The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 4

English → Vi Full Text Level 6/10

With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner.

Hầu như không nói một lời nào, nhưng với ánh mắt thân thiện, ông ra hiệu cho tôi ngồi vào chiếc ghế bành, ném hộp xì gà qua cho tôi, và chỉ vào một hộp rượu cùng một bình nước có ga ở góc phòng.

Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

Rồi ông đứng trước lò sưởi và nhìn tôi theo cái cách suy xét nội tâm đặc trưng của ông.

"Wedlock suits you," he remarked.

"Hôn nhân hợp với anh đấy," ông nhận xét.

"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you."

"Tôi nghĩ, Watson, rằng anh đã tăng bảy pound rưỡi kể từ lần cuối tôi gặp anh."

"Seven!" I answered.

"Bảy thôi!" Tôi đáp.

"Indeed, I should have thought a little more.

"Thật vậy, tôi đáng lẽ phải nghĩ là nhiều hơn một chút.

Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson.

Chỉ một chút thôi, tôi cứ tưởng vậy, Watson.

And in practice again, I observe.

Và anh đã hành nghề trở lại, tôi thấy vậy.

You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness."

Anh đã không nói với tôi rằng anh có ý định quay lại làm việc."

"Then, how do you know?"

"Vậy thì, làm sao ông biết?"

"I see it, I deduce it.

"Tôi thấy nó, tôi suy luận ra nó.

How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?"

Làm sao tôi biết rằng gần đây anh đã bị ướt sũng, và rằng anh có một cô hầu gái vô cùng vụng về và cẩu thả?"

"My dear Holmes," said I, "this is too much.

"Holmes thân mến," tôi nói, "điều này thật quá mức.

You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago.

Chắc chắn ông đã bị thiêu sống rồi, nếu ông sống cách đây vài thế kỷ.

It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it.

Đúng là tôi có đi dạo ở vùng quê vào hôm thứ Năm và trở về nhà trong tình trạng lôi thôi lếch thếch, nhưng vì tôi đã thay quần áo rồi nên tôi không thể tưởng tượng được ông suy luận ra điều đó bằng cách nào.

As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice, but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out."

Còn về Mary Jane, cô ấy thật không thể sửa được, và vợ tôi đã báo cho cô ấy nghỉ việc, nhưng ở đây, một lần nữa, tôi không thể hiểu được ông tìm ra điều đó bằng cách nào."

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

Ông tự mình khúc khích cười và xoa hai bàn tay dài, bồn chồn của mình vào nhau.
