„Such being the case I understood.” “既然如此我明白了。” Professor waved, making Jenkin not need to continue: 教授挥挥手,让詹金斯不用继续说下去: „I later will not participate to get together again, to be honest, I am close to that hospital each time , some strange feelings, will be that type the feeling that will be difficult to describe......” “我以后也不会再去参加聚会了,说实话,我每次接近那座医院,也会有非常奇怪的感觉,就是那种很难形容的感觉......” He to has not described finally. 他到最后也没有形容出来。 „Since there has such dangerous history, I think after me, again. Although was somewhat a pity, but the life is most important, this dangerous place few contacts for wonderful.” “既然那里有这么危险的历史,我想我以后也不会再去了。虽说有些可惜,但毕竟生命最重要,这种危险的地方还是少接触为妙。” The idea of Professor is generally same as Jenkin, although as the matter stands, will be few important purchase scarce goods and exchange information channel, but two people know that anything is most important. About reporting matter of Mr. Corpse illegal meeting, Professor also agrees. He lives for a lifetime here, has very deep sentiment to Nolan. Although the meeting of Mr. Corpse also provided many help, but he also understands that the opposite party probably is not the good person, otherwise does not need to hide there. 教授的想法大抵和詹金斯一样,虽说这样一来,就会少一个重要的购置稀缺物品和交换情报的渠道,但两人都知道什么才是最重要的。关于举报尸体先生非法聚会的事情,教授同样也是同意的。他一辈子都生活在这里,对诺兰有很深的感情。虽说尸体先生的聚会也提供了很多帮助,但他也明白对方大概也不是什么好人,否则没必要躲在那儿。 Since there is Professor, did not need Jenkin to go to the black market again entrusted additionally, Professor will look for the opportunity to report this matter in the near future. Does not need Jenkin to be worried as for the excuse, the life experience of Professor may be richer than him, this matter is only the minor matter. 既然有教授在,就不用詹金斯再去黑市进行额外的委托了,教授会在近期找机会将这件事情汇报上去。至于借口不用詹金斯担心,教授的人生经验可比他更加丰富,这种事情只是小事而已。 The Professor tonight's original plan, besides must attend the meeting, but must go to an old friend home to purchase some antiques. This is his personal collection uses, does not change professions to steal away of business with Old Man. 教授今晚的原计划,除了要去参加聚会以外,还要去一位老朋友家中购买些古董。这是他私人收藏用的,并非改行和老爹抢生意。 Because was worried that the time is insufficient, originally wants to look to examine merchandise, since now did not need Mr. Corpse to get together, had enough time to complete the purchase. 因为担心时间不够用,本来只是想去看看货而已,现在既然不用去尸体先生聚会了,就有充足的时间去完成收购。 „Must go together, Jenkin? Tonight also has other things?” “要一起去吗,詹金斯？今晚还有其他事情吗？” Professor asked. 教授问道。 Two people stand in the corner waiting of street wear the army uniform/subdue to line up row of serviceman walking past in big strides, Jenkin think, Hathaway and Blayney are enjoying the wonderful dinner probably, Dolores was Alexia enters a city, goes to the city public library to go, as for Chocolate, that cat had the maid to take care in the manor, the midnight snack of delicacy, did not need him to be worried. 两人站在街道的转角处等待穿着军队制服排成队列的军人们大踏步的走过,詹金斯想了想,海瑟薇和布莱妮大概在享受美妙的晚餐,多洛丽丝是和亚莉克希亚进城,去城市公共图书馆去了,至于巧克力,那只猫在庄园中有女仆服侍,还有美味的夜宵,根本不用他担心。 „I am all right tonight, but follows you to go to others home rashly, can some be not quite polite?” “我今晚没事,不过贸然跟着您去别人家,会不会有些不太礼貌？” He asked like this. 他这样问道。 „, This are not related, I said that you are my student, the name call...... your oneself to think one.” “哦,这没关系的,我就说你是我的学生,名字叫......你自己想一个吧。” Professor the old friend is he still when reading primary college the schoolmate, now has a marvelous occupation- librarian. That mister is the manager in Nolan city public library now, basically lives there. 教授的这位老朋友是他还在念初等公学时的同学,现在有个奇妙的职业-图书馆管理员。那位先生现在担任诺兰城市公共图书馆的管理员,基本上就住在那儿。 