本特先生显然忘记了,特拉法加广场是单行道,如果他没有忘记这一事实的话,那么威尔逊先生的尸体就会晚发现5分钟。它也可能在半英里外才被发现。晚5分钟或多半英里,对一个凶手来讲,当然是非常有用的,尤其是在伦敦这样的地方。事情是这样的。 Apparently Mr. Bent forgot to remember that Trafalgar Square was a one-way street, and if he did not forget that fact, Mr. Wilson’s body would be found for five minutes late. It may also be found only half a mile away. Five minutes or more than half a mile late is, of course, very useful to a murderer, especially in places like London. This is the case.
