A perfect alibi
极好的不在犯罪现场的证据
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What was wrong with the man s story?
At the time the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o clock train to London, said the man.
“在凶杀发生的时候，我正坐在8点钟开往伦敦的火车上。”那人说。
Do you always catch such an early train? asked the inspector.
“您总是赶这样早的火车？”探长问。
Of course I do, answered the man. I must be at work at 10 o clock. My employer will confirm that I was there on time.
“当然是的，”那人回答。“我必须在10点钟上班，我的雇主会证明我是按时到了那儿的。”
Would a later train get you to work on time? asked the inspector.
“晚一点儿的车也能送您按时上班吗？”
I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.
“我认为可以，但我从来不乘晚一点儿的车。”
At what time did you arrive at the station?
“您几点钟到的火车站？”
At ten to eight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.
“7点50分。我买了张报纸，等着车来。”
And you didn t notice anything unusual?
“您没有注意到有什么异常情况发生吗？”
Of course not. ^“当然没有。”
I suggest, said the inspector,
“我提醒您，”探长说，
that you are not telling the truth.
“您讲的不是实话。
I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o clock train, but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time.
您乘的不是8点钟的火车，而是8点25分的，这次车同样能使您按时上班。
You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o clock train did not run at all.
您看，在凶杀发生的那天早晨，8点钟的那次车根本没有发。
It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.
它在芬格林车站出了故障而被取消了。”
