11945年冬天，我在布魯克林一座出租公寓里住了幾個月。這間公寓不算破舊，屋內(nèi)布置溫馨，房東和兩姐妹將房子保持得非常潔凈。

2瓊斯先生就住在我隔壁。我房間是整座公寓里最小，而他則是最大且陽光充分房間。瓊斯先生從不出門，他全部必需品、三餐、購物和洗衣等都由中年女房東幫他做。瓊斯先生也不乏訪客，天天從一大早到深夜平都有五六個各種各樣人出入他房間。這些訪客有男有女，有老有少，也有中年人。瓊斯先生既不是毒販也不是算命先生。不，都不是，他們來訪僅僅是跟瓊斯先生聊聊天，他們當(dāng)然要給瓊斯先生一點(diǎn)錢作為與之聊天并取得提議回饋。假如沒有這點(diǎn)收入，瓊斯先生顯然沒有經(jīng)濟(jì)起源了。參考譯文BACK

3我從未親自跟瓊斯先生聊過，以后我還經(jīng)常為此而感到遺憾。瓊斯先生長得英俊，四十歲上下。他身材高挑，黑頭發(fā)，長著一張輕易識別臉：消瘦臉龐，面色蒼白，高顴骨，左邊臉頰上長著一顆星形胎記。瓊斯先生戴著金邊墨鏡，據(jù)兩姐妹說他是個盲人，而且是個跛子。因?yàn)樗r(shí)候一次事故使得雙腿殘廢，從那之后沒有拐棍他哪也去不了。他總是身著深灰或藍(lán)色三件套西服和一條淺色領(lǐng)帶——好像馬上就要去華爾街上班一樣。參考譯文BACK

4然而，瓊斯先生從未離開過他住所。他通常只是呆在讓人感到愉快房間里，坐在舒適椅子上接待來訪者。我不知這些普通人為何來探望他，也不知他們在談些什么。我只是太專注于自己事情而無暇猜測這些問題答案。當(dāng)我真正有時(shí)間去想這個問題時(shí)，我猜測他朋友可能以為他是一個聰明而又善良人，一個當(dāng)自己碰到麻煩事時(shí)能夠保守秘密且能夠提供咨詢聽者：一個介于牧師與治療教授之間人。5瓊斯先生有一部電話，他是唯一有一條專用線路房客。通常是午夜之后或早晨剛六點(diǎn)時(shí)電話會響個不停。參考譯文BACK

6以后我搬到了曼哈頓區(qū)。幾個月之后，我回到原來房子去取存在那里一箱書。趁女房東們給我端上茶和點(diǎn)心空檔，我向她們探詢瓊斯先生情況。兩個人都低下了頭，其中一個清了清嗓子說：“交給警察處理了?！?/p>

7另一個說：“我們已經(jīng)報(bào)案說他失蹤了?！?/p>

8第一個說話人補(bǔ)充道：“上個月，二十六天前，我姐姐像往常一樣將瓊斯先生早餐送上樓，他不在房間里。全部東西都還在，人卻失蹤了?！?/p>

9“非常奇怪……”

10“一個完全失明人，一個無依無靠跛子……”

11十年過去了。參考譯文BACK

12這是一個嚴(yán)寒十二月下午，氣溫在零度左右。我在莫斯科地鐵里。除我之外車廂里只有寥寥幾名乘客。他們當(dāng)中有個男子坐在我對面。他腳穿長靴，身披厚厚長外套，戴著一頂俄羅斯樣式皮帽子。他眼睛明亮，孔雀藍(lán)普通。幾秒鐘疑惑之后，我一直盯著他，盡管他沒戴墨鏡，那張消瘦極易識別臉我是不會認(rèn)錯：高高顴骨以及那顆猩紅色星狀胎記。

13我剛要走過去跟他講話，這時(shí)，地鐵進(jìn)站了。瓊斯先生站起身來，邁開那相當(dāng)矯健有力雙腿，大踏步走出了地鐵車廂?？焖俚?，地鐵車門在他身后關(guān)上了。After-reading
