Certainly, as I watched the Manx cat pause in the middle of the lawn as if it too questioned the universe, something seemed lacking, something seemed different.

当然，当我看着曼克斯猫停在草坪中央， 仿佛它也在质疑宇宙时， 似乎缺少了什么， 似乎有些不同。

And remembering the lunch party at Oxbridge, and the cigarette ash and the Manx cat and Tennyson and Christina Rossetti all in a bunch, it seemed possible that the impediment lay there.

还记得牛剑的午餐会，还有烟灰、马恩岛猫、丁尼生和克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂， 这些障碍似乎就在那里。
