S：Murder, Dr Stapleton. Refined, cold-blooded murder. Will you tell little Kirsty what happened to Bluebell, or shall I?谋杀斯坦佩顿博士，深思熟虑的，冷血谋杀。 还是我来？铃兰的下场你来告诉小科斯蒂。

S：Jesus! Nothing there! It doesn't make any sense!上帝，什么都没有，没道理呀。
Stapleton：What were you expecting to find?你到底想找什么?
S：A drug, of course.It has to be a drug. An hallucinogenic or a deliriant of some kind. There's no trace of anything in the sugar.当然是药，一定有一种药。致幻剂或引起精神错乱的药，糖里面并没有痕迹。
W：Sugar?糖?
S：Sugar, yes. A simple process of elimination. I saw the hound, saw it as my imagination expected me to see it. A genetically engineered monster. I knew I couldn't believe my eyes, so there were seven possible reasons, the most possible being narcotics. Henry Knight, he saw it too, but you didn't, John. You didn't see it. We have eaten and drunk the same things since we got to Grimpen, apart from one thing. You don't take sugar in your coffee.对，糖。很简单的排除法，我见到猎犬，就像我想象中的一样，一个基因改造的怪兽，我知道不能相信自己的眼睛，所以有7种可能性，其中最有可能的就是麻醉药，亨利·奈特也看到了，但你没看到，约翰，我们到格林盆后，吃喝的都一样，除了一件事，你的咖啡里不加糖。
W：I see, so?我知道所以?
S：I took it from Henry's kitchen,his sugar. It's perfectly all right.我从亨利厨房里拿了糖，但它完全正常。
W：But maybe it's not adrug.也许不是被下药了。
S：No, it has to be a drug. How did it get into our systems? How? There has to be something, something...Something... Something buried deep.不，一定有下药。我们从哪吸收的药物，从哪?一定有什么事一定有什么，隐藏在深处的事情。
S：Get out.出去。
Stapleton：What?什么?
S：Get out, I need to go to my mind palace.出去，我得进入我的思维殿堂。
Stapleton：Your what?你的什么?
W：He's not going to be doing much talking for a while, we may as well go.他一段时间之内不会说话我们还是走吧
Stapleton：His what?他的什么?
W：Oh, his "mind palace". It's a memory technique, a sort of mental map. You plot a map with a location, it doesn't have to be a real place. You deposit memories there. Theoretically, you never forget anything. All you do is find your way back to it.他的"思维殿堂"是一种记忆方法，精神世界的地图，给一个场所画块地图，不需要真有空间，然后把记忆储存在里面，理论上，你不会忘掉任何事，只需按图找回去。
Stapleton：So this imaginary location could be anything, a house or a street?随便想象什么场所比如房子，或一条街?
W：Yeah.对。
Stapleton：But he said "palace", he said it was a palace?但他说殿堂，是个殿堂?
W：Yeah, well, he would, wouldn't he?是啊挺配他的是吗?
S：Project HOUND. Imust have read about it, stored it away. An experiment in a CIA facility inLiberty, Indiana. H-O-U-N-D猎犬计划，我肯定在哪读过，存在记忆里，印第安纳自由镇，中情局属地的实验。
Stapleton：That's as far as my access goes, I'm afraid.恐怕只能进入到这里了。
W：There must be an override, a password?肯定有高等级的密码吧。
Stapleton：I imagine so, but that'd be Major Barrymore's.大概有，可那得是巴里莫尔少校的。
S：Password, password. Password. He sat here when he thought it up. Describe him to me?密码，密码，密码，他想出密码的时候坐在这里，描述一下他?
Stapleton：You've seen him.你见过他。
S：But describe him.描述他。
Stapleton：He's a bloody martinet, a throw-back, the sort they'd have sent into Suez.严苛得要命老古板，会被派去苏伊士的类型。
S：Good, excellent, old-fashioned. Traditionalist. Not the sort to use his children's name as a password. He loves his job, proud of it and this is work-related. So what's at eye level? Books. Jane's Defence Weekly, bound copies. Hannibal. Wellington. Rommel. Churchill's History of the English-Speaking Peoples, all four volumes.非常好，守旧，传统主义者，不会用孩子的名字作密码，他热爱工作，为此自豪所以和工作有关，他视线朝哪?书，简氏防务周刊、合订本、汉尼拔、威灵顿、隆美尔、丘吉尔的英语国家史略全4册。
S：Churchill, he's fond of Churchill. Copy of The Downing Street Years, one to five. Separate biographies of Thatcher. Mid-1980s, at a guess. Father and son. Barrymore Senior, medals, Distinguished Service Order.丘吉尔，他特别喜欢丘吉尔，唐宁街岁月，一二三四五本，不同的撒切尔夫人传，80年代的中期吧父子照，老巴里莫尔戴着军功章，杰出服务勋章。
W：That date, I'd say Falklands veteran.看日期应该是福克兰岛老兵。
S：Right, Thatcher's a more likely bet than Churchill.好吧，撒切尔比丘吉尔更可能。
Stapleton：That's the password?这就是密码?
S：No! With a man like Major Barrymore, only first name terms would do.不，巴里莫尔上校这样的人，只会用教名。
Stapleton：hound猎犬。
W：Jesus上帝啊。
