The Third Man
/ðə ˌθɜːd ˈmæn/
/ðə ˌθɜːrd ˈmæn/
- a story written by Graham Greene for a successful film (1949), directed by Carol Reed, and later published as a short novel. The story takes place in Vienna just after the end of the Second World War and is about a US journalist's search for his friend Harry Lime. Lime has made it appear that he died in a road accident but in fact he is involved in selling harmful drugs. The star of the film is Orson Welles as Lime, although he appears in very few scenes. Many people remember the film's music, which is played on a zither, an instrument with many strings stretched over a flat wooden box, played with the fingers.
第三人：一个故事，由格雷厄姆·格林（Graham Greene）为一部成功的电影（1949）所写，由卡罗尔·里德（Carol Reed）执导，后来以短篇小说形式发表。故事发生在第二次世界大战结束后的维也纳，与一位美国记者寻找他的朋友哈里·莱姆有关。莱姆（Lime）似乎使他死于交通事故，但实际上他参与了有害药物的销售。这部电影的主角是Orson Welles，饰演Lime，尽管他出演的场景很少。许多人还记得影片的音乐，它是用古筝演奏的，是一种用手指弹奏的乐器，在一根扁平的木盒子上伸展了许多弦。
