The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 4
他几乎没有说话，却用和蔼的眼神示意我坐进一张扶手椅，把他的雪茄盒扔了过来，并指了指角落里的酒架和汽水瓶。
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.
然后他站在壁炉前，用他那种独特的若有所思的目光打量着我。
Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
「婚姻很适合你，」他说道。「我想，华生，自从我上次见到你，你已经胖了七磅半。」
"Wedlock suits you," he remarked. "I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you."
「七磅！」我答道。
"Seven!" I answered.
「哦，我本以为还不止这些。多了那么一点点，我猜是的，华生。而且我观察到你又重新开业了，你没有告诉我你打算重操旧业。」
"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness."
「那么，你是怎么知道的？」
"Then, how do you know?"
「我看出来的，我推断出来的。我怎么知道你最近淋了雨，而且你有一个极其笨手笨脚、粗心大意的女仆？」
"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?"
「我亲爱的福尔摩斯，」我说，「这也太厉害了。你若是生在几百年前，肯定早就被烧死了。确实，我星期四在乡下散步，回来时弄得一团糟，但我已经换了衣服，实在想不通你是怎么推断出来的。至于玛丽·简，她真是无可救药，我妻子已经辞退了她，但在这件事上，我同样看不出你是如何推算出来的。」
"My dear Holmes," said I, "this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. 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. 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."
他独自轻笑着，将他那双修长而敏感的手搓了搓。
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
