A Study in Scarlet — Page 9
ha!" he cried, clapping his hands, and looking as delighted as a child with a new toy. "What do you think of that?"
"하!" 그가 손뼉을 치며 외쳤는데, 새 장난감을 받은 아이처럼 기뻐 보였다. "이것에 대해 어떻게 생각하십니까?"
"It seems to be a very delicate test," I remarked.
"매우 정교한 검사법인 것 같군요," 내가 말했다.
"Beautiful! beautiful! The old Guiacum test was very clumsy and uncertain.
"아름답습니다! 아름다워요! 예전의 과이아쿰 검사법은 매우 조잡하고 불확실했습니다.
So is the microscopic examination for blood corpuscles.
혈구를 위한 현미경 검사도 마찬가지입니다.
The latter is valueless if the stains are a few hours old.
후자는 얼룩이 생긴 지 몇 시간이 지나면 무용지물이 됩니다.
Now, this appears to act as well whether the blood is old or new.
하지만 이 검사법은 혈액이 오래된 것이든 새것이든 똑같이 잘 작동하는 것 같습니다.
Had this test been invented, there are hundreds of men now walking the earth who would long ago have paid the penalty of their crimes."
이 검사법이 일찍 발명되었다면, 지금 이 땅을 활보하고 있는 수백 명의 사람들이 오래전에 그들의 죄에 대한 대가를 치렀을 것입니다."
"Indeed!" I murmured.
"정말이요!" 내가 중얼거렸다.
"Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point.
"범죄 사건들은 끊임없이 바로 그 한 가지 점에 달려 있습니다.
A man is suspected of a crime months perhaps after it has been committed.
어떤 사람이 범죄가 저질러진 지 몇 달이 지나서야 용의자로 의심받는 경우가 있습니다.
His linen or clothes are examined, and brownish stains discovered upon them.
그의 속옷이나 옷을 조사하면 그 위에서 갈색 얼룩이 발견됩니다.
Are they blood stains, or mud stains, or rust stains, or fruit stains, or what are they?
그것이 혈흔인지, 진흙 얼룩인지, 녹 얼룩인지, 과일 얼룩인지, 아니면 무엇인지?
That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why?
이것이 많은 전문가들을 곤혹스럽게 해온 질문인데, 왜 그럴까요?
Because there was no reliable test.
믿을 만한 검사법이 없었기 때문입니다.
Now we have the Sherlock Holmes' test, and there will no longer be any difficulty."
이제 우리에게는 셜록 홈즈의 검사법이 있으니, 더 이상 어떤 어려움도 없을 것입니다."
His eyes fairly glittered as he spoke, and he put his hand over his heart and bowed as if to some applauding crowd conjured up by his imagination.
그가 말하는 동안 그의 눈은 반짝반짝 빛났고, 그는 손을 가슴에 얹고 마치 자신의 상상 속에서 불러낸 환호하는 군중에게 하듯 허리를 굽혀 인사했다.
"You are to be congratulated," I remarked, considerably surprised at his enthusiasm.
"축하드립니다," 내가 그의 열정에 상당히 놀라며 말했다.
"There was the case of Von Bischoff at Frankfort last year.
"작년 프랑크푸르트에서 폰 비쇼프 사건이 있었습니다.
