监牢

Most impressive was the magnanimous attitude he showed the Rhodesian ruler Ian Smith—who had sent him to prison for a decade and refused to let him travel to Ghana to attend his son's funeral—who was allowed to live on in Zimbabwe after he lost power.

穆加贝最让人佩服的，是对罗得西亚统治者伊恩。史密斯所表现出的宽宏大量。史密斯使他坐过十年监牢，还不允许他去加纳参加儿子的葬礼。可是，他仍然允许史密斯在下台后继续留在津巴布韦。

The realist in murder writes of a world in which gangsters can rule nations and almost rule cities, in which hotels and apartment houses and celebrated restaurants are owned by men who made their money out of brothels, in which a screen star can be the fingerman for a mob, and the nice man down the hall is a boss of the numbers racket; a world where a judge with a cellar full of bootleg liquor can send a man to jail for having a pint in his pocket, where the mayor of your town may have condoned murder as an instrument of moneymaking, where no man can walk down a dark street in safety because law and order are things we talk about but refrain from practising; a world where you may witness a hold-up in broad daylight and see who did it, but you will fade quickly back into the crowd rather than tell anyone, because the hold-up men may have friends with long guns, or the police may not like your testimony, and in any case the shyster for the defense will be allowed to abuse and vilify you in open court, before a jury of selected morons, without any but the most perfunctory interference from a political judge.

写谋杀小说的现实主义作家所写的世界中，歹徒可能统治国家，甚至城市。在那里，旅馆公寓、有名的酒楼餐厅的主人是靠开妓院发财的，电影明星可能是盗匪的眼线，大厅里那个彬彬有礼的人可能是彩票老板。在这个世界里，法官藏有一地窖的私酒，却可能因一个人口袋里有一瓶酒而送他进监牢；你家乡的市长可能为了到手钱财而对谋杀案眼开眼闭；入夜之后无人敢在街上行走，因为法律和治安是句空话，从来没有实行过。在这个世界里，你很可能在光天化日之下见到有人沿路拦劫，明明看清楚是谁在作案，但是你马上躲开，混到人群中去，不愿出来告发，因为拦劫的人可能有朋友为他报复，或者警方可能不喜欢你出庭作证，不管怎样，为被告辩护的恶讼师可以在法庭上对你百般侮辱，因为陪审团里都是他们挑选的低能儿。有党派背景的法官除了敷衍一下外不会加以干涉。

BAPTISTA. Talk not, Signior Gremio; I say he shall go to prison.

巴普提斯塔：您不用管，葛莱米奥先生，我说非把他抓进监牢里不可。

I'm on the side of keeping the two top warriors of the KNT out of the slammer.

As we drove down to Cairo, Dick recalled that visit: how, upon his arrival, he'd been warned not to use the telephone in his motel room because the switchboard operator was a member of the White Citizens Council; how white store owners had closed their businesses rather than succumb to boycotters' demands to hire blacks; how black residents told him of their efforts to integrate the schools, their fear and frustration, the stories of lynching and jailhouse suicides, shootings and riots.

在我们驱车去开罗镇途中，迪克回忆起了那次拜访：他刚到镇上，就被警告不许使用他旅馆内的电话，因为接线员是白人市民理事会的一员；白人商店主宁愿关门都不屈服于抗议者的要求：雇用黑人；当地的黑人居民告诉他，他们在取消学校的种族隔离方面所做的努力，他们的担心和挫败感，对黑人处私刑、监牢内自杀、枪战和暴乱的故事。

I immediately randown the ladders with all possible expedition, fetched my two guns,for they were both at the foot of the ladders, as I observedbefore, and getting up again with the same haste to the top of thehill, I crossed towards the sea; and having a very short cut, andall down hill, placed myself in the way between the pursuers andthe pursued, hallowing aloud to him that fled, who, looking back,was at first perhaps as much frightened at me as at them; but Ibeckoned with my hand to him to come back; and, in the meantime, Islowly advanced towards the two that followed; then rushing at onceupon the foremost, I knocked him down with the stock of my piece.

这件事我们交给星期五和那两个跟船长一起上岸的人去办了。星期五等人把俘虏押解到石洞里，好像把他们投入监牢一样。事实上，那地方也确实够凄凉的，尤其是对于他们这种处境的人，更是阴森可怕。我又命令把其余的俘虏送到我的乡间别墅里去。关于这别墅，我前面已作过详尽的叙述。那边本来就有围墙，他们又都被捆绑着，所以把他们关在那里相当可靠。再说，他们也知道，他们的前途决定于他们自己的表现，因此谁都不敢轻举妄动。
