I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt."

Tôi thú nhận, người bạn thân mến của tôi, rằng tôi thực sự rất mang ơn anh."

He had never said as much before, and I must admit that his words gave me keen pleasure, for I had often been piqued by his indifference to my admiration and to the attempts which I had made to give publicity to his methods.

Anh ấy chưa bao giờ nói nhiều đến vậy trước đây, và tôi phải thừa nhận rằng những lời đó đã mang lại cho tôi niềm vui sâu sắc, vì tôi đã thường cảm thấy bực bội trước sự thờ ơ của anh ấy đối với lòng ngưỡng mộ của tôi và đối với những nỗ lực mà tôi đã thực hiện để phổ biến các phương pháp của anh ấy.

I was proud, too, to think that I had so far mastered his system as to apply it in a way which earned his approval.

Tôi cũng cảm thấy tự hào khi nghĩ rằng mình đã nắm vững hệ thống của anh ấy đến mức có thể áp dụng nó theo cách được anh ấy tán thành.

He now took the stick from my hands and examined it for a few minutes with his naked eyes.

Anh ấy liền lấy chiếc gậy từ tay tôi và quan sát nó bằng mắt thường trong vài phút.

Then with an expression of interest he laid down his cigarette, and carrying the cane to the window, he looked over it again with a convex lens.

Rồi với vẻ mặt thích thú, anh ấy đặt điếu thuốc xuống, mang chiếc gậy đến cửa sổ và xem xét nó một lần nữa bằng kính lúp lồi.

"Interesting, though elementary," said he as he returned to his favourite corner of the settee.

"Thú vị, dù còn đơn giản," anh ấy nói khi trở về góc yêu thích của mình trên chiếc ghế dài.

"There are certainly one or two indications upon the stick.

"Chắc chắn có một hoặc hai dấu hiệu trên chiếc gậy này.

It gives us the basis for several deductions."

Nó cung cấp cho chúng ta cơ sở cho một số suy luận."

"Has anything escaped me?" I asked with some self-importance.

"Có điều gì tôi bỏ sót không?" Tôi hỏi với vẻ tự mãn.

"I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?"

"Tôi tin rằng không có điều gì quan trọng mà tôi đã bỏ qua?"

"I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your conclusions were erroneous.

"Tôi e rằng, Watson thân mến, hầu hết các kết luận của anh đều sai lầm.

When I said that you stimulated me I meant, to be frank, that in noting your fallacies I was occasionally guided towards the truth.

Khi tôi nói rằng anh đã kích thích tôi, thì thành thật mà nói, ý tôi là khi nhận ra những sai lầm của anh, tôi đôi khi được dẫn dắt đến sự thật.

Not that you are entirely wrong in this instance.

Không phải là anh hoàn toàn sai trong trường hợp này.

The man is certainly a country practitioner.

Người đàn ông đó chắc chắn là một thầy thuốc ở vùng nông thôn.

And he walks a good deal."

Và ông ta đi bộ khá nhiều."

"Then I was right.

"Vậy thì tôi đã đúng.
