The Da Vinci code #1

Robert Langdon awoke slowly.

Robert Langdon慢慢的醒了過來。

A telephone was ringing in the darkness--a tinny, unfamiliar ring. He fumbled for the bedside lamp and turned it on. Squinting at his surroungdings he saw a plush Renaissance bedroom with Louis XVI furniture, hand-frescoed walls, and a colossal four-poster bed.

在黑暗中，細細的、不熟悉的電話鈐聲正在響著。摸索著床邊燈並將它打開之後，他瞇著眼環顧四周，發現自己身處於一個充滿路易十四風格家具，手繪壁畫以及大床的豪華文藝時期式房間。

Where the hell am I?

我到底在那裡?

The jacquard bathrobe hanging on his bedpost bore the monogram: HOTEL RITZ PARIS.

Slowly, the fog began to lift.

慢慢的，他想起他在那裡了。

Langdon picked up the receiver. "Hello?"

Langdon拿起了話筒回答。

"Monsieur Langdon?" a man's voice said. "I hope I have not awoken you?"

"Langdon先生"，一個男的聲音說了，"希望我沒有吵醒你。"

Dazed, Langdon looked at the bedside clock. It was 12:32 A.M. He had been asleep only an hour but he felt like the dead.

頭腦仍有點暈眩，他看了床邊的時鐘，當時是晚上12:32。他只睡了一個小時，但他覺得他睡的跟死人一樣。
