“是的，我明白，安娜。但是我必须和简说话。我必须听见她的声音，安娜。我怎么知道你还没杀她？”阿兰的声音在颤抖。

As Jane came down the stairs，she realized two things：she was covered in blood，and Anna wasn't there．
简到楼下时意识到两件事：她浑身是血；安娜不在那儿。
The house was very quiet，and all the rooms were empty. But I can't go out all covered in blood，she thought ．People will think I've killed someone．

She found a man's coat，put it on，and went out into the street ．I should call a policeman，she thought．But she could only see ordinary men，women and children．She saw an underground station and walked towards it.
她找到一件男式外套，穿上，出去走到街上。我该叫警察，她想。可她看到的都是普通男人、女人和孩子。她看到一个地铁站，就朝它走了过去。
She went into the station，found some money in the coat pocket, and bought a ticket．I must find my father，，he thought，and tell him that everything's all right．Then she looked behind her and saw a woman coming out of a telephone box．
她走进车站，从外套口袋里找到一些钱，买了一张车票。我必须找到爸爸，她想，告诉他一切都好。这时她向后看了一眼，看到一个女人正从电话亭里出来。
Oh my God，she thought，it's Anna！
噢，天啊，她想，是安娜！
Jane walked quickly away from the ticket office，down the escalator towards the platform and the trains．Halfway down the escalator she looked back up behind her；
简赶快离开售票处，上了朝站台和列车方向下行的滚梯。半路上，她回头往上边看了看。
