[00:21.73]他們約束她，讓她堅持強制節(jié)食。 [00:24.76]She had considerable power herself, [00:26.84]她自己當然有相當大的權(quán)力， [00:28.92]but they had consolidated together [00:30.90]他們卻聯(lián)合起來 [00:32.89]in order to keep her weight at a constant level of decline [00:35.51]讓她的體重保持不斷下降的水平 [00:38.14]so as to best increase sales of the clothing line they sold. [00:40.82]可是為了最大限度地增加他們公司的服裝銷售， [00:43.49]Her thinness was becoming conspicuous, however, [00:45.87]然而，她的消瘦變得很引人注目， [00:48.25]and television consultants [00:50.29]電視顧問 [00:52.32]were begining to tell her to consume more food,for God's sake! [00:55.14]開始要她看在上帝的份上多消費點兒食物!

[01:09.47]并且給她一些積極的咨詢。 [01:11.65]This constituted a mutiny to her company,however, [01:14.67]但這對她的公司構(gòu)成了反叛， [01:17.69]and they were planning to lock her [01:19.50]所以他們打算把她關(guān)進 [01:21.32]in a conservatory to control her before any one else could. [01:24.14]一家音樂學(xué)院,在別人之前控制起來。 [01:26.96]That was when Miss Elizabeth [01:28.74]就是從那時起，伊麗莎白小姐 [01:30.51]began to slip more and more into pression each day. [01:32.56]的心情開始一天天滑向抑郁的深淵。 [01:34.62]The consistency of her public appearances declined [01:37.14]她在公眾面前的形象越來越?jīng)]有了一致性， [01:39.66]and people began to construct all kinds of theories as to what was happening.

[02:15.03]他們或許犯了個錯誤。 [02:16.80]As Miss Elizabeth's younger sister, Miss Delphine, [02:19.59]然而，當伊麗莎白小姐的妹妹黛爾芬小姐 [02:22.37]stepped in to take over her sister's share in the company,however, [02:25.24]前來繼承姐姐在公司里的股份時， [02:28.11]the constituents convinced her as well [02:30.39]成員們也給她勸導(dǎo)了一番， [02:32.66]that she needed to lose weight in order to boost sales. [02:35.23]讓她相信為了提高公司的銷售額，她需要減肥。 [02:37.81]Miss Delphine sadly began the same slide that had taken her sister. [02:40.82]黛爾芬小姐慘兮兮地開始重蹈姐姐的覆轍，體重日益下降。 [02:43.84]No one had learned anything. [02:45.66]沒有人吸取任何教訓(xùn)。 [02:47.47]consumer-contractualA rant against consumerism [02:50.85]對消費主義的控訴 [02:54.24]Consumerism has taken over the globe.

[03:15.19]要永遠索取更多，追求最好。 [03:17.62]When one contemplates the absurdity of this,however, [03:20.65]但是，只要我們仔細考慮一下這樣做的荒謬性， [03:23.68]one realizes that international corporations [03:26.05]就會意識到國際大公司 [03:28.43]seem to hold real people in contempt. [03:30.56]似乎并不尊敬真正的人。 [03:32.69]It appears to be their contention that a company's success [03:35.42]他們的論點好像是企業(yè)的成功 [03:38.15]is more important than containing global problems [03:40.63]要比抑制全球性問題更為重要， [03:43.11]that reflect the cost of consumerism. [03:45.15]而這些問題反映出消費主義付出的代價。 [03:47.19]Many contend that we have already contaminated the world beyond repair. [03:50.27]許多人認為我們已經(jīng)把世界污染得無法修復(fù)。 [03:53.35]Containers of oil burst and pollute the seas with conta-minants each day.

[04:21.45]或者改變我們的消費方式的應(yīng)變計劃。 [04:23.26]In this context [04:24.72]在這種背景下， [04:26.19]consumers must no longer remain content [04:28.32]消費者再也不能滿足于 [04:30.45]to feed the giants with their hard-earned money.

