不会想到墨西哥和黑贫民窟在古老的城际轨以南阴暗的公寓里延伸开来。

A wedge of sunlight slipped over the edge of the desk and fell noiselessly to the carpet. Traffic lights bong-bonged outside on the boulevard, interurban cars pounded by, a typewriter clacked monotonously in the lawyer's office beyond the party wall.

一楔形的阳光从桌边滑过，无声地落在地毯上。外面林荫大上的红绿灯砰砰作响，城际间的汽车地驶过，派对墙外的律师办公室里打字机发出单调的咔嗒声。
