Written Work P187
Write briefly on how Mr。 Budd came to suspect the customer。 简单写一下巴德先生是如何开始怀疑那个顾客的.
Bit by bit Mr。 Budd found the man met the description of the wanted man: he was large; he had an upper tooth filled with gold, and a damaged left thumb。 His hair was not silver—grey as was the wanted man’s。 But the man admitted that it had been grey before it was dyed, and he wanted to have another color。 Like the wanted man, he had a beard and he wanted Mr。 Budd to shave it off。 What’s more, he tried to hide his left hand after reading the newspaper that had the murderer's description on it。 When he quickly pulled his hand back, he looked up sharply at Mr. Budd. That look finally convinced the barber that his customer was the man wanted by the police。
渐渐的，巴德先生发现那个男人符合那个通缉犯的描述:他高大；他有一颗上牙镶了金,还有一个受损的左拇指。他的头发不是像通缉犯的银灰色。但是那人承认在染发之前曾经是灰色的，还有他要染成另外一种颜色。像通缉犯，他有一脸胡子还要巴德先生帮他刮掉。更重要的是，他在读了那份有谋杀犯描述的报纸后就试图隐藏他的左手。当他迅速缩回了手，他猛然抬头看了巴德先生。那一看最终使这个理发师确信了他的顾客就是被所要的通缉犯.
