At 10 p.m. the porch light did not turn off. At 11 p.m. his light remained on; to his neighbors it was a beacon[信号] flashing like a neon sign[霓虹灯] that said Somethings Wrong! 晚上十点,门廊的灯还没熄。十一点,他的灯还亮着;对邻居们而言,这就像霓虹灯闪烁着发出的信号:出事了!
At midnight one of the neighbors called the police. 午夜,一位邻居叫来了警察。
They found the inside of the house a shambles[混乱的局面]. His body lay on the floor, unmarked but for the dent[凹痕] in the top of his head where the base of the trophy[奖杯] had broken a hole in his skull[脑壳]. 他们发现屋子里一片混乱。他的尸体躺在地板上;虽然不易发现,他的头顶凹了一块,被奖杯的底座砸出了个窟窿。
The trophy was for Actuary[保险精算师] of the Year. It lay on the floor next to his body. Next to that lay a picture, framed, of him, looking rather sheepish[羞怯的], with a paper crown on his head and a bouquet[花束] of flowers on his arm, standing under a banner[横幅] which read, Man Most In Need Of A Change In Lifestyle. 这个奖杯是颁给年度最佳保险精算师的。它就躺在尸体旁边的地板上,奖杯旁边是一张带框的照片,上面的他看起来非常羞涩,头上顶着一个纸王冠,手上抱着一束花,站在一个横幅下,横幅上写着最需要改变生活方式的人。
