她再次逼问道："你和祖父计划在今晚会面，你们打算谈些什么？"

1
-

Sophie wondered how long it would take Fache to figure out she had not left the building. Seeingthat Langdon was clearly overwhelmed, Sophie questioned whether she had done the right thing bycornering him here in the men’s room.

2
-

兰登摸不着头脑。"他的秘书安排了这次会面，但没有告诉我有什么特别的原因，我也没问。"索菲不接受这样的解释。这样的联系太牵强。祖父比任何人都了解异教圣像。再说，他是个注重隐私的人，不会随便找个美国教授就聊上天，除非有什么重要的原因。

2
-

What else was I supposed to do?

3
-

索菲深深地吸了一口气，进一步试探道："今天下午祖父打电话给我，说他和我的处境都极其危险。你知道这是什么意思吗？"

3
-

She pictured her grandfather’s body, naked and spread-eagle on the floor. There was a time whenhe had meant the world to her, yet tonight, Sophie was surprised to feel almost no sadness for theman. Jacques Saunière was a stranger to her now. Their relationship had evaporated in a singleinstant one March night when she was twenty-two. Ten years ago. Sophie had come home a fewdays early from graduate university in England and mistakenly witnessed her grandfather engagedin something Sophie was obviously not supposed to see. It was an image she barely could believeto this day.

4
-

兰登那双蔚蓝的眼睛笼罩上了一层忧虑。"我不知道，但从已经发生的事情看来……"

4
-

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes...

5
-

索菲点了点头。想到今晚发生的事情，她当然会很害怕。她绞尽脑汁，也不能理解今晚发生的一切。她向厕所尽头那扇装着小块平板玻璃的窗户走去，默默地透过嵌在玻璃中的警报网向外望去。他们离地面很远--至少有四十英尺。

5
-

Too ashamed and stunned to endure her grandfather’s pained attempts to explain, Sophieimmediately moved out on her own, taking money she had saved, and getting a small flat withsome roommates. She vowed never to speak to anyone about what she had seen. Her grandfathertried desperately to reach her, sending cards and letters, begging Sophie to meet him so he couldexplain. Explain how!? Sophie never responded except once—to forbid him ever to call her or tryto meet her in public. She was afraid his explanation would be more terrifying than the incidentitself.

6
-

她叹了口气，举目凝望窗外巴黎眩目的景色。左边，在赛纳河的对岸，耸立着灯光闪耀的埃菲尔铁塔；正前方，是凯旋门；右边，在蒙马特山丘的上方，可以看见圣心堂别致的圆形屋顶，那光滑的石头闪耀着白色的光芒，使整个建筑看上去像一座华丽的圣殿。

6
-

Incredibly, Saunière had never given up on her, and Sophie now possessed a decade’s worth ofcorrespondence unopened in a dresser drawer. To her grandfather’s credit, he had never oncedisobeyed her request and phoned her.

7
-

这里是德农馆的最西端。卡尔赛广场上南北向的交通干线与这里平行，它们与卢浮宫的外墙之间只隔着一条人行道。德农馆下方的街道上，夜间送货的卡车队停在那里，悠闲地等候着信号灯变色。那些闪亮的车灯似乎在用嘲弄的眼神冲索菲眨眼。

7
-

Until this afternoon.

8
-

"我不知道该说些什么。"兰登说着，走到她的身后。"很显然，你的祖父试图告诉我们些什么。很遗憾，我帮不上什么忙。"索菲从兰登低沉的声音中感觉到了他内心的遗憾。虽然他遇到了许多麻烦，但很显然，他希望助索菲一臂之力。索菲转过身来，想道：他果然具备教师的素养。索菲是从警署的嫌疑人调查记录中了解到他的基本情况的。他是尊重事实的学者。

8
-

"Sophie?" His voice had sounded startlingly old on her answering machine. "I have abided by yourwishes for so long... and it pains me to call, but I must speak to you. Something terrible hashappened."Standing in the kitchen of her Paris flat, Sophie felt a chill to hear him again after all these years.

9
-

我们有共同点，索菲想道。

9
-

His gentle voice brought back a flood of fond childhood memories.

10
-

作为一名密码破译员，索菲的工作就是从那些看似杂乱无章的数据中提取出含义。今晚，索菲所能做出的最好猜测就是兰登拥有她迫切想得到的信息，无论兰登本人是否意识到这一点。索菲公主，去找罗伯特。兰登。祖父所传达的信息非常明了。索菲需要更多与兰登共处的时间，需要思考问题的时间，需要与他一起破解这个谜团的时间。不幸的是，没有时间了。

10
-

"Sophie, please listen." He was speaking English to her, as he always did when she was a little girl.

