is this Kevin.

凯文·希格斯。

Kevin Higgs.

凯文·希格斯。

Kevin Higgs.

对。

Right.

是的。

Yes.

考虑到发生的一切，你现在可以说是我们的代理了，对吧？

This is our somewhat of a deputy now, aren't you, with all all that's gone on?

这么说也可以。

Could say that.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

最后一个见到理查德·布伦顿的人。

The last man to see Richard Brunton.

我的意思是，对。

I mean, yeah.

有什么好笑的？

What's funny?

不。

No.

抱歉。

Sorry.

只是伙计们刚

It's just the lads had just

开玩笑。

Teasing.

是的。

Yes.

太不幸了。

Most unfortunate.

拿可怜的希格斯开玩笑。

Joshing of poor Higgs here.

我前几天听说了。

I heard it the other day.

为什么？

Why?

因为我以为我看到鬼了。

Because I reckon I saw a ghost.

你到底看到了什么？

What exactly did you see?

正如我之前所说，福尔摩斯先生，布兰顿先生正走着

Well Well, as I imparted earlier, Holmes, mister Branton walking

我要听希格斯先生的说法。

I will hear from mister Higgs.

不。

No.

是的。

Yes.

对。

Yeah.

当然。

Of course.

华生，也许你可以看看雷金纳德的左眼。

Watson, perhaps you could take a look at Reginald's left eye.

我在他紧张时注意到有几次抽动。

I have detected a twitch or two when distressed.

没事的。

It's fine.

谢谢。

Thank you.

我很好。

I'm quite alright.

凯文，如果你可以的话。

Kevin, if you could.

嗯，就像雷金纳德说的，那是理查德失踪的那天。

Well, it was like Reginald says, it was a day Richard went missing.

那天早上，我正在从我的货车里搬东西，抬头一看草坪，你知道的，太阳正美美地升起来。

The morning of I was getting bits out of me van, and I look out to the lawn and, you know, it's a beautiful sun coming up.

几点钟？

What time?

正好十点。

It was bang on ten.

我百分之百确定，因为那天我十点之前不需要到场，你看，我的泥瓦匠前一天就得开车过来。

I know that a 100% because I wasn't needed until ten because me plaster needed to drive from the day before, you see.

所以。

So.

明白了。

Right.

继续说。

Continue.

明白了。

Right.

是的

Yeah.

所以我望向草坪对面的树林，看到那个人正沿着草地缓慢地走着。

So I look out there towards the trees across the lawn, and I'm gonna see this man doing these, like, slow steps across the grass.

你确定那个人是理查德吗？

And you believe that man to be Richard?

绝对没错。

Absolutely.

为什么？

Why?

他穿着那件宽大的派克大衣。

He had his big puffy g lay on.

他不是一直穿那件吗？

He he always wore that, didn't he?

我看得清清楚楚。

I could see that.

他很高。

He was tall.

他是个高个子。

He a tall fella.

所以我们一看，肯定是他。

So we we look, it was definitely him.

明白了。

Understood.

他正在慢慢走路。

He's doing this slow walk.

是的？

Yeah?

他一直低着头。

He's got his head down the whole time.

他简直像在像僵尸一样走路。

He's almost like he's he's walking like a a zombie.

就在空地上？

Just out in the open?

草坪正中间？

Middle of the lawn?

是的。

Yep.

而这正是为什么这太疯狂了。

And and this is why that's mental.

对吧？

Right?

我转过身去，因为货车正沿着车道开过来。

I turn away from him because the van's coming up the drive.

是罗伊。

It's Roy.

罗伊？

Roy?

罗伊·豪斯，一个水管工。

Roy Howes, a plumber.

但水管工是理查德的人，对吧？

But the plumber is Richard's guy, right?

他不是那种我们都是本地人的那种，你知道的？

He's not like we're all local, you know?

理查德和罗伊来自我记不清的地方。

Richard and Roy come from I can't remember.

好像是诺福克之类的。

It's like Norfolk or something.

哦，天哪。

Oh, goodness.

这相当奇怪。

That's rather peculiar.

我前一天晚上见过罗伊。

I I I met Roy the night before.

然后呢？

And then What?

他从未来上班。

He never arrived to work.

我怎么都联系不上他。

I I could never contact him.

但你说他那天早上到了？

But you you say he arrived that morning?

是的。

Yeah.

起初，他确实出现了。

At first, he he definitely showed up.

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

我向他挥了挥手，然后转回身看向理查德在草坪上的位置，结果他不见了。

I'll give him a wave, then I turn back towards where Richard was on the lawn, and then he's gone.

理查德·布拉顿就这么消失了。

Richard Branton is just gone.

我以良心担保。

Hand on my heart.

不见了。

Gone.

他会不会跑回树林里了？

Could he have ran back to the trees?

什么？

What?
