The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 8
'以华伦斯坦之死的发生地而著称，同时也以众多玻璃工厂和造纸厂闻名。'哈，哈，我的好小子，你怎么看？"
'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?"
他的眼睛闪闪发光，从雪茄里吐出一大团蓝色的得意烟雾。
His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.
"这纸是在波希米亚制造的，"我说。
"The paper was made in Bohemia," I said.
"正是。而写这张便条的人是个德国人。你注意到这句话奇特的结构了吗——'关于您的情况我们已从各方面收到消息。'一个法国人或俄国人不可能写出这样的句子。正是德国人如此怠慢他的动词。因此，现在只需要弄清楚，这个用波希米亚纸写字、宁愿戴面具也不愿露脸的德国人究竟想要什么。如果我没猜错的话，他就要来解答我们所有的疑问了。"
"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts."
就在他说话的时候，马蹄声和车轮摩擦路沿的声音清脆地响起，随后是一阵急促的门铃声。福尔摩斯吹了声口哨。
As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.
"听声音，是一对马，"他说。"是的，"他接着说，向窗外望了一眼，"一辆漂亮的小型双轮马车，配着一对好马。每匹值一百五十几尼。华生，这案子里有钱，就算没有别的也值了。"
"A pair, by the sound," said he. "Yes," he continued, glancing out of the window. "A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else."
"我想我最好还是离开，福尔摩斯。"
"I think that I had better go, Holmes."
"不必，医生。留在这里吧。没有我的鲍斯韦尔，我可迷失方向了。而且这件事看来很有趣，错过了实在可惜。
"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.
