No! Germont shouted. Get to the point, Dupin!

“不记得！”G先生大喊道。“快说重点，迪潘！”

Dupin took the pipe out of his mouth. Perhaps the mystery is too simple, he said.

迪潘将烟斗从嘴里抽出来。“或许这个谜团并不复杂。”他说。

I came to ask your advice, Germont said to my friend Dupin.

“我来向你讨点点子，”G先生对我那朋友迪潘说道。

Dupin! I said, as I turned to my friend. How did you solve the mystery?

“迪潘！”我转向我的朋友，问道：“你是如何解开这个谜的？”

" No doubt you think that you are complimenting me in comparing me to Dupin, " he observed.

你一定以为把我和杜班相提并论就是称赞我了。

This is the third of three stories he wrote about Auguste Dupin and how he solves crimes.

这是他以虚构的奥古斯特·迪潘为主人公所著的三部侦探故事的第三部，该系列作品描述了奥古斯特·迪潘的断案经过。

Dupin smiled at Germont. How much money did you say the reward was? he asked.

迪潘对G先生笑了笑。那你说奖金是多少？”他问。

Dupin puffed on his pipe again. I advise you to go back and search the apartment again, he said.

迪潘又抽了口烟斗。“我建议你回去，再次搜查整栋房屋。”他说。

Germont looked embarrassed. Look here, Dupin. I am perfectly willing to pay for advice.

G先生看上去一脸尴尬。“看这，迪潘。我当然愿意征求建议，而且为此支付费用。”

Germont looked at Dupin with his mouth open. His eyes seemed to jump out of his head.

G先生看着迪潘，惊得目瞪口呆，眼珠好像要从眼窝里跳出来。

Then he took out his checkbook and pen, and wrote a check for fifty thousand francs. He gave it to Dupin.

然后，他拿出支票和笔，填写了一张面额为五万法郎的支票，递给迪潘。

One evening in Paris, during the autumn of eighteen forty-five, I went to visit a friend, Auguste Dupin.

1845年的巴黎，在一个秋风萧瑟的傍晚，我拜访了朋友奥古斯特·迪潘。

But, Dupin, I said, why did you go to the trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave?

“但是，迪潘，”我说：“你又何必费力去置换那信，干嘛不拿了就走？”

The police have never run up against something like this before so it requires the brains of a super-sleuth to solve it –enter the smart private detective Dupin.

警方以前从未遇到过这种案件，他们需要超级侦探的大脑来破案——机制的的私人侦探杜宾出场了。
