砸橱窗

字幕原文

Around the corner, Soapy found a brightly lit shop window. 拐过街角，苏比看到了一扇亮堂堂的商店橱窗。

He picked up a cobblestone and hurled it straight through the glass. 他捡起一块鹅卵石，径直砸穿了玻璃。

People came running, a policeman in the lead. 人们纷纷跑了过来，领头的是个警察。

Soapy stood perfectly still, hands in his pockets, 苏比一动不动地站着，两手插在兜里，

and smiled at the sight of brass buttons. 一看见警服上的黄铜纽扣就露出了笑容。

"Where's the man who did that?" “砸玻璃的人在哪儿？”

demanded the officer. 警察质问道。

"Don't you think I might have had something to do with it?" “你就不觉得这事儿可能跟我有关吗？”

said Soapy pleasantly, as if greeting good fortune. 苏比笑呵呵地说道，仿佛是在迎接什么好运。

But the policeman's mind refused to take him seriously. 但警察压根儿就没往他身上想。

Men who smash windows don't stand around chatting with the law. 砸了橱窗的人可不会留下来跟警察闲聊。

They run. 他们拔腿就跑了。

Just then, the officer spotted a man halfway down the block, 就在这时，警察瞥见半条街外有个男的，

running to catch a streetcar. 正跑着去赶有轨电车。

He drew his club and raced after him. 他拔出警棍，拔腿就追了上去。

Sometimes the truth is standing right in front of us, 有时候真相明明就摆在眼前，

and we chase someone else instead. 我们却偏偏去追别人。

Soapy, disgusted, drifted away. 苏比扫兴透了，悻悻地走开了。

Twice unsuccessful. 两次都泡汤了。
