巴斯克威尔的猎犬 疑案（8）（在线收听）

"My dear Holmes!"

“我亲爱的福尔摩斯！”

"Am I right?"

“我说得对吗？ ”

"Certainly, but how?"

“当然了， 可是怎么——”

He laughed at my bewildered expression.

他讥笑着我那莫名其妙的神情。

"There is a delightful freshness about you, Watson, which makes it a pleasure to exercise anysmall powers which I possess at your expense. A gentleman goes forth on a showery and miry day.

He returns immaculate in the evening with the gloss still on his hat and his boots. He has been afixture therefore all day. He is not a man with intimate friends. Where, then, could he have been?Is it not obvious?"

“华生， 因为你带着一身 轻松愉快的神情， 使我很想耍耍小把戏拿你开开心。 一位绅士在泥泞的雨天出了门； 晚上回来的时候， 身上却干干净净， 帽上、 鞋上依然发着亮光， 他一定是整天呆坐未动。 他还是个没有亲近朋友的人， 这么说来， 他还会到哪里去过呢？ 这不是很明显的事吗？ ”

"Well, it is rather obvious."

“对， 相当明显。”

"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. Where doyou think that I have been?"“世界上有的是没有人看得出来的明显的事。 你以为我是呆在什么地方的？ ”

"A fixture also."

“这不是呆在这里没有动吗？ ”

"On the contrary, I have been to Devonshire."“正相反， 我到德文郡去过了 。”

"In spirit?"

“‘魂灵’ 去了吧？ ”

"Exactly. My body has remained in this armchair and has, I regret to observe, consumed inmy absence two large pots of coffee and an incredible amount of tobacco. After you left I sentdown to Stamford's for the Ordnance map of this portion of the moor, and my spirit has hoveredover it all day. I flatter myself that I could find my way about."“正是， 我的肉体一直是坐在这只安乐椅里。 可是遗憾的是， 我竟在‘魂灵’ 已远远飞走的期间喝掉了两大壶咖啡， 抽了多得难以相信的烟草。 你走了以后， 我派人去斯坦弗警局取来了绘有沼地这一地区的地图， 我的‘魂灵’ 就在这张地图上转了一天。 我自 信对那个地区的道路已了如指掌了。”

"A large-scale map, I presume?"

“我想该是一张很详细的地图吧？ ”

"Very large." He unrolled one section and held it over his knee. "Here you have the particulardistrict which concerns us. That is Baskerville Hall in the middle."“很详细。” 他把地图打开了一部分放在膝头上。“这里就是与我们特别有关系的地区。中间的地方就是巴斯克维尔庄园。”