Said that is the city public library, but with is different to the followers free open the Sage church library, the former is the charge, moreover collects fees to anybody, the price is high. 说是城市公共图书馆,但和对信徒们免费开放的贤者教堂图书馆不同,前者是收费的,而且对任何人收费,价格还非常高昂。 Here charge is equivalent to „admission ticket”, if wants borrowing books or the copies, then need more disbursements. 这里的收费只是相当于“门票”,如果想要借书或者抄录副本,则需要更多的支出。 The library of this city ownership, can find in the major cities, although a regular day of few visitor, but also is the city must the public facilities, allocate funds to conduct the management, to restore and protect from the tax money alone, tax payment city resident can also have the library to be proud by the own city. 这种城市归属的图书馆,在各大城市都能找到,虽然经常性的一天都没有几个访客,但也是城市必须的公共设施,从税款中单独拨款进行管理、修缮和保护,纳税的市民们也都以自己的城市能够有图书馆而自豪。 Was discussing Professor old friend, Jenkin remembered some oneself also things to inquire. Professor to so-called „Month of Flowing Fire” some impressions, before that is very long , people are used to call June's name, but transformed afterward. 谈着教授的老朋友,詹金斯想起了自己也有事情询问。教授对所谓“流火之月”有些印象,那是很久之前人们用来称呼六月份的称呼,但后来就转变了。 „Why turns now 【Month of Starry Skies and the Everlasting Nights 】?” “为什么变成现在的【星空与长夜之月】？” Jenkin doubts to ask, walks along the street with Professor together. The street light makes very long, this that their shadows draw is a peaceful night. 詹金斯疑问道,和教授一起沿着街边行走。路灯让他们的影子拉的很长,这是个和平的夜晚。 „Has many views, but the mainstream view believes, this is only the transformation of folk customs, does not have the special meaning. What's wrong, what view do you have to this name?” “有很多说法,但主流的说法认为,这只是民俗的转变而已,没有特殊含义。怎么,你对这个称呼有什么看法吗？” In Professor and most person eyes, the transformation of month name is very normal. But regarding Jenkin, he has guessed the god and Ruler relations indistinctly, knows extant True God is not from the beginning is this quantity, therefore he thinks 【flowing fire】 Correspondence should be some have no longer held the post of of True God old god. 在教授和大多数人眼中,月份称呼的转变很正常。但对于詹金斯,他隐约猜测过神和主宰的关系,也知晓现存的正神并不是从一开始就是这个数量的,因此他认为【流火】对应的应该是某位已经不再担任正神之位的旧神。 What a pity Professor could not provide more clues, because never had portrait/people looks like Jenkin this „lese majeste” thinking. 可惜教授提供不了更多的线索,因为从来没有人像詹金斯这样“大不敬”的思索过。 „Arrived.” “到了。” The night library is certainly closed, therefore Professor brought Jenkin to find the back door from the lane. Knocked several on that leaf of heavy/thick wooden door, hears to have the sound of footsteps. 夜晚的图书馆当然是关门的,所以教授带着詹金斯从巷子中找到后门。在那扇厚重的木门上敲了好几下,才听到有脚步声。 Soon, is throwing over the coat, raised the oil lamp rickets the old person of back to open the door. The doorpost of that door for a long time did not have the stain removal and oil very much, opened sent out very gratingly „” sound, Jenkin also anxious looked at one to side, then remembered this is not the illegal activity. 不多时,一个披着大衣,提着油灯佝偻着后背的老人打开了门。那扇门的门轴很久没有除锈和浇油了,打开的时候发出了非常刺耳的“吱呀”声,詹金斯还紧张的向旁边看了一眼,然后才想起这不是什么非法的活动。 „Burns, you come also is really punctual, comes in quickly, this year's weather also is really strange, in April unexpectedly was so cold.” “伯恩斯,你来的还真是准时,快进来吧,今年的天气还真是怪,都四月份了居然还这么冷。” „Seaver, is your body is too weak, I have urged your many times, always do not sit, since were old, must take a walk.” “西弗,是你身体太弱,我劝过你很多次,不要总是坐着,既然年纪大了,就要多走动走动。” „Who said that I was old? I also over 60 years old.” “谁说我年纪大了？我也不过才六十多岁。” Two people hugged then to mention the words, in this period Professor also briefed the Jenkin studentship, but Mr. Seaver has not cared about him. 