7 The Carew Murder Case

CHAPTER 7 The Carew Murder Case It was nearly a year later that all of London was shocked by a hateful and horrible crime. Mr. Danvers Carew, a well-known politician, was murdered. The details were few and startling. A maid in Dr. Jekyll's house had gone to bed at about eleven o'clock. Her room overlooked an alley that was brilliantly lit by the full moon. She sat at the window

第七章卡鲁谋杀案差不多一年后，整个伦敦都被一起可恨而恐怖的犯罪事件震惊了。 丹弗斯·卡鲁先生，一位著名的政治家，被谋杀了。 细节少之又少，令人吃惊。 杰基尔博士家的一个女仆十一点左右就上床睡觉了。 她的房间俯瞰着一条被满月照亮的小巷。 她坐在窗边

for some time, looking over the beautiful scene. Later, she told the police that it was the most peaceful night she had ever experienced—until she saw two men in the alley. The maid noticed an old man walking through the alley first. He was well dressed and had a beautiful mane of white hair. She could see his face clearly in the bright moonlight. She thought he looked handsome and kind. Then she saw another man walking toward him. This second man was small and wore a heavy coat and dark hat. As they approached one another, the older man bowed to the second man. The maid thought that the older man was asking for directions. The old man held up a piece of paper and pointed down the alley. As she could see his face clearly, she knew he was calm and rather jolly. He even laughed. Then she noticed the face of Mr. Hyde. She recognized him as the

一段时间，看着美丽的景色。 后来，她告诉警察，那是她经历过的最平静的夜晚——直到她在巷子里看到两个男人。 女佣注意到一个老人先穿过小巷。 他穿着得体，长着一头美丽的白发。 在明亮的月光下，她能清楚地看到他的脸。 她觉得他看起来既英俊又善良。 然后她看见另一个人朝他走来。 第二个人个子不高，穿着厚外套，戴着黑帽子。 当他们彼此走近时，老人向第二个人鞠了一躬。 女仆以为老人是在问路。 老人举起一张纸，指着那条小巷。 因为她能清楚地看到他的脸，她知道他很平静，而且相当快乐。 他甚至笑了。这时，她注意到了海德先生的脸。 她认出他是

sometime visitor of her master. Hyde held a heavy cane in his hand. He was swinging it by his side. All of a sudden, Hyde raised the cane above his head. The older gentleman took a step back, but it did not help. The maid watched in horror as Hyde swung the cane. The older gentleman fell to the ground. The maid fainted. When she woke up several hours later, she ran to the police to report the murder. They responded at once. At first, they did not know the victim's name, but they discovered a letter on his body. It was addressed to Mr. Utterson. The lawyer was awoken from his bed in the middle of the night to identify the body. He went with the police to the hospital where the body was waiting. His first thought was that Dr. Jekyll had been killed. He was very nervous and frightened for his friend. It took a great deal of courage for the lawyer to look at the body. He did not know

有时是她主人的客人。 海德手里拿着一根沉重的手杖。 他把它挂在身边。 突然，海德把手杖举过头顶。 老先生往后退了一步，但无济于事。 女仆惊恐地看着海德挥着手杖。 老先生倒在地上。 女仆晕倒了。当她几小时后醒来时，她跑到警察局报告了这起谋杀案。 他们立即作出了回应。起初，他们不知道受害者的名字，但他们在他的尸体上发现了一封信。 信是写给厄特森先生的。 律师半夜从床上被叫醒去辨认尸体。 他和警察一起去了医院，尸体在那里等着。 他的第一个想法是。 杰基尔被杀了。他为他的朋友感到非常紧张和害怕。 律师看了看尸体需要很大的勇气。 他不知道

what he would do if it was Jekyll. "I recognize him," Utterson said. "I am sorry to say that this is Sir Danvers Carew." "No! This case will be in all the morning papers," the police officer said. He shook his head in amazement. "Sir, we are also hoping you will have some knowledge of the criminal." The police then told him the maid's story of Mr. Hyde beating Carew with his cane. Mr. Utterson was taken aback. "Hyde, did you say?" He was shocked that Hyde would have a connection with someone else he knew, especially Sir Danvers Carew. He had been prepared for Hyde to have hurt even killed – Dr. Jekyll, but not Carew. Utterson wondered if anyone was safe from Mr. Hyde. The lawyer looked quite ill. "Yes, sir," the police officer said. "He used this cane as a murder weapon." The officer passed the walking stick to Utterson. The

如果是杰基尔他会怎么做 “我认得他，”厄特森说。 “很抱歉，这位是丹弗斯·卡鲁爵士。” “不!这个案子会出现在所有的早报上，”警官说。 他惊奇地摇了摇头。 “先生，我们也希望您能对罪犯有所了解。” 然后警察把女仆的故事告诉了他，说海德先生用手杖打卡鲁。 厄特森先生吃了一惊。 “你是说海德吗？”海德居然和他认识的另一个人，尤其是丹弗斯·卡鲁爵士有关系，这使他大为震惊。 他早就料到海德会伤害他，甚至杀死他。 杰基尔，但不是卡鲁。厄特森不知道有没有人能免受海德先生的伤害。 律师看上去病得很重。 “是的，先生，”警官说。 “他用这根手杖作为凶器。” 警官把手杖递给厄特森。 的

lawyer gasped. He recognized it as a gift he had given to Dr. Jekyll several years before. Jekyll must have given it to Hyde. Or Hyde had stolen it. Utterson did not mention this fact to the police. He knew that he was hiding evidence, but he was concerned for his friend. He wanted to talk to Jekyll first. There was a more important matter at the moment, though. Hyde must be found and arrested. Utterson knew where to look. The lawyer still had the strange man's card in his wallet. "If you will come with me," Utterson said, shaking his head sadly, "I can take you to Mr. Hyde's apartment."

律师气喘吁吁地说。他认出这是他送给史密斯博士的礼物。 几年前的杰基尔。 肯定是杰基尔给海德的。 或者是海德偷了它。厄特森没有把这件事告诉警察。 他知道自己在隐瞒证据，但他很担心他的朋友。 他想先和杰基尔谈谈。 不过，当时还有一件更重要的事情。 必须找到并逮捕海德。 厄特森知道该往哪儿看。 律师的钱包里还留着那个陌生人的名片。 “如果你愿意跟我去，”厄特森伤心地摇着头说，“我可以带你去海德先生的公寓。”
