Following him down the corridor of the gloomy French hotel where Ausable had a room , Fowler felt disappointed .

跟着他走在这个法国小旅馆昏暗的走廊上，方罗感到很失望。
奥斯鲍的房间在六楼，很狭小，一个浪漫的角色不应该是这样的背景。
Ausable was , for one thing , fat . Very fat . And then there was his accent . Though he spoke French and German passably , he had never altogether lost the New England accent he had brought to Paris from Boston twenty years ago .首先，奥斯鲍很肥，非常肥，讲话还带有浓重的口音。
他的法语和德语还说的过去，但二十年前从波斯顿带到巴黎的新英格兰口音还没舍得丢。
"You are disappointed ," Ausable said wheezily over his shoulder . "You were told that I was a secret agent , a spy , dealing in espionage and danger . You wished yo meet me because you are a writer , young and romantic . You thought you would have mysterious figures in the night , the crack of pistols , drugs in the wine .""你很失望吧，”奥斯鲍边走边气喘吁吁的说。
