The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 5
「这再简单不过了，」他说道，「我的眼睛告诉我，在你左鞋的内侧，就在壁炉光照到的地方，皮革上有六道几乎平行的划痕。」
"It is simplicity itself," said he; "my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts.
「显然，这些划痕是某人极其粗心地刮擦鞋底边缘所留下的，目的是去除上面结块的泥土。」
Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it.
「由此可见，我得出了双重推断：你曾在恶劣的天气里外出，而且你雇了一个对靴子极其粗暴的伦敦女仆。」
Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.
「至于你的职业，如果一位绅士走进我的房间，身上带着碘仿的气味，右手食指上有硝酸银留下的黑色印记，礼帽右侧还有一个鼓包，显示他把听诊器藏在那里，那我若无法断定他是一位在职的医学界人士，那才真是愚钝至极了。」
As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession."
我不禁对他如此轻松地解释推理过程而发笑。
I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction.
「每当我听你讲述你的推理依据，」我说道，「这件事在我看来总是显得如此可笑地简单，简单到我自己也能轻易做到，」
"When I hear you give your reasons," I remarked, "the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself,
「然而每当你推理的时候，在你解释你的过程之前，我总是一头雾水。不过我相信我的眼力并不比你差。」
though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours."
「完全正确，」他回答道，点上一支烟，随手往扶手椅里一靠，「你看到了，但你没有观察。这两者之间的区别是显而易见的。」
"Quite so," he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. "You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.
