And he was gone before a double-knock on the outer door had done ringing through the rooms, to return next minute with an open telegram and a face full of news.

他在敲外门的两次敲门声响彻整个房间之前就走了，下一分钟就回来了，带着一封打开的电报，脸上写满了新闻。

He was done; and there we stood on the landing of the lonely house, the low, thick, eager voice still racing and ringing through our ears; the dead man below, and in front of us his impenitent slayer.

他完成了；我们站在那栋孤零零的房子的平台上，那低沉、浑厚、急切的声音仍在我们耳边疾驰而过。下面的死人，以及在我们面前他不知悔改的凶手。
