The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 2

"
"I think," said I, following as far as I could the methods of my companion, "that Dr. Mortimer is a successful, elderly medical man, well-esteemed since those who know him give him this mark of their appreciation."
"Tôi nghĩ," tôi nói, cố gắng theo dõi các phương pháp của người bạn đồng hành của mình đến mức tối đa có thể, "rằng Bác sĩ Mortimer là một bác sĩ lớn tuổi thành đạt, được kính trọng vì những người biết ông đã trao cho ông dấu hiệu đánh giá cao này."
"Good!" said Holmes. "Excellent!"
"Tốt lắm!" Holmes nói. "Xuất sắc!"
"I think also that the probability is in favour of his being a country practitioner who does a great deal of his visiting on foot."
"Tôi cũng nghĩ rằng khả năng cao ông ấy là một thầy thuốc ở vùng quê, người thường đi bộ khám bệnh cho bệnh nhân."
"Why so?"
"Tại sao vậy?"
"Because this stick, though originally a very handsome one has been so knocked about that I can hardly imagine a town practitioner carrying it. The thick-iron ferrule is worn down, so it is evident that he has done a great amount of walking with it."
"Bởi vì cây gậy này, dù ban đầu rất đẹp, đã bị va đập nhiều đến mức tôi khó có thể hình dung một thầy thuốc ở thành phố lại mang nó. Đầu bọc sắt dày đã bị mòn, vì vậy rõ ràng là ông ấy đã đi bộ rất nhiều với nó."
"Perfectly sound!" said Holmes.
"Hoàn toàn chính xác!" Holmes nói.
"And then again, there is the 'friends of the C.C.H.' I should guess that to be the Something Hunt, the local hunt to whose members he has possibly given some surgical assistance, and which has made him a small presentation in return."
"Và hơn nữa, còn có 'những người bạn của C.C.H.' Tôi đoán đó là một Hội Săn bắn nào đó, hội săn bắn địa phương mà ông ấy có thể đã hỗ trợ phẫu thuật cho các thành viên, và hội đó đã tặng cho ông một món quà nhỏ để đáp lại."
"Really, Watson, you excel yourself," said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette.
"Thật sự, Watson, anh đã vượt qua chính mình," Holmes nói, đẩy ghế ra sau và châm một điếu thuốc lá.
"I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities.
"Tôi phải nói rằng trong tất cả những ghi chép mà anh đã tốt bụng kể lại về những thành tích nhỏ của tôi, anh đã thường xuyên đánh giá thấp khả năng của chính mình.
It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.
Có thể anh không tự mình tỏa sáng, nhưng anh là người dẫn truyền ánh sáng. Một số người không có thiên tài nhưng lại có khả năng đáng chú ý trong việc kích thích nó.
