Well, sir, on my way, I heard something.
我以为是动物
I reckoned it was an animal.
听上去好像是快死了或是掉进了陷阱 所以我去帮忙了
It sounded like it was dying or caught in a trap, so I came to help.

我往这条路上跑 与弗莱学员擦肩而过 先生
I was running this way until I brushed Cadet Fry, sir.
-他看上去怎么样 -不太好 先生
How'd he look? -Not well, sir.

脖子…
The neck…
是我最先注意到的
That's what first struck me.
看到了吗
See?
绳索的痕迹很杂乱 绳子绑在他脖子上
Not a clean cinch at all. The rope grabbed at him
然后上下滑动 在找一个稳固的着力点
and ran up and down the neck looking for purchase.
好像…
As though…
好像他在…反抗
As though he was… fighting.
你可以看下他的手指
Look, if you would, at his fingers.
因为握紧绳子而磨出了新鲜水泡
Blistered fresh from clutching at the rope…
他曾试图把绳子拿掉
…trying to peel the thing off him.
我能问下这是怎么回事吗
May I ask what's going on here?
这太不合适了
This is, uh, quite irregular.
不知您是否介意摸一下 弗莱先生的后脑勺
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind feeling around the back of Mr. Fry's head.
是您给弗莱先生验尸的吧
You did examine Mr. Fry?
当然是我验的 这是我的工作
Of course I examined him, as is my job.
我们不是已经查看过了吗
Haven't we already been through this?