[05:42.60]誰都不知道卡里根的來歷， [05:44.53]Not even his employers at the convention center. [05:46.80]就連他在會議中心的雇主們也不知道。 [05:49.07]Carrigan had escaped conviction for a serious crime. [05:51.71]里根犯有重案卻沒有被定罪。 [05:54.35]It was very controversial at the time [05:56.38]當時這件事非常有爭議， [05:58.40]and the public tried to convince the court afterwards [06:00.92]后來公眾試圖說服法庭 [06:03.44]to have Carrigan wear a copper device [06:05.52]讓卡里根戴個銅制裝置 [06:07.60]so that they would always know where he was. [06:09.82]以便隨時掌握他的行蹤。 [06:12.04]The controversy was great,but the court of law said that he was innocent [06:15.28]爭論非常激烈，可法庭說他是無罪的， [06:18.51]and that it was not conventional to monitor [06:20.73]是不合常規(guī)的,監(jiān)控 [06:22.96]an innocent man freed from conviction. [06:25.23]一個沒有判罪的無辜者 [06:27.50]That would contradict his right to freedom. [06:29.56]那樣做會同他的自由權(quán)相矛盾。 [06:31.63]Now Carrigan was just the conference convenor [06:34.11]現(xiàn)在卡里根是會議召集人 [06:36.59]responsible for coordinating the daily events at the center.

