福尔摩斯：基本演绎法 第一季第10集 The Leviathan（18）

这看起来像是打印机在测试

That looks like something your printer

能否正常工作时打出来的内容

spits out when it's trying to test to see if it works.

它看着像是一推乱码

It looks like sheer nonsense.

这正是它应该看上去的样子

That's what it is supposed to look like.

但实际上它是一种叫做"玛尔博吉"的编程语言

It's a programming language called "Malbolge."

它被设计得十分难理解

It was designed to be impenetrable.

这个语言的发明者以但丁的

The language's creator named it after the eighth circle of hell

第八层地狱为它命名

in Dante's Inferno¹.

当今世界上只有很少一部分人

Now, there are few people in the world

能认出玛尔博吉

who can even recognize Malbolge

而不是把它当成乱码

as anything other than gibberish.

而能用它写软件的人更是

Fewer still who can write software

少之又少

using it.

我从在伦敦时的一个顾问那

I learned about the language

知道了这种语言

from a consultant² I used in London.

她应该很快就能帮我们翻译完这段语言

She should be able to get us a translation soon.

重点是这是一段信息

The important thing is it's a message.

整场审讯它都藏在我们眼皮底下

It was hidden in plain sight throughout the trial.

你觉得陪审团里有人认出它了

Do you think someone from the jury recognized it

不然他们为什么一遍又一遍的

Why else would they ask to see a coffee order

看一份咖啡单

again and again, hmm

在这 贾斯丁·格思里

Here you are. Justin Guthrie.

审讯期间为无业

Unemployed³ at the time of the trial,

但显示他之前的职业是

but listed his previous occupation

"软件工程师"

as "Software engineer."

我们要不要去看看他是否熟悉玛尔博吉

Shall we see if he's familiar with Malbolge

如果这个格思里表示他不知道

So what do we do if this guy Guthrie says

你说的是什么怎么办

he doesn't know what you're talking about

我们可以先看看

We can start by seeing

他身边有没有钻石

if he's got any diamonds lying around.

原来如此

That's it.