11
-

索菲凝视着兰登，终于想出了个主意。"贝祖。法希随时都可能将你逮捕。我能帮你逃出博物馆。但我们必须现在就行动。"兰登吃惊地睁大眼睛："你想让我逃跑？"

11
-

Practice French at school. Practice English at home. "You cannot be mad forever. Have you notread the letters that I’ve sent all these years? Do you not yet understand?" He paused. "We mustspeak at once. Please grant your grandfather this one wish. Call me at the Louvre. Right away. Ibelieve you and I are in grave danger." Sophie stared at the answering machine. Danger? Whatwas he talking about?

12
-

"这是明智之举。如果现在法希逮捕了你，你就得在法国监狱呆上几个星期。与此同时，法国警署和美国大使馆会开始争论由哪个国家来审判你。但如果我们现在逃出去，设法逃到美国大使馆，美国政府就可以保护你的权利。与此同时，我们可以想办法证明你与这桩谋杀案无关。"兰登毫不动摇。"算了吧！法希在每个出口都布下了警卫！就算我们不被打死，逃了出去，这也只会更让人觉得我是有罪的。你应该告诉法希，地上的信息是为你而留的，你祖父写下我的名字并不是为了告发我。""我会这样做。"索菲急切地说。"不过那要等你安全地进入美国使馆。使馆距这里只有一英里，我的车就停在博物馆外面。在这里与法希周旋几乎没有胜算。你没看到吗？法希将找出你的罪证作为今晚的任务。他之所以推迟逮捕，是想观察你的行为，希望你的某些言行能让他的指控更有力。""不错。就比如说逃跑！"

12
-

"Princess..." Her grandfather’s voice cracked with an emotion Sophie could not place. "I know I’vekept things from you, and I know it has cost me your love. But it was for your own safety. Nowyou must know the truth. Please, I must tell you the truth about your family."Sophie suddenly could hear her own heart. My family? Sophie’s parents had died when she wasonly four. Their car went off a bridge into fast-moving water. Her grandmother and youngerbrother had also been in the car, and Sophie’s entire family had been erased in an instant. She had abox of newspaper clippings to confirm it.

13
-

索菲毛衣口袋里的手机突然响了起来。可能是法希。她把手伸进口袋，关掉了手机。

13
-

His words had sent an unexpected surge of longing through her bones. My family! In that fleetinginstant, Sophie saw images from the dream that had awoken her countless times when she was alittle girl: My family is alive! They are coming home! But, as in her dream, the pictures evaporatedinto oblivion.

14
-

"兰登先生。"她急切地说。"我问你最后一个问题。它将决定你的整个未来。地板上的文字显然不是你的罪证，但法希已经宣称你就是他要抓的人。你能找出他为你定罪的理由吗？"

14
-

Your family is dead, Sophie. They are not coming home.

15
-

兰登沉默了片刻，说道："不能。"

15
-

"Sophie..." her grandfather said on the machine. "I have been waiting for years to tell you. Waitingfor the right moment, but now time has run out. Call me at the Louvre. As soon as you get this. I’llwait here all night. I fear we both may be in danger. There’s so much you need to know."The message ended.

16
-

索菲叹了口气，显然法希故意说谎。索菲无法想象这是为什么，但这不是眼前的问题。事实就是贝祖。法希决定不惜一切代价，要在今晚将兰登投入大牢。

16
-

In the silence, Sophie stood trembling for what felt like minutes. As she considered hergrandfather’s message, only one possibility made sense, and his true intent dawned.

17
-

但是，索菲需要兰登。这样的两难境遇使索菲得出了一个结论：我得让兰登去美国大使馆。

17
-

It was bait.

18
-

索菲转向窗户，透过平板玻璃中镶嵌的警报网，从令人晕眩的四十英尺高处俯视马路。要是兰登从这么高的地方跳下去，至少也会摔断腿。

18
-

Obviously, her grandfather wanted desperately to see her. He was trying anything. Her disgust forthe man deepened. Sophie wondered if maybe he had fallen terminally ill and had decided toattempt any ploy he could think of to get Sophie to visit him one last time. If so, he had chosenwisely.

19
-

但不管怎样，索菲已经做了决定。

19
-

My family.

20
-

无论兰登是否情愿，他必须逃出卢浮宫。

20
-

Now, standing in the darkness of the Louvre men’s room, Sophie could hear the echoes of thisafternoon’s phone message. Sophie, we both may be in danger. Call me.

21
-

"你说她不接听是什么意思？"法希看上去并不相信。"你打的是她的手机，没错吧？我知道她带着呢。"科莱已经打了好几分钟电话，试图找到索菲。"可能手机没电了，或者是她把铃声关了。"

21
-

She had not called him. Nor had she planned to. Now, however, her skepticism had been deeplychallenged. Her grandfather lay murdered inside his own museum. And he had written a code onthe floor.

