Tape-Measure Murder
《软尺谋杀案》
Tape-Measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr Spenlow is the murderer because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife's death. But after the police talk to Miss Marple, she finds out who the real murderer is.
《软尺谋杀案》是阿加莎·克里斯蒂写的短篇小说。在这个故事里，裁缝波利特小姐发现斯彭洛夫人死在了她在小村庄圣·玛丽·米德的家里。所有人包括警察都认为斯彭洛先生就是凶手，因为他在发现他太太的死亡后表现得太镇定太平静。但是在警察跟马尔普小姐说话之后，她发现了谁是真凶。
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery by noticing a tiny pin on a policeman's uniform. Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favourite character in the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policeman. I never thought that an old lady could be the heroine of a detective story!
故事最棒的部分就在马尔普小姐解释她是如何通过看到警察制服上的一个小别针而破解悬疑。她的解释非常清晰而且聪明。马尔普小姐是故事中我最喜欢的人物。我认为她非常特别，因为她虽然只是一个老妇人但是她却比警察还聪明。我从没想过一个老妇人会成为一个侦探故事的主人公！
Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising. You won't put it down until you come to the end!
你能猜到谁是凶手吗？读这本书找出答案吧！你会非常喜欢这个故事的，因为故事的结局太让人惊讶了。读到结尾之前你都不会把书放下！
