1、导读 公正是英国作家蒂姆维卡里的代表作之一。下面的文章节选自 小说公正第三章，让我们一起分享是否“Looking good，feeling good” 。 I Made Him Happy Alan Cole lay in his bed，listening to a bird singing in the hospital garden.It was nearly dark outside now，and very quiet.He liked to lie like this，remembering. He remembered the way Anna had kissed him， a
2、nd looked into his eyes.He remembered her redbrown hair，her blue eyes，the soft，dry touch of her lips，her deep，happy laugh. On the night before the bombing，he and Anna had been out for a meal in a restaurant.Then they had gone to the mews(马厩) to look at the horses.The guards knew she was his girlfrie
3、nd，so they didnt think it was unusual.One of the horses，Sandman， had hurt his leg that morning， Alan remembered.In the evening the leg had been hot， so he had put ice on it.Lucky Sandman，Alan thoughthe couldnt pull the coach(马车) next day，so he was still alive now. He was still thinking about Anna wh
4、en he drove the Queens coach to Parliament， with the six fine horses in front of him.For a moment he thought he saw her in the crowd，watching. Alan didnt want to think about what had happened next.He stared into the darkness outside the hospital window and thought：why hasnt she come to see me? Outsi
5、de， night had fallen， and the birds had stopped singing.Alan Cole lay quietly on his bed，the tears running slowly down his face. Jane sat on the chair in her flat and listened to the man and the woman arguing in her kitchen.She could hear，but she couldnt speak or see，because the man had put a bag ov
6、er her head.Her arms and legs were still tied to the chair，and her face ached where the man had hit her. She tried to get her hands free.She pulled as hard as she could，but the rope just burned her wrists.All she could do was listening to the voices in the kitchen. “We must phone him now，Kev.We cant
7、 wait.” “Weve got to wait.Its too dangerous to do it from here，Anna.Wait until were ready to go.” Anna！Jane thought.Was this her fathers Anna？No，no，lots of women were called Anna. “But we cant go until tonight， ”Anna said.“There are too many people around during the day.And every minute is important
8、！Perhaps Cole has already talked to the police about me.Oh God，I wish the bomb had killed him with the others！” “Well，it didnt.And it didnt kill the Queen.” Janes body was shaking.This was her fathers Anna！The woman was talking about her father，and the bomb.And then Jane remembered where she had see
9、n the woman before. Outside Parliament，with a camera，shaking it angrily.Taking photos of the back of peoples heads.Then pushing forwards to get closer，pressing the camera button again.a second before the bomb exploded. The voices in the kitchen stopped.The door opened， someone came into the room.Wha
10、t now? Jane heard the click of a gun. “Phone call for you，Mr Cole.Youre popular today，arent you？”The nurse smiled，pushed the telephone table next to his bed，and went out. Alan picked up the phone.“Hello？” “Mr Cole？This is Detective David Hall.You remember I came to see you yesterday.Im ringing becau
11、se Ive got a few more questions to ask you.Is it all right if I come over to see you now？” “Er.well，I suppose so.But Ive told you everything I know.” “Yes，Im sure.But its just that we have to get all the facts right.Ill come over now.Is that OK？” “Yes，fine.I.” “Great！See you in a few minutes，then.”
