The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 9

English → Chinese Full Text Level 6/10

"But your client—"

"但是您的委托人——"

"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention."

"别管他。我可能需要您的帮助，他也可能需要。他来了。坐到那张扶手椅上，医生，请全神贯注。"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door.

一阵沉重而缓慢的脚步声，先是在楼梯上和走廊里响起，随即在门外停住了。

Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

接着传来一声响亮而威严的敲门声。

"Come in!" said Holmes.

"请进！"福尔摩斯说。

A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules.

一个男人走了进来，身高几乎不低于六英尺六英寸，胸膛和四肢宛如大力神赫拉克勒斯。

His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste.

他的衣着华贵至极，这种华贵在英国几乎会被视为俗气。

Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl.

他那件双排扣外套的袖子和前襟上横饰着宽大的阿斯特拉罕羔皮镶边，披在肩上的深蓝色斗篷内衬以火焰色丝绸，领口处用一枚镶有单颗灼目绿柱石的胸针扣住。

Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barboric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance.

那双靴子高至小腿中部，靴口处镶有华美的棕色皮毛，与他整体外貌所透露出的蛮族式豪奢气息相得益彰，令人印象深刻。

He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered.

他手里拿着一顶宽檐帽，脸的上半部戴着一副黑色遮面具，一直延伸至颧骨以下，显然他刚刚才将它戴好，因为他进来时手还举在面具旁边。
