A Study in Scarlet — Page 1
推理的科学。
THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION.
我们按照他的安排，第二天见了面，并察看了他在我们初次见面时提到的贝克街221B号的房间。
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.
房间由两间舒适的卧室和一间宽敞明亮的大客厅组成，布置得温馨雅致，两扇宽大的窗户为房间带来充足的光线。
They consisted of a couple of comfortable bed-rooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows.
这套住所各方面都十分理想，两人分摊房租后费用也显得相当合理，于是我们当场就谈妥了，并立即搬了进去。
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.
就在那天傍晚，我把行李从旅馆搬了过来，第二天上午，夏洛克·福尔摩斯也带着几只箱子和皮箱跟了过来。
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.
我们花了一两天时间忙着拆箱，尽量把各自的东西摆放得井井有条。
For a day or two we were busily employed in unpacking and laying out our property to the best advantage.
安顿好之后，我们便逐渐开始适应新的生活环境。
That done, we gradually began to settle down and to accommodate ourselves to our new surroundings.
福尔摩斯确实不是一个难以相处的室友。
Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with.
他为人安静，生活习惯也很有规律。
He was quiet in his ways, and his habits were regular.
他很少在夜里十点之后还未就寝，而且每天早上我起床之前，他必定已经吃完早饭出门了。
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.
他有时在化学实验室里度过一整天，有时待在解剖室里，偶尔也会外出长时间散步，而那些散步似乎总是把他带到城里最底层的地方去。
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.
