Day Three, Practically Four
Can't go on like this. Daylight is harsh when there's no sleep.
不能在這樣繼續下去了。這幾天都沒睡，連白天的太陽都讓我覺的刺眼。
Saw Lady Diogenes with her lamp in broad daylight. I forget her real name. Got it written somewhere.
在大白天看到那個拿著燈的提奧奇尼斯女人（注1）[Blizzard1] 。我忘了她的名字，我記得有寫下來，只不過不知道丟哪去了。
How to get to Wake. Is someone hiding him? Extremism in the cause of sanity is no vice whatever it takes.
該如何抓到Wake呢？難不成有人把他給藏了起來？不論付出什麼代價，我一定要抓到他。
Local head shrinker's name keeps coming up: Hartman.
難不成是那個當地的心裡醫生：Hartman。
[Blizzard1]提奧奇尼斯〔住在桶中白晝點燈尋找正人君子的古希臘哲學家，紀元前412-323〕。
Nightingale's reference to "Lady Diogenes" refers to the Greek philosopher who walked around ancient Athens with a lamp during the day for the stated purpose of "looking for an honest man. "Clearly, he was referring to Cynthia Weaver, a well-know town eccentric who may have been more prescient about the dangers of darkness than anyone could have predicted. Also of note is the mention of Dr. Emil Hartman, who has been unresponsive to my interview requests. Later notes clearly show Nightingale to be suspicious of Hartman's practice at the Cauldron Lake Lodge.
Nightingale所說的提奧奇尼斯女人，指的是位西臘哲學家：這位哲學家在古老的雅典城市裡，在大白天之下，手上拿著燈並尋找著誠實的人。很明顯地，Nightingale說的人應該是指Cynthia Weaver：她是位先知，遠比其他人的預測更準確地查覺危險。在筆記裡有另外提到Dr. Emil Hartman，他在Nightingale的受訪裡，對於被問到的問題，都反應冷淡。接著後面還記錄著Nightingale對於Hartman's在Cauldron Lake Lodge（巨釜湖山莊）做的實驗很感興趣。
Day Four
Didn't sleep a wink. Scanner just got weirder through the night.
第四天
這段時間都沒打瞌睡，眼睛一直盯著掃描器。不過今天晚上，掃描器上的劃面變的愈來愈奇怪。
Wake is one elusive bugger. Is he the only one? Is it him holding up the whole house of cards? What'll happen then I pull?
Wake只不過是一隻擾人的蟲罷了，但是只有他一隻而以嗎？他是這整個事件的幕後黑手嗎？倒時我要是抓到他的話，會發生什麼事？
Wish I could be sure. But not to decided is to decide. Have to do what's necessary when the time comes.
真希望能找到証據，但我現在只能按兵不動。還得要準備一些東西，以防萬一。
Feels like I'm alone in the wilderness here.
在這個荒涼的地方，好像只覺的只有我在這。
Nightingale's impatience toward the end of these notes is palpable. This is the first instance where he questions Wake's statue as a solitary force. Manifold questions remain, such as why he believed Wake to be such a source of danger. Had Nightingale been drawn to Bright Falls, as I was, by a series dreams and nightmares? I'm completed to think he was acting on harder evidence than was available to me. Could this be the "ongoing investigation" referred to in my FOLA request?
從Nightingale的筆記裡，就可以知道他快等到沒耐心了。在這段文字裡，也是他第一次質疑Wake人現在應該正孤軍奮戰著，該去抓他了嗎？Nightingale心裡有想過很多很多問題，為麼他要去抓Wake？而其中一點就是：為什麼他要相信Wake是一個危險人物？難到Nightingale也跟我一樣是因為那一連串的惡夢而來到Bright Falls嗎？我可以十分的確定的是，Nightingale現在正因他找到的證據在行動著，就跟我一樣。
Day Four, Afternoon
A partner isn't like a co-worker, or a friend, or even a brother. He's your guardian, your keeper, your other wife. He keeps you on the dead straight, calls you on everything the others let slide, and he has your back when the shooting starts. That's where I failed finn. I own it to him to keep going even when everything's gone dark. When the craziness back easy started, he couldn't explain it either. That's when he needed me most. But I blew it.
第四天，下午
一位好夥伴，並不應該只是工作上的同事、一個朋友或是好兄弟，他是你的守護者、你的看守人，也是你的另一個老婆。不管你做什麼事，他都能讓你勇往直前，決無旁貸，就算是在槍戰中，他也能罩你。但是…我失敗了，是我對不起他，我應該在那最黑暗的時刻幫他的。當四周瘋狂四起，而我卻懦弱了，在他最需要我的時後，我…卻搞砸了。
I have to make it right.
我必須下定決心將這一切解決。
This is a rarity: one of the few instances where Nightingale reveals his heart, and consequently, some objective information about his motivations. That he lost a partner in the line of duty has been confirmed by my investigation, but the circumstances around that loss remain murky indeed. Clearly, he holds himself responsible in some fundamental way. Had Nightingale witnessed similar events before? How did these experiences transform him? Again, all we have is supposition and conjecture.
我發現一件奇怪的事：在這幾件例子裡，有一件事是Nightingale特別用心註解的，我認為就是槍戰那件事。我是這麼猜測的：在謀次執行公務時，他失去了他的夥伴，而現在他所剩下的，就只有黑暗壟罩他。很明顯地，在那件事之後，他做事都很有原則，大概是怕會重蹈覆轍。難到Nightingale有經歷過相似的情況嗎？還是說，這段經驗讓他有所轉變？不管怎樣，我現在所能做的，就只是假設與猜想罷了。
