The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 14
Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.
有一次我们在她旅行时转移了她的行李。有两次她遭到拦截。但都没有结果。
"No sign of it?"
「毫无线索？」
"Absolutely none."
「绝对没有。」
Holmes laughed. "It is quite a pretty little problem," said he.
福尔摩斯笑了。「这是个相当有趣的小难题，」他说。
"But a very serious one to me," returned the King reproachfully.
「但对我来说却是非常严重的，」国王带着责怪的语气回答道。
"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?"
「确实非常严重。那她打算如何处置那张照片？」
"To ruin me."
「毁掉我。」
"But how?"
「但如何毁法？」
"I am about to be married."
「我即将结婚。」
"So I have heard."
「我有所耳闻。」
"To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end."
「对象是克洛蒂尔德·洛特曼·冯·萨克斯-梅宁根，斯堪的纳维亚国王的二公主。您或许了解她家族严格的原则。她本人更是高雅的化身。若我的行为受到丝毫的质疑，这门婚事便会就此告终。」
"And Irene Adler?"
「那艾琳·阿德勒呢？」
"Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none."
「她威胁要将照片寄给他们。而且她会这么做的。我知道她一定会的。您不了解她，但她有着钢铁般的意志。她拥有世上最美丽女人的容颜，以及最坚定男人的心智。为了不让我娶另一个女人，她什么事都做得出来——没有任何底线。」
"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?"
「您确定她还没有寄出去？」
"I am sure."
「我确定。」
"And why?"
「为什么呢？」
"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.
「因为她说过，她会在婚约公开宣布的那天寄出去。那将是下周一。」
