  十個小黑人童謠原文

  來自於 Mother Goose 鵝媽媽童謠,現在可能找不到了

  Ten Little Indians
  Septimus Winner/1868/from Mother Goose


  Ten little Indian boys went out to dine
  One choked his little self and then there were nine

  十個小黑人去吃晚餐,一個噎死了剩下九個

  Nine little Indian boys sat up very late
  One overslept himself and then there were eight

  九個小黑人熬夜很晚,一個睡過頭剩下八個

  Eight little Indian boys travelling in Devon
  One said he'd stay there and then there were seven
   八個小黑人到得文玩,一個留下來剩下七個

  Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks
  One chopped himself in halves and then there were six

  七個小黑人去砍木柴,一個劈兩半剩下六個

  Six little Indian boys playing with a hive
  A bumblebee stung one and then there were five

  六個小黑人在玩蜂窩,黃蜂叮一個剩下五個

  Five little Indian boys going in for law

  一個小黑人覺得孤單,他上吊後一個都不留

  童謠殺人的魅力,就在於天真與殘酷的雙重面向。書中的童謠,牽引著孤島殺人案,看過金田一的人,應該對這種手法很熟悉,不過這本書很經典的是,就如他的書名,一個都不留,就是全部的人都死光了,誰都不知道兇手是誰,並沒有名偵探來解開謎團,最後是透過一封兇手的自白書,而揭露兇手的犯案手法。

  據說這本「一個都不留」是阿嘉莎作品當中的極致,喜歡推理小說的朋友不得不看的經典之一,看完之後,對於犯人的犯案手法,最後的推理解謎邏輯,都不得不讓讀者恍然大悟,讚嘆不已,可說是超完美謀殺案,阿嘉莎對於島上十個人每個人的內心對白,心境的陳述,也是詮釋非常成功。


  昨天剛看完電影《嫌疑犯X的現身》,出自於日本東野圭吾的作品 - 偵探伽利略系列,老實說,我是被日劇的第一集騙進去的,不過還不錯看。

  當然看完電影版,更是讚不絕口,雖然伽利略系列是以物理學家湯川學教授以物理學的推理角度,找出犯案"手法"(如教授所說,他只是找出犯案手法,但找出犯人是警察的責任)而聞名,然而在這一片卻無任何的物理學推理,當然也看不到帥氣的湯川教授胡亂在某處寫著莫名其妙公式的情景,也看不到湯川教授和菜鳥警官內海之間奇特的粉紅色氣流,純粹只是兩個天才(物理學家和數學家),鬥智鬥力,卻又兩兩惺惺相惜,又如同白夜行裡,一件兇殺案的背後,都有著一件淒美的故事,在犯案的背後,對於人性的刻畫,深入且細膩,且在一開始就告訴大家誰是兇手了,嫌疑犯X為何作出獻身的舉動?這一點堤真桑真的演得太好了,最後的失聲痛哭,讓人鼻頭為之一酸。