两人拥抱了一下然后便说起了话,期间教授也介绍了詹金斯的学生身份,但西弗老人并没有在意他。 The back door of library to backyard and warehouse, because protects from fire strictly and moisture-proof, the outward appearance repair of here wall is quite good, the steam conduit, the town gas pipe on and sewer pipe wall, seem like different from the next door building. 图书馆的后门通往后院和仓库,因为严格防火和防潮,这里的墙壁的外观装修相当不错,就连墙壁上的蒸汽管道、煤气管道和下水管道,看起来都与隔壁建筑物有所不同。 The old person lives in alone seeming like the library contrary building same house, the house is linking the wall of library tightly, after opening door, Jenkin saw that the two have a leaf of door to be connected. 老人独自住在像是图书馆违规建筑物一样的房子里,房子紧连着图书馆的墙壁,推开门后詹金斯才看到二者有一扇小门相连。 The floor space is big, warm dry, this is the library specially for the housing that the manager designs. 房间面积不小,温暖干燥,这是图书馆专门为管理员设计的住房。 The living room next to that one side of library wall is a big bookshelf, dense and numerous books bottom-up arranged three rows. 客厅紧挨着图书馆墙壁的那一侧是一个大书架,密密麻麻的书从上至下的排了三排。 On the tea table put a book of spreading out, in the book was clamping a pencil. Left side of the yellowing paper page is the dense and numerous letters, the schematic diagram of right side pencil picture, is used for the standard painting size faintly visible the ruled lines, this is present rare hand-written copy books. 茶几上放着一本摊开的书,书中夹了一根铅笔。泛黄的纸页左侧是密密麻麻的字母,右侧则有一副铅笔手画的草图,依稀可见用来标准画图尺寸的格线,这是一本现在少见的手抄本图书。 „First sits down, I take the thing that you want. Burns, has saying that your luck is very good, if writes to me again later, these books I could process give the antique store.” “先坐下,我去拿你要的东西。伯恩斯,不得不说你运气很好,如果再晚些给我写信,这些书我可能就要处理给古董店了。” As the librarian, is easier more and comfortable outside also some advantage besides the life. For example can read free, for example, when the library eliminates some book collections, can take the lead by low price purchase. 作为图书馆管理员,除了生活安逸一些以外还有的好处。比如可以免费看书,又比如当图书馆淘汰一些藏书的时候,可以率先以较低的价格收购。 Books that the library eliminates, generally is the values generally moreover damages quite seriously. In addition, every year also according to the past quantity purchased, from the warehouse neighborhood the books that came out some no one to read for a long time, decided the processing mode after the appraisal. 图书馆淘汰的图书,一般都是价值一般而且损毁较为严重的。除此之外,每年还会根据当年的采购量,从仓库里弄出来一些许久没人看的书籍,在鉴定后再决定处理方式。 The senior manager must sell to Professor is this kind of book, the specialized assessor who since the audit of city hall looks for had not discovered that their values, these they wander about destitute to understanding in the person hand of value are quite good. 老管理员要卖给教授的就是这类书,既然市政厅的审计找来的专业鉴定者也没有发现它们的价值,那些它们流落到懂得价值的人手中比较好。 This is also a part of income from moonlighting. 这也属于灰色收入的一部分。 As for selling the oneself holding „reason” , because manager Mr. Seaver must leave Nolan recently. He in the son of mainland another end work before the marriage, gave Seaver to make the new generation. The marriage wants, but Mr. Seaver is very old, after this time goes to the east coast to attend the wedding, then the decision accepts son's invitation, lives in them in the same place, does not return to Nolan. Therefore some books of being able to carry off, then the plan looks for appropriate person processing. 至于出售自己藏品的“原因”,是因为管理员西弗先生最近要离开诺兰。他在大陆另一端工作的儿子在结婚前,就给西弗家弄出来了新的一代。结婚是一定要的,而西弗先生年龄已经很大了,这次前往东海岸参加婚礼后,便决定接受儿子的邀请,和他们一家住在一起,再也不回诺兰。所以一些带不走的书,便打算找合适的人处理。 „A while ago we found in the side warehouse are used for the book of pad table foot, I do not remember storehouse when they enter, before wants to come is very long . In addition complied with your several, you select casually, price that reaches an agreement with the letter/believes.” “前段时间我们在侧面的仓库找到一些用来垫桌脚的书,我都不记得它们是什么时候入的库的,想来是很久以前。加上原本答应你的那几本,你随便挑,还是用信中商量好的价格。” Hears nearby room to broadcast such sound, Jenkin aware setting out helps move the book. The old person is impolite, points at the corner to bundle with the string and clamps fixed one pile of books with the metal, then told that he moves. 听到旁边的房间传来这样的声音,詹金斯自觉的起身帮忙搬书。老人也不客气,指着墙角用绳子捆起来并用金属夹固定的一摞书,便吩咐他搬出去。 These books are heavy, moreover there is to clash the stale taste of nose very much, what is accidental/surprised is damages the situation is very not serious. Attains a living room latter three people of notebook to open the bookstall, in turn inspection content and complete, then respectively classification. 这些书非常重,而且有股很冲鼻的霉味,但意外的是破损情况不算很严重。拿到客厅后三人一本本将书摊开,依次检查内容和完整度,然后分别归类。 Jenkin does not understand the book appraisal very much, because few people go to the Old Man antique store to sell the ancient book. But Professor understands this trade very much, flips through the book while spreads knowledge to Jenkin, looks like in another old person, pours really seems like in the instruct pupils. 詹金斯不是很懂图书鉴定,因为很少有人去老爹古董店卖古书。但教授很懂这门行当,一边翻书一边向詹金斯普及其中的知识,在另外一名老人看来,倒真的像是在教导学生。 The interests of Jenkin to these books was not big, reads a while then somewhat to feel bored. But Professor still inspects there carefully, the old librarian at the same time sees the matter that Jenkin has nothing to do, unexpectedly chatted the school life with him. 詹金斯对这些书的兴趣不大,翻看了一会儿便有些感到无聊。但教授还在那里仔细检查,一边的老图书管理员见詹金斯无事可做的事情,居然和他聊起了学校生活。 Zhan Jin has undergone the higher education, but Jenkin does not have. He regarding the institutions of higher learning life of this time, only limited to the speech and visit of limited number of times. But is good because of his archaeology professionalism is good, avoids the life trivia only to speak the appraisal experience, can deceive reluctantly. 詹金是经受过高等教育的,但詹金斯没有。他对于这个时代的高等院校生活,仅限于有限次数的演讲和参观。但好在他的考古学专业素养还不错,避开生活细节只讲鉴定经验,勉强还能糊弄过去。 Sees Jenkin to analyze the Slate print technology of ancient Xikari Empire period rationally, the senior manager seemed like remembered anything suddenly, making him wait a bit a while, entered the room in inside room again, soon, then holds the same place and books almost big or small Slate comes out. 见詹金斯头头是道地分析着古希卡利帝国时期的石板印刷技术,老管理员像是忽然想起了什么事情,让他稍等一会儿,再次进入里间的房间,不多时,便捧着一块和书本差不多大小的石板出来的。 „Might as well help me come to see this is anything. This was top level of last week Nolan post office collapses, people found in the wall of garret. Although seems like the title page of book, but after delivering to the library, we do not know that this is anything, therefore was then used 3 shillings to buy...... to hope that by me do not tell me, this is really the block has not the valuable stone of strange carving.” “不如帮我来看看这是什么。这是上周诺兰邮局顶层倒塌,人们在阁楼的墙壁里找到的。虽然看上去像是书的封面,但送到图书馆后,我们也不知道这是什么,所以便被我用三先令买下来了......希望你不要告诉我,这真的就是块有着奇怪雕刻的不值钱石头。” Taking then knows that this is solid, has a look at the thickness again, is almost same as the ordinary dictionary. Jenkin puts on the glove again, has taken Professor from side already the book that flips through, with this heavy/thick Slate pack in the same place, discovered that Slate even that 215 years ago hand-written copy «seaside Personally written letter» also wants to be smaller. 拿到手便知道这是实心的,再看看厚度,差不多和普通的字典一样。詹金斯再次将手套戴上,从旁边拿过一本教授已经翻完的书,和这块厚重的石板叠在一起,发现石板甚至要比那本215年前的手抄本《临海手札》还要小一些。
