A Study in Scarlet — Page 1

English → Chinese CHAPTER I. Level 6/10

MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES.

夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生。

In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army.

1878年，我获得了伦敦大学医学博士学位，随后前往内特利接受军队外科医生的规定课程培训。

Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon.

在那里完成学业后，我被正式分配到第五诺森伯兰燧发枪团担任助理外科医生。

The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out.

该团当时驻扎在印度，而在我能够前去归队之前，第二次阿富汗战争已经爆发。

On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps had advanced through the passes, and was already deep in the enemy's country.

在孟买登陆时，我得知我所在的部队已经穿越山口，深入敌境。

I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.

然而，我与许多处境相同的军官一同跟进，安全抵达坎大哈，在那里找到了我的团，并立即开始了新的职责。

The campaign brought honours and promotion to many, but for me it had nothing but misfortune and disaster.

这场战役为许多人带来了荣誉和晋升，但对我而言却只有不幸与灾难。

I was removed from my brigade and attached to the Berkshires, with whom I served at the fatal battle of Maiwand.

我被从所在旅调离，转隶伯克郡团，随该团参加了致命的迈万德之战。

There I was struck on the shoulder by a Jezail bullet, which shattered the bone and grazed the subclavian artery.

在那里，我的肩部被一颗杰扎尔步枪子弹击中，骨头被打碎，锁骨下动脉也被擦伤。

I should have fallen into the hands of the murderous Ghazis had it not been for the devotion and courage shown by Murray, my orderly, who threw me across a pack-horse, and succeeded in bringing me safely to the British lines.

若非我的勤务兵默里所展现出的忠诚与勇气，我早已落入凶残的加齐武士之手；他将我横搭在一匹驮马上，成功地将我安全带回英军阵线。
