A. 急需《东方快车杀人案》英文简介!谢谢!

Murder on the Orient Express is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in January 1934, in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company and later in the same year under the title of Murder in the Calais Coach. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence. The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

The book was first serialized in the US in the Saturday Evening Post, from July 1 to September 30, 1933.

Characters
The Victim:

Mr. Ratchett, an unsavory-looking man with a dark secret.
The thirteen suspects:

Hector McQueen, a tall, handsome, young American man, the victim's secretary and translator.
Edward Henry Masterman, the victim's British valet.
Pierre Michel, the French conctor of the Calais coach.
Mary Debenham, a tall, dark, young British woman, working as a governess in Baghdad.
Colonel Arbuthnot, a tall British army officer returning from India.
Princess Natalia Dragomiroff, an elderly and very ugly Russian grande dame.
Hildegarde Schmidt, a middle-aged German woman, the Princess' lady's maid. Poirot's stragedy in her questioning is a complete contrast of Debenham's. Poirot is kind and one of the questions comes in the form of a compliment.
Count Rudolf Andrenyi, a tall, dark Hungarian diplomat with English manner and clothing, travelling to France.
Countess Helena Andrenyi, née Goldenberg, his pale young wife.
Greta Ohlsson, a middle-aged blonde Swedish missionary returning home for a vacation.
Mrs. Caroline Martha Hubbard, a plump, elderly, very excitable American returning from a visit to her daughter, a teacher in Baghdad.
Antonio Foscarelli, a portly and exuberant Italian businessman.
Cyrus Hardman, a large and gregarious Texan typewriter ribbon salesman.
Other main characters (known to the reader to be uninvolved in the crime):

The Detective - Hercule Poirot
The Director - M. Bouc
The Doctor - Dr. Constantine

Plot details
Poirot boards the Orient Express, a train which is unusually crowded for the time of year. After having dinner and retiring to his bed, M. Ratchett is murdered.

Poirot finds several clues in the victim's cabin and on board the coach, suggesting that the murderer or murderers were somewhat sloppy. However, each clue seemingly points to different suspects. Poirot soon discovers that M. Ratchett was a notorious fugitive from U.S. justice named Cassetti. Some years earlier, Cassetti had kidnapped three-year-old heiress, Daisy Armstrong. Though the Armstrong family paid a large ransom for Daisy's release, Cassetti murdered the little girl regardless and fled the country with the money. Daisy's mother, Sonia Armstrong, was pregnant when she heard of Daisy's death. Her child died prematurely. She herself died as a result of the shock. Her husband, Col. Armstrong shot himself out of grief. Daisy's maid, Susanne, was suspected by the police, despite her hysterics. She threw herself out of the window and died.

One of the crucial clues is provided by Mary who happens to travel on the same train as Poirot on the way to the Orient Express. Mary is very worried about delay on this first train, but is unconcerned when the Orient Express itself is delayed. Poirot is able to conclude that there was a preplanned meeting on the Orient Express.

As the evidence mounts, it continues to point in wildly different directions. A critical piece of missing evidence — a scarlet kimono worn the night of the murder by an unknown woman briefly witnessed in the coach corridor by Poirot and others — turns up in Poirot's own luggage. Poirot discovers that some passengers had a connection to the victim, while others a connection to the Armstrong family. After meditating on the evidence for some time, Poirot assembles the thirteen suspects, plus M. Bouc and Dr. Constantine, in the restaurant car where he lays out two possible explanations of Ratchett's murder.

(The Armstrong case was based on the actual kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh's son.)

Denouement
In the first scenario, explains Poirot, a stranger entered the train ring the previous stop at Vincovci, murdered Ratchett for reasons unknown, and escaped unnoticed. The crime occurred an hour earlier than everyone believed owing to the victim and several others failing to note that the train had just crossed time zones. The other noises heard by Poirot on the coach that evening were unrelated to the murder.

