希腊翻译（16）（在线收听）

“He opened the door as he spoke, and I had hardly time to spring out when the coachman lashed the horse and the carriage rattled away. I looked around me in astonishment. I was on some sort of a heathy common mottled over with dark clumps of furze-bushes. Far away stretched a line of houses, with a light here and there in the upper windows. On the other side I saw the red signal-lamps of a railway.

“The carriage which had brought me was already out of sight. I stood gazing round and wondering where on earth I might be, when I saw some one coming towards me in the darkness. As he came up to me I made out that he was a railway porter.

“‘Can you tell me what place this is?’ I asked.

“‘Wandsworth Common,’ said he.

“‘Can I get a train into town?’

“‘If you walk on a mile or so to Clapham Junction,’ said he, ‘you'll just be in time for the last to Victoria.’

“So that was the end of my adventure, Mr. Holmes. I do not know where I was, nor whom I spoke with, nor anything save what I have told you. But I know that there is foul play going on, and I want to help that unhappy man if I can. I told the whole story to Mr. Mycroft Holmes next morning, and subsequently to the police.”

We all sat in silence for some little time after listening to this extraordinary narrative. Then Sherlock looked across at his brother.

“他边说边打开车门，我刚刚跳下车，车夫便扬鞭策马疾驶而去。我惊惜地环顾四周。原来我置身荒野，四下是黑乎乎的灌木丛。远处一排房屋，窗户闪着灯光；另一边是铁路的红色信号灯。

“载我来到此地的那辆马车已经无影无踪了。我站在那里向四下呆呆地望着．想弄清究竟身在何地，这时我看到有人摸黑向我走来。等他走到我面前，我才看出他是铁路搬运工。

“‘你能告诉我这里是什么地方吗？’我问道。

“‘这是旺兹沃思荒地。’他说道。

“‘这里有火车进城吗？’

“‘如果你步行一英里左右到克拉彭枢纽站，’他说道，‘正好可以赶上去维多利亚车站的未班车。’

“我这段惊险经历就到此为止。福尔摩斯先生，除了刚才对你讲的事情之外，我既不知所到何地，也不知和我谈话的是何人，其它情况也一概不知。不过我知道那里正进行着肮脏的勾当。如果可能，我就要帮助那个不幸的人。第二天早最，我把全部情况告诉了迈克罗夫特，福尔摩斯先生，随后就向警察报了案。”

听完了这一段离奇曲折的故事，我们一言不发地静坐了一会儿。后来歇洛克望望他哥哥。
