Her voice was wonderful, echoing through the crowded space — that deep, emotional, heart-stirring voice that had thrilled many a New York audience.
Poirot looked at his friend.
“You are a director of the company, M. Bouc,” he said. “What do you say?”
M. Bouc cleared his throat.
“In my opinion, M. Poirot (по-моему, мсье Пуаро; opinion — мнение),” he said, “the first theory you put forward was the correct one (первая версия, которую вы выдвинули, была верной; theory — теория; предположение, догадка, взгляд) — decidedly so (несомненно верной; decidedly — решительно, окончательно; бесспорно, несомненно). I suggest that that is the solution we offer to the Jugo-Slavian police when they arrive (я считаю, что именно это решение мы предложим югославской полиции, когда она прибудет). You agree, doctor (вы согласны, доктор)?”
“Certainly I agree (конечно, я согласен),” said Dr. Constantine. “As regards the medical evidence, (что же касается медицинского освидетельствования) I think— er — that I made one or two fantastic suggestions (я думаю, что я допустил несколько ошибок: «внес одно или два фантастических предположения»; fantastic — причудливый, фантастический, suggestion — предложение, совет).”
“Then (в таком случае),” said Poirot, “having placed my solution before you (изложив перед вами свое объяснение /этого преступления/), I have the honour to retire from the case (имею честь откланяться: «удалиться от этого дела»; to retire — удаляться, уходить)…”
