THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION.

推理的科学。

We met next day as he had arranged, and inspected the rooms at No. 221B, Baker Street, of which he had spoken at our meeting.

我们按照他的安排在第二天见了面，参观了他在我们相遇时提到的贝克街221B号的房间。

They consisted of a couple of comfortable bed-rooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows.

那里有两间舒适的卧室和一间宽敞明亮的大客厅，陈设令人愉快，两扇宽大的窗户为房间提供了充足的光线。

So desirable in every way were the apartments, and so moderate did the terms seem when divided between us, that the bargain was concluded upon the spot, and we at once entered into possession.

这套公寓各方面都十分理想，而且两人分摊费用后租金也显得相当合理，我们当场就达成了协议，并立即入住。

That very evening I moved my things round from the hotel, and on the following morning Sherlock Holmes followed me with several boxes and portmanteaus.

就在那天晚上，我便将行李从旅馆搬了过来，第二天早上，夏洛克·福尔摩斯也带着几只箱子和旅行皮箱随后搬了进来。

For a day or two we were busily employed in unpacking and laying out our property to the best advantage.

在一两天的时间里，我们忙着拆箱整理物品，尽量将一切安排得井井有条。

That done, we gradually began to settle down and to accommodate ourselves to our new surroundings.

安顿好之后，我们便逐渐开始稳定下来，慢慢适应了新的环境。

Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with.

福尔摩斯无疑是一个很容易相处的室友。

He was quiet in his ways, and his habits were regular.

他行事低调，生活习惯也很有规律。

It was rare for him to be up after ten at night, and he had invariably breakfasted and gone out before I rose in the morning.

他很少在夜里十点之后还不睡觉，而且每天早上我起床之前，他总是已经吃完早饭出门了。

Sometimes he spent his day at the chemical laboratory, sometimes in the dissecting-rooms, and occasionally in long walks, which appeared to take him into the lowest portions of the City.

他有时整天待在化学实验室里，有时在解剖室里，偶尔也会去长途漫步，而这些漫步似乎常常将他带入城市最底层的地方。