22
-

接到密码破译部门局长的电话后，法希就一直忧心忡忡。挂上电话，他大步走到科莱跟前，要他打电话找到奈芙警官。现在，科莱没有打通电话，法希急得像头困兽，在屋里踱来踱去。

22
-

A code for her. Of this, she was certain.

23
-

"密码破译部门说什么？"科莱冒失地问。

23
-

Despite not understanding the meaning of his message, Sophie was certain its cryptic nature wasadditional proof that the words were intended for her. Sophie’s passion and aptitude forcryptography were a product of growing up with Jacques Saunière—a fanatic himself for codes,word games, and puzzles. How many Sundays did we spend doing the cryptograms and crosswordsin the newspaper?

24
-

法希转过身来："告诉我们他们没有找到‘严酷的魔王’和‘瘸腿的圣徒’的出处。"

24
-

At the age of twelve, Sophie could finish the Le Monde crossword without any help, and hergrandfather graduated her to crosswords in English, mathematical puzzles, and substitution ciphers.

25
-

"就讲了这些？"

25
-

Sophie devoured them all. Eventually she turned her passion into a profession by becoming acodebreaker for the Judicial Police.

26
-

"不，还告诉我们他们刚刚确认那串数字是斐波那契数列，但他们怀疑那串数字并无含义。"科莱迷惑了。"但他们已经派奈芙警官来告诉过我们了。"

26
-

Tonight, the cryptographer in Sophie was forced to respect the efficiency with which hergrandfather had used a simple code to unite two total strangers—Sophie Neveu and RobertLangdon.

27
-

法希摇了摇头："他们没有派奈芙警官来。"

27
-

The question was why?

28
-

"什么？"

28
-

Unfortunately, from the bewildered look in Langdon’s eyes, Sophie sensed the American had nomore idea than she did why her grandfather had thrown them together.

29
-

"局长说，接到我的命令后，他叫来全队的人看我电传过去的图片。奈芙警官赶来后，看了一眼索尼埃和密码的照片，就一言不发地离开了办公室。局长说，他没有对奈芙的行为产生疑问，因为她的不安情绪是可以理解的。""不安？她没有看过死者的照片吗？"

29
-

She pressed again. "You and my grandfather had planned to meet tonight. What about?"Langdon looked truly perplexed. "His secretary set the meeting and didn’t offer any specific reason,and I didn’t ask. I assumed he’d heard I would be lecturing on the pagan iconography of Frenchcathedrals, was interested in the topic, and thought it would be fun to meet for drinks after thetalk."Sophie didn’t buy it. The connection was flimsy. Her grandfather knew more about paganiconography than anyone else on earth. Moreover, he an exceptionally private man, not someoneprone to chatting with random American professors unless there were an important reason.

30
-

法希沉默了片刻。"众所周知，索菲。奈芙是雅克。索尼埃的孙女。我原来并没有意识到这一点，局长也是在一名同事的提醒下才想起来的。"科莱无言。

30
-

Sophie took a deep breath and probed further. "My grandfather called me this afternoon and toldme he and I were in grave danger. Does that mean anything to you?"Langdon’s blue eyes now clouded with concern. "No, but considering what just happened..."Sophie nodded. Considering tonight’s events, she would be a fool not to be frightened. Feelingdrained, she walked to the small plate-glass window at the far end of the bathroom and gazed out insilence through the mesh of alarm tape embedded in the glass. They were high up—forty feet atleast.

31
-

"局长说，奈芙从来没有向他提起过索尼埃，这可能是因为她不想因为有这样一位有名的祖父而受到优待。"无疑，她为那张照片感到不安。让一个年青女子去破解死去的家人所留下的密码-科莱简直无法相信还有这样不幸的巧合。而且，她的行为也不合常理。"但她显然认出了那串数字是费波那契数列，因为她这样告诉过我们。但我不明白她为什么默默地离开办公室，而不把她的发现告诉任何人。"科莱想，这件怪事只有一种解释：萨尼尔在地板上写下一串数字密码以期让密码破译员也参与到案件的调查中来，这样他的孙女也自然有机会参与其中。其余的信息，萨尼尔是否会通过某种特殊的方式与其孙女交流？如果是这样，萨尼尔要告诉她些什么呢？兰登又是如何被卷入的呢？

31
-

Sighing, she raised her eyes and gazed out at Paris’s dazzling landscape. On her left, across theSeine, the illuminated Eiffel Tower. Straight ahead, the Arc de Triomphe. And to the right, highatop the sloping rise of Montmartre, the graceful arabesque dome of Sacré-Coeur, its polishedstone glowing white like a resplendent sanctuary.

