約翰?約瑟夫?馬龍，芝加哥最聒噪也最有名的刑事律師，不悅地盯著桌上的電報。這可能是個惡作劇，也可能是真事。不管是哪種情況，他都不想參與。
john joseph alone, chicago’s noisiest and ost noted crial wyer, stared urly at the telegra on his desk it ight be a gag, or it ight be serio whichever it was, he wanted no part of it
他是個矮胖、紅臉的男人，一頭濃密的黑色亂髮總是需要梳理。他那天早上剛穿上的芬奇利套裝，已經看起來像是他在高架橋下睡了六週一樣。他那條鮮豔的花格子三美元領帶上有個小汙點，潮溼的襯衫前襟上有一堆雪茄煙灰。
he was a short, pudgy, red-faced an, with a thick shock of dap bck hair perpetually need of bg his fchley suit, freshly donned that orng, already looked as though he had been sleepg under the el for six weeks there was a sall spot on his bright pid three-dolr cravat, and a cascade of cigar ashes on his dap shirt front
從他的外表看不出他在職業上的成功，但他的聲譽和客戶群都令人羨慕 —— 或者說不令人羨慕，這取決於從哪個角度看。他最關心的是確保他的客戶都不會進監獄，而每當這無法在不出庭的情況下實現時，他在陪審團面前的表現與其說是技術性的，不如說是戲劇性的。
there was nothg about his appearance to dicate his suess his profession, but both his reputation and his clientele were enviable-or unenviable, dependg on how one looked at it his greatest ncern was seeg that none of his clients nded behd the bars, and whenever this uldn’t be achieved without actually appearg urt, his anner before a jury was not uch technical as pyrotechnical
他對著電報做了個厭惡的表情。“傑克和海倫上次捲入謀殺案差點
