谁谋杀了总统.书虫.读书笔记
几百年前说人似书如命是贬义，现在看来则是褒义。
历史的流行潮流在几百年就会完全相反。
不像是血型，一直不会改变，年年夏天众多蚊子只宠你一人。

But some questions can be dangerous.
//eg. 你有停止殴打你的家人吗。
It is better not to know the answers.
//打破砂锅问到底，不能发扬在这里。
And dead men, of course, cannot ask, or answer, questions…
//人死不能开口，就像自然之道：明年今日，花又重开。阳光普照，积雪融化。树无皮死，叶落归根。冰风似刀，唇亡齿寒。
'An hour,' he thought. 'Sleep for an hour. Then go on. Go south. Hide in the day, and move at night. I can get there in five days, perhaps six.'
//逃亡时也不忘了冷静计划，小心行事。
the Chief said 'Sit down'. Then they sat down—but not before.
//强调then：警长先发话坐下，他们才可以坐。
//犬夜叉最讨厌的人。
The next morning Alex Dinon was forty kilometres south of the prison.
//一夜跑40km。
'Oh, you were hungry,' she laughed.
//强调 were：确实是…
'How did you escape from prison?' Marta asked suddenly.
//不仅是逃亡者的惊悚瞬间，也让读者吓一跳：原来是恐怖小说。
They stayed in the office and slept between telephone calls.
//警察睡在电话铃声中…
The police give her money, and she tells them all the secrets of the village. Everybody hates her!'
//告密者，举报者，背叛者，向来就不受欢迎。
'Huh!' Marta said angrily. 'I'm not afraid of the police or their questions. Alex Dinon? Who's he? Is he somebody on television?'
//可爱的老太婆.
Felix looked sadly at Marta.
//所有人都不帮助警察。
'Oh, I know that,' Marta said. 'The newspapers said that. But newspapers and the television never tell us the true story. Alex Dinon isn't a murderer. He's a nice young man.'
//大部分报纸，电视宁愿否认现实，也不愿面对真相。----乔治。
But I can tell you one thing. You can begin with the new President. He's got a murderer's face.'
//强调很多次 YOU，HE，就是不认为是逃亡者谋杀了总统。
The woman whispered to the boy, and the boy came up to Alex. 'There are two policemen in the street,' he said very quietly, 'and they're coming here.'
//都认出了逃亡者，都帮助了他。
'People never help the police in this country,' Adam said. 'People don't like us.'
//People 又不傻。
I think I know the answer. They want him dead. And I want to know why!'
//在警察体制内只有服从命令的份。记得飞虎队周星星说，特种作战队员怎么可能会被调取当交警，结果不还是扶着摩头车发呆。
'That's going to be difficult,' Adam said. 'Soldiers shoot first, and ask questions later.'
//服从命令的才是好士兵，想得多就不适合，就像我。
Felix sat down and looked at Eva Hine. 'A lot of people think...' He stopped. Then he began again. 'They say... Alex Dinon wasn't the President's murderer.'
//在这里学起来：当你说，“人们认为…”的时候，其实就是你也认为…当你说，"人们这样说… "的时候，却不一定是你说的。掩盖自己的意图，也要隐藏的深一些，不能像个小学生。
