博斯科姆比溪谷秘案 24现场调查(2)（在线收听）

"We have got to the deductions and the inferences," said Lestrade, winking at me.

雷斯垂德一面对我使了个眼色一面说："我们已经用演绎法来推断过了。

"I find it hard enough to tackle facts, Holmes, without flying away after theories and fancies."

福尔摩斯，我觉得，不去轻率地空发议论和想入非非，专门去调查核实事实就已经够难办的了。"

"You are right," said Holmes demurely; "you do find it very hard to tackle the facts."

福尔摩斯很有风趣地说："你说得对，你确实觉得核实事实很难办。"

"Anyhow, I have grasped one fact which you seem to find it difficult to get hold of," replied Lestrade with some warmth. "And that is..."

雷斯垂德有点激动地回答说："不管怎么样，我已经掌握了一个你似乎难以掌握的事实。""那就是..."

"That McCarthy senior met his death from McCarthy junior and that all theories to the contrary are the merest moonshine."

"那就是麦卡锡死于小麦卡锡之手，与此相反的一切说法都是空谈。"

"Well, moonshine is a brighter thing than fog," said Holmes, laughing.

福尔摩斯笑着说："唔，月光总比迷雾要明亮些。

"But I am very much mistaken if this is not Hatherley Farm upon the left." "Yes, that is it."

左边不就是哈瑟利农场了吗，你们看是不是？""是的，那就是。"

It was a widespread, comfortable-looking building, two-storied, slate-roofed,

那是一所占地面积很大、样式令人感到舒适惬意的两层石板瓦顶楼房，

with great yellow blotches of lichen upon the gray walls.

灰色的墙上长着大片大片的黄色苔藓。

The drawn blinds and the smokeless chimneys, however, gave it a stricken look,

然而窗帘低垂，烟囱也不冒烟，显得很凄凉的样子，

as though the weight of this horror still lay heavy upon it.

仿佛这次事件的恐怖气氛仍然沉甸甸地压在它的上面似的。
