巴斯克威尔的猎犬 亨利· 巴斯克维尔爵士（9）（在线收听）

He was carefully examining the foolscap, upon which the words were pasted, holding it onlyan inch or two from his eyes.

他把贴着字的那张１ ３ × １ ７ 英寸的信纸拿到离眼睛只有一二英寸的地方仔细地检查着。

"Well?"

“啊？ ”

"Nothing," said he, throwing it down. "It is a blank halfsheet of paper, without even awater-mark upon it. I think we have drawn as much as we can from this curious letter; and now,Sir Henry, has anything else of interest happened to you since you have been in London?"“没有什么， ” 他一面说着一面又扔下了信纸，“这是半张空白信纸， 上边连个水印都没有。 我想， 咱们从这封奇异的信上能够得到的东西也就仅止于此了 。 啊， 亨利爵士， 从您来到伦敦以后， 还发生过什么值得注意的事情吗？ ”

"Why, no, Mr. Holmes. I think not."

“嗯， 没有， 福尔摩斯先生。 我想还没有。”

"You have not observed anyone follow or watch you?"“您还没有看到过有人注意您的行动或是盯您的梢吗？ ”

"I seem to have walked right into the thick of a dime novel," said our visitor. "Why in thundershould anyone follow or watch me?"

“我好象是走进了一本情节离奇惊人的小说里似的，” 我们的客人说，“见鬼， 盯我的梢干什么？ ”

"We are coming to that. You have nothing else to report to us before we go into this matter?"“我们就要谈这个问题了。 在我们谈这问题之前， 您再没有什么可告诉我们的了 吗？ ”

"Well, it depends upon what you think worth reporting."“噢， 这要看什么事情是你们认为值得讲的了 。”

"I think anything out of the ordinary routine of life well worth reporting."“我认为日常生活里的任何反常的事情都是值得提出来的。”

Sir Henry smiled.

亨利爵士微笑起来。

"I don't know much of British life yet, for I have spent nearly all my time in the States and inCanada. But I hope that to lose one of your boots is not part of the ordinary routine of life overhere."

“对于英国人的生活， 我知道得还不多， 因我的时间几乎全部都是在美国和加拿大度过的。 可是我希望失落一只皮鞋并不是这里的日常生活的一部分吧？ ”

"You have lost one of your boots?"

“您丢了一只皮鞋吗？ ”

"My dear sir," cried Dr. Mortimer, "it is only mislaid. You will find it when you return to thehotel. What is the use of troubling Mr. Holmes with trifles of this kind?"“我亲爱的爵士，” 摩梯末医生叫了 起来，“这不过是放错了地方罢了。 您回到旅馆以后就会找到的。 拿这种小事来烦扰福尔摩斯先生有什么用呢？ ”

"Well, he asked me for anything outside the ordinary routine."“唉， 是他问我除了 日常生活之外还发生过什么事情啊。”