In the second scenario, Poirot explains painstakingly, all of the suspects were guilty, as there was no other way the murder could have taken place under the evidence. Poirot reveals that the other passengers, most of whom were traveling under assumed names, were in fact members of the extended Armstrong family, or had a very close tie to the family or its servants. All had been gravely wounded by Daisy's murder. They took it into their own hands to serve as Cassetti's executioners to avenge a crime the law was unable to punish. Each of the suspects stabbed Ratchett once, so that no one could know who delivered the fatal blow. Twelve of the conspirators participated to allow for a "12-person jury", with only Countess Andrenyi not participating as she would have been the most likely suspect (as Daisy's aunt). One extra berth was booked under a fictitious name (the cabin next to Ratchett was already reserved for a director of the company) so no one other than the conspirators and the victim would be on the train that night. The unexpected stoppage in the snowbank, and the fact that the carriage company had allowed the famous Poirot to sleep in the cabin that had been reserved for the fictitious person, caused complications to the conspirators that resulted in several crucial clues being left behind. As Poirot reveals the details of the elaborate plot, many of the suspects (among them Daisy's aunt and grandmother) break down in tears.

Poirot agrees to let Dr. Constantine and M.Bouc decide which of his two theories is correct. After a brief pause, both state softly that the first explanation seems far the more plausible, and is the one they will give to the police when the freed train reaches the next station. The thirteen suspects are allowed to walk free, and the true circumstances of Ratchett's death presumably remain secret forever.

Literary significance and reception
The Times Literary Supplement of January 11, 1934 outlined the plot and concluded that "The little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end."

B. 如何评价 2017 版电影《东方快车谋杀案》

对原作的改动并没有达到进一步优化剧情的作用,也没有有新意到足以吸引老观众,只能算是一次不够忠实的复刻,其实是很令人失望的。

因为现实是《东方快车谋杀案》对于很多阿加莎粉丝来说算是自带光环的神作,如果改剧本改得不好真的还不如不改。

简介

对于受过英拆悉国正统戏剧训练的那些艺术工作者,阿加莎·克里斯蒂的作品一直是取之不尽的宝藏。她于1976年去世,但至今都拿御祥有数量众多的忠实读者,这些人亲切地称她为“阿婆”。

在吉尼斯世界纪录里,克里斯蒂女士是历消搏史上最畅销的作家,被公认为“侦探小说皇后”。其中《牧师公馆谋杀案》、《东方快车谋杀案》、《三幕悲剧》、《尼罗河上的惨案》、《阳光下的罪恶》、《无人生还》、《畸形屋》、《怪钟疑案》最为脍炙人口,保质期都很长。

C. 电影东方快车结局怎么样

结局就是列车上的所有人都是罪犯,强烈推荐看这个电影,有深度有思想。

《东方快车谋杀案》(Murder on the Orient Express)是英国作家阿加莎·克里斯蒂创作的侦探小说,属于侦探赫尔克里·波洛系列,由英国柯林斯犯罪俱乐部于1934年1月1日首次出版。想必大家对阿加莎不会陌生吧,啥,你陌生,来来《尼罗河上的惨案》听过没,这个神作家创作出来的作品各个都是神级。


看到这里是不是很矛盾,我也矛盾。所以,波洛的哭一点都不违和,波洛是维护法律的化身,但是在这里他纵容了另一群人的犯罪。

如果换做是你,一个有真情实感,无时无刻以为自己的信仰,崇拜它膜拜它,坚持法律的纯洁性,但是这件案子却动摇了你的信仰。你又会怎样!

所以,看到有人评价说这部电影很狗血,那是你的肤浅,实际生活中有很多的黑暗面,只不过我们处在一个相对安全的小圈子里,自认为安全而已,没有看到但不代表没有发生。我不支持列车上的人动用死刑,但是我不相信法律绝对单纯。

就像韩国电影《熔炉》的结局,男主放弃了之前坚持的信仰,妥协于生活。我们都是如此。
