Nick had dinner in the hotel that evening. He finished eating and got up from his table ... and saw the man with white hair.
那天晚上尼克在酒店吃晚餐。吃完饭后他从餐桌旁站起身来……看到了那个白发男子。
Nick moved quickly. The man was at the hotel desk. Nick could see the white head above the other heads near the desk.
尼克赶紧走了过去。那个男人站在酒店的前台旁边。尼克能看到那个高出人丛的白色脑袋。
'Excuse me!' said Nick. He pushed past the people in the hotel restaurant. A small boy ran in front of him and Nick ran into him. The boy and Nick fell down on the floor. The boy began to cry.
“对不起，请让一下！”尼克说道。他推开酒店餐厅里的人群。一个小男孩儿挡住了他的去路，尼克撞到了他。男孩儿和尼克都摔倒在地上。男孩儿哭了起来。
'Hey!' said a woman behind Nick.
“嗨！”尼克身后的一个女人喊道。
'I'm very sorry!' said Nick. He got up and helped the boy to his feet. 'Are you OK?' he asked the boy.
“非常抱歉！”尼克说道。他站起来，把那个小男孩儿也扶了起来。“你没事吧？”他问男孩儿。
'Be more careful next time,' said the woman.
“下回小心点儿。”女人说道。
Nick moved away quickly, but when he looked back at the hotel desk, he couldn't see the man with white hair. He pushed through the crowd of people.
尼克赶紧走开，可当他回过头往前台那边看时，那个白发男子却不见了。他冲出了人群。
'That man!' he shouted at the woman behind the desk. 'That man with short white hair. Where did he go?'
“就是那个男的！”他朝前台的那个女人喊道，“那个留着白色短发的男人。他去哪儿了？”
The woman looked at Nick. 'Mr Vickers?' she said. 'I don't know.'
女人看了尼克一眼。“维克斯先生？”她说道，“我不知道。”
'Vickers? Is that his name?' said Nick. 'What's his room number?'
“维克斯？他叫维克斯吗？”尼克问道，“他住在哪个房间？”
'I'm sorry, I can't tell you that,' the woman said.
“对不起，这个我不能告诉你。”女人说道。
'But I need to-' began Nick.
“但是我需要——”尼克恳求道。
The woman turned away to answer the telephone.

After a second or two, Nick went upstairs to his room.

'Vickers,' he thought. 'Does Meg Hutson know Mr Vickers? I need some answers, and I need them quickly!'