32
-

科莱还没来得及深思，一阵警报打破了博物馆的沉寂。警报声听上去是从艺术大画廊中传来的。

32
-

Here at the westernmost tip of the Denon Wing, the north-south thoroughfare of Place du Carrouselran almost flush with the building with only a narrow sidewalk separating it from the Louvre’souter wall. Far below, the usual caravan of the city’s nighttime delivery trucks sat idling, waitingfor the signals to change, their running lights seeming to twinkle mockingly up at Sophie.

33
-

"警报！"一名警官看着卢浮宫安全中心的反馈信息，叫道。"艺术大画廊！男厕所！"

33
-

"I don’t know what to say," Langdon said, coming up behind her. "Your grandfather is obviouslytrying to tell us something. I’m sorry I’m so little help."Sophie turned from the window, sensing a sincere regret in Langdon’s deep voice. Even with all thetrouble around him, he obviously wanted to help her. The teacher in him, she thought, having readDCPJ’s workup on their suspect. This was an academic who clearly despised not understanding.

34
-

法希迅速转向科莱，问道："兰登在哪里？"

34
-

We have that in common, she thought.

35
-

"还在男厕所！"科莱指着电脑屏幕上闪烁的小红点说道。"他一定打破了窗户玻璃！"科莱知道兰登不会走远。虽然，巴黎消防法规规定公共建筑离地十五米以上的窗户要安装可以打破的玻璃，以备火灾时人们逃生之用，但如果不借助钩子或梯子，从卢浮宫二楼的窗户跳出去则无异于自杀。再说，德农馆最西端的下方既没有树也没有草可以起缓冲作用。

35
-

As a codebreaker, Sophie made her living extracting meaning from seemingly senseless data.

36
-

厕所的下方，距卢浮宫外墙几米远，就是两车道的卡尔赛广场。"我的天哪！"科莱看着屏幕叫道："兰登在向窗沿移动！"

36
-

Tonight, her best guess was that Robert Langdon, whether he knew it or not, possessed informationthat she desperately needed. Princesse Sophie, Find Robert Langdon. How much clearer could hergrandfather’s message be? Sophie needed more time with Langdon. Time to think. Time to sort outthis mystery together. Unfortunately, time was running out.

37
-

这时，法希已经开始行动了。他从肩上的枪套里抽出马努汉MR93 左轮手枪，冲出了办公室。

37
-

Gazing up at Langdon, Sophie made the only play she could think of. "Bezu Fache will be takingyou into custody at any minute. I can get you out of this museum. But we need to act now."Langdon’s eyes went wide. "You want me to run?""It’s the smartest thing you could do. If you let Fache take you into custody now, you’ll spendweeks in a French jail while DCPJ and the U.S. Embassy fight over which courts try your case. Butif we get you out of here, and make it to your embassy, then your government will protect yourrights while you and I prove you had nothing to do with this murder."Langdon looked not even vaguely convinced. "Forget it! Fache has armed guards on every singleexit! Even if we escape without being shot, running away only makes me look guilty. You need totell Fache that the message on the floor was for you, and that my name is not there as anaccusation.""I will do that," Sophie said, speaking hurriedly, "but after you’re safely inside the U.S. Embassy.

38
-

科莱仍大惑不解地盯着屏幕。小红点移动到了窗户的边缘，然后出人意料地移出了建筑的边界。

38
-

It’s only about a mile from here, and my car is parked just outside the museum. Dealing with Fachefrom here is too much of a gamble. Don’t you see? Fache has made it his mission tonight to proveyou are guilty. The only reason he postponed your arrest was to run this observance in hopes youdid something that made his case stronger.""Exactly. Like running!"The cell phone in Sophie’s sweater pocket suddenly began ringing. Fache probably. She reached inher sweater and turned off the phone.

39
-

将会发生什么？他感到很惊奇。兰登是站到了窗沿上还是-"我的天！"看着小红点迅速远离了建筑物边界，科莱吃惊得跳了起来。信号抖动了一阵，忽然停在了距建筑物约十码远的地方。

39
-

"Mr. Langdon," she said hurriedly, "I need to ask you one last question." And your entire futuremay depend on it. "The writing on the floor is obviously not proof of your guilt, and yet Fache toldour team he is certain you are his man. Can you think of any other reason he might be convincedyou’re guilty?"Langdon was silent for several seconds. "None whatsoever."Sophie sighed. Which means Fache is lying. Why, Sophie could not begin to imagine, but that washardly the issue at this point. The fact remained that Bezu Fache was determined to put RobertLangdon behind bars tonight, at any cost. Sophie needed Langdon for herself, and it was thisdilemma that left Sophie only one logical conclusion.

40
-

科莱手忙脚乱地操作着电脑，调出了一幅巴黎街区地图，又重新调整了一下"全球定位系统"。这样，只要把画面拉近放大，他就可以看到信号所在的确切地点。

40
-

I need to get Langdon to the U.S. Embassy.

41

小红点不动了。
