Since my brother s assassination in the streets of n ? mes , i had never entered the town ; the result was that the inn - keeper with whom we were connected , seeing that we would no longer come to him , was forced to come to us , and had established a branch to his inn , on the road from bellegarde to beaucaire , at the sign of the pont du gard 自从我的哥哥在尼姆街上被暗杀以后，我就再也没进过那个城市。结果是，那位和我们有联系的客栈老板看到我们不再到他那儿去了，就不得不来找我们，他在比里加答到布揆耳的路上开了一个分店，名叫杜加桥客栈。
The tavern - keeper s young son said it was kept locked all the time , and he never saw anybody go into it or come out of it except at night ; he did not know any particular reason for this state of things ; had had some little curiosity , but it was rather feeble ; had made the most of the mystery by entertaining himself with the idea that that room was " ha nted " ; had noticed that there was a light in there the night before 客栈老板那年青的儿子说，二号一直锁着，除了晚上，从来没有人进出，他也不知道为什么会这样，只觉得略有点好奇，以那房子“闹鬼”为由来满足自己的好奇心。他还曾注意到前天晚上，二号里有灯光。 “哈克，这就是我调查的结果。

And , as though to add to the daily misery which this prosperous canal inflicted on the unfortunate inn - keeper , whose utter ruin it was fast accomplishing , it was situated between the rhone from which it had its source and the post - road it had depleted , not a hundred steps from the inn , of which we have given a brief but faithful description 运河离这家被遗弃客栈不到一百步，关于这家客栈，我们已很简略但很忠实地描写过了，这位不幸的客栈老板本来已天天愁眉不展，快要全部破产了，现在又加上这条繁荣的运河的打击，自然更增加了他的愁苦。
