秘女人阿加莎·克里斯蒂 WOMAN OF MYSTERY
内容简介
很多人都喜欢读神秘的谋杀案，因为它们都是些难解之谜。侦探在书末才会把凶手的名字公布于众，而在此之前我们能否猜出凶手的名字呢?摔坏的椅子只是一次意外，还是一条重要线索呢?凶手是如何进入房子的呢?他或她难道有钥匙吗?桌子上为何有三个咖啡杯?
阿加莎·克里斯蒂写的神秘谋杀案世界闻名。她一共写过70多本书，销售量达千万册。她的小说还被拍成了多部电视剧和电影。她笔下的侦探，赫尔克里·波洛和马普尔小姐，也都大名鼎鼎——一个是身材矮胖，留着黑色胡子的比利时人，一个是身材矮小却非常可爱的老太太，她会看见、听到并且记住一切。
这本书写的就是阿加莎·克里斯蒂的生活。她是怎样的一个人?我们对她的了解有多深?她富有，赫赫有名，有过两次婚姻。而在她的生活中也有一个未解之谜…

“小说里面肯定要有一桩谋杀案。”她想。她的脑子里萦绕着各种各样的问题，“但是什么样的谋杀案呢？施毒致死吗？谁会死呢？谁又会是凶手？时间？手段？动机？地点？再有一个侦探如何？”

’There must be a murder in it, of course,’ she thought. The questions ran busily around inside her head. ’But what kind of murder? A death by poisoning? Who will die? Who will the murderer be? When? How? Why? Where? And what about a detective?’

在托基住着一些因比利时发生战争逃到此地来的比利时人。和小镇上的其他人一样，克拉拉在这些比利时人到来的时候给予了他们热心的帮助。她给他们的家里送来椅子和床，尽量让他们感到开心和舒适。现在，阿加莎突然记起了他们。

There were some Belgian people living in Torquay, who were there because of the war in Belgium. Clara, like everyone in the town, was very kind and helpful to them when they arrived. She gave them chairs and beds for their homes, and tried to make them feel happy and comfortable. Now, Agatha suddenly remembered them.

“一个比利时侦探如何呢？”她想，并开始在那脑子里勾勒这个人物的形象，“他是一个聪明至极、穿着非常整洁的矮小男人。可是我该叫他什么好呢？知道了，我要叫他赫尔克里士！”她笑了笑，“给一个身材矮小的男人起这样的名字刚好。他的姓呢？波洛。赫尔克里士——不，赫尔克里·波洛！对，就是它了。”

’What about a Belgian detective?’ she thought, and began to build the character in her head. ’He’ll be a very clever, very tidy little man. But what shall I call him? I know, I’ll call him Hercules!’ She smiled. ’It’s a good name for a small man. And his second name? Poirot. Hercules—no, Hercule Poirot! Yes, that’s it.’

药房里只要一安静下来，阿加莎就构思她的侦探小说。现在她对毒药的药性已经了如指掌。她清楚哪些毒药发作很快，哪些又很慢，该用多少剂量，各种毒药的气味和味道又是怎样的。她知道人是怎样中毒身亡的——他们会不会脸色发青？他们会在睡梦中死去，还是在痛苦的尖叫声中死去呢？一名出色的侦探——以及一名出色的侦探小说家——必须熟知这些东西。她开始在家动手写故事了，用的依然是玛奇的旧打字机。

Agatha thought about her detective story during every quiet minute in the dispensary. She knew a lot about poisons now. She knew which poisons worked quickly, and which worked slowly. She knew how much to give, and what different poisons smelt and tasted like. She knew how people died from poisons—did their faces turn blue? Did they die in their sleep, or die screaming in pain? A good detective—and a good writer of detective stories—must know these things. She began to write her story at home, and used Madge’s old typewriter again.

达特穆尔是德文郡一片美丽却人迹罕至的荒野。阿加莎带着玛奇的打字机住在了海伊托尔的穆尔兰旅馆。这是个很大的旅馆，房间很多，却没有多少客人入住。在这儿的两个星期里，她每天上午都在房间里写作，下午则在荒野里独自散步很长时间。一切进展顺利。在她的脑子里，小说中的人物似乎都活了起来，她边散步边构思第二天的写作。

Dartmoor was a beautiful, lonely moor in Devon. Agatha took Madge’s typewriter with her and stayed at the Moorland Hotel at Hay Tor. It was a large hotel with a lot of rooms, but not many people were staying there. For two weeks she wrote in her room every morning, then went for long walks alone on the moor in the afternoons. Everything went well. The characters seemed to come alive inside her head, and during her walks she planned her writing for the next day.

在假期里她完成了小说后半部分的创作，并很快把它寄到一家出版社。他们把稿子退了回来，但阿加莎对退稿一点也不感到惊讶。她又把它寄了出去，但又被退了回来。她又把小说寄给另一家出版社，但也遭到了同样的厄运。后来她把小说寄给了博德利·黑德出版公司——便把这件事情抛在脑后了。

She finished the last half of the book during her holiday, and soon after she sent it to a publisher. They returned it, but Agatha was not surprised. She sent it out again, but it came back once more. She sent it to a third publisher, but they returned it, too. Then she sent it to The Bodley Head publishing company—and forgot all about it.

阿加莎兴奋得几乎听不下去了。她愿意做任何事情。《斯泰尔斯的神秘案件》是她的首部侦探小说，她想在书店里看到自己写的书。于是她重写了故事的结局，并改动了其他一两个微不足道的地方，最后约翰·莱恩满意地接受了。

Agatha was too excited to listen. She was happy to do anything. The Mysterious Affair at Styles was her first detective story, and she wanted to see it in the bookshops. So she wrote a different ending for it and changed one or two more small things, and at last John Lane was pleased with it.