12、Alan put the phone down slowly.He felt old， and tired， and very， very lonely.Perhaps Ill ring Jane later when this mans gone， he thought.I hope she remembered to post the letter. Kev pulled the bag off Janes head and she saw the gun a few centimetres from her eyes.“Im going to untie this cloth round
13、 your mouth， ”Kev said.“If you scream，Ill put a bullet through your head.This gun is silenced，no one will hear anything.” They untied the cloth and pulled her chair over to the wall，where the phone was.The gun was pointing at her head all the time. “Do just what we tell you， ”Anna said.“And everythi
14、ng will be all right.” Jane was suddenly wild with anger.She said， “Youre Anna，arent you？My father loves youhe thinks youre wonderful.But you dont care about him at all，do you？You wish the bomb had killed him.” “ Of course I care about him， ” Anna said softly.“ Hes very important to me.Thats why Im
15、going to phone him now, and youre going to talk to him too.” Jane stared at her，then at Kev.“Why？” Anna laughed.“Im going to ask him to keep our love a secret.I have a very difficult husband，you know.” Whats the woman talking about？Jane thought.What does all this mean？Then， suddenly，a lot of things
16、came together in her mind，and everything became clear.Anna had been with her father in the mews on the night before the bombing.In the kitchen Anna had spoken about her father talking to the police.Jane could hear from Kevs voice that he was Irish，and he and Anna had moved out of Bowater Gardens on
17、the morning of the bombing.Later，Anna had been outside Parliament，doing strange things with a camera when the bomb exploded， if it was a camera.Perhaps it had been a radio， sending a signal to the bomb.Oh God! “Youre the terrorists，arent you？”she whispered.“You did it，Anna.You put the bomb in the Qu
18、eens coach.You exploded it with a camera.I saw you，outside Parliament.Youre terroristsmurdering terrorists，both of you！” Kev smiled coldly.“Well，well.What a clever little girl！But youre wrong.The police have arrested the terrorists.It was in the newspapers this morning.” “So？Theyre the wrong men，are
19、nt they？It was you two，I know it was！You killed five people，and took away my fathers leg，and now two innocent men will go to prison for thirty years，for something you did.But you dont care.” Kevs eyes were suddenly full of hate.“Care？About what？Were fighting to free Ireland.If the British put the wr
20、ong people in prison，thats not our problem.We care about staying free.Thats good for Ireland.” “Yes，and I suppose its good for Ireland to use innocent people like my fatherto make love to him just because you wanted to get into the mews to put the bomb in the coach.Did you enjoy that，Anna？Do you fee
21、l proud of it？” Anna laughed，a strange，quiet，cruel laugh.“Yes，of course I enjoyed it，little girl.And your father enjoyed it too.I made him happy.” “Happy！”Jane said.“You nearly killed him！” “Yes.Im sorry he didnt die，while he was so happy.” Silence.There was no answer to that，Jane thought. “Lets get
