从他的下半张脸来看,他似乎是个性格坚强的人,嘴唇厚实下垂,下巴修长笔直,透着一股近乎固执的坚毅之气。

From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.

「你收到我的便条了吗?」他用低沉粗哑的声音问道,带着浓重的德国口音。

"You had my note?" he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent.

「我告诉过你我会来拜访。」他在我们两人之间来回打量,似乎不确定该向谁说话。

"I told you that I would call." He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.

「请坐,」福尔摩斯说道。「这位是我的朋友兼同事华生医生,他偶尔会帮我处理案件。请问我有幸与哪位交谈?」

"Pray take a seat," said Holmes. "This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?"

「您可以称呼我为冯·克拉姆伯爵,波西米亚贵族。我了解这位先生,您的朋友,是位有荣誉感且谨慎可靠的人,可以信任他处理一件极为重要的事情。若不然,我宁愿单独与您沟通。」

"You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone."

我起身准备离开,但福尔摩斯抓住我的手腕,把我推回了椅子上。「要么两人都在,要么一个都不留,」他说。「您可以当着这位先生的面,说任何您要对我说的话。」

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. "It is both, or none," said he. "You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me."

伯爵耸了耸他宽阔的肩膀。「那我必须先说,」他道,「要求你们两人对此事绝对保密,为期两年;到那时候,这件事便无关紧要了。」

The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. "Then I must begin," said he, "by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance.