[06:48.09]每天都為改進中心的工作做出貢獻， [06:50.67]But his contribution was not so great that he was always busy. [06:53.45]但是他的貢獻還沒有大到讓他終日忙碌的地步。 [06:56.24]He had,in fact, perhaps too much free time. [06:58.61]事實上，他也許是自由的時間太多了。 [07:00.99]That was when he converted his garage into a workshop for auto repair. [07:05.12]就在這時，他把他的車庫改成了汽車修理鋪， [07:09.24]But it was only a contrived workshop, [07:11.23]但這只是一個精心策劃、掩人耳目的鋪子， [07:13.21]which conveyed a sense of good business. [07:15.19]它傳遞了一種生意興隆的感覺， [07:17.16]In the back were all the tools Carrigan needed to commit his next crime. [07:20.19]可在修理鋪后面卡里根藏著所有下次作案的工具。 [07:23.22]His coordinator position as well was only a cover; [07:26.05]他的協(xié)調(diào)員身份其實也只是個掩護， [07:28.89]Carrigan was a true criminal. [07:30.77]卡里根是個不折不扣的罪犯。 [07:32.65]That was why he was so good at the Convention Center; [07:35.08]這就是他為什么在會議中心表現(xiàn)很好的原因。 [07:37.51]Carrigan's coordination skills were superb. [07:39.78]卡里根的協(xié)調(diào)技能相當高超， [07:42.05]He was an expert at masking his true identity from the public. [07:44.84]他是個在公眾面前掩飾真正身份的專家， [07:47.62]And he was excellent at conversing with people; [07:50.05]并且還很善于和人交談， [07:52.48]they all believed him to be a nice guy. [07:54.50]他們都相信他是個好人。 [07:56.53]When crimes resembl-ing the ones that Carrigan had almost been convicted of [07:59.50]當幾乎讓卡里根定罪的案子 [08:02.48]began occur again, [08:04.10]再次發(fā)生時， [08:05.72]not even the police thought to look at Carrigan again. [08:08.50]就連警方都沒想到要再查一查卡里根， [08:11.29]He had been smart. [08:12.81]因為卡里根很聰明， [08:14.34]They had known him then as always using a wire,now he used a cord. [08:17.97]他們知道他一直用金屬絲，這回他用的卻是一段細繩。 [08:21.60]The difference was subtle, [08:23.18]兩者差別甚微， [08:24.76]but the police thought it was the core of the matter. [08:27.29]警方卻認為它是問題的核心。 [08:29.81]corporate-coupleA counter productive attempt [08:32.78]適得其反的嘗試 [08:35.76]The corporation was too close to the city council for its own good. [08:38.70]為了自身的利益公司離市政委員會太近了。 [08:41.64]The relationship was cosy with the suspicion of corrupt dealings too likely. [08:44.72]關(guān)系太密切，很可能讓人懷疑有腐敗交易。 [08:47.80]And it was becoming costly; [08:49.48]這給公司帶來了很大的損失 [08:51.15]the Corporation's public approval was declining. [08:53.93]公司的公眾支持率在不斷下降。 [08:56.71]Mike Danner,an accountant in the office, [08:58.78]辦公室會計邁克·丹納看出了這一點， [09:00.84]could see this and he decided that he had to try and fix it. [09:03.37]認為他得努力解決這個問題。 [09:05.91]As he walked down the corridors of the cosmopolitan building where he worked, [09:08.64]當他走過他工作的國際性建筑的走廊的時候， [09:11.37]he knew that an argument with the president would be counterproductive. [09:14.04]他明白與總裁爭論會產(chǎn)生相反的結(jié)果。 [09:16.72]He had to find a way of counseling the president [09:18.94]他得想辦法勸告總裁： [09:21.16]that he needed distance from his counterpart in the local government. [09:23.98]他有必要與當?shù)卣械匚缓退鄬?yīng)的人保持距離。 [09:26.81]They were an odd couple,he and the mayor; corective measures were needed [09:30.34]總裁和市長是奇怪的一對，需要采取矯正措施。 [09:33.88]But Mike Danner [09:35.77]但邁克·丹納 [09:37.65]never thought that there would be any true corresponding crime. [09:40.17]從沒想過真的會有相關(guān)的犯罪。 [09:42.69]Counterfeit money was being produced in the back offices of the corporateparking lot [09:45.77]公司停車場后面的辦公室正在印偽鈔， [09:48.85]and shipped to the city council in corrugate boxes [09:51.37]并用起皺的紙箱運往市政委員會 [09:53.89]where the mayor would countersign their authenticity. [09:56.17]在那里市長要給它們辨明真?zhèn)巍? [09:58.44]The corpus of the council knew this. He was walking into the fire! [10:01.22]市政委員會所有人都知道這件事，他是在玩火! [10:04.00]The next day,when his body was found with his cortex pealed from his head [10:07.69]第二天，當?shù)ぜ{頭皮被剝掉的尸體被人發(fā)現(xiàn)的時候， [10:11.37]the press never thought to correlate his murder [10:13.64]新聞界根本就沒想到把他的被殺 [10:15.92]with a controversy surrounding the corporation and the city council. [10:18.65]和圍繞公司與市政委員會的爭議聯(lián)系到一起， [10:21.37]Instead they created a cosmetic motive [10:23.86]他們反倒編造了一個表面動機， [10:26.34]for a local drug dealer to be put in prison on false charges. [10:29.00]以莫須有的罪名把當?shù)氐囊粋€毒品販子關(guān)進了監(jiān)獄。 [10:31.67]The Chief of Police was involved in the counterfeit deal as well. [10:34.25]警察局長也卷入了偽鈔案中， [10:36.84]And he wasn't about to sacrifice the college money for his three kids [10:39.52]他可不會犧牲三個孩子上大學(xué)的學(xué)費。 [10:42.19]for some curious corporate office boy. [10:44.47]為了某個好奇的公司勤雜員。 [10:46.74]coupon-criterion Under a crescent moon [10:50.97]在新月下 [10:55.20]When the moon was crescent shaped people began to disappear.