22、 on with it， ”said Kev angrily.“Were losing time.” Tears came into Janes eyes.“You dirty murderers， ”she whispered. Kev hit her across the face with his gun.Jane felt blood in her mouth.One of her teeth was broken. “We could kill her now， ”Kev said， “and get out of the country tonight.” “No，no， ”Ann
23、a said.“We must talk to Cole first.” “But we cant let her go， ”Kev said.“Shes seen our faces.She knows too much.” “Oh no， ”Anna said.Her voice was soft and cruel.“Of course not.But well keep her alive for some weeks，to make sure that Cole stays quiet.Pick up the phone，Kev.” 我让他高兴 阿兰科尔躺在床上， 倾听着医院花园里的
24、小鸟的鸣唱。现在外面基本上黑了， 而且很静。他喜欢这样躺着，回忆过去。 他回想起安娜是怎样吻他，怎样注视他的双眼。他回想起她那棕红色的头发， 蓝色的眼睛，柔软、干燥的唇感和她那深沉、开怀的笑。 在爆炸前的那天晚上，他和安娜去外面饭馆吃了顿饭。然后他们就去马厩看 马。门卫知道她是他的女朋友，所以不认为有什么不寻常。阿兰想起，那天早晨 有一匹叫山德曼的马伤了一条腿。 晚上， 那条马腿发热了， 所以他就把冰敷在上面。 幸运的山德曼，阿兰想第二天它没能拉马车，所以现在还能活着。 当他驾着六匹好马拉的女王马车朝国会驶去时，他脑子里还想着安娜。有那 么一瞬间，他觉得他在人群中看见了安娜，她正在观看 阿兰不
25、愿再往下想。他凝视着医院窗外漆黑的夜晚，想道：她为什么还不来 看我呢？ 外面，夜已经降临，鸟儿已不再鸣唱了。阿兰科尔静静地躺在床上，眼泪顺 着面颊慢慢地淌了下来。 简坐在房中的椅子上，听到那一男一女在厨房里争吵着什么。她听得见，却 不能叫喊，也看不见，因为那个男的在她头上套了一个袋子。她的手脚还捆在椅 子上，脸上被那男人打过的地方还在隐隐作痛。 她想把手挣脱出来。她使劲地往外拽着双手，可绳子只磨得她手腕火辣辣的。 她唯一能做的就是侧耳倾听厨房里的讲话声。 “我们必须现在就给他打电话，凯夫。我们不能等了。 ” “我们必须等。从这儿打电话太危险，安娜。等我们准备好走的时候再说。 ” 安娜！简想，这
26、个人是不是爸爸的那个安娜？不，不，很多女人都叫安娜。 “但我们直到今晚才能走， ”安娜说， “白天这儿周围人太多了。而且每一分 钟都很重要！也许科尔已经跟警察说起我了。噢，上帝啊，真希望那颗炸弹将他 和别人一块儿炸死！” “唉，没有。而且连女王也没炸死。” 简的身体在发抖。这个人确实是她父亲的安娜！那个女人正在谈论她的父亲， 还有炸弹。接着，简想起是在什么地方见过那个女人了。 国会大厦外，一个女人拿着照相机，生气地摇晃着。她给人们的后脑勺照相。 她向前挤着，想靠近些，再次按下了照相机的快门就在爆炸前一秒。 厨房里没声了。门开了，有人走进屋里。现在该怎么样了？ 简听到拉开枪栓的声音。 “您的电话
27、，科尔先生。今天您可成名人了，不是吗？”护士微笑着，把电 话桌推到床边，走了出去。 阿兰拿起电话。“喂？” “科尔先生吗？我是大卫荷尔警探。你一定记得，我昨天去看过你。我给你 打电话是想再问你几个问题。我现在过去看你，行吗？” “哦哦，可以吧。可我什么都跟你说了。” “是的，我知道。可我们得核对一下事实。我现在就来，行吗？” “行，好吧。我” “好的！那么一会儿见。” 阿兰慢慢地放下电话。他觉得自己老了，累了，而且非常非常孤独。也许等 这个人走了以后我该给简打个电话，他想，希望她没忘了寄信。 凯夫从简的头上拽下袋子，简发现枪口就离她眼睛几厘米远。“我要把围在 你嘴上的这块布解下来。”凯夫说，
28、“你要是叫一声的话，我就叫枪子儿穿过你的 脑袋。这把枪装了消音器，没人会听见什么的。” 他们解开布，把她坐的椅子拉到墙边，电话就在那儿。那把枪一直对着她的 脑袋。 “按照我们说的做， ”安娜说， “那样什么都好办。 ” 简突然气愤得发狂。她说：“你是安娜，不对吗？我父亲爱你他觉得你 好极了。可你却根本不在乎他，是不是？你希望炸弹把他炸死。 ” “我当然在乎他， ”安娜轻声说， “他对我很重要。所以我现在要给他打电话， 而且你也要跟他讲话。 ” 简盯着她看了看，然后又盯着凯夫。 “为什么？” 安娜大笑着。“我要让他对我们的爱保密。你知道，我可有个不好对付的丈 夫。” 这个女人在说什么？简想。这一
29、切意味着什么？接着，她脑子里突然一下涌 现出许多事，而且每件事都变得清楚了。爆炸前一晚，安娜曾和简的父亲一起在 马厩待过。刚才安娜在厨房说起简的父亲跟警察谈话的事。简可以从凯夫的声音 听出他是爱尔兰人，而且就在爆炸那天早上他和安娜搬出了堡渥特花园。后来， 安娜曾在国会大厦外，在炸弹爆炸时拿着照相机做着奇怪的事，如果那是台照相 机的话。也许那是无线电，正向炸弹发信号。噢，天啊！ “你们是恐怖分子，是不是？”她低声说， “是你干的，安娜！是你把炸弹放 到女王的马车里。你用一台照相机引爆了炸弹。我看见你了，就在国会外边。你 们是恐怖分子杀人的恐怖分子，你们俩全是！” 凯夫冷笑了一下。 “对，对。真聪
30、明的小姑娘！可你错了。警察已经抓到了恐 怖分子。今天早晨的报纸已经登了。 ” “所以？他们不是，不是吗？你们俩才是，我知道！你们杀了五个人，夺去 了我爸爸的一条腿，现在又要有两个无辜的人为了你们所做的一切去坐 30 年牢。 可你们并不在乎。” 凯夫的眼中忽然充满了仇恨。“在乎？在乎什么？我们是为解放爱尔兰而战。 要是英国人抓错了人， 那可不是我们的问题。 我们在乎自由。 那是为了爱尔兰好。” “是啊，而且利用就像我父亲那样无辜的人，也是为了爱尔兰你和我父 亲好，只是因为你想进马厩把炸弹放进马车。你当时很喜欢吧，安娜？你是不是 觉得很自豪？” 安娜笑起来，那是一种奇怪、悄然而又冷酷的笑。“是的，
31、我当然很喜欢， 小姑娘。而且你父亲也很喜欢。我使他开心。” “开心？”简说， “你差点儿杀了他！” “是啊。很遗憾他没有在那么开心的时候死。 ” 沉默。没有什么回驳的，简想。 “我们接着干吧。 ”凯夫生气地说：“我们时间不多了。 ” 简眼中充满了泪。 “你们这些肮脏的凶手， ”她小声说。 凯夫用枪打了她的脸。简感到嘴里有血。她的一颗牙被打碎了。 “我们现在就可以杀了她， ”凯夫说， “今天晚上就离开这个国家。 ” “不，不， ”安娜说， “我们必须先和科尔谈谈。 ” “可我们不能让她走， ”凯夫说， “她已经看到我们的脸了。她知道得太多了。 ” “噢，不能， ”安娜说。她的声音轻柔而冷酷。“当然不能了。可我们要让她 活几个星期，以确认科尔不讲出来。拿起电话来，凯夫。 ” 知识积累 1explode v爆炸 2stare at凝视，盯着看 3signal n.信号 4whisper v.耳语，低语，小声说 5arrest v.捕获 6innocent adj.无辜的 文化链接 公正之角色解读 公正的女主角安娜假装喜欢阿兰科尔，极尽温柔之能事，博得阿兰科尔 的怜爱。实际上，安娜利用华美温柔的外表作为诱饵引诱阿兰上钩，以达到其接 近英国女王炸死女王的目的，后来她成功地将炸弹放入女王马车炸死了五人，炸 伤阿兰。
