A Study in Scarlet — Page 7
"And yet you say he is not a medical student?"
「然而你说他不是医科学生?」
"No. Heaven knows what the objects of his studies are. But here we are, and you must form your own impressions about him."
「不是。天知道他研究的对象是什么。不过我们到了,你得自己去判断他这个人。」
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.
他说话间,我们转入一条窄巷,穿过一扇小侧门,进入这座大医院的一翼。
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.
这里对我来说是熟悉的地方,我不需要人引路,我们沿着阴冷的石阶而上,走过那条长廊,两侧是粉刷过的白墙和暗褐色的门。
Near the further end a low arched passage branched away from it and led to the chemical laboratory.
靠近尽头处,一条低矮的拱形通道从长廊分岔而出,通向化学实验室。
This was a lofty chamber, lined and littered with countless bottles.
那是一间高大的房间,四壁排列着、地上散放着无数瓶瓶罐罐。
Broad, low tables were scattered about, which bristled with retorts, test-tubes, and little Bunsen lamps, with their blue flickering flames.
宽而低矮的桌子散布其间,上面密密麻麻摆着曲颈瓶、试管和小型本生灯,灯上跳动着蓝色的火焰。
There was only one student in the room, who was bending over a distant table absorbed in his work.
房间里只有一个学生,他俯身在远处的桌子上,全神贯注于自己的工作。
At the sound of our steps he glanced round and sprang to his feet with a cry of pleasure.
听到我们的脚步声,他回头一望,随即欣喜地叫了一声,跳了起来。
"I've found it! I've found it," he shouted to my companion, running towards us with a test-tube in his hand.
「我找到了!我找到了,」他向我的同伴喊道,手里拿着一支试管朝我们跑来。
"I have found a re-agent which is precipitated by hæmoglobin, and by nothing else."
「我找到了一种试剂,只有血红蛋白才能使它产生沉淀,其他任何物质都不行。」
Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon his features.
就算他发现了一座金矿,脸上也不会流露出比这更大的喜悦。
"Dr. Watson, Mr. Sherlock Holmes," said Stamford, introducing us.
「华生医生,夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生,」斯坦福为我们互相介绍道。
"How are you?
「你好吗?
