A Study in Scarlet — Page 7
"
「
"And yet you say he is not a medical student?"
「それでも彼は医学生ではないとおっしゃるのですか?」
"No. Heaven knows what the objects of his studies are. But here we are, and you must form your own impressions about him."
「そうです。彼が何を研究しているのか、神のみぞ知るです。でも、もう着きました。彼についてはご自身で印象を持っていただかなければなりません。」
As he spoke, we turned down a narrow lane and passed through a small side-door, which opened into a wing of the great hospital.
彼が話しながら、私たちは狭い路地を曲がり、小さな脇扉を通り抜けました。その扉は大きな病院の一翼へと続いていました。
It was familiar ground to me, and I needed no guiding as we ascended the bleak stone staircase and made our way down the long corridor with its vista of whitewashed wall and dun-coloured doors.
そこは私には馴染みの場所で、荒涼とした石の階段を上り、白く塗られた壁と薄茶色のドアが続く長い廊下を歩く間、案内は必要ありませんでした。
Near the further end a low arched passage branched away from it and led to the chemical laboratory.
廊下の奥の方で、低いアーチ型の通路が枝分かれして化学実験室へと続いていました。
This was a lofty chamber, lined and littered with countless bottles.
そこは天井の高い部屋で、無数の瓶が壁に並べられ、散らばっていました。
Broad, low tables were scattered about, which bristled with retorts, test-tubes, and little Bunsen lamps, with their blue flickering flames.
幅広い低いテーブルがあちこちに置かれており、そこには蒸留器、試験管、そして青い揺らめく炎を持つ小さなブンゼンランプがびっしりと並んでいました。
There was only one student in the room, who was bending over a distant table absorbed in his work.
部屋には学生が一人だけいて、遠くのテーブルに身をかがめ、仕事に没頭していました。
At the sound of our steps he glanced round and sprang to his feet with a cry of pleasure.
私たちの足音を聞くと、彼は振り返り、喜びの声を上げながら勢いよく立ち上がりました。
"I've found it! I've found it," he shouted to my companion, running towards us with a test-tube in his hand.
「見つけた!見つけたぞ」と彼は私の連れに向かって叫びながら、手に試験管を持って私たちの方へ走ってきました。
"I have found a re-agent which is precipitated by hæmoglobin, and by nothing else."
「ヘモグロビンによってのみ沈殿する試薬を発見したんだ。」
Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon his features.
金鉱を発見したとしても、これ以上の喜びが彼の顔に輝くことはなかったでしょう。
"Dr. Watson, Mr. Sherlock Holmes," said Stamford, introducing us.
「ワトソン先生、シャーロック・ホームズさんです」とスタンフォードは私たちを紹介しながら言いました。
"How are you?
「ご機嫌いかがですか?
