The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 8
As he entered his eyes fell upon the stick in Holmes's hand, and he ran towards it with an exclamation of joy.
彼が入ってくると、その目はホームズの手にある杖に落ち、喜びの声を上げながらそれに向かって走り寄った。
"I am so very glad," said he.
「本当に良かった」と彼は言った。
"I was not sure whether I had left it here or in the Shipping Office.
「ここに置き忘れたのか、それとも海運局に置いてきたのか、わからなかったのです。
I would not lose that stick for the world."
あの杖は何があっても失いたくないのです。」
"A presentation, I see," said Holmes.
「贈り物ですね」とホームズは言った。
"Yes, sir."
「そうです。」
"From Charing Cross Hospital?"
「チャリング・クロス病院から？」
"From one or two friends there on the occasion of my marriage."
「結婚の際に、そこの二、三の友人たちからいただきました。」
"Dear, dear, that's bad!" said Holmes, shaking his head.
「これは困った、それは残念だ！」とホームズは首を振りながら言った。
Dr. Mortimer blinked through his glasses in mild astonishment.
モーティマー博士は軽い驚きの表情で眼鏡越しにまばたきをした。
"Why was it bad?"
「なぜ残念なのですか？」
"Only that you have disarranged our little deductions.
「ただ、あなたが私たちの小さな推理を狂わせてしまったということです。
Your marriage, you say?"
結婚されたとおっしゃるのですか？」
"Yes, sir.
「はい、そうです。
I married, and so left the hospital, and with it all hopes of a consulting practice.
結婚したので病院を辞め、それとともに専門的な診察を開く望みも諦めました。
It was necessary to make a home of my own."
自分自身の家庭を築く必要があったのです。」
"Come, come, we are not so far wrong, after all," said Holmes.
「まあまあ、結局のところ、私たちはそれほど大きく外れていたわけではありません」とホームズは言った。
"And now, Dr. James Mortimer—"
「さて、ジェームズ・モーティマー博士——」
"Mister, sir, Mister—a humble M.R.C.S."
「ミスターです、ミスター——王立外科医師会会員の端くれにすぎません。」
"And a man of precise mind, evidently."
「そして、明らかに几帳面な方ですね。」
"A dabbler in science, Mr. Holmes, a picker up of shells on the shores of the great unknown ocean.
「科学の素人です、ホームズさん、広大な未知の海の岸辺で貝殻を拾い集める者にすぎません。
I presume that it is Mr. Sherlock Holmes whom I am addressing and not—"
私がお話ししているのはシャーロック・ホームズさんであって、そうでない方では——」
"No, this is my friend Dr. Watson."
「いいえ、こちらは私の友人のワトスン博士です。」
"Glad to meet you, sir.
「お会いできて光栄です。
I have heard your name mentioned in connection with that of your friend.
あなたのお名前はご友人の名前と関連してお聞きしたことがあります。
You interest me very much, Mr. Holmes.
あなたはとても興味深い方です、ホームズさん。