[11:03.42]首先是一位深夜外出數(shù)贈貨券的老太太。 [11:06.36]Then it was a courier, [11:07.89]然后是一位導(dǎo)游， [11:09.41]crisscrossing town to make requested deadlines. [11:11.69]他在城里往返奔波，制定要求的截止日期。 [11:13.96]And finally it was a local craftsman, [11:16.55]最后是一個本地工匠， [11:19.13]whose remains were found next to a crack led to a mysterious crater. [11:22.61]他的遺體在通往一個神秘大坑的裂縫附近被人發(fā)現(xiàn)。 [11:26.08]It seemed that there was no criterion by which this criminal attacked. [11:29.66]罪犯作案好像沒有任何標準， [11:33.24]But the clean up crew was beginning to think that it was not a person, [11:36.36]但清除小組全體成員開始認為這個罪犯可能不是人， [11:39.48]but a creature. [11:40.92]而是某種動物。 [11:42.35]when the crisis became known throughout the small town, [11:44.73]整個小鎮(zhèn)都知道這一危機后， [11:47.11]all but the most courageous left to "visit relatives." [11:49.84]除了最勇敢的人以外，所有的人都離開小鎮(zhèn)"走親戚"去了。 [11:52.57]News coverage was intense,the local economy was crippled [11:55.90]新聞報道鋪天蓋地，地方經(jīng)濟嚴重受損， [11:59.23]and more than several young couples [12:01.36]有好幾對年輕人 [12:03.49]made a covenant to marry by the end of the week. [12:05.92]立約在周末成婚。 [12:08.35]The credentials of local police were also no longer good enough; [12:12.23]當?shù)鼐斓淖C件也不再管用， [12:16.10]the FBI was called in. [12:17.93]人們叫來聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局的人， [12:19.76]That was when the murders stopped. [12:21.59]到這時兇殺才停止發(fā)生。 [12:23.42]As the weeks went on [12:25.00]幾個星期過去了， [12:26.58]and reporters no longer cared about covering what was once a major story, [12:29.91]記者不再樂于報道這件曾經(jīng)轟動一時的大事， [12:33.24]people came crawling back to their homes. [12:35.27]人們也開始慢慢地打道回府。 [12:37.29]To the credit of many,nighttime activities began to become common again. [12:40.91]讓大家引以為榮的是，晚間活動又開始活躍起來， [12:44.53]Life seemed to be returning to normal. [12:46.50]生活似乎正在恢復(fù)正常。 [12:48.47]After a month had passed since the last murder had occurred,however, [12:51.45]可是，上次謀殺發(fā)生之后只過去了一個月、 [12:54.43]and the moon became a Crescent again, [12:56.56]又是一輪新月的時候， [12:58.68]the creature came creeping out of his hole. [13:00.87]怪獸又爬出洞了。 [13:03.05]When a man walking in a park bent down to fix a crease in his pants, [13:05.93]一個在公園散步的人彎腰撫平褲子上的皺痕， [13:08.82]he had no idea that the deaths were about to start all over again, [13:11.85]他不知道這時死亡又將降臨， [13:14.88]starting with his. [13:16.41]而且從他開始。 [13:17.94]critic-curative A culinary conversation [13:21.16]烹飪對話 [13:24.39]"This dish also has curative properties!" [13:26.82]"這道菜也有醫(yī)療作用!"

[13:57.79]我知道你正在參加一項揭示美食烹飪秘密的運動， [14:00.52]And you're quite cunning. [14:02.34]你太狡猾了。 [14:04.17]But this recipe is staying in my head. [14:06.20]但這個食譜在我腦子里， [14:08.22]You are one culprit who I know I can't trust. [14:11.00]我知道你是個惹事生非的人，我可不能相信你 [14:13.79]Oh,and don't forget to add this spice cube to the soup." [14:16.27]哦，別忘了把這個香料塊放進湯里。" [14:18.75]Replied Dr.Woolwin with a smile. [14:20.77]伍爾文博士笑著說。 [14:22.80]"But I have worked so hard on cultivating our relationship!" [14:25.32]可是我一直很努力培養(yǎng)我們之間的關(guān)系呀! [14:27.84]Can't you tell me what it is here? [14:29.76]你就不能告訴我這是什么東西嗎? [14:31.68]I thought we were at a crossroads and beyond all that worry about secrets, [14:34.66]我想我們正處于一個十字路口，不用擔(dān)心什么秘密啊、 [14:37.64]reports and all of that!Don't be so cumbersome!"

[15:03.16]"In the Hawaiian Islands,like I just said." [15:05.34]夏威夷群島，正如我剛才所說。 [15:07.52]But my trip culminated on Oahu Island, [15:10.05]但我的旅行在瓦胡島達到高潮， [15:12.59]so maybe you can go there if it is so crucial that you have the same crockery.
